cover songs

I'm not a HUGE fan of pop song covers. If I liked pop music, I would listen to pop music. But every once in a while, a cover comes out that just hits me. This is one of those times. Check out the awesome cover of Taylor Swift's song 'Blank Space' done by I Prevail.

Maynard J. Keenan's side-project Puscifer is no stranger to cover songs - they covered Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and Accept's "Balls to the Wall" on last year's "Donkey Punch the Night" E.P. With that in mind, it's no surprise to see Maynard's British Puscifer sidekick Carina Round step up with an beautiful cover of Duran Duran's "Come Undone" for the char

Not familiar with Steve ‘N’ Seagulls? Not surprising. The band from Finland is not exactly a household name yet, but that could change with their Hillbilly treatment of tunes like Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" and Dio's "Holy Diver"...

If Type O Negative had covered Katy Perry's "Dark Horse"...it might have sounded something like Anthony Vincent's version.  You might remember Vincent as the guy that did the video where he covered "Dark Horse" in 20 different styles.....

While we wait for Portishead to collectively “clear their schedules” and make time to record their new album, Beth Gibbons has kept busy by teasing a new solo LP and teaming up for the most unlikely collaborations. If you've ever heard Portishead, you know they're the farthest thing from Black Sabbath since...

That sound you hear is a sigh of relief.  A sigh of relief from parents worried that their offspring were doomed to fall into the lure of the pop music dreck of Miley Cyrus and Justin Beiber. We've seen Ohio music teacher Aaron O'Keefe's students absolutely kill on covers of tunes by Tool, Pantera, Ozzy, and others...

The Black Album. Metallica's eponymous 1991 album. A watershed moment in the band's career - an album that could be considered Metallica's "Greatest Hits."

You may have seen 16 year-old Jason Kertson showing off his vocal skills recently on "The Voice", but who knew he had guitar skills as well? Check out this video of Jason playing not one, but two, guitars (one for rhythm and percussion, one for lead) on a cover of Andy McKee's "Drifting":   Pretty amazing, huh? If...

I hate clowns. And not just a little. I REALLY hate clowns. Pennywise, Bozo, Corky the Clown, John Wayne Gacy. I would rather endure a battery acid enema than spend 30 seconds in the presence of a clown. Which is why, to my amazement, I find myself watching Puddles Pity Party videos over and over...

Just what you've been dreaming of - a chance to get under the covers with Lzzy Hale. Cover songs, that is. Lzzy and Halestorm have another set of cover tunes on the way - look for "ReAniMate 2.0" in stores and online October 14th. ReAniMate 2...

Daft Punk's song "Get Lucky," featuring Pharrell, is the last song we'd ever imagine would get a headbanging metal version. But it's happened, courtesy of guitarist Charlie Parra del Riego and vocalist PelleK.

This is the perfect way to relive those golden years back in the '90s before you hardened your heart and started listening exclusively to death metal. It's a metal guitar version of your 12-year-old self's favorite song -- 'Barbie Girl' by Scandinavian dance-pop group Aqua.
