look out for
Devin Townsend band
noted albums :
Terria
Infinity
physicist (this one is very heavy)
synchestra (good mixture of rock n metal)
but if you like something more out there
strapping young lad
best thing about that band
the singer is a bit.... nutty

I've come to the conclusion Metallica were an Iron Maiden covers band who got lucky.........

A cover of Nothing Else Matters??
Do they carry it off??
-
That would need to be very very good..... It makes me cry when they murder that song on Karaoke in my local :evil:
-

Budgie / Diamondhead covers band.........
-
That was my point Jim-Willy, would 'like' to hear it, would have to be EXTREMELY good!!
-
I would like to hear that :D

Metallica are amazing. Long ago when I was at uni one of my house mate's got me into them - I still love them. My house mate is no longer with us having succumbed to cancer. I recently bought some metallica DVD's - it's great to see how the guys wrote songs such as those on the black album.
In spite of the fact that I'm about to turn 38, approx 1 year ago I bought an electric and started having lessons - inspired by you know who. Recently I've been learning the moshing from "one" and also ......."nothing else matters" - what a truly wonderful song. it gives me something to do when nobody wants to go out greenlaning.
Who was it who said that Metallica are just harder and faster with no melody??

I was wondering where your username came from ;)
The stereo in my landy is a little ipod shuffle, and its pretty much full of devin townsend and SYL right now :D
Dont forget ocean machine/biomech which is one of my favourites!

In reply to the original question - Yes I have heard it, but didn't know who it was and as it happens I was in quite a busy place. But from what I heard it was really really good. I too love Metallica, big fan of the 'Black' album, was glad to hear it wasn't butcherd, but made to sound very pleasant indeed.
-
Saw them Live at MK bowl the year I graduated from brunel (my little pressie to me) and the black album was still quite new. Nothing else matters lasted nearly half an hour, it was magic. James was off stage resting his voice so the guy just sat on the front of the stage near the pit and you could see him work the strings. 8)
Now I know they say impersonation is the best for of flattery but i generally don't have time for bands trying to get famous doing other people's stuff, write your own bl**dy song. If it sounds the same I think I'll stick with the original, if it doesn't it's a crime.
And Metalica sounds like Iron Maiden? what were you drinking at the time :shock:
-
metallica messed up after the black album
before the black they were pioneers
black they were pushing mainstream
now they are trying to recapture their originality but james wants to sing now! never a good idea ;)
tell you what though a much underrated band is the wildhearts
geordie's finest
listen to nita nitro and try not to headbang!
-
That was my point Jim-Willy, would 'like' to hear it, would have to be EXTREMELY good!!
its not a bad cover.. but it leans more toward the S+M version ie slightly more stringy and 'floaty'
and as for metallica being an Iron maiden clone.....erm no they actually started off playing british punk bands music...listen to they Garage days stuff...my favourite 'SO WHAT' wonderful !!
Black album is my favourite purely because it came out at a time in my life when every song seemed to be written about my life at that time..Nothing else matters is a seminal track that a few have tried to cover and failed. but i think Bif has a damn good stab at it, treat it not so much as a 'cover' but as more of a tribute and I think you'll appreciate it more..
if i can work out how i'll try and upload the track onto the site...if someone wants to have a go , mail me and i'll send you the Mp3..
ps if you do come across the album, check out LET DOWN.. track2 on the album..
I also didnt realise we had so many Metallica fans on the forum, always nice to get a music debate going just to see what every one is into..

done M.O.R. 3 times, 88 -89 -95.. excellent Metallica twice, even though in 95 we ha dtoleave early as babysitter had a cob on (my mother :sad: )
wanted to see Download this year as Metallica and GnR are playing.. but because of my back we arent able to go :cry:
so has anyone found the BIF version yet???
-
MOR may be worth it this year just for Ted Nugent :lol: :lol:
-
I saw the guy who did Monsters of Rock do the Meat Loaf Story.
I want tickets to Iron Maiden at the MEN in December, but I can't find an IM Fan with a car who wants to go :(bigcry):
-
speaking of metallica has anyone heard trivium's cover of master of puppets its good :D :D
-
Black album was (and still is) fantastic
I did MOR in 94 Aerosmith and 2 stages highlight was Biohazard? inviting the crowd onto the stage 15 seconds and about 100 security later their set ended
and heres my 2 peneth worth
Sweet Dreams and Tainted Love Marilyn Manson are fantastic

