covers

[whitelotus]

usually, i dont like people covering other peoples music, unless its totally of its own sound, or its givin another light and flavor

but some that i think are absolutely awesome are those who give it another sound totally, or give it something special, that makes it, its own.

tori amos's cover of the cures ' love song", her cover of princes' purple rain ' and her cover of ' enjoy the silence' of depechemode

i also love A perfect circles cover of ' diary of a madman' and the cures 'love song'


billy idols cover of ' la woman ' from the doors

the eagles cover of ' dust in the wind' of kansas

princes cover of ' nothing compares ' of sineade o' connor

concrete blondes cover of ' its a mans world' from james brown

[loseyourname]

The Byrds' cover of "My Back Pages"

Janis Joplin's cover of "Summertime"

The Cowboy Junkies' cover of "Blue Moon" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"

Patti Smith's cover of "Gloria"

and Nick Cave's cover of "Death is Not the End" just for the guy that sounds like a snake on the last verse

They didnt cover it but she sang it at New years bash on MTV, When Gwen Stefani sang Its the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine originally by REM

[jahannam]

covers are pointless.
they're like "hey check me out , I just traced this "God and Adam" painting off of MichelAngelo's , but I used different colors instead."

get over it!
it's a work of art...
and by manipulating it YOUR way, you're just admitting you lack creativity.

[SexyAries]

However, you can also think of it as putting in your own passaz, your own motif, your own style, or you can think of it in your way J.

[jahannam]

yes...
you ARE putting your own style and motif.
and apparently that kind of a "motif" or "style" is NOT creative.

like rewriting a Hemingway book in "your own words"...
very creative indeed lol

[SexyAries]

Ya of coarse writing a Hemingway in your own motif or painting your own style of a Vangoe is simply ridiculous! I was talking about music. Books and paintings and Simply Art should never be "remade"

Performance art is a little different than painting, J. Don't tell me Julie Andrews was no good because she didn't write her own songs.

[jahannam]

i didn't say when they don't write their own words
(although that's pretty pathetic when it comes to famous singers who are famous cuz they're HOT and they have a "nice" voice... I could do that too)
but anyway
I was saying when people sing AND change the style of songs that have been sung before.
like No doubt's it's my life
i feel like placing the entire band on an electrical chair when I hear that song.
drop dead terrible...

No doubt has come along way they basically introduced Skaw to everyone! and Gwen is a good singer and the band is good too they have one or two cover songs and a hundred of their OWN!
