Favourite Metal Cover?
 
What's your favourite cover by a metal band?

One of my personal faves is In This Moment covering Blondie's Call Me!

What's yours?

I think mine would have to be Skindred covering Jingle Bells

Some interesting stuff there, Type O Negative were particuarly great at covering stuff and you should've added on their cover of "Black Sabbath" an epic performance.

I liked avenged sevenfold's "Walk" by Pantera.

Although that is probably just because I love everything they put out.

Stainless steel. It doesn't rust and is hard wearing.

Anthrax covering Joe Jackson's "Got the Time". This is (a) better than the original and (b) probably my favorite Anthrax track.

Didn't even know that that song was a cover, I loved it for so long, I'll have to see how the original holds up to it.

The original version of Mexican Radio is pretty good (for a radio tune :p:), and Celtic Frost did a pretty great version of it on Into the Pandemonium that I'm quite a fan of.