Dear oh dear oh dear :roll:
-
BURN THE WITCH
;)
-
you must admit though that st anger isnt their best effort, the drums sound like they were recorded using a cheap as chips drumkit and an empty room with no soundproofing.
trivum's cover of MOP is v good
but imho megadeth's cover of Paranoid is even better
esp when nick menza goes nuts at the end
-
Best cover ever???
has to be the Ramones 'Wonderful World'
classic
-
worst cover ever??
that stoooppid dancey version of Sweet chil' o mine by some dumb blonde and a guy with a keyboard!!!
:evil:
-
this thread has strayed somewhat from talking bout bif naked to cover tunes ;)
didnt sheryl crowe cover sweet child o mine?
im sure it was her
i also think the cover that limp bizkit did of welcome home on MTV Icon was vvv good as was Korn's verion of One.
-
or even Metallicas Whiskey in the Jar.. pretty good cover ;)
and I'm allowed to stray off thread - I started it :lol:
-
Best cover - Rod Stewart - Handbags and Gladrags
Worst - Madonna - American Pie.
-
seconded.. madonna killed it
although Black Label Society's cover of No More Tears is very good
considering zakk wylde plays on both and on the cover he makes sure the guitar sounds HEAVY! :)
-
Having followed the link and listened to (and seen) "Bif Naked" (yeah, right....) all I can say is 'why??????' - No discernible talent there, vocal or otherwise. :roll:
-
laydee from lacuna coil is fitter
as is amy lee ;)

Gordon Bennett, no competition there whatsoever: Cristina Scabbia and Amy Lee are both attractive (and talented) young laydees; that 'Biff Naked' is UUUUUG-LEEEE!!! (and BAD tats too!!)
In fact, looking again; are you sure B-N was born female? Looks like a T-S to me!
-
lol
the original bass player in White zombie was fit
as was the one in Coal Chamber
-
seconded.. madonna killed it
Finally someone agrees... Now not meaning to sound sexist, but American Pie needs a male voice behind it, Don McLean did it brilliantly, Madonna just took it, jammed it in a blender then ran it over, twice.

does look a little 'butch' especially when prancing around in high heels..she reminds me of another singer (female) just cant for the life of me think who tho'!!
-
Bestest band I've seen at MOR apart from AC/DC has probably got to be Def Leppard when they played one of their first shows with Rikk Allen back....
ZZ Top were not good
Aged Jeeper rambles on..... :lol:
-
nah i think you are right DL are very good entertainers
innovators of the "round" stage
i saw slayer supported by machine head in 1994 when MH were touring their new album (burn my eyes) and slayer toured with divine intervention
saw them in newport centre
top evening... esp since the original MH drummer's birthday was that day and they threw him into the crowd and threw beer over us
YES!
-
Best cover, hmmm, perhaps Metallica's Whisky in the Jar,
Worst cover, well Sissor Sisters did a version of Comfortably Numb which just sends me into shock...
-

Metallica's Stairway to Heaven was good, mainly because it sounded exactly like the the Zepplin version.

FINALLY FOUND A LINK TO THE VIDEO..
http://music.aol.com/artist/main.adp?artistid=169084
lookat that and it gives you the option to watch the video of Nothing Else Matters!
-
OMG she even rips...erm does a copy of TWISTED SISTER were not gonna take it!!!
:shock:
-

Oh no, no, no, no, no!!!
Scissor Sisters cover was BRILLIANT!! Unlike most note-for-note attempts at covers, they took a classic, arranged it totally differently and made a superb disco-handbag, camp-as-a-row-of-pink-tents pop song from it; it detracts nothing from the Floyd original and stands on its own as a piece of 'pop art'!!
-

LOL! But I'm worried that if I listen to it I'll be tempted to lower my disco by four inches, fit a giant spoiler, tint the windows, fit ridiculously low profile alloys, chop most of the exhaust off and spend my evenings cruising round supermarket carparks :oops:
