Cant stand that noise. Lets see how hard you can shout in a song pish. The melancholy over the queens passing over played that and a hell of a lot of other rock ballads where i never want to hear them again.

Think i posted this in the YouTube thread but here you go anyway...popped up again recently on my feed.
Bloody impressive that it's just one guy too! Doesn't show the drummer, but judging from his other vids it's also him playing.

Another good cover of Metallica's 'Nothing Else Matters'. Not better than the original, just different - for a different mood perhaps.

Ghost have done a decent cover of Jesus He Knows Me.
I haven't linked to the video, it's most definitely NSFW. Search for it at your own risk - you've been warned

Ok not so sure you could actually beat the original, but this is good

As a kid I was a massive Elton John fan and Border Song was my fave.
Just played it on YouTube and this cover version popped up.
Wowsers. But he should leave off the fat old birds

I'm sat in a Jamaican theme bar, they've just played Max Romeo - chase the devil (according to my phone).
I never knew Prodigy's Out of Space was a cover!

With Sly Stone's demise still fresh, I found myself playing Magazine's cover of 'Thankyou (falletinme be mice elf agin)' again... Not saying it's better but it's a very interesting take.
