Alaska Darin Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Dwight Yoakum did a nice version of "Suspicious Minds" on the "Leaving Las Vegas" soundtrack. I also liked the Replacements cover of "Black Diamond"
BigDaddy12 Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 I also like Dwight's remake of Suscpicios Minds. Big Fan of his music. I also like Goldfinger's remake of 99 Red Ballons 311's remake of Love Song Dynamite Hack's remake of Boyz in tha Hood And that all I got to say about that

Grant Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 All Along The Watchtower by Jimi.Beat that if you can. 198082[/snapback] I might be the only one, but I always preferred Dylan's version. That's just me, though. Also, most covers of George Harrison songs seem to be better than the originals. Which isn't a dig on the guy, he was a great composer and a terribly under rated guitarist, but most of the covers I've heard of his songs seem to blow the originals away.
Rayzer32 Posted January 8, 2005 Author Posted January 8, 2005 Pantera's cover of Cat Scratch Fever 198235[/snapback] Had to think for a minute, but you're right. That one kicks some ass. That was a classic for Dimebag. R.I.P.

If you haven't, definitely pick it up (that's what I was using as a reference. All of the covers they did of his songs were phenomenal!)
Mark VI Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 The Yardbirds remake of Smokestack Lightning By Howlin Wolf ( Chester Burnett) The Yardbirds remake of Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters The Yardbirds - The BBC Sessions = True Greatness
RastaMouse Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Guns N Roses, KNOCKING ON HEAVEN'S DOOR 198267[/snapback] Absolutely !!!!
Greybeard Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 The Yardbirds remake of Smokestack Lightning By Howlin Wolf ( Chester Burnett) The Yardbirds remake of Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters The Yardbirds - The BBC Sessions = True Greatness 198292[/snapback] Wow another Yardbirds fan. They are few and far between. I thought for sure someone would say Aerosmith's remake of "Train Kept Arolllin," which I personally didn't think was anyway near what the Yardbirds did. I believe the BBC is a compilation, isn't it? There are a few cuts from my favorite Yardbirds album "Rave Up", of which Smokestack LIghtning is one. BTW, if you haven't heard it, get a listen to Birdland. Basically it is a remake of their some of the old Yardbird stuff with guest guitarists. There are also a couple of new songs which are very good. Makes you really wish they were originally recorded with a little bit of fidelity. The other odd thing about the album is some guy from Queen is the steady lead singer, lead guitarist ( I forgot his name) and he does one amazing job in reproducing the Keith Relf sound. You really have to hear it.
