Best Cover Songs....

[-Galaxy 500-]

What are some of the best cover songs you have ever heard? I have heard some great Iron Maiden covers. But which are the best?

 

[Henrik Main]

Emperor covering Mayhem's "Funeral Fog". Or Emperor's version of Darkthrone's "Cromlech".

 

[Stormwatch]

I love Judas Priest's cover of Johnny B Goode. Their albums from the era were pretty crap (Ram It Down, Turbo) but that cover is great.
Iron Maiden's covers are amazing too, like I've Got The Fire and their cover of Jethro Tull's Cross Eyed Mary.

 

[Profanity]

Blind Guardian-Enter Sandman
Blind Guardian-Surfin' USA
Metallica-Medley
Metallica-Die My Darling
Metallica-Whiskey In The Jar

 

[no country for old wainds]

Metallica - Am I Evil
Opeth - Circle of the Tyrants

 

[Stormwatch]

I like Metallicas older covers, the ones on Garage Days Revisited. But the Garage Inc album was fucking shite.

 

[None_So_Vile]

I quite like Decapitated's cover of Mandatory Suicide

 

[no country for old wainds]

Am I Evil ruled.

 

[Esteban]

Gamma Ray - Long live rock 'n roll
Eddy Antonini - I want out
Axel Rudi Pell - When a blind man cries
Slayer - In the garden of Eden (I'm not sure if that's the name of the song, it's from Iron Butterfly, this cover kicks ass)

 

[Stormwatch]

Slayer's cover of Priest's Dissident Aggressor is fucking superb. Their covers album was shit though.
Some of G N'Rs stuff on The Spaghetti Incident is great too (Down on the farm, Black Leather etc.)

 

[MeltingSnowman]

At The Gates' cover of Slaughterlord's song, Legion
Dark Tranquillity's cover of Iron Maiden's song, 22 Acacia Avenue

 

[swizzlenuts]

Dimmur Borgir - Burn In Hell!!

 

[Life Sucks]

Opeth and Obituary both do awesome covers of Celtic Frost's The Circle Of The Tyrants. Death did an interesting cover of Judas Priest's Painkiller. Monstrosity did a cool cover of Angel Of Death. Immortal did a cool cover of Celtic Frost's Beyond The North Waves.

 

[AjDeath]

Ripfence Desperate Cry....................................................oh, how about Cannibal Corpses Metallica cover, fuck me if I can't remember what it's called....Four Horsemen? Anyway, it shreds.

 

[MeltingSnowman]

Dimmur Borgir - Burn In Hell!!

Sorry for my little knowledge of music but who made the original?

[Hammer of Might]

That Iron Butterfly song is called 'in-agadda-da-vida' or something like that.

I'm not saying this is like one of the best covers, but I really like Cradle of Filth's version of Hallowed Be Thy Name.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Death-God of Thunder(Kiss)
Dissection-Antichrist(Slayer)
Naglfar-the Evil that Men Do(Iron Maiden)
Gehenna-Transilvanian Hunger(Darkthrone)
Satyricon-Kaatharian Life Code(Darkthrone)
Sacramentum-13 Candles(Bathory)

 

[Hammer of Might]

There's loads of great Maiden covers, can't name em all!
