Cool, but odd cover songs by Metal groups

[Boru]

AFI are one hell of a cover band

Love their version of Halloween (Misfits)

While we're talking about punk covers, I'm not a huge Pennywise fan but I love their covers of California Dreaming and Land Down Under

Yeah they do some really good covers.

 

[Jreg]

In Flames does really good covers, actually. Land of Confusion is good. Murders in the Rue Morgue is good too. They did a few others.

They also covered Depeche Mode's "Everything Counts." Actually, if someone put together a Depeche Mode tribute CD, you could probably get a good deal of metal bands on it.

Doesn't Depeche Mode sing Personal Jesus? If so Johnny Cash covers that sing and it is awesome

JOHNNY CASH

Anarchy in The UK- Megadeth

JOHNNY CASH

yes.... and I liked that song, but Marilyn Manson almost wrecked it for me.

Anarchy in The UK- Megadeth

I like Megadeth's version of this Sex Pistols classic. They do a good job with Paranoid too.

Not heard Manson's version that I know of but Johnny Cash's version is very good. Manson's cover of Sweet Dreams was odd at first but I think he did a good job with it.

there is a band called zombie apocalypse that did a cover of "welcome to the jungle" by GNR. its on the GNR tribute album. the song doesnt sound similar at all though

 

[R.I.P.2]

Pain - Eleanor Rigby

 

[dill_the_devil]

Soilwork - "Burn" by Deep Purple

Cash did an awesome cover of Rusty Cage by Soundgarden.

And I never have liked Manson or his covers, but Sweet Dreams isn't as good as Personal Jesus IMO.

 

[Impudent]

Sodom - "Surfin' Bird"

 

[KMADD]

Didn't that scorpions drummer covered "Wipe Out" in the 80's his name
eludes me.
Animal Fuck Like A Beast-Seibenburgen (wasp cover)
Metal Heart-Dimmu Borgir (Accept Cover)
Van Halen did a lot of 40 to 60's era covers.

Rusty Cage is awesome

Oh yeah I heard that one...

 

[Zephyrus]

Yes I much prefer Opeth's Circle of the Tyrant to the CF original.

 

[Susperia]

Has anyone mentioned Reverend Bizarre's cover of Burzum's Dunkelheit?

 

[TylerTheNuke]

I'll second come to daddy by dillinger escape plan. That is wierd as fuck. I'll also second painkiller by death. I mean, where the hell did that falsetto come from? Gypsy by emperor is real cool.

I don't know, but that cover is badass.

I enjoy all of the Metallica covers of the Misfits songs. They are very true to the originals but heavier which is cool. Also for a note of interest Def Leppard's new CD Yeah! is a cd full of 70's rock covers. Def Leppard is a guilty pleasure for me.
