Type O Negative also do an great job at covers.
Type O Negative - Summer Breeze (Seals and Crofts cover)
Type O Negative - Cinnamon Girl (Neil Young Cover)
Type O Negative - Paranoid (Black Sabbath Cover)
Thyrfing - Over the Hills and Far Away (Led zeppelin)
Moonsorrow - For Whom The Bell Tolls (Metallica cover) and I hate everything about Metallica but that cover is really good.
Finntroll - VargTimmen (Hedningarna cover)

Motorhead covering 'Enter Sandman' by Metallica. Hell, I think the 'Head version blows the original out of the water.

Lemmy's vocals aren't close to Jamez's... But the way they play is pretty much the same... Metallica thumbs up!

You know where I can hear that song?

Not all of these are covers of metal songs but they have definitely been made metal.

Anthrax - Destroyer (Twisted Sister)
Motorhead - Shoot em down (Twisted Sister)
Demons and Wizards - Immigrant song (Led Zeppelin), White Room (Eric Clapton)
Children Of Bodom - Somebody put something in my drink (Ramones), Bed of Nail (Alice Cooper), Talk Dirty to me (Poison)
Helloween - Paint it black (Rolling Stones)

Meh, Lemmys gruesome vocals fit the song a lot better I think.

Ok, man, I think it's a matter of tastes. I don't like Motorhead in general though I must say Lemmy's vocals aren't that bad, in fact they are pretty cool 'cause he can sing high notes, but at the same time he has this distinctive hoarseness in his voice, which is great, but anyway I prefer the original.
P.S. Does Lemmy smoke?

Like a chimney.

I think The Black Dahlia Murder's cover of Paint It Black was epic.
It makes for a great metal song.

Krisiun- Refuse/Resist, this guys made a killer cover, its from their latest album

Diamonds and Rust by Thunderstone, a power metal version that i highly recommend.
House of the Rising Sun by Sentenced, probably the most inebreated cover of any song ive heard in awhile.
The Ripper by Iron Maiden, i think its hilarious to hear bruce dickinsons voice sing that song. he makes it sound so cheesy...in a good way though!

and if i werent retarded i could think of more but since i am i cant.

Benighted - Suffer The Children(Napalm Death) What a brutal cover!

motorhead's version of whiplash is better than the original i think

( it's the bonus track off of the special edition of kiss of death)

oh yeah and dimmu borgir's cover of twisted sister's "burn in hell" is also really good

The new katatonia album cover is good too

This is not about cover sthis is about like
Metallica ''Tuesday Gone'' ---> Lynyrd Skynyrd'' Cover
Crystal Viper ''Blood n Gassline'' --> Virgine Steele cover

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah...ok
than i like the Dream theater "master of pupets" metallica

Twilightning > Alice Cooper's Wind-Up Toy
Graveworm -> R.e.m. losing my religion
The Reign of Terror -> Rainbow's Kill the king
Mercenary -> Pantera's Cowboys from hell
Helloween -< Focus's Hocus pocus

and that Dream theater and folks covering Cemetary gates

Those which comes to mind

Obituary with Celtic Frost cover "Circle Of The Tyrants"! Awesome song by CF and made even better by Obituary.

Bonded By Blood - Theme From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it reminds me of my youth. Cowabunga dude!!

Cradle of Filth covering Maiden's Hallowed be thy Name, that's cool

Are you sure you're not confusing them with The Agony Scene?

He's probably not, it seems every band needs to cover that song at some point, I can't even list how many...

Yes quite a few bandscover it. Canadians Anvil already covered it on their 1981 debut Hard 'n' Heavy

Anybody knows where I acn get Leatherwolf werse for song ''Bad Moon Rising'' Its CCR cover

The one cover I am really into right now is a band called Sign and their cover of Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills.

That was the worst cover done for Paint It Black. If you want a good cover of it, check out The Unseen's version.

Well...My FAV. covers are C.O.B-She's beautyfull,catamenia - I wanna be somebody(W.A.S.P.)....
And do anybody know smthng about COB's covers ''Trooper''(orig. by Iron maiden) and Final Countdown(orig. by Europe)...? They say that the band never recorded that songs(wrote on their official...)

I have never listened that song,in fact I dont listen Dimmu Borgir too much, so i haven't heard about that, but band "Nocturnal Rites" have song " Burn In Hell"... Is that the same covered song!

That's correct, Children Of Bodom NEVER recorded cover songs of Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" (actual cover by Sentenced) or Europe's "Final Countdown" (covered by Norther and Dispatched).

Skyclad's cover of Dream Deceiver is awesome, way better then the orginal.
