I really like You guys cover of Pantera's Slaughtered
🤘@@shredenvain7
So true. It was yeeears until I knew ‘Am I Evil’ was a cover. 😃
Honestly, Chimaira doing Disposable Heroes is INCREDIBLE.
❤
👊
I used to hate cover songs because I started playing out with bands in a town where you couldnt do originals because bar owners wouldn't hire you. I was, and am, really into writing my own material or co-writing with a band. A friend of mine with whom Ive played in bands a bunch of times started about 2 years ago recording cover songs where he'd do all the vocals himself, which then extended to production and arrangement. He started running his new releases by me to see if I caught any problems before he released stuff.
This naturally turned into acollaboration where i started adding guitar solos and sporadic vocal tracks...and we do covers (some originals though) and i enjoy the hell out of it! We do the songs our own way, sometimes adding parts, changing the vibe here and there, kinda like how Van Halen made every cover they ever did into a Van Halen song. Its great fun, especially when we arent forced to do covers to get gigs, we just do em cause they're fun. I think probably our best cover is a really bent version of a Danzig tune that as far as I know only appeared as part of the soundtrack to a movie, _The Hangover._ It's only a couple lines, "IT'S GON RAIN, DOWN LIKE BLACK HELL..."
Man we turned that into a monster track that you can scare little kids with😂. Tremendous fun had by all lol.
I used to have no clue that Blue Monday was originally by New Order, I’ve always enjoyed Orgy’s cover of that song
Slayers Dissident Aggressor.. for 20 had no idea that was Judas Priest.
Glad you mentioned The Hunt. It’s parallel for me is Dog Day Sunrise by Fear Factory on Demanufacture. The parallel is that I saw in the CD liner notes that those songs were written by other people then immediately forgot for several years. Fear Factory have done a lot of covers actually. I wonder how many people bought Obsolete expecting it to sound like their cover of Cars? They also covered U2 and Nirvana.
Speaking of Fear factory. I loved it when Burton formed city of fire. On there first they covered a song by The cult with the song Rain. Burton sung it very well.
@@619dar I haven’t heard of City of Fire, so I’ll be checking that out later today, thanks!
@@Super_Lowcrian Your welcome. City of fire did two albums. Both with Burton.
Those covers by ff are all great
Covers are fun if they're done well. Like the album "the Anatomy of" by Between the Buried and Me...
Also, first time i heard "animal magnetism" was from Testament, then i heard the original version by the Scorpions and thought it was awful lol.
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan)
Aretha Franklin - Respect (Ottis Redding)
Sinead O’Connor - Nothing Compares to You (Prince)
Enigma (feat. Sarah Brightman) - Eden (Hooverphonic)
Chimaira - Clayden (Matt Devries’ old band)
For years i had no idea that Watchtower was a cover. He really made that song his own.
@@iamgribs 100% Have you heard Frank Marino’s version? It’s just as good as Hendrix.
@@DizzyDez613 i have not, need to hear it
@@iamgribs ua-cam.com/video/SjAk4PeRX9c/v-deo.htmlsi=dtbfeVVDQ9w_YIUh
Yes covered a song called America, as a nerdy metal guy: I love old prog…. Didn’t know this was a cover song, and it’s so much better than the original Simon and Garfunkel version
2 songs I was surprised to learn were covers.
1) Judas Priest- "The Green Manalishi". The Original was done by Fleetwood Mac in the Peter Green era
2) Tesla- Little Suzi. The original song was done by a British new wave group Ph.D.
Now you know…the rest of the story,” … Good day.
Devildriver is amazing at making covers their own. Sail and Black Soul Choir are killer songs and I didn’t know they were covers for awhile.
Be cool Dez threw in a DANZIG cover
I had the same with Metallica & Sepultura, their covers of 'So What', 'Last Caress', 'Orgasmatron', 'Symptom of the Universe' and 'The Hunt'. Back then I had no clue these were covers
Disposable Heroes was great, but I kind of dig the other covers Chimaira did as well. I remember the cover of "Balls to the Wall" you guys did for the ECW CD (which was released two months after the company was dead, oddly enough) which was fun! The "Wild Thing" cover was also pretty fun, almost turning it into a sludge/doom kind of song.
