hanoi rocks-up around the bend - such an amazing cover for sure.

I always really liked Radar Love by White Lion🤘 many thanks as always guys

The Keel cover of Patti Smith's Because The Night is a favorite of mine!

Skid Row’s version of Holiday In The Sun from the Sex Pistols was absolutely killer

I never knew little suzi was a cover until very recently. I was honestly shocked.

This channel is awesome i grew up in the hair metal years what a great time these kids nowadays have no idea what they missed the great music great rock clubs KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK IM GONNA SAY SKID ROW DELIVERING THE GOODS WAS KILLER

I freaking love this channel ! By the way, I loved Heavy Metal Rambo ! Fantastic !!!!

I remember Goodbye T’ Jane actually was a single for Brit Fox back in the day but maybe I’m wrong. I know we played the hell out of it on the radio.

Great episode Guru! I'm totally there with you on a few things: first off You're So Vain is awesome I've always liked the FP version of that song. And on that note I've always thought one of the bands that really grew into their sophomore album was FP on Wake Me When It's Over. I've replaced that cd twice in my collection it gets played that much. Just a bunch of weird garage sleeze metal and nearly every track on that album is completely different sounding. I also agree on Johnny B Goode by Priest. Ram It Down is such a killer album - very heavy and Glenn's guitar tone is just so compressed and distorted. I actually go back and forth between liking Ram It Down more than Painkiller sometimes. A few cover songs I really enjoy from that era are: No More Mr. Nice Guy (Megadeth), Hang on St. Christopher (BulletBoys), and Motley's version of Tonight (originally by The Rasperries). When it comes to more modern metal covers I've always thought Deadsy's version of Tom Sawyer was so heavy and so cool. I just crank that one so loud when I listen to it. Go check it out man! Keep the episodes coming, and keep rockin!

My favorite is GNR's cover of "Human Being" because it introduced me to the New York Dolls - who have been like my favorite band ever since, and I thank GNR for the gift.

Def Leppard's cover of Action by The Sweet is killer. It was a B-side from Adrenalize and then put on RetroActive. Still shows up from time to time in the live set too.

Great video guys! I've been enjoying the collaborations you've been doing lately.

Great episode as always! Ryan is influenced by Scott, Neil, Polly and Elliot but pulls off sounding like Tim Skold from Shotgun Messiah. And that’s a damn good thing. Some I’d ad: No Matter What - Lillian Axe (shocked that didn’t make either list) Game of War - Shake City Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers - Tesla Can You Feel It - Rikki Rocket Stay With Me - Def Leppard with Phil Collin singing. Mrs Robinvon - Kik Tracee There is more but I’ll stop now…

Another great episode Anthony. You & Ryan compliment each other quite well. Blew my mind when you said Little Suzi. Didn't know that was a cover. Tesla nailed it with that one. Thanks for the great watch !!

I love Mr. Guru & all of his fuck*ng videos, watch themm all, everything, start to finish. Girl 'My number' covered by Lillian Axe can't be far from me whenever 'Cover ' songs came into my mind. 'Gudbye T Jane' by Britny Fox is a killer.

I love a good cover. I have an extensive playlist on Spotify of covers. I left off most of the famous covers because I'm burnt out on a lot of them. I'll throw some of my faves out here. Babylon (New York Dolls)----Shotgun Messiah 25 or 6 to 4 (Chicago)----Vince Neil (bonus track on import versions of Exposed,) Squeeze Box (The Who)----Roxy Blue Tears of a Clown (Smokey Robinson)----Enuff ZNuff Shy Boy (Talas)----David Lee Roth (kind of a cheat since Billy Sheehan was in Talas) The next 2 aren't, strictly speaking, bands but I think these covers still qualify- Wild Thing (The Troggs)----Sam Kineson (C.C. DeVille on guitar) Runaway (Del Shannon)----Luis Cardinas (his debut album is an overlooked hair metal gem) Great show, as usual. KInda surprised "The She Kissed Me" and "Leader of the Pack" didn't make the cut. JUST KIDDING!!!! LOL

WOW! Never knew Ice Cream was a cover..humm. Just listened to the original, very good and bluesy.

