The Greatest Queen Cover Song?

Here is a link to a recent blog post discussing one of, if not, the best cover versions of a Queen song that I have heard.

Stone Cold Crazy, Metallica, Soda Stereo - Algun Dia [Some Day One Day}

This band from Sweden is awesome!!!https://youtu.be/KjMF0T2H6Pg

Travis - killer Queen ( one of their B-sides). Excellent

I'll always point out the Valensia tribute album. This is better than the original IMO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rcJCIdOI6A

Great now I'm down the cover band rabbit hole.

I'd happily go and see this and mosh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSc_cwrD1Ag

The keyboard player is fucking having it.

Wow, a bold statement.

Indeed - their understanding of Queen and their execution of Queen is uncanny, but I'd still never give a knock-off band that much credit.

Not least because the original was done in a 16 track studio with little scraps of studio time at 3 in the morning.

But even if the cover is that much better, I always give more points to the creator. It's far easier to imitate and slightly better something than to create it to begin with.

Dream Theater - Tenement Funster /Flick of the Wrist / Lily of the Valley

Aterciopelados - Play the Game

Soda Stereo - Some day one day

Valensia - Liar

Valensia - My Fairy King

Concrete Blonde - Nevermore (live)

NIN - Get Down Make Love

@Real Wizard - I fully agree. However this version gives it more oomph which I like.

Stoned Cold Crazy by Metallica.....Dragon Attack by Testament.....Dream Theater covers were decent. Get Down Make Love NIN

Does anyone one have the Dynamite With A Lazerbeam CD?

I really like this cover of Innuendo: -Chin

Good cover can make me appreciate these songs even more. I especially like 'Valensia - My Fairy King' and 'Dead On Time' from those listed above.

One of the best cover song is Bohemian Rhapsody.
