They have more gothic feel compared to original. Cradle of Filth version also has really interesting vocals. I still dig the original a lot.

I don't have much explanation why I like this more. I guess the overall higher pitch clicks with me better.

I like Dee Snider's later works but his Twisted Sister stuff is hard to get into personally for some reason. The over the top Glam aesthetic doesn't help either.

That's a nice cover. I also consider this cover to be better than the original:

 

[Caesercel]

Dimmu Borgir, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio... So many men of culture on this thread.

Obligatory.

 

[Capable_Onion]

Actually found out recently that Johnny Cash's version of Hurt is actually a cover of Nine Inch Nails version

You would think it's the other way around, but actually not lol.

I have to make a correction, Benny Mardones original is pretty good too, been listening to it over, its kind of a tie for me right now

I think they are both good in their own way.
