what's your favorite coversong?

[Metal Mel]

I never knew till recently that Quiet Riots Cum on feel the noise was a cover from Slade. Great Song..great Band.

 

[GREGORMEISTER]

Don't know if they ever recorded it but in 99' Type O Negative did "round the bend" by CCR but it was Carnivore style and it was the best cover I've ever heard to date....

 

[fuel126]

LOVED Nevermore's cover of "The Sound of Silence" and Death's cover of "Painkiller"

 

[fuel126]

also Graveworm's cover of "Losing My Religion" by REM

 

[Lynchsta]

Judas Priest remaking Fleetwood Mac's "The Green Manalishi".

They took that song and made it there own!

 

[METALDUDE]

Man there are so many.... and I can post more over time as I think of them...but this one entered my head right away.

 

[lad]

Aye, come to think of it there're quite a few.

Solitude Aeturnus did a sweet cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name, probably 'cause of Lowe's vocals.

 

[mazathemonster]

I have two favourites...

Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams
I'm not usually a fan of Marilyn Manson but I love this cover. I love the original, too, but I love the gloominess of Manson's version.

Children of Bodom - Bed of Nails
I love Children of Bodom and Alice Cooper so when I heard this song I instantly loved it.

I guess any band that can turn an 80's classic into a kick ass metal song is too awesome for one hand. \mm/

 

[Thoth-Amon]

probably Hendrix- All Along the Watchtower

Death - Painkiller
Patti Smith - My Generation
Marilyn Manson - Rock n Roll my pals
