Shakin' Street - 'Nothing To Lose' - On both the debut 'Vampire Rock' and the follow up S/T album.

 

Blue Oyster Cult - The mighty 'Astronomy' from 'Secret Treaties' , then re-done for the 'Imaginos' album.

One of the favourite bands on the forum (lol) Cauterize recorded 'Paper Wings' and then 2 years later released 'Disguises' with 8 songs from 'Paper Wings' re-recorded, and 4 alternate songs. The changes were minimal and barely noticable. I think generally I preferred the originals, though. But there was nothing in it.

 

R.I.P. :(

Saga - 'You're Not Alone' from the brilliant 'Images At Twilight', then a new (not as good) version On 'Pleasure And The Pain' in 1997.

Steel Panther has just re-recorded the song Death to all but metal, that they original released on the Metal Sludge CD.

Also, not album tracks, but Iron Maiden re-recorded Prowler & Charlotte the harlot for the b-side of the single The evil that men do!

Axe - 'Twenty Years Vols 1-2' - Complete re-records (very close to the originals) of various tracks from the first 4 albums.

I have volume 1 and it's quite good. :tumbsup:

Yeah, but I still prefer the original "In God We Trust". I also think that the '87 version of Europe's "Open Your Heart" blows away the original one.

Besides, King Kobra re-recorded "Ready To Strike" for the 2001 "Hollywood Trash" album. I prefer the original version by miles.

Tigertailz also re-recorded "Dirty Needlez" for "Bezerk 2.0", I didn't know there was a re-recording of "Noise Level Critical", to which single does it belong?

Didn't Babylon A.D. and Baton Rouge both record the song "Desperate".....I think they did and if so I can't remember if there is any difference.

 

Yes. Babylon AD's version off their s/t is a lot better than Baton Rouge's (off Light out on the Playground)

 

Further to... Babylon AD's version of Psychedelic Sex Reaction smokes Randy Jackson's version.

Sorry made a mistake, it was Love Overload I was thinking of, not Noize Levelz Critical.

Killer Dwarfs put Doesnt Matter on two albums, but think its the same version.

 

Motley Crue re-did Home sweet home for the compilation Decade of decandence, and Shout at the devil on the Generation Swine album.

Yeah, 'Doesn't matter' is the same on both discs.

 

Don't forget 'Peice of your action' and 'Live Wire' recorded for the 'Decade of Decadance' disc too. Both much better than the awesome originals, imo.

 

L.A Guns recorded Crystal Eyes then thought it didn't get the "respect" it should have then re-recorded it for an album a few years later

Yep, as Capt. Howdy said, same song on both CDs. Not a re-recording. Great song too.

 

Geoff the 'Piece of your Action' and 'Live Wire' tracks are remixes not re-recordings.

Really? They sound 10 times more monsterous than the originals. Amazing remixes if that's the case.

A few that jump to mind:

 

Warrior Soul did the "Classics" cd, re-recorded greatest hits cd. (The Upper Crust did this as well!)

 

WhiteCross did 1987. Original was great re-record was amazing!

Yup their remixes. Look at your cd. On both tracks it says 91 remix. :tumbsup:

I agree they do sound better and as you said more monsterous. :banger:

Helix "Love Is A Crazy Game" on It's A Business Doing Pleasure and a different (better IMO) version on B Sides. Fantastic song!

Posted

Bon Jovi redid Livin on a prayer, which was featured on the Cross road CD in the USA, and as a b-side track over here.

And lets not mention This left sounds shite!

 

I also remember that the song Like a negro by Mothers finest, was tweaked somewhat on the Meta-Funk'n-Physical as N-Groove.

Kiss - Strutter off KISS and Strutter '78 off Double Platinum. I thought Strutter '78 was better.

 

That sort of reminds me, a lot of bands will rerelease one song on a greatest hits album. The Police did that as well. Usually the one on the original album is better.

