Original vs. cover
« 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.

Superb idea for a thread, sir!

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.

An Bowie original

And then the Blitz cover

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

Poison Idea

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.

Good morning.

Let's start a brand new day with a Tony Christie's song In The Avenues and Alleyways. It was year 1973.

And then there was a version brought us by the G.B.H. (in 1986).
