THOUGHTS
People should stop trying to cover Led Zeppelin, as they always fail. People should focus on covering Iron Maiden and Slayer, as they always succeed. Megadeth and Vader can do no wrong with covers. Cannibal Corpse should stop covering Possessed. What few Dark Angel covers there have been were all good.
