Know any good ones?

Here's Abba's Gimmie your love after midnight by Yngwie Wanksteam. It's pretty good, and the chorus melody works well with the arpeggios. Check it out:

That is way too cheesy to be allowed to exist. :pac:

Nonsense.

Going back to an early one. I believe this was Motorhead's first success in terms of the charts.

How about Nevermore covering the sound of silence? There are a lot of punk covers. Few good ones come to mind. The pistols released the great rock and roll swindle which has a load of covers but few worth listening to.
I'm also aching to post Tool's cover of No Quarter but it's not really a pop song cover is it?

Bending it a bit, hardly rock or metal, but cover maestros Laibach are too good to leave out of this thread, especially for the industrials among us:

and some rock/ metal by Black Bomb A:

That's right! I saw them on the Manson tour with disturbed and godhead and got one confused with the other! Nice spot.

ChocolateSauce · 04-09-2009 4:12pm

I've always liked Cradle's version of Temptation by Heaven 17.
