Some missing ones there MH:

Slayer – Born To Be Wild
Hammerfall – I Want Out
Nightwish – Over The Hills And Far Away
Ensiferum – Battery

Manowar – An American Trilogy

Moonsorrow – For Whom The Bell Tolls
Napalm Death – Nazi Punks Fuck Off
Sentenced – The Trooper

That’s all I can think of for now. And as for a new topic MH, how about cover versions that should be considered?

Would? – Opeth
Soldier of Fortune – Opeth
Fascination Street – Chimaira
Knockin’ on my Backdoor – Children of Bodom
Fucking Hostile – In Flames
Metallica – Whiskey In the Jar

Killswitch – Holy Diver
Machine Head – Battery
atreyu – you give love a bad name (sheerly because its excellent live)

those are my top 3 – and if you havent heard the Battery cover… go and listen now lol

Forbidden – 21st Century Schizoid Man
Entombed -God Of Thunder

Metallica – Whiskey in the Jar cover should be there.

Trivium’s Cover of Iron Maiden was pretty god damn awesome too.

sepultura – smoke on the water

brutal, quality solo, cracking cover

Do a disk of Black Metal and I will love you forever.

Crazy-Mushroomhead

Soulfly-Smoke On The Water
Machine Head-Message in a Bottle
Limp Bizkit-Welcome Home Sanitarium

how about greatest guitar riffs in metal as a new topic?

Vader- raining blood

i forgot Ektomorf’s cover of a Beatles song… so funny its actually good

[...] post: Now That’s What I Call… Cover Versions! (Metal Hammer) Published [...]

Sepultura – symptom of the universe
megadeth – paranoid
soulfly – under the sun

Is there a pattern here?

ghostbusters- xentrix
hanging on the telephone- acid reign
bohemian rhapsody- bad news
bring the noise- anthrax

Machine Head-Hallowed Be Thy Name. Immense. Bullet’s Cover of Creeping Death is immense. Band called Stomp 66 I know of done a pretty kick ass cover of Bodies by Drowning Pool

Pantera – Electric Funeral

The fact that Death’s “Painkiller” is included gives this compilation much credit! But, “Electric Funeral” is Pantera’s best cover and I’m a little pissed that there’s no Type O on there. They are like the kings of cover songs! I mean “Day Tripper”, “Evil Ways”, “Summer Breeze” for Christ’s sake, all great tracks. And Six Feet Under could have had at least two tracks on each disc. They’ve got two cover cd’s and plenty of other cover song glory in their catalog.

Limp Bizkit- Faith…..Hey the the backlash is over now surely?

Turisas – Rasputin (How could you guys miss out this one?? It’s ace!)

Burn in Hell – Dimmu Borgir
Iconoblast – Alghazanth

What? None of the Covers Iron Maiden did as B-sides? Their version of Communication Breakdown is ace.
Also, Turias’ cover of Rasputin is great live

Agree with Liam!!

Machine Head – Hallowed Be Thy Name

BMTH-Eyeless (hardly as good as original but its a good effort)

Children Of Bodom-Oops I Did It Again

Korn-Word up
Megadeath-Paranoid
Should have been on it
Glad Atreyu is on the list though.

Need some Blind Guardian in here.
Probably Mr. Sandman. or Surfin The USA

I ain’t supperstitious – Megadeth
Hittentit – OXL

10 Masked Men – Anything they do! Hilarious!
Cradle of Filth – Fear of the Dark.
Hammerfall – My Sharona!
Children Of Bodom – Somebody Put Something In My Drink
Turisas – Rasputin, can’t believe its not in the list!
Johnny Cash – Hurt. May be in reverse, but its just fucking awesome

Children of Bodom – Ghostriders In The Sky
Fu Manchu – Moving In Stereo
Fu Manchu – Godzilla
Chimaira – Disposable Heroes
Saint Vitus – Thirsty and Miserable
The Black Crowes – Hard To Handle
Municipal Waste – Insecurity (don’t think they ever recorded it but it slayed at Download ‘08. Excel’s original is class too)

what about “There Is Nothing New Under the Sun.” Coalesce’s EP of Zep covers, Black Dog is class

[...] we covered the world of heavy metal cover versions and today we bring you the very best in Nu-Metal! Without further delay, here is Now That’s [...]

machine head – hallowed be thy name
metallica – remember tommorrow
black tide – prowler
metallica – so what
megadeth – paranoid
motley crue – anarchy in the uk
skid row – children of the damned
hinder – thunderstruck

Oi what about
Motorhead – Whiplash
Monster Magnet – The Right Stuff

I think Vaders cover of Raining blood should of been included

Whoa, if your gonna put on a Marilyn Manson cover then it should be “Sweet Dreams” …not that dire pissy version of “Tainted Love”!

I know Cradle haven’t been that well received just lately and have, in my humble opinion, gone downhill since the days of Midian…but that was an awesome cover.

System of a Down – Snowblind of Black Sabbath

Skid Row – C’mon And Love Me of KISS

Thundercats, by Better Off Metal, Bitches
