pretty much every slayer cover ever is better than the original slayer version.

Ragnarok (UK) covering Manowar's Heart of Steel:

[The Seventh Son]

[From Blintzes to Crepes]

[Tony Twist]

I love the originals so much but these are close calls:




And while I'm on FNM ................

I love the originals so much but these are close calls:

I remember BUNGVOX posting a pretty jaw dropping performance of Melvins doing ITV live

THOU do an alright cover of Born Against's "Well Fed Fuck"

[Natas]

Okay. So I try not to be the guy who gets appaled by stuff but I can not ignore this any more. I mean guns of Brixton? The Clash? London Calling? Helloooooo

Motorhead? Pink Floyd? Lay Lady Lay?? Devo?

and the wosrt of them all: HOW CAN YOU SAY ANY COVER VERSION OF DANCING QUEEN IS BETTER THAN ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER RECORDED

sorry carry on. I guess I very rarely like covers better than originals

[Mari_Mar]

Sorry, Tom.

YES!!! Totally agree!

Also:

[Iron Goldie]

sorry carry on. I guess I very rarely like covers better than originals

I agree. There's maybe two songs in this thread that actually trump the original. There are plenty of covers I'd consider almost as good, or equal (like Eddie Hazel's or George Benson's cover of California Dreamin') but a cover that beats the original is rare indeed.

I guess we'll forever be the naysayers here...

I love Burzum, but this is just fucking perfection

[Idget Child]

pfffft no frickin way

Pretty much why I decided to post, too. This is so off the fucking mark.

More like this.

And this!


Maybe add this (even though I still love RP to death):

This rules. I was so pissed when they played here about 11-12 years ago and these two inconsiderate crusty broads got in a hair pulling fight in front of the stage and they stopped halfway through the song... take it outside and throw garbage at each other.

They were pissed too, the guy with short hair was like "we drove 1400 miles to play for you, you idiots"

I was shocked that no one's called me out for the initial vid (Vader's Silent Scream) and I am ultra shocked at this shit. Either you hate Slayer or you haven't heard enough covers... there's some real bullshit out there. I don't think any Hell Awaits cover is better than the original, as was suggested above. Well... there might be one exception:

ITS A JOKE

pfffft no frickin way

Pretty much why I decided to post, too. This is so off the fucking mark.

I just heard both for the first time... it's a draw! Nirvana one just sounds like generic Nirvana. Wipers one could sound like generic Wipers... fuck if I know!

[noah thirteen]

I remember really liking this album half a lifetime ago, now it just sounds like fucking garbage....

No way that cover was ever better than the Germs though

[soiled depends]

def. their worst record.....

[noah thirteen]

This is my favorite Slayer cover - the original is great too

[Necrometer]

the underground? you guys can keep it

hahaha, see my awesome edit up above - nice sync there

[noah thirteen]

Any version of this....

[Gay for Cock]

The fuck is wrong with you?

[ThePhillyExperiment]

[The Real MPD]

[The Seventh Son]

I don't think this is BETTER than the original, but a lot of killer Slayer covers have been posted and this one shouldn't be overlooked


Also, all covers by Judas Priest except for Johnny B. Goode.
