    Iron Maiden's cover of 'My Generation'. It was a b-side about 1995/96-ish. Pretty awful really.

    I do like their cover of 'Hocus Pocus' though :)

    I like Death's cover of Painkiller, personally.

    Also like Mastodon's cover of Orion, I like the way they made their imprint with their own playing style. Complimented it as a cover methinks.

    Motorhead's cover of Louie Louie anyone?
    What about most of Marilyn Manson's covers? Tainted Love, Suicide is painless, etc.
    Actually who did that cool cover of Cars? Was it Fear Factory? That was half brilliant half absolutely terrible. Garage Inc. has it's moments. It has a BOC cover of astronomy on there that is about a million times better than the original.

    I also love their cover of "Tuesday's Gone".

    Fear Factory seem to be able to do some kickass covers. Their cover of U2s I will follow is pretty cool

    Avril Lavigne's version of the Metallica song 'Fuel' is utter rubbish, if it hasn't been posted here already.

    The vocals mainly. And any sixteen year old could make the music sound better than that.

    I'm still traumatised from when they supported Maiden. :(

    I'm not a big fan of either band really, but they had no place on the same bill as eachother, couldnt imagine the Iron Maiden crowd digging FFAF at all, and likewise.

    I had a sneaking suspicion people were just set against the cover because they don't like the band in general. The vocals are pretty cheesey though.
