Rolling Stones: The 15 most exciting cover versions of your songs
Otis Redding – “(I can’t get no) Satisfaction”
Otis Redding was one of the most rousing live musicians during his lifetime. “Guilt” on this fact was also his incredible version of “Satis Faction”-especially those who were immortalized on the legendary live recording of his Apollo show. Videos show how he throws himself into the song. He whipped him towards the end as the sweat runs down his forehead …

Marianne Faithfull – “As Tears Go by”
“I want a song with Brick Walls all around it, High Windows and No Sex” -That was supposed to be the work mandate by Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham, with whom he blocked Richards and Jagger into a kitchen until they came out with a song. It was also Oldham who gave the song of the then 17 -year -old Faithfull. Actually planned as a B side, the song became a single success for Faithfull due to the first euphoric reactions to the A-side and 1964-even before the Stones recorded their version in 1965. There is a nice live version from the recent past here.
Social distortion – “Under my thumb”
Mike Ness immortalized “Under My Thumb” officially only as a bonus track on the “White Light, White Heat, White Trash” album in a massive studio version-but it has been a live standard and appeared since the early years of the band and appeared various bootlegs. There is a very early live recording, which shows very nicely how much anger, aggression and Renitenz can be in this song, which is almost good at the Stones.

Ryan Adams & Beth Orton – “Brown Sugar”
At this point you can get jealous of the British competition from the Uncut-Magazin-they had this wonderfully withdrawn version of Adams and Orton on a CD supplement from her magazine. How her voice complement and play around while the piano is roaring – that already has something.

Townes van Zandt – “Dead Flowers”
Often you read the beautiful conclusion about this version of Townes van Zandt: “So, and the song does not belong to it! I have always found the original of the Stones almost a little careless – and that on a plate with Sister Morphine! So nobody should tell me that they couldn’t do it better … Townes shows what kind of potential this song has … “Stones purists will probably contradict, but the dark despair in van Zandt’s voice is really damn fitting here.

Freygang – “Give me cover” (“Gimme Shelter”)
André Greiner-Pol from Freygang interpreted the song in the early 90s with simple but strong words and, thanks to its past, also charged politically in the persecuted GDR underground. “Give me cover, otherwise I’m a dead man …” – that was known for state -critical bands as is well known.
Britney Spears – “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” (VMAS)
At this point we would like to point out that a occurrence in this list does not necessarily mean that we are mandatory the cover version. Britney Spears recorded the song with producer Rodney Jerkins in 2000 and packed it on her album “Oops! … I dit it again” (2000). Miss Spears had the song in her live program for years and also chose it as the intro of her VMA appearance in 2000.
Her interpretation is the sad proof that you can turn each song as a brilliant song a gone, cheese, soulless pop number. Then no more meat -colored bra can distract from this … Oh yes: supposedly Jagger once heard the studio version from his daughter’s room roar, which would have caused him to want to work with Jerkins. We hope that this information is a duck.

Leon Russell – “Jumpin ‘Jack Flash” live at the “Concert for Bangladesh”
August 01, 1971: George Harrison and Ravi Shankar invite you to the two shows of their benefit concert “Concert for Bangladesh”. Leon Russell’s funky and soulful version of the “Jumpin ‘Jack Flash” is just as historical as the entire concert. This video is a feast for eyes and ears.

La Roux – “Under My Thumb”
Back to contemporary and back to “Under My Thumb”. You can actually translate the Songs of the Stones into a dance or pop context without destroying them. One proved provided La Roux, who even gave away as Free MP3. If the version recorded in the studio is still a little thin, it worked very well in the somewhat shrill live version at her concerts.

Cat Power – “(i can’t get no) satisfaction”
Chan Marshall has been a little overwhelmed with her love for cover versions in recent years. In any case, no one needed the creamy “Jukebox”. Too bad, because it was different on “The Covers Record” from 2000: she had not yet discovered the tasty arrangements for herself and made a fragile ballad out of “satis faction”, where you still get goose bumps today Don’t think about the lustful original.

Pussy Galore – “Stop Breaking Down”
In 1986 Jon Spencer and his then band Pussy Galore bowed to an album that had a significant impact on them: they played Your version of “Exile on Main Street” One – and they did it as no longer noisy, lustful and stoned, as they contested their entire career. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether this is more parody or honors. In any case, you have to have heard the album. Here is a rather exemplary song from it.

Soulwax – “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”
Ok, strictly speaking, this song is of course not a cover, but a remix and a re-edit. But we don’t want to be so petty: In any case, the Belgian brothers from Soulwax have also proven that they understand their work on the mixer buttons. This works in hip clubs and lets the aura “Let It IT Blee” time recover with the always cross-shooting Ogel-Samples and Jaggers mostly natural voice.

The Flying Burrito Brothers – “Wild Horses”
Another of these versions published before the original recording of the Stones. Gram Parsons convinced Jagger and Richards to be able to use the song for the second album of his band The Flying Burrito Brothers. So it appeared on “Burrito Deluxe” in April 1970, a year before it ended up on “Sticky Fingers” from the Stones. This withdrawn, great version about the otherwise rare question of whether the “cover” (if you can call it that if the original has not yet been recorded) or the original is better.

Lance Diamond and the Goo Goo Dolls – “Bitch”
There were strange times, these nineties: singers and radiomomann Lance Diamond played with the always unspeakable gooo go doll’s pseudo-soulful stones cover-and nobody did anything about it.

Devo – “(i can’t get no) satisfaction”
Devo published her version of the classic in 1977 as a single, but had previously been given the blessing of Jagger and his lawyer, since they alienated him and made him a spastic -fidgety something that had little to do with the original.
Jagger supposedly said at the meeting that he liked the version. Devo, however, said afterwards that the meeting was just a facade-the conversation of the two lawyers was decisive in four eyes, in which the submissive lawyer is said to have said: “I would release the song at your place-you will be a lot Make money with it. “
