I really only took a decent shot at a reasonably close cover one time. and I still had to fuck around a little, but I was pretty true to the form, for a while anyway.
my one shot was white rabbit, and I added a whole jam/solo section onto the end of it

Not sure if I have posted this before or not but here is a cover of Pretty Vacant by the Sex Pistols. I played all instruments and did the vocals. Wasn't being too serious just trying to learn how to track a whole song by myself

If I get proper clearance to do so, I'd love to post the audio of the crazy post-apocalyptic jugband version of 'Ring of Fire' that Eric Tessmer Band recorded with me on 2nd guitar and Gian Ortiz (Amplified Heat, their current new bass player) on washtub bass, recorded for use in a popular major-network TV show
this is ridiculous but whatever. At about 4:20 (of course), my band from 20some years ago goes into a Rush cover at our reunion show from a couple years ago. and the video and audio go totally out of sync but it's funny.... to me at least. I'm the fat guy without a shirt

Cover of Lennon's Imagine:
Recorded 8 years ago and has nothing common with the original, except the lyrics.

My old band SANDIA MAN covering Steely Dan's "King of the World" in an obnoxious, post-apocalyptic, sludgy manner as befits the dark lyrics:
Hello one and all
Was it you I used to know
Can't you hear me call
On this old ham radio
All I got to say
I'm alive and feeling fine
If you come my way
You can share my poison wine
[Chorus]
No marigolds in the promised land
There's a hole in the ground
Where they used to grow
Any man left on the Rio Grande
Is the king of the world
As far as I know
I don't want your bread
I don't need your helping hand
I can't be no savage
I can't be no highwayman
Show me where you are
You and I will spend this day
Driving in my car
Through the ruins of Santa Fe
[Chorus]
I'm reading last year's papers
Although I don't know why
Assassins cons and rapers
Might as well die
If you come around
No more pain and no regrets
Watch the sun go brown
Smoking cobalt cigarettes
There's no need to hide
Taking things the easy way
If I stay inside
I might live til Saturday
[Chorus]
JustJon on the bombastic drums, Sven on 4-stringed subsonic vibrations.
^that was good, especially when it got rolling in the middle.
this whole thread was pretty funny, except eric tessmer. he is seriously talented.
I definitely like interpretations better than trying to knock off a cover exactly.
Here is me interpreting Alice In Chain's "Would" on acoustic guitar. I'm primarily a drummer but I still think it's pretty good. Changed up the time signatures, etc.

Agent, that AIC cover on acoustic guitar was really fantastic. I liked the interpretation.
Lots of good stuff. I'll have to figure out how to post an mp3, as I've recorded a cover of War Pigs with a backing track that I downloaded. Went Guitar > Green Russian Big Muff > computer.
Thank you sir

I uploaded 7 songs today:
I am not the most tech-savvy dude in the world but I spent tonight doing a selfie of 8 cover songs and uploading to youtube, trying to land a spot (and land an audition ;) ) in a rock cover band:
(1) Stone Temple Pilots - Sex Type Thing (2) Stone Temple Pilots - Plush (3) Billy Idol - Rebel Yell (4) AC/DC - you Shook Me All Night (5) Bon Jovi - you Give Love a Bad Name (6) Cheap Trick - Surrender (7) Alice in Chains - Man in a Box (8) Collective Soul - Heavy
alwsys dug this one me and an old bandmate did. someone else made the video. think i posted it before on the old board
Celtic Frost - Procreation of the wicked
This was shitloads of fun to do!
Hi,
my band covering Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box!
http://soundcloud.com/sergeant-limbo/sergeant-limbo-heart-shaped
this is turning into a very good thread.
that was funny: so it's like i'm sitting in the guitar case carefully listening to father oblivions careful AIC song. Then, still sort of in that mode the sunshine of your love hits and about knocked me out of my chair. that raged. tha would be so sick on an album. you wouldn't know what hit you
I seriously should delete my song. most of these songs are actually good, and what a spectrum of sounds.
that celtic frost thing would be sick live really loud. holy shit.
eyeprod, the video maker made a pretty cool video.
this thread would make me a nice radio station right here.
Rough demo of me & Rich Thomas covering the Stones' Wild Horses.

We'll be going for coffee shop gigs & the like, so we're doing covers as well as originals.
.
Okay, here is my take on War Pigs. I used a backing track with bass, drums and vocals, so only the guitar(s) are me. I did three takes and multi-tracked them so there are three guitars going at a time in certain parts. I think it sounds better with headphones, because you can hear the guitar better. The guitar is muddy and low in the mix without the headphones.
I played my Les Paul through a Green Russian Big Muff into the computer. I will probably redo the solos and the "Luke's Wall" outdo with a different sound, because the Muff was not good for that.
Don't be too hard on me, I know its not perfect.

^^Re; the comment about being brave for doing that cover. I don't think it was brave at all. Especially when you have the ability to completely own it like you guys did. Great cover!!
Thanks! Recording it was a last minute decision in the studio, our drummer was quite drunk when we did it and we used the first take of the solo. Turned out pretty good still ;D
