axlskAmpf Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Ok so can chicks sing rock, didn't someone ask that recently? Here ya go! This was just released as an EP, just some fun before they record Atlantic's full record #2, and of all songs to cover! Gotta raise a glass just based on not doing what one would expect. There's 6 tunes on it, somehow gaga got in, but here's the one I'm most impressed with. Beatles cover of "I Want You-She's So Heavy". Listen to the end, she's going insaaaaane!. Love this one.

SALonghorn Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Halestorm just released an EP of six cover songs, including their version of the classic 'Out Ta Get Me'. I'm assuming they got Axl's approval? Lzzy Hale, the lead singer, has a great set of pipes and sings the song with great passion. Link: Be sure to check out their covers of Skid Row's 'Slave To The Grind' and Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance'. Not a big fan of their cover of Temple of the Dog's 'Hunger Strike' tho. Quote
Binge_And_Slash Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Those double tracked vocals on "they won't touch me" "you can't tell me" are fuckin' brilliant! Quote
moreblack Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Very metal, but the leads are better than Robin ever did for years.Somehow it feels a bit too precise, doesn't have the unhinged fury of the original, but it is definitely well played. Played with love, and rage. Quote
CoBrA2168 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Saw these guys live last August. They are pretty awesome. Quote
D.. Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 It's an extremely good cover. BUT, when I heard it, something didn't feel right. It was like "wow a guy can sing this good, but he doesn't seem to have the chops" and indeed... it's a girl singing. I'm not macho or anything, but the way the lyrics were sung didn't feel real, it's like it's too perfect, but it's not honest. To sum up, it's a girl's job, I find that very often they do a better job than men concerning the appearance and shape of something, but underneath, if it's something about the rage, it's not believable. Girls don't have that in them, and I'm fine with it, they have a lot of things men don't have.Fergie singing Sweet child is the same problem... but sweet child is a love song, so it's more believable. This out ta get me version sounded great, but while listening to it, i was like "this person doesn't get the rage of the song", and I was correct, look at how cut this lzzy girl is. Nice try though.

Changes Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Haha, I didn't even notice it was a woman singing at first. But she did it damn well. Really great song, but the cover was maybe a bit too close to the original. I mean she didn't have to do the "let me se you try" and "take that one to heart" and everything. Anyways, such an underrated song. One of my favorites on AFD, great to see it get some love. Quote
eye2eye Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Great cover, I bought whole album and all covers are great bar "Hunger Strike" is doesn't grab waht the song is about. But The Beatles cover is massive Quote
billows Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 that beatles cover if fuckin great. really like this woman's voice. Quote
JAC185 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Somehow it feels a bit too preciseAgree with this. Even from the intro guitar it just sounds a little too clean. Like it is lacking something. Not something I can musically quantify but that is half the magic of AFD I guess.It is a good cover though, she does have a wicked voice. Never heard them before.I just guess much of the time when a song I love gets covered unless it is a complete reworking I just end up noticing what it doesn't have that the original does.

Schwarzgold Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) , if it's something about the rage, it's not believable. Girls don't have that in themBah. Edit: And lest we forget Edited March 24, 2011 by Schwarzgold Quote
henfjel Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 holy shit, that girl sings nice.i agree that the song is a bit too precise. its not sleazy enough. it should be more laidback, sort of Quote
Stro Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 That's pretty good, but the Bad Romance cover is legitimately awesome. Quote
duff_rose Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 ...it's not that good. Not that bad either, but it adds nothing good to the original imo.Props to the lead singer though. Quote
hitmanhart408 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I liked it. Its heavier and more modern. They didnt ruin the damn song while adding their own style to it...so I approve. Quote
The Sandman Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I got more into it as it went on - cool. Quote
axlskAmpf Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Halestorm just released an EP of six cover songs, including their version of the classic 'Out Ta Get Me'. Yes, really, wow! I was happy to see they moved my post, 2 hours earlier than yours, to the main board. I didn't think it belonged in the main section, then I saw it was yours! I posted the Beatles cover as well, good stuff. http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=175674 Quote
Dead Flower Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 pretty cool. playing bad romance now. very good. Quote
Graeme Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Good cover . It has made me decide to listen to Appetite from the start as well, even better. Quote
moreblack Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Love Heart, hate that song. This cover hasn't changed my mind. BUT they executed it well. Quote