I remember hearing "crazy" by mushroomhead when I was thirteen or fourteen. Fast forward to 18 and I was working at a grocery store that played a cheesy pop Sirius radio station and it took me almost a month of hearing the original two or three times a day before I figured out why it sounded so familiar. I tend to like covers like that where a band takes a genre you wouldn't expect and for the most part write the sing from scratch to make it their own. Raunchys cover of there's somebody watching me is another that comes to mind. Every now and then though I'll hear a metal cover of a metal song that's done just right to where it respects the original without just sounding like the a boring recording of the same song note for note by a different band. Killswitch's holy diver, and shadows fall's bark at the moon for example.
I don't know if you're an Entombed fan, but they released a compilation album called Sons of Satan Praise the Lord that contains only cover songs, some of them are actually (in my opinion) better than the original version such as Night of the Vampire (Roky Erickson), Tear It Loose (Twisted Sister), Bursting Out (Venom) and the amazing Albino Fogged in Black (Stillborn). You should check that out!
Same here for me with The Hunt. I legit thought it was a Seps song, until my buddy pointed it out in the inner sleeve 🤣🤣🤣
Man, me too!.
Sep has some great covers! The Hunt, Orgasmatron, Symptoms of the Universe, Policia. and yes, I heard those before I heard all the o.g. versions and I do like the way Sep does it best!
Oh also, I had an old Sepultura record back in the day where they did Symptom if the Universe. I didnt know that was BS at the time. Loved it
Also my mother really likes that you guys covered the cure she loves that band and so do i
Interesting topic here. One of my favorite things to hear is a band i like doing a cover of a band i like as well.
I think Slaughtered and Disposable heroes are great, and Hunter has great performances in particular. His demented howling really suits the song and its lyrics.
Machine head has some good ones. Exodus, Fear factory as well. I will say, the GOAT cover, is Death's Painkiller, which is outrageously entertaining. I love Priest, and this cover is the last song on Death's last album. It's like a crowd-pleasing encore!!
Great narrative, always a pleasure
Thanks bro!
Sometimes the cover is better than the original answer some are equally good.
The Man Who Sold The World and Where did you Sleep last night are The Best Nirvana Covers of all time.
Planet Caravan by Pantera was the first cover I remember hearing and having no fucking clue it was a cover. Heard the original Sabbath tune, and was completely unimpressed.
My favorite cover is your cover of Walking on Broken Glass by Anne Lennox. 😆 No joke, I listened to that like a hundred times and had conversations about whether or not it was a cover. 😂
🤘🤣
I always preferred their cover of Bjork's song Army Of Me lol
One cover that came from left field was Tourniquet played by Evanescence.
It was originally done by the original drummers band Soul Embraced. The original is brutal, completely different from the more conventional rock version Evanescence released.
If you hear the frayed ends of sanity and am i evil, you hesr similar riffs structured in the verses.
A curve ball, if you hear nothing remains by Chimaira in the verse riff you hear the dyers eve riff in the verses. I love the influence and structure
It's funny because i played that song on bass today and didn't notice. It is kind of like Dyers eve.
I think the riff that leads to the solo sounds a lot like a riff in Disposable heroes, the one near the end that is harmonized.
I completely understand when you say "THE HUNT" makes you feel a way that you can't put into words (I can name songs that give me goose gumps and instantly turn me into the same young teenager who first heard those tracks for the first time). I think The Hunt sat perfectly on CHAOS A.D. (1993). The entire record is outstanding. If I had to pick one Sepultura record I'd have to choose CHAOS A.D. Also as a huge Death Metal and of course Morbid Angel fan I'm looking forward to hearing you play Dominate with a great band. The entire song from start to finish is ultra demanding with no room for error. The guitar solo is definitely one of Trey Azagathoth's standout leads. Once again I'm really looking forward to how the entire band and you interpret the song with your guitar tone, texture and musical approach!
Can't wait for you to hear it too bro! Ands Chaos is also my favorite Sepultura album!🤘
Morbid Angel cover? Dominate? You're take on Trey's solo? Yes please!!!! Can't wait for more stuff. Hell yeah Professor. Heavy Metal Over Everything
the Dominate solo is played by Eric Rutan ;)
Incorrect! While Rutan is a legend, it's a Trey solo. Watch some videos from '95 and you'll see!
I've been Jamming Decrepit Birth: Axis Mundi.
That album is 🤘🤘 and Desecate the Faith III 🤘🤘
My formative years were in the 80s, so of course I love metal and pop from the 80's, and I especially love it when metal bands do covers of 80s pop, one of my all time favorite that I love so much more than the original is Mnemic's cover of Duran Duran's "Wild Boys".
Thanks for another cool video Rob!
Cant wait to hear Dominate! Thats hands down the best MA album.
