"Close" thing (sorry not sorry), but by God I think Lanegan pulls it off...

Cradle of Filth have some great covers
Children of Bodom too if that’s your thing

 

[Tommy Chong]

He did a few covers...



My favorite cover of My Way:



I reckon ol' Blue Eyes had a fit when he heard it....

Yep, his 'Scratch my Back' album is all covers - with varying degrees of success

His Book of Love cover is fine, but I still prefer the lovely Magnetic Fields version

Probably best not to mention his cover of Street Spirit

 

[Tommy Chong]

Oh, and let's not forget this gem:



Even Trent Reznor was in awe at how much Cash owned it!
