  • Cover Versions of Alice in Chains Songs

    30 Nov 2008, 00:26 by radiopilote

    Since I heard Opeth's cover of PlayWould? I have been searching for other cover versions of Alice in Chains songs.

    Opeth's version of the song is more like a copy of the original version. No interpretation or experimentation or use of harsh vocals. They do not really turn the song into an Opeth song.

    First song I stumpled upon in my search was a cover of PlayThem Bones by another swedish metal band, Grave. My first thought was: 'Of course!' A death metal version of this song is obvious. It works. Fans of both Alice in Chains and death metal would like this version or at least find it funny.

    After checking last.fm tag: alice in chains cover I found PlayNutshell by a band named Adema. I don't like this version very much although they try to make it sound like the original PlayNutshell. The singer needs character. It sounds like he is imitating someone instead of using his own voice.

    Then I found PlayDown In A Hole by Ryan Adams & The Cardinals. Ryan Adams alt-country version of PlayDown in a Hole is fine.

    Last song I found was a cover of PlayMan in the Box by Angie Aparo. This version is completely different from the original. It is slow and acoustic and reminds me of José González. If I must chose a favourite between these 5 songs, this would be the one.

    This was what I was able to find and download from iTunes. If anyone know of other cover versions, please let me know.
