Comparing covers to the original (country, dance, metal, rock)

Another one I thought of is Marilyn Manson's cover of "Down in the park."

Definitely hunt that down, if you can (I would, but crappy dial-up and YouTube do not go together very well).

After "And Justice For All", the only album I can respect that was released by Metallica is "Garage Inc". The entire album was covers from their history. Of course the album was released to make money, but it also showed where most bands make their start. I'm not sure I could find a band that never played music from another band. That said, I am going to list every song on Garage Inc. with both versions. Original on the left, and Metallica on the right.

Disk 1

Discharge:Free speech for the dumb.

Diamond Head: It's Electric

Black Sabbath: Sabbra Cadabra

Bob Seger: Turn The Page

Misfits: Die, Die my darling

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: Loverman

Mercyful Fate/King Diamond: Satan's Fall / Curse Of The Pharaohs / A Corpse Without Soul / Into The Coven / Evil
Since it is a mix of a few songs, Its going to be a bit harder to do this one and I'll link it later.

Blue Oyster Cult: Astronomy

Thin Lizzy: Whiskey In The Jar

Lynyrd Skynyrd: Tuesday's Gone

Discharge: The More I See

Disk 2

Diamond Head: Helpless

Holocaust: The Small Hours

Killing Joke: The Wait

Budgie: Crash Course In Brain Surgery (Sorry, I couldn't find a decent Metallica version.)

Misfits: Last Caress / Green Hell
Misfits is individual songs. Metallica side is both songs.

Metallica side is green hell only

Diamond Head: Am I Evil

Blitzkrieg: Blitzkrieg

Budgie: Breadfan

Diamond Head: The Prince

Queen: Stone Cold Crazy

Anti-Nowhere League: So What?

Sweet Savage: Killing Time

Motörhead: Overkill

Motörhead: Damage Case

Motörhead: Stone Dead Forever

Motörhead: Too Late Too Late

I think that for the most part, Metallica did an awesome job covering these songs. Most were done justice, but, some are crap.
I don't expect anyone to watch every video, but it might be worth your time to listen to a few of them.

I hope at least one member of Music Banter (besides me) enjoys the effort I put into this. Thanks

Heavy flow this month?

Why Atreyu should be legally forbidden from performing covers.

Faith No More: Epic

That was awful. I wonder if Atreyu thought it sounded good.

Bon Jovi: You Give Love A Bad Name

It was bad enough by Bon Jovi, then Atreyu came up with the great idea of covering it.

I think Atreyu should stick to making their own shitty songs. Stop fucking up other peoples music.

sweet_nothing · 04-26-2008, 11:15 PM

Atreyu is such a horrid hot topic band.

Bohemian Rhapsody.

Queen

Montserrat Caballe and Bruce Dickinson

I really have nothing to say about this one. Its a matter of watching it yourself and making an opinion.

I've heard that Prince has covered Radiohead's Creep

I NEED TO HEAR THIS

**Piss Me Off** · 04-28-2008, 11:38 AM

Click me.
