didnt sepultura do symptoms of the universe by black sabbath?not sure what it was on though.

 

[wildfyr]

eh, i figure there are probably tons of Sabbath covers out there. Megadeth's cover of Paranoid is on Hidden Treasures, too. everyone who's covered Sabbath would be a project in itself. i'd like to uncover a wider ground than that. just doing some personal research. i know there is probably a lot more to uncover. i'll try to add as i remember them but feel free to add your own! i've been trying to remember if Testament did an Aerosmith cover. i think they did Nobody's Fault from Rocks but i can't remember if it's live or not. (dammit) i'm a baaad fan.

They sure did. That track was on The New Order album, they even did a video for it that got a good bit of play on Head Bangers Ball.

Here's a couple more---

Ratt - Walkin' The Dog (Ratt E.P.) (Aerosmith cover)

Motley Crue - Helter Skelter (Shout At The Devil) (Beatles cover)

CJSS - Communication Breakdown (World Gone Mad) (David Chastain's band) (Led Zep cover)

Anthrax - Got The Time (Persistence of Time) (Joe Jackson cover)

Wrathchild America - Time (Climbin' The Walls) (Pink Floyd cover)

 

[wildfyr]

i have a couple more too:

Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons Heh, a bunch o' stuff. Elton John, LZ, DP (eh, progmetal? so what )

Exodus - Fabulous Disaster - Low Rider [War] \m/

Judas Priest - Sin After Sin - Diamonds & Rust [Joan Baez]

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Um what about:

Mama We're All Crazee Now by Quiet Riot (originally by Slade)
Cum On Feel The Noize by Quiet Riot (originally by Slade)
Hair Of The Dog by Britny Fox, Guns N Roses & Warrant (they'll all done it!) (originally by Nazareth)

[Bryant]

Fates Warning - "Closer to the Heart" (Rush cover)
Vanden Plas - "Point of Know Return" (Kansas cover)

I just thought I would add a couple of songs from a couple of my favorite prog bands. There have been so many tribute albums, I could make a list a mile long.
