Strange Metal Covers?

Sometimes a metal band chooses to cover something completely left of center. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. What are your favorite weird, but sometimes good, metal covers?

My picks.

Judas Priest - Diamonds And Rust

Exodus - Low Rider

Megadeth - These Boots

Testament - Nobody's Fault
