Quicksand was band that the guitarist from Gorilla Biscuits started after GB broke up. A lot of people look to them as one of the original "post-hardcore" bands. Here, I'll upload an original Quicksand song, and their cover of How Soon is Now

HOW SOON IS NOW (smiths cover)

I think the Smiths cover is amazing. The original "How Soon is Now" is great but Quicksand strips it down to the core.

Wow what year was this smiths cover? Sounds like the grunge bands got some ideas from these guys.

Rage version sucks cause of the lyrics???? They only do the first verse!

wait...the [ ] ones up there are the originals?

cubis · 05-28-2007, 11:44 AM

marylin manson's cover of sweet dreams was nice, i like it better than the eurythmics version.

ryan adam's cover of wonderwall (oasis) is really good, he made it his own song pretty much.

i actually don't like the iron & wine cover of such great heights - too damn slooooooooooooow

Yeah. Surprising, ain't it?

marilyn manson also covered johnny mandel's "suicide is painless", i much prefer johnny mandel's version - and for those that don't know, johnny mandel's "suicide is painless" was the M*A*S*H theme song - the movie had the lyrics, and tv series just had the riff, excellent song imo, cover not so excellent

RATM - Microphone Fiend (Erib B & Rakim)

my favourite rakim track, and i think ratm did it justice.

ben folds does alot of covers during his live shows etc, he did one of "Bitches Aint Shit" which was interesting.

but i liked his version of "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service, dunno why really, not into the band or anything.

here the track is, on an australian radio station:

percussion is being played using a glass, chop sticks, postal tube and some other shit.

INF · 05-31-2007, 03:40 PM

oh yeah.

Ben Folds Five did "Vaseline" by the Flaming Lips. It was pretty good. I heard it live and then I found it on a compilation disc called Loungapalooza.
