STATE of MINE - In The Air Tonight.

If the question is, "covers, yes or no?", then my answer is always YES!

Here's why. 

This one's a ripper. IMO, of course. 

 

 

Love that

Not sure how many here are familiar with Helmut Lotti, but in Europe he's this big tenor, who's been around forever, and is highly regarded amongst classical music lovers. A couple of months ago this video dropped, and it's freakin' great:

Pearl - Nutbush City Limits. 

From the great 2010 album "Little Immaculate White Fox" by Pearl Aday (Meatloaf's adopted Daughter BTW).

The original is Legendary and this is a worthy tribute.

She has a very powerful voice.

The wristband, leather pants and t-shirt were a nice touch.

First to Eleven - I Was Made For Lovin' You.

I know many of you hate "covers", but I love 'em.

This is a great Hard Rock band that delves into many genres. Our stuff and modern stuff alike.

They've released about 18 albums or so and it's all quality. 

From the Musicianship to the very hot and talented Lead Singer. 

This is a small taste. 

 

 

[Darkstone]

Here's some more from " First to Eleven".

They're well worth checking out.

The Dead Daisies dropped this video yesterday...

 

[Mr.AOR]

AWESOME!!! cover by The Northern Lights...

 

[Darkstone]

Prayer 94.

Listening to this one today, remembering the glory days. 

More of a reboot than a cover I guess.

 

 

 

[tobi is an animal]

Always preferred it to the original myself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Darkstone]

Here's two Killers from one of the best covers EP's ever.

Skid Row covering KISS and Jimi Hendrix, among others. You can't go wrong. 

"Little Wing" has been covered many times. The SRV version is EPIC, but of course, no vocals.

I reckon this version of Little Wing is definitely my favourite.

Doro and Rob Halford - Total Eclipse of the Heart.

One from late last year.

At first I didn't think it worked, but it grows on you.

Doro is still as hot as fuck BTW.

Shame she never really followed up on this album. I loved it when it came out but I think all she has really done since is Motor Sister, which really never did much for me although not heard the second album.

[Captain Howdy]

Well due to how many pages this thread is, not really sure what has been posted but I thought I would post a bunch of covers by a band who generally pick unusual songs to cover and cover them exceptionally well.

The Eurythmics

Tina Turner

Shakespears Sister

ABBA

Iron Maiden

The Pet Shop Boys

The Beatles

Genesis

Metallica

Army Of Lovers

Roky Erikson

"The Show Must Go On".

A magnificent track.

The original by Queen is beyond KILLER, but I just discovered today that Australia's sweetheart, Delta Goodrem has covered it.

It's a worthy tribute. 

The best cover that nearly surpasses the original is the EPIC version by JSS.

Of course, the fap value of Delta has to be taken in to account, so it's a quandary.

yeah I know, but this cover was specifically of the Muppets version

[Darkstone]

I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old.

KISS were big down here then.

Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage. 

The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.
