    I'm not gonna run through a list but here is one that is virtually never heard:
    Cross Eyed Mary>Iron Maiden.

    You can find it at http://listen.grooveshark.com .You have to search it as Cross Eyed Mary Iron Maiden because for whatever reason it
    doesn't show up under just the title or artist search.

    I never signed up as a member there,I just go there to try to find songs that I haven't heard for a long time.The sound quality on most
    of the songs surprisingly good,not that tinny sound you hear on other sites.

    Another song that you can check out is Squirrels by the Beastly Boys.It's a parody of the Beastie Boys Girls.
    Anyways,great site.

    Holy Diver - Kill Switch Engage?

    Many younger players think these are originals from that band and not covers themselves. I'm not saying that's true with you, but it's a shame that so many guitarist play a song that itself is a cover, but never realize that it was done many years earlier, and in many cases much better by the original artist.

    I don't think that really counts as a cover since Coverdale did the original with Deep Purple. Can someone do a cover of himself? IDK

    I thought somebody might catch me on that, but keep in mind its not Richie Blackmore on guitar-Reb Beach and Doug Aldrich had more of that 80's hairband shred guitar sound. It was a little different...right? Its always been one of my favorite songs to play on guitar.

    What was there to catch? I thought you called it right the first time..

    You can call it an alternate version... Like is an alternate take a cover? LoL Lou Reed.... Look at how many versions of Sweet Jane since the original with VU he did. Were all those just covers or version?

    Splitting hairs? :lol:
