Cover versus Original

The original is still the definitive version, and the Depeche Mode boys seem to be ageing alot better than Leppard

This is an amusing case...

Was surprised not to have heard this case before...

A savage cover from Machine Head no doubt about it but I think I prefer the original.

^ totally agree rpj, if Metallica are in a best of cover competition...they'll always win imo, but I thought I'd just throw it out there, I only discovered the Machine Head cover of Battery yesterday...I know shame on me.

I've got that Remastered tribute that came free with Kerrang and I'd say that Machine Head's version of Battery, along with Trivium's cover of Master of Puppets are the best of the bunch.Bullet For My Valentine did a decent job with Welcome Home(Sanitarium)but the rest of the bands don't do the other songs justice in my view.
