What are you views on artists copying previous songs or redoing a already released songs....

A dance remix was brought out of Alice Cooper - Poisen one of my all time fav songs.

Somebody turned The Killers - Somebody Told Me Dance

The orignal Waiting for a Star To Fall sung by Boy Meets Girl was released, now if you sing it people think you listen to dance music.

Most people actually think these songs are original, i hate copys, a few people have tried to rerelease Queen which i cant stand...

G4 tried and failed

Copies just sound wrong there never as good as the originals, but there are exeptions I think like Green Day with I Faught The Law. But when Avril Lavigne did Green Day's Basket Case That sound Awful. Dunno if this makes any sense. Oh Well!

I think Greenday absolutely killed I Fought The Law but meh, just my opinion.

[.:OGGY:.]

I think these copy artists try to be as good and say 'omg i just love (the opriginal artist) he/she/they are my idol' but they try do it. I for one respect artists who write there own songs.

No Doubt's It's My Life is better than Talk Talk's IMO. The drums in Talk Talk's sound like a suitcase

I agree with that one. Gwen is well fit in that vid too.

I disagree, but its only oppinion.

I dont have a problem with people copying, i dont like it when they do remixes, im sure u'v heard of nancy sinatra - my baby shot me down all remixed and weird, i hate that.

i like depeche mode's personal jesus, but not mansons newer version.

I definitely agree about that Depeche Mode one.

Although i do prefer Mansons Tainted Love.

Manson also copyed personal jesus... teh original was like country styled. He made it more rocky

You would say that though, wouldn't you? Let's not start another argument.

Covers are generally cra'p nowadays. Especially those god damn dance covers, they really **** me off. Dance DJ's automatically kill a rock song when they cover it with their decks.
I agree with you there Joey. Classics should be left alone unless the artists covering the song is extremely good. Manson's done a good job covering Personal Jesus and Tainted Love (There's probably others), even though i'm not a big fan of his. He made the songs his.
An artist that should never be covered is Nirvana. Unfortunately Evanescence did, god, that s'ucked so bad.

I'm not fully against artists covering songs, but I am against dance DJ's "remixing" songs.

Anyway, my favourite cover of all time is Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower, even though the original was amazing.
