Johnny Cash, "Hurt" (Nine Inch Nails)

The Rolling Stones, "Going To A Go-Go" (Smokey Robinson and the Miracles)

Rufus Wainwright, "Across the Universe" (The Beatles)

Billy Idol, "Mony Mony" (Tommy James and the Shondells)

[Viking Snad]

nonpoint does an amazing "In the Air Tonight".

[lildude8218]

Ace Frehley - New York Groove

KISS - God Gave Rock & Roll To You II

Sadly, a good majority of Dylan covers are better just because Bob is so damn hard to understand half the time.

[Mr. Mediocre]

Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower.

Really? Where he says "ride the pony"? Whatever...

I'll say "Secret Agent Man" by Devo.

[Drillbit Taylor]

Helter Skelter=Motley Crue

[EvilMasterBetty, Esq.]

Nonpoint and Alien Ant Farm as have been said.

Also, I like the Ataris "Boys of Summer" better than the original.

And I know I'm going to catch all kinds of hell for this one, but i like Limp Bizkit's "Behind Blue Eyes" better.

[Virt McGirt]

SOMEONE WHO SOUNDS REMARKABLY LIKE DAVE GROHL - Police and Thieves (It's from the RENO 911 movie, but you can't buy/download it due to legal reasons

[Johnny Danger (Godz)]

Johnny Cash's Hurt, and Zebrahead's Wannabe

[Mr. Mediocre]

Devo's Satisfaction.

Also anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

[MolotovMocktail]

Guns n' Roses-Knocking on Heaven's Door (Bob Dylan)
Jimi Hendrix-All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan)
Joe Cocker-With a Little Help from my Friends (The Beatles)

that version kicks ass.

[Ass Dan]

Rage Against the Machine's 'Renegades'

[A Magician Named SHAKE]

Marilyn Manson's cover of "Personal Jesus" gets my vote.

And I second Cash's version of "Hurt".






And Korn's "Word Up" **Runs out of thread**

[jamofpearls]

Pearl Jam's masters of war from bob dylan.

[Mr. Mediocre]

I'll definitely third Hurt.

And Manson's version of Personal Jesus is equal with Depeche Mode's in my mind.

[The Booty Disciple]

The Zoo - Bruce Dickinson (Originally recorded by the Scorpions)

Dickinson's voice just lends itself to that song...the air raid siren wail of his vibrato just absolutely makes that song for me.


Balls to the Wall - Fozzy (Originaly recorded by Accept)

I realize this is pretty much a verbatim cover, but my god...the volume and guitar tone, and Mongoose McQueen's ballsy vocals kick it up the extra notch for me...the proverbial "This one goes to eleven! Eleven is more!" kind of thing.


Helter Skelter - Motley Crue (Originally recorded by the Beatles)

My dislike for most of the Beatles' catalogue aside, Motley Crue have the attitude down pat for this kind of tune. The Beatles did it well, no doubts, but the Crue really kicked it's ass into the ground for that.

[The Thread Barbi]

Mad'house Like a Prayer (covering Madonna)

Looks better than the original too! (I'm in love)
