What is your favorite remake song. Theres a couple I like, but one that comes to mind would be I am the Walrus, played by Styx. Which Originally made by The Beatles.

[Mike From The D]

Thats a joke right?....................guess I should post one and let people shoot it apart also..........Metallica's version of "Whiskey in the jar" by Thin Lizzy.

[callmejulio]

Definitely Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower. My favorite horrible remake is Wililam Shatner's version of Lucy in the Sky w/ Diamonds.

[Senor_Queso]

99 Red Balloons by Goldfinger. That's also well up there on my list of best punk songs ever.
Wasn't 99 Red Balloons by some German band or something?

My favorite remake would be Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) by Nickelback, and I think it was originally by Elton John (fuck the what?). It's a nice song, but I don't put Nickelback on my favorite bands list.

[casean027]

Definitely Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower. My favorite horrible remake is Wililam Shatner's version of Lucy in the Sky w/ Diamonds.


Ill go with All Along the Watchtower also.

[Schizophrenic]

shout - disturbed

Shout 2000 . . .what a great remake. Mine would have to be the remake of Du Hast (by the same band- Rammstein) into an english version. I can finally understand what he's saying!

[bROW]

No the band nena originally did 99 luftballoons. Goldfinger redid it and made a hell of a song.

[j-ro_daz]

reg* Bruce Hornsby & The Range - The Way It Is
Remake* Tupac - Changes

Trick daddy -lets go
- KrAzY Train

thats all i can think of :D

[ChaoticKiller]

GNR's remake of bob dylans knockin on heavens door was not nearly as good as eric claptons remake.

[Terminus]

Ziggy Stardust by Bauhaus. Just rocked more than the original.

[sausagefingers7]

The Fairytale Of New York remade by No Use For A Name originally done by some Irish band....damnit can't remember their name.
Oh yeah, and anything Johnny Cash covered.

[reigenborn]

Ha. William Shatner.

I remembered a better one. House of the Rising Sun remadeby The Doors, Originally by Bob Dylan.
It wasn't remade by The Doors. It was remade by The Animals.

Speaking of The Animals and The Doors.

The Doors remake of Gloria kicked ass (originally done by The Animals)
The Doors remake of Back Door Man (Willie Dix)
Johnny Cash's remake of In My Life (Beatles)
Johnny Cash turned Hurt into a great song. The original really sucked ass (Nine Inch Nails)

[Shin_409]

I like Marilyn Manson's versions of Tainted Love, Your Own Personal Jesus, Sweet Dreams(Are Made Of These).

[BRAVESFAN]

Mine would have to be the remake of Du Hast (by the same band- Rammstein) into an english version. I can finally understand what he's saying!


i REALLY need to find that, i didnt know it!!! my quest has begin!!

[TurbulenceXM]

It wasn't remade by The Doors. It was remade by The Animals.

Speaking of The Animals and The Doors.

Oh. Thanks for telling me. When I looked up the remake, it said the artist was The Doors. Oh well.

[Ryan2003]

99 Red Balloons by Goldfinger. That's also well up there on my list of best punk songs ever.

I'd actually say that is one of the my favs as well. It's played on Grand Turismo i believe.... one of those racing games for PS2 anyway i can't remember.... but a remarkable song....

[TurbulenceXM]

99 Red Balloons by Goldfinger. That's also well up there on my list of best punk songs ever.

That is a great song by Goldfinger. Loved how they did it.

[led_head]

i'd have to say In My Time Of Dying by Led Zeppelin, it was originally a Bob Dylan song i believe...but rush's Summertime Blues is great too.... :rolleyes:

[Stupified]

I'm a huge Disturbed fan, So "Shout 2000" is my favorite.

BEST COVER SONGS:

Disturbed - Shout 2000
Fear Factory - Cars
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Dream Theater - Achilles Last Stand
Pantera - Cat Scratch fever
Gary Jules - Mad World
Megadeth - Paranoid

WORST COVER SONGS:

Korn - Another brick in the wall
William Shatner - Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Kid Rock - Feel like making love
Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes
Any Marilyn Manson cover

[Frostdaddy]

Thats a joke right?....................guess I should post one and let people shoot it apart also..........Metallica's version of "Whiskey in the jar" by Thin Lizzy.
I liked that one.
And I don't think Korn's Brick in the Wall was all too terrible.

[uglycatface]

some of my favorites.

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" - Spineshank (Beatles)
"Welcome to the Machine" - Shadows Fall (Pink Floyd)
"I Would Walk (500 Miles)" - DFL (Proclaimers)

[reigenborn]

WORST COVER SONGS:

Any Marilyn Manson cover
I disagree. One thing I think alot of ebaumers know about me is that I'm a huge Doors fan.

Marilyn Manson remade 'Five to One'. And I really really liked it.

If you want to talk about a bad Doors cover.. Play Need for Speed Underground 2, and listen to Snoops remake of Riders on the Storm. It's catchy, but it's not good.

And Jay-Z redid a bunch of Beatles songs.. I think he's going to be cleaning toilets in hell for that one.

[Dual]

He didn't do it. A DJ named Dangermouse did it. He made the Grey Album by combining beats from both Jay-Z and Beatles songs and put them with Jay-Z's lyrics.

