I like this guy's covers of various songs on his harp guitars:

I also like how Wolf Hoffman from Accept incorporated classical music into his solos.

I love OCMS, but wagon wheel is played out. Pains me to say that.

OCMS wasn’t the cover of wagon wheel….Darius was

 

[ExWrench]

If you like Les Claypool, his cover of Amos Moses is fun:



Definitely not better than Jerry Reed's, but a good cover.

 

[TRINDU]

I stand corrected I thought Bob Dylan was the original

I think Bob Dylan only wrote a portion of the song wagon wheel, then old crow added the rest of the lyrics, then Darius made it famous, I will stand by the best version is the OCMS one.

Yep.

Dylan recorded the chorus in 1973; Secor added verses 25 years later

Wasnt really a "song" until OCMS.

Fan of Primus, that was awful.

 

[Pat McRotch]

I find it humorous you post this AND live with your dad.

Omen - Radar Love

As strange as it may seem, I've always liked White Lion's version of Radar Love:



Damn the video is fucking gay though. That song always reminded me of the movie Vanishing Point.

Skimmed the thread, didn't see this one:

Here’s one from my high school years.

Forgot about this Diamondhead cover by Metallica.

R. But agreed. Good R.


Corey Taylor covering Metallica. Definitely a jam.



Chris Stapleton covers Metallica in Chris Stapleton style.

Clutch Fortunate Son

Ummm, NOPE

I am not familiar with that group but I like that song so figured I would give it a try, that song did nothing for me. It seems like the lead singer is just yelling/shouting, not really carrying a tune. I have no desire to listen to any of their other stuff.

Jin and Juice, snoop dogg originally. But I like the Gourds version.

Clutch is seriously awesome. You should. Listen to Beale Street to Oblivion.

I’d love to see them play Electric Worry live.

 

[FleshEater]

I’d love to see them play Electric Worry live.

I can’t remember if they played that when we saw them or not. They are WAY better live than on album. I was impressed with how awesome Primus was that night.

Clutch does it better than CCR did.

Five Finger Death Punch - Mama Said Knock You Out


Motorhead - Sympathy For The Devil

Just thought of another great. Have to turn this one up when it comes on:

 

[Aggie06]

Doesn’t change my opinion that it’s still played out.

 

[mjlogan88]

Your loss. They have a very broad range of music. Not everyone likes all of it, but I havent met anyone that doesnt like some of it

 

[OutlawRider]

Doesn’t change my opinion that it’s still played out.

Won't argue there. I like some of there stuff, but I also don't listen to them often so it doesn't get overplayed for me. I will change the radio when I hear Darius start singing.

Just thought of another great. Have to turn this one up when it comes on:

What is funny, it is thought that the song dated to the civil war. Black Betty was the name of a gun and there was an offspring of that gun (which was Black Betty's child). Bam da lam was the noise the gun made firing. Take this for what you will, some crap I had to do for a class in college researching music and it's meaning. It may just be wikipedia, I don't remember.

 

[Slander]

Thier banned version of summer breeze is awesome as well. Hell all their covers kick ass!

I dig Spiderbait's version as well, and thought Ram Jam's was the OG .

Never saw their video version 'til today, but here it is:
