Remixes
 

Are they as good as the original versions of the music? I think some can be better and some arent.

I don't really like any remixes that I can think of.

look for "The game" by motor head
then look for "the game" by drowning pool.

I think thats an expample of a good improvement.

Also check out "smooth criminal" by Michael Jackson
The check out "smooth criminal" by alien ant farm.

Thats an exaple of an ok improvement.

Those aren't remixes... those are covers.

Are you sure.... they remade the song....i dunno to me thats a remix, i probably and wrong.

Wow, you're stupid.

A remix is a literal re-mixing of the original recording. The masters of the original recording are re-arranged, some stuff is taken out and extra crap is put in. An good example I could give would be the White Zombie album Supersexy Swingin' Sounds. Every track was originally recorded by the band, but re-arranged by Rob Zombie.

A cover is a completely different thing. A cover is when a particular band records or performs their own version of a tune previously released and written by someone else. For example, my band used to do a cover of "My Own Summer" by The Deftones. The album Garage Inc. was an entire album of covers done by Metallica.

Ok in that case i would have changed the title to Covers. My bad -.-. I know shit about music.

Better title?

Hmm, Guns and Roses' version of McCartney's Live and Let Die is excellent. Same with their cover of Knocking on Heaven's Door

The Ataris cover of Boys of Summer is the only song I like from them.

Thank you Rs :). Ive heard those are good but i have yet to hear them :(

Metallica's covers of basically anything are usually better than the original. There's not one person in the world that can honestly say they think the original version of "Breadfan" is better than Metallica's version.

The only one that might be the exception to the rule is "Stone Cold Crazy".
