Covers that are better than the original

[Fish Poke]

I really REALLY want to say Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley by Dream Theater, but it is as equally awesome as the original songs (by Queen!) so it really doesn't fit in this thread. I'll post it anyway.

I originally thought this was the original.

[CptVague]

Agree with the NIN covers of Metal, Get Down Make Love, and Memorabilia.

It took me a while to warm to Memorabilia, but I quite like it.

This is an awesome cover too

Not a million times better, but it is good. The only reason I disliked it before was because I only saw the live version, which is horrid. Bob Dylan's cool but his voice did not age well.

So you're judging it after hearing only a bad live version? That's pretty stupid.

Their dance is just priceless :v:

[Aries]

I'm sorry, but this is my favourite Knocking On Heaven's Door cover.

[ThunderGod]

Everything Hendrix covered was just gold.

[UltraViolent]

Maybe I only prefer this version because the original got overplayed.

And nothing can touch Black Sabbath but I like Alexisonfire and Sabbath so its a win win.

One word:

Apocalyptica

[mikeyt493]

i can't actually think of one cover apocalyptica did that's better than the original version

[OutOfExile2]

I feel like this version is more emotional than the Arcade Fire version, although that may be because of House

[X-tra]

[video=youtube;kgqDtU8BXf0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgqDtU8BXf0[/video]

[Jack_Thompson]

God no.

[Jorgetime]

Original are always better, unless the original one sucks.
I cant remember one of those, perhaps the Alien Ant Farm that is posted in the first page.

These covers are nearly as good as the original:

As I Lay Dying - War Essemble (Slayer)

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU8YrStzMfs[/media]
The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana)
If you don't like TTDTE you'll probably hate this

And these ones are pretty good for a cover:

Bleed From Within - People=Shit (Slipknot)
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAWxBo1qfrg[/media]
Periphery - One (Metallica)
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITOmFs8K4tc[/media]
The Dillinger Escape plan - Fight The Power (Public Enemy)

I also like some of the Cash covers, Rusty Cage (Soundgarden), Hurt (NiN)...

[Caltoa]

I love how SRV does his covers. It also helps considering he was a huge Hendrix fan.
