I hate to say it, but I think Korn's cover of "The Wall" is pretty good...
Worst cover that's too popular: 311's cover of The Cure's "Love Song," I think I just didn't feel 311 or the Cure in it, it felt so alien...
Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam was a cover of The Vasolines. also, 311 is a terrible band, and that is a terrible cover.Quote:

Love the maiden covers.
Dude I hated AE's cover of Aces High... it was real bad IMO. :/ Harsh vocals and Iron Maiden don't mix... I sort of liked AE's cover of Manowar's "Kill With Power", but the original is so much better. Speaking of Manowar, I have a tribute CD with covers from several different bands, most of which are really good but suffer from thick accents in the vocal department. :wacko:Quote:

It's probably for this reason that I love Children of Bodom's Aces High cover. Especially the guitar/keyboard solos, which are fucking awesome just like they are in almost every other CoB song. :D
Kmfdm - Terrible Lie (Nine Inch Nails)
Jack off Jill - Lovesong (The Cure)
Katscan - We Are 138 and Hollywood Babylon (Misfits)
Cruxshadows - Here comes the rain again (Eurythmics)
Phoenix/NEBULIN - Don't You Forget About Me (Simple Minds)
I quite liked it, sure it wasn't anywhere as good as the original but just be thankfull it was their old vocalist and not the new one.Quote:

Machine Men - Aces High
No comment :P
Good god, I can't believe I failed to mention that my 2nd favorite Rage Against the Machine album is actually a bunch of covers. +Rep, laddie.Quote:
