Planned on doing this for some time, but never thought I had enough. Well, when I first started compiling I definitely didn’t – but after a lot of research on YouTube, SoundCloud & beyond, I’ve come up with nine solid dubstep remixes of that classic rock we’ve grown up on.
Two rock legends I wanted to find were Jimi Hendrix & ZZ Top, but unfortunately there weren’t any quality ones out there. If you know of any, or any other dubstep remixes I haven’t included here, hit it up in the comments below!
The Alchemist – Money (Pink Floyd Dubstep Remix)
This may not technically be a classic rock dubstep remix, it’s got a few more steps, but it’s well deserving to be included.
+ Plus it was the track that first got me thinking that I needed to put something like this together.
Back in ’03, Easy Star All-Stars created Dub Side of the Moon, one of the greatest tribute albums to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. Last year they remixed the album with the help of a handful of dubstep producers to create, Dubber Side of the Moon, puttin the step into this dub classic. Of all the tracks, The Alchemist put together one hell of a “Money” dubstep remix.

Minnesota – California Dreamin’ (The Mamas & The Papas Dubstep Remix)
Who’d of thought someone could pull off a dubstep remix of The Mamas & The Papas’ “California Dreamin’”, but dubstep madman, Minnesota, has done just that. The key to this, and all dubstep remixes, is sticking to what made the original so good and mastering in some artful dubstep coiling. Basically, make sure to leave your exotic solos for you own originals.

ZEDS DEAD – Gimme Shelter (Rolling Stones Dubstep Remix)
The intro seems to be lacking a bit – it’s got the whole “calm before the storm” goin’, but something’s missing with Mick Jagger’s infamous lines. Soon after, however, ZEDS DEAD tears the track another asshole, bringing it down to the bowels of dubstep.

4centers – Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles Dubstep Remix)
4centers’ dubstep remix of “Eleanor Rigby” was my first taste of rock gone dubstep. The reason I fell for this was the exact same reason I did for Minnesota’s, if you’re gonna remix a song through dubstep, keep what made the original so good and feed that bass some trippy-ass shit.

Stylust Beats – Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd Dubstep Remix)
Alright, since the “Money” remix wasn’t really of Pink Floyd’s, here’s a dubstep remix of “Comfortably Numb”. There are a few tweaks I’d like to make to this, the vocals at times get drowned out by the massive dubstep, but this is still one fiendish remix by Stylus Beats.
The first drop @1:08 is on point!

Omega – Come Together (The Beatles Dubstep Remix)
Not surprisingly, The Beatles were the easiest to find remixes for, although a lot of them weren’t up to par. One thing that many didn’t have, but were required for this list, were the original vocals! (crucial!)
Takes a while for this one to build up, but it does.

ZEDS DEAD – White Satin (The Mood Blues Dubstep Remix)
Another classic rock dubstep remix by ZEDS DEAD with an even bigger drop than the last.
Best watermark ever @:57

DJ Parker – Iron Mandem (Black Sabbath Dubstep Remix) (feat. Busta Rhymes)
I almost didn’t include this because of the Busta Busta feature, but it got me goin so much I had to include it, plus a lil’ Busta never hurt.
In case you’re wondering, Parker sampled Busta Rhymes from “It’s a Party.”

Specimen A – Cold As Ice (Foreigner Dubstep Remix)
Wasn’t feelin this at first, but kept it just in case I’d warm up to it. And it’s fair to say I have, the wobbles agree with my ear the more I listen to it + I love Foreigner’s original.

If you like the list enough, hit us up in the comments below and I’ll compile it all for ya (if I don’t get too lazy about it).
Saw the Minnesota remix of California Dreamin’ featured on another blog (MusikMigBlidt – Danish blog) about a month ago. We came to the conclusion that it is probably a remix of The Mamas & The Papas original version of California Dreamin’ – which I think is supported by the distinctly female voice that can be heard from time to time. The Beach Boys were never that effeminate :)
This is a solid list! I particularly like the California Dreamin’ Mix, Come Together mix, and of course, the Zeds Dead mix. I could be biased on the Zeds Dead mix due to my Canadian roots, but either way, it is still a killer track. I just remembered that Butch Clancy did a remix of Eleanor Rigby as well a little while back which turned out pretty well. Also, look into Adventure Club who remixed Thrice and various other artists. They’re a Canadian duo (much like Zeds) who also do very great work.
these are great.. but california dreamin’ is definitely the mamas & the papas’ version.
Yep, you guys are definitely right. I’ll fix it right now. Thanks Martin & Tara
Yes yes yes these are awesome. No need to compile into .zip but would love individual d/ls anyways. Thanks and keep it up
Individual D/L would be awesome! You’ve got quite a list going there!
Love remixes of classics!!! Zip would be great as would individual dls!!!
LOVE IT!! Zip file/d/l would rock as much as the wompy dub sound itself!! Thanks!
WOOOOW. DUBSTEP is the new sliced bread.
Hey someone pointed me to this list, thanks for including my remix! I’m going to put out a version with no Busta vocals as a lot of people have asked for it!
In the meantime you might like this, its not a remix of an old rock classic but its still a rock classic all the same:

Outstanding! Cheers for this!
zip file or indy dl’s would be awesome!
“Iron Mandem” has my vote for the next ‘Iron Man’ soundtrack.
Or the Avengers movie. Whichever.
I’m gonna try and figure out a proper way, but until then a d/l link for ‘em all is hidden in the post. hint, hint… it’s toward the bottom
… <—– bigger hint

Individual download pleeease!
downloaddownloaddownload! (please)
nice list. but honestly how could you leave out bassnectar? they have a few but the one that really sticks in my mind (as far as classic rock dubstep remix is concerned) is Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. The track is SICK. I work at a gentlemans club as a DJ and I play that track on a daily basis. haha.
would luv a copy of omegas remix… nice compilation
These tracks are insane! Please hook it up with a zip dl!
Drop a download link for these and I’ll gladly send a paypal donation
Sorry for the delay, y’all! Here’s a zip file of ‘em all. If you want anything in a higher quality version, hit me up on Tweeeter.
Muchos THNX 4 this! I look forward to future lists!!!
HELL YEAH i love this shit
I would love to know where to buy these! LOVE
The Iron Maiden remix is legit, except the rapper was superfluous and distracted me from the really well produced track behind his unecessary vocals.
i may be wrong but i do believe that Ironmandem is a dub remix of a remake. Busta’s version of Iron Man, “This Means War” was included on N.I.B II: Tribute to Black Sabbath.
i dig this version but would LOVE to hear the original get dubstepped.
couple more for you…
