Opeth is one of those bands that I feel like I should really like them, but for whatever reason I just can't get into them at all.

Iron Maiden sucks. I could record myself trying to replicate one of their songs with flatulence and it would sounds better than the original. And the Doors did Roadhouse Blues.

---

That's righ The Doors thank you; not sure why nvm it's because Healey did it in Roadhouse the movie.

I was never a Maiden fan at all but Bruce has a tremendous voice and Hallowed be thy NAme is a good jam dude. Opeth is a mood type band for alot of people; plus you don't seem to like those long songs they do; but S.O.F. is short and sweet give it a try.

---

I don't necessarily mind long songs, Pink Floyd is one of my all-time favorite bands. But I do find that if long songs aren't done just right that they get boring in a hurry. I assume S.O.F. is an album?

And how can you not like At the Gates? Slaughter of the Soul is a great album.

No S.O.F. was just me abbreviating the song I posted sorry; I just got through lifting and am tired lol.

Pink Floyd rules; watched the mvie the other night it never gets old lol.

I liked... oh fuck what was the songs name...I think it had the line "...an ocean of pain in you" in the chorus. That was an ok Opeth song.

Burden, yeah I remember you liked that song. It's a good one.

Dont worry this will get him back Fenster!

He loves Jethro Tull dont you Lyle :)

Listen to this and tell me it isnt a masterful remake of Bach's 'Suite in E Minor for Lute'.

Two very rare ones the writer Carl Perkins playing it.

And very rare Ozzy and Sabbath doing it. Listen to Tony Immoni going off on lead.

Sorry Fenster, The Darkness rocked that song out ;)

Andre, no thank you, a lot of people like Ozzy and all but he shouldn't cover that. Jethro Tull is crap

The Animals version of House of the Rising Sun outdid the earlier Bob Dylan version by quite a bit.

Johnny Cash's version of Mercy Seat is amazing

the original is quality as well

Can not agree on machine head doing hallowed be thy name better then maiden but then again im a maiden fan. I really should of been born in the 70s so i could of lived through the 80s, most of the music i have on my Ipod is no where near current.

There is tons of excellent covers which I've seen and discovered here; If I would have to share one and only one with you here, I think that it would be :

Johnny Cash - hurt

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clq01TXQR0s



To me, this cover of NIN is perhaps one of the three best cover songs ever did, this song has the power to comfort me when I am sad and to make me melancholic when I am doing fine.

Any song Nirvana covered they did with total class..

Here is one i'd like to add

Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in the Jar

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TehFZ38kt6o
Then Metallica performing the sh!t out of it..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oKLq1JD3vU

Metallica...there's a band I hope I never hear from again. "Bunch of assholes" - The Dude


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq5P4LnrGU0

...tough to outshine Frankie, but Elvis held his own covering that song


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX3OwyaNnyM

GREAT version of Dixie
