    This one was certainly an improvement:



    Old and not really a serious cover:




    Ok ... I'm getting old.

    Okay, I know no one will watch this, but this is quite possibly the farthest you'll get from the original genre: The Beatles - I Am the Walrus (psychedelic rock) done by Merzbow (japanoise, experimental, noise) and Boris (drone, sludge metal, noise rock). It's surprisingly good, don't let my classifications throw you off - honestly.

    I love the Cash version of Hurt, almost as much as the Kermit version.

    Some of my favorites, not out-of-genre though...
    1000 Homo DJs (Jourgensen and Reznor, et al) doing Black Sabbath's Supernaut

    Tool doing Led Zep's No Quarter kicks an vast quantity of butt:

    Sepultura doing Motorhead's Orgasmatron - can't find a decent vid unfortunately.

    Out-of-genre, I guess this is a good one, Dynamite Hack's take on Easy-E's Boyz In the Hood (some language)
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Anthrax's version of the Venture's Pipeline is rolling...

    The String Quartet Tribute groups have done a ton of stuff, Slayer's Raining Blood may be even creepier with the acoustics

    That's kinda hypnotic. I couldn't tell for the longest time if they were doing it in English or not ...

    Smooth Criminal by Jackson, covered by Alien Ant Farm. This is a song which was asking to be made heavier.


    Another example of song which benefitted from a heavier cover is Whiskey in the Jar. First an Irish traditional, brought to fame by the Dubliners, then by Thin Lizzy, then by Metallica.
