Best cover song

[member987]

Judas Priest - Diamonds & Rust (Joan Baez)

never was and neve will be a better one!!! :banger:

Priest originally did the cover of Diamonds And Rust in 1974, as a heavy metal song. On their recent tour, Priest are doing Diamonds as an acoustic cover. It rocks as well!! :thumbsup:

Sucks ass. Sorry, you asked.

But I'd feel remiss if I didn't add something positive to balance my blunt negativity.

Dimmu Borgir does an AWESOME cover of Twisted Sister's "Burn In Hell"

 

[dallasv8]

megadeth do a wicked cover of "paranoid" and also they done a cover of "no more mister nice guy" both come out pretty damn good

 

[XxBeSxX]

Nirvana's cover of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World"

Marilyn Manson's version of "Sweet Dreams"

these are my 2 favorites.

I like the cover version of Falco's song "Jeanny" from Reamonn feat. Xavier Naidoo.

:hatsoff: Jackson

 

[om3ga]

I suppose "Shake, Rattle and Roll" by Bill Haley and the Comets' which was a cleaned-up cover version originally recorded by Big Joe Turner.

(heard about this months ago on a BBC TV documentary about Soul Music)

I'm a HUGE maiden fan and I must say only two bands do a hell of a job with thier songs. Cradle of Filth and Steel Prophet.

Sex Pistols' "My Way" (Fred Sinatra)

 

[Meritscholar]

Me First & the Gimme Gimmes -- Wild World (Cat Stevens).
Korn covered Shooting Star (Bad Company) on the Wonderland sdtrk.
Red Hot Chili Peppers -- Higher Ground (Stevie Wonder)

[ghoul]

Iced Earth redoing "Hallowed Be Thy Name" from Iron Maiden

i prefer the cradle of filth version

 

[poggy]

Higher and Higher - Al Green (you might remember this in Ghostbusters 2). The original was done by Rita Coolidge in the 70's.

 

[senob44]

Marilyn Manson's version of "Sweet Dreams"

That would be my choice.

 

[Setting Sun]

The Ramones - Baby I Love You
Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind
Sugababes - I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor
Beastie Boys - Start

 

[gmaxman1212]

slayer-In da gadda divda, they gave the song the cutting edge iron butterfly surely intended and without the extendo drum solo.

 

[hotlikecandy]

Bands that cover The Cure songs sound so different. And not in an entirely good way.

I like how the Marley kids use Bob's songs. Not bad.

 

[alexpnz]

the mercyful fate/king diamond melody off "garage inc." by metallica is 11 mins long and should be heard to be believed!!:bowdown::bowdown:
