Best Cover Song

[Eyes of the Night]

Where have all the good times gone ...

Best cover song by whom? Just Van Halen or of all time? I've gotta go with You Really Got Me. To me the sign of a good cover is when the band owns the song so completely that the original band sounds like a watered down cover by comparison (and usually has to switch to performing a modified version of the cover such as Prince's renditions of Nothing Compares 2 U or the Eurythmics Sweet Dreams).

I like Metallica's rendition of Diamond Head's of "Am I Evil?"

I like a lot of the covers on the Spaghetti Incident by GNR.

I guess since it's in the VH/DLR forum, it's VH/DLR guys...

Man, I also have to go with "You Really Got Me". They OWNED that tune. A close second would have to be "You're No Good" for me.

Ditto.

Well, non DLR/VH...

Skid Row's copy of C'mon and Love Me


Anthrax's Parasite.


Basically, if a group covers KISS, it can't get worse than the original.

[diamondsgirl]

Fav VH cover = You're No Good

Daves screams are some of his best ever

like I've said before he sounds very cool going back and forth with Eds guitar on this tune

[Eyes of the Night]

True indeed DG ... but I can't give NG props really because it's a Arethra Franklin tune ... lol isn't it? ...

[Take 'Em]

"Face to Face" did a cover of INXS song "Don't Change".

Hard edged punkish band with dynamite musicianship..

Other covers on an album they did called "Standards & Practices" included the Ramones "KKK took my Baby away" and Big Country...

Great shit!!!!!
