Good-ass cover songs

This is probably the best version of Black Betty I have heard. The Lead Belly original from the '30's is just old ass music hard to relate to. This cover seems to be more of a riff on the Ram Jam cover that was so famous, but the Aussies of Spiderbait have captured everything that was great about that cover and scorched all the stench of the '70's off that version, keeping with the rule of good taste that music from the 1960's and 1970's should largely never be tolerated.

Maybe the cover that made the most money for the writer. $10M in royalties and climbing.

Aerosmith, in their alcohol and drug addled haze, in the late 70's, for a super crappy movie based on Beatles songs, for the win!

No, no, no.

You got the wrong Aerosmith cover!

Band defining, band saving, genre busting, crossover hit.

That's a Run-DMC cover of an Aerosmith song, I posted an Aerosmith cover of a Beatles song... two totally different fish. :x

:laughing
 
Metallica was a pretty important band to me growing up. They're pretty much a joke now, but they can still crush a cover song. I think Garage inc. is still a fantastic album.

Well that was pretty amazing.

While I've never been much in to Frank Zappa (and I did see the Allman Bros once, but after the second or third song they were all sitting down so I left, I really was there to see the opening band "Little Feat" anyway), I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to see Dweezil doing, as it was called then, "Zappa does Zappa". And that was a pretty extraordinary show. Really amazing performance.

I believe he still tours, but it's now called "Dweezil plays whatever the * he wants" because apparently he doesn't actually have access to the Zappa name.

Worth checking out if they come by.
