Skid Row - C'Mon & Love Me (Kiss)
Helloween - I Stole Your Love (Kiss)
Cradle Of Filth - Hallowed Be Thy Name (Iron Maiden)
Earth - Children Of The Grave (Black Sabbath)

Iced Earth - Electric Funeral (Black Sabbath)
Iced Earth - The Ripper (Judas Priest)
Iced Earth - Shooting Star (Bad Company)
Blind Guardian - The Wizard - Uriah Heep

Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower (Bob Dylan)
Guns N Roses - Knockin On Heaven's Door (Bob Dylan)
Demons & Wizards - White Room (Cream)
Warrant - Photograph (Def Leppard)


WORST COVER SONGS NOW:
Tool - Calling Dr. Love (Kiss) ... what is going on there!!!
Toad The Wet Sprocket - Rock N Roll All Nite (Kiss) .... why would you make that song a slow ballad!!!! Wrong wrong wrong!
Cradle Of Filth - Hell Awaits (Slayer) ... boring, crap, idiotic.
Nirvana - Do You Love Me (Kiss) .... a fun Kiss song gone grunge just isn't right!

That's all that is in my head right now, I will probably also have millions more, lol.

The only one that springs to mind at the moment:

In Flames - Everything Counts (originally by Depeche Mode).

 

[Spiff]

That's in the 'good' section, by the way! Thought I'd mention that... although I could have just edited my last post. Hmm. Oh well, too late for that!

The good covers are

Anthrax: She, Watchin you, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Parasite
Slayer: Inagadadivita
Ozzy: Purple Haze
Megadeth: Anarcy In the UK, No more Mr Nice Guy
Goo Goo Doll: Don't Change
Metallica: Stone Cold Crazy
Bruce Dickenson: All the Young Dudes
Ramones: California Sun
Penny Wise: Surfin USA, I get Around, Down Under
Alanis Morressette: Prince of Pain

Worst
Kiss:he I kissed her
Skid Row: Holiday In The Sun, Pycho Therapy
Madonna:American Pie


But how could anyone say the Toad the wet Sproket's version of Rock and Roll all night is bad is rather amusing.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Did Anthrax also do Watchin' You? WOW that's 4 Kiss covers they've done then! That, She, Parasite and Love Her All I Can.

HAHAHA Toad The Wet Sprocket's version of ROck N ROll All Nite SUCKS HAHAHAH! Its shocking!

Sydo you must have the Ozzy Tribute Album "Bats Head Soup" I think thats what is called. Is it any good.

My fave of all time is the Young Ones - Living Doll with a quick Cliff Richard cameo throwen in.

Yes I do.

The two tracks I mentioned are great, as are the versions of Hellraiser and Shot In The Dark.

But 4 great tracks out of 11 is not a good average.

Not that the others suck, (only Goodbye To Romance does), they just aren't that good.

The Alice Cooper tribute is much better.
Infact, it's the sole reason I got into Alice! And then Dokken, Dio and Twisted Sister.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I reckon all of Metallica's Diamond Head covers are awesome. Is like those songs were written for them.

Also, I love Metallica's cover of Motorhead's "Stone Dead Forever", altho I can never make up my mind which is better, the cover or the original.
