Jeez, how many bands have covered Rebel Yell already?
a good number of those tracks have already been released as bonus tracks on their re-issues. just something to make money, i was getting excited until i realised it said ‘covers’
Exactly, I’ve got 8 of the songs on that tracklisting already courtesy of RE-issued albums (Y)
kinda like hammerfall’s “masterpieces”, most of the songs on that album were already bonus tracks on thier albums and E.P’s
yh ive got most of the songs aswell from bonus tracks off their albums
With a fan compilation doin the rounds i guess Spinefarm wanna stop gettin ripped off. As if all the reissues havent ripped the fans off enough as it is! Corporate fucking greed!
Sounds alright.
Although as mentioned we got all these tracks already.

Check it out.
they should do the Rihanna “umbrella” cover they did at wacken last year…
Looks like they’re adding only a few new covers to the list of shitty covers they’ve already wasted precious studio time on. They could’ve done some cooler tracks. They should’ve done some Morbid Angel, maybe some Death, Venom would’ve been coool since they stole the album title from them. Skid Row would’ve been cooler than fucking poison. You know, shit that is more relevant to their sound. And they should drop the pop bullshit altogether!
Can’t wait for this album. COB are amazing. The Britney Spears cover will be a riot
Where’s the fun in covering bands that sound closer to your sound?
Covering songs OUTSIDE the world or rock and metal is waht makes some covers so interesting!
Sometimes they’re great when interpreted in a metal style, sometimes they just get killed, but it’s worth the risk! XD
You want a band that covers it’s influences and wears them on it’s sleeve go listen to Hatebreed’s For The Lions covers album instead!
You only have 8? I have 13 already!!
I noticed LOMAN’s comment on COB nicking the album title from Venom. It is also the name of a Gamma Ray live album. So how about a GR cover?
Joel, im with you there dude. i love it when a band covers a song to a different style as the original.
Cradle of Filth – Hallowed be thy Name (classic metal to blackish metal)
Metallica – So What (punk to metal)
Children of Bodom – Ghost Riders in the Sky (country to metal)
Johnney Cash – Hurt (industrial to country)
Rodrigo y Gabriella – Orion (metal to Spannish Guitar duo)
covers are far more fun when the bands change shit to suit their own sound.
this should be awesome. all COB albums are awesome
Joel’s definitely got a point, but those cover songs I’ve heard from cob are complete shit, except for the final countdown, which was pretty good. think i’ll stear clear of this disaster…
