Land of Confusion was a million times better.
>>691689776
Also, Man Who Sold the World.
I think Stairway to Heaven is better than the first one Taurus
>>691690018
I thought Nirvana's cover of it was better as well.
>>691688821
Lennon/Beatles
Twist and Shout
Ryan Adams' cover of wonderwall was way better I thought
>>691690186
stairway to heaven is the most overrated song ever written.
>>691689378
Even though Trent Reznor said from that point on, it was Cash's song. Yeah. Get over it.
>>691689471
>>691689650
As far as I know, even Trent himself has conceded that the cover is a better piece.
>>691690186
this fuckin guy.
Nirvanas cover of the man who sold the world is bad

Sweet Dreams - Marilyn Manson
>>691688821

Barracuda - Gretchen Wilson and Alice in chains (rock hall of fame awards I think it was)
There are probably a few I'm forgetting
>>691691798
both from the less than zero soundtrack...
Slayer - In A Gadda Da Vida
>>691692543
Cringed hard.
Love roller coaster by the red hot chilli peppers

That's interesting, I'm not a huge Marilyn Manson fan but I do like a few of his songs and I like his version of "Tainted Love" better than Gloria Jones. I'm not saying that I dislike Gloria's version, I just like Marilyn's better. I don't care for Soft Cell's version at all.
>>691692543
Hurt is the only one I give you credit for. And you can't fuckin redo Sound of Silence.
House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
>>691688821
Any cover Nirvana or Sublime did.
Mainly We're Only Gonna Die by Sublime (Bad Religion cover)
and all of Nirvana's cover's of The Vaselines.
Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World
Ghost - If You Have Ghost
Rage Against The Machine - Fuck The Police
Ghost - I'm a Marionette
>>691692619
This
Live and Let Die - Guns N' Roses
As much as I like McCartney, the original sounds like silly cartoon music compared to Slash's wailing guitar.
>>691692558
hate to say it man but you can't top that original
>>691692819
>RATM
>not posting ghost of guy dude
>>691691191
You want to say that the taste of the song's creator isn't worth considering, while simultaneously saying that the original is better than the cover?
I don't think that's directly contradictory, but you see how it's fucked up right? Perhaps it's not a fair assumption for me to make, but I assume he has more musical training than you do, and he ought to be better suited to academically analyzing music. I drink a lot of alcohol, but it doesn't impede my ability to talk about artwork on academic level?
TL;DR: Addiction doesn't preclude expertise?
>>691692904
>ghost of guy dude
Keked
>>691692650
>Blue Monday-Orgy
