[Erk]

I'm gonna do a music quiz for a small party and since none of the others are into metal that won't work, but I thought I could throw in a bit of metal anyway. My idea is that I play covers of famous songs done by metal bands and ask questions about the original bands etc. But I could use some help coming up with covers.

So far I have:

Therion: Abba - Summernight city
Slow Horse: Chrisk Isaak - Wicked Game
Candlemass: Bellman - Epistle 81 (works beacuse I'm from Sweden)'
Judas Priest - Chuck Berry - Johnny be good
Place of Skulls: The Animals - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Blind Guardian: Beach Boys  - Surfin USA
Trouble: Beatles - Get Back
Voodooshock: The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin
Witchfynde: The Rolling Stones - Paint it Black

It would be great with some help!

Thanks!

Iron Savior - This Flight Tonight (Nazareth/Joni Mitchell)

Oh my God, Blind Guardian's cover of Mr. Sandman is priceless.

Another good one i haven't seen yet is Vanden Plas's cover of the Kansas song "Point of Know Return"

Oh, man is that cover awesome!

[Phoenix]

HammerFall's cover of "My Sharona" is awful.

But I always like Mystic Prophecy's take on "Paranoid."

[Warhammer]

Icarus Witch's cover of "Mirror, Mirror" by Def Lepard is pretty good. At Vance does a decent cover of Abba's "Money, Money."

[Chris Foley]

Icarus Witch's cover of "Mirror, Mirror" by Def Lepard is pretty good. At Vance does a decent cover of Abba's "Money, Money."

At Vance also do "The Winner Takes it All" by Abba, and a quality version of Rainbow's "I Surrender"

I'll also add;

Heathen - Set Me Free (Sweet)

[Warhammer]

"The Winner Takes it All" by Abba

  The vocals on that one is unmatched.

Sanctuary - White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane cover)
