Worst cover song by a metal band?

Hallows Eve covering Sheer Heart Attack (Queen) is totally gay.

I agree. Just filler. The worst song on that album. Or is it Rot Gut? Hmmmm.....

I don't like OCT 31's version of Wrecking Crew. Totally sloppy!

definately blitzkrieg by metallica(hehehe)....and sure all the covers of that white rabbit track....

I like Metallica's version of "Blitzkrieg" better than the original, which I also have.

Anyone heard Slayer's Born To Be Wild? Thats pretty awful.

Respectfully disagree.

Me too, bro.

Styper's Shining star ain't my cup o' tea.

I've heard RAVEN's version and it rules! As well, Riot pull off a great version of that song.

SLAYER's cover of "In A Gadda Da Vida" is fun.

While I wouldn't necessarily put these in the "worst ever" category, I never liked Anthrax's version of I'm Eighteen and God Save the Queen. They have done allot of great covers over the years, but those 2 stick out like sore thumbs in their otherwise quality catalog of remakes. And singing about a British monarch when you're from New York just seems silly, but I guess that was part of the joke.

Ult, you might be able to help with this one, there was a christian metal band back in the early 90's with a female singer that did a cover of Wayward Son. Our guitarist thought it was the coolest thing he had ever heard, I personally thought it stunk, he played it in the car for months & drove me nuts. Does anyone remember the name of the band???

I'm not ult, but I think it was Critical Mass.

Oh you said early 90's. I didnt see that. My bad.

Anything by Stryper is pretty bad.

I'm gonna say it's Overkill's "cover" of Heaven & Hell/The Ripper at the end of their album: W.F.O. That's just the one of the worst things I've ever heard.

Yea, they sound like they're drunk as skunks during that little "jam session." Funny to listen to once, but not worth hearing ever again.

Ohhh Smurf! I don't believe that!!

"Behind Blue Eyes" by Limp Bizkit. Worst cover ever. How dare those no-talent corporate idiots butcher such a good song.... Korn's cover of "Another Brick In The Wall" comes close.

Fully expecting to get rotten tomatoes thrown at me, I'm going to say, I like Anthrax "Bring the Noise".

So do I. One of the very few decent rap songs.
