Covers Better Than The Original

Give me some covers you think are better than their originals.

I'll start. 

"Problem" by Ariana Grande, covered by Set It Off. More of a punk rock cover. 

"Somebody Told Me" by The Killers, covered by Motionless In White. Sounds pretty similar but Chris' vocals are god-like. 

"Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol, covered by Black Veil Brides. Given a lot more "punk" with Andy's unique low and grungey vocals, not to mention the incredible drum work from CC that elevates the songs energy from a 6 to a 10.

I can agree with Hurt. It was one of the least expected covers I heard of but I connected to the song way more when it came from Johnny for some reason.

F**k You by Ceelo Green, covered by Sleeping With Sirens. AMAZING COVER. 

I’m also a huge fan of Attack Attack!’s cover of I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry

Honorable mention is Rina Sawayama’s cover of Enter Sandman. Holy shit.

Led Zeppelin's version of When the Levee Breaks. I love the original, but the LZ version is gritty.

That "F*ck You" cover sounds great. 

I'm afraid I haven't heard of that Leevee song though. 

Very interesting answers so far though.
