The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Type O Negative seem to do a great job of all the cover sthey do...like Summer Breeze, Hit Me baby One More Time :p I mean...they made me like a Britney song...they have got to be good.

Angra- Wuthering Heights is good as well

I pulled up an mp3 with Avril Lavigne trying to cover chop Suey with her band...what the hell was she thinking??? She didn't even know half the flippin words to the verse...she just kept saying 'Why'd you leave the keys upon the table' and filled in the rest with a cpuple words and the occasional 'nahnahnahnahnahnahnah'...
I wanted to puke

The worst ive heard to date has to be The Beautiful South covering Dont Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult Club! Terrible!

best cover song in my eyes is manson such as sweet dreams and personal jesus the cover songs hes done have been better than the originals and another one is h.i.m dont fear the reaper and since im from canada kitty run like hell but thats my opinion

morbidly yours the morbid1

I know Bowling For Soup covered "Hit Me Baby One More Time" by Britney, and that was a great cover. But Type O Negative? Dude, I gotta find that! To hear Peter Steele cover Britney... cool.

I love covers and remixes and get my hands on as many as possible.

Yellowcard did an awesome cover of Michelle Branch's "Everywhere".

A great CD collection of goth covers was "Gothic Vampires From Hell & Covered in Goth". I highly recommend it.

Lastly, I enjoyed Jennifer Saunders' cover of "Holding Out for a Hero" on the Shrek 2 Soundtrack. If you saw the movie, this is the song the Fairy Godmother sings near the end. It was hilarious to see it, but the song itself is amazing.

Shinedown did an awesome cover for Lynyrd Skynryd's Simple Man

I like tainted love done by manson for best, worst is Rammstein doing barbie girl-really bad!

I agree with velvet. Excellent cover. Also, GnR did a cover of Live and Let Die that was damn good.

Worst cover: anything William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy covered.

LOL I have to agree with Jason. I don't know what either of them are thinking, trying to sing! Makes the dogs down the street howl. How about Marilyn Manson doing "Suicide Is Painless?" (Mash theme), very odd

I am totally hooked on Satyricon's remake of Motorheads "Orgasmatron".... aewsome....

dislikes...I'd have to say I truly hate any commerical tv/radio where they have someone else doing any one else's song... LOL

Jason...I'm with ya there too...I think I'd rather cut my ears off LOL

Then again, Nimoy DID do "Bilbo Baggins." heheheh If you've ever heard that you'll wet yourself laughing. Wierd Al can't touch Nimoy on that one.

Some how I think I am very gratfull that I missed that one LOL

Vampy one... I agree with you there, although Im not usually a big fan of covers. I love The Wildhearts cover of the theme song from Cheers!

anarchy in the u.k...covered by motley crue..sweet child o mine covered by sheryll crow..the wall covered by korn..

Metallica's One, also covered by Korn...

Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus, covered by M.M. and also Johnny Cash...

The Cure's Love Song, covered by 311.

The Type O Britney cover that's been floating around the net is very fake.

Overall, my favorite cover would probably be my mom's band covering Free Bird.
Double bass (my mom), and the guitar player is Billy Ray Cyrus' brother, who inherited all the talent in the family.

As for something anyone else here might have heard.... I'm rather fond of Manson's cover of Five to One by The Doors.

Currently I'd have to say my least favorite cover is AFI attempting to cover NIN's Head Like a Hole.

I'd really like to know what in the hell they were thinking trying to do anything outside of this new-age pop-"punk" genre that is nothing more then reincarnations of BSB and Nsync that have decided that punk and "goth" is cool and different, and they want to be different just like everyone else. Then all their friends want to be different just like them. And then they to and try to cover a song with some actual depth to it. Not to mention it just sounds whiney. Granted, Pretty Hate Machine was far from NIN's best album, but it's still far more intricate then all this mass-produced pop bullshit that passes off as music. Sorry.

Technically one of the best cover version I've heard so far is from Lacrimosa, The phantom of the opera.. marvellous considering how difficult it is to capture its atmosphere.. the worst cover so far? nightwish's cover of the phantom of the opera BLEHHH!!!

Imagine (John Lennon), luv A Perfect Circle's version
And Sweet Dreams, Manson did a great work

And worst... Don't know..

I think the best cover song or one of them has got to be Manson's "Tainted Love" there are some killer extraversions such as the technotronics in the guitars

Rock on

i can't fucking believe 311 did "love song" from The Cure. They butchered it. I can't listen to it, it's horrible.

