You know what I've always wanted to hear? A metal version of Carpenter's Superstar. That would kick ass.

It's not metal, but Sonic Youth did a decent version.

I do enjoy that version quite a bit. I just really want to hear this razor sharp lead rip out the flute melody, followed by some dark sinister voice for the verse. If I only had a rock band...

here are some of my favorite covers...

Scorpions doing tainted love...



Veronicas doing rock you like a hurricane



Slade doing love is like a rock



Joan Jett...has done many covers but I like this cover of the 50s classic bird dog



Axel Rudi Pell  In The Air Tonight



Going way back...Rage Covering Blame It On The Night



Riot doing born to be wild

Sam KINISON



Yeah.. he changed the lyrics on these 2 but they are still cool...




And This classic..

What this forum needs is more Metal Church!  

Don't know if anyone's posted this, but I think this is just great. On a side note, whatever the hell happened to this great band?

One of the coolest Maiden covers I've ever heard.

Damone is one kick ass band, I just thought Id say that...

Prolly my fav cover of all time

Spam!!!  

Looks like Powerwolf just released an EP exclusively through Rock Hard Magazine in Germany. I'm hoping to score a copy.Looks like it got some exclusive material, like these two kick-ass covers:





Love this band!  

This is pretty awesome.



Dolly Parton's "Jolene" slowed down from 45rpm to 33rpm.

Ha! I've been listening to that album a lot on Spotify and always have to skip that song. Can't stand it. Seems out of place on that album, too. Glad to find out it's a cover.

Me not like. The original is better.

Yes indeed. Deep Purple isn't an easy band to cover and Metal Church did it. I like it.

If we're having Jolene!



  Slowed down, punked up or just the Dolly version, this is just a great song.

Has anyone mentioned Testament's cover of Nobody's Fault? That f*cker definitely belongs here.

This cover is sooo good I wanted to make a new thread about it just so it doesn't get overlooked...

Of course it is, that's the might TOTO!!! But I like their take on the song, as it's one that doesn't seem easy to cover...

Wow, brilliant!
