I loved that cover. I loved nearly all of the covers on that album, actually.

Probably. I don't think TOOL was back together yet. But the dude on the radio said it was TOOL when he played it and that was the only time I heard it :] So yeah. His fault haha
That was a horrible cover. With the video, anyway. It was originally John Lennon dreaming of a better world, and they turned it into "Americans are pigs" crap. John Lennon must have been spinning in his grave.
I will admit that I've never seen the video (and I'll add that I have no intention of ever doing so, because I hate music videos), but it doesn't surprise me that those guys would take that approach.

Oasis also did a really cool version of David Bowie's Heroes.

"All Along The Watchtower" - Hendrix covering Bob Dylan
"Blinded by the Light" - Manfred Mann covering Bruce Springsteen
"Twist and Shout" - The Beatles covering some obscure blues dude nobody's ever heard of
I'll never get tired of saying this songs on this kind of thread:
Jhonny Cash's Hurt and Apocalyptica's Nothing Else Matters. Also Sonata Artica's I Want Out
Android Lust's cover of Slice of Life is quite amazing.
Mad World has seen countless covers, most of which are better than the original.
Pretty much any Apocalyptica cover of Metalica's songs are, in my opinion, much better. But this is more or less fueled by the fact that I do not care for Metalica, and have a fondness for the genius found in Apocalyptica.

Lillasyster's cover of Umbrella is far superior to any cover of that song ever.Also, McFly (British pop band) did a cover of 'Umbrella' which was oh so much better than the original.

You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!
Yeah, Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" is brilliant.
Agreed.Lillasyster's cover of Umbrella is far superior to any cover of that song ever.Also, McFly (British pop band) did a cover of 'Umbrella' which was oh so much better than the original.

Also, Children Of Bodom covering "Oops! I Did It Again" by Britney Spears. It was meant as a joke, but it is actually SO much better.

That's the whole point. Trying to show that the US has the power to make this world great, but the resources and energy they have seem to be wasted on Hollywood and war.
AND it IS A Perfect Circle, 110%, from eMOTIVE.
