Top 3 Favorite Cover Songs

Slayer playing Dissident Aggressor by Judas Priest.

Another case of a band remaking an original song all their own. I've always liked both versions because of the diversity.

I got Rock N Roll to save me from the cold, and if thats all there is, that aint so bad. Rock N Roll! - Lemmy

That Nevermore cover of Love Bites is certainly thinking out of the box and making it their own song.....

Three more covers that I dig

I Want You (She's So Heavy) The Beatles - Coroner I love their take on the song, it just works for me.

Burn Deep Purple - WASP Not my fav cover that they've done (The Real Me takes that one) but It captures DPs energy

Screaming For Vengeance Judas Priest - Sepultura Raw and aggressive...whats not to like?

I like Opeth's cover of Remember Tomorrow

Pig Destroyer - Genital Grinder and Exhume To Consume (carcass covers)

Anyone ever heard Mastodon - The Emerald (Thin Lizzy cover)?

Today I would say these:

Metallica - Am I Evil? (Diamond Head)

Skyclad - Emerald (Thin Lizzy)

Sepultura - Orgasmatron (Motorhead)

Tomorrow one of these might show up:

Gamma Ray - Heavy Metal Mania (Holocaust)

Anthrax - Got the Time (Joe Jackson)

Metallica - Last Caress/Green Hell (Misfits)

Metallica - Turn the Page (Bob Seger)

Metallica - So What? (Anti-Nowhere League)

A Perfect Circle - Imagine (John Lennon)

Solitude Aeturnus - Shame on the Night (Dio)

Forbidden - Dissident Aggressor (Judas Priest)

Heaven's Gate - This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us (Sparks)

Nevermore - Love Bites (Judas Priest)

I usually don�t appreciate cover songs much, but here�s a couple that I think are pretty great:

Defleshed playing "Red Hot" by M�tley Crue

Here�s Benediction playing "Forged in Fire" by Anvil. Love that one:

...and Metal Church covered by Panzerchrist:

Thought I would throw this topic out to the masses and see where it goes.

Top 3 favorite cover songs done that you've heard. Why three? So, it could introduce enough songs from the "hopeful" responses to get some conversations started without inundating the forum all at once with lists so long that no one will read them.

I'll start off with 3 of my favorites:

Mexican Radio (Wall of Voodoo) - Celtic Frost I love the raw sound of it and the fact of them goofing off for a change.

Children of the Grave (Black Sabbath) - White Zombie Love the production on it. Makes an already great song better.

Blitzkrieg (Diamond Head) - Metallica Probably my favorite of all the Diamond Head covers Metallica did.

Hmmm. Just thinking. I used to have a mix tape, back in the day, that my friend Jeff did for me that had every one of the "ooohs" and "heys" that Tom Warrior of Celtic Frost ever dropped into a song all run together. I remember listening to it the first time and laughing so hard that Pepsi shot right out of my nose. Hilarious s#it. Wonder what ever happened to that damn thing.....
