Wow! I'd rather listen to Judas Priest's cover of Johnny B. Goode all day long than listen to that again. That was horrific!

No kidding. That's atrocious.
Then again - Grave Digger is one of the most overrated bands in metal. Very bland band. Not sure why so many people go crazy over them. |

| Oooh yeah, that Grave Digger cover of "We Rock" is frickin' laughable. When I play the HOLY DIO album it's the only song that makes me reach for the "skip" button.

I never could get into them for some reason. I tried. They just never clicked with me I guess.
I think it's the vocals. |

Funny thing is Thats how I feel about David Bowie, I am not a fan of most of the covers he's done but his own stuff rules
now saying that....

| Pretty much any metal band that does a punk cover (especially The Ramone & Sex Pistols)
Case in point
G&R - The Spaghetti Incident
Metallica - Last Caress (Green Hell was allright)
Slayer - Undiputed Attitude
Although I do like Motorhead's version of "God Save The Queen", they get a pass |

| Since I just mentioned it in the Raven Discography Thread, how'bout their cover of "Gimme Some Lovin'?" Godawful atrocious!

I'm with Addy. I liked that GnR went that route instead of covering the old standards ("Oh boy, another Rolling Stones cover") Besides, this album tuned me into some punk bands that I knew nothing about and went looking for their stuff. Which is what all great covers albums should make you do.

| Maybe it's because I was never really a fan of Guns 'n Roses or cover albums to begin with. I have yet to hear a cover album I can listen to all the way through, except for maybe Garage Days and that was an EP (even with thier goofy rendition of Last Caress) |

I liked how they took a song from the 50s and made it sound modern, but there was some great covers |
