For Sale TRIVIA - FREE - Pillage & Plunder (1 Viewer)

I have really been into cover songs for the past year or so, I’ve built a respectable library but would like to expand it and frankly I’m getting tired of searching. Offering up some samples in hopes of getting a lot of guesses, in a perfect world this will lead to me finding some good stuff I’ve missed.

The winner will receive a partial P&P sample set consisting of AT LEAST ten unique chips, including both the new Pieces of Eight and Sunset chips.

The trivia question is: What is my favorite cover song?

The winning answer must contain both the name of the song and the band performing it. The original song can be absolutely anything from any time period and any genre.

In the interest of fair play to keep one from spamming a list of 100 songs, each member is limited to five guesses per post and must wait at least 30 minutes between guesses.

In the interest of giving myself more opportunities to find new music I’m not announcing a winner until 8pm EST even if the first guess nails it . If there is no winner at that time I will offer hints to narrow it down.

Only hint I will give off the bat is my musical tastes, particularly when it comes to cover songs, lean heavily towards the various classifications of metal. These three are firmly in my current top five:

 

[WedgeRock]

 

[Ronoh]

Quite a few listed that I’m not yet familiar with, looking forward to checking them out tonight.

I will say it’s not been hit yet

 

[chubbyone]

I know that’s not a winner, but a cover I always go back to. The original is in my top 10 songs all time, so catchy and simple but 11 year-old me (And now 31 year old me) can’t get enough!

 

[Ronoh]

Love me some Maiden, on the short list of my favorite bands

Have you head the cover of Zep's Communication Breakdown? Bruce kills the vocals (as he always does).

I haven’t.

 

[WedgeRock]

I haven’t.

Now you have.

My second favorite cover.....
(Somebody already guessed my first, Johnny Cash - Hurt)

 

[v1pe]

Wow, that was incredible.

I'm not much a huge metal fan (enjoy it, but don't seek it out) so I won't venture to guess your fav.

 

[Sunshine]

Fun metal covers, you say?

Slayer: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Volbeat: Only Wanna Be with You
Iron Maiden: Cross-Eyed Mary
Does Anthrax & Public Enemy: Bring the Noise count if it's a PE song?
Tool: No Quarter

Wait, that's 5 already? I could keep going ...

 

[WedgeRock]

Volbeat: Only Wanna Be with You

Well now you've got me down the rabbit hole of 90s nostalgic rock. Thank goodness for Spotify playlists.

 

[Psypher1000]

I mean, it can’t be as obvious as Alien Ant Farm’s version of Smooth Criminal...can it?

 

[Forty4]

Tool: No Quarter

Would make sense, but would be a little disappointed too.

No Quarter
Denomination: 50 cents
Quantity: 200
Level: 4
Spot Pattern: 1/4PIE3C
Colors: Red, White, Black
Status: Ordered

Notes: A pirate flag containing the color red means "no quarter/no mercy". Seemed fitting for a non-quarter frac.

Not metal but one of my favorites

 

[tommythecat]

 

[pltrgyst]

Gotta be Elvis covering "My Way" or "I'll Be Home for Christmas".

 

[RowdyRawhide]

I doubt you have heard this version before but I figured I would throw it out there

I'm crying right now

 

[RichMahogany]

Cant believe this hasn't been posted yet.

Does it count?

 

[WedgeRock]

Must be the old man's bird:

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Anyone say Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson yet?

Edit...someone already did, so I'm gonna go with:

Chris Cornell - A day in the Life
Chris Cornel - Nothing Compares 2 you
Chris Cornell - I will Always Love You
Chris Cornell - Redemption Song

 

[krafticus]

Right now, my 2 favorite are from Five Finger Death Punch.

Land of the Rising sun
Bad Company

 

[Jagamov]

I always like these too:

Metallica - Turn The Page
Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar

I’ve watched a lot of the videos in this thread. Some are great, some are tolerable. THAT one reminded me that i don’t like metal.

Was gonna go with Metallica: Die, Die My Darling, but yours is probably the more interesting choice for a Misfits cover.

And, of course, the answer should be No Quarter .... come on!
