‘We are golden’ by Mika. That would be epic.

‘Epic’ by Faith No More. That would be epic.

Blood Junkie – Lamb of God

Beat It – Michael Jackson ( Eddie’s solo was good, so would have to be careful not to ruin that)

Master Of Puppets – Metallica (Trivium did it, but I don’t kno if Bodom will do it justice, the solo’s would be cool, but no sure if Alexi’s vocals would suit it)

Cowboys From Hell – Pantera (Dimebag played it better than Alexi could)

Umbrella – Rihanna (Vanilla Sky covered it, This would be a complete transfermation

Don’t Stop Believin’ – Journey (They have done their fair share of Soft rock tunes and make it mazing, so this would be another successful cover to add to the list)

Pokerface – Lady Gaga (This would be interesting to do, all I’ll say Spears)

Take On Me – A-Ha (Alexi’s vocals would excel on this song)

Raining Blood – Slayer (Slayer have been covered already, but this would this would be an obvious choice)

I Kissed A Girl – Katy Perry (Attack Attack’s version was ok, but Bodom would be bteer to hear, more scream and slashing)

Poison – Alice Cooper (Classic tune would make an epic cover)

assimilate

they did umbrella at wacken last year

yeah guys theyve done umbrella already, it was orgasmic

House Of Fun – Madness
i think the name kind of says it all don’t you think?

AlexHarvey

They already did Journey at last years’ Download, and it was pretty damn epic. I have to say I am totally down with the ‘Jump’ cover :D

HahaHolocaust

I’d prefer them do Baggy Trousers than House of Fun :P

aqua – barbie girl :P

metalbeast

supercalafragalisticexbealadotious – mary poppins soundtrack???

nailman

they should do a concept album based around the movie twilight……
metal world dies, emo world rejoices…

Jughead

Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake

Bee_Gee

Agadoo… do do

puff the magic dragon all day long

OI EAMZO! Stop robbing me idea!!!!!

Pokeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer Face…YEAH!

Pyschosocial cover anyone?

crazy crazy nights / kiss

Stephen Wilkinson

There are only certain bands that could genuinely do justice to some songs, and im afraid that COB would butcher “dont stop believing” to death, along with a few others listed there. I dont look forward to my ears bleeding lol

ross – nope, not at all :L

Painkiller was already covered by Death, and Raining Blood was covered by Vader. And both of these covers were amazing, so Bodom should just leave ‘em alone. The other songs haven’t had a good cover yet, though, so CoB should go ahead and try them on for size.

People, I got it. The best idea for a CoB cover ever.

Surfaris – Wipeout.

Ernestogod

Painkiller – Judas Priest <-(SPECIALLY)
Master Of Puppets – Metallica
Cowboys From Hell – Pantera

I know I suggested this last time there was a similar news thread on here, but I feel it warrented a reminder:
Put A Donk On It

Jop (Hybridsoldier01)

I would love to hear them do some Megadeth, considering I see them as the new Megadeth, his screams sound like if Dave started screaming (in my opinion)

so a Megdeth cover would be amazing, since I have heard very little Megadeth covers.

and they should do an old Sepultera song.

@Jop. That was possibly the most annoying thing I’ve ever had the misfortune to set my eyes on! Even worse than the C***y F**g! Why would you subject us to it???

Diablo – You’re obviously dead inside, because Badgers is genius.

How about this? http://tinyurl.com/djly53

@Me. You DO realise this is METAL Hammers website and not one belonging to a shit animation accompanied by crappy dance music magazine, don’t you? To describe that shite as “genius” on a heavy metal magazines website is just embarassing. What are you, 12 years old??

Diablo – No, i’m actually 29 and I have what’s known as an open mind. Get a clue.

Dragonforce – Through the fire and flames

(dragonforce is kind of like c.o.b. so that would be interesting)

You should do a cover of: Ain’t Goin’ Down (‘Til The Sun Comes Up) by Garth Brooks. It would be hilarious! :)

COBHC!

\M/iss \M/etal

LOL @ Lady GaGa!! I would honastly love to hear that!!
