What do you think of Mullet For My Valentine's version of Ozzy's Crazy Train?
I thought it was pretty terrible, but then, I haven't heard a good Ozzy cover in a long time.

Oh and don't listen to Arch Enemy's Symphony Of Destruction, a perfect example how to ruin a great song. :Puke:
I agree, downtuned guitars don't work with Megadeth songs, it lacks the tight, razor sharp trademark Mustaine sound.

To be fair, I think it's better to not try to imitate the original. If it was supposed to sound like Megadeth then you should just listen to Megadeth. It's supposed to sound like AE. However, I do think the could have done tuned too C instead of A. A seems like a little too much on that recording. It sounded great on AOR though!

Well, the thing I dislike more is Angela's barking... :erk:
I generally HATE when songs that are sung in original get covered in a "barking" manner. Arch Enemy is no stranger to such practice, as they've managed to butcher classics such as "Aces High" and "Starbreaker" earlier on... :bah:
