[Lone359]

[kambiz8321]

I think you should also consider Graveworm cover

[DimaAkai]

i also would suggest you to listen Northern Kings - Rethroned (2008). their A-HA cover is magnificent! and where is Children Of Bodom?

p.s.: i wish Dragonforce do pop covers)

[SerasxAlucard]

A number of these groups remind me a little of Sonata Arctica. :)

[byDarkSpark]

OK, but what about the Northern Kings? Don`t you know them?

[enslavedbymetal]

EVERGREEN.

[burgerpc]

Horrible Euro-Trash Shit Bands!



[03212871007]

beat it the best cover!

[88swordmaster]

completely disagree, sorry

[LORDRACOLON]

@88swordmaster Completely agree with you,man.

[88swordmaster]

@LORDRACOLON I think that if I want to listen metal I don't want to listen Britney Spears or other stupid songs... they make this covers to approach low level listeners... this is my point of view

[CaptainCuC]

WOOOOWWWWW NICE COVER OF BEAT IT!!!!

[DatIsSumGudShit]

Wow... power metal fucking sucks

[celticgirl08]

you missed Nightwish with "Where Were You Last Night?" :(

[StopDropDoBarrelRoll]

May I make two suggestions? 1. My Love (Justin Timberlake) by We Came As Romans 2. Run this Town (Kanye West and whoever else) by Miss May I

[StopDropDoBarrelRoll]

Too...many....fucking....subge­nres of metal....just saying lol

[TheKillerMan1992]

You also missed Alejandro of lady gaga by Helia... but this a metalcore cover ^^

[laurelfan1]

Yngwie Malmsteen should've been number 1, but these are all fucking KICK ASS!!!

[Gryphful]

Headbangin to ABBA FTW!!!

[dome744]

Omg Gammaray covered Pet Shop Boys, never knew that before, sounds great!

[esitulekzisnepa]

Pathfinder did better cover of Alphaville IMO, but this one is great too.

[MadderPrinciple]

Awesome - great to have this on MP3 - well done for posting!

[SieTeppischfresser]

I like the raintime cover of michael jackson



[TDBenchwarmer8]

These arent metal bands, they are hard rock. There is a fine line between metal and hard rock. Metal: As I Lay Dying/All That Remains/Suicide Silence. Hard rock: Those mentioned in this video

[TheVinlandViking]

@TDBenchwarmer8 Suicide Silence ... Metal? Yeah right. Go listen to some more music and then you might be able to tell ONE real Metal band.

[JRockGalaxy]

@TDBenchwarmer8 Not quite. Most of these are Power Metal, which are actual metal.

[dimensionzero0]

@TDBenchwarmer8

Yngwie, Gamma Ray, Vision Divine, Raintime, Dragonland aren't metal?

Go fuck yourself kid.

[dimensionzero0]

Problem is with stupid scene kiddies like you, is that you get off telling someone who or what is metal, but then you list the new wave of emo metal as real metal? LOL.

[TheOpensourceFTW]

@TDBenchwarmer8 none Of what you mentioned is metal

[dome744]

@TDBenchwarmer8 lol your posted bands are metalCORE n' not Heavy Metal. Iron Maiden, Saxon und Judas Priest are Heavy Heavy Metal for example. /wise guy mode off :-)

[CypherThanatos]

@TDBenchwarmer8

haha lol as i lay dying and all that remains are metalcore en suicide silence is deathcore and since their last album kinda nu-metal. not (heavy) metal .

[moneycutt]

Metallica,Type o negative,five finger death,allice chains

[Boyscout1904]

Wow, listening to No 4 now and there has been not one choice that I´d disagree with!!

[Boyscout1904]

@Boyscout1904

GREAT COMPILATION! HONESTLY!!!

[RakkausVihaKuolema]

Check out: Warmen (with Alexi Laiho) - Somebody's watching me (Michael Jackskon's cover)

freakin' awesome, isn't it? :D

[c4l2lo]

ANYTHING AND I MEAN ANYTHING SOUNDS GLORIOUS WHEN IS MADE BY THE ART OF HEAVY METAL!

