The original is garbage, the cover saved it. Hell's Bell's, AC/DC. It's a solid song when it's performed by a heavier band, and (I can't believe I'm saying this) as far as I'm concerned Six Feet Under straight up took it from them. And I don't even like Six Feet Under. Brian Johnson just doesn't fuckin' cut it.
