Favorite Covers

What are some songs you like/or don't like that have been covered?

Currently listening to Machine Head' cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name off the Maiden Heaven compilation cd. If you haven't heard it check it out. About half way thru the song you can definately tell its Machine Head.

I love the Megadeth cover of "These Boots" and Children of bodoms sarcastic "Oops I did it again"

Just about anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

As far as quality, serious work though, And Then She Kissed Me by KISS!

Yea almost anything by "Me First..." is great to listen to.

Trivium's cover of Master of Puppets is pretty dead on. I really enjoy that version.

Ace of Spades - Drain STH
Burn in Hell - Dimmu Borgir
Mr Crowley - Cradle of Filth

Also another great cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name is by Cradle of Filth.

She is Beautiful - Children of Bodom
Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Bullet for My Valentine

Children of Bodom have become the masters of the cover song. Aside from the ones that have already been mentioned they do great version of "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" as well as CCR's "Lookin' Out My Back Door."

Machine Head's cover of "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is good, but my favorite cover by them has to be Sabbath's "Hole In The Sky." Ministry put out a cover album and some gems off of that one are "Under My Thumb," "Just Got Paid" by ZZ Top, and "What A Wonderful World."

I agree about Bodom doing great covers. They haven't done one i didn't like. Even songs I dont like or have never heard of they do which make me enjoy the selection.

CoB - The Final Countdown (finally listenable)
Anthrax - Got The Time
Brain Posehn - Try Again, Again
The Cardigans - Iron Man (really bizarre cover)
Flotsam & Jetsam - Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting
Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver
Queensryche - Scarborough Fair

Fear Factory - Cars

Added a few to my list of songs to check out.

Also Holy Diver might actually be the best cover i have heard in a long time. Plus that video is amazing!!!

Got the Time - Anthrax (Kudos Justin)
The entire "Kiss my ass" album - Kiss tribute
Master of Puppets (intro)- Primus
Immigrant Song - Infectious Grooves
Planet Caravan - Pantera
Radar Love & Road House Blues - Ministry
Merciful Fate - Metallica
Nightmare Before Christmas - Buckethead


But one that stuck out that was really disappointing was Ozzy doing Hellraiser by Motorhead. They threw in some odd quarter note pause in the chorus which threw the song totally off balance. The funny thing was Lemmy was a producer on "No More Tears" and he let the Ozz man butcher his tune.

Anybody other than J heard KISS MY GRASS, or HAYSEED DIXIE?

Hayseed Dixie is great for a laugh. Fade To Bluegrass is awesome too!. Metallica!

Oh no! that sounds awefulsome! I wanna hear it. bring it by sometime!

Will do. I gotta find the Metallica one. I know its around here somewhere.

speaking of Metallica, their cover of "Am I evil?" is top notch.

Yea that cover is so good, I dont consider it a cover anymore. It's the original to me.

Destruction's cover of Whiplash rules!

I'm watching a vid of Evanescence doing Thoughtless by Korn right now. It's really good!

Yeah Thoughtless was a good cover.


Death - Painkiller
Judas Priest - The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown)

Wow i agree about Thoughtless. Excellent job on that song.

Death Painkiller is also great!

Roadrunner United

Check out this DVD coming out soon.

Abigail sung by Ripper Owens... I'm there!
