Why does everything sound SO much better metal!

[Fraught]

I understand that metal is the music of the gods, so heres my challenge to you. Pick a song and im pretty sure i can find the better metal version!

Better subjectively.

Straight off the bat, this thread is already doomed for failure. I mean, really?

 

[Pegghead]

Meh, I'm not that big a fan of metal.

But here's something you simply CANNOT metallify

 

[ChaoticKraus]

Because you obsessively like metal and thus metal versions sound better to you?

 

[Outright Villainy]

Well there's plenty of songs that wouldn't work in a metal style. In fact, most songs wouldn't work as metal.
That said, find me a song Machine head covered where the original is better.
I'm afraid if you contest that you're just a silly liar.

Ok, i give thee challenges three:

1.the easy one, vivaldi's four seasons
2. medium difficulty, Mr.Sandman by Pat Ballard
3. hard, this is technically a metal cove of another metal song, but this is a harder version, anyways, find The death metal version of Aces high from Iron maiden that have a Bagpipe solo.

and a bonus round: which song from what band copies the instrumental intro to "somebody to love" by Queen, hint; the band is fronted by one of the pioneers of Power Metal

EDIT: all of these exist BTW, i have them on my computer

Medium difficulty one:


Didn't actually know Blind Guardian actually made a music video for it though, haha.

This thread is a good indication of why I am embarassed to admit to liking metal.

Seriously, you metal fans are fucking EMBARASSING.

OT: I dont know the name of it, but that song that was in fallout 3 trailers "I dont want to set the world on fiiiiirrreee" although the lyrics would fit, it wouldn't be as good in a metal version.

And yes I do love Metal! I also enjoy humour, oh and if the guitar solo makes you want to cry blood bear in mind it is actually Brian May playing it!

Ave Maria by Schubert
Karn Evil 9 by ELP
Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd

Actually, I can mention most great classic artists and I know for a fact it won't work as well. For the metal version to be better, they would have to be more creative than the genius behind the works they're covering.

That's just disgusting. I think you know that as well, your just going to chuck up the first cover you find.

 

[electric discordian]

Of course I know it's awful that's the point! If you check the band it's most of the Young ones and a member of the Comic Strip presents!

Bad News were the British Spinal Tap!

I second this. Seriously guys, there's liking metal, and getting retardedly and ignorantly obsessed with metal. It's a thread of douches saying metal is the one true music and that everything else is shit. Grow. The fuck. Up.

*EDIT* Metal can't make Ode To Joy any better.

 

[GLo Jones]

Good fucking luck. Though I imagine this'll have you beaten.

 

[FlameOfArnor]

Thank you very much. This is exactly why every music fan ever needs to stop pushing that on other people in this way. Ilike metal and i've introduced some friends to it but for gods sake, being so insistent about it, like this thread is, is just stupid. Just enjoy the goddamned music!

and yet i would say the exact same thing about rap and hip hop fans lol well not that i like either but still... but yeah the die hard death/metal fans are not so much embarassing as they are boring to hang out with its just like jocks, they never shut up about one subject be that girls/football or death/black metal

 

[Red Right Hand]

You won't find one because I hate metal.

Try and make this better,

Spoiler

It can't be done can it?

Everything sounds better when it's metal because you're young and angsty. You'll grow out of it one day, don't worry.
