YouTube - The Dillinger Escape Plan with Mike Patton [Irony Is A Dead Scene] 04. Come To Daddy

DEP covered Aphex Twin's Come to daddy. I think they did a good job covering it from converting it to instruments

And with Mike Patton too adding a just plain creepy factor. He's an odd dude.

[Moridam]

That whole EP is gold, DEP's best to my ears and easily one of my favorite Patton releases outside of FNM/Bungle.

[Day]

I can't find a youtube of phish doing Freebird acapella to prove you wrong.

I've heard it and while I love phish, I still stand by my original statement.

[Davricle]

YouTube - a day to remember over my head music video Ignore the stupid video, its A Day to Remember covering Over My Head (The Fray)

[Firedemon]

Forgot about this cover....the metal version of Baby Got Back, by Throwdown. I think it's pretty good haha.

YouTube - THROWDOWN - Baby Got back

[Furionstormrage]

Wow some really good covers, I love this thread!

Reel Big Fish covers Operation Ivy's "Unity"

Dropkick Murphy covers Stiff Little Finger's "Nobody's Hero"

Seether covers Nirvana's "Something In The Way"

Seether does a lot of Nirvana covers, and I think the singer can sound hauntingly like Kurt Cobain at times.

[SchuldigGER]

Sea of Teachery - Misery buines

[Amarok]

Forgot about this cover....the metal version of Baby Got Back, by Throwdown. I think it's pretty good haha.

[Sqwunk]

Woah, I didn't know Snowblind was a cover...

They also did a cover of Goodbye Blue Sky, by Pink Floyd, which I think was pretty good, and also, which was only done live, they did a small portion of a Scorpions song.

I'm at school so I can't actually listen to the video so I'm not sure if any of these are good quality videos.

YouTube - System of A Down - Toxicity + Goodbye Blue Sky [Live]

I can't seem to find the other one right now. It's during the Big Day Out concert I think, and it's played directly after Prison Song.

I'll try to find it later tonight, and I will also check out some of the videos you posted Epical. I'm interested in hearing the Paramore song, didn't know they did that one. The August Burns Red - Carol of the Bells one is from the Christmas X album, there's lots of Christmas songs that are covered by alternative bands. But that one is probably my favorite on that album.

[Mansin]

YouTube - Between the Buried and Me - Bicycle Race (Queen Cover)

This one is pretty rad too. The whole Anatomy Of CD is pretty good covers as well.
