The Unusual Metal Cover Songs thread

r3nu4l

This thread is for any strange classic metal cover songs you come across.
I'll start with this Bluegrass version of Motorheads Ace of Spades from YouTube
It reminds me a lot of the Iron Horse Fade to Bluegrass album of Metallica covers...class :cool:

I like Faith No More's cover of that song. Very f**ked up. Or their version of "Easy" is class too.

Yeah, love the Faith No More cover too, but I posted that recently, and it's nice to see a cool non-metal cover of it too.

Hayseed Dixie! Great stuff, not something I'd put on but live they're so much fun. Although their version of the "Ace of Spades" is nearly identical to the Jever Mountain Boys' version from 1992. *takes record nerd hat off*

Another version of "War Pigs", this time from The Flaming Lips although it's not that weird, a fairly straightforward cover.

Ryan Adams does a great version of Black Flag's "Nervous Breakdown" on the Rise Above tribute album, there's a legal live download of it here.

for a second i thought this thread related to album covers, would have went straigh towards manowar................

GhostInTheRuins

It's not really a Metal song but I have to post it cause it's so bad. Celine Dion and anastacia covering You Shook me all night long ACDC.

They've come a long way from busking on Grafton St., haven't they? I'm just back from Denver today, and their album was on the charts in the Virgin Megastore there. :cool:

Alanthroneus

apocalyptica covering "fade to black". its great

I prefer their version of The Unforgiven. Sends shivers down the spine!

I also think that Metallica's cover of "Tuesday's Gone"(on the Garage Inc cd)is brilliant.
