hahahaha I didnt think it was THAT bad. sure the song sucks but hearing it played by Norther made it kinda better...maybe...

The original version isn't good either, I'll give you that. So it's not like they tarnished a masterpiece. It's just like...why would you pick a bad song just to prove you can actually make it worse? SFU butchered classics, which is easy to do because you're taking a great song and trying to do your own version but make it great still...not a good formula, as the original version was great because it was done the way it was done. It had a formula.

That's why I say Norther's cover is worse than anything SFU did. They took a bad song, which should be easy to improve... Realistically that just didn't happen.

I think the entire concept of CoB these days is for laughs, no?

Just kidding people, no need to come to the defense of your favorite band.

horrible horrible journey cover, basically some toneless keyboards and metalcore vocals

Obscura's cover of 'Lack of Comprehension' by Death was pretty sweet.

Hey man! with this long list you made, now I don't have one cover song to post! LOL
Well, here's one: A.N.I.M.A.L. (from Argentina) w/Lemmy K. cover of AC/DC's Highway to Hell

This guy does a lot of covers of annoying pop \ hip hop songs and some of them are pretty cool.

Kanye West Original Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co0tTeuUVhU&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=MLGxdCwVVULXd4aUDsb_CKDIl61iOFWAlF

Michael Johnson cover version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW7UggEasCY&feature=watch_response

Read the lyrics so you can get the flow of the words, I actually think the cover version has more rhythm.

Im sure sombody posted this earlier but....GODDAMN Fleshgod Apocalypse's cover ov At The Gates "Blinded By Fear" is great see for yourselves
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQWuvjIPpxY

So far any cover made by Lemmy and Motorhead have kicked ass
for example:
The Trooper-Iron Maiden
Breaking the Law- Judas Priest
Whiplash-Metallica

Emperor - Gypsy (Mercyful Fate Cover) one of my favorites.

I haven't looked over the rest, so I'm sorry if any of these have been posted, but here's some of my favs:
Children of Bodom - oops I did it again (yes, Britney Spears, but it's still such a funny cover!)
Turisas - Rasputin (Boney-M)
Five Finger Death Punch - Bad Company (Bad Company)
Apocalyptica -any of their many Metallica covers & also Inquistion Symphony (Sepultura)
HIM - Wicked Game (Chris Isaak)

...and there's probably a couple more I'm forgetting.

Megadeth - These Boots [Lee Hazelwood cover]
Megadeth - I Ain't Superstitous [Willie Dixon cover]
Dio - Welcome to My Nightmare [Alice Cooper cover]

HIM - Wicked Game (Chris Isaak)

I really like this one, in fact it's the only song by HIM that i can stand.

And I thought of a few more too:
Before the Dawn - The bitter End (Placebo cover)
Amorphis - Light My Fire (The doors cover)
Entwine - Enjoy the silence (depeche mode cover)
Blind Guardian - You're the Voice (John Farnham cover)
Disturbed - Shout 2000 (Tears for fears cover)
Disturbed - Land of Confusion (Genesis cover)
^+ same song also done by In Flames

I don't know if I mentioned this but Vader is an awesome cover band. Check out their version of Thin Lizzy's "angel of death"


Another good metal cover is Entombed's version of "god of thunder" by Kiss

I love it thank u

I personally think Reverends Bizarre's cover of Dunkelheit is better than the original.

I really like this one, in fact it's the only song by HIM that i can stand.

The original is one of my favorite songs of all time and HIM didn't even come close to doing it any justice.

Melvins - Going Blind
Megadeth - Strange Ways
both originally off the same KISS album

Mdm band from Turkey. You should check this band! https://youtu.be/BjXbU1jwQI8

Actually one of my favourite Sodom songs:

I love Metallica's cover of Breadfan, and Megadeth's cover of Anarchy in the UK is one of my favorites, too.
