scottcald Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hmm. I don't see this as making it their own so much as a great reproduction of the track. To me, an artist making a song their own is Johnny Cash with "Hurt". Trent Reznor doesn't even consider that his song anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an exception to my rule as you said, it was a great effort at exacting the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Nazareth made songs their own. None of their cover songs sounded like the original versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy p Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Damn, those guys are good but conga/acoustic man must not realize playing music is enjoyable. He looks like he's never had a minute's fun in his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easier for me to relate to the emotions surrounding Trent's 20s-nihilism than Cash's melancholy recollecting, though I do remember being quite taken by it when it first came out.

Jakeboy Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I never understand doing a cover exactly like the original....even when playing in bar bands, I wouldn’t play a cover exact. For ME, there’s no point in that. That said, they did it well. I much prefer what Van Halen did with You Really Got Me and Ice Cream Man....and what Zep did with You Shook Me and Nobody’s Fault But Mine....they made the songs their own and utterly transformed them. In fact, they may have made them even BETTER. That’s the way to do a cover. For MY tastes anyway....and +1 on Nazareth transforming covers too.