[HillarysHitman]

@c4l2lo this should be top comment

[Paeddyful]

Check out Emil Bulls, they've done a cover of Take On Me. They're a German alternative Metal band.

[8rammstein]

@Paeddyful und sie haben's drauf :D

[Nicebloo]

You forgot Amazing horse by ReinXeed...

[Lycanthroat1978]

Jameson does a better Beat it cover

[VroniWunda]

where is Children of Bodom with oops i did it again ? thats the fucking best ;)

[mats3010]

where is bodom?



[panavia2]

Jeff Scott Soto - Crazy (SEAL Cover)

[monkeyssomejerk]

Hmm, this seems to be a very power metal focussed list.  Where's the Ten Masked Men? Six Feet Under? Anal Cunt? Excrementory Grindfuckers? etc.

[JuanPaBJxGothic]

@monkeyssomejerk not actually, To/Die/For is a Doom Metal band, Nevergreen is Gothic Doom, Yngwie Malmsteen is Neoclassical Metal, Raintime is Progressive, Axel Rudi Pell is Heavy ¬¬

[lcsantiago]

I agree. Take on Me from Vision Divine is better than Northern Kings. La Isla Bonita is amazing e and Maniac is very very cool.

[CelticSpiritWolf]

first song sounds like someething from a ps2 game lol

[Brutalyeah]

These video's suck. I remember a time in the 80s and 90s where rock, hard rock and metal was considered alot closer to pop. Right now everything that has a guitar in it is considered ''alternative''.

[TheWolfman510]

@Brutalyeah Metallica(Metal) Slayer(Metal) Justin bieber(Shit) This comment(Pointless) xD

[BattleAngel1]

@Brutalyeah Times have changed. Luckily Metal has not. So let's enjoy and fuckin' bang our heads instead of complaining \m/

[Brutalyeah]

@BattleAngel1

Metal has not?!?!

Compare Megadeth, Pantera, Death, Slayer, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Iron Maiden

to Disturbed, Linkin Park, Children of Bodom and Slipknot. Metal has changed alot.

I LOVED metal from the 80s and 90s, and I HATE metal from after 2000.

[JuanPaBJxGothic]

@Brutalyeah you're a poser, linkin park, soundgarden, slipknot aren't Metal at all.

Metal from the 80s was too simplistic, very close to hard rock; but in the 90s it developed so much and became more complex and nowadays there's a vast quantity of badass styles and bands of real METAL.

[Brutalyeah]

@JuanPaBJxGothic

I'm a poser?!?!?! Well whatever.

But wtf are you talking about complex music, ever listened to Dream Theater? or Death (Chuck Schuldiner)?

You prolly won't even understand it. Go listen to a song like Learning To Live or Dance of Eternity from Dream Theater or Overactive Imagination from Death. Any of the bands we just named are nothing compared to that in terms of complexity.

Alot of metal nowadays is too simplistic. Yes it's fast sometimes, but simple.

[Brutalyeah]

@JuanPaBJxGothic

And metal from the 80s was mostly simplistic indeed, but late 80s and early 90s had the best known and most complex albums.

[MultiHellhound666]

@JuanPaBJxGothic Dude you're the fucking poser. i can see not calling soundgarden or linkin park metal, but you're not even a true metal head if you don't consider slipknot metal. There's a reason they're called nu METAL. so before you say another band's not metal that actually is think twice because i could tell you so many metal off hand that you'd blow a fucking blood vessel and I'm probably younger than you are YOU FUCKING JEWISH BASTARD

[JuanPaBJxGothic]

@MultiHellhound666 ROFLMFAOL! a slipk-pop groupie-fanboy, haha "numetal"? WTF! that's a bastard crappy genre which usurped the last name "Metal". You'd cry a lot but it will never be Metal whatsoever, hahahaha! and what's the problem with jewish? lolz! I'm not religious, I don't have gods nor religions, you stupid fucking little poser asshole.

