Music! What are you listening to now?

And Beautiful Lie by 30 Seconds to Mars

And Beautiful Lie by 30 Seconds to Mars

That was horrible though.

 

[Kvinto]

Two great songs: the first became the most famous biker's song and was covered numerous times, while the second with it's ambiguous lyrics (Eric Clapton describes it as an anti-drug song but you still may hear what you want to) and thrilling riff became one of the best songs by one of the all-time greatest guitarists:

Steppenwolf - Born to be wild

Eric Clapton - Cocaine

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Green Day, 30 secs to Mars, Steppenwolf, and Clapton all great.

Anyone heard this one? Don't know much about the band and their other works, but I like this one at least... Argent - Hold your head up

Cocaine is a JJ Cale song.. EC does nothing to it of note..

I heard, mostly because this band released the original version of "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to You" covered by Kiss

Argent - God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to You

as well as "I Shot the Sheriff" is Bob Marley song. but what is common between these two songs is the fact that cover versions (by EC) were more popular than the original

edit:

Bob Marley - I Shot The Sheriff

Eric Clapton - I Shot the Sheriff

True but popularity doesn't make EC telling what it is about or the sound of the guitar licks his. The JJ Cale version was popular enough that EC should have left it alone. I am sure there are Bob Marley fans who feel the same way about I shot the sheriff

Reminds me of people saying.. "don't let it bring you down" is the best song Annie Lennox ever wrote..

i understand your point, imo EC was supposed to do that (tell what it's about) because not doing so he might be accused of a drug promotion.

who? where? as a big Niel Young fan i would say... ... ... i would rather say nothing...

 

[redtreviso]

I guess Annie Lennox might get an exception considering the difference in time, but there are many fairly well known songs covered by bigger named artists that may not do the song justice compared to the original, yet people fawn over them like they have never heard the songs before, and many times they haven't..

Tom Petty did this and it surely outsold the original

TP version

also better than the later cover

[Kvinto]

Continuing the theme of covers and their influence on the original:

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - I Love Rock N' Roll

if Joan Jett didn't cover this song then I would probably never discovered the band called Arrows which created the original version:

Arrows - I Love Rock N Roll

and some other great music:

Arrows - Touch Too Much

Arrows - My Last Night With You

Any Journey fan?

 

[Kvinto]

Small Faces - All Or Nothing

The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

The Cranberries – Dreams... group posted by Kvinto, but I like this song too.

Dr Dog – Heart it races

...also Matt & Kim, the Yeah Yeahs posted by liftman on page 142 are good

 

[meat puppet]

thurston and kim are apparently splitting up, would be logical if that's that for sonic youth too. oh well. happy to have seen them live.

shadow of a doubt
death valley 69

[just some guy]

right not going to read the whole thread.

will post a song of the music on high rotation and you can go from there if you want.

Fllet Foxes Grown Ocean

The temper trap - Sweet Disposition

Josh Pyke the lighthouse song

Children Collide - My Eagle

The Naked And Famous - Punching In A Dream

Also the stone roses are Back - if you never heard them

Fools Gold

 

[The Howling Fantods]

Dr Dog – Heart it races

Speaking of covers, that's a cover of the original by Architecture in Helsinki. It's difficult to say if one is better than the other, but it adds something different to the song, as a cover should.

Earlier (about 1-2 month ago) i've posted representatives of the modern Australian hard rock - the band called Wolfmother and completely forgot about the other Aussie band which fills this criteria.
So, Airbourne - an Aussie band formed by two brothers Joel (lead guitar, vocals) and Ryan (drums) O'Keeffe with a music generally called "rock n roll" - that makes a comparison with AC/DC pretty inevitable, though apart from AC/DC Airbourne's music is quite influenced by such bands as Rose Tattoo or Motorhead. Comparing to Wolfmother Airbourne is more metal sounded, but whether it is good or bad depends on the personal taste.
So, one of my favourite bands of the 21 century :

Airbourne - Diamond in the Rough

Airbourne - No Way But The Hard Way

Airbourne - Runnin' Wild

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Thrice - In Exile
