Good cover, but that was Dope not Orgy. From Wikipedia...

The song was covered by the heavy metal band Dope This version can be found on American Psycho: Music from the Controversial Motion Picture and Felons & Revolutionaries . This version is often mislabeled on P2P programs as being by Marilyn Manson, Orgy, Billy Idol or Powerman 5000.

The Toyes original is excellent, but I've always liked Sublime's version of "Smoke Two Joints"

 

[Canai]

I like manson's sweet dreams.

check out a cd called WORKING MAN that was produced by Dream Theater's Mike Portnoy and contains a plethora of gifted musicians covering famous RUSH tracks. Most are done better than the originals by Rush. Partly due to newer mixing technology, but also from badass musicians.

Yes - "America"
