Metal Bands covering non-metal songs

[llamaking]

anyone know any metal covers of non metal songs that are by good bands and actually good?

i mean i think this is a really cool idea and something that might be fun to do. there are some examples

atreyu - you give love a bad name
a day to remember - since u been gone
sea of treachery - misery business


but no band that is really good has tried this. i think it would be awesome to hear bloodbath do a death metal version of an alice in chains song or something.

Krieg - Venus in Furs

 

[Crapples]

Ghoul - What a Wonderful World

More hilarious than good really.

Six Feet Under - War Machine

The only SFU I can stand.

Don't mind the Fear Factory cover of Nirvana... fucking hate Nirvana, but this coveris really nice.

 

[Lifewithoutpain]

There's a bunch.

Coroner - I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Dragonlord - Emerald
Death - God of Thunder
Children of Bodom - Oops, I Did It Again

...and more...

or you can do the reverse which is much more difficult to find; non-metal bands doing metal covers. Only one comes to mind right now and that's Tori Amos doing Raining Blood.
