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)

[Trash]

Coverer - Cannibal Corpse

Song - Confessions

Coveree - Possessed

I always skip the original one while listening to The Eyes of Horror, but Cannibal Corpse's version is one of my favorite songs.

[Angryhydralisk]

Coverer: Sleep

Song: Snowblind

Coveree: Black Sabbath

Seriously, even Ozzy Osbourne said he was blown away by this cover. I thought the Sabbath version was phenomenal but Sleep does the impossible. IMO they out-Sabbath-ed Sabbath.

Coverer: Sunn O)))

Song: For Whom the Bell Tolls

Coveree: Metallica

Just because they renamed it as F.W.T.B.T. (I Dream of Lars Ulrich Going Through the Bus Window Instead Of My Mystikal Master Kliff Burton)
