    I rather like the current Great White cover of Mott the Hoople's 
    "Once Bitten, Twice Shy", but I know Cat doesn't fancy it that much. 

    I think Racer X's version of David Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" is way
    hot!  Find it on their Second Heat lp. 
    
    Also noteworthy is G `n' R's cover of Dylan's "Knockin on Heaven's
    Door"!  Until now, there have been two live versions floating about
    (one on the flipside of the Welcome to the Jungle 45), but hopefully
    they'll record a studio version of it and include it on their next lp. 
    
    Now, Poison's cover of Kiss' "Rock n Roll All Nite" I think is way
    lame...I think the production is lacking on it, and it took the umph
    out of the original version, but hey, that's Poison for you. 
    
    Buck
    

    Judas Priest gas a good eye for potential in a cover tune!!
    
    One of the best EVER  is definitely "The Green Manalishi"
    originally written by Mick Fleetwood. (I dont know if he ever performed
    it?)

    	Kentucky Woman by Deep Purple is MUCH better than the way Neil

    	Train kept a rolling by Aerosmith also much better than the
    Yardbirds'
    		
    	Walkin' In The Sand by Aerosmith originally by some old (female)
    band? before *my* time :-)
    
    	All Along The Watch Tower by Jimi (any one is better than Dillon
    
    	Shakin' All Over and Young Man Blues (LIVE) by THE WHO
definitely better than the originals
    
    	OK even Pretty Woman by VH > the way Roy O did it
    
    	Any opinions on the way Ruin DMC did Walk This Way?
    	BTW DMC= dee muzac culture

    The Shangralas did the first version of "Walking in the Sand". 
    It was banned for being much too spooky, for all reasons....

    Blue Cheer's "Summertime Blues"  Has never been done better.

    I just heard Nuclear Assault's cover of Led Zep's "Good Times, Bad

    David Lee does "That's Life" better then 'ol Blue Eyes.
    
    Just my opinion.

re: -.2

I'm not a big fan of Crue's version of Jailhouse Rock. But ZZ Top does a 
pretty decent version of it on their 'Fandango' album.

Oh, BTW - I've give White Lions cover of "Radar Love" a feww more listens, and 
it really isn't as bad as I made it out to be. I still the drums bite the big 
one, but the guitar is pretty cool, Tramp even sounds half-decent on it, and 
it retains a lot of the feel of the original. Not bad....

    credited to Billy Roberts on the Hendrix album (whoever that

    	joe.

"Hey Joe" was originally done by The Leaves. It was pretty much a standard in 
the late 60's, so tons of bands covered it.

Another good cover that popped into my mind - "Whiter Shade of Pale" by HSAS
(Hagar, Schon, Arronson, Shrieve) was great - one of the few times I may have 
like a cover better than the original!

    Re last;
     I'll have to disagree with you on that cat. I think Deep Purple's
    version was before the Leaves version. I don't think any of these
    bands wrote it. Like you said, alot of bands have covered this
    tune.

> (editor's note - Dave Davies, world's most underrated guitarist).

IMO, Dave's shining moment is on the live album (damn, the title escapes me at 
the moment). Its the one that came out in the late 70's, with killer versions 
of "Low Budget", "Catch Me Now I'm Falling", "Where Have All The Good Times 
Gone", "Stop Your Sobbing", "Superman", and a shimmmering version of 
"Celluloid Heroes". Dave was in top form at that time, and proved himself to 
be a guitarist to reckon with.

Sorry about the slight rathole....

cat

P.S. I keep wanting to call the album "One For The Road', but wasn't that the
     Skynyrd album?

    Skynyrds album that your thinking about is "One More For The Road"
    where "From" is scratched out and "For" is scribbled in.  It's a
    double-live album - awesome.
    
    Seems like the Kinks DO have an album similarly named though.....

    EVH kills Davies IMHO. 

> I was at the Providence concert they used for the video that accompanied

Me too! As a matter of fact, I was in the front row, in front of Dave Davies, 
and can be seen in the ad for the video.....

But, I must admit, depsite being a big Kinks fan, I think that the VH version 
of "Where Have All The Good Times Gone" was better than the Kinks! It kicked 
butt, while the Kinks version always seemed just a little bit too lame for me.

    re .53 
      I just ran across this one. I like the cover that Great White
    did of Angel City's "Face the Day". It helps that I liked the original
    as well. In most cases these new covers are "rocked up" from the
    original but it really isn't as much the case with this song. 
    Angel City had some good stuff in it's day. My old band covered
    "She Keeps No Secrets" and "Marsailles"
    

    
    Dennis DeYoung's version of Jimi's "Fire"
    
    Molly Hatchet's version of the Stones' (hmmm, correct title?) "All

Yep, it's Michael Morales....and it has NO depth to it whatsoever...its 
so lame...MM DOES have a decent song out, though..it got a little airplay
around here right around the King Swamp/Michael Morales Concert....but 
haven't heard it since.  

