Type O Negative, "Day Tripper"
Judas Priest, "Diamonds And Rust"
In Flames, "Everything Counts" (well, I don't like the song THAT much, but making a Depeche Mode cover even listenable to me, is no mean feat)
Celtic Frost, "Heroes" (no, really)
Dimmu Borgir, "Burn In Hell"
Gamma Ray, "It's A Sin"
Nevermore, "Love Bites"
Thyrfing, "Over The Hills & Far Away" (haven't heard the Nightwish version yet - should be fantastic)
WASP, "Tie Your Mother Down"
Skrew, "Sympathy For The Devil"
Tiamat, "Sympathy For The Devil"
(actually, I don't like that song as originally written, which is why I don't like the much more faithful Guns n' Roses version)
I'm sure there are plenty more, but I'd have to root through my CD's, and they're upstairs. |

It can be arranged....it's quite un-Yngwie-esque in some ways....you maybe wouldn't even think it was him if you didn't know. I really like it, although I'm a little biased.... |

OK, I just listened to Yngwie's "Keep Yourself Alive" again and I changed my mind...mostly there is no mistaking it for anyone other than Yngwie. He does keep himself quite well reigned in though, and it works out pretty well. |

A few more...
Slayer, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"
Type O "Paranoid", easily the coolest cover ever of this way-over-covered song
Solitude Aeturnus, "Heaven & Hell", "Hallowed Be Thy Name", and that Christian Death song on _Downfall_, I forget the title
Nevermore, "The Sounds Of Silence" (kindasortabutnotreally a cover)
Metal Church, "Highway Star"
X-Cops, "Highway Star"
Testament, "Nobody's Fault" (and you all know how much I, uh, love Aerosmith...) [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]
I'd like to hear that Yngwie version of "Keep Yourself Alive" - my esteem for him just went up a notch. Though it may go down a few notches if it's a butchering... |

Ugly Kid Joe's cover of N.I.B. is pretty cool and Iced Earth of "The Ripper" |
