1st 5 go to metal/rock tracks for auditioning

More Desert Rock : Stoned meadow of doom (handle name of a person on youtube) posts a ton of stuff . One of the features of desert rock is the rawness of the guitar riff's and each instruments has its space.
More bands :
Queens of the Stone age (QotSa)
Iggy Pop and Josh Homme ( QotSa lead...)
Vista Chino
Orange Goblin
 
YouTube channel 'Frog leap Studio's has some high quality recording cover songs.
A guy from Norway, Leo Moracchioli who does all by himself (vocals, drums, guitar...n then stitch everything together) does cover of popular songs and give a metal flavor to it.
Highly recommend for auditioning metal songs.
 
one more list:
1. Tool - Lateralus
2. Nightwish - Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken (Amazing vocals at the end)
3. Tool - Pneuma
4. Rammstein - Feuer Frei
5. Immortal - All Shall Fail
 
Metallica - Sad but true (for level of details, timing and punch)
Jesu - Lifeline (for tonal character and harmonics)
My Dying Bride - The Cry of Mankind (can it really handle drums played loud)
Entombed - Couple of tracks from wolverine blues (how does it play rock n rolla)
White Zombie - Electric head pt 2 (the whole dynamics and energy)

will end the session with NIN - the fragile

Lovely metal twist to the classic. My metal days are long gone but loved it!
 
I have been mulling on starting a "covers" thread for a while now.
Been gathering links to interesting versions.
Maybe in a week or two I should have enough meat for a thread starter post.
Stay tuned ...
Cheers,
