Scared or just plain curious?

Doctor J

Scared in a terribly curious way. I have the feeling I'll get it and then spend the next few moths putting it on intermittantly to verify it sucks as much as I thought it did.

Damn, why did they pick such typically Kerrang bands, apart from Mastodon? They could have gotten bands whose career won't be over when emo fades away and put out something really interesting, instead they've just picked the bands of the moment, destined to be forgotten

I mean... Fightstar... for ****s sake.

And as for the artwork.... wow... jaysus... :eek:



Have you heard Dream Theater's cover of Master Of Puppets (the entire album)?

Karl Hungus

Apart from Mastodon, that sounds absolutely horrible.

Ph3n0m

Dream Theater - now that is a glorious cover

I like the artwork - shows which bands will be killed off soon

As for Fightstar - dont you mean that new band with a former member of Busted in its ranks - FFS!!!!!!!!

This album could have been great, but noooooooo Kerrang had to get their claws into it....sad, really sad

However on a side note, I heard Nightwish's cover of "Over the Hill..." - quite horrifying

Karl Hungus

Speaking of covers, Sonata Arctica's version of Fade To Black was quite excellent.

I agree, apart from Chimaira and maybe machine head.I mean Funeral for a friend and Bullet for my Valentine?Back then Metallica were about Anger and Passion, not whining 'cos my suburban white picket fence is so unfullfilling and screaming like a little whinging pussy.

I actually had a dream last night that Trivium died in a plain crash, i've never even heard any of their songs

Back to the topic at hand >>> fúcktards!

Wouldn't Metallica have to give permission for this to happen?

El_mariachi

"Wouldn't Metallica have to give permission for this to happen?" yup and for somereason they did, all i say is those bands **** this up they're little emo heads would no what hit them

wow that scary, i never thought lars would give anyone the chance to record his songs, after the napster ****, but its ok its being given a way for free at least,

"The CD will be given away free with Kerrang! issue 1102, which goes on sale April 5."

Ph3n0m

that said, I have heard Machine Head do Metallica covers before (live) and they were quite good as covers go

Anyone catch Metallica: ICON on Mtv a year or two ago, there were some good covers on that, Limp Bizkit & Korn being the best imo. I'm just trying to get Sum41 and that chick with the tie out of my head.

Korn and Limp Bizkit - are you kidding that whole show was just cringing to watch.

IMO, not one band did their respective Metallica song justice - typical MTV - roll out some popular bands to do covers of a band trying to get onto MTV

LundiMardi

na, i though Korn(i hate Korn by the by) and Limp Bizdick did good covers, the rest were ****e, especially Staind, i've never actually heard anything worse than that staind performance!

Ph3n0m

you mean Avril Lavigne didnt make ears want to turn inside out?

LundiMardi

She was better than Staind in all fairness.

neGev

Looks like a bag of shyte. The Mastodon cover might be decent, the rest will suck balls.
Awful, awful idea, from start to finish.

At least she's extremely attractive. I would certainly like to stick my penis into her vagina and create friction. Plus, she's Canadian. Who doesn't have a thing for chicks who say 'Aboot'?

Louisiana

i know its off the topic but did you know trivium is supporting iron maiden this year

That's what i like about you, subtle.

Pyr0

This is going to be really really bad, what the hell are FFAF doing there ? And Fightstar ?!? Christ what is the "Metal" world coming to :rolleyes:

Now Pantera - Seek and Destroy is one savage cover !!

mickymg2003

What about Motorheads cover of enter sandman...sounded exactly like the original...sept with slightly differen vocals.

Couldnt have picked worse bands TBH.

Ugh!! Fightstar covering leper messiah...*cringe*

LundiMardi

At least we can all bask in the knowledge that it CAN'T be as bad as Metallica's cover of Whiskey in the Jar:D

there are worse covers of that song out there

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiskey_in_the_Jar

It wasn't me!

Mendeed aren't actually too abd, saw them a while back. I'd like to see what Mastodon do for Metallica as well. Hold out very little hope for the album as a whole though.

dimerocks

In fairness to limp bizkit and korn i thoguht there covers were not too bad at all. the rest of the show was bad. the album will be awful but i will buy it for mastodon on MH and for the curiostity of hearing ****estar

Beautiful way with words, has our KH.

Anyway, what the hell is going on with this album? The bands are in no way worthy of the album. really, Fightstar?

God, imagine that ridiculous "hop" thing during leper messiah . . .
*shudders*

Funnily enough iv been listening to Dream Theater's Master of Puppets album quite a lot lately; I highly recommend it.

I wont pass judgement on this Kerrang offering just yet though, interested to hear Mastodon's take on Orion.

Ruaidhri

So, who'd be a good choice of bands to do it?
I've heard Dream Theater's version, it's pretty good.

I think it'd be funny to pick a bunch of Black / Death bands to do a new, heavier version of this

gizmo

Hrm, I'm not really surprised, they're just playing to their typical audience as usual and so I'm not even going to bother going down the "What if..." road.

On the other hand I quite like BFMV material so far and would consider myself a fan of Trivium so I'm not THAT much against those two bands. Mastodon and Machine Head will be great imho. Not really sure about Chimaira as I've only heard a few of their songs. As for FFAF and Fightstar though...WTF?

Ph3n0m

and yet this album was released several years ago - and I am sorry to say the quality of bands are far better then who is lined up for the "pastor of muppets" album (I will point out that I own neither album )

even this tribute album is great

but as we all know Apocalyptica do the best covers

gokgok

looks like a pile of ****.
