Best Cover Versions

Turisas - Rasputin
Premium Link Upgrade

Originally a Boney M song if memory serves.

 

[neighborboy]

Cat Power - Satisfaction
Premium Link Upgrade (upbeat version)
Premium Link Upgrade (slow version)

I like what they do with this song because it's more interesting than "let's make a metal version of X"

In total agreement! So many covers are just lazy versions with loud guitars etc by bland metal bands!

Anyway, I like this version of Space Oddity from The Langley Schools Music Project

Johnny Cash Hurt

I wonder if anyone else has seen the Muppet video version... :eek:

That's not a cover. That song's been around for a long time and people think Thin Lizzy made it, but they did their own version of it. So Metallica's version of the song likewise is not a cover, since no one knows who originally wrote the song.
