I woke up this morning with “Heroes” stuck in my head for some reason. And in a stranger circumstance it was the arrangement of David Bowie’s version with Jakob Dylan singing. So for today, why not go with The Wallflowers great version.

I’m still on an Incubus kick. And while on this kick I looked into the band a lot to see what I missed over the years of not being a fan of theirs. During my research I stumbled upon this cover they did of Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun.” It’s nothing special, but it is a solid rendition. So here you go!
Incubus- Black Hole Sun:
I recently gave a friend of mine a bunch of music to listen to. One of the bands I gave him was Professional Murder Music. Some of you might remember them in the early 2000’s. They were featured on the End Of Days soundtrack. Anyway, on their debut album they did a really cool version of The Cure’s “A Night Like This,” so I thought I’d share their version on this cover Thursday.

I was going through some CD’s the other day and came across a CD of covers I burned. On it there was Disturbed’s version of Metallica’s “Fade To Black.” This got me thinking that I should do a cover comparison of the different covers of “Fade To Black.” So here you have three versions. Disturbed’s, Sonata Arctica’s, and Apocalyptica. Who do you think did it best?

I’ve throughly enjoyed doing this feature on Thursdays. It’s really fun to find interesting covers and share them with you all, even if some of you have heard them before. Today I bring you a cover comparison between Stone Sour and HIM, covering Chris Issak’s “Wicked Game.” Which one do you prefer?
Stone Sour:
HIM:
Chris Issak:
Personally I like the Stone Sour version better
I find it very intriguing that while on my kick of listening to Garbage as of late I would stumble upon their cover of my favorite Ramones song, “I Just Want To Have Something To Do.” Shirley Manson really delivers the goods on this version, as well as the rest of the band.
I just discovered this cover of David Bowie’s “Suffragette City” by Alice In Chains. Their arrangement is very rocking and adds a bit more to it. Layne Staley is killer on this track. Check it out!!

I’ll admit I was a little late to the party for Ryan Adams, but since I got put on the train I can’t get enough. A friend of mine brought this cover to my attention this morning and I had to share it. Here is Ryan Adams covering “Times Like These” by Foo Fighters.

Corey of Slipknot/Stone Sour is one of my favorite frontmen in music. He is now on a book tour and doing acoustic shows to accompany the signing. Corey does a bunch of Slipknot/Stone Sour songs as well as a good bunch of covers. Here is Corey doing the songs “Lightning Crashes” by Live.
Corey Taylor- Lightning Crashes:
YouTube is full of a lot of junk, but amongst the junk there are some great gems. While on a recent Deftones kick, I stumbled upon this performance from 2001. Deftones covering “Say It Ain’t So” by Weezer. At first I was skeptical but after pressing play, I was taken aback by how cool their version is. Check it out and let me know what you think.
