cjcdaman Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 A couple guys and I at work mostly listen to rock, but sometimes we listen to easy listening or even pop(God, I hate it). In order to help me "like" some of the songs, I "metal" them up" a little bit while singing the lyrics. I've found that Ace of Base songs literally were meant to be metal . . . particularly The Sign, Don't Turn Around(awesome), and All That She Wants. It is so fun doing this and we laugh so hard sometimes. There are so many more that the pop station plays that if it were just covered by a metal band or at the very least put into a rock version, it would ****ing kick ass! Last, but not least the Beverly Hills Cop song should be "metalled". Anybody know some good cover songs that have been put into rock or metal versions. Love cover songs!

cjcdaman Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 I Kissed a Girl BAD ASS! DAMN!!! Thanks for that. I wish I had the means to do stuff like that. You guys ever heard some stuff put into lounge music? A guy at work told me about a website for some guy that he couldn't remember his name...but the dude makes everything to lounge music. That's hilarious. I wish I had the time and money to do stuff like that. Having said that, this particular thread is definitely about metal and rock covers...but lounge covers are absolutely welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Symphony no. 9: Original Rhapsody's implementation This one isn't a straight cover, but it implements it in a metal form. Beethoven's 5th and Moonlight Sonata: Original 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 First one was great. Second one was awesome! Thanks, PP! So far, I've got 3 to add to my collection. Look at more of Dream Evil's stuff, they are a freaking awesome band. My favorite right now. Firewind is also good, especially their newer stuff. Their guitarist used to play for Dream Evil before he left to focus more on Firewind, which he started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I Kissed a Girl BAD ASS! For that one, didn't they just mix the real thing with metal instead of a full-out cover? Awesome that it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he took the vocals and pitch shifted them and time stretched them. For the lounge music stuff, go to Youtube and search Richard Cheese. He has done a ton of stuff.

Again, thank you. No problem, these are some of my top bands I listen to (most all of their stuff is original work, which makes the covers stand out). I know Dark Moor has more covers, I'll try to find which ones are covers. I don't listen to Dark Moor nearly as often as Rhapsody of Fire, but The Moon is damn good.
