zep73 Posted November 17, 2018 Author #104 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) The song I'm presenting here is amazing. It has a history like no other, and has been interpreted so many times that your head would spin. You can read the full story on wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Pines The interpretations I'd like to present are the modern better known ones, starting with Lead Belly (1939) Later, in 1972 Danish rock band Gasolin made a version called "Min Tøs" (My Chick) And finally the version most people know, Nirvana's 1994 version Edited November 17, 2018 by sci-nerd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame their Sympathy for the Devil never made an album cut. It rocks. I heard "Don't you forget about me" the other day and was thinking how much better Billy Idol's version is. He actually wrote that song for Simple Minds and once you know that every time you hear it you'll realize just how kuch if a Billy Idol song that is. Here's his version. I also love Metallica's Whiskey in the Jar. Edited February 26, 2019 by F3SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a science nerd I am used to checking facts, so here they are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_You_(Forget_About_Me)#Recording_history "There were rumours about “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” being written for Billy Idol, but Keith denies them, saying that it was indeed written for Simple Minds. Both the writers were big Simple Minds fans, but the group turned the song down. The company then wanted Corey Hart, who had a huge hit at the time with “Sunglasses at Night” but Keith thought he wasn’t the guy, so they offered the song to Cy Curnin from The Fixx, Bryan Ferry, and Billy Idol, but all three declined; Idol did later perform a cover of it on his 2001 compilation album Greatest Hits." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just had to ruin for me! I just remember when that came out in '01 and had read that he actually wrote the song. Still though, it sounds perfect in his catalogue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep73 Posted March 19, 2019 Author #120 Share Posted March 19, 2019 This is not a cover per se. Robert Johnson recorded the original "Traveling Riverside Blues" in 1937, but it was very crude and simple. You can barely hear the resemblance. Led Zeppelin's 1969 version took a few lines and riff's from Johnson's version and created a whole new song. In my opinion one of the best rock songs ever made.