🤘
My buddys and I used to pass out to that record after literally binging and purging when we were 13-14 yrs old. Lol
It definitely rules!🤘@@thehaunted1
Right there with ya on hardly ever listening to the original.
The one that got me was Meantime
I got that cannibal cd. Some sepultura tunes are by jello biafra, ministry did some covers I think.
Personally my favorite cover that I didn't know was a cover for a long time is "the Badge" by Pantera. Pantera knocked every cover they did out of the park.
Just subscribed! Awesome channel!!! You have a Rodney Mullen vibe and I dig the heck outta ya for it!!! Cheers
Ha! That's awesome man! I've always been a big Rob Dyrdek/Alien Workshop fan myself! Welcome aboard! 🤘🛹🎸
Evergreen Terrace has Sunday bloody Sunday and the Kids aren't alright covers they are really good
dude you should read chimaira lyrics in a wing back leather chair in a dark lit room out of an old big book like a book of the dead leather kinda book, and call it story time with Rob hahah. seriously though man you have a deadly voice for this kinda platform! Keep up the videos man ! Love from Canada \m/ - _ - \m/
Haha I'll consider it! 👊
@@RobArnoldWorldDo it!
Love, also from Canada 🇨🇦
Cheers to Canada!@@DizzyDez613
Almost always I prefer the first version I heard, regardless whether it’s a cover or not.
I'm one of those guys that didn't know fascination street was a cover. Totally dig y'all's more than the original I need this new wretched pain album in my life so bad
Right on Chris! Can't wait for you to hear it either bro! And everyone on Patreon like yourself, will hear it FIRST! 🤘
I honestly had no clue that Clayden and Malignant from the self titled bonus disk were covers until a few years ago! Always figured the were just extra songs that didn't make the cut for the album.
Favorite cover songs are Disturbed version of Land of Confusion and Metallicas Whiskey in the Jar, love that they always make the effort to play that one here in Ireland!
Worst covers would be some of the stuff from the Kerrang albums for Iron Maiden and Metallica won't name any names but I will say Chimaira, Machine Head, Trivium and Bullet all nailed their versions! Ans Fightstars version of Hallowed Be Thy Name is amazing, check it out if you never have!
Side question, was Chimaira approached by Kerrang about the Maiden album? It was about 2 years after the Master of Puppets one.
Manson's "sweet dreams Nirvana's man who sold the world and rage against the machines renegades of funk
I think the only cover I prefer to the original song is Meridian Dawn - Pagan Poetry, which is from Björk originally. The cover is incredible !
Whole lotta great points here.... definitely about Metallica's key changes . First time I saw them (1994) and they opened with Breadfan, I knew it as the song at the end of the Live Sh*t Seattle video.
Playing along to Disposable Heroes, and playing it from start to finish as a full band, are entirely different ballgames. My old Metallica cover band did that one, ... it's a workout for sure
Opening with Breadfan... That's awesome! 🤘
You forgot about the Chimaira cover Army of me, that song fucking rips!
That's not a cover! It's an original.
@RobArnoldWorld Sorry dude, for years I had myself convinced that it was a cover of a Bjork song. Still my favorite song on the album!
No harm done!@@aaronvalere3832
Rob you've to check out Fleshwater - Enjoy (Björk Cover). It's awesome!
You know what band was really tricky about a couple covers they did? This metal band from Cleveland called Chimaira. I didn't know for well over a decade that the two bonus tracks from their self-titled SE album, titled 'Clayden' and 'Malignant', were cover songs from a local band they came up with. Very sneaky!
Good call bro! I'd say most people don't know those tunes are Ascension songs! 🤘
I'm similar. Timber is the key for me & its usually the vocalist. Like, I've heard thousands of Dio covers but the only 2 I like are from Killswitch Engaged & Stone Sour. Most of the covers I hear are like Peter Steele trying to sing the high C in Mariah Carey or AC/DC songs or Bon Scott trying to sing the chorus of Christian Woman
I'm with ya on 'The Hunt'... it's very different and has a feel like nothing else. Love it.
There's tons of covers I like better than the originals, though. All but a few of the songs Metallica has covered, for instance lol. (Was writing this out as you mentioned them lol)
Also, pretty much all of GNRs 'Spaghetti Incident' album, especially 'Ain't It Fun'.
Maybe in the minority on this one... but I prefer Motley Crue's 'Anarchy in the UK' to the original too.
Dude are you doing any voice acting or voice over work?
