5 Covered It
by Walter Price
So this Ed Sheeran did this hillarious bit on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (I think legally we have to say the entire show title) where he did Covers of Iron Maiden, Limp Bizkit and a rap song I’m not familiar with but cute just the same. (Watch it HERE)
And I thought it a good idea to travel some of the best or at least a handful of my favorite covers and one guy covering his own track and it got a whole bag of weird. First the good.
Foo Fighters & Zac Brown – “War Pigs”
Original: Black Sabbath 1970
Coheed & Cambria – “A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours”
Original: The Smiths 1987
Metallica – “The Prince”
Original: Diamond Head 1980
Van Halen – “Dancin’ In The Street”
Original: Martha and the Vandellas 1965
Johnny Cash – “Hurt”
Original: Nine Inch Nails 1994
And then there is this…
Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts – “Vasoline”
Original: Stone Temple Pilots 1994
Cover Something…
