GALNERYUS covering Van Halen's Dreams

[paradoxal 2948]

One of my favorite cover songs is Lycaon's メンタル≠ヘルプ (Mental≠help) made originally by R-Shitei. R-Shitei also covered Lycaon's The 「1st」degree genocide holic and it's great too but since I'm a huge fan of Lycaon I prefer Lycaon's cover.

Link to Mental≠help by both bands (lol I couldn't make this spoiler+embedded thingy work though the later link works just fine...)

And who could forget CRUSH!3-90's V-Rock best hit cover LOVE songs-:

1. Ayabie - ESCAPE (MOONCHILD)
2. ALSDEAD - Illusion City (SEX MACHINEGUNS)

3. Inugami Circus-dan - Rusty nail (X JAPAN)

4. Uchuu Sentai NOIZ - Kiss me (Himuro Kyousuke)

5. Kameleo - Zurii onna (Sharam Q)

6. Kaya - yurenagara... (Laputa)

7. CRASH 49 - kanojo no Modern... (GLAY)

8. SARSHI - VENUS (Chisato)

9. Scarlett - HURRY GO ROUND (hide with Spread Beaver)
10. DIV - White breath (T.M.Revolution)

11. defspiral - ROSIER (LUNA SEA)

12. Makoto - Eternal Flame (SOPHIA)

13. MEJIBRAY - Cage (Dir en grey)

14. Lin - Insomnia (ROUAGE)

 

I'm not too familiar with most of the original songs. Inugami Circus-dan's Rusty nail is a one very interesting piece but my personal favorite is MEJIBRAY's Cage. The original DEG song is one of my favorite songs and MEJIBRAY made a great cover with their own style and sound while keeping up with the atmosphere of the original song.

Earlier someone mentioned Matenrou Opera's Kurenai (X JAPAN original) and I'm so in love with that cover. The original song is amazing but the way they covered it with their own sound and style is truly amazing, 100 times better than Mejigay's Cage. That kurenai cover really gives me goosebumps. It's so amazing I have no words for it.

ALSDEAD - Gips

 

original:

Ringo Shiina - Gips

(Vevo link btw, won't work for US citizens)

 

It stays pretty faithful to original song, kinda digging it I kinda remember seeing some tereko rips off SID's Ringo Shiina covers (considering *almost* all of them are Ringo fanboys)

 

PS. I wonder if there are more RS covers by vk bands? Heh.

[violetchain 912]

Hitomi Yaida's cover of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" is one of my favourites.

 

 

Also, Eizo Sakamoto and Yama-B doing Hikaru Genji's "Yuuki 100%".

 

[Bear 1817]

Not Japanese, but I'll post it here anyway:

 

Ewigkeit - Det Som Engang Var (Burzum cover)

The cover:

 

The original:

 

One of the best and most unique cover songs I've ever heard. Ewigkeit's made the song into their own, but you can  still hear which song is being covered. It's amazing!

[Pretsy 1343]

so yeah,

 

Dempagumi inc. - Tsuyoi Kimochi Tsuyoi Ai (Kenji Ozawa cover)

 

original:

 

Dempagumi inc. - Sabotage (Beastie Boys cover)

(yes, that's completely in English)

original:

 

[Pretsy 1343]

Finnish electroduo Mr Velcro Fastener covering one of the most known doom metal anthems ever made, taken from a split with Reverend Bizarre where both bands cover one song from eachother. It sounds fantastic.

 

The original:

 

[Pretsy 1343]

 

lol. (most of you know the original already)

 

Also: Akina Nakamori covers seem to be quite a popular trend in vk and vk-related scenes - especially these days (Lycaon, Penicillin, Sukekiyo - to name a few)

[blackdoll 907]

all of Lycaon's obviously

 

but some others
