Snow Blind by The 77s

"Snowblind" by SABBATH?!? If so, I must hear it!

YUP. Both of those covers were on DROWNING WITH LAND IN SIGHT... excellently done. Mike Roe can reallly rock when required.

I Want It That Way by Fanmail (originally recorded by BSB)

Actually SnowBlind on that 77's disk is not the Sabbath tune - it's a 77's original written by Mike Roe and Mark Harmon. However, Nobody's Fault But Mine is AWESOME!

ooops on the Snowblind thing It has been a long time since I listenend to said disc.... But it is a cool song if I remember right

CSOTD - Trivium - Master Of Puppets

which, i must say, is a lot better than the way metallica is playing it these days .

no it isn't on their latest album. I believe it was added as a bonus track to the re-release of their Ascendancy album though.

The jaw-dropping cover song of the day:

"Stairway to Heaven" by FRANK ZAPPA AND THE BEST BAND YOU NEVER HEARD IN YOUR LIFE

(orig. by LED ZEPPELIN)

The friggin' HORN SECTION plays the majority of the guitar solo note-for-note! I saw them do it live in 1988, and I was just as floored then as I am right now!

Virginia Creeper doing Motley Crue's "Shout at the Devil"

"whipping post" by Frank Zappa, so i can't remember who did it, but who cares, Zappa pwns all.

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood- Place of Skulls (originally done by Uthanada hahaha JK though they covered it too)

Anorexia Spiritual - Crimson Thorn originally recorded by: living sacrifice

orig. is by the ALLMAN BROS and it is a great song to begin with, but Frank definitely kicked it up a notch. DT SEIZURE also covered it, and our version was a mix of the two. You can hear it on the MySpace page if interested: http://www.myspace.com/dtseizure

"The Ripper" performed by MERCYFUL FATE
(orig. by JUDAS PRIEST)

the green manalishi (with the two pronged crown) JUDAS PRIEST
(o.b.: fleetwood mac)

Stayin' Alive- LUCID (originally Bee Gees)

"King Kong" performed by THE RESIDENTS
(orig. by FRANK ZAPPA and the MOTHERS)

Queensryche - Scarborough Fair

Still one of my favorite cover songs, ever. They took the song in an unexpected, haunting direction, and Tate's vocals really shine.

"It's a Man's Man's Man's World" performed by THE RESIDENTS
(orig. by James Brown)

Sanctuary as performed by Deliverance, and originally done by Daniel Amos.

Our God Is A Consuming Fire- Place of Skulls (originally done by Third Day- I am laughing so hard as I wrte that)

black snake - mortification (originally recorded by Bloodgood)

Horrendous Disc - Deliverance - orginally recorded by DA

Here's a couple I have been greatly impressed with as of late:

(orig. by JOHNNY PAYCHECK)

THE MEATMEN - "How Soon is Now"
(orig. by THE SMITHS)

"Because the Night" performed by PATTI SMITH

"Blinded By the Light" performed by MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND
(orig. by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN)

"How Soon Is Now" performed by PARADISE LOST
(original by The Smiths)

I am the son
and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
just like everybody else does

I am the son
and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and the heir
of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
just like everybody else does

There's a club if you'd like to go
you could meet somebody who really loves you
so you go, and you stand on your own
and you leave on your own
and you go home, and you cry
and you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen "now"
well, when exactly do you mean?
see I've already waited too long
and all my hope is gone

You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
just like everybody else does

Hey Shawn, have you heard the version by THE MEATMEN?

Today:

"I Wanna Be Somebody" by SENTENCED
(original by W.A.S.P. )

Today's Cover for me is

Baker Street done by the Foo Fighters originally by Gerry Rafferty? I cant quite remember who did the original

"Shame On The Night" by SOLITUDE AETURNUS
(original by DIO)

Shame on the night
For places I've been
And what I've seen
For giving me the strangest dreams
But you never really know
just what they mean
So oh shame on the night

Shame on you
You've stolen the day
Snatched it away
But I saw the sky
An I never want to die
Now you know the reason why
Oh shame on the night

You don't care what you've done
So I think I'd better run

Shame on the sun
For the light you sold
I've lost my hold
On the magic flame
But now I know your name
Oh lord just go the
way you came again
Oh shame on the night

You don't care what you've done
So I know I'd better run

You don't care what you've done
Here I go I've got to run

Yep, that's the guy - great song! (he had another hit in the 70's with his song "Right Down the Line") Not sure how I feel about someone covering it though. Sometimes covers can kill the original vibe of the song, and that song had TONS. How's it sound, Addimus?

All outstanding covers!

I loved FNM's cover - you can totally tell that Jim Martin is an Iommi fan because he nailed every single guitar note and nuance in that song! Good to see you, Angel!

Trog's CSOTD:

"Thirsty and Miserable" by SAINT VITUS
(orig. by BLACK FLAG)

It really is outstanding. I'm nearly busting out of my skin at how...good Mike Patton's vocal skills are...I'm having a bit of a freak out listening to them for the past few days.

It's very good to be here. I need a sanctuary of sorts, a change of pace. You know the drill.

Ahh yes...indeed I do. You have come to the right place then!

Nevermore-Love Bites

I thought FNM really hit somehting great with their last album and then, they were no more.

Would this be the Def Lep song?
That sounds quite interesting if so...


I hear rumours here and there from my local sources that there may be something to them re-forming but I think it's the classic scenario of muy grande egos that killed it and may have been killing it all along.. Shame really...

p.s. 'no more' .... you're pretty 'pun'-ny
