Thanks. I have no idea who that is. Pop Star?

This was his big hit...

Awesome, Thanks. I think the Roboter song is Kraftwerk but I am not familiar with them at all except in name.

Probably. I typed "roboter" into google and after a few German and ghey dvd sites popped up, there was a listing for a song called 'Die Roboter' by Kraftwerk. I guess that's it.

It was. the AXXIS version is fantastic. The drummer really tears it up on the song. the original is... not good. I don't electronica though.

HA! I always thought that song was Air Supply. I have heard that one a few times.

I think that maybe Paul Young was a bigger star in his homeland (U.K). The song posted by MetalGuy is a cover of a Hall & Oats track so maybe you have heard theirs?

Actually no. I had to check it out on youtube and I like the Hall & Oates version quite a bit. To me it sounds like it has a little of that 60's Motown flair to it.

I'll admit it, I'm obsessed with this lot, but this IS a killer cover

Didn't scope out the entire thread to see if anybody posted this or not, so....

Stormy posted their cover of "I Want Out" today on Facebook, which is great, but this is way better!

I like these guys, a bit like Nouvelle Vague but with metal instead of new wave.(and not as cool)

This is my favorite from the three I've heard




On the subject of the mighty Vague!

This is a cover that completely blows the original away




Love Hexvessel, love Rosalie from Purson, it's hardly surprising that I love this

(This has 196 views on YouTube, Nicky Minaj's song has nearly 28million, this world sucks!! )

These have absolutely nothing to do with metal, they are just great!!







Besides, there are plenty of Stones & Dylan fans on here

That sucks dude! This, however is how to cover the Batman theme

Lawl! Two different themes, though. And the geek in me adores Powerglove.

Didn't go through all the pages to see if this was mentioned yet (I doubt it). It is not metal, but I think there were other non-metal examples listed in this thread. One of my favorite covers is Karel Fialka's version of The Doors "People Are Strange."

Some people regard this as one of the worst songs ever, but I've always liked it.  It definitely benefits from the metal treatment.

One of the worst songs ever? Really?

I loved the Donna Summer version as a kid (I was a big Disco fan  ) I even like the Richard Harris version.

Quote :

In 1992, humorist Dave Barry conducted a poll among his readers of the worst songs ever, as recorded in Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs. Barry's readers selected Harris' version of "MacArthur Park" as the worst song ever recorded, both in terms of "Worst Lyrics" and "Worst Overall Song"

The worst song in history has to be something by Celine Dion! It has to be. There are so many of them, and they're all so horrible!! 

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

Loving these guys ATM!! So what better song to put up than the Lady Gaga cover hahah!!!
