Favorite Remade Songs

[friedkarma]

What songs proved to be better when they were performed by someone else? List the remakes that you find to be better than the originals.

All Along the Watchtower - Hendrix and U2 (to a lesser degree) rock this tune better than Dylan.

[Scotracer]

Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Bullet for my Valentine.

Technically, there is very little difference, I just prefer the singing style and guitar work of Bullet's cover.

Oops I did it again - Children of Bodom

Hilarious :laugh:

The only ones I can think of right now.

[Don_Rico]

All along the watchtower - Hendrix
Imagine - A Perfect Circle

[tobli]

Enjoy the Silence - Lacuna Coil

[7thdeadlysin]

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold the World, much better than David Bowie's imo.

Hurt - Johnny Cash, better than the NIN version, and Trent said so himself.

None, I hate remakes. There just not right...
