Another electro
Lucretia, and like most covers, let down by the vocals :

The vocals and sensibility go without saying when you see the band names and the choice of songs, but I like the arrangement on these. There are parts in both covers where the vocalist unwinds a little and immediately sounds better.

This version of Valentine by JadeAd has grown on me since they posted it for Valentine's Day (aww). It has a bit of a low-fi 80's Kas Product -y feel to it :

Not too bad once it gets going.
Not so fond of the keyboard sound though

Another fairly surreal week for YouTube covers.
Next time someone tells me
can't sing, I might play them this abomination :

Another band who seem to have it sorted until the vocals come in are The Visionary Heads :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slWirKN0g2I Likewise Aureah's
Lucretia :

It all makes Rock Fantasma's arrangement
Torch sound even more impressive (once they get going) :

That's good. I really like Torch. Vocalist there even has a bit of a "yelp" going on.

Which Heartland band was it that did Far Parade?

Curious as to how he managed to rob it of any tune whatsoever

I don't believe I've ever heard a good Sisters cover. There have been some absolute abomimations where "This Corrosion" is concerned, from the industrial version played by Germans with bagpipes to the bad Finnish Pete Steele impersonator from the Shixty Nine Eyesh and a gaggle of emo's dumping on it.

Nonetheless, they are not all Abrimaal. And even he did it for a very good reason which was not only entertaining, to say the least. ...

The Supersuckers did a fabulous cover of Afterhours. I really love the Lambchop cover of This Corrosion.
The problem is that most TSOM covers are done by goth/industrial bands, and most goth/industrial bands are terrible. Not all of them are. But most of them. Especially the ones that think covering the Sisters is a good idea.

& don't forget
Raf's cover of Summer or FGG's Afterhours.
Both damn fine renditions I'd say

I have to say that I enjoy most of the covers, even if some only to serve what a unique voice Eldritch has, or the subtleties of the arrangements of the originals. And as for Peter Steele, Carl McCoy or Jyrkki, there are far worse singers they could have copied and at least they have all given the Sisters sound and image their own unique twist, unlike many of the shorter lived copyists. And surely even at your most curmudgeonly,
@Dewinter, you must enjoy the likes of Nouvelle Vague's
Marian or some of the other versions pretty universally acclaimed in this thread. What I find most amazing is that twenty years since the last release, there seems to be at least one new cover a week appearing on YouTube, often by people who hadn't even started school when UTG came out. In the same way that they were one of the most bootLegged bands in their heyday, TSOM seem to be one of the most covered bands of their generation these days, which gives some external validation of their legacy.

I must confess
I really enjoyed Lambchop cover and all the Country or Irish style covers i've heard like Mr. Irish Basterd

I do remember driving my father to spluttering fury by saying I preferred FYC and The Pet Shop Boys covers of certain Elvis tracks to the original, so horses for courses! But for me covers only have any value if they improve on the original, a better singer, guitarist, or more up to date production values. I daresay Leonard Cohen could do an awe-inspiring Sisters cover.
As for Lambchop..bagpipes. No offence to any Scot, but bagpipes sound like someone squeezing a pig rythmically.

I thnik most people would agree with that, but "whilst we're waiting for the next one etc etc", the attempts of lesser mortals can be an amusing diversion if nothing else.

There is a "While we're waiting" thread somewhere.
Some corking covers by Heartlanders.
Best get stuck into the search function.... I might be some time...

One of the best covers will always be this one of
Good Things, and it also comes with a cool video.

Honestly, I think TSOM tunes
really lend themselves to country music treatments. In fact, I'd say (with Mike Ness, I guess) that the quality of a song is really displayed not on the stage at 1000 watts, but in the bedroom on an acoustic guitar. If it works there, it works anywhere. Most TSOM work there. I once spent a few weeks out in the country with friends. We drank a lot and played bluegrass-ish versions of TSOM songs. They worked well, and that is less a testament to our drunken playing than it is to the craftsmanship of the author/authors of said songs.

I've done covers of Lights, Lucretia, Adrenochrome, Marian, Burn, Heartland, and probably even more
Haven't uploaded any of them though, the rest of the band's not 100% happy with them.
