Manics cover of Rhianna's 'Umbrella'
I wasn't aware of the song before but I think this is a very good version by the Manic Street Preachers.

It was on a CD given away by the NME the other week along with various covers including The Wombats doing 'Bleeding Love' (still a crap song), Kate Nash doing 'Men's Needs', Lightspeed Champion doing 'Back to Black' and the Kaiser Chiefs covering 'Golden Skans'.
I think you can listen to it on their website. With regards to the Manics version of Umbrella - I really like it. |

I love how they changed the lyric from
"Come into me" to "Come with me". |

Of course it's a bit GnR. James Dean Bradfield learnt guitar by listening to Guns and Roses albums!

There have been quite a few cover versions of Umbrella, but this one by the Manics is the best. It's also by far the best track on that NME Covers CD.

Not a bad cover, they also performed it at the NME Big Gig at the O2 Arena a couple of weeks back:
