Marilyn Manson's 10 Best Covers (You've Never Heard)
In 1995, Marilyn Manson released his cover of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," the first single off the group's Smells Like Children EP. The darker, heavier version became a MTV mainstay and remains the group's best-known cover. But it's hardly their only one. Manson's covered everything from Screamin' Jay Hawkins's "I Put a Spell to You" (great) to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," (terrible) to Madonna's "Justify My Love," (as a member of MM side project Satan on Fire). We already spoke to Manson in his dark, Hollywood home for his new album Born Villain, and grabbed some pics from his latest tour but let's go deeper. Here are the 10 best covers you may not know.
10. AC/DC's "Highway to Hell"
In Manson's hands, the title track from AC/DC's 1979 classic became a grinding, industrial alt-rock song off 1999's Detroit Rock City soundtrack.
