Amazing Cover Versions of Already Popular Songs
- Thread starter Netherscourge

Throwing a little Drum n Bass in here for those of you who had their defining years Circia 2008:
Pendulum did some fantastic covers back in the day spanning quite a few genre's, here's a choice selection:
Linkin Park - The Catalyst
Coldplay - Violet Hill
Calvin Harris - I'm not alone
(There's a "studio" version of this one but I think the live version is better)

Rage Against the Machine & James Maynard Keenan's version of Kiss's "Calling Dr. Love" immediately springs to mind.
And System of a Down's cover of Black Sabbath's "Snowblind"

All of Ghost's covers are killer and both the If You have Ghost and Popestar EP's are brilliant. I am a huge Depeche Mode fan and even I prefer the Ghost version of Waiting for the Night.
I hope they keep doing covers, maybe even another EP or two of them, hell an entire album of covers would be great, Tobias always picks songs that are excellent to begin with and masterfully makes them fit ghost both musically and thematically.
I love it when a cover is trying to do it's own thing instead of being a simple tribute piece to the original song.
I love "You shook me all night long" by AC/DC and it would probably make it into my top 20 songs of all time.
Timo Räisänen (a swedish artist) did a cover of the song, but in his version it becomes this vulnerable ballad and it just ... transform the song to something beautiful.
EDIT: Timo's cover of Radioheads "Creep" is also ... so fucking special.

Skylar Grey - "Love the Way You Lie" (Eminem ft. Rihanna cover)
Does this really count? I mean, she wrote the song.
I unironically love Cheap Trick, but the Holmes Brothers took a nice pop song and turned it into something transcendent.
That anyone, even Etta James, could make an Eagles song listenable, is nothing short of a miracle.

Not sure I'd label it as an "amazing" cover of Bowie's tune, but I just love Dylan's voice (and the band's driving rock version of it) for this version. It just drives the way the song really should. It's funny that Gabriel later does a version of it, as Dylan reminds me instantly of Gabriel as he leads into the second verse.
idk if you've heard already but KOL also did an excellent cover of Dancing on My Own
This is one of those threads where everyone posts but no one talks about what's been posted. In any case, this is my favourite cover in a long time.
You have to have balls of steel to cover Purple Rain but these guys hit it out of the park.
Also bonus Ice T at the start.
