Covered songs that are as good or better then the originals #10988666 02/24/16

One that comes to mind is "Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel. The original is good but when the heavy metal band Disturbed covered it, I think its as good or even better. Sure its different, but the singers voice is just so powerful. I'm not a heavy metal fan at all and had never heard of this group until it was posted on Facebook. If someone could post the you-tube video that would be great. Listen to it and let me know what you think. Last edited by jaytee; 02/24/16.

Trent Reznor said afterward that "Hurt" was Cash's song and Cash had done it the way it should have always been done. Halestorm's cover of "Gold Dust Woman".

Here's an interesting article on it: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-e...st-music-video-of-all-time-a6683371.html "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." - Ronald Reagan

Nearly any version of Knocking On Heavens Door is better than Dylan's. As mentioned JC was the Original not NIN. I prefer NIN's Sammy Kershaw's version of Fire and Rain is at least equal to James Taylor's Originally Posted By: slumlord people that text all day get on my nerves just knowing that people are out there with that ability,....just makes me wanna punch myself in the balls