The Romantics are one of my favorites (tho they aren't too great in concert)
but I have to turn the station every time I hear this cover, or I'll puke.

    I thought that cover of "What I Like About You" was by Michael Damien
    (the soap opera actor), not Michael Morales (who does a bunch of other
    covers).
    
    Regardless of who does it, it's way lame.  Much worse then the

    Re. White Lion's Radar Love
    
       I totally agree with .123. Its the drums and bass that drive
    this song. White Lions version has no balls. IMO

    Re last;
    
      Pete, I'm saying that In my opinion this version lacks dynamics.
    I don't think the drumming in this version is anything that stands
    out, its just there. It seems to be lacking something.... I feel
    its mundane. I'm not calling anyone names when I say its got no
    balls, this tune does not come out and grab me like GE version. Like
    eatin potatoes with no salt or pepper, needs some spicin up.

    re: Radar Love
    
    Quite honestly, I don't like the White Lion version either.  That's
    mostly because I don't like the original much anymore.  That's one of
    those songs I've just heard TOO MUCH and can't stand to hear it any
    more.  I actually like a lot of White Lions music, but I think covering
    that particular (old moldy) song was a poor choice.  
    
    ...besides, the song's too long, it seems it'll never end.
    
    re: Mike
    
    How could you miss recognizing Klauss' voice on that Who song.  He's
    got a VERY distinctive style.
    
    gh 

    I don't like the White Lion cover of _Radar Love_ primarily for
    three reasons...
    
    1) The bass part, which drove the original song's groove, is subtle
       in the WL mix and thus not effective at all!
    
    2) Vito's guitar fills inbetween the vocal lines are boring...they
       all end on the "1" (F#) and sound predictable after a while!
    
    3) Mike Tramp's vocal performance sounds utterly uninspired and
       canned.  They should have let the bassist sing that one!

    
    >2) Vito's guitar fills inbetween the vocal lines are boring...they
    >   all end on the "1" (F#) and sound predictable after a while!
     
    	Bingo!!  That's the reason I wasn't impressed with it at
    	first.  But after a while I looked past the fills and
    	realized I liked the song.
    
    							GTI
    

    I don't like Radar love much either, Mike Tramps voice is too "wimpy"..
    I heard people in my travels think that it was the old version.. who
    don't even know White Lion exists, eewww!  IMO

     Re. Greg
    
       I guess it confused me when I heard Can't Expain because I never
    heard Scorpions do a cover. I was thinking "no.....can't be, but the
    vocals do kinda sound like..." 
    
       On another note, has Stevie Rays version of Pipeline by the Ventures
    been mentioned yet? Thats a nice cover also.

The Scorpions version of "I Can't Explain" is one of those rarities in rock 
for me - a cover that's actually better than the original!!! Although I'm a 
big Who fan, I never like that song too much. But the Scorps did a great job 
on it, and it really moves along. Love it!!!

Bon Jovi's "Boys Are Back in Town" sounds pretty good also. Its pretty 
faithful to the original, but it sounds like the band had a really good time 
recording it, and that feeling is infectious. 

Ace Frehley's "Do Ya" has a nice feel to it, but its ruined by the vocals.
Ace should shut up and hire a singer ("Hello? Is Joe Turner there? Tell him 
its Ace calling...").

Just my $.02 on what I've heard on the radio lately....

    covers by Judas Priest, "Diamonds and Rust".  A lot of people have
    blasted me for this one (I won't name any names, JOE), but I really
    enjoy it.  A really powerful version.

    I actually like a lot of Joan Jetts songs (except the very gaggable "I
    hate myself for loving you" which could pass for a C&W tune with a
    different tempo).  I suppose it's the stuff she's put out recently
    that's really turning me off.  "Dirty Deeds.." is like the pinnacle of
    the material I don't like, I don't think she can get much worse then
    this one.

This is the LATEST and GREATEST copy of the Cover List.
Who'da thunk when I asked for metal covers there would be such interest.
 
Most of the additions are from "Stairway to Heaven, Highway to Hell" & VH.
As usual, make any corrections - look especially for ?s
Someone already named the correct originator of Ballroom Blitz as Sweet.
I just heard a live version of this on a Detroit station and they said
it was off the new, hard to find, LIVE West German import.
 
