Ever cover a song?

[Worm of Despite]

This is a question for all the musicians/band-people in the audience. Following songs I've covered/done renditions of:

"Shine On Brightly", by Procol Harum (my most complex cover, and I just did it tonight. Took a couple hours; consists of five layers of music: my voice/guitar, a second guitar, a piano, flute, and harmonica. Note: the piano and flute were played on a vintage 1980s Casio keyboard. Only the best.)

"If I Fell", by The Beatles (me singing while playing guitar w/ ambient background)

"Tomorrow Never Knows", by The Beatles (to give myself Lennon's distant/detached vocal, I recorded myself singing through a phone)

Musically, they're far inferior to the originals. But I deposited my own unique style/flavor, so I think they're at least interesting. I've probably tried to cover some others in the past, too, but can't recall. If anybody wants to hear my stuff, contact me on MSN at lordfoul_8@hotmail.com.

Hello, member of the now retired garage band "Stampeding Faces" here...

heheh...

Yah, we did a few covers:

"Glass Onion"- Beatles - I think we did a pretty 'ballsy' one here and it is my favourite of our covers.

"YYZ" - Rush - what Canadian boys with instruments have not tried at least one Rush song....

"Iron Man" - Black Sabbath - in this one, if I recall somewhere in buried tapes, we did this as a jazzy/lounge number...

Hmm....good grief. It would take me all day to list all the songs I've covered in the bands I've played in. Songs by the Beatles, Police, U2, Cars, 999, Cream, Hendrix, Santana, Supertramp, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Stevie Wander, Rolling Stones, Rush, Jefferson Airplane, Evanessence, Blondie, Vapors, DC Talk, Ojays, Jars of Clay, Faith Hill, Michael English, Styx, POD, Nickleback, Fountains of Wayne, and many, many others.

I've never liked playing covers so if I did I just played songs I really liked. Most of the covers I'd mention I doubt most of you would recognize. Songs by The Vapors, Romones, 999, FOGHAT, Cheap Trick, Generation X, XTC and so on. I recently tried my hand at Day Tripper. I think I'll stick with originals.

I've rehersed tons of covers..but playing live---there was Dirty Magic by the Offspring, and Paint it Black by the Stones.
