oh yeah. exodus doin low rider, awesome.
rollins band-do it
anthrax and public enemy-bring on the noise
nashville pussy-highway to hell
jason and the scorchers-take me home country roads
social distortion-ring of fire
metallica-so what
and i could go on and on...i dig other guitarists take on an original and how they play it their own way. I think a good guitarist will always take a good song and make it better. Cheers.

Iron Maidens Dance of Death! played by my girlfriend! im teaching her guitar, and i just taught her the main riff to that song...i was suprised...she got it....she pretty much knows how to play the song chords and all except the solo...which is still amazing i think for someone who has been playing for 2 weeks (she doesnt play as fast...but has the finger work down)

All Along the Watchtower is a must
also, Mary Had A Little Lamb By Buddy Guy, covered by SRV
also Velvet Revolvers cover of Money (Pink Floyd)
and Korn does an amazing cover of Another Brick in the Wall Pts 1,2,3. You wouldn't think of it as being good, but it is absolutely amazing
