The best (or the worst...) cover versions
Well...... let's talk about covers...... I think that one of the many ways to judge the skills of a band is to see the way they handle the songs of other bands...... the way a band covers a song tells us a lot of its personality...... they can take the song and remake it as a copy-and-paste of the original version without changing anything, or they can turn it upside-down-inside-out transforming it as their style and their taste...... sometimes with a good result, sometimes with a really bad result...... for example......
For me, this is a good cover
CHILDREN OF BODOM - oops i did it again - originally from Britney Spears
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGtXlBbWeB4
a cover version can be made as a tribute to the original artist, but also only for fun...... maybe some true-defender here can have something to say about Britney Spears...... I say that, first, she is surely a good chick  and as pop singer has pulled out some good tunes...... anyway...... I like the original version, and I really like the CHILDREN version, very funny with the screams of Alexi on those silly lyrics
On the other side, a cover that I don't really like
SUIDAKRA - marooned - originally from RUNNING WILD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvPDS17QgpQ
maybe it's because this is one of my favourite RUNNING WILD songs, but the sensation is that here SUIDAKRA wanted to put in too much of all their styles (screams, pipes, crunching guitars, double pedal bass drums) making out something that, for me, is only confusion...... the original, from the bombastic initial riff to the end, is an injection of adrenaline and melody up the ass, but here, I'm sorry, the SUIDAKRA cover is a f - - king mess......

RE: The best (or the worst...) cover versions
Or... this one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuDx6_PLIVk
Covered by Slayer which became this...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXsOJsXpDcE
Damn good cover by a damn good band!
Seen Slayer 2 times and beaten up some ppl in the pit.
God i loved the pit when i was younger...
(06-13-2015, 10:02 PM)tears_of_fire Писал(а): DISCHARGE what a classic 
ok...... then, from the same album, a cover that I relly like
METALLICA - blitzkrieg - originally from BLITZKRIEG
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouMjv8ntVds
a song that in his semplicity has all the primal seeds of what later will be the first METALLICA masterpieces......

Yesssss good old times for Metallica.
Unfortunately i saw them in 2004 when they already had kicked out the best bassplayer in the world...

RE: The best (or the worst...) cover versions
and now...... let's talk about VAN CANTO...... surely this band has its original personality, with their vocal "DON DIGHI-DON DIGHI-DON DIGHI-DON"  and all along their discography the've made a lot of covers, more or less good than the original versions, but always made new by their "a capella" interpretation...... so, from this long list, it's obvious and natural for me to chose this one
VAN CANTO - the final countdown - originally from EUROPE
because, as we've already said, I'm an ancient one, an old metal-head, in the 80s I was a kid and this is a great classic from those years......
