Possibly best cover ever?

30 seconds to mars cover of Bad Romance by Lady gaga

for those of you who dont know the original here it is

These guys have gone up in my books, they also did a cover of Umbrella by Rihanna which was also very good.

Blimey I must have wandered into the Music, Box Office, TV & Books when I thought I was in General Discussion

The words "best" and "good" mentioned in the same post as the horror of 30 Seconds to Mars do not compute.

A Beautiful Lie is one of the most well crafted best produced albums i've heard...one of my top 10 albums, don't really rate This Is War though

It's such a shame that all the songs are completely soulless and utterly vapid.

In before Johnny Cash.

And yes - that Placebo cover is absolutely brilliant.

Allmost couldnt agree with you less.

Whether you like the style of music or not it is most certainly not soulles.

Three Days Grace covering Wicked Game is a great cover.

While I love 30 seconds to mars I dont think that cover is their best work.

Cover in the OP is hilariously bad

 

[Matteysan]

I like 30 Seconds to Mars but that cover is pretty crappy to be honest.

It's entirely soulless. There's no emotion. Any emotion it has ever had has been completely polished away by the production. It all sounds so forced. So needy. So formulaic.

They're just a horrible, horrible band born from complete vanity on Letos part as his acting career was heading no where quickly.

Jimi Hendrix "All Along The Watchtower" (

) Pure Awesomeness


http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/soldonsong/songlibrary/allalongthewatchtower.shtml

There are few cover versions that truly replace the original in most people’s minds. But Jimi Hendrix’s version of Bob Dylan’s “All Along The Watchtower” is so good that even Dylan prefers it.

Top 3:

1. Wuthering Heights by China Drum (originally by Kate Bush)
2. Rush Hour by JoyRider (originally by Jane Wiedlin)
3. Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head by Manic Street Preachers (originally by Burt Bacharach)

Honourable mentions:

Independent Women by Elbow (R1 Live Lounge)
Take The Skinheads Bowling by Manic Street Preachers (originally by Camper von Beethoven)

Dreadful cover. Formulaic and just awful. Sounds like a cover band in a ski resort paying their way through a season with mechanical muzak. I feel ashamed for you.
