Shania Twain might be hot, but she needs to stay the hell away from AC/DC's music! It could be worse though...

Yah, that's kinda what I thought. I was digging it pretty well until the screams kicked in.

It wasn't crap. I actually thought that they did a pretty good job compared to the stuff they normally play. I was impressed. Wanna hear a bad song? go for this one:

I'm listening to Wayne's Metal Church in work today and I gotta say, great album, but the cover of Mountain's "Mississippi Queen" is just horrendous. It lacks any balls whatsoever. They totally neutered the opening riff and then it just goes downhill from there.

Eyemetal, that video is hilarious!
It was kinda cool to hear the spurts of double-bass. Otherwise, yes, that was horrible.

Although I've always enjoyed it, I know many people don't like Vengeance Rising's cover of Deep Purple's "Space Truckin'"
Count me in, they butchered that one!

I'd have to say Savatage doing Bohemian Rhapsody live. Great band, great song, just not together!!! A local band from my hometown in Queensland Australia called Animals On Safari did S.O.S. by ABBA-not good!!!!!! (At least they also covered Ramones, Sex Pistols & Screaming Tribesmen!!!) I found a band on you tube called Castle Bravo doing 500 miles by The Proclaimers-very bad!!! And there's always Mnemic doing Wild Boys (Duran Duran) or Disturbed doing Land Of Confusion (Genesis) AND Shout (Tears For Fears)!!!!

Megadeth doing I ain't superstitious was pretty bad. The only song off Peace Sells I didn't like.

Disagree, That cover is amazing!
Megadeth's-These Boots Are Made For Walking is no bueno and the ultimate lame cover X 2 are Winger's Purple Haze and Hurricane's I'm Eighteen...
