I’ve always enjoyed this version better than the original. What do you think, Fleetwood Mac or Hole?

Cover Comparison: Machine Head vs Cradle Of Filth (Iron Maiden)- Hallowed Be Thy Name
Iron Maiden isn’t an easy band to cover. Here we have two bands covering “Hallowed Be Thy Name.” Who did it best?

Cover Thursday: Bush (Joy Division)- In A Lonely Place
This is one of the more intriguing covers of any Joy Division song I’ve ever heard. And since Bush put out their new album this week I figured why not share this one with all of you.

Cover Comparison: Eddie Vedder vs A Perfect Circle (John Lennon)- Imagine
This song is very fitting for what is going on in the world. These 2 versions are both interesting in their own way. What one do you think is better?

Cover Comparison: Shinedown vs Deftones (Lynyrd Skynyrd)- Simple Man
Thought I’d try something different. Since there are lots of the same covers out there I thought why not see what one you the reader/listener likes best. This week I put Shinedown and Deftones versions of Lynard Skynyrd’s classic “Simple Man” against each other.

Cover Thursday: Street Sweeper Social Club w/ Trent Reznor (MC5)- Kick Out The Jams
A few years back Tom Morello put together a new band called sTreet Sweeper Social Club. They were pretty decent. I saw them open for Nine Inch Nails twice. During one of their tour stops in San Diego Trent joined them on stage for a rendition of the MC5’s classic “Kick Out The Jams.” Check it out!

Cover Thursday: Neurosis (Black Sabbath)- Children Of The Grave
There are so many covers of Black Sabbath songs. Most of them are pretty bland. Neurosis did a version of “Children Of The Grave” some time ago, and their own twist to the song.

Cover Thursday: Shadows Fall (Pink Floyd)- Welcome To The Machine
Pink Floyd is very hard to cover. Korn tried and failed miserably, but then again it is Korn. In 2003, when Shadows Fall released their great album The Art Of Balance, I was incredibly surprised to hear them cover “Welcome To The Machine” at the end of the album. It’s another cover that I’m torn on. I love the original, and this version is good but I’m sure something is missing from it.

Cover Thursday: Ryan Adams (Black Flag)- Nervous Breakdown
A while back there was an album curated by Henry Rollins featuring all Black Flag songs redone with different vocalists. All the proceeds went to help the West Memphis Three. One of the tracks on that album that really stood out was Ryan Adams’ version of “Nervous Breakdown.” It’s a totally different and interesting version. Check it out!
