Absolute belter of a track!

Ministry covered Black Betty too. Spiderbait's version completely craps all over it though.

Yep, that's them.
Paul Barker left the band around 2000. Jourgensen carried on but it was never the same. Hence their version of Black Betty being a bit crap.
They did do a couple of good covers early on though.

Ofra Haza - Kashmir


Lucia Micarelli & Jethro Tull - Kashmir


Jimmy Page & Robert Plant - Kashmir


Original by Led Zeppelin

Satisfaction


The Residents


Devo


Original by The Rolling Stones

Another where harder is better...

This may be considered sacrilege by some but once you get to this level of talent it's up to the listener.



The more polished:

One more...



A good tune. A better version:

Ok. ONE more. If you don't prefer the cover you've been smoking crack.