 

I thought of Whitesnake first as well. I liked their second versions better, especially Here I Go Again.

I always thought that Strutter 78 was pretty bad when compared to the original.

The drumming seemed off and almost had a disco flavor that made me want to throw up in my mouth.

Not sure if this counts, exactly, but X-Sinner re-recorded their entire PEACE TREATY album (1991) and released it as FIRE IT UP (2006)

 

I also recently picked up Bad Biscut's SHAG ABBEY album (which was supposed to come out in '97 but was shelved till '08) and it has a new version of the song "Blowin' Smoke" on it, which was the leadoff track to their debut THE AMERICAN DREAM? in '94.

If I'm not mistaken didn't KICK AXE & KING KOBRA both record the songs (that KICK AXE wrote) "HUNGER" & "PIECE OF THE ROCK"?

    • New album ''When Yesterday Comes Around' out March 21. From Pride & Joy Music: Alien is a Swedish rock band that has been a cornerstone of the hard rock scene since 1986, known for their melodic hooks, powerful guitar riffs, and the unmistakable voice of Jim Jidhed. Formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, the band quickly gained recognition both domestically and internationally, building a legacy of powerful albums and unforgettable live shows. Alien’s self-titled debut album, released in 1988, introduced their melodic hard rock style to the world establishing Alien as one of the standout bands of the late 80s hard rock scene. ”Only One Woman,” one of Alien’s most iconic songs which currently has almost 6 million streams on Spotify alone, became a massive hit and achieved gold certification in Sweden and dominated Swedish radio charts. The song also performed well internationally, receiving heavy rotation on radio stations in Europe, the US and Japan pushing the band higher into the global spotlight. Since then, the band has released several albums, the most recent one, ”Into the future” in 2020, which acclaimed positive reviews for its modern approach to the band’s established style, while still staying true to their melodic rock roots. 2025 marks a comeback with a new rcord coming out on March 21st, 2025 via Pride & Joy Music. With ”When Yesterday Comes Around” the Swedes take you back to a glorious time, but with a modern sound. Alien will also play at Sweden Rock Festival on the 4th of June, 2025 and will also embark on an South American tour in the fall next year. With a career spanning over three decades, the band continues to evolve and remain a vital force in rock music and the music continues to resonate with fans old and new. With a loyal fan base, a history of chart-topping hits and a reputation for delivering high-quality performances the band continues to tour worldwide and perform at major festivals and clubs. Their signature sound, a distinctive blend of melodic hard rock and AOR, has earned them a place among Sweden’s most enduring and beloved rock acts. The first single from the album, “If Love Is War” will be released in advance on January 10th, 2025. Line-up: •           Jim Jidhed – Vocals •           Tony Borg – Guitars •           Toby Tarrach – Drums
    • Haha, yeah, this is a name I am surprised to see on the forum. I remember them from what must be 20 years ago by now, I think? Is this from back then, or are they still going? Sounds pretty decent, for them.  
    • Oh, wow. They're "interesting" music videos. I think I did hear somewhere they're doing a video for every song on the album, ay? 
    • That Iridium Reactions dude on YouTube had this really high on his best of 2024 list... I think in top 3 or so? And it does sound quite nice. Will defo have to check this out this week and hope for a nice late surprise in the year. 
    • New song 'Voices'.    
    • It's so lonely in the top   
    • Voodoo Circle - Hail To The King Fire Action - Until The Heat Dies Company Of Wolves - s/t (Rock Candy) Europe - Prisoners In Paradise (Rock Candy) Cobra Spell - 666 New Arcades - All That Remains LeBrock - Hope (Digital)
    • Overall a bit let down by this album Nothing that really makes me want to turn it up and blast loud, just an ok album full of ok to good songs.
    • Yep, agree. Came up in my YouTube feed today and I like it. Great clip as well. Need to explore this mand more, only been in and out of their stuff a few times. Seems a bit hit and miss, but with a lot of real gems along the way.
