Metal covers of pop and other songs

[urinalcakemix]

I swear I'm going to stab the first person to recommend Children of Bodom's cover of Britney Spears.

I liked that cover. Its absolutely hilarious. I highly reccomend it

*Runs and hides*

Primal Fear doing Gary Moore's "Out In The Fields" is friggin incredible.

 

[Diabolik]

The kings of covers have got to At Vance:
Eye Of The Tiger- Survivor
Shout- Tears For Fears
Logical Song- Super Tramp
Desperado- The Eagles
Money, money, money- Abba
S.O.S.- Abba

Also Helloween's Metal Jukebox has a bunch of covers.

Firewind covers the Scorpions "Pictured Life." One of the very few metal to metal covers I like better than the original.

I hear CoB do a wicked Britney Spears cover.

you beat me to the At Vance covers. They do great cover songs.

On what single or album did At Vance do Eye of the Tiger? That's one of my favorite 80s songs and At Vance has a knack for doing that stuff well.

 

[adaher]

I'll add that a fairly unknown band by the name of Sigma covered "Maniac".

 

[Magius]

On what single or album did At Vance do Eye of the Tiger? That's one of my favorite 80s songs and At Vance has a knack for doing that stuff well.

It's a bonus track on Heart of Steel

I'm really surprised that no-one has mentioned Adagio's cover of Fame yet.

That song kicks my ass nine different ways and then some.

 

[KingsGene]

F5 - "What I Am" (Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians)

 

[adaher]

I'm really surprised that no-one has mentioned Adagio's cover of Fame yet.


Ooh. Is that one Underworld?

 

[Ascension]

Eldritch covering "My Sharona"...l found a new respect for that song when l heard their version.

 

[Ascension]

I'm really surprised that no-one has mentioned Adagio's cover of Fame yet.


Ooh. Is that one Underworld?

It's on the new release.....Dominate.

 

[SeaStorm]

Sonata Arctica covering The Cure's "World In My Eyes"

Actually, it's one of my favorite SA songs, and I love a lot of SA songs...

 

[Undershadow]

Hey how about, Lion Share doing "Touch of Evil" - JP or I'm surprised no one has said After Forever doing "The Evil That Men Do" IM. Can somebody jog my memory, but did Magnatude Nine do IM "Flight of Icarus"?

Rock on my brothers and sisters!

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime II (maybe they should of did an ABBA cover to liven it up, oh well no one is really surprised)

Flight Of Icarus is on Reality In Focus and they also do Rainbows' "Man on the siver mountain" on Chaos to Control........

 

[ragingsaxmachine]

*screams* oh baby BABY!

Just gave this a thought and came up with a few ones not mentioned yet I believe:

Angra - Kate Bush: Wuthering Heights
Axel Rudi Pell - Alphaville: Forever Young
Lemur Voice - Michael Jackson: Beat It
Talisman - Seal: Crazy
To/Die/For - Cutting Crew: (I Just) Died In Your Arms
To/Die/For - Sandra: In The Heat Of The Night
Tarot - Genesis: Mama
Waltari - Madonna: Vogue
Warmen - Heart: Alone

 

[Mosquito]

Sonata Arctica covering The Cure's "World In My Eyes"

Actually, it's one of my favorite SA songs, and I love a lot of SA songs...

Actually that is a Depeche Mode cover, not The Cure. Great song though.

 

[Kaosaur]

I'm really surprised that no-one has mentioned Adagio's cover of Fame yet.


Ooh. Is that one Underworld?

It's on Dominate

EDIT: Damn...Ascension beat me to it.

 

[7thSaviour]

Oratory's brilliant cover of The Bangles' "Eternal Flame".

 

[Meanmistreator]

Eldritch covering "My Sharona"...l found a new respect for that song when l heard their version.

Didn't Pink Cream 69 also cover My Sharona? LOL. Either Andromeda or Adagio did Zepplin's "The Immigrant Song".

 

[Soul of Ice]

I don't think I saw these mentioned

All these rock, except for the ones noted, which do not rock/rock as much.

Engine - Fascination Street (the cure)
Arsis - Roses on White Lace (alice cooper)
Forbidden - 21st Century Schizoid Man (King Crimson)
Intruder - 25 or 6 to 4 (Chicago)
Metal Church - Highway Star (Uriah Heep)
Nevermore - Silent Hedges (?)
Redemption - The Real Thing (Faith No More) (not as good as the original)
Toxik - Out on the Tiles (Led Zep)
Vintersorg - Rainbow Demon (I know it was mentioned but it is a mighty cool cover - Uriah Heep)
Wolf - Don't Fear the Reaper (BOC) (although it isn't a good cover)
Black Label Society - A Whiter Shade of Pale (which is done in the same fasion as the original, but I think it is a superior version)

Can't...resist...being slightly off topic...
Edge of Sanity - Blood of My Enemies (Manowar!)
