what songs do you reckon would a band best cover,im talking as in a band would really do justice to or that it would sound hillarious for them to do it??go on should be a bit of craic.
my first choice goes

Metallica-Candle in the Wind (elton john's song?)(ok i do kno someone else sang it before)

A metal band doing Michael Jacksons "Beat it" would sound pretty funny. It's a great song to play though.

Metallica 2003 covering Metallica 1983-89

Prodigy singing Barbie Girl (If that qualifies as a song):D

we have a comedian in the house....ah if only you had nothing to laugh it....dam it wat ever happpend to metallica!!please lets not use this thread as a metallica bashing exercise

Hey, you asked the question, I answered it. What's the big deal?

I wasn't bashing Metallica, believe me. If I were bashing them I'd have used a load of swear words.

The Ramones covering That's Amore or New York, New York.

That'd be good for a laff. Nice comment about the Nu-Metallica. Their new stuff isn't totally rubbish. Just most of St. Anger. And Load. And Reload. Erm, I'll shut up now.

I'm a great fan of Metallica by the way. Have all albums and etc so I'm not Meatllica bashing either.

What's your one's name who covered Slayer's Raining Blood?
Piano version and all...Anyone remember her name? Redhead?
Was it Tori Amos?
Damn, what blasphemy!!:D

I'd love to here a power metal band,such as Stratovarius, doing a Metallica song.

your a cruel man....but very funny!!by the way i couldnt give a toss if you bashed metallica at all.

How about Rage Against The Machine doing fairy tale of new york....course they would probably change shane mcgowans lyrics and they would end up busting out and burning the drunk tank

Cianan2 · 01-10-2003 6:23pm

Any1 heard the darkness' cover of Street Spirit?

Not the biggest fan of 'em,but tis a great cover(quite funny)

Now THAT would be funny

AngelofFire · 04-10-2003 10:14pm

AFI doing a cover of iron maidens fear of the dark or Rammestein doing a cover of something stupid by frank sinatra

Ph3n0m · 07-10-2003 2:58pm

First off nothing wrong with Tori Amos' cover of Slayer - its quite a good cover

Secondly bands and their covers, oh the possibilities

Slayer - doing a Tori Amos cover - now that would be funny

or

Suicidal Tendencies doing a cover of the Darkness (just so bizarre it would have to be done)

Ancient1 · 07-10-2003 7:01pm

Slayer - doing a Tori Amos cover

HELL yeah, i agree there...:D

Arch Enemy did a great cover of Maiden's Aces High, they should do more, they've got such an awesome twin guitar attack...!

Töpher · 10-10-2003 9:22pm

Me first and the gimmie gimmies do nothing but covers, in punk form, barbie girl, i want it that way, etc etc! lotsa ****, covered into a somewhat listenable form!
