out of curiousity...

the timebird loves the cure and black metal so he should know

while we're discussing black metal bands doing serious covers of non-metal songs, krieg's cover of the velvet underground's venus in furs is pretty cool imo
 
marilyn manson may have...he did a bunch of 80s shit
like 10 bands have done a cover of paint it black though
 
Fucking hell, black metal and the Cure. Now if that ain't a fucking well baked recipe for shit-pie, I don't know what is.
