cover songs

(We Never Said 'The Best')

There's some controversial picks here.

There are lots of Metallica covers out there. But have you ever heard a Metallica song go all medieval on everyone's asses? Well. Stary Olsa, a band from Minsk, Belarus, is a neo-medieval folk band who recently covered Metallica's "One" on a show called “Legends Live”.

Well, here's something you don't see every day (unless you follow this guy around, in which case, move along ... move along). It's a man with a mohawk playing "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC on bagpipes that shoot flames. He also dances a bit. And he's wearing a leather kilt...

As good as David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' is, it's still rather surreal watching someone perform it from space.

This is the perfect way to relive those golden years back in the '90s before you hardened your heart and started listening exclusively to death metal. It's a metal guitar version of your 12-year-old self's favorite song -- 'Barbie Girl' by Scandinavian dance-pop group Aqua.

Just when we thought America's favorite video game, 'Super Mario Bros.,' couldn't get any better -- enter YouTube's 311Erock, aka rocker Eric Calderone. In this video, Eric shows us that not all metal riffs and/or tones are used for moshing, horror movies and making parents angry.

Whatever your opinion of heavy metal god and legendary crankster Dave Mustaine, there's no denying that the dude can shred. But what's even more impressive is this amazing cover of Mustaine's solo from Megadeth's 'Holy Wars...The Punishment Due.' Oh, and did we mention that this heavy metal fan plays it on an iPhone?

I'm a big fan of a good cover song. When I go to a concert for a band I like and they belt out journey tune, or something epic from Britney Spears I go crazy. In honor of that I decided to create the top 10 most awesome cover songs!