American Pie by Madonna really suck
Blue Monday by Orgy really good

OH! velvetwhisper i heard that cover song by shinedown i loved it!

My Fav cover... Metallica's Whiskey In A Jar (Thin Lizzy). It kicked ass!

The cover I will always hate.... Britney Spears's I Love Rock n' Roll (Joan Jett and the Blackhearts). She didn't understand the tune.

I agree with BloodThirst.. Madonnas American Pie sucked!

best.. Im not sure.. I did like Mansons cover of Sweet Dreams..

Korn~The Wall

one of the best covers that i've hear in the past year would be cyber axis's "can't get you out of my mind" *wrong in so many ways.*

The best Type O's Cinnamon Girl

The worst not real sure

Best- Korn - The Wall
Manson - Sweet Dreams
Manson - Personal Jesus
Worst- 311- Love song

Actually Type O Negative's cover of "Cinammon Girl" was fucking badass. I liked Orgy's "Blue Monday". And I recently head "Down in the Park" covered by Manson.

I still say 311's "Love Song" sucked!

best was king diamonds cover of master of puppets by metallica
also hims cover of wicked game was good
worse was sheryl crows cover of sweet child o' mine by guns and roses

damn I forgot aces high the cover by arch enemy of iron maidens original
another bad one was when the rapper snoop dog did a cover of riders of the storm by the doors litterally he butcherd the song

some of my faverites would be, H.I.M.s cover of wiked game, GOBs cover of paint it black, i dont care to mention the ones i hated, ...honestly i dont remember them

type-o, 'children of the grave'

RATM, 'the ghost of Tom Joad'

other than these, I dont really agree with covers.

and I am afraid that I may get heckled for this, but....I dont like Mr Mansons covers....not at all...I think he should stick to creating his own style and words, rather than jumping on what seems to be a growing bandwagon of lifeless and oft pointless attempts to recreate a masterpiece...

but then, originality is a rare commodity these days.

Best cover song....

not trying to be a copy cat here but

Manson's Sweet Dreams kicks ass


Worst cover song...

Avril Lavigne covering Nirvana

BEST cover
MM's come white by Apoptyagma Beserk
check it out

ok...I agree..I was wrong...it is a good cover..

personally i dont like mansons songs

I meant that apoptygma beserk's nice
Skinny puppy's tainted love was good and so was twist of my sobriety by dreadful shadows

sweet dreams is a good cover...

sweet dreams is the only song which doesnt bother me

still, annie lennox looks better than he in the vidz

....in my opinion...

I remembered worst!
Metallica 'Die Die My Darling', they ruined Misfits song

And 'White Wedding' Billy Idol's, Murderdolls did a nice cover

yeah that wasnt so bad

exactly ;)

OMG!!! the very worst EVER!!! is Gene Simmons...(from KISS)..he covered The Prodigy's Firestarter....I nearly died when I saw the video....almost pee'd laughing....LOL

Simply awful...

well my fave covers
1.Smooth criminal-by micheal covered by alien ant farm
2. Fiath- george micheals coverd by LImP Bizkit
2. Personal jesus- eh u all know that one hehe
4. sweet dreams- another good cover by manson
5. simple man
and the last one will make you guys want to shoot me but yeah
HEAVEN-dj sammys candle light version originally sang by rod stewart heheh

well thats my top 6 covers

Avril Lavigne covering Metallica ... what's worse is that teh guys actually enjoyed her slaughtering their song at an awards show ... now that's just not right ....

A Perfect Circle-Imagine ....... the first time I heard this I was like WTF ... but after hearing it a few more times it actually started to grow on me

I kinda like Apoptygma Berzerk remake of Fade To Black

But Rob Zombies remake of the Commadores - Brick House was not that great

worse cover
its a sin by to die for
Inmy opinion their vocalist needs a new voice

Just in defense of the music I love and hate at the same time

Ladylovecat
Man who sold the world wasn't the greatest cover Nirvana ever did but when you see it on MTV Unplugged and you realize kurt can never fuck a song up again...it's kinda sad.

best cover has to be marilyn manson singing personal jesus. the worst has to be Under Pressure, My Chemical Romance and The Used covered that one. sorry, butthe original with David Bowie and Freddy Mercury form Queen was so much better.

Ok, here's what is probably my favorite cover tune:

Red Hot Chili Peppers (who are all still alive, today!) covering Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground."