Just realized while watching this how calming and chill your voice is.
I appreciate that bro! I'd LOVE to do voice over work. However, I don't have any connections... so no.
What was your thoughts on the Chimaira cover you guys did of balls to the wall?
Funny story... That cover was for an ECW soundtrack we were selected to be a part of, and we were given a list of songs that we could choose from to cover. We were told all the bands on the soundtrack would be choosing a cover. We (reluctantly) chose Balls To The Wall, because it seemed like the lesser of many evils. I don't think we liked any of the choices. But we went ahead with it. Turns out, almost none of the other bands ended up following the rules, and they went ahead with their own original songs instead. 🤣
Anyway, I've never been a fan of the song... the original, or the Chimaira version.
I understand what you are saying. Thats one of the things I liked most about Chimaira's cover of Disposable Heroes on the MoP covers album. It was as true to form as it can get whereas some of the bands did some whack takes. I like cover songs, but I like them done as true as possible instead of experimenters.
100%!
Dude, fascination Street is a cover!!? OF THE CURE!!? 😂 wow! Had no idea!
Wicked game covered by stone sour sung by Corey Taylor just hits the emotions man I recommend it
For the longest time I thought Fear Factory did Cars. haha Then I got into Gary Numan and found out it was his. Cant beat to OG, but they did it better. Same with Foo FIghters and Mansons cover of Down in the Part. just a darker vibes that suits it alittle better.
Hey Rob don't feel bad it's your opinion and everybody is entitled to one great content love your videos also was wondering what you use for your current rig playing live I was thinking of getting the 65052 I do have the mini but there's so much out there as far as modeling goes also what's your opinion on that thank you
Thanks dude- please check out these three vids in order. You can see what I used at Chimaira's shows last summer, some additions I've made, and what I'll be using at this years summer shows. 🤘

@@RobArnoldWorld I've seen all these videos before but I had to check them out again so you're actually using a tow Master Pro you recommend that for metal tones I also have a power stage maybe I should grab one
Ahh man it's a tough call... I will never advise against going with a 6505 like you're considering! But if you're looking for a modeler/multi-FX unit, then I recommend giving the TMP a try! (I haven't tried any of the other current units like the helix or quad cortex fyi). @@gravelrocks5588
Speaking of cover songs and not knowing if it was done by the band. One song that I was sure it was done by the band and that is a song called easy living on the WASP album inside the electric circus. I only found out a few years ago that song was done by Uriah heep. And another song I was sure that it was by the band. Was Women in uniform by Iron maiden. Not sure who sung that song, but it wasn't Iron maiden. Maiden back in the 80's was well known for covering songs when ever they put out a 7" single from there up and coming new album. So many other bands have done the same like Testament when they did nobody's fault.
I knew Zombie Eaters was a Faith No More song, but I think the Ill Niño version with Chino from Deftones is better.
I remember hearing Turn the Page by Bob Seger one summer in Michigan as a kid. Then Metallica covered it and was blown away. I prefer the Metallica version.
Took me longer than I'd like to admit to find out that Anthrax's "Antisocial" was a cover
this is so cool! i was mega shocked that a lot of the metallica songs were the bands they were. like its electric haah !
Definitely bro! I just took a minute to revisit It's Electric... Can't remember ever hearing it before! I think Metallica is an example of when it's sometime's best NOT to take a look behind the curtain... Their covers are just SO good, why would you want to hear anything else!? 🤘
Dude I get what you mean. I never knew that "Land of Confusion" was originally by Genesis. So after I fell in love with the Disturbed cover, I could never enjoy the original.
When Chimaira came out with the Army of Me, I thought it's a cover version of Bjork. Nevertheless, that song is awesome. However, the Caliban cover version of Bjork - Army of Me is good, too.
Great segment, my man. I literally agree with you 99.9% of the time and continue to learn lots from you. THAT SAID, while I love Can Halen and love their Pretty Woman cover, Roy Orbison’s original was the tits.
No shame in that! 🎸
Only song I can think of that I didn’t realise was a cover was when Venom covered Megalomaniac (Sabbath). All too often covers are just not good. People love Priest’s version of Diamonds and Rust, but it’s not a patch on the original by Joan Baez. Faith No More’s cover of Easy… why? They did absolutely nothing new with it.
In 1987 thru 88 I was a Junior in high School. On the Journalism staff I was in charge of sports and entertainerment. I did a review of Metallica's Garage Days Ep and wrote that "Metallica was breaking new ground with revolutionary new material" and even Quoted lyrics from one of the songs saying that "James was changing how metal would be perceived by others with unique and challenging vocal lines." Years later I was made aware that Garage Days was a complete cover album to hold us over until And Justice would come out.
Haha my point exemplified! And no harm done bro! You were simply loving the music.
Stone Sour has some good Covers too.
Hammerfall "Back To Back" was unknown to me, the original by Pretty Maids is damn good, but I actually prefer the solo in Hammerfall version
Daath just did a sweet morbid cover.
Abbath did pretty cool covers of Motorhead. And I thought that "the Hunt" is Sepultura's song too.
Bömbers is a pretty sick tribute band
I think Cannibal Corpse’s version of No Remorse blows the original Metaillca version out of the water.
They’re tuned so low it makes the original sound like it was played by The Chipmunks, lol.
Have you heard of Power trip buddy? If not, nightmare logic! ;)
I actually love a fun cover song. Nothing like a good dive bar band shredding up some Twisted Sister 😂
I remember hearing breadfan by budgie, the original artist, am I evil, and many others metallica I find out covered latet on in life. I'll admit I was bummed metallica ripped off other bands, but I still rock the crap out of those metallica versions, cheers!
Ha! I started this video, commented and went into the kitchen to make an affogato, 5 mins later you're taking about breadfan and am I evil haha!
Haha right on! Just had to look up what affogato was... I'll take one please!
Funny thing about 'Am I Evil?'
Diamond Records the song first, MetallicA covers it, then Diamond Head re-records the song again, and then Diamond Head does a cover of MetallicA's 'No Remorse'. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I've always enjoyed MetallicA's covers, that whole 'Garage Days Re-Revisited' EP is something FIERCE.
I have checked out Budgie's 'Breadfan' and I gotta say it's really groovy 🤘
Personally I love cover songs, I think they're fun. It's a fun way for a band and/or musician to pay a little tribute to their influences; at least that's how I see it.
Trivium & Bullt For My Valentine did some great MetallicA covers (BFMV does a GREAT cover of Creeping Death)
Chimaira KILLED Disposable Heros 😉🤘 And Fascination Street is super fun to listen to all the time.
When I first heard Disturbed's cover of 'Land of Confusion' I had no idea it was a cover, but my mom pointed out that it was originally written by Genesis 😂 so that was some education for me.
As I said I think covers are fun, I generally prefer the original song over the cover but I don't see a reason why I can't like both.
That being said...there are some TERRIBLE covers out there...
But in my experience, if I hear a cover song, I want to hear the original; that opens up opportunities to learn about a new band that i can enjoy.
In flames also covered land of confusion on the trigger or cloud connected single (or maybe it was an EP). I really like the original recording as well.
Interesting about DH re-recording it! I think I heard once that DH all live comfortably off royalties they receive JUST from Metallica's Am I Evil cover! Crazy!
The no remorse cover is badass
I totally agree with you on Breadfan from Metallica. It's still one of my all time favorites. But the first album i didn't realize that had a few cover songs on it was Led Zeppelin I. I'm aging myself I know.
Fear Factory Dog day Sunrise and honestly at the moment cant think of who did the original. lol
Elvis recorded something like 796 songs in his life and didn't write a single one...😂😂😂
I love playing originals but I've gotten to where I really enjoy playing certain covers
Interesting!
🤣 That’s crazy people didn’t realize fascination street was a cover song. I guess I didn’t realize how niche The Cure is. I happen to love both versions equally. That’s pretty rare.
I had the same experience with the hunt ! The hunt was my favorite song off chaos ad as a kid . Their version just rules . Also Metallica are the kings of making covers sound like their own ! Stone cold crazy rips . The queen version is awesome also but Metallica has that magic
I couldn't agree more! I love Stone Cold Crazy! Especially the solo! 🎸
ROB! ...waaayyy off topic here. So speaking of Metallica ... just curious, how many Ride The Lightning shirts have you gone thru?
It was almost like a signature look for you back in the day in photos and on stage etc.
First time I saw Chimaira (in Rome, GA of all places) during P.O.O.E. era, you had one on haha
Yo Brandon! So back in the day, I had at least three of them with me on the road that I'd cycle through night after night. I also snuck a Kill em' All and a Metal Up Your Ass shirt in there here and there! A couple of my Lightening shirts got stolen over the years! I tell the stories in an episode of Everything You Love if you're interested! 🤘 ua-cam.com/video/B4jUUUk--hk/v-deo.html
@@RobArnoldWorld Cool, I'll check it out, THANKS!
PS been cycling thru THE ELITE stuff. Killer stuff man!
Great riffs and SONGS as a whole!
Shared it with a few buddies who dug it as well.
That's awesome! Very happy to hear you're digging The Elite!🙌 And thanks for sharing it with your buds!🤘@@BrandonKJohnson
fear factory- 0-0 where evil dwells is a cover song originally by wiseblood
another one is shadows fall- welcome to the machine (Pink Floyd)
The faceless- shake the disease (depeche mode)
The last 2 songs that you mentioned are awesome.
@@sheridankamal they truly are indeed
@sheridankamal Which ones?
@RobArnoldWorld shake the disease and welcome to the machine
The Faceless cover, which I least expected, because most of the heavy band always covered Enjoy The Silence.
I have owned both Pass Out of Existence and Disintegration for 20+ years and never made the connection that it's a cover of the The Cure song haha.
Haha yep!
Breadfan! I had no idea Breadfan was by some obscure group named Budgie. Metallica's version kills.
Bruh. Listen to Machine Heads cover of Battery again. Just as good if not better than the original.
So I used to work at whole foods, and a lot of “Dad Bands” came on the radio - Genesis’ Land of Confusion played one day, I was vibing
Pass my manager in the back, who’s also a metalhead - “Dude, did you hear them just play Disturbed? What the fuck?!?”
Breaking his heart was hilarious
🤘🤣
I laughed when I first heard the Cannibal Corpse version of Zero The Hero - death metal vocals always make me laugh, but especially when it's a cover from a band that has a singer who can actually sing.
Haha no doubt. I'm assuming you checked out some of SFU's Graveyard Classic albums? They're super cool!
@@RobArnoldWorld
Yes. I think it was the first one - my former drummer had it. Their Scorpions cover really cracked me up 😄
Back in the early 90s it was war pigs cover by FNM. Always thought it was their song and found out it was sabbath from a friend later on. Pantera’s planet caravan cover also better than the original imo.
🤘🏼🤘🏼
I totally agree about Planet Caravan! One of my favs!
WIIIILDDD THANNG
You seriously didn't know that Zero The Hero was a Sabbath song? Wow. Lol I first heard the Born Again album shortly after it was released.
Keep in mind I was like 11 or 12 years old when I heard it, and as I said, I almost certainly didn't even know what a cover song was at that time! 🤣
@RobArnoldWorld
Right on. I was 13 and my mom and I had previously lived with her friends who owned a rock booking/management agency and prior to that my stepdad had played in cover bands, so I was fully aware of that scene.
What if you live in a small area and any time someone trys to start a new band the bands that are already here do everything they can to sabotage you. Get your shows canceled and rhen remake your exact same show with the same niche and pricing and date. They act genuine to
You when you try to include them on the show you did all the legwork for them go behind your back and just get the show canceled just by talking trash and just remake the show and take it.. and I’m just trying to use my preamps xlr ya know… it’s tough bro…just feel disappointed why even keep learning songs if I never get a chance to play them 😞
I suppose you've got to try and rise above it! It may be easier said than done, but it's a survival of the fittest world out there!
Wait! Fascination Street isn't an original Chimaira tune?!
Just checked the original out for the first and last time
Doing a general cover is whatever BUT I think coming up with a cover version so different and better than the original takes almost as much skill as to write an original
"Just checked the original out for the first and last time" 🤘🤣
@@RobArnoldWorld 😄🤘🏻
Half of Anthrax’s big tunes are covers, and I heard all of their versions first and prefer em to most of the originals.
HELP!! .... WHAT SONG IS PLAYING AT THE VERY END OF THE VIDEO AS ITS CLOSING ?!?!?!?!?!?!?
WOW!!
I'm glad you asked! It's "Gun To Your Head" by my band, The Elite! Check it out! ua-cam.com/video/z2MSbsHtJtU/v-deo.html
@@RobArnoldWorld Geeze what a track!! Rob man how do you do it! Truly BLESSED with a creative mind and physical ability!!!
🙏👊🤘@@BrandonKJohnson
Sooo I heard "Disposable Heroes" from Chimaira first not realising it was actually a Metallica song, How i dont know...Then heard the orignal by Metallica and in my opinion Chimaira did it better :)
Wow! 🤘
I will get grilled for this, but I like Trivium's Master of Puppets more than Metallica's
In my opinion, Metallica is one of those bands that does covers and makes them better.
Agreed!