I used to really like Badfinger's No Matter What but man, Lillian Axe nailed it. Kind of surprised you didn't pick that one but My Number is equally awesome. I'm pretty sure they were playing that song with Johnny Vines when there were called Stiff. Could be wrong tho. Love your content

Once again, I see the thumbnail and instantly write down my list and just start crossing them off as you say them. I stayed away from songs on cover albums that bands put out and stuck to tracks on original albums and b-sides from the “cassingle” days. No particular order, Kik Tracee - Mrs Robinson (Simon & Garfunkel) , White Lion - Radar Love (Golden Earring) , Sweet F.A. - Momma Told Me Not To Come (Three Dog Night) , Stryper - Shining Star (Earth Wind & Fire) , Warrant - We Will Rock You (Queen) , Slamming Gladys - Piece Of My Heart (Janis Joplin) , Black Robot - Cocaine (Eric Clapton) , Mr. Big - 30 Days In The Hole (Humble Pie) and lastly a trifecta from Tesla - Games People Play (Joe South) , Cotton Fields (CCR) and Children’s Heritage (Bloodrock). I’m pretty sure all of these are right here on KZfaq

Damn guru. I made up a list before I watched the episode and it pretty much was your list except a couple was different but I just decided not to list it lol. I even had britny fox good bye to Jane. You definitely can do a part two

Love love House of Lords good pick. I saw Pretty Boy Floyd on that tour. Someone spray painted their name on the venue with pink spray paint. Good times.Guns and Roses rules so screw you. Lol

I love poison cover of american band, judas priest green manalishi ( with a 2 prong crown).hey guru have u heard jani lane band saints of the underground song all in how u wear it. I love that song. Fyi my name is Anthony also. I love ur dog. Her puppys r going to be adorable. Do u like the new bach songs. Have u heard buck cherry highway star . I almost forgot about ratts walking the dog. Tesla's reel to real is two rockin cd. Beer drinkers and hell raisers. Love the channel

I love the movie Johnny Be Good, then again, I'm an 80's teen. The cover was good also. Just different.

Another kick ass video baby!

Love this channel. How about a Uk Bands episode? .....Thunder, Little Angels, The Almighty, Quireboys etc 🤘🏼👍🏼

Awesome episode and great picks all, specially Johnny B Goode who doesn’t get the love from hardcore Priest fans. Staying in the movies wheelhouse, I personally love Poison’s Rock And Roll All Night from Less Than Zero and GnR’s Knocking On Heaven’s Door from Days of Thunder (cleaner and shorter version than the one on Use Your Illusion II) On the “better than original” category, IMO, White Lion made Radar Love better and Poison made Your Mama Don’t Dance way better for as cheesy as it is. 🔥🤘🏻

I'm a metalhead from Switzerland and absolutly love Johnny be good by Judas Priest!! Loved it since the release of Ram It Down and also ever wondered by people hate it. It's so fantastic done. Killer guitars, incredible vocals and so great ideas overall. So great to hear that there are other people who love this cover version. And thank you for the great video! My favourite cover missing on this video from you: W.A.S.P. - When The Levee Breaks (Led Zeppelin Cover, incredible version), on youtube if someone wants to check

I haven't really listened to rock after 1991....why I was a teen in the 80's and I couldn't bring myself to grunge or whatever was out. I did listen to the Skid Row's album released, what a about a year or two ago. I like it. Although the lead singer is not there now due to illness.

Mahogany Rush's live version of Johnny B Goode is totally killer!! Def Leppard's cover of "Personal Jesus", and Type O Negative's cover of "Cinnamon Girl" are tops!

Wow, just checked out that 1994 Shy album - Did they not know it was 1994?!? Good for them for being true to their sound. Sounds like classic hair metal from 1988.

I did not know that Little Suzie is a cover! I've had the album since it came out!

Slade - Run Runaway - Just listened for the first time damn that's catchy.

Love this channel @hairmetalguru keep up the good work

My top ten before getting past your number 9s. Bulletboys - For the Love of Money White Lion - Radar Love Jason McMaster - Let It Go Little Caesar - Chain of Fools Great White - Babe (I'm Gonna Leave You) House of Lords - Can't Find My Way Home Tesla - Signs Faster Pussycat - You're So Vain Steel Dragons - We All Die Young Badlands - Fire and Rain Honorable non-Hair Metal Metallica Breadfan Metallica Am I Evil

Nowhere man, from the beginning, bus stop,one,all from Dokken if you can't tell I am a dokken fan,I am not only putting these in my message, I really think these songs are great

