favorite song cover or cover artist
« on: February 21, 2015, 10:37:44 AM »
so I am sure most of you are like I am with youtube, start looking at one thing and end up looking at something totally off the wall.  Well I end up watching covers to songs, some are really good others well not so good.  I found this guy a bit back, I think he is pretty damn good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBxkcdyX7Rs   I love the 3:30 point  :rock   so what are some of the better covers you have found and maybe the worst?

The other night an older cousin (second cousin actually) posted on Facebook a Nancy Sinatra song. I eventually listened to her version of Bang Bang (My baby shot me down) which is a cover to Cher's. But after that, I saw Lady Gaga had done a cover as well.

I think Lady gaga's was my favorite for vocals, but it was a little bit slower in pace than either Cher's or Nancy's.

Not a favorite, I suppose, but one I recently found on Youtube.

A very young looking Seth Avett (of the Avett Brothers) doing Billy Joel's 'Moving Out'.

Rare Earth covering a great Temptations tune. This is one of the few tunes that gets my foot tapping. Love the 20 minute version the best. I played the long version in a corporate band no too many years ago.

Some random dude coming up with a totally different way to get the "how soon is now" sound.

Love that rickenbacker 12 string when you crank up the gain.

Best Zeppelin covers are done by the ultimate Zeppelin cover band - Dred Zeppelin:

(Give the sound a chance it corrects after 30 seconds)

Slash's current band, saw them live 2 weeks before their most recent album, seeing em again in May. Loved when they did this song live opening for Aerosmith.
