another damn music thread. what are your favorite covers of others songs? I don’t mean note for note replays but someone making the song theirs.
Drain S.T.H. cover of Motorhead “Ace of Spades”
Michael Hedges cover of Bob Dylan “All Along the Watchtower”
Hayseed Dixie cover of Alice Cooper “Poison”
Pearl Jam’s cover of the Who’s “Love Reign O’er Me” is pretty cool in my book.
Don’t know if this counts but, The Hellacopters last album Head Off is entirely covers and awesome.
Stevie Ray Vaughn’s Voodoo Chile and Little Wing.
Jeff Buckley “Hallelujah”
Rob Zombie “Children Of The Grave”
Metallica “Am I Evil”

Metallica redid Tuesday’s Gone acoustically and it is badass.

When I left the gym today, Alien Ant Farm’s version of “Smooth Criminal” was playing on their system. It made me think of this (and your original) thread.

Not really a Marilyn Manson fan, but this has got to be one of the best remakes:
Sweet Dreams
Fear Factory doing a remake of Gary Numan’s “Cars” wasn’t too bad either.
the only manson stuff I actually like are his covers and yeah sweet dreams is a good one of his too
Hayseed Dixie’s got so many good covers.
