| Music Finally, an entire forum devoted to talking about Doktor Avalanche, the drum machine for the Sisters of Mercy. You can talk about other bands, or other members of that band, too, if you want to be UNCOOL. |

No kidding. A large, iceberg-sized turd.

I had no idea they covered it. I'd be really interested in hearing that. I just hope it's nothing like Fall Out Boy's cover of Love Will Tear us Apart.

On the topic of Venus and the Furs Bauhaus did a cover, but I've only ever heard it on Press Eject and Give Me The Tape. The sound quality on that leaves a bit to be desired, so it may be a great cover it may be a terrible cover. The world will just never know off that album.
Manson's covers are dull for the most part.
Bauhaus' seemed to all be boss.
Other than those two I can't think of many covers that are really worth mentioning. Oh yeah, Peter Murphy's cover of Final Solution, so much better than Pere Ubu. Props on a good try to them though.

Well...let me tell you one thing.
All covers done by me and nearly posted on YouTube are a gazillion times worse than the originals. I sing like a wok. Enough said.

Let's see here... The Animals version of, "Paint it Black." Nothing like spicing it up with additional lyrics, a violin, and some Cajun spice!
Maybe even The Shroud's cover of, "Red Over White," could get a mention.
Hmmm... the Bright Stairs tribute cover of, "Brother Fear."
The, "Dead Souls," cover of Joy Division by Nine Inch Nails wasn't too bad either.
And of course, how could this list be completed without mentioning Tim McGraw's, "Indian Outlaw?"

Personal Jesus was a lousy song to begin with.
I'm not even going to begin on the Marilyn Manson thing.
But yeah a lot of covers are really good these days because people are covering of bands that really sucked and making the songs better, such as COF covering ANY IRON MAIDEN SONG, or covers like Behind Blue Eyes (which was really really amazing aside from two parts that killed it a bit)

Even now, we get kids coming in looking like Hot Topic and requesting him. I have no idea how someone so otherwise vanilla and obviously not-goth would have such a major impact on us all.

You guys take the label of goth entirely too serious in my opinion.

It's not taking the label seriously here that's the problem. He defied genre at first and didn't adhere to any school of thought except his own, and then, all of a sudden he was a goth. Goth this goth that and it was Manson saying it himself, not just the media anymore, so he played into the hands of popularity. That's disgusting in my opinion considering the type of music and he lyrics.

I agree. It was pretty terrible. I actually like Fall Out Boy, but thats a classic that should only be touched by a master.

Cake's cover of "I Will Survive" is better than the original, IMO, and Nouvelle Vague's "Bela Lugosi's Dead" was pretty good as was Fiona Apple's "Across the Universe."
Also good:
Groove Coverage- Poison
The Decemberists- Little Boxes
Placebo- 20th Century Boy and Running Up That Hill
The F-Ups- All the Young Dudes

Some decent covers:
In Every Dream Home a Heartache- Rozz Williams & Gitane Demone
Ziggy Stardust- Bauhaus
Telegram Sam- Bauhaus
School's Out- 45 Grave
Some not-so-decent ones:
This is Halloween- Both the Marilyn Manson and the Fallout Boy versions
Lovesong- 311 (Or whomever made that awful reggae version)
Tom Sawyer- Mindless Self Indulgence

It's cool, they don't sound too different if you actually like them you can tell them apart. Best cover ever = Oops I Did It Again covered by Children of Bodom, it cracks me up
