The WORST Metal Cover Songs Of All Time!

[@MetalTrenches]

Behind Blue Eyes is far worse than Faith imo

The disturbed cover of sound of silence makes me giggle it’s so fucking overwrought and soulless.

[@Vidfavne]

My ex-boss made me listen to that shit. He was some kind of nu-metal fan and had oviously never heard of Simon and Garfunkel.

[@MyFairOne]

Oh gosh, their cover of Sound of Silence was way too melodramatic for my taste. It was too much, I just could not get into it.

[@Skycladatdusk78]

It's crazy some prefer that to the original.

[@vinnyhydeSWT]

Dishonorable mention: MGK - aerials (SOAD)

[@ElliYeetYT]

Fun Fact: The Limp Bizkit Faith Cover was the song that got them their breakthrough. So for better or worse (In your case the latter) the song made them big.

[@midianrises1742]

Disturbed’s cover of Land of Confusion was far superior to In Flames version.

Absolutely, not even close.

Facts

[@RazorRex]

Another awful cover: Gene Simmons cover of the Prodigy's Firestarter. It comes with an even worse music video that is just him standing around posing and smirking with half-naked women. It's also worth nothing, this was released back in 2004 when he was in his 50s.

[@MrDumbassidiot]

Type O Negative is/was the exception. Some arguably better than the originals.

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Their cover of 'Cinnamon Girl' is fantastic

[@Igor.J.Delgado]

I was going to comment exactly that. They did a ton of covers and they're amazing IMO. Their Paranoid cover is one of my favorite songs ever

[@Brando-Lee3725]

Death covering Painkiller by Priest was awesome though!!!! Surely you can let that one slide, right? That MuthaFKR shreds!!! And HBD you metal psycho!!! I meant that as a compliment by the way.

[@danielthenorwegianguy]

Johnny B Goode by Judas Priest. It should be on everyone’s list as one of the worst. Priest has done amazing jobs making covers into their own wether it be Diamonds and Rust, better by you better than me or Green Manalishi, Jonny B Goode needs to be erased from their discography

[@c4gam1ng12]

Some of my least favorite covers: 1) Bring Me The Horizon - Eyeless 2) Periphery - One 3) Six Feet Under - basically every cover they’ve done 4) Motley Crue - Fight For Your Right To Party 5) Puddle of Mudd - About A Girl 6) Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes 7) William Shatner - Iron Man 8) Avenged Sevenfold - Flash of the Blade (I’m not sorry) 9) Overkill - Changes (Bobby Blitz cannot sing a legitimate ballad to save his life) 10) Bad Wolves - Zombie Also I’m a sucker for Fireball. But it has to be cold.

[@madonnasbutthole9674]

I love Puddle of Mudd's cover. I can't hate something that makes me laugh that hard. But yes, you are right about everything you said.

[@clayfoster8234]

That zombie cover is god awful.

[@DustyEchozy]

​@@clayfoster8234If we are talking about Zombie by Cranberries then I am just gonna say it, the original song was already pretty awful but I haven't listened to the cover yet.

[@Theblackmetalhead1]

I like spineshank especially their 2nd album

[@nealcrabtree3647]

I agree. I still love it.

[@Hoardingcorpses]

I remember picking up the 2nd album from best buy when I was younger and it didn't leave my CD player for a long time.

[@AOV-rv3ov]

They are underrated in the nu metal department, in my opinion at least

[@Grim_666-]

Also I agree with you about comedy. Comedy doesn’t excuse shit quality.

[@awol.oper8r]

Bad Wolves' butt-rockification of "Zombie" by The Cranberries has gotta be among the worst

[@floydharper1216]

Indeed, I wasn't even a big fan of the original and still felt offended on behalf of the Cranberries lol.

[@alexddragame]

I didn't thought "who the fuck is Spineshank" cause I love their couple of albums post debut 💀 That cover and debut album sucked tho

[@Thrashisback]

I think covers are the best when a cover offers something the original does not, a reason to comeback and listen to it in addition to the original that also puts the band's own spin/flare on it or when the song plays well to the band's strengths. Some good examples are Judas Priest "Diamonds and Rust", Voivod "Astronomy Domine", Death "Painkiller", Unto Others "Hell is for Children" and "Pet Cemetery". You even said that in your Emperor retrospective that "Gypsy" was "fucking incredible" before I reminded you that it was a Mercyful Fate cover, ya sillybilly!

I'll list my favourites and least favourites My favourites: Death - Painkiller (I already love Death, but man chucks vocals are beyond incredible) Linkin park - Rolling in the deep Metallica - I am Evil (the only cover I like from them) Least favourites: Most of Megadeths covers especially the 80s Six Feet Under - TNT Every fucking metal Christmas covers! (I hate Christmas songs to begin with)

[@DustyEchozy]

Bro I am sorry but you should've put Death's Painkiller here, yeah I know that cover literally has it's own fanbase but as a Judas Priest enjoyer, I just hate that cover a lot. Mainly because of Chuck Schuldiner's 14yo high-school girl impression and (worst of all) the solo, yep, I absolutely hate the solo, it sounds absolutely nothing like the original and it was just bad.

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

booooo, sorry bud but I genuinely kinda love that cover.

[@lamentate07]

Danzig's cover of You Are Always On My Mind held promise, but the album was bad when it finally arrived. Huge disappointment. Metal covers of pop songs are usually bad because the sense of melody is totally different, and even if they nail the melody, they get the vocal inflections wrong when singing the lyrics etc.

[@saturninewyrd]

happy birthday robert, you should review every burzum album. love ya

[@clayfoster8234]

Ironically liked. 😂

[@ChuckChuckGoof]

THIS NEXT ONE GOES OUT TO ALL THE LADAYZ!!!

[@vayichrah]

@16:45 This is why I will always hate every cover that's attempted for Black Tears by Edge of Sanity. Every cover version of that song I've ever heard completely misses the point of its vulnerability by making it aggressive with growls/screams and heavy breakdowns. On a different note, one of the best covers ever, in my opinion, is Carpathian Forest's take on A Forest originally by The Cure. At the very least, it's a hell of a lot better than that terrible Behemoth version of the same song.

[@RE-vy4wn]

Spineshank's second album was actually pretty decent, but yeah, that cover was terrible. One that I do like, and I don't know if you ever heard it is the Atreyu cover of "Epic" by Faith No More. It was on their Papers Sails and a Lead Anchor album from 2007. happy early birthday!

[@Grim_666-]

I didn’t know that Smoking In The Boys Room was a cover song. I thought that was an original song by Motley Crue lol

[@mbsisktb9045]

Thanks for the reminder that spineshank existed. That was a name I hadn’t heard in 20 some odd years. Also happy birthday

Six feet unders maiden covers are god awful, especially the evil that men do

[@SlickGames2-gd5jw]

I hate that Van Canto have a drummer they should have a beatboxer instead

[@charizardmaster13]

Hot take but faith is a sick cover. From the crappy guitar tone in the verses playing the major progression to then exploding into a hard af groove when durst screams the hook. The guitars legit go hard and the dirty grimey production helps this and same goes for the breakdown. Above all else its fun granted this is from someone who thinks the original song is beyond cringey and lame

[@CraigMader]

It's actually my birthday. You're the only one who sang the song today. Cheers!

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

aww happy bday bud, cheers 🍺🍺🍺

[@PacifistNihilist]

A couple of covers I do enjoy are KSE “Holy Diver” (I personally love that one more than the original) and COF “Hallow Be Thy Name” (original is still the best but this one is pretty good imo). Motörhead covering Enter Sandman I never enjoyed.

[@Skycladatdusk78]

Motorhead covering Jumpin' Jack Flash was pretty cool.

[@PacifistNihilist]

and Motörhead covering “Hellraiser” is incredible.

[@RacingVagabond]

I don't mind covers, but a majority are horrible or just copy the original so closely it makes you wonder why they bothered. None will beat Disturbed's Sound of Silence for horribleness though, mainly because the local rock station played it so often it became a running joke on their morning show.

[@jjperera3389]

Megadeth anarchy in Uk is pretty bad

[@fonttalk8065]

Now you need "bad covers of metal songs" I nominate Cake's version of War Pigs

[@jesurenbnb]

Here are my worst rock and metal cover songs 1. MGK- aerials by system of a down 2. Puddle of mudd- about a girl by nirvana 3. Falling in reverse- gangsta paradise by coolio (yes i know its not a rock and metal song, but oh my god ronnie radke somehow made this song suck) 4. Gene simmons- Firestarter by the prodigy 5. Five finger death punch- gone away by the offspring 6. Motley crue- fight for your right to party by the beastie boys 7. Celine dion and Anastasia- shook me all night long by acdc (yes i know its a bunch of pop stars covering a rock classic, but i am still going to put this, on this the list) 8. That otep cover album in its entirety 9. graveyard classics 2 by six feet under (my condolences to acdc)

Your inclusion of In Flames version of Land of Confusion reminded me of the Disturbed cover of the same song from the Ten Thousand Fists album. Phil would *not" be proud

[@SafeIsJustAShadow409]

This video was great. I personally don't mind a cover song being in the same style as long as it compets with or improves upon the original in some compacity (whether it's by having a punchier production, heavier vocal style, etc.) But, the examples you used to explain why you think it's lame are very solid points, and the covers that are on this list definitely deserve to be there, because they are terrible.

[@CloneAtWork]

Honestly I've erased that Van Canto cover from my memory for good, so thanks for bringing it back into my mind xD. I've seen them live at a festival simply because I was waiting for Sodom, who played right after, and my god I have never laughed and cringed so hard at a concert. As you said, it was incredibly goofy and just... a mess to listen to.

The Sound Of Silence by Nevermore, while admittedly very creative almost feels insulting to Simon and Garfunkel’s original version.

[@JoshieMadhatt]

Was gonna post this under your fave covers but I feel like this example would go better here. So you mention all those "novelty" covers like and metalcore/screamo is EVEN more guilty of this. But one that I actually really LOVED was The Devil Wears Prada doing a cover of "Still Fly" by Big Tymers....fuckin hear me out ok....put down the pitchfork. It was just really fuckin fun ok, they did the metalcore riffage and even though it was totally stereotypical I love the fact they added a breakdown which the lyrics gave them a perfect excuse to put there "then I heard the boom from the amplifiers" LOL I fall for the novelty tricks from time to time ok there I admitted it
