That's a good Six cover. You're right about the overcharting on GH2, but that's true for every riff like that, and the same is true for every open string HO/PO riff. Whenever there is a speed chug w/ powerchords, the weaknesses of all of the guitar controllers really show.

Chris Penne of Coheed and Cambria(formerly of DEP), playing Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy" on live drums. WOW.

Re: Covers Good or Better Than Original?

I think B4MV's cover of Metallica's Creeping Death is pretty good.

Re: Covers Good or Better Than Original?

dont know if it's been posted yet, but this is the best cover of all time

Re: Covers Good or Better Than Original?

Shinedown's cover of Lynyrnd Skynyrd's "Simple Man" is pretty good.

Re: Covers Good or Better Than Original?

-Judas Priest's cover of Spooky Tooth's "Better By You, Better Than Me" is lightyears better than the original.

-The Hellacopters' covers of KISS's "All American Man" and The Robots' "In The Sign of the Octopus" are much better than the originals as well IMO.

Other than the songs already mentioned in this thread (Jimi's version of Watchtower and the Beatles' Twist and Shout especially), I don't really know what else to put out there.

Re: Covers Good or Better Than Original?

Babyface's cover of Wonderful Tonight is great.

Re: Covers Good or Better Than Original?

^^^ About Six, even I can play it on real guitar (ok, not the whole solo) so yeah its pretty easy

Re: Covers Good or Better Than Original?

Cartel's version of Wonderwall is pretty good.

Re: Covers Good or Better Than Original?

Thought I'd bump this thread since I've stumbled upon some solid covers recently..



Bad Comany- Five Finger Death Punch(originally by Bad Company)

:I love the original but I do like the version by FFDP.


I Can't Make You Love Me- Boyz II Men(original by Bonnie Raitt I believe)

Iris- Boyz II Men(original by Goo Goo Dolls)

Back For Good- Boyz II Men(original by Take That)



The Bonnie Raitt and Take That covers are better than the original IMO.

Re: Covers Good or Better Than Original?

Ah I love that FFDP version of Bad Company.

Here's Janus doing "Walking In My Shoes" originally by Depeche Mode

Re: Covers Good or Better Than Original?

Not a huge Mayer fan, but this is BY FAR my favorite song of all time. He absolutely OWNS this version. Sorry Petty, I love you more as an artist but Mayer owns this one.
