Covering up in the cold winter.
Ok, I have heard a few awesome covers lately. Especially covers of NIN songs.
I managed to get a copy of "The Dillenger Escape Plan's" Plagarism EP
It features covers of artists such as: NIN, Massive Attack, Soundgarden and Justin Timberlake, All of them are so Rocking! Only thing that does not compare in the original is the Vocals on "Jesus Christ Pose" but bettering Chris Cornell is no easy task.
Dillinger also have an album with Mike Patton on Vocals where they do an absloute ball tearing cover of "Come to Daddy"
I found a copy of Manson covering Black Sabbaths, Iron Man but must have accidentally wiped it when i was cleaning up my Ipod. Its a Rockin! But recorded live and not great quality, I can't seem to find it again.
I would love to get my mits on a copy of the Kyuss cover of Sabbath's "Into the Void" this seems quite hard to find. I have only seen it once on a limited edition translucent purple vinyl.
So if u know of any great covers feel free to share them with us.
Covers people, Not Remixes please!
massive attack one is a bit pointless i think
same composition, worse sounding
I'll support that Dilinger album. Great work.
I still gotta say I'm loving Helmet's cover of Army of Me by Bjork, even if it is old.

Have i heard that? What is it on? I bet i have been listening to it for years and never jerried that it was a cover.
Nah, although you may have heard it. I only downloaded it a few years back. Its not on any album.
I reckon you'ld like it. And you would definitley find yourself surprised liking a bjork song.
I dont mind some of the new Bjork stuff, some of the parts where she is not singing are awesome!
Anyway i wanna hear it.
Cool, if you have a pc and not a mac I can bring most of my entire music collection over.
Well i have neither, I do have that disc that u gave Mustard somewhere, is it on that?
I can just bring my ipod over and take what i need.
Nah, I don't think it was on that disc. Maybe, but I don't think so.
And bringing your ipod over would be a bit hard as you would actually have to leave the house!! 
Did'nt see u at Petes BBQ.
U have a laptop dont you?
Yeah, I do. But the music's not on the laptop.
Did'nt see u at Petes BBQ.
You're gonna hold one event against me? You told me you weren't going either.....kinda like the last Messy party.
I don't wanna argue, I just want a social visit from the person who used to almost live at my house.
Back to covers........I've got Tool doing Kiss' "Calling Dr Love". Actually, it might be Maynard with RATM members.
I think its on that tool cover album, they also cover Kyuss, Tori Amos and a few others.
I have never seen it but seen mention of it online.
Isn't that Tool cover album a tribute album TO Tool? Unless there's another I don't know of.
I remember seeing track listing a few weeks ago, It was Tool covering stuff. Il try track it down again. I know they covered Kiss and did a cover of "demon cleaner" by Kyuss
Ooooh, that's a match made in heaven. I'll check if Dale's given it to me. He gave me TeXans.
Texans, or Texas?
Texans. It was Maynard's band before Tool.
Oh yeah u mentioned that to me the other week. I wouldnt mind checking it out.
I would have to say the best covers i know of are "Devo" covering Head like a hole by NIN and "Tool" covering No Quater by Led Zep.
Oh yeah, A Perfect Circle's album emotive which was all covers except for 'Passive' that they wrote with Trent Reznor.
Track list:
"Annihilation" (Crucifix) ? 2:13
"Imagine" (John Lennon) ? 4:48
"(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding" (Nick Lowe; Elvis Costello) ? 5:03
"What's Going On" (Marvin Gaye) ? 4:53
"Passive" (Tapeworm) ? 4:09
"Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie" (Black Flag) ? 2:18
"People Are People" (Depeche Mode) ? 3:43
"Freedom of Choice" (Devo) ? 2:59
"Let's Have a War" (Fear) ? 3:28
"Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums" ? 5:36
"When the Levee Breaks" (Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy; Led Zeppelin) ? 5:55
"Fiddle and the Drum" (Joni Mitchell) ? 3:06
Wha WHat! Have u got that? I have heard the cover of imagine, Its not as good as the George Bush version.
Yeah, of course I've got it. I'm a Tool fanboy remember.
I didn't think the Imagine cover was very good but after listening to the original again I came to the conclusion its not a very good song. Just poignant lyrics.
