Covers/Remix Discussion

[Ikagura]

Usually I don't like vocal versions that much but:

Ys Songs of Zemeth: Pandora (based on Quatera Woods from Ys VI the Ark of Napishtim):

Twin Memories (based on Pop'n Twinbee's first level):

「JxJ|READY!」- READY! (Based on Azure Blue World... For Emerald Coast from Sonic Adventure):

YES! Finally found it! This was another cover I wanted to post, but could not find. You will NEVER hear act 4-2 the same after listening. There are many covers of this song that are underwhelming, but give this one a listen! The bends and fills, incredible! And the solo is so perfect (epic begins at 0:56) and fitting: you FEEL Ryu's determination with every note! Brings tears to my eyes ;_; ;_;

One of the comments made me lol, I guess a cover is one of their most popular songs? And there might be truth to that, as I don't know this band other than this song >_>

Emily Browning - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

Manson cover is still my preference, but that one is great. I love the building intensity, and thought it was going to explode during last verse (wtf!? crank up that gnarly guitar you were building up with!), but then it kind of runs out of steam, at least for me ;_;

The original was done by James Brown, but I feel the Residents does a great job at really hammering home the fear and power of it. Out of all the Residents tracks, this one is more of a legitimately good song than a "I like it because it's different".

This blackened darkwave cover of The Cure's classic is just as good as the original imo

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Johnny Cash cover of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt". I liked the original NIN song, but there is a certain oomph that the Johnny Cash cover has over the original.
