Well, as much as I love the band, HIM's cover of "Don't Fear The Reaper" sucks. The lack of cowbell is sorely disappointing. I mean seriously, you gotta' have more cowbell. Cowbell in any song would rock, if Simple Plan used cowbell, I'd listen to them. Ah well...I just realized I had this MP3 in my playlist too, after about a year.

Exactly.

99% of covers suck. It's a fact.

That's not fair though, because of all the shitty cover jukebox bands that circulate in college towns.

The actual number is much closer to 97%, I'm sure.

Covers don't always suck. They can be great, and are pretty much necessary. :/

 

[AlphaSnake]

No way. There are some covers that are better than the originals.

like type o negative's summer breeze. or manson's sweet dreams. yah!

i actually thought HIM's cover was pretty good, one of the betetr BOC covers anyway.

 

[Semjaza Azazel]

There are a lot of good covers. I can't see any band really "improving" upon Blue Oyster Cult, however, particularly if they happened to do something off of Secret Treaties or Agents of Fortune (like in this case).

No cowbell??

No cowbell??

I knoow!

There's this band called The Monkeywrench, a kind of Mudhoney side project, and the last track on their first album is called 'I'm Blown'.

Cowbell in spades, I tell ya.

You can NEVER have too much cowbell!

MORE COWBELL!

His Infernal Majesty's cover of Chris Isaac's "Wicked Game" is astounding, though.
