The Rolling Stones

Aside from D's two Amos covers, I knew nothing about other metal when I started listening to them, so it was a while before I found out After Forever was a cover.

Is it better than the Biogenesis version?

I never knew this existed, where did you find it? It looks like it may only be available on the physical release of Hand of Death?

Yup I have Hand Of Death which is where I first heard it. I didn't realize it was a cover until I was sampling some of Saint's music on youtube and recognized it haha.

I'm just learning this now, but I knew 'Diamonds and Rust' as well as 'Green Manalishi' were covers.

Also, how much better could Van Halen have been if they didn't let Ted Templeman dictate to them to do covers on every album? Their best stuff are originals.

I still don't think I know who originally wrote Since You've Been Gone and God Gave Rock'n'Roll To You. Don't feel like looking it up.

Whitesnake covered itself with Here I Go Again. I never liked the song (generic riff), but it was a big hit.

Who wrote Summertime Blues? Blue Cheer or The Who?

by Pro-Zak Thu Mar 14, 2024 4:42 pm

They also covered themselves with "Crying in the Rain."

God Gave Rock'n'Roll to You is from a band called Argent... I always thought it was from Petra

Impellitteri - Symptom of the Universe, didn’t learn until later it was a Black Sabbath cover. I still maintain this version is way better than the original
