30 Seconds to Mars covers Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert covers Metallica etc.

Posted on by

I will post the original videos at the bottom of the post for reference.

Here is 30 Seconds to Mars doing a cover of Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance. The lyrics are different but I like what they did with it. I think they upped the creep factor a little bit. I love the emotion in Jared Leto’s voice.

Here is Adam Lambert covering Metallica’s Enter Sandman. I never thought of Enter Sandman as a sexy song but leave it to Adam Lambert to pull that off.

This is Postmodern Jukebox covering Paula Abdul’s Straight Up in vintage Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers style. I love the Betty Boop quality in Ashley Stroud’s voice. I had never heard of this group before this but I absolutely love this cover.

Here is Marilyn Manson’s cover of Sweet Dreams by The Eurythmics. I can’t believe it’s going on twenty years since this came out. According to Wikipedia, Billboard rated this the “scariest video ever made”, beating out Michael Jackson’s Thriller for the top spot.

Here are the originals:

Lady Gaga-Bad Romance

Metallica-Enter Sandman

Paula Abdul-Straight Up

Eurythmics-Sweet Dreams

Thank you to the people who posted videos in the comments of Daron’s Guitar Chronicles of 30 Seconds to Mars and Postmodern Jukebox because otherwise I wouldn’t have known those covers existed.

Since I referenced it (and it is still awesome) here is Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

Tiny homes and a castle on wheels.

Posted on by

I love unique architecture and I especially love to see what people do with small spaces. Here are a few videos that I wanted to share.

Here a guy turned a storage space into his home. It’s amazing what he did with it. I love the different levels.

This one is a street legal truck that converts into a completely livable castle. Really impressive how they chose to use the space. Very creative.

The last two videos show two slightly different designs from Tumbleweed Tiny Houses. These are so cute. I love the idea of parking one of these out in a wooded area and having an instant cabin in the woods. These are built on trailers so they are portable. They are licensed like an RV. I like the design from the kitchen back on the first video and the kitchen and front room on the second video. Although I would put a desk in where they have the window bench. The second video gives a more thorough tour than the first video does.
