SAGecko Posted November 25, 2014 Share Aaaaah David Gilmour..... Surely, along with Roger Waters wrote some of the most memorable, soul-stirring music ever! You just CANNOT mistake his playing style for anyone else. Edited November 25, 2014 by SAGecko Wyatt Earp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted November 25, 2014 Share For me the pinnacle of covers as flattery to oneself. Derek and the Dominos which Clapton was a member of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSquiIVLhrQ And then this, insane really to say the least. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y9T15kAF8U SAGecko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted November 25, 2014 Share Careless whisper. Seether nailed itinteresting thing here is that a few years back Shaun morgan Welgemoed commented that they still considered themselves an SA band, even though they're US based and only play a handful of shows if that per year here. He went on to say that they're a little miffed that they had at that stage never won a SAMA award - whereas wonderboom got plenty with cover albums! well they now have SAMAs and recorded covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted November 25, 2014 Share I think this is the greatest thread I've ever started!!!(Most of)These are awesome!! I'm in retail and don't spend much time in my office, but between 6pm and 7pm it's my cash up time and now thanks to you guys, specially Anton, I've got tons of great choons... thanks... keep them coming. yeah some great stuff that can be found on youtube. For me there are a few categories of 'covers'. Live versions of someone else's song. These are either one offs (hey we felt like playing this song) or staples that a band adopts. Actually recorded covers - I think in the pre digital era this was more common as there was a need to quickly find B-sides for your next single and it was either reworking material that never made the album or just record your take on someone else's song. something like this, the results weren't always great - nowadays the barrier to entry for recording a song is so much lower, any tom dick and harry can put something up on youtube. most of them won't even go through a mixing desk. either way it's been a great exploration of new music, even if plenty of it is old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted November 25, 2014 Share some artists are just so damn unique that anything they do gets their fingerprint. someone like Eddie vedder has almost stepped out of his Pearl Jam box to become a solo artist of note on his own. He just kills covers in his live shows, but i think he only does 'one offs' on special occasions, don't think he would ever record one (could be wrong here). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPyvNUwhQoI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yOifFvYW2o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHBSvpzI7Tw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhrmkCW6Ph8 Storm 78, DIPSLICK and deanbean 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted November 25, 2014 Share on a totally different track, the genius of Lonesome Dave Ferguson never quite can be captured by recording it. He's bekfluitjied his way into some classic tracks.\ with his one man band looping machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQd3PFXvvBo&list=UUSoyl99t-n6uoGeOrS33j1w&index=45 go see him live when he's in town.(based overseas mainly now) Hairy and DIPSLICK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymann Posted November 25, 2014 Share http://youtu.be/Us-TVg40ExM Not strictly a cover, but still a damn fine version. And a stroke of mixing genius too... Pants Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
