Songs you would like bands to cover

Since everyone here has different songs they like, what other bands would you like to cover songs that you're interested in? Here's ones that I would like to see.

Fear Factory - "Ashes" by Five Finger Death Punch

Slayer - "Painkiller" by Judas Priest

Iron Maiden - "Turbo Lover" by Judas Priest

Motorhead - "Prowler" by Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden covering Blood Red Skies (Judas Priest).

Believer-Oxodizer by Fear Factory
The Faceless-Crystal Mountain by Death

Cant really think of much that wouldn't sound awkward or just flat out bad.

Living Sacrifice - Refuse/Resist by Sepultera
Stryper - Denim & Leather by Saxon
Primal Fear - Be Quick or Be Dead by Maiden

Alice In Chains - "Mr. Blackwell" (Kiss)

Have you heard Death's cover of Painkiller?

I always though a death metal band should cover Kiss' War Machine...then it happened.

Yup, it's pretty decent.

I wanted Ultimatum to cover Heavy Metal Machine by Riot.

i like it when heavy bands record heavy versions of non heavy songs. like Nevermore did with The Sound of Silence, or Crowbar's cover of Dream Weaver.

i'd love to hear a serious cover of Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart, maybe done in doom, or gothic metal style. i could definitely hear some "beauty & the beast" vocals on that.

i know Necrocomiccon already did that song, but it sound's like a joke. like when death metal bands cover bands like Priest & Mercyful Fate.

I agree. Like Type O Negative covering "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Crofts. To me that's much more interesting than a metal band covering another metal band.

absolutely. with metal, if you're a fan, it's already done right. however, there are some great pop/rock songs out there that would be amazing if they were beefed up. that Type-O song, along with Danzig's cover of Elvis Presley's Trouble is the perfect example.

Danzig did "Trouble" as the encore tune when I saw the Lucifuge tour, great cover.

I just thought of another one that I love, Fear Factory doing Gary Numan's Cars. (w/Numan)

I always thought Testament would do a great (metal) version of "Golden Country" by REO Speedwagon.

Agreed on loving metal covers being from other genres. I've never been a fan of covers sounding close to the originals. Just never saw the point in that. Give it your own spin or take.

Always thought a thrash band should do a take on The Lords Of The New Church's Open YOur Eyes.
