10.09.09 | I know there are a lot more of course, but these were my favorites when i think about covers... usually, covers suck, but these are the best, in my opinion... especially cash doing hurt and primus with have a cigar

10.09.09 | holy diver? |
intothepit83
10.09.09 | holy diver by who??? |
intothepit83
10.09.09 | cuz the only versions i kno are dio's original, and the one dio did with pat boone |
fromtheinside
10.09.09 | hooooooooly diver - killswitch engage, mayne
mostly the video though. |
combustion07
10.09.09 | Primus's The Thing That Should Not Be is pretty awesome too |
intothepit83
10.09.09 | i'm sorry, i personally cannot stand their version of it... in my opinion, they kinda killed it, and not in a good way.... i disagree, respectfully of course |
hykudos
10.09.09 | number 8 is the worst cover in cover history.
He is Legend - Wounded |
combustion07
10.09.09 | Yeah no problems man, Primus is my favorite band so I'm pretty bias |
intothepit83
10.09.09 | who the hell is he is legend???? that band off of tooth and nail? i'm sorry dude, i disagree wholeheartedly..... simple man is one of those songs that i thought shouldn't be touched.... ever, but after hearing shinedown do it, i had a change of heart.... his voice is absolutely unbelievable and i almost thought that they did it just as good as lynyrd skynyrd |
intothepit83
10.09.09 | nah, sorry combustion, wasnt talking to u, i was talking to fromtheinside... no, primus' cover of the thing that should not be was killer too, just didnt make the list |
CaptainMorgan13
10.09.09 | Opeth- Remember Tomorrow |
theacademy
10.09.09 | the absence of holy diver makes this list a complete failure. Also, except 1, 7, and 10 the rest of the list sucks too. |
intothepit83
10.09.09 | that holy diver cover was heinous.... it was almost disrespectful.... i understand that dio had to sign off on it, but god, i couldnt stand it.... the lead singer of killswitch needs to just stop singing.... that wanna be deep voice.... it's terrible, and it sounds even worse on the cover... sorry guys, put it on ur own lists |
fromtheinside
10.09.09 | you know it was a spoof right? |
combustion07
10.09.09 | I think it's funny how every scene kid in the US thinks that KSE wrote Holy Diver, I told this kid that it was a remake a couple days ago and he argued with me for like an hour and I showed him Dio's version and he still refused to accept it. |
intothepit83
10.09.09 | i doubt the cover was a spoof, but i know the video was.... if it was a spoof, that turns me off even more from it.... u dont spoof a classic |

10.10.09 | What about Hallelujah by Jeff Buckey? |
philly96
10.10.09 | Easy by Faith No More and any of the Red Paintings covers, especially Mad World. Ummm, I'm sure there is more, many more. Just can't think of any. |
KILL
10.10.09 | holy diver cover sucks ass..my favourite cover is probably no quarter by tool or painkiller by death! |
Alligator
10.10.09 | eww painkiller by death? sorry dude I personally can't stand it. |
FadeToBlack
10.10.09 | lol |
Benzum
10.10.09 | All Along the Watchtower!!!! |
KILL
10.10.09 | alligator i take offence to such blasphemy! |
intothepit83
10.10.09 | u will never see limp bizkit on any of my lists, unless it's a worst of.... their cover of "behind blue eyes" was ridiculous and unncecessary... i cant believe daltry and gang signed off on it.... lb slayed that song, and not in a good way |
LiquidVelvet
10.10.09 | number 8 reminded me
when i saw bon iver, they covered Simple Man
it was perfect |
Inveigh
10.10.09 | This list is missing a couple of my favorites. First of all, if you're putting a Simple Man cover on here, it needs to be Deftones' version. Also, Metallica has much better covers than those two (although those two ARE awesome), I'd go with:
Metallica - Sabra Cadabra, Breadfan, Last Caress
Deftones - Simple Man, No Ordinary Love
Opeth - Would?
Jeff Beck - Hallelujah
And then there's fun ones like August Burns Red doing Baby One More Time, Throwdown doing Baby Got Back and Thrice with Send Me an Angel. |
CrazyGreg
10.10.09 | I liked the Death cover of Painkiller... |
Inveigh
10.10.09 | oh shit, forgot about Painkiller |
intothepit83
10.10.09 | the cover of painkiller from death is one of my favorites, i'm gonna fix the list now,d idnt even think about it... but i didnt like deftones version of simple man... dont get me wrong, i luv the deftones and chino's voice, but for that song, it didnt work for me.... and those two covers i put on there from metallica are just my favorites, although last caress was exceellent too |
BigTuna
10.10.09 | Ellipsis much? |
WhereIsMyMind
10.11.09 | Manson's Tainted Love and Sweet Dreams covers are great.
But my favorite cover ever would have to be My Sharona- The Number Twelve Looks Like You. |
Emim
10.12.09 | Yeah, the Deftones version is MUCH better. Holy Diver rules, you cannot deny it. Also, Throwdown's "Baby Got Back" is a guilty pleasure. |
