@Aetas to each their own, but I only hope with all hope it's the Sabbath version?! the Foo Fighter's version had no soul or feeling. Seeing Sabbath play warpigs live was one of the music highlights of my life so far

I don’t think it would ever be possible for Foo Fighters or anyone else,for that matter,to emulate the heart, soul and feeling Black Sabbath had as the original artist. Having said that I feel Foo Fighters and Zach Brown gave it their all and were as respectful of the original as they could be. That’s a tough song to cover. I’m a huge Foo Fighters fan,and A Black Sabbath fan. Obviously I’m OK with it. Having been a lifelong musician I know from experience the pit falls of covering another artist’s work. Once did an unplugged version of Highway to Hell,which did not go well with my friends that were AC/DC fans.

Great Cover, i think it's cool when you do a cover and you kind of try to do your own interpretation of the song, what imo was done pretty good by Dave & Co - but I'm with @Stuart.T on this one: Sabbath definitely!

I always like Paradise Lost's cover of this Bronski Beat classic

One of my favorite covers.

I mean this in the nicest possible way but, you total bastard

With the exception of the obvious (The Ramones), I got into the music of the NYC punk scene through my love for a British post-punk band, The Sisters of Mercy. Their lead singer was a huge fan of Alan Vega and Suicide. Discovering Suicide was a huge thing for me at age 19 as until then I was deeply sceptical towards anything keyboard driven. What happened next is a long story but the one chapter would be me getting to know all about Television, The New York Dolls, Johnny Thunders and so on. I bloody love how the British and American punk scenes from that era are so different in their starting point, development and denouement, but both so glorious.

Something you might get a kick out of. Aside from my main band ,Sorrows,I played drums for Wayne/Jayne County. In the picture I’m the one with his hands in the air.

Oh my. I’ve read about Wayne/Jayne and the band before. At the risk of being clichéd, that must have been quite a time.

It was pretty wild,although not necessarily fun all the time as he was totally fucking bat shit crazy. He had a huge following so he did really well financially,and he was always quite fair with the band.
