lojo Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I don't listen to covers , once I've heard a song once it's not original anymore and twice is too much For some reason I love every cover I've ever heard of "hurt so bad" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 [quote name='squire5' timestamp='1503228342' post='3356542'] Have a listen to this guy,if you've not already heard of him.Him and his bassist do acoustic covers of nearly everything.He has one of the best voices I've heard in years.This is a great cover of Toto's 'Africa' [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLrC7e3vSv8"]https://www.youtube....h?v=MLrC7e3vSv8[/url] [/quote] Just listened on headphones... great rendition... but can't get past the autotune.

lowdown Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Posted before (a fews years back). A couple of friends of mine had a nice little project. A band called 'Skuffle'.

TrevorR Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 [quote name='mikel' timestamp='1503248199' post='3356678'] The Third Degree covering Duffy's Mercy. I love a bit of Northern Soul. [/quote] That's exactly what I was going to suggest. When I listen to it the song makes me feel like the Third Degree version must be an obscure original early 70s track which Duffy found in a second hand shop and covered! http://youtu.be/ZQ9oT_BRNt8 P.S. the singer on this isn't the cool dude in the video but the beardie folkish, singer songwriter from Hampshire, Jon Allen. This bloke... good singer! http://youtu.be/vTMEYe-wpcA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Although not original or much different, i really like the Phil X cover videos. Not bad for a 3 piece. Love the bass tones.

Ashweb Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) [quote name='Rocker' timestamp='1503251633' post='3356711'] Thin Lizzie covered 'Whiskey in the Jar' in the early 1970s and it has rarely been bettered. [/quote] I'd largely agree with that - although Metallica's cover of the same song is, for me, the go-to version [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzPD4CTTnHE[/media] Other notable covers would be The Slits version of Heard it Through The Grapevine... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCr8V5wAroA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCr8V5wAroA[/url] ...and this surprisingly good version of an AC/DC classic.
