favorite cover songsFollow

I completely disagree, on both counts, but to each his/her own.



As much as I loathe everything Metallica since Load, I DO think Garage Inc. is a really good album. "Whiskey in the Jar" is my personal favorite.

And, to answer the OP, my favorite cover song?

"The Zoo"- Bruce ********** Totally pwns the crappy Scorpions version.

EDIT: Apparently, filters exist that won't let me say "Bruce D*ickinson".

I don't go by numbers. I go by what I like to listen to.



I don't have an opinion on that either way. How many albums did Mustaine appear on? One, maybe two? "Kill 'em All" and "Ride The Lightning"? Forgive me, it's been awhile.



So, it's ludicrous if I like a particular band more than you do? It's ludicrous if I don't worship the band you apparently fawn over? Please.



Whiny *****? Sounds a lot like Lars Ulrich.

The Cranberries "Go Your Own Way": Fleetwood Mac
Concrete Blonde "Mandocello": Cheap Trick
Concrete Blonde "Little Wing": Jimi Hendrix
Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies "Nobody Does it Better": Carly Simon
Red Hot Chili Peppers "Love Rollercoaster": Ohio Players
Siouxsie and the Banshees "This Wheel's on Fire": Bob Dylan

Forgot to mention a second nod to:
Cake "I Will Survive": Gloria Gaynor--first time I heard this cover I couldn't stop laughing. Not because it was bad, but because it was so unexpected.

Oh yea, forgot a few:
1000 **** DJ's - Supernaut (Black Sabbath Cover)
Bella Morte - My Heart Will Go On (Yes, the Celine Dion song)
God Lives Underwater - Fly On The Windscreen (Depeche Mode cover)
Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide
Shinedown - Simple Man
Tori Amos - Raining Blood
(and i hate to admit this one) Limp Bizkit/Staind - Bring the Noize
Guns N' Roses - Since I Don't Have You
Danzig - Trouble (even though I *HATE* Elvis)



And on the Metallica issue, here is my stance: I have one major problem with the cd's made after the Black Album.... they were on different discs. They have come up with enough good material since Load to make 1 (one) good cd. That's it. I'm not counting S&M cause that was cool.. and St. Anger just sucks. And the Die, Die My Darling cover was the best job of ruining a damn good song I have ever seen.

Haha, I hate Lars..

Just wondering, as much as I hate to sound.. Uhm.. I dunno, stupid?

What the hell is a cover song?



So true..

That's news to me. Was that on the cd single? Details please.

Some more I forgot:

KMFDM's "Light" covered by NIN
U2's "Mysterious Ways" covered by KMFDM

Weird stuff. One more question. The cd I have is on the Wax Trax! label, does TVT own them? Thanks for the info though; you learn something new everyday.

Ok. Best freaking cover of all time IMO:


Dynamite Hack's cover of NWA's "boys in the hood".

It just doesn't get better then that...

Ice Ice Baby.. Do you realize how much hate I have for that song?

I also hate Vanilla Ice..

KoRn's cover of Lowriders

Gotta say, Foo Fighters version of Have A Cigar does top a lot of covers, but heres some more i like:

Whiskey In A Jar by Metallica

Tetris theme by Reel Big Fish :D

Barbie Girl by Home Grown, cos the original SUCKED!

Weird Al Yanchovic has some good parodies too, but they are only good once, theyre just boring the second time and in my household, the third time, and the fourth...fifth...sixth ~_~

THANK YOU. Even though they haven't done any covers that I know of..... Went and saw the may show in Portland, Killswitch Engaged opened, small venue, kicked ******* ***. Great show.
