Maybe the greatest cover song ever.
 

I went to Youtube looking for Nina Gordon's song Tonight And The Rest Of My Life


And I found this. It is her doing a cover of NWA's Straight Out of Compton.




Here is the song I was looking for btw. They don't have the original video, but this has the song. Very well crafted pop song if you ask me.

lol


that concept reminded me of this cover of Cannibal Corpse's classic hit song, Rancid Amputation :1orglaugh:thumbsup

I LOL'd.

Classic. :1orglaugh

No, this is the best cover.

That is great!!!!!!!

She's knockin' n1ggiz out the box daily!

Those were great,guys! :thumbsup

I have heard the song "Tonight and the Rest of My Life" before, but did not know who sang it.

Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup

Reminds me somewhat of Kate Bush:



My favorite cover song of all time is Patti Smith doing Bruce Springteen's "Because The Night":



The original as performed by the Boss:



ADG

Greatest cover song ever is...




Joni Mitchell's This Flight Tonight as done by Nazareth.

2nd greatest (but should be tied for 1st) is Streetheart's cover of the Stones' Under My Thumb




Original vid starts at the 2:22 mark.

This

This is the best cover song ever, Hayseed Dixie doing Motorhead's "Ace of Spades":

I'll see your Nina Gordon, and raise you a Dynamite Hack...

Alrighty then...

err, i'd vote for Sammy Hagar and his studio version of Janis Js "Piece Of My Heart" or
The Angels performing Steve Marriotts "Natural Born Woman" ... lol, but who not from OZ knows THE ANGELS aka ANGEL CITY nowadays?

Tori Amos covering SLAYER....

Ironic cover songs are so 1999.

Pure blasphemy :feels-hot

Must repent the thread :winkwink:



Ahhh - The balance of the Univers have been restored :winkwink:

Haha these are buddies of mine. I recorded a ton of Demo's in John the lead singers studio.

Their ac/dc stuff is much better. He is funny as fuck.

Check out Poop in a jar, its not them in the video someone did it on their own, but its them singing it on I think Bob and Tom show. :winkwink:

Hard to beat this version of Europe's classic:

I have always really dug this cover:

I actually had them play it at my wedding.

on a sidenote ... how great an original can sound

(has phyl lynott really been the ONLY black vocalist
in a hard rock band ever?!)

and how lousy it sounds commercially "overhauled"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=2ZDhnRo8YvQ

serious, metallica rocked when they were edgy and
young ... but today? commercial crap ... no more
real guitar works as on "kill 'em all" :( :( :(

:1orglaugh

I lasted to 1:25 :1orglaugh

What's with the stuttering keyboard? :1orglaugh

I made it to 1:40 by gritting my teeth and exercising my self control as best I could. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:helpme

oh, man . . .

That's awesome

Keep going... there's an awesome (not) drum fill just before the guitar solo, and the guitar solo itself reminds me of the keyboard player. :1orglaugh

Patti Smith singing "Because the Night" is awesome!!

They rock. I have all their covers on my MP3 player for when I mow the lawn

Awesome! Reminds me of this excellent cover

this was the track i thought of when i saw the op's posted video. the original and best.

I still feel this is the best cover ever-

lol, hilarious, this thread delivers! :)

Honroable Mention goes to Wesley Willis (god rest his soul) for Girls On Film. I can't find it on YouTube :(

Are you kidding me? I love Angel City, been a fan since the early 80's.







:D

Can you please tell me what the time is?

John (the lead singer) is a brilliant marketer. He did great getting a fluke kind of band to get so well known really. lol

Some great tunes up here :thumbsup

Infectious Grooves...covering David Bowie's "Fame" :thumbsup

"am i ever gonna see your face again?" - NO WAY GET FUCKED FUCK OFF :D
the angels is the most brilliant rock band i ever heard and yes, early 80s was
my start with them as well :) i have about everything they released in OZ, EU
and US market ... i think about 25 albums and some EPs ... heck, i even have
a 4 track EP by the brewster bros ... with THEIR AUTOGRAPHS! (a sweetie from
OZ send it to me after visiting a live show of the bros) lucky sob eh? ;) but
what really bugs the hell outta me is, i cannot find this damn print anywhere:

but with totally different songs; 'cept no secrets ... i wish i cud get my hands
on THAT OZ print :pimp HOWLING with REBACK FEVER :winkwink:
