Cover songs that improve on the original

[snow2fall]

No matter how much I like Bad Religion: Anathema "Better Off Dead" > original
Also: The Wounded "Smells Like Teen Spirit" > Nirvana

another decent cover version: Sun Of The Sleepless "Dunkelheit" (Burzum)

Nocternity - Pagan Poetry. Better than Bjork's version.

Hehe that sounds interesting. That Björk song is really good, and it would be quite interesting to hear a metal version of, any chance of you uploading it?

Emperor - Cromlech (Originally by Darkthrone on Soulside Journey)

The production does it again, plus they play it faster. A great song made even better.

Yep. That, and:

Tsjuder - Sacrifice (Bathory)
Aborted - Drowned (Entombed)
Cannibal Corpse - No Remorse (Metallica)

(Insert cries of "SACRILEGE!" from the other RC regulars here)

Satisfaction by Devo > those old geezerz

 

[Henrik Main]

Get the fucking song title right at least you filthy vunt... The song is called "Drowned"

EDIT: And fuck you and your ninja edits

This is why I thought you had Tourette's syndrome.

Speaking of which, Marduk's version of Paint it Black is really cool as well (and no it's no blast fest, rather pretty groovy), I'll upload it in case someone's interested

Did I see that right? Marduk covering a Rolling Stones song?!

I'd totally buy remasters of the first three Metallica albums if they fixed that major glitch. Don't give a shit about Justice, those basslines were shit anyhow. Mercy killing.

Same here actually, though I still pride myself on not actually owning a Metallica album proper
