Covers that are better than the original song

[Sethomas]

Das Model - Kraftwerk
Coverer- Rammstein
Even if you hate Rammstein, you have to admit that the original one sucked worse than the cover.

Doesn't seem like you folks are willing to open up to pig, but I think the jazzy cover he did of Head Like A Hole stomps the original into the ground.

[sloth]

raining blood - vader
original artist - slayer

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Pictures of Matchstick Men- Ozzy Osbourne and Type O Negative

Yes, because death metal bands that seem to sound just like any other death metal band are the pinnacle of music.

Ain't Talkin' about love by The Minutemen
original Artist: Van Halen

[noob3]

ARE YOU READY? I SAID, ARE YOU FUCKING READY?

Haha, how long do you think Pig has been around? Nearly 20 years. Raymond himself has been doing various stuff with industrial bands since the early 80s. Including Einsturzende Neubauten, Foetus, and Mona Mur.

If anything he is a Foetus ripoff, I just like to think he does what he does a bit better than Thirlwell.

You really can't compare Manson to anything, that guy is a joke. I hope Tim Skold get's the hell out of there. You are the first person I have ever heard compare Pig and Manson, more people compare him to NIN. Even then, I don't think there's much of a comparison.

Back on topic.
Band: Type O Negative
Cover: Every cover they've done

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Ray Charles rendition of "Ol' Man River". You can't fucking match Ray. Fuck the Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra versions. There is only Ray.

Also
I heard it through the Grapevine- Marvin Gaye
orginal- Smokey Robinson & the Miracles (I think)
