Top 10 Cover Songs by Rock and Metal Bands that Were Better Than the Original
The guitar solo was very good. Especially at the ending.
This is a bit complicated. Metallica did a cover of Thin Lizzy but it's not the original - it was also a cover, a rock cover of a folk song. The original is an Irish folk song.
Thin Lizzy did it so much better.
How did I forget this
Bob Dylan wasn't a very good singer but an excellent song writer and since Axl Rose is a good singer with a very high vocal range Guns N' Roses nailed this cover and made it better than the orginal
A lot better than the original, and probably my 2nd favorite Guns N' Roses song. They did a very good job with the cover.
I definitely agree - much much better than the original. Maybe this should be at #1 on this list.
I would say this is just as good as the Original I prefer the vocals here but I prefer the orginals instrumental if only you could put them two together
The original is very good and I know Blind Guardian have respect for Uriah Heep and their goal wasn't to show they are better than Uriah Heep. Nevertheless, Blind Guardian cover makes the song sound more modern, more powerful and of course, heavier.
I like this a lot better than the Genesis version
This is madness.
The Simon & Garfunkel one will always be better.
I think the original was better.
Elegant! Just amazing!
1. It isn't better than the Beatles version
2. It's even less heavy than the Beatles version
Pretty good cover but it's not better than the original.