[cubby3o5]

@JuanPaBJxGothic From a musical point of view "nu Metal" is still close enough to Heavy Metal to be considered Metal.

Though, in my opinion, it still sucks.

[MerryOnceAgain]

@Brutalyeah Disturbed, Children of Bodom and Slipknot are pretty damn good. Linkin Park isn't even metal, the fuck you talking about?

[Brutalyeah]

@MerryOnceAgain

Alternative rock, nu metal, alternative metal, rap rock

-Wikipedia

+ I didnt say anything bad about those bands. I dont like em tho afaik.

[vokills420]

why is exhumed's cover of material girl by madonna not on this list?

[akwillc]

[321dna]

[camachotemplario]

[Clarkester450]

Good to see firewind on there, Maniac is a brilliant song by them!

[umbelb]

[daberko120ch]

@umbelb Malmsteen is metal.

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

[Nakira27]

Edguy - Hymn

Avantasia - Dancing with tears in my eyes

Pathfinder - Moonlight Shadow

[JohaNN010]

[mevalemadres1000]

[DepressorStein]

@mevalemadres1000 YES!! I think it's best of covers!

[69Tstone]

cinnamon girl type o negative

[BakeleeHD]

:)

[MickeyLBrown]

@mevalemadres1000

Others have doen it better.

[HeppinnMelrakki]

yngwie could make twinkle,twinkle epic

[Gricharias]

I love metal cover of pop music but this is the wors covers I ever heard.

[silenno]

only the NORTHERN KINGS can do it right!!! :)

[Butthead3600]

That Neverending Story Cover was EPIC yo

[Kevbob624]

these covers are worse than the songs being covered...

[qu7aker]

@Kevbob624 nah chill dude the madonna and maniac cover were really good. but its funny Children of bodom werent included and these are all power metal bands.

[MrTaydogg]

bad songs.......... even worse bands

[BlizzCo13]

Somebody's Watching Me by Raunchy is best metal cover of all time!

[jack021jetm]

take on me with mago de oz is good

[Ryannpwns]

Beat it definitely sounds metal alot of the other stuff actually sounds soft for metal



[FIxt00l]

The Beat it cover is pure kickass ! But the prize for the best cover goes to Jeff Scott Soto for singing the hymn of the youth, with all his heart and breath, it is so epic, and the original song...Well, this guy has no idea if he sings or cries.

[PearlyPassion89]

Most of these are pretty gay.

[RedOgre83]

Good job!

[imixeeee]

First picture is not DRAGONLAND, is PINK CREAM 69!!!!

[OniKensei]

@imixeeee

Don't know who that is, but it's a hilarious name for a band!

[JikenBread]

@imixeeee Nice name for a band, hilarious!

[DanyWoo]

Umbrella by Lillasyster is an awsome cover.

[Nightcrarwler]

Forever Young is better from Pathfinder ;-)

You forgott Pathfinder - Moonlightshadow

Ascension - Listen to your Heart ;-)

[H0leNtheWall]

Northern Kings does take on me so much better.

[Greenhelm64]

number 4 is a pretty awesome picture

[SvBojan]

Alogia-What a feeling

Seasons After- Cry little sister

Bullet For My Valentine- No easy way out

I've checked 10 different videos on YT regarding metal covers, no one made video with these songs in it, and they are awesome!

[TheRJXproductions]

omg fucking awesome

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

I like most of these - Never Ending Story kicked along great, Gamma ray are awesome, Vision Divine's version worked better than crappy A-ha of course. Good vocals overall from all artists. Malknmsteens Gimme Gimme Gimme was awe inspiring guitar work as usual. I will be looking that one up for sure. Cheers!

[JWSauve]

Um im high and can say that ther are much better covers out ther, for the most part!

[rocknymm]

raintime decente...raintime good cover..

[Torron79]

@rocknymm I for myself prefer Breed77 - way better in my opinion^^



[estacadugan]

Terribles todas..... La isla potita.... acojonante!

[BigMattee53]

your high, there are so many better covers than these, you should get out more haha
