    Heathen’s cover of “Set Me Free” (Sweet)
    Overkill’s cover of “Hymn 43” (Jethro Tull)
    Sepultura’s cover of “Orgasmatron” (Motörhead)
    Death’s cover of “God of Thunder “ (KISS)
    Sanctuary’s cover of “White Rabbit “ (Jefferson Airplane)
    It’s not better than the original, but Wrathchild America does a fantastic cover of Pink Floyd’s “Time.”

    Man I disovered a really cool cover song after we did this video. A rad prog metal band out of Massachusetts called Wilderun did a super rad cover of Iron Maiden's "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son". Y'all should check it out if you like Maiden.

    Disturbed's covers of Land of Confusion(Genesis) and Sound of Silence(Simon and Garfunkel) are amazing, better than the originals in my personal opinion.

    Absolutely love when bands "metalize" 80s songs, my favourite.
    Also, nice Aephanemer shirt!

    Ansolute favorite would be Astronomy Domine by Voivod, originally by Pink Floyd. Runner up would be Easy by Faith No More, originally by The Commodores.

    Great vid guys. Speaking of your friends that aren't into metal (like me), are you guys into other music besides metal? Maybe you've answered this in another video if so sorry for asking again. 😆🤘🏻

    • @DarthGrimby
      @DarthGrimby Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks! Yeah man I've got pretty diverse tastes. I'd say I listen to metal 80% of the time. The rest is a mix of country, folk, rock, techno/electronica (or whatever that's called now), industrial, synthwave, a bit of punk and pop punk, and then 80s/90s pop music. Generally if a song has a cool bass line or a fast beat, I'm probably digging it.

    • @MetalbyteMedia
      @MetalbyteMedia  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks dude! 100% metal for me but on some days I run on 101% I can spin classic or hard rock, classical, jazz, synth pop, industrial, hip hop, R&B, country almost anything.

    NO WAY!!! I paused the video at 7:50 and noticed that they did a cover of a STONE song. LOL!! I know...I know...there's a connection between the bands.

    A couple of my favorites are Hammerfall's cover of "Ravenlord", although the original was really good too, and Judas Priest's "Green Manilishi" (the live version on Unleashed in the east). I agree that priest had some great covers but what do you think of their version of "Johnny B Goode"? Some people really like it but to me it's awful and nauseating, even though Priest are easily in my top 3 bands of all time.
