Blue on black - Five Finger Death Punch






My band played the Kenny Wayne Shepherd (original version) for years.
I sang it and really enjoyed the song.
Then I heard the FFDP version and I fell in love with it.

“I fought the Law “ covered by The Clash. I also think The Jams cover of The Beatles “And your bird can sing” is a great cover.

Cant leave this out

Apart from the obvious big well known songs, one of my faves is No Doubt's cover of It's My Life by Talk Talk. Personally I think the song is much better suited to a female voice.

Pretty much any cover done by Garth
Cash doing "Hurt"
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts - "I love Rock and Roll"

 

[Scorp]

a lefty guitarist? Say it ain't so!

"All Along the Watchtower" - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Either this or Johnny Cash's rendition of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt". That one absolutely gives me goosebumps, and when you think of the circumstances surrounding it, it even hits you harder.

Garth? Pfft. Garth can go chase his royalties. That money grubber lost me as a fan when he tried to collect money from the used CD market decades ago. He's dead to me.
