[Super Daddy Dan]

suggestion:

Blue Monday - Orgy

Sweet Dreams - Marilyn Manson

Personal Jesus - Marilyn Manson

Tainted Love - Marilyn Manson


yeah its heavy on manson, but i love him and those covers would be fun as hell to play!

thoughts from the rock band community?

[Reveries]

worst stuff ever, go back to hot topic

[TheCheckeredDemon]

Those covers are... Terrible.

RATM's cover of In My Eyes would be awesome though.

[RSL44]

Metallica's covers of Turn the Page and Whiskey in the Jar would be amazing.

[CrazedGeek]

While we're throwing random covers around:

"Stray Cat Strut" by Reel Big Fish
"Lyin' Ass *****" by Reel Big Fish/Rachel Minton
"Little *****" by Big D and the Kids Table
"Baby Got Back" by Jonathan Coulton
"We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions" by Jonathan Coulton
"Only a Lad" by Let Go
"I Love Rock 'n' Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

[ElPinko]

They all seem ok except Mansons sweet dreams, a truely dreadful cover, it would be sluggish to play, terrible to sing, no fun whatsoever. The other 2 Manson tracks on the other hand, got some pace and some singing to them and would be appreciated by me...when I get my Xbox back from Microsoft...

No Hendrix Along the Watch Tower? You Fail...

[afterstasis]

despite being a huge bob dylan fan, hendrix's cover of "all along the watchtower" is so much better than the original that most people consider it just as much his song as dylan's...

Indeed, I actually wasn't aware it wasn't the original. I'm not sure I'd want to hear another version of the song.

How about a pack of Metallica covers?

The Prince
Crash Course in Brain Surgery
Last Caress/Green Hell
Helpless
Breadfan
Stone Cold Crazy

Or really, just release Garage Days Re-Revisited. That would be awesome.

[A New Pyro Fool]

You want covers instead of the actual artists?

Fail.

[LoopyChew]

You want covers instead of the actual artists?

Fail.

Somebody misunderstood. The actual artists are the ones who performed the cover. Marilyn Manson didn't write any of those songs (Sweet Dreams - Eurhythmics, Tainted Love - Not sure who, but Soft Cell is the best known cover artist, Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode; Joan Jett didn't write I Love Rock and Roll, but her version is more famous than the original, etc.).

Thusly, I must point dramatically and shout,

"TAKE THAT!"

No, sir, YOU File.

Uh, fail.

Crap.

Sometimes covers are easier to license than originals. Not to mention that some are a lot more recent and have more usable masters.

Some interesting and fun covers for RB could be:

Live and Let Die - GnR
Dancing in the Streets - Van Halen
Pretty Woman - Van Halen
You Really Got Me - Van Halen
Revolution - Stone Temple Pilots
Black Magic Woman - Santana
Higher Ground - RHCP
Hush - Deep Purple
Mony Mony - Billy Idol
Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Great White
Smokin In The Boys Room - Motley Crue
I Love Rock and Roll - Joan Jett
Hazy Shade Of Winter - The Bangles
People Are Strange - Echo and the Bunnymen
La Bamba - Los Lobos (some people already have big problems with english, so spanish may be a nightmare)

This is not a complete list of great covers by any means (like many covers done by the Beatles and I have omitted Aerosmith for good reason), but I think some of these songs would be a great addition to the game.

La Bamba - Los Lobos (some people already have big problems with english, so spanish may be a nightmare)

Only if the mariachi section @ the end is intact. :)

I forgot about the ending. It would definately have to be included!
