[shotsup 830]

Iron Maiden - I Got the Fire

 

Van Halen - You Really Got Me

 

Metallica - Turn the Page

 

Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust

 

Iron Maiden - Cross Eyed Mary

[patweisers44 697]

This will take some thought, however, if a Judas Priest cover makes it to the list, I am going with Green Manalishi.

 

I know this is probably blasphemy, but i focking hate Jethro Tull, so as much as i like Maiden, that tune's gotta go.

[patweisers44 697]

Breadfan - Metallica

Green Manalishi - Judas Priest

Dissident Aggressor - Slayer

Mississippi Queen - W.A.S.P.

Last Caress - Metallica

Metallica did a good job with Turn the Page, but I wouldn't put it in my top 5 metallica covers. Am I Evil is such a metallica staple many people assume they wrote it. for a cover they did from a more popular band, I always liked their version of Queens stone cold crazy.

 

Classic cover...aerosmith nails come together

[hoytdwow 202]

You could easily just make a list of 5 Metallica covers. They are the masters.

 

Metallica - Crash Course in Brain Surgery

Helmet - Custard Pie

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground

Tool - No Quarter

Foo Fighters - Have a Cigar

 

I can see this thread getting RP retarded in a hurry, so let's be clear that it doesn't mean you think the covers are better than the originals.

[mmmmm...beer 691]

Kind of a reversal but Cash doing NIN's "Hurt". IMO probably one of the better covers everister.

 

He also did Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage" but i dinna ken to it sa much.

The Small Hours and was a fan of Merciful Fates first 2 albums...like the medley Metallica does of a bunch of their songs.

[shotsup 830]

Yeah I was under the influence when I wrote - big shock right ?

 

No way I'd put 2 Iron Maiden songs in top 5

 

Take out Cross Eyed Mary and replace with Areosmith Train kept a rollin (Yardbirds)

 

Replace Turn the page with (too many Metallica choices) .... Astronomy is a good replacement.

 

Take out VH and replace with Foo Fighters Darling Nikki/Baker Street/Rock n Roll

 

HONORABLE mention B.O.C. cover Roadhouse Blues.......

Blue Orgy - Blue Monday by New Order

My Chemical Romance + The Used - Under Pressure by Queen

The Ataris - Boys of Summer by Don Henley

The Killers - Shadowplay by Joy Division

Disturbed - Land of Confusion by Genesis

White Zombie - I'm Your Boogieman by KC and the Sunshine Band

 

Disturbed - Shout was much better

 

White Zombie - awesome ( might just be Rob Zombie, not sure)

 

We could just put in Garage Days and leave it at that.

[SUXBNME 1,322]

My addition to this list, even though it is not technically a "full" cover:

 

Bring Tha Noise - Public Enemy & Anthrax

[Herbivore 904]

That was a quality cover - I'm a huge DIO (RIP) fan....

[kutulu 1,542]

The Ghost of Tom Joad - Rage Against The Machine (Springsteen)

 

It's good but a little too slow for me. How I Could Just Kill A Man (Cypress Hill) is pretty good...they got a live video of that. They also do a killer remake of Fock The Police (NWA)
