Rayzer32 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 The cover that Nonpoint does of Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight" has to be listed IMO. They do a great heavy version without butchering the song. Of course I am more into the heavier style remakes of any song anyways. If you haven't heard it give it a listen, you might like it. Another good one is Type O' Negative's remake of Seals and Crofts "Summer Breeze". Hoping I will find some I haven't heard before from all the vast musical knowledge on TBD.

That's just me, though. Also, most covers of George Harrison songs seem to be better than the originals. Which isn't a dig on the guy, he was a great composer and a terribly under rated guitarist, but most of the covers I've heard of his songs seem to blow the originals away.

Greybeard Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 The Yardbirds remake of Smokestack Lightning By Howlin Wolf ( Chester Burnett) The Yardbirds remake of Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters The Yardbirds - The BBC Sessions = True Greatness 198292[/snapback] Wow another Yardbirds fan. They are few and far between. I thought for sure someone would say Aerosmith's remake of "Train Kept Arolllin," which I personally didn't think was anyway near what the Yardbirds did. I believe the BBC is a compilation, isn't it? There are a few cuts from my favorite Yardbirds album "Rave Up", of which Smokestack LIghtning is one. BTW, if you haven't heard it, get a listen to Birdland. Basically it is a remake of their some of the old Yardbird stuff with guest guitarists. There are also a couple of new songs which are very good. Makes you really wish they were originally recorded with a little bit of fidelity. The other odd thing about the album is some guy from Queen is the steady lead singer, lead guitarist ( I forgot his name) and he does one amazing job in reproducing the Keith Relf sound. You really have to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
