Best Metal Songs by Non-Metal Artists
Made by Metallica, and it's such a great cover!
Yes its one of the first thrash metal song
This song from 1981 is 100% metal, everything is metal in it - from the riff to the beat and lyrics. The song was covered by Gamma Ray and Vader (death metal band).
My remix is based on how close to true metal the song is because first we have to make sure the song is metal and then to decide what is the best.
Metal = rock music based on classical with NO blues, funk, rap, electronic, Rock N Roll and similar elements. From Rock N Roll metal music takes only the "rock" part and doesn't use the "roll" part.
Blues inspired songs are NOT metal - they are hard rock, blues rock, heavy blues rock
This song is great power metal and more than 10 metal bands did covers.
This is closer to grunge than to metal - don't you hear an early Kurt Cobain/Nirvana in this song?
Obviously influenced by Deep Purple, this song even has a ripped off element from "Flight of the Rat" by Deep Purple but this is a metal song. "Set Me Free" was covered by Saxon.
Nope. Hard rock, all the way.
This is hard rock, just because they mention "Demons" doesn't mean it's metal.
Beatles are not metal they never were
This is jazz-blues fusion.
No, this isn't metal guys.
Also with a great guitar work (metal guitars for sure). Megadeth did a cover.
Not a Metal song
This isn't metal and the vocal style isn't metal either.
This is not metal at all.
