Just so happened to off listened to these a minute ago.
Stone - Friends (Led Zep cover)
Coroner - Shes so heavy (Beatles)

For any drummer who wants some fast double kick songs and other insane drumming check out trivium if you already havent. Travis has an insane double kick. Makes me want to cry.

Abba's "Gimme gimme gimme" by Malmsteen :D

Not metal, but can I recommend you check out [i]Smells Like Teen Spirit[/i] by Tori Amos? It's an acoustic version of the song, sung by a woman, and it's absolutely beautiful.[/QUOTE]

I'm going to expand on this and recommend the entire album that song is off of, Strange Little Girls. Tori does exceptional interpretations of very good songs by an extremely wide range of artists.

[QUOTE=aphotic__713]Any Unique Covers by a metal band please. I've been listening to throwdowns version of baby got back and i need more covers!!![/QUOTE]

Nightwish has some interesting covers...

They did:

Over The Hills And Far Away (Gary Moore cover)
Walking In The Air (theme from The Snowman)
Phantom Of The Opera (self-explanatory)

GenuineImitation 07-31-2005 01:45 PM

Can anyone recommend any Living Colour songs. All I have heard was Cult of Personality.

Get Phantom Of The Opera. Now. :p It's worth it.

Tori Amos has done Raining Blood but that's the other way round really. HIM did Larger Than Life which I like.

Smells Like Teen Spirit isn't on Strange Little Girls. It's on Crucify and Winter (both EPs).

In any casem the covers she did early in her career on EPs are far better than the majority of Strange Little Girls.

Crysiss 07-31-2005 03:51 PM

[QUOTE=munky_magik]For really unique covers try anything from [i]French Can Can[/i] by Carnival in coal.
They're labelled as sort of avante garde metal, and do really interesting covers.[/QUOTE]

I'll be sure to check those ones out :thumb:

munky_magik 07-31-2005 03:53 PM

[QUOTE=aphotic__713]I've Listened To bark at the moon And its **** wicked[/QUOTe]Yeah that's a good one. You should also try their versions of Pantera's F[font=]u[/font]cking Hostile and Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street.

White Goodman 07-31-2005 05:36 PM

Can someone recommend me some Industrial music similar to Nine Inch Nails, and also something similar to Alkaline Trio. I'm not big on Pop-punk but they are one of the few pop-punk bands I like.

[QUOTE=White Goodman]Can someone recommend me some Industrial music similar to Nine Inch Nails, and also something similar to Alkaline Trio. I'm not big on Pop-punk but they are one of the few pop-punk bands I like.[/QUOTE]
Industrial Metal: Ministry, KMFDM, Fear Factory to a certain extent, Skinny Puppy occasionally, Lard

White Goodman 07-31-2005 05:45 PM

[QUOTE=madeyadams]Yes.

Skinny Puppy, Ministry, KMFDM, Front Line Assembly, Fischerspooner, Absurd Minds, Project Pitchfork.

Keep in mind, those are some heaver Industrial bands.. NIN is a little lighter compared to those bands. I have some albums by all of those artists if you're interested.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, i'm interested in hearing more from the Industrial genre. Thanks for the recommendations guys.

Uh, pop-punk...Anti-Flag, perhaps?

Industrial - Rammstein. German singing though...

hallowed_ironmaiden 07-31-2005 07:27 PM

so, the New Order is a good starting point for testament?

MAthiAS 07-31-2005 08:18 PM

[quote]I'm not big on Pop-punk but they are one of the few pop-punk bands I like.[/quote]
NOFX, Rancid, and The Transplants are pretty good pop-punk if you haven't checked them out yet.
[quote]so, the New Order is a good starting point for testament?[/quote]
I'd go with The Legacy if you like thrash more... and if you don't, I prefer Practice What You Preach for thrash-y heavy metal over The New Order. IMO TNO really only has 2 or 3 good songs on it.

VeedBok 07-31-2005 09:56 PM

^^^ yeah i like The Legacy the best to, its a great CD :thumb:

MAthiAS 08-01-2005 08:31 PM

Someone recommend me some good Racer X songs besides Scarified and Technical Difficulties.

Apocalyptic Raids 08-01-2005 08:40 PM

I was wondering if anyone knew of any other bands in the garage rock/ psychedelic vein, I'm really digging on Orange Sunshine, The Atomic Bitchwax, and Super****666, some pretty cool tunes there. So if you had any other suggestions that'd be cool. I found all the bands at stonerrock.com

Try Orgy, Stabbing Westward (both industrial)?

Mr. Black 08-02-2005 08:16 AM

which Dream Theatre album should I get, I'm new to them an all, but i've listening to loads of new bands and Enjoyed them, ANd I do want to try some Dream Theatre so...
Which Ablum should I get?

I would say [i]Scenes From A Memory[/i] as it gives the best overall impression of Dream Theater.

dUSK 08-02-2005 08:19 AM

Firstly, it's Dream Theater. :P

I recommend you start with Awake. It's an awesome all around album. My favourite however, is Train Of Thought. It feels heavier to me, and I like it. However, many DT fans say Images & Words is their best work, although I personally don't agree. Either of those three would be a good start.

[i]Train of Thought[/i] is too centred on heavy, shread based songs to be a good starter album for Dream Theater, I feel.
[i]Awake[/i] is no where near as easy to get into as []Scenes...[/i].

Also, you should check out their monumental song A Change of Seasons which will give you a very good idea of what Dream Theater are all about.
