    I hadn't come across this until I read about it in the Joel McIver biography.
    FFS!
    It quotes her saying:
    "Beck's bass player (Justin Meldal-Johnsen) suggested I do a cover of Slayer's 'Raining Blood," she says applying strawberry lib balm with her pinkie. "I was reading about what was going on in Afghanistan--the way women were being oppressed, the destruction of religious statues. And when I heard that song, i just imagined a huge juicy vagina coming out of the sky, raining blood over all those racist, misogynist ****ers."

    IN the book, Kerry said that it took him a minute and a half to identify where in the song she was but he went on to say (back in 2001) that it might make them lots of money - don't know if it did though.

    This one was posted in a covers thread here a while back. I hated it then and still do. It bears no resemblance to the original


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭mp3guy


    I prefer covers that sound different from the original, otherwise, whats the point?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 492 ✭✭QOTSA90


    kill it! kill it with fire!

    I think it's an amazing cover to be honest.

    I imagine it was something like this: "did that bitch pay us for this?"

    I miss the duh duh duh drums at the start.

    Her cover of Teen Spirit is much better.

    That said, can't stand the original (of Raining Blood), so I may be biased.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,969 ✭✭✭buck65


    Yeah Teen spirit is a good cover alright. This is a different song to the original, Reign in Blood is the best metal album of all time though.

    If ever there was a case for deletion with extreme predjudice this is it!

    NEVER do that again. Catching unawares the curious in that manner is simply no fair and cruel.

    Mr Cedomination go stand in the corner.

    I remember coming across this song in the good old days where I used to use WinMX to download stuff. I loved it the first time I heard it, and it's still awesome.
