So lots of big bands do covers version , some good, some not so good.

Lets focus on the good.

Here are some of my favorites: originally by Journey, The Beatles, and Tear for Fears respectively.

I rather like Thyrfing's cover of Over the Hills and Far Away. Doesn't beat the original but good effort.

Have to say, that really disappointed me. Was expecting better from them.

Another good cover version imo, is Machine Head's version of Battery.

I enjoyed that, had not heard them do that cover before. Cheers for posting it.

One of the very few times that I have heard a Lynyrd Skynyrd cover that I liked.

Motorheads versions of Whiplash and Enter Sandman are simply brilliant :pac:

That's actually quite cool. What kind of music do they usually play?

Kess73 · 09-09-2009 10:34pm

The Motorhead tracks brought this to mind.

Tuesday's Gone: Metallica, Les Claypool, Pepper Keenan, Gary Rossington, Jim Martin etc.

Found on their Garage Days Re-Revisited double album. Brilliant song.
