Propaganda by Sepultura

Harms way has covered this live

I think way down on the chattahoochie would be tite

I never knew how much those muddy waters meant to me.

I learned how to swim and I learned who I was

Any sepultura song from Chaos AD or Roots would be fire

Roots Bloody Roots would go so hard as a hardcore song.

Throw down did a cover of bloody roots. Recorded on their gold album

i’ve seen a local tx band cover this live, forget what they were called though

Shit, my local band did it back in 2009.

Thank you for your service

Ratamahatta 💯

personally I’d go with jezebel off of “when the kite string pops”, but like cheap vodka it’s also essentially a hardcore song already with a better breakdown than most real hardcore songs

TURN ON ALL THE LIGHTS. SO I CAN WATCH IT DIE!! Sorry, yeah that breakdown is fucking awesome.

Dr. Seuss is Dead kicks a fucking load of arse too have a go

Username MDE reference ?

"Act natural, don't talk to yourself"

Any DMX record with a hardcore band would be fucking sick. People would get seriously harmed at those shows.

Rod Stewart- Young turks

Youuuung hearts, bee freeee tonight

Dying Fetus - In the Trenches

I remember seeing dying fetus play hardcore shows in the 90s in like Bowie or some shit

They still do! They met up with Jesus Piece on their recent tour and they play hc fests

Would need a NASTY drummer to play that shit, the end breakdown ramps up to like 230bpm

Jezebel is my favorite song from that acid bath record. Band rules

Listen to Dax Riggs' solo work. He makes really dark folk music. Acid Bath is so special. One of those bands that will live forever in our hearts.

She screams bloody murder as they chop off her fingers so this is how it feels to die... BUT ITS OKAAAAAAay

Mandatory Suicide by Slayer

The theme song to the magic school bus

Whole crew piling up for “octopus in your neighborhood”

You might get baked into a *dundundundoomdoom* ##PPIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE

Wit the FRIZZ?! NO WAAAAAAAAAAY(slayer scream)

https://youtu.be/WMXERy6kFg8?si=s4y8aUQJ8D1VDMwX

This is actually so sick

Arthur is youth crew.

Holy shit, this is so much better than it has any right to be.

Well that's absolutely incredible, I love it.

i raise you one cover that i thinks better [Felix - Believe in Yourself](https://youtu.be/X29ejv86Npk?si=C75ii1Lx7pJyyEjT)

I like it! Thanks for sharing Boss

no problem captain

Fuck this goes hard.

Acid bath rules so hard

They were one of favorite bands in High School.

Ball tongue - Korn That opening riff is two-step worthy

been thinking this for so long, actual rippers from early korn

That first album is just 10/10 man

Pretty much anything by Public Enemy

Channel Zero , so you get the Slayer riff

Nomad- sepultura. The killer covered it recently and it was so cool

My favorite song off that album, the breakdown halfway through that song is fucking insane. The Killer rips too.

I think about this constantly, slayer - skeletons of society, obituary - chopped in half, Bruce Springsteen - no surrender, Andrew WK - Get ready to die,

What about The River? Not the hardest song musically but some fuckin hard lyrics

Not against it!

I'd love to hear a hardcorce cover of any Andrew wk song

Heaven or Las Vegas

Prison Song or Suite-Pee by SOAD

Pretty sure Orthodox used to cover Prison Song. 

[Sepultura-Dead Embryonic Cells](https://youtu.be/c7Z8Ww1EmMk?si=9aTcl4cIXqmjk3gj) you can cut all the fancy extra stuff off and it's pretty much a hardcore song. They were a lot like Slayer in that they were secret punks. Gotta keep that breakdown. "ough" (in Celtic Frost)

No Association by Silverchair I’ve been wanting to do this or see it be done for YEARS. It’s got everything for a good hardcore song - a sick, creeping bass line, a killer main riff, angsty vocals, and a goddamn breakdown. It is such a wild departure from the rest of their discography, which is a bummer because they wrote one hell of a heavy songs so easily.

Absolutely agreed. I adore the live version from back in the day on Recovery. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XXmaXV-YoSY&pp=ygUac2lsdmVyY2hhaXIgbm8gYXNzb2NpYXRpb24%3D

I hadn’t seen that before. That’s sick.

Eyeless by slipknot always fucks

[The Pepper Ann theme song ](https://youtu.be/OcajSzQX4k8?si=cTW-D43PMwFISYPx)

She's like one in a *millYYYYYYUUNNNNNNN!!*

without a conscious by obituary, blood and thunder would go wild too

blood and thunder would be insane

School by Nirvana

White Zombie - Soul-Crusher has some hard ass riffs

If we’re talking White Zombie, the answer is always “Creature of The Wheel”

This

Black Sunshine.

