Big D Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Surprised no-ones mentioned Fm - heard It Through The Grapevine or Beau Nasty - Love Potion #9 yet Never heard the Beau nasty version. The Tygers Of Pan Tang take on Love Potion#9 is prety good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a good pop tune and someone wants to add some nice heavy guitar to it, that's fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Mayhem Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I see no one's mentioned Riot's cover of the Cliff Richard song, "Devil Woman" (on their Born In America album), so I will. That turned out pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Mayhem Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Skin had quite a few good pop covers on the bonus disc that came with the limited edition version of their debut CD: Unbelievable (EMF) Dog eat dog (Adam Ant) Express yourself (Madonna) Pump it up (Elvis Costello) Hangin on the telephone (Blondie) Should I stay or should I go (The Clash) I would love to hear those! I have the "Unbelieveable" cover on their live Hasta la Vista album, and their Take Me Down To The River CD single has live covers of "Rock 'n' Roll" (Zeppelin), "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" (Van Halen), and "Rock Candy" (Montrose) which are all fantastic. Also, I thought Thunder's version of "Gimme Some Lovin'" (Spencer Davis) was really well done. They nail it live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Mayhem Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Heres some killer Hard Rock, and HEAVY METAL pop covers! . . . . Warmen - Black Cat (Janet Jackson) Call it a guilty pleasure, but I really liked Janet's original "Black Cat." Probably the only song of hers I can stomach because it's got Nuno Bettencourt rocking the riff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can't include anything that Atrocity may have done? 'The Sun Always Shines On TV', for example? I'd say go for it (as you already have ). If only the thread had been "Rock and Metal Covers of Pop Songs", as I love both. I'd love to hear a Death Metal version of 'Firestarter', that would be cool...

Reverend Mayhem Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 A few more that come to mind, courtesy of Mr. Russ Ballard: - Uriah Heep's version of "On The Rebound" (from the Abominog album) - Rainbow's cover of "Since You Been Gone" (from Down To Earth) I'd include Ace Frehley's cover of "New York Groove" (originally done by Ballard's band Hello), but I'm not sure even Ace's version counts as "hard rock," since it's only got a couple power chords in the chorus to qualify it.

Chris Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 How about Adrenaline Mob's version of Duran Duran's "Come Undone"? I think its pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
