Tr00 dat.

Nightwish - Over The Hills And Far Away (Gary Moore) and Sentenced - White Wedding (Billy Idol) are pretty good covers as well, but not THE BEST OMGH LOL!1

Yeah, his covers are okay, but his other stuff is incredibly bad and cheap.

Here's one that probably most of you have never heard. Crispin Glover's cover of These Boots Are Made For Walkin. I seriously enjoy it....And I do not know why. I have it on about 10 different CD compilations just because.

Not his cover of Common People. That sucks.

PRESS PLAY ON TAPE did a fucking awesome cover of the Secret of Monkey Island themesong. The trumpet or saxophone or whatever it is is pretty weak, but it's genius anyways.

Oh, so Whiskey in the Jar wasn't originally Thin Lizzy's?
I still like Metallica's version better :/

i think Megadeths Cover of These Boots is very cool, Also Death's cover of Judis Priest's Painkiller Rock's.

Aye, don't particularly like Judas Priest but that cover really sounds awesome; in fact I think it puts the original song to shame.

Kudos to Chuckie.
