The Painman Reveals His Top 10 Favorite Cover Songs

Frank Pain — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:20:33 +0000

When I first got into radio, (big) bands weren't really doing covers. Yeah, every so often one would pop up, but they weren't as evident as they are today. When the tidal wave of these big bands doing covers first hit, I was adamantly opposed to the idea of cover songs. To me, they were for small bands who play the bars on the weekend. Yeah, that sounds a bit harsh, but it's what I honestly felt. Then, I finally talked to a couple of these bigger artists about their decision to do covers and they resoundingly replied that they were paying homage to the great bands and songs that influenced them. That's when I shed the opposition to covers.

So I was perusing around on Youtube listening to various Marilyn Manson cover songs and realized this guy has done a ton of cover songs. Way more than I ever knew. Obviously, we’re all familiar with Tainted Love, Sweet Dreams, Personal Jesus, and Highway to Hell, but did you know the guy (in one form [...]

We hear covers all the time. Some great, some terrible. But, have you heard a rock cover song performed by 2 bad ass cellists (cello players)? 2 Cellos is a band of…2 guys playing cellos. Simple enough? Yes, maybe in name, but I highly doubt what they perform is simple by any means. Here they [...]

First and foremost, I am still mad that Coal Chamber broke up. Today’s second hand song comes from Coal Chamber, with the help of the Prince of Darkness. “Shock the Monkey” was originally written by Peter Gabriel back in 1982. Then in 1999, Coal Chamber covered the tune for their album “Chamber Music”. I love [...]

I was surfing around on YouTube and found a cover Limp Bizkit did at Woodstock '99. I knew they covered "Thieves" (Ministry) but completely forgot about it. Say what you want about Limp Bizkit and/or cover songs, personally I dig them both. You also have to give credit to a front man and band that can command 200,000 like they did.

Second Hand Song of the Day – The Gourds

My daily dose of cover tunes is not really rock, but they’re all Texan, and that’s fine in my book. Out of Austin, The Gourds covered Snoop Dogg’s “Gin and Juice” many years ago and if you were to see them live you’d see that it’s still a big hit for them and their fans. [...]
