What are some cover songs that you think are better than the original. Mine would be Sabatons cover of 1916, Metallica's cover of stone cold crazy, and Led Zepplin's cover of Dazed and Confused and Babe Im Gonna Leave You.
Every cover Type o Negative has done is better than the original.
Paranoid, black sabbath(from the satanic perspective) summer breeze, hey Pete(hey joe), highway star, Santana medley, cinnamon girl, day tripper, bad moon rising..
surfin bird by sodom is banger, in a gadda da vida slayer version also slaps .both versions of turn the page are great and both the exodus and acdc version of overdose are bodacious
Grand Funk Railroad - "Gimme Shelter"
Humble Pie - "Honky Tonk Women"
April Wine - "Sign of the Gypsy Queen"
Judas Priest - "Diamonds and Rust"
Van Halen - "You Really Got Me"
Nazareth - "The Ballad of Hollis Brown"
For me, the cover of Born to be Wild by Raven and UDO is the biggest improvement in quality over an original - John and UDO give the most perfectly unhinged vocal performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_gSQqsLtK0

The first ones I can think of are GNR - Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Nightwish - Over The Hills And Far Away, and Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence.
But have a look at this guy and the type of covers he created, isn't he truly original??
