While driving to Bed Bath & Beyond last night, I was listening to Sirius Radio’s Metal channel when I heard a cover of AC/DC’s classic “TNT” by Six Feet Under, a death metal band. From their website:
Launched in 1995, Six Feet Under, was originally conceived as a side project by then Cannibal Corpse lead throat Chris Barnes along with Obituary guitarist Allen West, Death’s Terry Butler and drummer Greg Gall. Chris’ departure from Cannibal Corpse that same year expedited the bands rapid evolution beyond a one-off Death Metal super group into the world's most respected name in extreme music. The combination of speedy riffs, down tuned groove and lyrics inspired by the horrors of the mind and the world at large had established SFU internationally as the reigning, if not, most feared Death Metal act.

Imagine, for a moment, what a growling death metal version of “TNT” would sound like, and you’d probably be fairly close. It was at once slightly amusing but surprisingly catchy ;). And, as it turns out, it’s available as an mp3 from their website if you want to hear what it sounds like.
Boston-based celtic punk rockers Dropkick Murphys used to sing part of TNT as an interlude in the final song at their shows. Then they switched lead singers, and I stopped listening to them. But it was really cool at the time.
“While driving to Bed Bath & Beyond last night, I was listening to Sirius Radio’s Metal channel”
There’s a phrase I never thought I would hear.
lmao. Yeah I love Six Feet Under, you think thats amusing, check out Devourment. Or better yet, when Dimurgos, my band, Covers listen to your heart =). Blow your fucking ears of man. I found this on google lol. Anyways, Six Feet Under kick ass… although that song makes me laugh everytime i listen to it.
When I said that I stopped listening to Dropkick I forgot to say it is because I suck. They are much more dynamic now with the new singer, I’m just not in to good music so I stopped listening to them.
AC DC is not just death metal they have songs for everybody