[sparrky]

i will survive-cake

[HalberdBlue]

For me its a tie between Disturbed's Shout 2000 and Drive's remake of Breathe by Prodigy.

[Gilla House]

hard knock life jay-z/from annie
something musiq soulchild/the beatles
knocks me off my feat donell jones/stevie wonder
turn the page metallica/bob seger (both are good tho)

[ThoTho]

It's Turn The Page - Metallica (Bob Seger) for me. This song is so good.

[Vilkata]

dope's remake of spin me round(like a record) by someone im not sure who

[Sucrose]

It's Turn The Page - Metallica (Bob Seger) for me. This song is so good.

Thats three good cover's Metallica has. "Turn The Page"(Seger), "Tuesday's Gone"(Skynyrd), "Wiskey in the Jar"(Thin Lizzy)

But for my list...

"Hallowed Be Thy Name" - Iced Earth(Iron Maiden) - They did it very respectfully and well, loved the vocals. Even though Iron Maiden's version kicks Iced Earth's ass, its still a good cover, no one will ever beat Maiden.

[drone]

Snoop Dogg's Gin and Juice covered by Phish and Les Claypool is one of the best remakes since it changes the whole song from rap to abit of country and funky feel.

[Perro]

I liked the remake to iron maiden's Hollowed be thy name by cradle of filth. Also the Aces High remake by some fucking band I cant remember their name but the lead singer is a girl.

[Ajax]

A good remake is All along the watchtower-Jimi hendrixs and the worst is Imagine-Perfect circle

[wop]

The Man Who Sold the World - Nirvana/David Bowie

[SausMcMuff]

Trick daddy -lets go
- KrAzY Train




Pretend you didn't..........

[skater910]

Awesome Covers
All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix Experience/Bob Dylan
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC/Led Zeppelin (originally called You Shook Me)

Awful Covers of Awesome Covers
All Along the Watchtower - Dave Matthews Band (if this band is covering any Hendrix, it won't work)
You Shook Me All Night Long - Celiene Dion (not really a traditional cover, but she performed it on stage)

[DarcSystems]

Children of Bodom - The Trooper (Maiden)
Santana - She's not there (Zombies)
Aerosmith - any Beatles cover (The Beatles)
Judas Priest (I think) - Paint it Black (Stones)
Edge Of Sanity - Blood of my enemies (Manowar)

They each have their own added qualities. Hard to say something is better than the original because it wouldn't be there without the original.

[Sezril]

Amorphis - Light My Fire. It's actually pretty damn bad, but fun to listen to.

[jdust629]

Turn, Turn, Turn - The Byrds
Signs - Tesla
California Girls - David Lee Roth
Me And Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
I Just Want To Make Love To You - Foghat

[MrRngr94]

Hit me baby one more time - Type O Negative

[Mr. Pelicula]

Lot's of my faves have already been mentioned. Marylin Manson Covers suck.

Anyway, other faves are:

"Ice Cream Man" By Van Halen. Not sure who originally wrote it, but a great rock song.

"People are Strange" by Echo & The Bunnymen. Vocals will never top Jim Morrison's, but the organ solos are cool.

"I Don't Wanna Grow Up" By The Ramones. Again, not too sure who originally wrote it (too lazy to look it up), but a great Ramones song anyway.

[ZX-6RR]

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but, replying something to an old one is always better than making a new one. Remember, 'Posting & You'!

Anyhow, my favorite remake of a song would be Children of Bodom's take on 'Repent (Whore)', originally done by Cryhavoc. Sounds really good.

Also, their cover of Iron Maiden's 'Aces High', and Ozzy's 'Shot In the Dark' are quite good too.

[slipknot666]

GnR - Live and let die (McCartney)
KoRn - Word Up (Cameo)
Pantera - Planet Caravan (Black Sabbath)
Pantera - Cat Scratch Fever (Ted Nugent)
Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes (The Who)
Slayer - In-a-gadda-da-vida (Iron Butterfly)
KoRn - Another Brick In The Wall (Pink Floyd)
Metallica - Tuesday's Gone(Skynyrd)
Children Of Bodom - The Trooper (Iron Maiden)
Twiztid - People Are Strange (The Doors)

[el_Pardack]

Korn's remake of "another brick in the wall"

[UltimateFIEND78]

Velvet Revolver's cover of Surrender by Cheap Trick.

Whiskey in the Jar-Thin Lizzy-Its a folk song no one really wrote it.
When The Levee Breaks-Led Zeppelin-Memphis Mannie

[slipknot666]

"Whats goin on" (Marvin Gaye) - APC
I forgot about that one nice catch! another good song covered by A Perfect Circle was Lennon's Imagine.

[ypsidan04]

I got that video up on my myspace page currently. :)

Evanescence* - Thoughtless (Korn)

Whoever it was that covered 'Mrs. Robinson' recently, that's pretty good.

[viper22]

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt (Johnny Cash)

[UltimateFIEND78]

Dear god.

Yea my friend always tells me it's a great cover. I then continue to tell him to fuck off.

[Kazimierz]

Any Marilyn Manson cover

I like Sweet Dreams, actually.

[.EyeRate.]

I like Sweet Dreams, actually.

That is a good song.



My personal favorite cover is Rise Against's remake of Journey's song "Anyway You Want It".

If you havent heard it I recommend that you should.
