Blue Oyster Cult Cover versions

Many bands over the years have quoted Blue Oyster Cult as their influence etc.
some of these bands have paid hommage by trying to replicate the tracks.In some cases it sort of works, most times it doesn't but whatever you think of the cover versions it's all quite obvious that none of them match up to the originals.

This post simply shows some Youtube videos of Blue Oyster Cult cover versions by various artists.Some versions are ok. Check them out and see what you think.

First up however is a track which Eric guested on and is itself a cover of a Metallica track 'For whom the bells toll'.
It's a great version and Eric's vocals suit perfectly.

 

And now here are the videos of the Blue Oyster Cult cover versions starting with a Metallica double bill of 'Astonomy' and then an acoustic version of 'Veteran of the psychic wars'



Tarot also cover -Veteran of the Psychic wars.. 


Fu Manchu are up next with old 'Godzilla'


Voodoo Screw Machine take a stab at 'Flaming Telepaths'. 



And to close the proceedings..I give you Candlemass' covering '(Don't fear)The Reaper'