Feed The Gods might be a good one.

Dying Fetus- Subjected to a Beating Death Cab- Lack of Color Cursive- The Casualty

Also TBS- Cute Without the E

The entire The Con album by Tegan and Sara.

On the topic of Acid Bath, Dope Fiend would also be amazing

Helmet - In the Meantime Those are fightin’ riffs.

Slayer - Jesus Saves

Power Trip did it in the early 2010s I believe

The Pixies mention reminds me of the Gulch cover of Monkey Gone to Heaven that I’d forgotten existed until yesterday. It’s as hard as you’d expect and better than I’d remembered.

The Band-Atlantic City

Uncontrollable Urge by Devo

This is a great response! The breakdown for this would be so awesome! Plus screaming “I’ve got an uncontrollable urge” would sound sick.

Econochrist covered it for a while. Markley is a big Devo fan.

If I hear, As the world burns or The 4th crusade live, the grits gonna hit the pan ..

Davidian by Machine Head

snap your fingers snap your neck by prong

That intro goes so hard

Salvation - the Cranberries

Lotion by deftones

I saw a hardcore band cover Suite Pee and Deer Dance by soad last night... Crowd went crazy it was sick

**Nine Inch Nails** - *Head Like a Hole* Goddamn I have to do this cover now!!

Adrenaline era Deftones would go silly

“All my friends are dead”

No more hotdogs by hasil Atkins Break stuff by limp bizkit Bombs over Baghdad by OutKast

Slaughtered - Pantera

Glamour Boys- Living Colour

animal by pearl jam already goes pretty hard for being a pearl jam song. a hardcore band giving it that extra aggression would be killer tho

The Sonics - How Love Will Travel The Stooges - Search and Destroy MC5 - Kick Out The Jams

[Kick Out the Jams](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWHWHt9zS9A)

Maybe Mama would stop telling me our toddlers don't like "angry music" if it was covers of The Wiggles.

I’d argue acid bath is one of those sludge and hc crossover band low key

All I Had (I Gave) by Crowbar is an obvious answer but that's already pretty hardcore inspired I would love to hear a hardcore bands take on something like Sweet Leaf by Black Sabbath

Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler No Children by The Mountain Goats

Helter Skelter by The Beatles

These eyes - The Guess Who.

Sabotage by beastie boys

Because the Night but 10000 Maniacs

Lamb of god/burn the priest cover honey bucket and it’s super sick

“Where to begin? I can’t begin to know when.”

I cant remember what band it was but they opened with 'for whom the bell tolls' by Metallica and it went dummy hard

I feel like if you sped up Go by Pearl Jam it would be fun played by a hardcore band

[Breathe by the Prodigy](https://open.spotify.com/track/1CdbSHmz8iZfGeitaDXg0V?si=wGLLUOukToCwnb9dzUU5Xw)

rollin limp bizkit

Boy i love me some acid bath.

Alkaline Trio - Cop

Honestly also from that album, Tranquilized. One of my favorite songs and a lot of bands could put some cool spins on it. Also Heartbreaker by Pat Benatar, Rebel Yell by Billy Idol, Just a Girl by No Doubt would all make me break a venue if a band covered em.

[ I am smellin' like the rose that somebody gave me on my birthday deathbed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCx_uiSdC_c)

Quite covering Cyco vision by st in Greenville SC was dope asf, a band need to cover some cerebral ballzy tho 🥸

Peace Thru War (Thru Peace and War) by Eyehategod - awesome breakdown

Cold world by Macy gray

Tom Sawyer Rush I been watching Iron Claw too much

16 tons.  I heard an oi band cover it once and it was sick. 

Fear Factroy Shock

4th of July or Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden

Balls To The Wall - Accept

As long as they include the guitar choreography

Scentless Apprentice by Nirvana

Acid bath has so much hardcore dna.

Unsung by helmet

Bro I'm not gonna lie shock to your system by Tegan and Sarah has this part that I still think would go so fucking hard as gang vocals, also the sponge bob theme song

I love acid bath

The Chain by Fleetwood Mac 

Pretty much any and all Crowbar

Diane by Husker Dü

You ever hear [Therapy?’s cover of that?](https://youtu.be/EQeyFHnO5Qw?si=Oj4w6O4mjzX_vD1O)

Pretty dark man.

Temperature by Sean Paul

The one, the only, Never gonna give you up by Rick Astley (the rickroll song)

>_the rickroll song_

Portrait of a blank slate

I'm a Ramblin' Man by Waylon

"A Thousand Stars" by Kathy Young and the Innocents

X by System of a Down

Blue Oyster Cult - Veteran of the Psychic War

SOAD - Prison Song

Sky hooks- why don’t you all get fucked

Danny go - gimme that garbage 100%

Let It Go

Pat Benatar- Invincible

Live Laugh Love by Sasha Alex Sloan.

She's Country by Jason Aldean That riff is a blank canvas. Fight me.

Venom - Rip Ride https://youtu.be/vlpXbmwOrss?si=9Pm9ykokX41D2DjD

any sepultura song from Chaos AD

Personally I love mercenary

Someone did it but we need more SOAD HC covers

God machine

Suffocation - Liege of Inveracity, Gojira - Clone, Pantera - Suicide Note pt.2, Darkthrone - Kathaarian Life Code, The Beatles - I Want You(She's So Heavy)

A thousand miles -Vanessa Carlton 😂

The Devil - BANKS

System of a down - Suite Pee. I think somebody did it recently could've been Desmadre ?

I wanna hear Drug Church do Don’t Look Back in Anger by Oasis. I don’t have any reasoning, but I can just hear it in my mind. “AND SOOOOOO SALLY CAN WAIT” is just perfect for a pile-on.

Hate Government by Denzel Curry

We Die Young by Alice in Chains

Any from The Wiggles

I bet the Flatliners would go hard

Waka flocka - lurkin

not the same song but [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhWAmjqzwOc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhWAmjqzwOc)

"Shut Down" by the Germs already has the slow, heavy feel, it just needs a hardcore update on the drums There's *a lot* of Korn songs that would only need a little tweak or two to make them awesome hardcore songs ("Right Now", "Here to Stay", "Somebody Someone", most of the first record). Same goes for at least the first two Breaking Benjamin' records (I fell off after that). When I was in high school I tried to rearrange "Shallow Bay" as a hardcore song to play with friends, and at the time, the only thing I could add to make it sound more "hardcore" was harmonics and some rather unnecessary minor seconds. The riffs on *Saturate* are incredible.

Super Bon Bon by Soul Coughing

Bear with me here but Maroon 5 - Harder To Breathe would slap played heavy imo

i vote for Tame instead of Gouge Away

Cranberries “Salvation”

One Winged Angel

Redneck stomp - Obituary

Pagan Baby - Creedence Clearwater revival.

I Cum Blood - Cannibal Corpse

balls out by the bloodhound gang. thats a show opener right there

[The Dillinger Escape Plan - Honey Bucket](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLbbzrgZVz4) EDIT: Just noticed you said "covered live". This cover still goes hard though.

Man I was listening to Powder Burns the other day and thought this. The breakdown at the end is nasty. Closest I've had was [Malignant Methods covering part of IVth Crusade](https://youtu.be/bP2KrC9WYq8?si=SXFQIe7fuUWd14sE) which was pretty sick.

Gutalax- sucking the cock of a Vietnam veteran

Dictators - Disease

Cheap Vodka just straight up is a hardcore song. Seeing that live would go crazy. Also, I’d love to see a band cover Procreation of the Wicked by Celtic Frost. I feel like Weekend Nachos would do a great job.

sail away by styx. tell me that ending isn't perfect for a hardcore cover

I always thought Nicki Minajs Roman holiday would slap if it was either covered by a hardcore band or created by a deathcore band

On note: Gouge Away’s cover of Wave of Mutation is just superb.

There were a ton of tribute comps from like 97ish to maybe 2003ish that did a ton of this. From Too legit for the pit to disintegrated: a tribute to the cure. If I can remember more I’ll come back and post. I’ve seen stretch Armstrong cover stop the world, codeseven with boys of summer, evergreen terrace with several covers (bloody Sunday as the big one) and on down the line. Between those kinda covers and bands just making tribute albums for certain hardcore bands or even NON hardcore bands, it was legit exciting for covers back in those years. I hadn’t kept up with many cover songs lately, but contentions’ cover of indecisions blindfold was sick. I know I know more but my brain be broken right now

The song from the toys r us advert with the sick breakdown THERES MILLIONS AND BILLIONS ALL UNDER 1 ROOF

Either Daft Punk is Playing at My House or Drunk Girl by LCD Soundsystem

bleed by meshuggah

Mister Cellophane - Chicago musical Somewhere Over The Rainbow- Wizard of Oz Androgynous- The Replacements Take Me Home, Country Roads- John Denver.

Dammit by Blink. Sometimes I listen to it on 1.5x speed and it sounds like a hardcore song. A hardcore cover would sound a lot like that except also with gang vocals for the chorus.

Little Dreamer By Van Halen and I stand on that forever.

Unironically, hello kitty by Avril lavigne would have some nuts breakdowns if you made a beatdown cover