So, what do you all think of Joan Jett's new cover of AC/DC's Dirty Deeds?
(She's done other covers but this is the only metal one)

"Honey Hush" is the same music as "Train Kept A Rollin'", but different 
lyrics. And "Train" was originally done by the Johnny Burnette Trio in 1956, 
then later by the Yardbirds in 1965, *then* by Areosmith in the 70's.

I don't remember Heart ever covering "Whole Lotta Love" anywhere, although 
they have done a bunch of covers in the past ("Tell It Like It Is", "Long tall 
Sally", "Unchained Melody", others).

"Killing Floor" is a Howlin' Wolf tune.

"Teaser" is Tommy Bolin solo, not with Deep Purple (I'm pretty sure...).

"Louie Louie" was written by Berry, but performed by the Kingsmen.

"Happy Days Theme" wasn't performed by Little Richard.

    	Heart did "Rock'n'Roll" (Led Zeppelin) ... maybe that's where
    	the confusion is.
    
    	Lita Ford did a song called "Dancin' on the Edge", although
    	I don't know if that's the song that was mentioned as being
    	covered by whoever.

I think we could add for Guns&Roses 

Guns & Roses 		BadBoys			Rose Tatoo

I think its on "Lies"

      While looking at new released CD's the other day, I noticed the
    new Joan Jett. All the songs on it are covers, a Doors tune, AC/DC,
    even the old Chambers Brothers hit "Time Has Come Today" Has anyone
    heard any of these songs? Is it worth a listen? Kinda reminds me of
    David Bowie's Pin Ups album when he redid his favorite 60's tunes.
    
                                                                    mike

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOO!!!!!!!!!
    
    The new Joan Jett album SUCKS.
    
    Did I say that loud enuff?  S U C K S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Do not waste your time or money...it is the worst!!!!!!!!!!!!

    
    	What's that Buck?  You think I should definitely get that new
    Joan Jett album and turn it up LOUD? 8^)
    
    	He's right... At all costs avoid inquiring/gazing/fondling and   
    most of all listening to Joan's new album. IMO
    
    sean

    
    
      That bad huh? Well I'm glad I asked, guess I won't be adding
    that to my shopping list. Thanks
                                      mike
    

    I am a bg Joan Jett fan ran out and got this CD and listened to it once
    and shelved it, it stinks big time.
    
    Instead of "The Hit List" the album should have been called
               "The $hit List"
    
    

    
    	Great White's cover of Zeppelin's "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You"
    	is great!!
    
    	I'll say it again ... these guys do the Zeppelin songs better
    	than Zeppelin does.
    
    							GTI
    

    
    
    RE. 203 - i think Great White do great covers of Led Lepplin.  I
    think they kick butt doing the "Immigrant Song"!!!
    
                  - Kim

    so thats who that was, I wasn't sure ......Boy that was HOT !
    
    Chris

    I agree! "I'm gonna leave you" sounds identical, even down to the final
    notes of the vocals. It sounded like memorex to me!

       Billy Idol - L.A. Woman?
    

    re.212
    	Yes, I believe so. 
    I thought the cover was accurate, but that Billy's voice is 
    a little weak in a couple parts of it, namely the higher 
    ones.
    	Good cover though, I don't think you can say otherwise.

    	RE: Motorbreath
    	>Good cover though, I don't think you can say otherwise.
    
    	Otherwise.  
    
    	How'd I do!?  (;
    
    	tigga~~~

    	re: .212
    
    	Yeah, I thought Idol's cover was great... and I'm not a big
    Idol fan or anything.  His new album is really good, IMO.

    RE: Pete
    
    YUP!! it's cool.

    
    	RE: Kim
    	>I'm a BEER DRINKER.
    
    	Hey!!!  Is that to the tune of "I'm a Wheel Watcher?"  (8
    	Tigga~~~

    
     So is it on the new album?

    
    	I don't know much about the band (other than I liked what I heard)
    	Anchor Lot but their cover of Heart's Barracuda is my fav cover of
    	the week.
    
    	- Jim

    
	This was originally posted by Steve Owen, and I found it
    	while cleaning out my account.  Can anyone fill in the ?'s
    	with the original artist, or correct any?
    
    	I'd also like to add new ones, if you can think of any.

    The Ballad of Jimi Hendrix is DEFINITELY a S.O.D. original.

    AC-DC covered Chuck Berry's School Days on the import version of Let
    There Be Rock.

    Schoold Days is on my import of High Volatge

    The 3 Alice Cooper songs were on a cheap cassette I got outta a
    discount years ago.I think they were recorded anywhere between the
    "Easy Action"thru the"Love It TO Death"period.
    I think that tape was called"Science Fiction".

    He one that TV show with Lulu on, and they were due to do a duet
    (Hendrix and Lulu doing Hey Joe? gimme a break!!) and Jimi didn't 
    let her come on stage.
    
