Well, it took me a long time to find out that 'Oops, I did it again' from Children Of Bodom was actually a Britney Spears songs.. :

and which one do you prefer? The cover or the original one??

Both made me laugh a LOT when I first heard them, so it is hard for me.. Both are pretty funny.

Bleh, and it was the same with Sound Of Silence, by Atrocity again, its a german song by Simon and Garfunkel, some 80's pop stuff i think. But i was less disappointed this time.

SoS is a classic! even Nevermore on Dreaming Neon Black did it! and they did it very well i must say!

No, they did it on Dead Heart in a Dead World.. Nevertheless it's great.. by the way, their cover of the Priest classic Love Bites is veeeery different.. They have some weird covers..

yeah you are right sry for that...
their covers are like the lyrics of the song and a whole new different music

Kind of! But some reminiscent ideas of the original are still there:) Anyway, well said, my friend!!

skyclad-come on eileen. apparently it's a song by some obscure 80s band and it was their only hit.

Just this morning I heard Entombed covering Motörhead song One Track Mind pretty good

Strange you think that Dexy's Midnight Runners is an obscure 80s band, because they were huge back in the day. And had more hits than Come On Eileen , although that one was their biggest.

And they were on the Young Ones

Oh yeah that too, I forgot about that. Thanks to your post I will watch The Young Ones again tonight when I get home from work.

Bruce Dickinson - Sin City => AC/DC did it
Doro Pesch - Egypt => DIO did it
Iron Maiden - My Generation => The Who did it
Jag Panzer - Children of The Sea => DIO did it
Metallica - Whiskey in The Jar => Thin Lizzy => Irish Traditional Drinking Song
Metallica - Astronomy => Blue Öyster Cult did it

I recently they found out alot of covers:
Dying Fetus - Bringing Back The Glory (its written by some punk band i cant remeber)
Rompeprop - Boneyard (Impetigo cover)
Avulsed - Immortal Rites (Morbid Angel)
Vader - Flag Of Hate (Kreator cover)
Lord Gore - Wizards Of Gore (Impetigo cover)
Behemoth - Freezing Moon (Mayhem Cover)
Nokturnal Mortum - My Journey To The Stars (Burzum cover)

I know all these now, but i have listened to all these songs many times loving them, but i never knew they were covers i thought they were written by the band that played them.

These two are covers by Metallica, and their Unforgiven II is STOLEN from Iron Maiden's 'Children of the damned'. These were among the few Metallica songs I liked, and it wasn't their own. How pathetic of Metallica!

Amon Amarth's 'the eyes of Horror' is Possessed's cover. I didn't know this when I first listened to Amon Amarth version.

I didn't know till recently that ''Children of The Damned'' by Therion is an Iron Maiden cover. It explains why I never really loved this song

'Herr Mannelig' by Haggard. I was very surprised when i knew that it was a traditional song

I was really suprised of this as well, but I was even more suprised when i found out that it actually originated from my country!

That song is from Sweden ?!! I always thought it is a German song

Apperntly is an medival ballad. To hear it in the original old swedish, I suggest you listen to In extremo's version of the song. If you want to know more about the song, check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herr_mannelig

I like this song very much, I like Possessed as well. This song isn't melodic, and it may not be liked by somebody who expects something melodic from Amon Amarth.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I prefer Amon Amarth in their more extreme songs than the melodic ones. I just don't like the quality of that cover, think it's kinda shitty done.

I like the original one. Amon Amarth's vocals doesn't suit the cover; the original vocals are much better (I don't mean to say I don't like Amon Amarth's vocals though). Oh, I didn't mean to get you wrong!

Mr. Crowley - Moonspell

that song actually fits a lot into Moonspells music!

I didn't know that "Over The Hills And Far Away" by Sonata Arctica and also by Nightwish was a Gary Moore cover

also, I didn't know that many songs in the metallica album garagae inc were cover songs, and also 'painkiller' by death is orig. by Judas priest. I didn't know this either. I'll conclude now.

Written by Guest on 04.03.2007 at 04:37

As far as I know Sonata Arctica has never done a cover of Over The Hills And Far Away...? I have never heard anything about it nor seen anything anywhere either to suggest they have.

Yeah, you're totally right, sorry, in fact I've found out that it's not Sonata Arctica's cover but Thyrfing's -_-U

"Sorgens Kammer" by Dimmu Borgir. Just a few years ago I heard that the same melody first appeared in some video game in the early 90s. And for some reason the booklet doesn't reveal this at all, wonder why...

I always loved the song, so it would be interesting to hear the original version too.

Opeth - Circle of Tyrants.
When I've discovered that it was from Celtic Frost I was a bit disapointed.. I still prefer Opeth's version

I love the original version by CF and think it's a lot better than the Opeth one, therefore I'd trie to kick your ass for liking the cover more than the true classic.

Ahh I guess that is what is normal.. the song's owner have the best version, but I dont see it that way.

Anyway it is a great song played by anyone.

Yeah, the Opeth cover is awesome though...
