songs that bands need to stop covering

[Destroyer Of Orden]

Inno A Satana will be difficult to do well... Good luck, i'd love to hear it if you can post it... I plan on coverign the same song!

 

[Bearded Axe]

Im in a Iron Maiden Coverband, there good songs to play, cause everyone can sing along.

 

[SuicideMachine]

ive never once heard a Pantera cover, pretty strange i think...

 

[Triumphant Apostle]

ALL Slayer songs because I really haven't heard a GREAT cover yet...
ALL Black Sabbath because it's been done to death now.
Hallowed Be Thy Name-Iron Maiden

Triumphant Apostle - Pro-Pain have recently done a pretty good rendition of 'South Of Heaven' on their covers album... and thank God, they cover Motorhead's 'Iron Fist' instead of 'Ace Of Spades'...

 

[johnny d]

too many slayer, maiden, sabbath, and priest covers......

 

[Hammer of Might]

Agreed, but it is understandable really - these godfathers of metal are bound to have influenced a lot of today's bands....

...can't say I've heard too many Metallica covers though in comparison!

 

[Episteme]

The rock/metal bands in my school pretty much always play Metallica...Badly too

Bands should seriously stop covering Billy Idol's classics. The only good cover of a Billy Idol record I have ever heard is Rebel Yell by HIM. Also, Limp Bizkit's take on Mission Impossible was crap. Korn's cover of One by Metallica sounded shit!!

 

[Destroyer Of Orden]

Hah hah hah... and you thought any of these bands would make good covers of other shitty bands??? Bodom did a good Billy Idol Cover though

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I didn't even know that was Korn covering One when I first heard it on a CD my friend gave me.

Raining Blood by far, though Vader's version is great live. why dont bands ever go out on a limb and cover unusal stuff? like Immolation or Dissection or something?

 

[Astral Poetry]

Let me know if you get that Emperor one recorded and online, I'd like to hear it!

I think it's a song that needs to be approached carefully though, because it would be easy to kill what makes the original so good.

Good luck with what you decide to do anyway!

We didn't really plan on recording it, but if we get a chance, perhaps. It's a bit tricky because of our lack of synth, but guitar parts can cover them if played right.

One of my bands in going to be doing a cover of The Trooper. It's just a tradition we have that at practice, as soon as we are tuned up, me and my guitarist play the first minute or so of the song, so we decided we should just ploay the whole song. We might or might not play it live, don't know.

My other band, we actually wanna cover a few songs. One would be Wasted Years by Maiden(which I don't think I've heard anybody cover ever), Mirror Mirror by Blind Guardian, Downfall by Bodom, The Somberlain or Where Dead Angels Lie, and if we ever get a good set time and have about 15 minutes to kill, Dante's Inferno or the Something Wicked Trilogy(Iced Earth)

 

[Rottuated]

There are a whole lot of Maiden covers...usually they aren't done well in comparison to how the original song sounds, most of the time.

I'd like to hear more Death covers. And I've yet to hear a single Opeth cover.

 

[SuicideMachine]

Some Carcass covers wouldnt go amiss either!
