Title: Original vs. cover
Post by: Rusco on December 11, 2015, 07:00:51 PM: Okay,

Please post links here to an original song and then to a cover about it.
So we'd discuss which is better; the original or a new cover. Did they maybe bring something new feeling on it?

I'll start with The Antisect and their song called Brighter Than Thousand Suns.
Then goes a cover by the Raw Noise.

Original (https://www.google.fi/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=33&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjfnMGtytTJAhWmqnIKHVSFBao4HhC3AggeMAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DOl4bnjfXn2Y&usg=AFQjCNGcAkkJCj80G7onBVmxUxsaURxB_A)
Cover (https://youtu.be/yd2I_7UTico)

Edit: fixed

Wonderful Christmastime, original by Sir Macca of Beatleland, nice enough Christmas party tune if you're having that sort of a time... but the Tom Mcrae cover strips it right down to something truly melancholy and, IMO, reflects the fact that Christmas can also be a sad time for many people who don't have fun lives...

Original (if you really need to hear it...)

The cover...

An example of how you can make a crappy song sound great... I'll be back with others...

Whoa, I see what you mean. There really are some great examples who've done it a way better. The original you put is...eh.. real shite I admit. When I clicked on it I instantly realised what song it is and stopped it right there ;). But now I listen to the cover at a same time writing this with much more patience. Good I'd say. :)

Me and my wife are somewhat into christmas. Not religious but spending nice time with generic and so on.

Post by: Rusco on December 11, 2015, 09:26:02 PM: An Bowie original (https://www.google.fi/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwi_0vaP7NTJAhUD8HIKHbZmC28Q3ywIIjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DzLnPd7lzT4g&usg=AFQjCNFera-lcYcjfQ1FqmhltnDe587chA)

And then the Blitz cover (https://www.google.fi/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiJ7bPO7NTJAhWF33IKHTRKCAEQtwIIITAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1C4Lx-WF5Tw&usg=AFQjCNG9Iw1zITP4f0vymUxdu5DIMHKbZw)

I think the original is better though the latter is a way more rocky. I'll go for Bowie. 8)

Poison Idea

https://youtu.be/K2QsquE6W_U

Although I have only Poison Idea's version on a vinyl/cd I think GISM is hard to beat in here. There's no one like them. Very freaky sounding and authentic HC from early start of 80's in Nippon.

Post by: Master Ray on December 11, 2015, 10:47:34 PM: Or perhaps you can choose between David Bowie...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSH--SJKVQQ

... or Lulu?

...pause...

I think we all know the answer to this one...

Post by: Rusco on December 15, 2015, 03:55:14 AM: Good morning.

Let's start a brand new day with a Tony Christie's song In The Avenues and Alleyways (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jMOGn4e8zqg). It was year 1973.

And then there was a version brought us by the G.B.H. (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6jdMt5tZ0_E) (in 1986).

Title: Bruce Cockburn vs. Barenaked Ladies...
Post by: 8 on January 10, 2018, 02:19:21 AM: Immensely adore both versions. Very different from one another. In terms of video, I'm partial to the second. Both, Canadian artists.

original song: "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" by Bruce Cockburn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IX4gWkFqvU)

as covered by: Barenaked Ladies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_oOc3Zj0KU)