    Anyway, I thought he wrote it.

    
     I remember a version of Hey Joe by a group called The Leaves way
    back in my youth. I used to have a 45 of it. It seems to me that
    alot of bands have covered this tune, but I sure can't remember
    any more right now.

    Hey, Sunday night I heard this very strange cover of Iron Man done
    reggae style!  It had a heavy sound to it, but it done to a reggae
    beat.   It was alright....something to laugh at.  I wouldn't want to
    listen to it very many times though.   I hope this doesn't start a
    metal/reggae style like has happened with rap!
    
    |KS|
    

I heard a cover of "Won't You be My Neighbor? (Mr Rogers) but I didn't catch the
band's name.

I thought it was bad until I recognized the tune - then I gagged...

Tim

    
    has anyone else heard the Bosstones covers of Enter Sandman and sweet
    Emotion... both are done at super-speed. I actually liked 'em...

    Was it Dread Zeppelin that did that Iron man cover?  I should have
    guessed!
    
    
    
    The Bosstones?   Never heard of 'em.

    
    Never heard of "The Mighty Mighty Bosstones"???
    
    "It's a plaid, plaid, world"...???
    
    Boston based band that loves to mosh!

    
    
    
    	Picked up their new cd the other day.  Have yet to listen to it
    though.
    
    	The covers and two new tunes cd rules!
    
    	Last Friday's Globe had a piece on the latest hot Boston bands.
    MMB were there.  They're supposed to be doing a nationwide club tour
    soon.

    	It's amazing how many songs which aren't covers contain Sabbath
    	riffs or complete melodies.
    
    	- Jim

	I don't know if I'd call it hot or not but it's the type of cover
	I generally prefer hearing, one that sounds like the particular band's 
	song and adds something, Boston's/the world's 360s' (formerly the 
	Bardots) version of "Are You Experienced?".

	- Jim

    
    	Celtic Frost does a HORRID cover of Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican
    	Radio".
    
    	Highly unrecommended.

    re .last
    
    Oh I dunno, I think the lead singer mimics Stan Ridgway brilliantly,
    albeit briefly, in that song. It's not that bad. 
    
    The Pogues have recently released a cover of "Honky Tonk Woman."
    That, I regard as one of THOSE songs which can never be bettered
    so there's no point in covering and releasing it as a single. 
    
    barry.

    The Pogues version is infact rather brilliant...I dont like them, but
    they have a new singer and the improvement is dramatic.
    
    It was on the Chart Show, last sat, so providing it is going up the
    charts it should be on again.
    
    MArk

    I think Spider Stacey supplies the vocals for the single. So what's
    happened to Joe Strummer then? How about reforming The Clash then
    Joe? Preferrably not the "Cut the Crap" line up.
           

    Hadaway,man.
    
    The Clash won`t reform. They`re not into the nostalgia lets get back
    for loads of dosh Who or Deep Purple crap. I think they were offered
    a million dollars by CBS to reform,and they turned it down.
    
    "They promised,musical integrity,
     just sign this bit of paper.
     They meant,make lots of money,
     Worry about it later" 
    
    etc,etc.
    

    I thought the Clash *had* reformed a few weeks back, didnt they play
    some record company gig??? for all the posh executives?
    
    Mark

    Er,did they? Oh dear.
    
    I hope they don`t reform,personally speaking.
    
    "The new recruits,are not concerned,
     with what there is to be learned.
     they`ve got Burton suits,
     ha! you think it`s funny,
     turning rebellion into money".
    
     Eeeh,i`m full of Clash lyrics this afternoon.
    

    I *think* I am correct.....I am pretty sure it was them, it was a one
    off show, and they have said they wont tour properly.

How about Sweet Leaf (Old Sabbath) by Ugly Kidd Joe ??
How about Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by Anthrax ??

(FWIW - I LOVE doin' covers of Sabbath tunes!!!)

jc (WarPigs FREAK!)

    Not HOT, but anyone else hate the cover tunes (noteably the Pistol
    covers) done by Megadeth?  That band does the lamest cover tunes!!

    Yeah, I agree, Kev.  It's fine, but it sounds almost exactly like I
    remember the original.  Why bother?
    
    Greg   

    I thought it sounded better than the original, but I never thought much
    of the original, so that isn't saying much.  
    
    The video is cool though.  Neat computer animation.

    RE: The Sabbath cover...
    
    "Dimebag" Darrel (or whatever the hell he's going by these 
    days) does an o.k. job on the "Planet Caravan" cover.  I
    much prefer Iommi's lead snipets on the outro part over
    the stuff DD pulled off.  Toni's licks are way more burnt
    and zoned-out.  
    
    Hail the original!
