[whilstmyguitardjentlyweep]

Don't know if many of you know who Tegan and Sara are, but this was pretty weird to me when I found out about it. It's a good cover, though, and it does the song justice.

 

[flaik]

It's weird because they made me thankful for the existence of Justin Beiber.

 

[Metal_Webb]

Slaughter of the Bluegrass:

 

[Baelzebeard]

Damn SoF, that Tori Amos/Slayer song gave me goosebumps. So creepy presented like that.

here's my contribution; originally a Dean Martin song.

 

[SilenceIsACrime]

^ Holy LOL that Amon Amarth one is preposterous!! But awesome all the same

 

[Don Vito]

Slaughter of the Bluegrass:

 

[SilenceIsACrime]

Here are my contributions!

I actually used to listen to this a bunch back in the day



When I first heard this I didn't realize it was a cover until I found myself singing along....



And some good ol' Zappa to top things off (his covers of Ring Of Fire and Stairway To Heaven are equally out there).

 

[guitareben]

No-one saw this coming (It's amazing though!!!)

 

[ilyti]

^ Best song on the new album, IMO!

I thought of a few others. Turisas does amazing cover songs.

Black Sabbath


Jethro Tull


and naturally....

 

[Force]

Looks like everybody has weird covered, so here's something really awesome.......

 

[wankerness]

That Tori Amos Slayer one was the first I thought of. That entire album is covers and some of the others are pretty out there too, especially "Happiness is a Warm Gun."

I'm a huge fan of the version Pat Metheny did this year of "Sound of Silence" on his picasso guitar (weird harp/guitar hybrid with something like 42 strings). It sounds amazing.
