Classic Rock covers

Doctor DooM

Thought it might be an interesting idea to have a thread full of modern interpretations of classic rock songs. I think it's always good hearing new spins on good ideas- long as there's actually a new spin on them...

Immediately jumping to mind:

(Pre Metallica Rob Trujillo, good schtuff there)

Certainly different.

Klondike1985

Penn

'Country Rock' version of Gimme Shelter by Rolling Stones (played in season 2 finale of Sons of Anarchy)

Pearl Jam's cover of Reign Over me

I presume there's a permaban for whoever post's Metallica's butchery of Whiskey in the Jar?

I just navigated here through the front page of boards.

Temporarily we're on the map.

The above song actually sends chills.

Not sure if you'd class him as classic rock but still this is a good cover.

I love this

EchoO

Not exactly modern - Them's version of Dylan's It's all over now baby blue.

Zaph

Was listening to this cover in the car earlier and thought it would be a good idea for a thread, but I see I've been beaten to it.

Zaph

A selection of Neil Young covers by Radiohead

There is also a cover of Down By The River, but I can't find a link with decent audio.

wouldn't call the carpenters rock, but definitely a different spin on it...

Does anyone else find that loading the tube of you takes wayyyy longer (almost "Toad" drum solo length) than used to be the case?

Morag

Yes, and it's annoying.

Feelgood

Hmmm is it still considered a cover if the lead guitarist of the original band is playing?. Either way this is awesome!. Jimmy page and the Black Crowes, if you haven't got the album I highly recommend it.

Another gem is Bodycount's and Ice T's version of Hey Joe. They did a savage job of it.

les paul 1967

joe bonnamassa doing zz tops just got paid

I just heard this for the first time because it's front paged on reddit.

I think it's a pretty awesome cover.

The bad guys from power rangers cover Carry on my wayward son.

This is actually much better than I thought it would be. However I have had limited exposure to Gwar.

Posted this somewhere else on boards recently but for me this has to be one of the best covers ever

Great cover of Thin Lizzys Emerald by Dragonlord. I might even prefer it to Thin Lizzys version :eek:

Mike Litoris

Queen covers in general are muck but I think this is epic

dr.bollocko

That's actually pretty cool.... Very few Queen covers actually hold a candle to the original.

I always struggle to think of one except for the above. They didn't try to sound like Queen but they really nailed the energy.

I'm not convinced of the actual cover but the video certainly helps.
