Unusual and GOOD cover versions

[blossie33]

Very interesting version!
Not quite to my taste but very original.

I don't know if anyone consider these "covers" in the traditional sense, but there's a little group I like in the US, called the Ephemeral String Band, and they've done a lot of versions of Sacred Harp songs which I really like. Unfortunately they've only done them as youtube vids recorded on shoddy cameras, and not an album of them or anything.



Edit: I lie, there's a proper recording on bandcamp

It's not really good, and it's a remix rather than a cover, but it's certainly unusual:

I love everything Corey Taylor sings on, be it here with Stone Sour, Slipknot or his acoustic shows.

Version of the classic Masters at Work breakbeat US garage tune The Nervous Track done in a sixties raw funk work out fashion

I was just looking for a video for Love's Seven is Seven (prob my fav Love track) and came across this mad cover by Alice Cooper: speed-Kraftwerk backing track with metal guitar on top and the bizarre vid has Alice shadow boxing in some red y-fronts .... seems Alice was up to some pretty wacky drum machine stuff in the early 80s...slightly cabaret....doesnt really work but its entertaining
