Metal covers of pop and other songs

[LunaTEKKE]

Adagio doing FAME (Donna Summer, maybe?)

Irene Cara. I actually have the original soundtrack -- will definitely have to check out the cover version!

The Agony Scene-Paint it Black

good cover but i prefer the VNV Nation version better.

the band "ILL REMEMBERED" does probably the best cover of paint it black.

 

[Big Al 2112]

What about Brainstorm's cover of Tony Christie's 'Amarillo'

I liked that one. They even played it at ProgPower V

\m/

 

[Heavenly Call]

Where can I find the Dragonland Cover of "Neverending Story?"

I don't think these have been mentioned (if they have I apologize!)
Shining Fury does a badass version of "Rosanna"
PC69 - "Pinball Wizard"
At Vance - "Winner Takes It All"
Bonfire - "Sweet Home Alabama" (not sure if that counts)
Disturbed - "Shout"
Type O Negative - "Cinnamon Girl"
Warrant - "Train Train" (I'm not kidding, it rocks)


One cover to avoid at all costs is Jack Frost's cover of "Hold on loosely" Oh good God.

There was a Death Metal tribute to Rush, but I forgot who put it out. IT's terrible, but worth the listen for humor purposes.

LOL Imagine Geddy Lee singing Death Metal...

 

[rockyracoon]

[urayoan]

Here's my list:

Slayer: Violent Pacification (D.R.I.)
Dream Theater: Battery (Metallica), perhaps the whole Master of Puppets album...
Dream Theater w/ Barney Greenway [Napalm Death]: Damage Inc. (Metallica)
Faith No More: War Pigs (Black Sabbath)

[biggs0072000]

Aqua Teen Hunger Force had an episode with Zack Wilde and a fake Geddy, with the Mp3 avaible here:http://www.adultswim.com/downloads/index.html?CN_movieType=mp3s
(Spirit Journey on page 2)

Does that count?

Fozzy - Balls To The Wall

Is that good ? Udo is so unique in his style, only the Dummy Burger version of "Metal Heart" I like. I am a big Tad Morose fan, but even with Urban on vocals (who is an awesome singer,) they trashed "Losing More than You Have Ever Had." I am a huge Accept fan, so I am picky about covers originally by them.

[Wyvern]

Rob Rock doing Abba's "Eagle"

Never heard it but the version of Sargant Fury kick major ass. You can find it in a CM metal tribute to ABBA.

Nevermore's cover of 'the sound of silence' was horrible, and ruins the song. At least if you are going to cover, you should keep the structure of the song there.

Haven't hear it and I know that I'm asking for being slaughtered for bashing on Nevermore but their cover of 'Love Bites' is also IMO.

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

Or Crystal Ball cover (brrrrr) I don't mind pop being covered but BS is BS uke:

Now good pop/oldies/not -so-metal covers I can recall:

Coroner - 'I Want You (she's so heavy)'
Prototype - 'Red Barchetta'
Megadeth - 'No More Mr Nice Guy'
Hallows Eve - 'Shear Heart Attack'
Helloween - 'All My Loving'
Saxon - 'St Me Free'
Judas Priest - 'Diamonds & Rust'
Glenn Tipton - 'Paint It Black'
Iron Savior - 'This Flight Tonight'

NP: Bruce Dickinson - 'Mars Within'

 

[Metal Zealot]

Here's a few more...

Flotsam & Jetsam – Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting (Elton John)
Testament – Nobody’s Fault (Aerosmith)
Nightwish – Over the Hills & Faraway (Gary Moore)
Iron Maiden – Massacre (Thin Lizzy)
Seven Wishes – Never Unchain the Night (Dokken)
Demons & Wizards – Immigrant Song (Led Zeppelin)
Dream Theater – Perfect Strangers (Deep Purple)
Dream Theater – Funeral For A Friend (Love Lies Bleeding) (Elton John)
