Six Feet Under the two albums Graveyard classics 1 and 2 both have very cool covers like TNT and Smoke on the water and purple haze

Judas Priest - (Take These) Chains
Judas Priest - Some Heads Are Gonna Roll

Those songs are actually not covers. Bob Halligan Jr. specifically wrote those songs for Judas Priest. The original versions of both those songs are by Priest. They are not covers.

Graveyard Classics is worth nothing at all except a few laughs. The three albums masterfully butcher timeless classics.

I don't give a fuck about your opinion.

That's because his is true. ;P

Six feet under is corpsgrinders band ( cannibal corpses ex vocalist - butchered at birth etc. )

God Dethroned - Evil Dead ( Death )
Dissection - Elizabeth Bathory (tormenter) and The Antichrist (slayer) both are amazing covers....
Dismember - Beyond the Unholy Grave ( death )
Behemoth - Day of Sufferring ( Morbid Angel )
Watain - The Somberlain ( Dissection, but the cover is on youtube )
Decapitated - Lunatic of Gods Creation ( deicide )

Dude the vocalist of six feet under is Chris barnes. He is the ex vocalist of cannibal corpse. George "corpse grinder" fisher is the present vocalist of cannibal corpse

Ah, my bad.

The last really good cover that i have listened is:

Angelus Apatrida - Be Quick Or Be Dead (by Iron Maiden)

Spectacular

Unfortunately it's just a live cover.

Van Canto - Fear of the Dark
originally by Iron Maiden

Really good, yeah .

Just heard Monstrosity with Angel Of Death. Very nice effort!

Wow only 2 people wrote Dark Tranquillity. Their 22 Acacia Avenue and My Friend of Misery is really great. Doro - Breaking The Law is also great. Ancient Wisdom - Powerslave is another good cover.

Cryptic Wintermoon - Nightcrawler

But I must say I have virtually zero interest for covers. When I rip my CDs and download them on my MP3 player, I always delete covers and live songs and keep only the studio album.

I just found out that Nadja did a cover of The Sun Always Shines on TV

Suidakra - Marooned from Running Wild

Its cvery original, isnt the same as the original just Suidakra style, kick ass

Evile - Cemetary Gates (Not as great as the original, but if you actually think that it was a bad cover, something might be wrong with you)
Machine Head - Fucking Hostile (Drumming is spot on, and Robb is the only other Groove Metal vocalist that I'll compare Phil Anselmo to. The aggression in his voice, speaks for himself.)

Insidious Disease took a risk covering the classic Death song Leprosy but they pulled it off.
Marc Grewe does an excellent job here. Overal a good cover.

Rodrigo y Gabriela - Orion (by Metallica)

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely awesome.

Death - Painkiller (Judas Priest Cover)

Northerner - The Final Countdown

CoB - Oops I did it again

Iron Savior - Crazy (Seal)
Theatres Des Vampires - Rain (Rain)
Mago de Oz - Moonlight Shadow
Symphonity - Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime (Kim Wilde & Nena)

Norther - Youth gone Wild (Skid Row)

Norther - Youth gone Wild (Skid Row)

Worst cover I've ever heard. Even worse than SFU's Graveyard Classics trilogy combined, listening from beginning to end.

Okay maybe not that bad, but YGW should not have been remade by the likes of Norther. Even when I really liked them I always hated that song.
