I actually prefer the AAF version to the original.

Is this one of those threads where we "ironically" list bad examples ? Cause those are awful massacring of pretty good songs. Especially alien ant farm just not getting a song but covering it anyway.

TMBG doing their song Birdhouse in Your Soul.
vs.
Lemon Demon does a strange take on it.

Iron Maiden's Hallowed be thy Name.
vs.
Cradle of Filth's interpretation.

Scorpions doing Still Loving You.
vs.
Sonata Arctica's version of the song.

Honestly, I don't get the "purist" rage that seems to build up around covers. "They ruined the song" is such a stupid way of putting it. There's a bad cover, and they can and sometimes will do a song poor justice, but it's never bad to hear another take on something. (I actually prefer SA's version of Still Loving You, and depending on mood generally lean towards Cradle's Hallowed by thy Name.)

"Getting a song"

"Getting"

What? I only care about what sounds good. Both songs in the above case were good but I prefer the infusion of some rock.

I like Sonata Arctica's cover of I Want Out quite a bit.

Blind Guardian's cover of To France is a great listen.

Also Van Halen's version of You Really Got Me. With Eruption in front, of course.

And that's all I can really remember right now, but both awesome!

Yeah I prefer AAFs version of Smooth Criminal too.

Only other one I can think of right now though is Firewinds cover of Maniac which I recently discovered.

Honestly i'm not sure what's to "get" about a song such as Smooth Criminal, i mean, the AAF version basically is just a "speed up" version of the original with a bit more guitar up front... I do tend to enjoy faster songs more than slow ones so it feels right for me.

Specially since that song is only full in meaning on it's video clip, which by itself was already an homage to Fred Astaire and his movies

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuJxY...eature=related

So, ok, the AAF version looses that connection, but their intent was never really to make an Homage to Astaire or even to MJ (in a certain way) but just to give a new "current" beat to an Excellent song.