"Hallowed Be Thy Name" by Iron Maiden remade by Cradle Of Filth


"Halloween" by Misfits remade by A.F.I.


"Happy Together " by The Turtles remade by A New Found Glory


"Head Like Hole" by Nine Inch Nails remade by AFI, Pig and Devo


"Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar remade by No Doubt


"Here Comes The Rain Again" by Eurythmics remade by The Cruxshadows--->Great one

"Hungry Like The Wolf" by Duran Duran remade by Hole


"Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails remade by Johnny Cash


"Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by Rod Stewart remade by Revolting Cocks, Hoobastank and N-Trance


"Dangerous Type" by The Cars remade by Letters to Cleo---> on "The Craft" soundtrack

"No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin remade by Tool


"Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica remade by Apoptygma Berzerk---> Great


"Shock The Monkey" by Peter Gabriel remade by Coal Chamber


I am undecided on most of these- tell me what you all think....

Jason
I must agree with you on that one
Awesome cover

Another awesome cover

Johnny Cash covered 'Hurt' by NIN

Another

Landslide originally by Stevie Nicks
covered by The Smashing Pumpkins
as well as the dixie chicks--they did okay but pumpkins did it better

Any cover by Hendrix is golden........as for worst covers I've gotta go we've those dire covers by all these Pop Star type people.........they're horrible and they taint the original.

My favourite cover song would be KMFDM's Material girl and they also covered Boots... Kmfdm covers songs really well

Manson - Sweet Dreams is just the best.he ded it even better then original.

Yes, I agree with you LoveCat, anyone who covers The Cure is usualy garbage, but I kinda liked Jack off Jill's version of Love Song.. It's nothing special, but anyway..
And Maynard covered Love Song too:
'Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm hopeless..
..I will always love you, there's no choice...'

i agree with yendor,classical music is completed beyond my mind

I'm not much of a fan of covers, but there are a couple of people in particular who should NEVER be covered:

The Beatles/John Lennon (anyone who covers Imagine has a special place in Hell reserved for them)

David Bowie (hello kurt cobain, bahaus??? you are sooooooo NOT the Bowie!)

I like a lot of Type O covers (summer breeze especially), Johnny Cash doing Hurt (NIN) is incredible and Manson's Tainted Love is pretty good.

And while we're talking about this-I think I may blow up a car company if I hear Dust in the Wind on a commercial one more time.

Hmm... the worst, in my opinion, was 311 covering "Lovesong" by The Cure. They completely murdered it. As for the best... I can't think of one right now.

i think one of the better covers i'v heard would be sixfeet under doing hells bells

as for the worst i would have to say is megadeth's cover of anarchy in the uk the sex pistol's done it best

the link in my post suxx don't know how it got there in first place porn suxx

the best in my opinion is marylin manson` s sweet dreams

WORST COVER EVER!!!!!!!
KORN DOING ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL ORIGINALLY BY
PINK FLOYD

I think all the good ones have akready been mentioned. ^_^

Marilyn Manson did a great job covering The Doors "Five To One":

Lollipop Lust Kill did a great job covering DM's "Personal Jesus":

marilyn manson

type o neg. did a cover of Neil Young's cinniman girl that was cool

Covers I don't like:
"Imagine" John Lennon remade Perfect Circle
"You shook me all night long" AC/DC remade by Celine Dion

One I'm in between about:
"Shout" Tears for Fears remade by Disturbed

Covers I like:
"Live and Let Die" Paul McCartney remade by GNR
"Come Together" Beatles remade by Aerosmith
"Simple Man" Lynard Skynard remade by Shinedown
"Give A Little Bit" Supertramp remade by Goo Goo Dolls

Tainted Love redone by Manson is a favorite of mine.

I also go for the Orgasmatron cover by Satyricon!!! And when they played it live... oh my god... awesome!!! (although the Motörhead version rules as well!)
Also the Turbonegro covers H.I.M. and Satyricon did are great!
Worst.... hmmm... I think Sleepless of Anathema done By Cradle of Filth and Black Metal by Venom done by Cradle of Filth... Dani just doesn't have the voice for thos songs...

Morbid Dleight- I agree with you on that Marilyn Manson cover, and I must have been one of the hardest to impress, considering that my mum has had me listening to the Eurythmics version since I was conceived. :-P

I think the worst covers I have heard was when an old british pop band called Five (bet you cant guess how many members there where) covered Queen's "We Will Rock You" and of course Atomic Kitten ripping off the bangles... not only is british mainstream pop unimaginative, but its destructive too.
