    It wasn't actually SOAD who covered it. Someone just said it was by them but it's actually by a band called Syd. Just thought I'd share :lol:


    I'm suprised that no one has put Avril Lavigne's extremely crap covers in their dislikes list :lol:


    I shall post my lists when I can be arsed.

    FAVOURITE.

    Arch Enemy - Aces High (Iron Maiden)
    Cannibal Corpse - No Remorse (Metallica)
    Children of Bodom - Aces High (Iron Maiden)
    Death - Painkiller (Judas Priest)
    Fear Factory - Millenium (Killing Joke)
    Hypocrisy - Black Metal (Venom)
    Opeth - Soldier of Fortune (Deep Purple)
    Pantera - Electric Funeral (Black Sabbath)
    Pantera - Hole In The Sky (Black Sabbath)
    Pantera - Planet Caravan (Black Sabbath)
    Snoop Dogg - Sad But True (Metallica)
    Throwdown - Baby Got Back (Sir Mix Alot)
    Trivium - Master of Puppets (Metallica)

    NOWHERE NEAR FAVOURITE.

    Arch Enemy - Symphony of Destruction (Megadeth)
    Fear Factory - I Will Follow (U2)
    Pantera - Cold Gin (Kiss)
    Pantera - Whiplash (Metallica)

    Painkiller or Hole In The Sky are probably my most favourites. I feel bad for the shitty pantera covers, as they are victims of ridiculous alcohol consumption, while Symphony of Destruction was simply....horrendous.

    From the bootlegs I have, I dig The Mars Volta's cover of Interstellar Overdrive by Pink Floyd. I love how it segues into the jam nicely.
