As you can see, metal these days lack some sort of orignality always covering songs, or using the same sound and basically the same riff for everysong.... saying that indie bands do it these days too.... but metal is better m/

BUT some of them are good, do there is a plus side.

what are the best covers you have heard...

i know it says metal in the tittle, but just a general cover would be okay...

• Daddy cool, orignaly by Boney M. Placebo's Cover is brilliant.
• Word up by Cameo, Korns Version was Ok for a Nu-metal band.
• Death Metal covers - Ten Masked Men, great covers.
• Raintime - Beat It originally by M. Jackson
• Inactive Messiah - beat it
• Gigi D'Agostino - "The riddle", originally by Nik Kershaw
• Firewind - "she's a maniac", originally by Michael Sembello
• Exhumed - "Material Girl", originally By Madonna
  
• Jeff Healy - "while my guitar gently weeps" (originally by George Harrison)
• Spasm - "She loves me not" originally by T.A.T.U
• Jig-Ai - Gential Grinder originally by Carcass - better quality and more modern sound, great cover!!!

"When lights go Out, Malice grows in the corner, and eats it's children. Fear of death awakens, and gathers troops under your window. Fold your hands, so that devil won't snap your neck..."

Yeah that cover of eluvieties wasn't too great, the original is better like... nicer sounding vocals, slightly heavier....

audiosurf is a cool game, little rocket... its cool =]
