Making a Black Sabbath cover song collection

Priest is a good suggestion. How about Led Zeppelin? Or The Rolling Stones? I know I've heard more than a few covers of 'Paint It Black' or 'Brown Sugar'.

Zeppelin is a possibility but I think it would be hard to find covers of some of the later stuff. You could probablly a nice cover collection of the prime 60's era going.

I'm looking into Deliverance's After Forever and Kyuss's Into The Void, practically completing Master of Reality. I doubt those two instrumentals have been covered...

For now im going with the Biohazard cover of After Forever until I can find a better one (cant track down the Deliverance one on the net)

Black Sabbath is my all time favorite band and has been for over 20 years now. To me and in my personal opinion (which is just mine) there hasn't been one band that can cover Black Sabbath and do it well. I have heard ALL of these songs and to me they are all not very good! But this is just me and my opinion!

True that nothing beats the originals, but I enjoy covers of bands I like by other bands I like.

I've decided to replace the Faith No More cover with the MSG cover featuring Ripper Owens on vocals!

This is a pretty cool idea. I can't think of any other Sabbath covers that Ult didn't list.

While watching the VH1 7 Ages of Rock series, I realized another band who's debut album has spawned quite a few covers...The Sex Pistols

Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols:
1. Holidays in the Sun - Skid Row
2. Bodies - Velvet Revolver
3. No Feelings - Overkill
4. Liar
5. God Save The Queen - Motorhead/Anthrax
6. Problems - Megadeth
7. Seventeen
8. Anarchy in the UK - Megadeth/Motley Crue
9. Submission
10. Pretty Vacant - Joan Jett
11. New York
12. EMI

These are just the ones I came up with off the top of my head, the ones that I know & heard. I'm sure there are other bands and other songs that have been covered. Feel free to add to 'em.

When was this? I'd like to check it out.

Sorry about the DP, I clicked "quote" instead of "edit" on the above post.

Hey Chairman, you have no idea the can of worms you've opened! I've been compiling Sabbath covers for an "ultimate" tribute for awhile now and I have found literally hundreds of them! I currently have about 5 gigs worth of covers, so I'll see if I can fill in some of the blanks for you up above.

Oh and my project, TROGLODYTE DAWN, also has a cover of "After Forever" on the debut cd (although it's in parody form and titled "Forever After") if you want to hear it.

Grave Gigger did a cover of Children of the Grave

Iron Savior also did a cover of Neon Knights

Hey man, I just added a bunch of suggestions to your first post (in orange).

I have a master list that I am working from that shows every Sab tribute album and cover song that I currently know about, but I can't post it here because it's too large.

I can email it to you if you want.

Lemme know...

I'd like to have the ones in my blank spots!

Alot of those I knew about, but I ended up picking a version I liked a litte better or I coulden't find them... if you can get me those songs i'd appreciate it.

Its a live version they did at Sabbath's induction into the Hall of Fame, gimme your email address and i'll send you that plus Hole In The Sky.

Hey Chairman, did you get the emails I sent?

Yeah, sorry it took so long, been working too much!

I really enjoy the song, very interesting take on that song. I'll have to check out the other covers, but for now it replaces the version that Biohazard did because its musically much better! I may end up replacing it with a version that diden't change the lyrics, but it will end up in my doubles collection I have going.

I plan on burning albums I have completed.

Those are the ones I want the most, need.

I have that Venom disc (Prime Evil) at home, if I can remember I'll upload that song for you. I also have that Kyuss track (Into The Void)on MP3.

Dunno if anybody's mentioned these yet (maybe I did earlier?) but Overkill covered three Sabbath songs on their COVERKILL album -- "Changes," "Never Say Die" and "Cornucopia."

EDIT: Never mind... I just re-read the original post in this thread and I see all three of those have been listed already.

I'll just leave now.
