The Experimental Cover Bands

<< < (4/4)

Johnny C:
The Alan Parsons Project, my sources tell me, does an "interpretation" of "Edgar Allen Poe," or so I hear.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

La Creme:

--- Quote ---Inkubus Sukkubus' reworked covers of Kylie's 'Can't Get you Out of My Head' (Oh, the altered lyrics! The gothic choir chanting the na's!) and Cher's 'Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves'
The Anti-Nowhere Leagues cover of 'The Streets of London' (punking up songs before anyone had even thought of Hot Topic)

Inkubus Sukkubas are the fucking business. I only have one song of theirs, and I don't know the name. But it is sooo goddamed industrial and true gothy. Anti-Nowhere League are cah-razy.



--- Quote ---Devo's cover of Head like a Hole > then the original = my opinion.

I always wanted to do beatbox versions of Tom Waits songs.

Devo's covers of <cough cough> EVERY COVER DEVO DO! For that matter, everything Devo does. For that matter, I'm seein' them in August bitches! sorry. That was wanky.

Also, there's a Tom Waits Cover C.D. It's really shitty. It's just crappy bands like Archers of Loaf and 10,000 Maniacs ruining his classics. Also, some wanker (who just so happens to be a whitey) raps Pasties and a G-string. Poorly. THe only redeeming features of the CD are the Violent Femmes covering "Step Right Up" and Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks covering "Better Off Without A Wife". Tom is the shit. I wanna do a metal version of "God's Away On Business" or a proggy Gordian Knot-like version of " 'Taint No Sin" or a death-polka cover of "Going Out West".

KharBevNor:
Inkubus Sukkubus' almost purely elecronic approach to quite heavily folk-based (but totally gothed up) music is so, so, awesome.

I also totally forgot their awesome cover of 'Paint it Black'! Really heavy and full of keys and uber-processed guitars.
