just down to opinion though

 

[ffanatic]

Agalloch-Kneel To The Cross
Sentenced-The Trooper

My personal favorite:

Faith No More-War Pigs

 

[Black Chaosstorm]

opeth - circle of the tyrant
by the way, who the fuck is the original artist of "kneel to the cross"?
the agalloch version rocks(even though i've played it to oblivion...)...

 

[Korgath]

Faith No More - War Pigs
Decapitated - Mandatory Suicide
Dimmu Borgir - Satan My Master, Burn In Hell
Immolation - Satan's Fall

[SculptedCold]

Life of Agony - Don't You (Forget About Me) (Simple Minds)

that sounds awesome. must find it.

 

[sixxswine]

I happen to like Maiden's cover of Doctor Doctor by UFO.

 

[Starbreaker]

Good call sixxswine. After seeing them on this past tour a couple times I dug out my Lord of the Flies single and popped that song in. Reminded me very much of their use of that song for their intro music. It is a good cover and a great song of course.

 

[J.]

that sounds awesome. must find it.

If you're expecting LOA's version of Don't You (Forget About Me) to be brutal metalcore like River Runs Red, don't bother. The cover is the last song on their second album, Ugly. LOA's version is a little slower but then picks up speed for a grand finale.

 

[Profano]

All covers of Emperor:
A Fine Day to Die - (Bathory Cover)
Ærie Descent - (Thorns Cover)
Cromlech - (Darkthrone Cover)
Gypsy - (Mercyful Fate Cover)

and the killing version of:

Funeral Fog - (Mayhem Cover)

I prefer Emperor playing covers then their own songs.

 

[Niklas]

I happen to like Maiden's cover of Doctor Doctor by UFO.

yeh.. great cover

 

[Astral Poetry]

It's amazing how many times the same subject can resurface after just a little while. My vote goes to:
Emperor - A Fine Day To Die (Bathory)

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Death - Painkiller(Priest)
CoF(hate the band, but the cover is great) - Hallowed be Thy Name(Maiden)
Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal(MJ)
In Flames - Everything Counts(DM)
Dream Theater - Bad(U2)

 

[Gentleman of the Lake]

I did not know that Sabbath song was a cover. Who did the original?

I don't know if I'm spelling it right, but they are called Aynsley Dunbar's Retalliation.

 

[opacity]

Ancient Wisdom - The Spell
Morgul - She
Sunterra - Out of The Dark
EToS - As I Die
GnR - Black Leather | Ain't It Fun


others, that are fun to listen:
Type 0 Negative - Baby One More Time
Ten Masked Men - Livin La Vida Loca
Uhrilehto - Summer Son :Spin:

 

[Stormwatch]

The "Best of the B Sides" cd in the Iron Maiden box set is full of brilliant B sides.

 

[Niklas]

Dark Tranquillity - 22 Acacia Avenue is cool too
Six Feet Under - Wrathchild

 

[Krilons Resa]

Opeth - Circle of Tyrants (dunno)
Faith No More - Warpigs (Sabbath....duh)
Katatonia - Nightmares by the Sea (Jeff Buckley)
