Gene Simmons' cover of Firestarter

(If you don't know this one, please don't go look for it - you'll only upset yourself.)

Weird Al - Eat It

I love the video where the gutiarist is playing so fast the neck starts smoking, then on fire, then he fukking blows up!!!!! and there are about 2 measures of the song without a guitar solo frickn hilarious!!!!! that shit cracked me up.

Faith No More's cover of The Commodore's "Easy Like Sunday Morning" - just awesome, great vocals by Patton, killer tone and vibe in Jim Martin's guitar solo, well worth the listen, it is bad ass IMO.

Hilarious!!

Slayer - Inna Gadda Da Vida

Weird Al - Eat It

I don't think we should count Mr. Yankovic as I don't think a parody counts as a cover, does it? He is a friggin genius tho. I'm not embarrassed to say I went to one of his shows last year... between Job for a Cowboy and Metallica shows. heh

Speaking of Slayer tho... the whole damn Undisputed Attitude (mostly punk covers) is awesome. Mr. Freeze, Richard Hung Himself, etc.

[6string40]

Red Hot Chili Pepper's cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground"

Shadows Fall - Welcome to the Machine.

How could I forget those?!?! Welcome to the Machine is fantastic! Thier version of Teasin Pleasin is great too!

[toejam]

I knew they did a version of Teasin Pleasin, but I actually haven't heard it. I only have The Art of Balance CD, but I just saw them live a few weeks ago and need to pick up some more of their stuff.

[guitarsjb]

Johnny Cash's version of One (U2)
