  • covers

    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

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

    Patti Smith's cover of "Gloria"

        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.

          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.

            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

              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.

                  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...
