Best non-metal covers made by metal band

[cfh]

My personal favourite list is: Children of bodom-oops.. I did it again,
Megadeth-These boots are made for walking and Diablo-Dancing queen.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Sonata Arctica - The Wind Beneath My Wings

 

[byrne]

I thought that "Oops I did it again" cover was atrocious.

I enjoyed Machine Head's - Message in a Bottle, but I can't really think of any other ones at the moment.

 

[fat bastard]

nevermores version of the silent hedges is pretty good even though i never heard the original.

Isn't it the Sound of Silence? The original done by Simon and Garfunkel, or are you referring to a different one?

 

[petrucci_dude]

My mistake, mate. You're right, it's Silent Hedgies by Bauhaus.

Nevermore's cover of 'the sound of silence' is great. Don't even remember what the original sounds like.

two favorites

 

[CF87]

Crowbar's cover of "No Quarter"

\m/(><)\m/

Crowbar is a great band.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Krieg - Venus In Furs (Velvet Underground).

Though, it has to be listened to with the rest of The Black House for full effect.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Golem's cover of Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre Du Printemps.

It's an interesting one, I'll give them that. A hell of a lot better than Diathra's godawful Vivaldi cover, that's for sure.
