Fighting the good fight |
Okay, since you folks seemed to like Disturbed's cover of the folksy "Sound of Silence" song so well, here's another... The newest single from metal band Unleash The Archers is a cover of Stan Roger's "Northwest Passage" (which I've seen described as "Canada's unofficial national anthem"). It's pretty outstanding, not least because UtA's lead singer, Brittney Hayes, has an amazing set of pipes.

not so much folk, https://youtu.be/x0RV0kgdqJU https://youtu.be/x0RV0kgdqJU Leo Moracchioli and frog leap studios do some excellent covers, coming from a guy that is not much into metal https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

Yeah, I'm familiar with Frog Leap Studios. Unfortunately, his covers are kinda hit-or-miss... Surprisingly, one of his best is his metal cover of Adele's "Hello": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtQUJMBH8uE | |||

true, his cover of Sultan's of Swing w/ Mary Spender is decent https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

Metallica's cover of the Irish "Whiskey in the Jar" is pretty solid.... They covered the Dubliners' version. Or was it the Thin Lizzy version? ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

These guys also do a cover of Sounds of Silence, but their cover of Barry McGuire's folk/protest song is a favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydqAbLLAlLc "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

So . . . I just discovered Folk Metal. I did not know that was a thing. I just lost an hour, and I am just getting started  This business will get out of control.

First think I thought of was Jimi Hendrix's cover of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower... | |||

I didn't realize New Order was considered folk music. As much as I hate the fact that everyone seems to have forgotten Simon & Garfunkel's song, it sems a must to post Disturbed's version: "I'm yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet raised to an alarming extent by Hollywood and Madison Avenue, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you're old and weak!" - Calvin, "Calvin & Hobbes" | |||

Sorry, I misread the title when looking for a thread to put it in. Just saw the Hard/Heavy Covers part The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

The OP mentioned this specifically. Not that another video of it hurts.  SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

Yeah, I figured I'd link another copy of it, since most of the other links are dead.
