Needless to say, this is a thread dedicated to cover songs that you feel are better than the original, however good the original may be. Whether to showcase them or simply talk about them, this thread is that place.

As for me, I have seen a few I'd like to share.

Cover of the BABYMETAL song KARATE by the band Sellest Media:

Disturbed's highly popular rendition of SnG's The Sound of Silence:

And "Navarone Boo"'s piano rearrangement of Toby Fox's two songs Undertale and His Theme:

White Stripes cover of "Jolene" by Dolly Parton
A Perfect Circle cover of "Imagine" by John Lenon

"Jolene" by Dolly Parton

Miley Cyrus actually did a pretty good cover of that song.

5350346 Acmusic7, I'll Follow You Into The Dark:

And Thank you mate for doing this for the group!

5350557 Thanks for pinning the thread!

5350346 Hmm, I'd like to give a mention to this song. I cannot believe I'm saying this, as I'm a die-hard Skynyrd fan, but this version tops theirs.

(And on the subject of covers, go to 331Erock's channel on YouTube. He does some great metal covers of songs. Here's his version of Ace of Spades just for a example.)

5350609 Thank you for making the thread!

5350773 It's nothing.

But Korn was always a better band than Pink Floyd anyway, so who's surprised?

5351502 Personally, I hate both of them.

5350765 How about this acoustic remix of Suicide Silence's Doris?

5806906 I haven't listened to the original version, so I wouldn't have a opinion on this matter. Mind you, I do have a question. Which of these is better, the Tennessee Ernie Ford version or the version by the Man in Black himself, Johnny Cash. (Should say that both of these songs are covers, the original was made by Merle Travis in 1946.)

5806920 The Ernie Ford version because I hate Johnny.

5806929 How could you not like the Man in Black?

5806934 I don't like anything blues or country.

5806954 Then I pity you.

5806955 And I pity you for not liking metal. Trust me, you're missing out big time.

5806962 Never said I didn't like Metal. When did I say that? Hell, one of my favorite bands is Metallica.

5806964 Wait, I got you confused with HopeForTheFew. Sorry about that.

If we consider -core real metal, though (which I do), my point stands.

5806954 Oi! I resent that!

5807203 And I resent that you're not a __________ like me.

5807210 ... Fair enough...

5807228 See? It all evens out in the end.

5350346 Oh, I got a whole damn list here:

... I can keep going.
