"No Remorse" (Metallica), performed by Cannibal Corpse. I don't really like Metallica, but this cover just kick asses. Well, I felt some disapointment, too... but then my respect to Metallica grew a bit.

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

If I knew I could kick your ass, I'd probably do it of anger... how can you say so you brutal savage!!!

I didnt get it. Did you knew it was from Celtic Frost ? Or you are angry cuz I told you it was ?

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.

To tell the truth I mostly prefer Obituary's cover of the circle of the tyrants.. This was my very first touch with this song.. Although I dont like Opeth's cover that much. So: 1.Obituary , 2.Celtic Frost, 3.Opeth

Iron Maiden - Doctor,doctor (UFO)
Also, I think Nevermore's Sound Of Silence is a killed song. It has nothing to do with the Simon and Garfunkel song..

and just today Arch Enemy doing that song from MegaDeath - Symphony of Destruction it sounded so bad

Iron Maiden - Doctor,doctor (UFO)

This one's a cover?
I didn't know this! Nevertheless a very good song

Well this may be slightly off topic but there was no point in creating a totally new thread for my one question.

Theres this live cover of the Maiden song 'The Trooper' thats been floating around the internet, and its labeled as Bodom, but Ive been told its not actually Bodom, just a band that sounds similar, if anyone knows what im talking about, could someone tell me what band it is if its not in fact Bodom?

i learned that don't talk to strangers was originally performed by dio. i thought it was blind guardian's song!


@ dr. rock:it isn't covered by bodom indeed , it is covered by sentenced (says wikipedia)

Did you also know that Nightmares by the sea, in the tonight's music alboum by Katatonia is originally from Jeff Buckley?

i just found out yesterday children of bodom also had a cover of poison's 'talk dirty to me'

it's a bonus on the 'are you dead yet' album, and i didn't know it, haha. it's kinda cool, although i guess they'll never top 'oops i did it again'

Ah, the song 'Carry on Dancing' by Savage Garden originally, i thought it was Entwine's... But i like coversong better than original

Sodom's Hazy shade of Winter.... It was obvious cover, because it does not sound like a Sodom song, but I was surprised when I understoo it was Simon and Garfunkel cover.

And one more cover - Dark Funeral's Satanic Blood original version is made by VON.

Sentenced covered The Trooper on their EP 'The Trooper', but it wasn't live.

Thats a pretty old post of mine, I already found it a while ago, thanks anyways!

Cradle Of Filth - No Time To Cry.The original's from The Sisters Of Mercy
Dope - You Spin Me Round. The original's from Dead Or Alive

Does someone know if The Fire Still Burns by Cradle of Filth is a cover? I'm wondering since it's written by a Daniel Snider and not the band.

Daniel Snider = D. Snider = Dee Snider, so guess which band orignally recorded The Fire Still Burns.
Yep, that's right, Twisted Sister

Thanks, that was what I suspected.
Well, so it's a cover then, probably one of the best covers I've ever heard in that case!

When I first listened to "These Low Lands" by Swallow the Sun I didn't know it was "Alavilla mailla" by Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus, but with English lyrics and slower tempo. Although it sounded very familiar since I had heard "Alavilla mailla" many times earlier.

Also Viikate's "Rauta-airot" is a Finnish version of Motörhead's "Iron Horse / Born to Lose" which I didn't know at first since the cover was so well disguised in Viikate's style. They also have some other covers I think, but I haven't checked what they are.

Better By You Better Than Me-Judas Priest (not sure of the origonal artist)

Spooky Tooth. It was the one which had the 'subliminal' message that 'led' two kids to commit suicide (even though the 'message' was nothing but 'do it').

Anyway, I just found out that Anthrax's 'Got The Time' is a slightly altered cover of the Joe Jackson song of the same name. I thought it was theirs, which just goes to show how good a cover it is.

A Fine Day To Die (Bathory Cover) Emperor
Fade To Black (Metallica cover) Sonata Artica
Die With Your Boots On (Maiden) Sonata Artica

Omfg!!!!!!!!!!!! Both Emperor's Fine Day to Die and Sonata's Die with Your Boots were two of mine as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO weird.

If fact, when I was first getting into black metal and got Nightside Eclipse i didn't know about the Bathory cover or the Mercyful Fate cover. Then I got Blood Fire Death, and thought i've heard this before.....

.....then, as I got more into FWOBM, I heard Mercyful Fate's version of Gypsy, and almost shit my pants!!!

Nightwish have also covered High Hopes originaly by Pink Floyd, Where Were You Last Night by Ankie Bagger and Crimson Tide / Deep Blue Sea by Hans Zimmer...only by the way, beacuse i have found only Over The Hills And Far Away in this topic :-)

i'd say all these covers sounds better to me than originals

I've never heard Nightwish's over of High Hopes, but I have no doubts that it pales in comparison to the original.

The cover that I did not know was not a cover at first - Strapping Young Lad's version of Cop Shoot Cop's "Room 429" off "City."

It's total shit indeed. I dunno whether studio record is available or only live one (that's what i'm talking about). It's almost impossible to say what song i'm listening to without listening for a while...So cheap cover.
And it's obvious that Gilmour can sing better drunk than that one miserable singer.

dude... i have no problem with the english errors... but is sonata ar"C"tica

Hellion - Children of bodom is originaly a song of W.A.S.P ??

At first I didnt know that Over the Hills and Far Away (Nightwish) was a Gary More cover

High Hopes are only on End of an Era DVD (seventh track), i suppose...

and i don't think Marco's version is shit...vice versa - i have listened to Pink Floyd's original and i was totaly disappointed of the lack of the athmosphere and power i have felt in Nightwish's cover...maybe it was caused by the athmosphere of Helsinki very special concert...

I just found out that tracks 2, 3 and 4 on Anorexia Nervosa's "The September EP" were covers. I'm a big fan of the X-Japan cover of "I'll Kill You" so it's kind of weird to find out that it's not an AN original.
