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"
