The worst metal cover versions of all time?

[Mr Badguy]

First up I nominate the same song by two different bands.

"Anarchy in the UK" by Megadeth and Motley Crue.

Both totally piss poor.

"And then she kissed me" by Kiss.

What a crap way to finish an excellent album like "Love gun".

[BIG GOOSE]

Skyhooks' "Women In Uniform" by Iron Maiden.
IM just bludgeon the shit out of this and lose all the tongue in cheek humour of the thing.FUCKING AWFUL !!

[degüello]

Not really 'metal,' but Winger's Purple Haze is a travesty.

[nosuchluck]

yeah...its definitely the worst.
Warrant's cover of "We Will Rock You" is pretty funny.

[nosuchluck]

also the cover of "Light up the Sky" by Pinnick, Sheehan,Malmsteen and Colaiuta on the VH tribute album . not 'metal', but its quite awful.

[blueturk]

I know I'll hear it from the Metallica people in here, but they FUCKED UP Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey In The Jar".

[Last_Child]

Femi Gange's version of the Beatles song "Birthday"

Not quite Heavy metal more Had Rock--

(Femi Gange is a Norwegian band...It existed around the late 80's & till the middle of the 90's)

[Last_Child]

Ehe....Hard Rock instead of "Had Rock"

helter skelter by the CRUE fucking sucks. sorry dickwads, you cannot fake that kickass song...even though it's very well known.

You're insane. Well partly. Anarchy by Megadeth smokes! It'll melt your fucking speakers. Motley Crue version was a waste of recording tape.

You wanna talk bad covers, Marilyn Manson should be imprisoned for what he did to "Highway to Hell" off the Detroit Rock City soundtrack.

[Mr Badguy]

Oh I forgot Dread Zeppelin.

While half of their "Un-led-ed" album was a work of genius ("Heartbreaker hotel", "Immigrant song"), I defy anyone to sit through the absolutely shitty "Living loving maid" or "Black dog".

Their version of "Smokin' In The Boy's Room" sucked ass too.

I Didn't recognize the song until he started singing....

That cover is so Fucking Awful!

[Mr Badguy]

How about Kiss covering Alice Cooper`s "I`m eighteen" on their "Psycho circus" album, only they changed the title to "Dreamin`" and credited it to themselves?

Listen to them both and tell me I`m lying.

[loss of fools]

anarchy by megadeth fucking rules and i would have to agree with metallicas version of whisky being one of the worst covers. they fucked it up so much.
