Popular Post MoeFOH Posted March 20 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 20 Been really digging ol' Warren (is that the least marketable name for a musician? 🤔) Zevon of late... Werewolves just such a great song, but so many others, too, of course... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford2112 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Send Lawyers Guns and Money! I read his memoir. What a crazy story. He stepped on some toes along the way. In the end he cut an album on his deathbed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MoeFOH Posted March 21 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 21 Best cover song ever? I can't think of another song where the artist took it somewhere else and improved upon the original so much. Regardless of that conversation, killer Hendrix. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of that conversation, killer Hendrix. it was pretty good to begin with, especially the budokan version. but the Hendrix version was not bad. not sure if it counts - can you do a cover of your own song? - but for me, springsteen's live version from Dublin of Blinded by the Light was the best cover version of any song, even if it was his song. so different that for me, it counts. springsteen's version of jimmy cliff's Trapped is another. cliff is just too bright and breezy for me. bruce has transformed it into a song of such depth and so different. as for the rest, huge fan of Zevon. had tickets for him for a concert on the coast which he tragically missed because he passed on. love diamonds and rust. had not realised anyone but baez had done it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think of the best cover song ever, I also think of Nirvana's 'The Man Who Sold The World', maybe their best performance. I really like 'One' by Johnny Cash too, far more than the original tbh... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Along the Watchtower is indeed the best cover version of a song recorded. No-one even knows Bob Dylan's original version anymore (except die-hard Dylan fans). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I learnt it here and until then i thought 'The Man Who Sold The World' had no contender tbh 🤣🤣😂 Both are genius' covers to me 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoeFOH Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Little bit of Chili Peppers wiith Slow Cheetah... I'm not the biggest fan, by any stretch, but occasionally I fixate on something of theirs... and I can't get this song out of my head at the moment. Very hypnotic. Great guitar track, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
