I always liked Queen's version of "Big Spender" on their Xmas Eve show in 1975 (and, subsquently, at Wembley Satdium in 1986). I think it works REALLY well for Freddie.

Spock's Beard did a version of Yes' ''Southside of the Sky'' which was really good.

I think Metalica did justice to The Misfts' ''Last Caress''.

Oh, and Velvet Revolver doing
1) ANY GNR/STP song
2) Surrender by Cheap Trick

Worst?

Lets see...

ANY cover by a boy/girlband
SCISSOR SISTERS doing COMFORTABLY NUMB? WTF was that?

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Oh, and all of Dave's, of course.

Oh I found another really bad one KitcheN Sync doing More Than A Feeling by Boston.

How about Sheryl Crows Version of Sweet Child O' Mine, :Pukes:

VR cover of Surrender kicks major ass, They did very well with it. Scissor Sisters the reson why I hate is because of the vocalist completley ruined it, he sound like he sucked Helium and then sang the song.

Just puke at "Sweet Child O' Fuck Not This One Again" in general.

Oh, I forgot to say that Elton John and Axl Rose doing "Bohemian Rhapsody" at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert was fucking awful.

I don't know I thought The Axl half or it was ok. I mean I've heard Worse Queen covers.I mean have you heard that one sucky emo band My Crappy Chemical Romance cover Under pressure, Truly an Insult to both QUEEN AND DAVID BOWIE!

[Shaun Ponsonby]

No, I tend not to liten to many Queen covers, because there is only 1 Farook Bulsara (thats for anyone from Zanzinbar out there), but Paul Rodgers is OK.

I just hate SCOM because it is ALWAYS on MTV or whatever, and I'm thinking, play one of their few good songs. Like, Mr Brownstone or Its So Easy, or You're Crazy or Used To Love Her.

Mott The Hoople Covering Velvet Undergrounds Sweet Jane is Veery good.!

Manson's Version sucks ass, If you want to here a good cover of a 70's Rock song done by a Modern Metal band Cat Scratch Fever By Pantera, God they kicked ass on that song.

Yup, They stayed very close to the orignal. I wish they could have covered AC/DC and some CVH, they would have been amazing on it.

Check out Soulfly's Version of Smoke On The Water.

Anyone else heard Maiden's cover of My Generation, They Did pretty well with it.
