I like it until those stupid moaning voices come in. Something tells me that was Lee Roth's idea, and it sucks.

Dream Theater takes delight in covering whole albums during live shows. How is it that you don't know this?

No because they played the boring new stuff when I saw them live.
Iced Earth tribute album was alright, I fucking love Blue Oyster Cult, or at least I used to but I just don't like that album as much as other covers, usually covers make me feel like I'm listening to the song again for the first time because it's new but that album didn't do that for me.

Speaking of BOC, they have a cool cover of "Born to Be Wild." I have it as an extra track on
Secret Treaties.

I own the album, one of the few albums I actually bought
Listening to David Gilmore's solo project "cover" of Arnold Layne (with David Bowie) off of Arnold Layne EP. I love listening to this, sounds so awesome.
My favorite cover has to be The Number Twelve Looks Like You's cover of My Sharona

Um...their cover of Knockin' on Heaven's Door is infinitely better. Their Sympathy for the Devil cover really isn't all it's cracked up to be, or even all that different from the original. Just louder and with shittier vocals.
I actually love Sentenced's cover of The Trooper.

I don't care what anyone says, if a song is covered thats originally done by Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden did it better.

I never said it was better, I still think the original is better. I was just saying that I like the cover, too.
The String Quartet's cover of The Mars Volta's Deloused in the Comatorium.
