Got a favourite song re-make?
 

One of my favourite re-makes of all time is:

Have a Cigar, by Pink Floyd.

The Foo Fighters did a very cool version of it a couple years ago.
Let me know if you want a copy and I'll put it up somewhere.

What are your faves?

Ive always loved Sex Pistols "My Way"

Come on Eileen remade by Save Ferris!

Annie Lennox - No More I Love You's and Wait In Vain. They're from a whole album of covers but those two are the best, imho. :)

Shinedown - Simple Man


Sorry Cold, had to beat you to it...;-)

Damn, and I was going to pick it too. Runner up for me is WORD UP by KORN or THE WALL same group.

hell yea, I got Simple Man and both those on my playlist. Good taste in music dude, good taste indeed.



awwww, we just had a moment...;-)

Generally I HATE covers but my fave remake of all time is Joan Jett's version of I Love Rock And Roll . The original by the Arrows is good but the woman owns that song ever since. Interestingly, Britney Spear's version may be one of the worst versions ever.

I'm a big fan of remakes, esp of 80's songs.

ie:

Land of Confusion - In Flames
Watch out here I come - Orgy (I think off)
If the Kids are United - Rancid
Relax - Powerman 5000
We are only gonna die - Sublime

My wife tells me that Tool/Perfect Circle has made a newer version of Imagine, but I've not yet heard it.

Faith No More did justice to their version of War Pigs

Anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes... they take lame songs and make em great!

“Sympathy for the Devil” the original was good, but I like the GnR version much better.

Torn,

I think we are 'dating' ourselves... lol

lol... I like Faith No More too =o)

was playing some tracks from The Real Thing few weeks ago and my oldest was like... oooooh... who is THAT!

This is same munchkin who cooed and giggled to Master of Puppets as a baby... hehehe

lol... you gottat like that!

Not to mention a great cover of "Easy".

for some reason I thought that was ugly kid joe but they did the remake of Cats in the Cradle didnt they?

What's that song the New Kids on the Block re-did....Slipped my mind! :bonk:

Yes that was "Ugly Kid Joe"

If your listening to NKOTB then YOU slipped your mind.

For whatever reason, MC Hammer popped into my head. I've never listend to NKOTB directly, but my cousin was obsessed with them. I remember she hated Hammer because he did one of their songs or something crazy like that.

Buy me a beer and remember I only pitch. I do no catching.:whip:

O<s>ZZ</s>Y doing STAYING ALIVE is a very memorable one ...

"I AM DISCO MAN!!"

Also liked TYPE O NEGATIVE's versions of <b>Cinnamon Girl</b> (N.Young) and <b>Summer Breeze</b> (Seals & Crofts)

Eddie Vedder and company also did a very good version of <b>Last Kiss</b> (Frank Wilson & the Caviliers)

Well then we may...um...butt heads so to speak

Trick Daddy, Twista, Lil Jon
Crazy Train


I couldnt find the lyrics and would appreciate it very much if someone could. Yes I know its not a remake its a sample but you gotta love anything that has any ozzy in it.

For the record, the O<S>ZZ</S>Y remake of Staying Alive is not a sampling .... O<S>ZZ</S>Y actually did it with Dweezil Zappa (Franks twisted son) :D

Well worth locating on your favorite P2P program :cool:

Type O Negative's version of Black Sabbath was really good too.
