Metallica - Garage Days has tons of good cover

Pearl Jam - Last Kiss

Johnny Cash's -American Albums Hurt, Rusty Cage and others
Limp Bizket's- Faith

if you like bluegrass or not check out the Pickin' on series featuring Iron Horse they do bluegrass cover of Guns N roses, Metallica, Blink 182 and Green Day

BloodHound Gang- It's Tricky

Carrie Underwood did Paradise City at one of the country awards shows and nailed it.

I can listen to Aaron Lewis sing any damn thing. He could sing Happy Birthday in some kind of cool way. One of my many faves is his cover of Nutshell, by Alice in Chains. Really don't care for his newer "country" stuff. Love his covers and anything from the Staind days.

Puddle of Mudd is one band that I hope gets their **** together and starts making music again now that Wes Scantlin is out of prison.

Disturbed's version of Land of Confusion originally by Genius.

Also a cool, mad max style video.

Five FInger Death Punch has done some awesome re-duex's of some great songs with their own touch.
"House of the Rising Sun" as being Vegas is cool if you can make it through the first 30 secs or so.

But I love there version of "Bad Company" from Bad Company. I challenge anyone who listens to this song to try and not sing along, or at a minimum head bob a little.
