    "no seymour - no tone ... know seymour - know tone!"

    Is it not the glory of the people of America that, whilst they have paid a decent regard to the opinions of former times and other nations, they have not suffered a blind veneration for antiquity, for custom, or for names, to overrule the suggestions of their own good sense, the knowledge of their own situation, and the lessons of their own experience?" - James Madison - Federalist #14

    I really like the work that the Kolacny brothers have done with The Scala Choir in covering contemporary music. Their cover of this U2 song is particularly emotional and haunting:



    Nirvana:



    Placebo:



    And Radiohead:

    Every love that made me lose my reasoning. Every chord that made my conscience ache. Every day spent counting hours. Well, none of them comes close to singing back a song inside my head.

    I remember calloused hands and paint-stained jeans, and I remember safe-as-houses self-belief.

    This is my favorite of all time, because the cover is so badass. It makes me remember that attitude is everything.

    Remember this song?! The POPPIEST POP YOU EVER POPPED!

    ORIGINAL:


    COVER:


    I love this cover because it's so poppy in the first place, that pop-punking it makes it super pop-donkulous.

    ...BOOM!!!

    If you haven't heard about ICP's "Miracles," Google it --- it's kind of a phenomenon --- it was so bad that it was funny and everyone on the internet passed it around, wondering if the ICP guys are really, really dumb, or actually hilarious geniuses.

    Judas Priest did a few covers, but the best of all is "Diamonds & Rust"

    Awesome industrial cover of a Dolly Parton song? Hell yeah...



    Biffy Clyro are one of my favourite bands and they do some really good covers as B-sides. Here's a few of them. The really cool thing is that I don't like the original versions of these songs but I love what Biffy have done with them...

    Rihanna:



    Weezer:



    Franz Ferdinand:

    Same band I posted doing The Fray's "Cable Car (Over My Head)"

    3'scompany here turned me on to them --- God forbid we have a pop band with a metal right hand and drummer

    Funny thing is, that sounds just like any other ADTR song
