Sounds like it could be a decent collection.

Especially the Sinergy track

I'm already getting goosebumps at the thought of Kimberly singing NOTB!

Amen to that! Did you get the new album yet Wrathy?

the Cradle of Filth cover is actually pretty cool. it's so dark and forboding,then the singer dude goes "MOTHERFUCKERS" and the fast bit starts.

they could have left out the motherfuckers part i reckon.

 

[KoichCPA]

I actually have most of those songs already on mp3..

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I like the Cradle of Filth version as well, has a really dark vibe to it, which suits the song well. I think I have heard about 6 of them, and they were all pretty decent.

The Sinergy version is AWESOME!! Shits ALL over the Iced Earth version!! Woo!

 

[Sydo]

Most of these cover versions are not new.

Like I was saying before the BB was cruely ripped asunder....

Blitz speaketh the truth.

I like the fact that it's not a straight cover like most bands seem to do. They've Sinergised it, ands it's great.

Didn't Steel Prophet play on the Dwell Records Maiden tribute?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I am just listening to the Opeth version of "Remember Tomorrow", and it's great!

These two are on the first "A Call To Irons" CD, and both are BRILLIANT. The rest of the songs on that CD are so-so.

Steel Prophet rawks... even though I only have "Dark Hallucinations" so far. They do a cover of Fates Warning's "The Apparition" which is AWESOME.

Tribute to Dio. Steel Prophet. Neon Knights.

 

[phlogiston]

And I believe the Sinergy one is the bonus track of the Japanese version of Suicide by my Side.

 

[Wrathchild]

Which, incidentally, I still don't have. It's on my list though, along with 21 (and counting) other things

Wat a minute, how did The Police's Greatest Hits get on there? I like 'em OK? Please stop laughing...

Back to Sinergy, I thought the bonus track was going to be a cover of Faith No More's "Falling To Pieces." They must have changed their minds.

Now that would be interesting...

I've so gotta hear Sinergy's NOTB cover! I'm such a huge fan of those guys now and I reckon that would rule big time!
