Black Sabbath... by the Cardigans.

Heard this on the radio yesterday. The Cardigan's cover of Iron Man:

WTF?

Disturbingly enough, it's not bad.

Girl's cute. Crap vid.
Be that as it may, it's pretty damn good. Shoulda' used it in the Ironman movie!

Here's a vid of their version of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath:

It's not metal, but it's bloody good, if you ask me.

White people, leave Black Sabbath alone!!
And quit covering them.

Jesus, that was bad! WTF is right!

I like it... kinda cool urban downtempo feel... but in the Iron Man video... that's not the chick from the Cardigans...

Yeah. I knew that wasn't Nina. Nina's much hotter than the chicky in the vid.

These two converted songs, if you will, really shows that metal peeps can write good songs. To me, good songs can be cross genre'd and still be pulled off successfully.

If one has never heard either original Black Sabbath versions of these tunes, you'd think they were Cardigans tunes.

I like it! Then again, I'm also a big Tori Amos fan.

i bought that cd back then, i couldn't help it the girls voice gave me wood
it ended up being a pretty damn good cd, the musicians were on, it's just a bit weird/ different but it grew on me, i wouldn't mind hearing it again i knew at least a few songs i really liked..

Not to disrespect those who dig, but I found them to be as lame as the rest of the cardigans catalogue. They made the songs their own, which is usually a good thing in a cover version, but not this time.
