Weiland's Cover Song Performances...

[SteelCitySpin]

I'm not quite sure what board to post this on... but I figured this would be as good as any.  With Santana's cover song album dropping this Tuesday... and Weiland set to release a full album of Christmas tune covers - I figured it'd be nice to start a topic about it.  So... what is your favorite cover song that Scott Weiland has been a part of (released on CD or broadcast on TV)?
 
Revolution (The Beatles)
Break On Through (The Doors)
Time Of The Season (The Zombies)
Fame (David Bowie)
Can't You Hear Me Knocking (The Rolling Stones)
Dancing Days (Led Zeppelin)
Andy Warhol (David Bowie)
Christmastime Is Here (Vince Guaraldi Trio)
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (Judy Garland)
Other?

His cover of "But Not Tonight" is amazing.

His cover of "But Not Tonight" is amazing.

Awwwww sheeeeeeit. Forgot about that one. I fucking love it. I remember how happy I was to hear it in Not Another Teen Movie the first time after learning that Scott recorded it.

[Shangri]

The best cover he's ever done is Angie/Mary (it was even better than the original) never released or broadcast but still...

But not tonight, absolutely
Psycho Killer
Waiting for a Superman
Reel around the fountain
Dancing Days
Ashes to Ashes
Shine on you crazy diamond

[STP92]

Personally, I loved the cover of "Dancing Days".

[CMCracker]

Psycho killer sounds like a completely differnt song when VR did it.. HATE the original LOVE the cover.  same for reel around the fountain.. Didn't even like that one on the cd when i first heard it.. but watching scoot open his solo shows with it changed my perspective on it comepletely..now it is one of my favs on HIG

[Tyrant]

"But Not Tonight" and "Ashes To Ashes" by Scott are more than just covers. These tracks are very important for me.

[AFH]

Don't forget FIVE TO ONE!! Scott sang that one with the Doors and I think with VR too

[Lazy Divey]

Gypsy Davey/Midnight Roundup too

Also, aside from the ones listed, and a previous thread about songs we'd like to hear Scott cover... I'd always want him to finish some of the cover's he's teased.

Garbage - Only Happy When it Rains  (back in 2000 or 2001 he teased a little bit of those lyrics.)

Bowie - TVC15 (Which he's been singing some partial lyrics during Sour Girl occasionally for the past few years.)
