metallicas cover of "die die my darling" was pretty bad. i didnt like that one at all.

And their cover of "Sabbra Cadabbra/National Acrobat" was pretty dire also

any cover marilyn manson has ever done has raped the song. and rise against covering "anyway you want it" or whatever at the end of revolutions per minute, what the fizzle? slayer also ruined some good minor threat songs.

Van Halen did some alright covers. They didn't butcher the songs but they added their Phase90 touch.

i personally think tori amos ruins songs...
when i heard her verison of thank you by led zeppelin
i wanted to track her down and beat her up she killed that song.. its like she really did try her hardest to ruin that song.. and she did she ****ing murdered it and got away with it too.. ****ing moron!

but i think Avil whatever she is.. her verison of knocking on heavens door ruled.. i don't listen to her music.. i don't even know her full name haha.. anyways.. but i thought GNR's was amazing but man she did a very unexpected good job with that song.. and bob dylan i thought his verison being the first was ****.. i hated it..

i like The Ataris verison of i'll remember you.. done by skid row.. i think skid rows is amazing.. but Ataris there verison is so different not really sure if it killed the first but its at least just as good.. but in different ways for sure..

The only crap cover he has ever done that I've heard is Another Brick In The Wall. He failed me with that. I think he took the completely wrong approach to the way he sung it. Far too soft, his scream is a weapon, he should have used it.

I agree with whoever said that at least Mansons covers aren't your same generic identical copy of the original.

I agree, I love his covers of Tainted Love and Sweet Dreams, they're eerie and sexy.

I like Tori, she has a great voice. Her songs have that powerful feeling, as if it's risky to listen to her.

Cover artists they try to make the song their own, which can leave you disappointed, as you were, for Amos and Zeppelin may as well be from two different worlds. And when you love the original, it can almost be a sin for someone else to come along and attempt a change.

I`ve got the Prodigy covering Ghost Town by The Specials somewhere & it`s bloody awful.

Of course it didn`t help that instead of getting someone to sing it they just replaced the vocals with a low farting noise instead.

I think tori did a great job with "Real Men" "Smells like teen spirit" and "Raining Blood"
