"Enjoy the Silence (Depeche Mode)"-Lacuna Coil

Every AC/DC-fan will kick me for this. :L
But anyway, Manson's cover from "Highway To Hell" is just much much more better than AC/DC's own.

AC/DC covers?

We all know the masters of those are Hayseed Dixie. smile

I usually severely dislike covers myself sweatdrop

Though, I do love Bauhaus' Ziggy
Lacuna Coil did a half decent turn with Enjoy the Silence *fan of Lacuna, huge fan of the Mode, liked the metalling up of the song 3nodding )
Sister's 1969 is great ^^

Hm, must listen to some on Gil's list *bounces around net*

Can we slag off bad covers too? For fun and gripes?

I highly suggest Nouvelle Vague. They do nothing but covers. All bossa-nova style covers of punk, post-punk, and goth-rock.  

[Vexworth]

Atmosphere - Corpus Delicti - Joy Division
Personal Jesus - Marilyn Manson - Depeche Mode
Ziggy Stardust - Bauhaus - David Bowie. I actually don't care much for the original version....
Sally's Song - London After Midnight (from Nightmare Before Christmas) = heart .

I like most Manson covers, but the originals are usualy way better.

The Nurse Who Loved Me-A Perfect Circle-Failure
Love Song-Jack Off Jill-The Cure
War Pigs- Faith No More-Black Sabbath
Ziggy Stardust-Bauhaus-David Bowie
This is Halloween-Marilyn Manson-The Nightmare Before Christmas movie

...I know I like more covers than that, but my mind blanks

Among my favorites are the following:
Dope Stars Inc. - "Right Here In My Arms"(HIM)
Dope Stars Inc. - "Kiss"(London After Midnight)
Lacuna Coil - "Enjoy The Silence"(Seriously, if you don't already know this one you phale.)
Bauhaus - "Ziggy Stardust"(Again...)
Marilyn Manson - "This Is Halloween"(Nightmare Before Christmas)
London After Midnight - "Sally's Song"(Nightmare Before Christmas)
19th Rage - "Blue Monday"(New Order)
Razed In Black - "Lie 2 Me"("Enjoy the Silence" cover)
Johny Cash - "Hurt"(Nine Inch Nails)
The Birthday Massacre - "Neverending Story"(The Neverending Story)
Schaft - "Broken English"(Marianne Faithful)

These are just a few, as I can't remember much more than this.

 

[Cockroach Waltz]

Rio- AFI (Duran Duran cover)
Blue Monday- Orgy (New Order cover)
Down In The Park- Marilyn Manson (Gary Numan cover)
Schools Out- 45 Grave (Alice Cooper cover)
Total Eclipse- Klaus Nomi (?)
This Wheels On Fire- Siouxsie and the Banshees (Bob Dylan cover)
Dear Prudence- Siouxsie and the Banshees (The Beatles cover)
I Walk The Line- Alien Sex Fiend (Johnny Cash cover)

Though I don't usually listen to metalcore outside of Chimaira, I like Killswitch Engage's cover for Dio's "Holy Diver". Which reminds me, Chimaira's live cover of "Reigning Blood", by Slayer, was in my opinion better than the original.

Cradle of Filth's cover of the Sisters of Mercy song "No Time To Cry", and the Misfits song "Death Comes Ripping". Pretty much their only songs I like. Their cover for "Hallowed Be Thy Name", by Iron Maiden, was a bastardization.

Orgy's "Blue Monday" cover was good too.

Jack Off Jill's "Love Song" cover was good.

And one of my favorites, L'ame Immortalle vs. Fr!ek - "Make A Star"(Dope Stars Inc.).
