cover versions ! good or bad?!

[bublewrap_rocks]

are cover versions good or bad?! heres an example of a cover version, from a dutch band "outlandish", and their song "Aicha"...a dutch lad did a cover, which is on the Ebaums website www.ebaumsworld.com/aicha (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/aicha)
and there's even a site dedicated to the video !

has the cover ruined the original? do covers generally ruin the original versions?!

[Puddin' taine]

It depends on what band I guess is doing the cover. For example Korn should have never covered a Pink Floyd song, and Mr. Bungle covering "everybodys workin for the weekend" made that song actually sound kinda good.

It's always kinda cool to hear a band to do a cover song live though.

Depends who does the cover, if your just gonna do the same shit as the original then there is no purpose to cover the song. If you do cover a song you better hope you add creativity to it.

Oh hell yah that cover was awesome. Other good covers are Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson and Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm.

The Animals-House of The Rising Sun is a good one too.
