Sorry, but the Korn cover is God Awful. Wow, and Fieldy's bass playing makes it even sound worse. That dude is one of the worse bass players I have ever heard. His sudo-slap style is atrocious and only ever fit with the original drummer who's style could cover up Fieldy's horrible playing. Jonathan's vocals are too whiney for the song as well.

I am sorry, but when trying to cover greats like Zeppelin, Metallica, etc, you had better be great yourself and on your game or it just sounds like garbage.

As far as Sheryl Crowe, ole two squares sucks in my opinion at everything she does. Her "Sweet Child O Mine" cover made me want to shove an ice pick in my ears.

Here's Tori Amos with a pretty fine cover. I had the pleasure of seeing her live almost front row at the Grand Ole Opry when I lived in Nashville and she is bar none one of the finest performers I have ever seen.

I also like this redo although with Zakk Wylde doing it I don't know if it's a real cover other than the vocals.

I am not a huge Godsmack fan but love their Good Times Bad Times Cover:

And the coolest nursery rhyme cover ever, period:
