Shorty Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Bet neither of you have ever watched the original BSG. (Not that it makes you any less correct) (Also there's way too much airbrushing in that picture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Much better than the original. I prefer the original. It was always quite a distinctive pop song, which is better than a generic rock song (imo). (I like lots of Marilyn Manson stuff, so it's nothing against him.)

Pancake Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Not just because they're my fave band, but... Much more punchy than the original, which sounds a bit flat in comparison (and has inexplicable seagull noises in it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxigen_Waste Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Much better than the original. I quite like manson, but that's absolutely terrible. It's the murdering of a classic, if we're being quite honest. Sounds more like those crappy Murderdolls than Manson. Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't say it's necessarily better than the original, but a fantastic cover indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxigen_Waste Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Damn it, I ran out of thanks! Also, regarding feeling good, here's my favourite cover of it (I never heard the true original, so in my mind, it's the Nina Simone version): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Are you insane, woman? Whaaa?? He sings it in monotone in the original! Not cool. And wtf is with the seagulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokong Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Too fraking right Ash, I was gonna go with some BSG loving but you were here first. The Caprica cancellation still hurts me deep though. If we're sticking with TV for a mintute the new "V" I think is pretty awesome too. Hope it returns soon. Musically I am very much aggainst covers, if someone can't write their own music they are in the wrong bussiness I say. However there are a couple of exceptions, Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower (which according to the newer BSG was actually originally written over 152,000 years ago ) but that was already mentioned. One other song whose cover version I really like is Sugarcoma's version of "You Drive Me Crazy" by Britney Spears... mainly cuz it takes a bad song and makes it good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Whaaa?? He sings it in monotone in the original! Not cool. And wtf is with the seagulls. It's synthpop, cake! Monotone is the name of the game!!! Remember Joy Division? Talk Talk are still infulential giants to this day, while No Doubt just keep fading into obscurity at an ever more sluggish pace, come on!!!! One other song whose cover version I really like is Sugarcoma's version of "You Drive Me Crazy" by Britney Spears... mainly cuz it takes a bad song and makes it good Jesus, I haven't heard that in 10 years or so. I bought their CD at the time. It's a good thing we mature as time goes on... that manages to be even worse than the original, dear god. The only real purpose it could serve is to have a laugh. And that's what Ten Masked Men are for, this is just terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suits a more feisty vocal! Actually, i prefer feisty vocals generally, so i guess i was always gonna prefer the ND version. Oh PFFFFF to the ND diss! I don't care about their chart positions, they are brill! They take their time with their albums, cos they don't do fillers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Oh Goafer, for shame. How could you think that that is better than the original? Plus, it's in English. Sounds much better in the original German version by Nena. As for what I think is better than the original, Placebo's cover of Running Up That Hill. I just don't like the original version but really like this one. Plus, I know Paj will get all defensive over the Kate Bush original and start moaning so thought it would be humorous :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds much better in the original German version by Nena. The last verse is in German if that helps? And whilst we're on the subject of controversy: (I don't think it's better BTW).

Also, regarding feeling good, here's my favourite cover of it (I never heard the true original, so in my mind, it's the Nina Simone version): Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. I always forget about it, but when it comes on my iTunes, I'm just so struck. Best version I've heard, at least. --- I half love the original since it sounds like an insane old white woman fallen upon hard time, but Bjork's is the better track. Still dislike that it's her most well-known song, since she even thought of it as a novelty song herself (which it is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
