Non metal songs that would make GREAT metal covers!![views:11450][posts:72]____________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 12:36pm - maslayer ""] Here are a couple of songs that I think would be killer covers if done right: Kim Wilde - Kids in America The Temptations - Ball of Confusion (anthrax did it but not very good) anyone else got some suggestions? Curious to see what appears |
| ________________________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 12:43pm - slowlypeelingtheflesh ""] Origin should cover Fallout Boy. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 12:43pm - grundlegremlin ""] Pat Benetar-Hell is for Children would be a bad ass cover PS Good job on the Stress Factor the other night. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 12:48pm - Ryan_M ""] billy idol - rebel yell the pointer sisters - so excited |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 12:59pm - dreadkill ""] the popeye the sailor man song |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 1:49pm - kadooganizeratertron ""] with Exploding Christ we're gonna (at some point) cover "Mongoloid" by Devo other than that, I've always wanted to "metal-ize" Funky Town |

| ________________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 1:59pm - Josh_hates_you ""] losing my religion straight outta compton I still need to make a grindcore showtune cover band for songs like tomorrow, the goodship lollipop and somewhere over the rainbow. |
| _____________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:01pm - pam ""] rebel yell has been done. I've always wanted to cover Pat Benetar, but if it didn't come out AMAZING I would feel like I let down 8-year-old me who used to pretend I WAS Pat Benetar. |
| _____________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:03pm - pam ""] I think that Evergrey would do a killer cover of "Soul Asylum" by The Cult. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:03pm - Blue ""] i always though that any depeche mode song would make a great metal cover. |
| _____________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:04pm - pam ""] Blue said:i always though that any depeche mode song would make a great metal cover. Katatonia would KILL with that. |
| _____________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:07pm - pam ""] WAIT! Someone has done Depeche Mode, I forgot, this band Beyond Surface covered Never Let Me Down and did a great job. It's a great album all together if you like that stuff. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:08pm - Blue ""] in flames did a depeche mode song a LONG time ago as well. |
| _____________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:09pm - pam ""] I want In Flames to die in a gasfire. |
| _____________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:10pm - pam ""] it would be both ironic, and satisfying. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:10pm - RichHorror ""] I want to go back in time and murder the members of In Flames when they were children, so every band from New Bedford wouldn't be so fucking weak and gay. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:14pm - Blue ""] LOL |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:17pm - RichHorror ""] This man knows. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:26pm - kevord ""] Extinction Agenda should cover the Goodnight flight. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:27pm - RichHorror ""] They should cover them with tar and feathers. |
| _____________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:29pm - pam ""] I was just listening to Extintion Agenda's demo, so good. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:32pm - anonymous ""] Eternal suffering did a cover of eye of the tiger soooooo. bad ass |
| _____________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:33pm - pam ""] I heard another band do that and it was fucking awesome. I wish I could remember who...it was on Myspace. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 2:33pm - ShadowSD ""] I think Rebel Yell and Hell is For Children are kind of cheating, because those were metal songs to begin with (musically speaking). |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 3:11pm - dreadkill ""] my band is unveiling a non-metal cover on july 7th. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 3:48pm - contagion ""] beat it. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 5:02pm - dyingmuse ""] a garth brook song would be killer! |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 8:14pm - anonymous ""] without a doubt: Two Tribes by Frankie Goes To Hollywood It would be brutal and no one would expect it |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 8:15pm - demon dave ""] without a doubt: Two Tribes by Frankie Goes To Hollywood It would be brutal and no one would expect it |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 8:18pm - PaganMegaN ""] Anything Wagner ever composed. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 11:09pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] grundlegremlin said:Pat Benetar-Hell is for Children would be a bad ass cover PS Good job on the Stress Factor the other night. I think that Bay Area thrash band Viking already covered Hell is For Children. Sorry, just realized I_am_not_me already mentioned it. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 11:10pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Ryan_M said:billy idol - rebel yell the pointer sisters - so excited Rebel Yell has been covered. Pointer Sisters....not that I know of |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 11:11pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] There was that one Garth Brooks song that was pretty heavy. "The Thunder Rolls" or something? |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 11:12pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] pam said:WAIT! Someone has done Depeche Mode, I forgot, this band Beyond Surface covered Never Let Me Down and did a great job. It's a great album all together if you like that stuff. In Flames covered 'Everything Counts'. Moonspell did a badass cover of 'Sacred'. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 11:16pm - sever ""] THE POWER RANGERS THEME! |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 17,2006 11:17pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I've heard someone covering the Power Rangers Theme. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 12:15am - the_reverend ""] Kim Wilde - Kids in America this was covered by both lawnmower deth and razn |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 1:14am - davefromthegrave ""] I've always wanted to hear a black metal version of Tupelo by Nick Cavwe and the Bad seeds. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 1:15am - RichHorror ""] On the same tip, 'Stagger Lee' would sound badass done heavy. |

I've always wanted to do that, or "Too Late." or "Burn." damn, there's so many... We can't decide either. Right now we're going back and forth between Fire in Cairo or Jumpin' Someone Else's train. But we seem to find a new song that we would want to cover everyother week. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 2:22am - anonymous ""] A cover of "It's Raining Men" by Judas Priest. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 2:24am - dwellingsickness ""] I'd like to hear a grind/gore version of Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles |

| _____________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 9:31am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] The Realm cover of Eleanor Rigby was amazing. The Pain cover? Not so good. |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 9:33am - VoidExpression ""] Any Slowdive or MBV song would be killer. I know The Gathering did "When the Sun Hits", but their "metalness" is questionable. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 9:34am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Slowdive is pretty rad. Yeah, The Gathering went off the art rock rocker a long time ago. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 9:49am - the rooster ""] Clitorture used to cover "Rockin' In The Free World" by Neil Young at practices. never did it live though. always thought "Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas could be really heavy too. love that tune. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 9:51am - the rooster ""] how about Crowbar doing "Dream Weaver". what a low point in their career. i don't know if that was supposed to be funny or what, but it pissed me off more than anything. that whole album kinda sucks anyways. |

| _________________________________ [Jun 19,2006 11:36am - xmikex ""] Someone should cover the theme to the Crossfire commercial. |

| ______________________________ [Jun 19,2006 1:23pm - CNV ""] I would like to hear Judas priest cover Banana Rama- Cruel Cruel Summer |
| ______________________________ [Jun 19,2006 1:25pm - Yeti ""] i would like to hear some weird ambient/acoustic cover of that Simon and Garfunkel song that goes "lie la lie lie lie la lie, lie la lie BOOOOM" |

I even like the studio version as well, even though that cd as a whole blows. Lawnmower Deth is one of those hidden gems. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 20,2006 2:48pm - burnsy ""] I'd love to hear a metal cover of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 20,2006 3:03pm - grundlegremlin ""] Land of Confusion by Genesis. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 20,2006 3:23pm - Beaver McD ""] A metal version of The Devil went down to Georgia by the Charlie Daniels Band would be awesome |
