How bout this combo?



and

I've been really digging the Joe South songbook. The first song is the original. Joe South wrote it for Billy Joe Royal, so really it could count as a cover too. You probably know some of his other songs. I have included them below. They are covers in that they are not recorded by the songwriter, but they are the "original" recordings.

The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face

Original:
Peggy Seeger, 1957



Cover:
The Flaming Lips and Amanda Palmer



Turns out that cover has a pretty controversial history though.

can you give the coles notes version? im still new to that google thingy

For that one? Originally it was going to be a cover with Erykah Badu, with a graphic video involving nudity and bathing in blood. The Flaming Lips released it without her approval. Had to remove it, and got Amanda Palmer in instead.

At least, that's how I think the story went. Just going from memory.

approx. 4 bazillionX better than the original because as we all know, Metallica sucks unshorn llama sack, post "...and justice"...

Oh....RL.....you make me sad......

On a positive note, however, there are about 20 covers I've seen of this and other Metallica songs that are excellent.....but not better than original....as Metallica ROCKS......

Pat Boone: Enter Sandman


One of the funniest covers I've ever heard. Gotta love a cover that cleverly rips apart Metallica fan boys and punctures the singer's image at the same time.

Love it...it's a tribute!

You guys seen these guys? They are amazing....do all kinds of covers....



And here's one for you Metallica haters

I'm pretty unclear which version is better. Both have amazing videos.

Not exactly a cover, but still fun:

Lesson One- A-ha




Take on me- A-ha

much better than the original...

Content blocked....?

well, that's weird. trump, maybe?

Works ok for me. Must be country specific.

I can imagine a world where YouTube lets you block videos based on zip code. Then you could really have targeted disinformation campaigns.

Happens all the time. Stuff gets blocked by region. I can't always watch clips from Comedy Central in the UK until someone uploads them to a different account. Is this really something you've never come across?

Not according to zip code which would narrow down which neighborhood you live in.

Fair enough.

All right...liked this thread ;o)

So anyone seen this dude? Discovered him and spent an hour watching his shit....outstanding!! Dudes really talented, love his voice, a great performer and his wife is talented and smokin too

Awesome stuff, though after watching Metalocalyspe, guys who think that metal means singing via taking sandpaper to their throat make me laugh a bit, especially when there's obvious talent behind the lead.

why?

The lead singer in Metalpcalypse talks LiKe ThAt all the time:



BRUTAL

Original: Judy Garland: Wizard of Oz, (1939)



Cover: Eva Cassidy: Songbird, 1996 recording (I think)

Nice, but I have a special place in my heart for Big Iz (Israel Kamakawiwoʻole), the poor bastard....one concert I wish I could have seen...I own all his albums. Have met 2 people in Kauai that knew him.....such a sad story and such a wonderful human being

His funeral in the end of the video is amazing....he was universally loved....
