Best Remakes

[Farley]

I agree, the White stripes are good, but Meg White needs drum lessons.

Boom, chick, Boom, chick, Boom, chick. Thats as technical as it gets with her.

If you have comcast On Demand, there is a White Stripes concert that is pretty good on the Concerts on Demand Channel. They play "Jolene".

[Coach Dog]

I'll have to check out Chili Peppers version. Thanks.

Jacks a guitar god and Megs drumming suits him very well, making them a great 2 piece band. If you ever get the chance- go see them live- very, very good band live. I wish I had Comcast- I am stuck in a little town with a contracted cable company from Terrill, Iowa.

Another good Chili Peppers remake is "Higher Ground."

Good one- FNM was an excellent band.

Princes Darling Nikki by the Foo Fighters was good

[zamboni]

OOOOH yeah- Nirvanas MTV Unplugged CD was full of pretty decent remakes- Lake Of Fire by the Meat Puppets was a really good one

I know I am forgetting a bunch of good ones, everday I think or hear one- then I forget. Uncle Krackers "Drift Away" was good

Faces (Rod Stewart), Memphis Tennessee (I think), orig. Chuck Berry.

Chuck Berry is thing "king" when it comes to covers!

Many groups covered him, from the Rolling Stones to Van Hallin and many more.

Musta been one of the Cherone songs noone has ever heard

[channelfats]

Any song off Mike Ness- Under the Influences- album

[Jarrod32]

The Who did a good live cover of "Summertime Blues" that I thought was great, until I heard the Rush cover of the same song...that was even better...

Buddy Guy's cover of "Mustang Sally" is good...

Also, a bit more obscure, a group called the Hindu Love Gods (made up of Warren Zevon and REM) did a great version of Prince's "Raspberry Beret".

And even more obscure, Tinsley Ellis did a cover of the song "Just Dropped In" that is very good.

Hank III's cover of Bruce Springsteen 'Atlantic City'

I think their album with Cherone was all original dump.

Has anyone ever heard of Richard Cheese. He does what he calls "lounge music" and has a band Richard Cheese and the Lounge Against the Machine. He does remakes of all kinds of songs like rock, metal, rap and puts a more softer and slower side to it. My favorite is his version of Down With the Sickness. Its too funny.

For real remakes my favorites are definately the Garage Inc. album by Metallica. Also Shinedown's version of Simple Man is good.

[zamboni]

Richard Cheese used to be on the Kansas City morning show Johnny Dare all the time. His stuff is really good- but I have to admit, I really like lounge/swing music.

johnny cash's version of rusty cage is awesome.

the best covers are the ones that make the originals sound strange an wrong. the one that best does this to me is janis singing me and bobby magee.

[Shack]

Sorry, I was way out of the bag on that one. They may have done a live deal during an early eighties tour, but I think I was crossing Roy Orbason (Pretty Woman) and Van Halin.

Sorry, my bad!

Sorry if I miss spelled any names in this post...

[D4 Army]

"Under my thumb" by Social Distortion (Rolling Stones)

"Get this party started" by Stretch Armstrong (pink)

[zamboni]

Mama Told Me Not To Come- the 3 Dog Night version was actally called better by its writer/original artist- Randy Newman

[lookincalifornia]

3 is a magic number by blind melon. awesome

there was some good stuff on that zepplin tribute album about 15 years ago. i have heard the cure cover the doors tune 'hello, i love you, won't you tell me your name'

i don't know the real title, not a big doors guy

[fisherjmb]

I like the Cowboy Junkies cover of Sweet Jane orginally done by The Velvet Underground.

[setterguy]

Pearl Jams has done many,

Tom Petty - I won't back down

The who - Teenage wasteland

Bruce Springsteen - once step forward two steps back

The Burne sisters - I am patriot
