Lorraine Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I heard a song this morning that had originally been done by an early sixties' band (sorry - I honestly can't remember what song it was - sad, isn't it?) and thought that no remake could be better than the original. That got me thinking which remakes of songs have been better than the original. I could only think of one: I was going to also say this one but then thought that, at least to me, the original was better. How about you? Which remake is better to you than the original? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) I like Johnny Winter's version of 'Jumpin' Jack Flash'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqC7sIK9Xsc Johnny Winter also had heard a demo of 'Silver Train' by The Rolling Stones and recorded a cover of it for his album Still Alive and Well in 1973. http://youtu.be/VojeFLos3Uc His album's version was released even before Goats Head Soup. Edited February 10, 2021 by 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 fixed link for Silver Train -- first link said "Video Unavailable" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 What do you think, Lorraine? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTTsY-oz6Go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X6e7uctAww I think I was about 11 or 12 when the one by The Kinks came out. No one beats the Van Halen version though. Even Dave sounds good! :lol: I had a dream about Eddie last week. Don't ask me why I dream about him. When he was married to Val, I used to dream about them a lot. How weird am I. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLV4_xaYynY This re-make is the definitive version. Even Dylan agrees.It is definitive and I heard Jimi`s version well before I heard Bob`s, but I like Bob`s more now. Jimi`s outro was the first time I heard a great wah-wah solo and that`s pure genius.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
