jugalo Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 I know this one is pretty obscure guys but fun none the less... a nice time waste. The Sensational Alex Harvey Band Faith Healer Helloween Faith Healer Fish (from Marillion) Faith Healer
Steve Haynie Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 SAHB is great! The Fish version of Faith Healer beats the Helloween version, and Helloween was the one I expected to be better.

HoboMan Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Lou Reed said this was the best version of Sweet Jane that he'd ever heard. I agree: Edit: The Rock & Roll Animal version is killer also.
LordOfTheThighs Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Metallica's version of Whiskey In The Jar. I like Metallica's cover of it better than Thin Lizzy's cover of it. Met really spiced it up.
zorrow Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Four come quickly to my mind: 1- "Anna", performed by The Beatles: . This one was actually written and previously performed by Arthur Alexander, but the Beatles made a huge hit out of it.2- "The Great Pretender", performed by Freddie Mercury: . IMHO, The Platters' version pales in front of the flamboyant performance and mannerisms of "Sir Gaga". 3- "The Ripper", performed by Mercyful Fate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6-E_qBHXBQ. It sounds to me way more menacing than the original by Judas Priest, in spite of it being already a classic. King Diamond delivers with his pitchy-but-still-cool vocals. In addition, the guitar tones of both Denner and Sherman absolutely rock. 4- "Whiter Shadeof Pale", performed by Michael Schenker: . I don't dare to say it's better than the original, but I simply LOVE this guitar-oriented arrangement and Michael's fills. It also sounds to me quite "Queen-ish", and Queen is my favorite band, so... Well, hope you enjoy all of them as much as I do.

gtone Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Gordie Johnson (Grady & Big Sugar) can even make the Canadian anthem sound cool (no easy feat!), but I dig Big Sugar's take on Traffic's "Dear Mister Fantasy"Big Sugar - Dear Mister Fantasy
mc2 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Hurra Torpedo's "Total Eclipse Of The Heart". WHOA! BRILLIANT!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVdh-kysytc...feature=related --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEfCt1QgFrc One of my fave little known covers.... "Goin', Goin', Gone" -- Rather obscure Bob Dylan tune (his only studio LP for Electra/Asylum) covered on Rubaiyat: Elektra's 40th Anniversary by Bill Frisell, Robin Holcomb & Wayne Horvitz
zenmindbeginner Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 After the Fire's "Der Kommissar" whoops ass all over Falco's original.I like every version that was on "The Blues Brothers" original soundtrack better than their originals.
gorch Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 After the Fire's "Der Kommissar" whoops ass all over Falco's original.I like every version that was on "The Blues Brothers" original soundtrack better than their originals. I can't believe anyone knows After the Fire. It just came to my mind I still have two records, Laser Love and 80-F. Last time listening? At least 20 years ago. 1980-F was my favorite at the time. Der Kommissar came later I think. I remember it has been aired quite a lot at the time.
