5 Great Cover Songs!
Just like movie remakes, cover songs can be really tricky. Some are fantastic while some are truly god awful that should have never even considered “paying homage” to the original. But when they nail it, oh boy is it something special. Look at the remakes of John Carpenter’s The Thing or Dawn Of The Dead, films that took elements of the original and created something new and exciting. Films like these got me thinking, “What are some of my favorite cover songs? What are songs that payed homage to a classic while creating something original?” So I put together five cover songs that I feel met these requirements for your enjoyment. Head on below for my 5 Great Cover Songs! READ MORE
HURT And Smile Empty Soul Cover Alice In Chains’ “No Excuses”
Smile Empty Soul and current tourmates HURT have recorded a cover of the classic Alice In Chains song “No Excuses”, which originally appeared on the Jar Of Flies EP. According to Flint, MI’s Banana 101.5, who premiered the track, the track will be made available for download at some point in the future with the proceeds likely going to a benefit or charity. You can listen to the track here.
Personally, I wasn’t a big fan of the cover. Then again, I’m a big fan of AiC, so it’s pretty hard to please me in that regard. Still, I can tell that they remained true to the source material and the very fact that they covered the song shows that they have a passion and respect for the band. Just not my cup o’ tea.
