Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcers of death's construction

    @QuiveringGroove I agree, but FNM's live version is the TITS!

    Stop it with saying Cake's version is better than Black Sabbath's Original. I had that album back in the day, and is it is will always be the the best version. I've heard many versions of this song. I will say Cake cover it better than any other cover of this song.

    So much better than the original. Faith No More's cover was great, too.

    This surprised me. I have on the fence about Cake. Some I like, some I find boring as hell, but this. Damn Sweet cover.

    I really like it, but the sirens ruin it. Maybe they can release a version without them.

    One of the best covers of all time. To take a classic like War Pigs and make you wonder if their version actually improves it? Awesome.

    Even the first few notes sound off. And I like CAKE, but this. No thanks. Actually, I like it....just....leave it alone.

    I love Cake, but this sucks...you don't make a cover of War Pigs. Period

    As with every cover, the judgement is highly subjective. I thinks it's pretty cool. Faith No More's version had a little more of the original power. But it's fun to have a cover in a different style.
