Modernized versions of old songs
« on: August 15, 2010, 05:43:32 AM »
In this thread we post youtube videos, etc. to covers of old songs that were redone in a modernized way.

Here are my favorites:
Any screamo band doing "Toxic" by Britney Spears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rcbFoKJHes
Alien Ant Farm doing "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDl9ZMfj6aE
and Filter doing "Happy Together" by the Turtles. https://www.usaupload.net/d/lwe393gvqx9

I've always liked Metallica's versions of 'Whiskey in the Jar' and 'Turn the Page'. They're both not shockingly different from the originals, but with a beefed up Metallica sound. Lovin' it.

I always loved this version of Red Barchetta from the Working Man tribute album - JLB on vocals and he fucking nails it.

Came in here to post exactly those. I actually like Metallica's versions more than the originals to be honest.

One more, Metallica's cover of Astronomy

I did an awesome symphonic metal version of Kashmir that rocks. No uploads though.
