Top 10 Cover Songs by Thrash Metal Bands
Diamond Head cover.
Thin Lizzy cover, although Thin Lizzy song was also a cover
Black Sabbath cover / Ozzy era.
That double bass drumming Havok added makes a whole lotta difference (play the sample).
Bob Seger cover. Awesome rendition, in my opinion.
Elton John cover. I never expected this combination to work. But it did. At least for me. I like Elton John, this song and the cover.
This cover is so cool. I love it.
Deep Purple cover. I love it.
Deep Purple cover. I love it, yeah! They even sped it up. And the screams are pretty good, too.
Queen cover - Metallica got it right: Stone Cold Crazy was the first proto-thrash metal song. Yup, Queen did it.
Thin Lizzy cover. The best song on Super Collider, LOL. And the best cover song by Megadeth (Megadeth and Slayer aren't very good at covers).
Black Sabbath cover / Dio era
Budgie cover
Wow, great song. Really fits the original mood while still changing the sound. Great.
My favorite The Beatles cover.
A medley that included 4 Rainbow songs (Dio era) but Metallica covered almost entirely only Kill The King, the fastest and most aggressive metal song of the 70s.
(the sample plays A Light In The Black, perhaps my fave Rainbow song. Metallica got it right, again)
Thin Lizzy cover. Very good.
This one is very very good. I think it's better than the original
Possibly the funniest cover on this list
Metallica did a very good job with this song in my opinion.
Thin Lizzy cover.
Thin Lizzy cover.
As you see, thrash metal bands love Thin Lizzy (Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Sodom, and some other thrash bands covered Thin Lizzy).
Deep Purple cover.
