Members Funkee1 Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 Several People will say "All Along the Watchtower" by HendrixIT escapes me, but there is a song, I believe, by the Eagles, that most people don't realize is a cover. It was originally by Fleetwood Mac.The song escapes me now, though........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Anesthesia Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 I prefer Megadeth's version of the Sabbath classic Paranoid. I prefer Xavier Rudd's version of No Woman No Cry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was originally by Fleetwood Mac.The song escapes me now, though........ You're not talking about "Oh Well" are you?? The Rockets did a great remake of it. Fleetwood Mac did the original back in '68 (pre-Stevie & Buckingham). Mr. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rummy Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 you serious? I liked the verses, but he just sounded.....'flat' in the chorus The "solo" is also lame. I still think it's better than the original. I just like the composition, how they integrated actual instruments instead of the synth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flatcat Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 The Beatles did a much better version of Twist and Shout than the Isley Brothers. Whoops! The Isleys version was a cover too. Originally the tune was done by the Top Notes, produced by a young and pretty green Phil Spector. It tanked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod0dmw Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 gotta disagree with the Tool cover I'll probably get killed for this, but: I STRONGLY DISLIKE LED ZEPPELIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They wrote some decent music, but they couldn't play it live for {censored}. That's why I like most of the LZ covers that came out. Jimmy Page was the sloppiest studio guitarist I've ever heard. Bonham was good, but I don't see why is praised so much. He wasn't the only guy in the world who was doing those things. Heck...Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich did it all years before him. JPJ was an awesome bass player...no complaints at all. Robert Plant...is...Robert Plant. I'm not starting anything, and I probably won't even respond to any comments on this one. If you like em', it's cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ender_rpm Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 I think its less that other musicians were doing the same things technically, and that they were all doing them in the context of the same band, total more than sum of parts, synergy, that sort of thing. But hey, diff'rent strokes brah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rikshaw Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hell yes!!!Turn the Page - Metallica one of the worst songs ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GRANKOR Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 Page fair enough sloppy live, but not on studio work. Also you need to remember the production of those records is all by him and it's awesome. Bonham pretty much originated 'rock' drumming, most players of his era came from a jazz background. JPJ does indeed rock, and yeah Percy is Percy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mmb Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 one of the worst songs ever. Agreed. But I like Metallica's version of Whiskey in the Jar just as much as I like the Fables version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
