savagegrace26 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I kind of like that 9/11 Bravado cover by Paradigm Blue. Not more than the original though. Most of Dream Theater's covers are good if you mute the vocals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 I don't think I actually like any covers more than the originals, but there are several that I like now more than the originals, usually just because they are newer to me or different than I expected. Some favorites include: Subdivisions: Anita AthavaleSubdivisions: Jacob MoonThe Spirit of Radio: Selina MartinMission: Working Man (not really, but I love it)Mystic Rhythms: Creosote (the only one I actually may like more than the original)La Villa Strangiato: Steve MorseAnthem: Anthrax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagegrace26 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I can't stand that Jacob Moon Subdivsions cover. Yes, but your taste in music sucks, so :D Maybe it's from looking at his face in the video but it's very drawn out. If he condensed it a little it would've worked better but it didn't need to be six minutes. He could've cut a chorus out or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Analog Kid covered by Jack Russell, Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy and others Out of this world awesome. The vocals are killer and Sheehan really does a number on the track. Excellent!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Most of Dream Theater's covers are good if you mute the song entirely. Fixed it for you. In all seriousness though, I love Dream Theater. But them covering songs ware a disgrace to their legacy and I'm glad they along with its drummer who thought it was a great idea to cover albums in their entirety are gone for good. That said, I don't like any Rush covers more than the originals, but I really liked Jacob Moon's cover of Subdivisions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I really meant "good". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Our own Brandon Dyke wrote an acoustic cover of In The End which I thought was fantastic. Steve Morse's take on La Villa Strangiato was also really good. I have never heard, and will probably never hear a cover of a Rush song that I would prefer to the original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what a sped up version of this cover would sound like... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
