Okay I have to say this one; Muse's cover of Feeling Good, originally by Nina Simone, I think.

Lostprophet's cover of Cry Me A River originally by JT is pretty awesome too.

They have played "Wish" by Nine Inch Nails and like Firehawk said they played it ten times better. I don't like the original... If you wanna hear the LP version YouTube it, they played it in Rock Am Ring 2004... ;) :D

i like Anberlins cover of Love Song better than the Cures original Love Song

yer,LP nailed Wish, awesome live track, mind you alot of bands play cover tracks now a days, even if theyre only for a minute or two, they like to play songs of their own stablemates or old school songs that influenced them

I think the cover doesn't reach the original at all...

but that's the case for most cover songs I guess

I agree with you, dear... this cover is AMAZING!! and the crowd... OHH, I'd love to be there, although it was for only a pair of minutes :'( ... I'd be nearly mad,(even me who I feel to much the music in all their senses!!) jumping and dancing with the pace of the song!!

talking about Metallica... you know (well, I think so) that there is a another new version of "Nothing Else Matters" (I've said " another new" 'cosI think this song is one of the compositions with lots of versions from different bands... have you heard Apocalyptica's version!! lovely!!) and the last version is this one which was made it by Lucie Silvas.... what do you think of this? I've had a chat with some friends and they think that is terrible; an offense or something like this against Metallica... well, from my point of view, I think they've exaggerated a little bit :eek: ... I think Lucie Silvas's version isnt too bad.. you know, a light version, but nice one.
I heard the Silvas version once...oh jesus christ. it just sucked the life out of the original one...

I mean sure change things up a bit when you cover, but to me it's like trying to play Metallica's One with just chords...

I knew it..I guess people in this forums only know nothing else matters, enter sandman, unforgiven, fuel etc...by metallica. Nothing else matters in my opinion sucks alot. The most boring song from a thrash metal band. Try to listen them from 83-88 era. Apocalyptica version also sucked ***. i mean everybody who is tryin to play metallica usualy blows at trying...except few ones:

Pantera - No remorse (live 1988)

Machine Head - Battery (2006)

Fightstar - Leper Messiah (2006)

In flames - Eye of the beholder (1995)

these are really good covers of metallica songs

Nothing Else Matters is ,imo, an example of versatility. I hardly consider it boring. Obviously it isn't in the stereotypical fashion of a Thrash Metal Bands or anything Pre-black album. But it's a nice song. Kind of like how Linkin Park released a not so nu-metal album, even though they are considered nu-metal.

There's this guy who released a few Linkin Park cover's on youtube, he has a weird pronunciation of words which can be annoying at times, but he sings the songs very well.

And that non thrash versatility ruined metallica.. and they lost reputation so rapidly, and they become synonim for doing everything for money. You don't want LP to become that too, do you?

they had alright non thrash versatility until the black album.

nothing else matters was actually not one of the attempts to impress the mainstream audience, it was a personal song of James' that the rest of the band apparently really wanted on the album. I understand that you don't like it though.

but the rest of it is just a simplified version of what they were before that, intended to make money...

but yeah I agree, first 5-6 years were the best

stuff like For whom the bell tolls, Call of ktulu, Master, Battery, etc

Why does everyone always think that because a band changes up their sound a little that they are automatically doing it for the money? Lol it kind of reminds me of some kids who like get ****** at their favorite band when they get some fame. And they stop liking them because they "sold out," even though all it is, is a few more fans. They lost their reputation after the Black Album (which mind you was produced from the same guy who produced for like that Jon Bon Jovi guy lol.) They lost it around the reload garage inc and st anger era. And that was mainly because of under production. And as for the "fans" who stopped liking Metallica because of Black Album, well that's because they turn a deaf ear to anything different. Black Album was one of the most well received albums in the US it sold like what? 14 mill, which for a Thrash Band in the nineties(in America) was pretty good. I mean I don't blaming them for wanting to expand their musical vocabulary. They kept their music heavy, but showed that wasn't all they can do. It's considered their best album ever. I'm sure if you were (or if you are) in a band if you do the same 5 or 6 albums with the same sound it gets old. You want to expand and see what else you can do as a band and still maintain success. Besides Fade to Black was pretty soft and that was on RtL which was like what 2 albums before Black? And 7 years before.

well, you know, after all, before or later most of the biggest bands as Metallica or singers as, I dont know, Ozzy Osbourne, for example, become synonims, as you've said it, of something.. you know, people say about Metallica they did a treat with the Devil to get success and, for example, there is a urban legend (that's A LEYEND) that tells Marylin Manson take out some bones of his thoracic box, or well, some ribs 'cos he'll be more flexible to do by himself some things.... well, you know it:eek: :D ... besides, he or she, 'cos people say too that he did another treat with the devil (as I can see the devil is busy doing treats with everyone here) to be his girlfriend (you know, Marylin Manson is the devil's girlfriend)

Anyway, talking about the bones's case, he didnt say anything about it (and I'm sure that as he is, he'vent said it 'cos he is shy :D ) at the end, it's just urban legends!!:thumbsup:
