Top 10 Cover Songs of the 1990s by Metal Bands
Original songs don't have to be metal songs but the bands that made the covers must be metal bands/artists.There are two types of cover versions:
1) renditions that change the original significantly
2) renditions that don't change the original very much. I call these covers "tribute covers" because the new bands don't want to overshadow the originals. It's when new bands appreciate a song and don't think the original needs improvements. In a broader sense all covers are "tributes" but I hope you got my idea here.
Aerosmith masterpiece and rock classic was in good hands. Not many singers would attempt this song and even less would succeed. R.I.P. Dio. Yngwie did a great job, too.
Who doesn't like this great cover?
One of my all time favorite covers ever as it's a great cover of an already perfect song and Death gave it a new Death Metal twist and Chucks vocals here are amazing
This is actually one of my favorite cover songs of all-time.
One of Anthrax's best covers
My favorite Beatles cover of my favorite Beatles song. I also think that the double bass drumming they added to the instrumental part in the second half is awesome (5:25-end).
A great Deep Purple cover from 1991 (a tribute to the Speed Kings of the 70s - Deep Purple).
One of the best metal covers of pop songs.
A great Uriah Heep cover.
Deep Purple cover - there are several covers but I like this one the most.
The original was changed significantly to make it sound more "metal-ish". I like it.