@ Ryan: The singer for SHY - "Welcome to the madhouse" was *Jon Wardi Ward* . Lee Small came about 13 years later to the band... @HairMetalGuru: Not wanting to correct you, but that SHY album came out (here) in Europe as SHY as usual and only in the US as *SHY (England)* because some other band had the name copyrighted before them. That album "Misspent youth" had a terrible sound, one of the worst ever, I never could get over it, especially since those two songs mentioned are really great. Seriously, what the hell were MCA thinking releasing it like this?!? (That what I am saying is for the record in Europe released as SHY! The "Shy England" version you are talking about has a (much) better sound and the songs are reorchestrated!) This needs to be said since I guess you ( in America) are not aware of the two different versions of this record. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' *Steve Harris and Tony Mills : Rest in Peace*

Love WASP s cover of “ The Real Me “ by The Who , top 40 hit in the Uk.

Mind absolutely blown that Little Suzi is a cover.

I am a huge megadeth fan ,I have never heard that cover of peace sells that is my all time favorite megadeth song

I remember when I learned Little Suzi was a cover like it was a few seconds ago watching this video😂. I'm surprised no picks for W.A.S.P. They had a bunch of good ones

My favorite band was Great White and they recorded more cover songs than any other band i can think of. My favorite is "somebody to love" by Jefferson Airplane.

I had no idea my fave hardline song is a cover😮 not sure how I feel about that..😂

Let's see if Cinderella's version of Jumpin Jack Flash makes it! It's great!

Bon Jovi's 'Boys are Back in Town' is a banger!!!! 🤘🏼🎉

House of Lords' version of Stan Bush's Love Don't Lie is great too.

This is James Anthony Britny Fox debut album did go gold on December 21 1988

Another great Slade cover is Lion's version of Lock Up Your Daughters.

Lita Ford - Only Women Bleed

Tears of a clown - Enuff Z’Nuff is a great cover.

How about Dangerous Toys Feel Like Makin Love and Tesla Games People Play?

You all might hate this band, and a lot of people do...Stryper, in 2010 or so they did a cover tribute album called "The Covering" for a Christian Metal band, they covered a lot of bands on it.

Even the guys from Judas Priest think it was a terrible cover. Great Covers Kik Tracee - Mrs. Robinson Faster Pussycat - Your So Vain Judas Priest - Green Manalishi

Now if you were a teen in the 80's and Appetite for Destruction (G n' R") dropped, you were blown away. I do understand why some people don't like their music....outside of Appetite I really don't care for their other stuff.

I never understood David Lee Roth being listed as a bad vocalist. I enjoy that it’s unique, rough and total rock and roll. With that said…I also don’t understand the hate for CC’s guitar playing and the love for Mick Mars. As a trained guitarist since I was 5 years old, I’ll take CC over Mick every day. And I’ll take DLR over Sammy.

Kiss- God Gave Rock n Roll to You

Johnny B Goode by Judas Priest is awesome man !!!

The lyrics on those first 3 Krokus albums are so cringy. Seriously go read the lyrics to just the first 2 albums and try not to laugh lol. Just the song Mr. 69 would make Steel Panther seem serious lol. Smelly Nelly and Mad Racket are hilarious to. Love this show by the way. It’s right up my alley👍🏼

Watching this made me realize that I really dislike cover songs for the most part. Some absolutely phenomenal albums were mentioned here, but I thought the covers were the weakest tracks on them. In particular - 'Shy' "Welcome to the Madhouse" and 'Shark Island' "Law of the Order".

Shy did a much better cover - Cliff Richard's Devil Woman. Do you know Cliff in the US? He was the UK's version of Elvis (without any of the danger) and has had hits in every decade since the 50s I think. Anyway, this was a great cover of a decent song. Misspent Youth had an awful production that essentially killed the band. They were on the verge and this album killed them.

im not a fan of bands putting cover versions on their albums. bonus track, b-side or cover album then fine but not on album. id rather they just give me another original track.

Hair metal was meant as a derogatory term and I hate it being used. There was no genre or sub genre called hair metal.

Priest cover is awful

i always felt skid row and L.A. Guns and Def Leppard were great at doing covers and making them better then the originals. Here are a few from them that i really enjoy. Skid Row "c'mon and love me" by Kiss "What your doing" by Rush "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix L.A. Guns "I'd Love to change the world" "Until I Get You" by Hanori Rocks Def Leppard "Hanging on the Telephone" by Blondie "Waterloo Sunset" by the Kinks
