Good cover songs

I recently saw the Zac Brown Band perform at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. They did three unexpected covers:

Whipping Post - Allman Brothers Band
The Devil Went Down to Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band
Metallica - Enter Sandman

All were superbly done!

 

Love this !!

 

There is no good covers only originals.

 

I think this is a Sublime cover but it may be the other way around. I don't know which came first, but anyway... I really like Reel Big Fish.

 

Oh I beg to differ!

So many covers of Dylan songs are better than the Dylan versions..

All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Guns n' Roses
Mr. Tambourine Man - The Byrds

to name a few.

 

I know. Now that I primarily listen to country music, I find that a lot of songs I like are actually remakes from older songs.

Basically, I had a friend once once in a band who convinced me that cover bands were the worst. so i took the sword and oath with him on that.

 

TBH mate I think none of those come close To the Originals !!
Dylan himself did some good covers though !

 

To each their own Mally. That's what makes the world go 'round.

 

How can you better This Mate ?

 

By Substituting that slightly grating Harmonica with the best lead guitarist ever, better drumming, more dynamics and a better singer.

 

Easily...

 

Not saying its not OK but he turned it into a pop song ! It lost its Edge and Drive
cant listen to that version nowadays
