That's a misunderstanding. You might just as well write the cover-tree of the song "The green manalishi" like this:
GOTHAM CITY, AXEWITCH, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, MELVINS, STEEL...

some of the best "cover" songs appeared on the Tribute To Sepultura sampler:
Sacramentum - Antichrist
Swordmaster - Warriors Of Death
Mystifier - also Warriors Of Death
Defleshed - Beneath The Remains
The Crown - Arise
each and every song hammering the original version down to the ground.
Also the following versions are highly appreciated and in my opinion better than the originals:
The Crown/Crown Of Thorns - Burning Leather (from Bathory)
Headhunter D.C. - Alcool (Dorsal Atlantica cover)
Gehennah - Devil In Disguise
Runemagick - Malicious Paradise (incredible how they are killing with this song, personal highlight)
Secrets Of The Moon - Under A Funeral Moon
Therion - Witching Hour (I love it)
one of the lamest cover I ever heard was the Death cover of Painkiller. Horrible. But too many to mention. All the Dwell Record tribute compilations contained massive amounts of crap not worth listing here.

the absolute best
recent cover I've heard is Lust's cover of Spear of Longinus' "Nazi Occult metal" on the "Genesis of a Satanic Race" lp.......

Just remembered this one:
Skyclad – Emerald (Thin Lizzy)
Also, I think I prefer Sacred Rite's cover of Eleanor Rigby to the Realm version. Anyone else?

I really like Abbatoir's cover of 'Ace of Spades' too. Omnitron get extra points for the '...and don't forget OMNITROOOOOOON!' but in their take, though.
