maybe it was some elaborate form of irony, or something

do nu metal bands do that kind of thing a lot?

not really, if anything they tended to be overly earnest in an adolescent sort of way

I can only think of that one^

which makes sense because Faith is a good song.

I kinda like Disturbed's cover of Land of Confusion.

This thread ended up reminding me (it's a long story) of that song Ron Browz did with Forever The Sickest Kids.

what a weird piece of music.

I kind of appreciate it on the same level as like "All Star" or something.

Like it's bad but it's funny so it's OK.

Songs being covered in styles totally different from what they originally sounded like is a rare and precious area of music

I don't know if finding them is rewarding or just bizarre

^ I'm gonna be honest here, I was searching for a song to use in my post but couldn't find a good example, but that p much sums it up better than anything I was thinking of
