Betty's Beats: Let's just make every song a metal song

I used to be a huge metal head and would strictly only listen to that and classical. Now, I can appreciate all genres of music, but I prefer indie rock bands like Grizzly Bear, Talking Heads, Local Natives, Department of Eagles, and the list goes on...and on.

I do love still love metal music; although, lately, like most genres of music, some metal  has become formulaic, predictable, and starting to all sound the same. BUT, I can't be a critic all the time, so I still listen and enjoy it.

Being a musician, and growing up listening to so much rock/metal, I love to see when genre's cross each other. ANY song can be turned into a different genre. Classical can become metal, metal can become pop, pop can become country, country can become rock, and so on.

I was digging around on youtube and found some of my favorite examples of Pop Goes Punk. Some are older songs, some newer.
 I dig it, but most people don't. Metal/ Punk is a genre where either you love it or hate it.

I Prevail covers Taylor Swift's Blank Space 

The Animal in Me covers Iggy Azalea ft Rita Ora- Black Widow 

Living in Fiction covers Animals by Maroon 5 

Upon a Burning Body ( ft. Ice-T) Turn Down for What- (with all the bass drops and heavy breakdown beats in this song, we expected it to eventually be a metal cover.) 

Lzzy Hale is a little bad ass. She can play guitar and sing like a champ. I like this cover Halestorm does of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. 

Breathe Carolina does Billy Jean, this one doesn't get metal until the end.. at about 3:10. 

Rhianna- Diamonds by Any Given Day I mainly just like the chorus in this one. 

 

Then there's some hip-hop metal covers 

The Devil Wears Prada- Still Fly 

In Fear and Faith- Ganster's Paradise 

KRUNK.
