Following up on our previous post, here are three heavy metal covers done right. Arab Strap (pictured above) do a version of “You Shook Me All Night Long” which should erase any memory of Celine Dion’s butchery. And as promised, here’s Emm Gryner’s quiet, piano-based version of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train.” Finally, the Dresden Dolls dusted off Black Sabbath’s 1970 anti-Vietnam-War anthem, “War Pigs,” for their live shows:
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
