Can we start an on-line petition to stop bands from covering 'Paint It Black' anymore? Ever. That's enough, people!! Yeesh!!

Agreed. There are a ton of Stones tracks to choose from if someone really wants to cover them. It seems like countless people have covered Paint It Black but have never come close to capturing the creepiness of the original.

Breaker - Pictured Life



Testament - Sails of Charon

The Boys did an excellent cover of "Better Move On".

Then you really don't want to hear the rock-a-billy version.

I dunno, I kinda liked the version The Naked Show did of Paint It Black on their Exposed demo/album.

Ha! I've requested the same thing! "Paint It Black" has been covered waaaaay to much. I do love Rage's version of it, though. Quite unique.



That rules!

There are a number of other songs that I think have been covered to much, or covered way too plainly way too often, but I just woke up and can't think of them. =) But "Paint It Black" is at the top!

Here's me w/ the Talon guys covering "Jane"...

Nice job. I recognize the song, but who did the original?

Jefferson Starship in about 1980 or so I believe ???

I love a good cover

One of my all time favorites




The Original




That Billie Jean cover is pretty good I like that

Is that acutally the Sex Pistols playing on 'Black Leather'? It was my understanding that the song was written by Steve Jones for the Pistols, but Johnny Rotten didn't like it because it wan't "punk" enough and was never recorded by them. It was only demoed by Jones.

That's the story I heard anyway, years ago before teh interwebs.

Nothing touches the origional, but Vision Divine does a good job tackling it (plus how many bands do Savatage covers?):

Depeche Mode- Enjoy The Silence

Thats another one of those songs that bands need to stop covering.

Good question, sadly I have no answer for that, I almost posted the Runaways doing this song too well Joan Jett but I think she did this during the time she was in the Runaways, this song is one of those songs that gets me pumped up and wants to drive at excessive speeds heh

Pretty Cool Cover of Animal Magnetism....

Here is one that I found today.

Check out this great cover of the Rainbow classic "Gates of Babylon":

No Pearl Jam fan, but this is awesome!



Possibly the ultimate cover.



So much fun, Lemmy goes back to his roots.

Rubbish. Lemmy never left his roots.

That is classic though. I miss his white boots!

I've always loved this cover.

Don't pay the ferryman...no, seriously, don't.

Sister Sin does UDO....

Here's one that came up today while I was exersing. I don't know if this one came up and if it did I apologize but here's Rage doing the Mission's Beyond The Pale :

This has to be one of the most bizarre covers I've heard, a very early Soft Cell covering Paranoid!!
