Whiskey In the Jar - Metallica

45 - Shinedown

There was also one that Pearl Jam covered but now I can't remember the name! It was a song from the 50's I believe about a young couple who's car stalled on railroad tracks and got hit by the train. The girl died.

Last Kiss. Great Song. And just as intended by the original performer the make no money off of this song.

Rusty Cage - Johnny Cash (I love this by JC and Soundgarden!)
Shock the Monkey - Coal Chamber (Ozzy helped too)
Cat Scratch Fever - Pantera (Miss you Dime)
Signs - Tesla
Come Together - Aerosmith
A few by Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar, Turn the Page, others I can't think of.
Sweet Dreams - Marilyn Manson

Too many more to mention.

I just got through listening to one of the best remakes of a song I have heard in a lifetime.
Godsmack covered Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. The remake is a beautiful song and I like the remake if not more than the original and I love both Metallica and Godsmack.
