10 Metal Cover Songs That Sound Nothing Like The Original

10. Crazy Train - Pat Boone

In this day and age, it's not out of the question for two completely different genres to find common ground in one form or another. I mean, ever since guys like Aerosmith and Run-DMC decided to collaborate back in the '80s, there have been a myriad of different rock acts looking to take on new genres and see what happens with it. Then again, for all of the great reimaginings in metal history, you also have people like Pat Boone.

Being one of the stalwarts of the early days of rock and roll, Boone was always known as the safe alternative to people like Elvis Presley and Little Richard. So how about we get that guy, and make him do a song written and performed by the Prince of Darkness? For any of those still hopeful, this went about as well as you thought it would, with Boone sounding like a lounge singer on not a particularly expensive yacht trying to sound hip for the times.

Look no further than Boone's eventual promotion for this album, as he decided to don the trademark black leather, making him look like your youth pastor trying to pull off a goth phase. Other than being the tongue in cheek theme for the show the Osbournes, this is the one cover song that has absolutely no reason to exist.
