    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

    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

    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)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,592 ✭✭✭Ancient1


    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...!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,483 ✭✭✭Töpher


    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!

    Slayer covering Ina gadda da vida by a 60's band Iron Butterfly is a bit odd for a thrash/ speed metal band.
