Petetrucker07 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Not a cover. Here's Willie Nelson, the writer of Crazy performing the song before Patsy Cline, who's version was a hit, and a cover.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OnYEQbEHNZE Edited February 18, 2015 by Petetrucker07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarana-X Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 The Dickies were a California band well known for being too fast and loud, and kind of proud of it. The were the masters of the overkill cover. Here they are making Paranoid even moe frantic than Sabbath! And here is their take on Knights in White Satin Wildest of all is their high speed thrash punk pop version of Sound of Silence. No live video to this one, but you can imagine... The Dickies used to be known as "The World's Highest Paid Cover Band", but that was before Metallica really took off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) I saw 20th Flight Rockers performing live a bit over a week ago and I took a couple of videos too. Here they are covering Jerry Lee Lewis' High School Confidential. An excellent band & An excellent cover!!!

Shelby 427 1965 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I very much love these two covers by Sophie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q5UWPMncNE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6MdiDvLeSw She can make any song better.

DaveM Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I was in the Netherlands for a Month in 1977, and I remember the original version of Yes Sir I Can Boogie. I had the 45, (Brought back from Europe at age 12) and when we were rehearsing at my house a couple of years ago, my drummer was digging through decades worth of my old junk and found a stack of 45s in the piano bench. We played a few of them during a break ,and that one struck a chord with our band. We had two women in the band doing vocals, so it was only natural that we sounded it out and jammed it a few times. We played it once at a gig and got absolutely no response. I guess nobody in the U.S. had ever heard the song before, and certainly nobody in Free Soil Michigan. It was a bit out of character for us, as we were more of a classic rock band. We never played it again, but it was always a bit of a rolling joke for us. Whenever we botch something at a rehearsal or soundcheck, one of us will break the silence by singing a bar or two of the chorus quietly in the background. It had become our secret code word for "Crash and burn" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 BOC's "Godzilla" covered by Fu Manchu. http://youtu.be/NN-H63KJB6k Interesting, but way, WAY too slow. It almost put me to sleep. I had to go listen to the original to get my heart rate back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zandmann Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Well since I absolutely enjoy covers, I'll throw in a couple for you to decide. Triple Seven - Rebel Yell (Billy Idol cover)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERPXLPUx5VI And Gravel Spreaders - Number of the beast (Iron Maiden cover)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKwNqy4FgXA Enjoy?

Shelby 427 1965 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Here's one that's not Sophie for a change, as much as I'd love her to cover every song ever to make it perfect... Queens of the Stone Age - White Wedding. A totally different style from the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CeseRvBhKA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Snake! Tempo was a little slow and they tune down so it's kinda sludgy. How about a Misfits song covered by Solace. http://youtu.be/0Ld5bYP6zeM Here's one that's not Sophie for a change, as much as I'd love her to cover every song ever to make it perfect...
