    OK, what songs have these lines in them ? ( editing to mark the ones that have been 'got' , it's only four, every correct answer gets you points that you can exchange for valuable prizes !!! ( well, actually, no )) 1 - bang bang, blow you away - Modern Day Cowboy, Tesla. 2 - so give her inches, and feed her well - Rock you like a hurricane, scorpions 3 - you make me itch, baby you're so unkind 4 - my mother was a witch - Am I Evil, Metallica 5 - my tearless retina takes pictures that can prove 6 - he got facial recognition 7 - I'm coming on like a hurricane 8 - I raise a glass to all of us, who are breaking our backs every day 9 - gives me a squeeze, gets me kickin the walls 10 - I knew right from the start, she put an arrow in my heart 11 - got his finger on a photo from an old magazine, saw himself in the shadow of a dream - Take a Long Line, the Angels 12 - They tell me how I have to see, the things that I have seen already clear 13 - her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place, where as a child, I'd hide - Sweet Child O Mine, Guns n Roses 14 - as the priest comes to read me the last rites, I take a look through the bars at the last sights - Hallowed be thy name, Iron Maiden 15 - so now you know, you created me on the day that you were born 16 - you say you don't wanna starve or take the table crumbs that fall 17 - heirs of the cold war, that's what we've become 18 - watch the damned, they're gonna break their chains 19 - Park Avenue leads to skid row 20 - name dropping no-names, glamourise cocaine. 21 - Got the boys, to make the noise. Now, the big question, if a cover band was going to play those songs, would you go and see them ? <-- No-one has answered this yet.

                *grin* yeah, I knew only an Aussie would get that one. You know, I recently bought a CD I already had to get the words to Mr Damage ? Every set of words I've seen for that song on the web, are totally, totally wrong. And then they didn't play it when I saw them in Adelaide last week. Great live band tho ( they finished with Take a Long Line )

                  Nope, the Angels were IMO the best Aussie pub rock band ever, way better than AC/DC, they mostly didn't do as well b/c their lyrics were too intelligent.

                                  Well done. I saw these guys at Rocklahoma and they were *amazing*. I got the idea to do this quiz b/c I was practicing the solo to that song, sitting here waiting for source code to upload to a server. The songs are all songs I can play BTW, that's why I asked if people would see a band that covered those songs, it's my planned setlist.

                                      5: is Judas Priest... Electric Eye? I'm Electric? Can't remember the name of the song, but it's definitely Priest!

                                        Given the talent, variety and extremity of the bands represented even in the songs we recognize I'd say any cover band attempting all these would either be so unmissable as to be stars in their own right or absolutely awfull which is much more likely. One of the reasons that Metallica remain a legend and G'n'R have a huge fan base after producing nothing for 13+ years is that what they do is unique, it can't be replicated or surpassed by others let alone a cover band. So no I would not go to see a cover band fail to live up to the performances required to emulate these greats, but if somebody trully could, you couldn't drag me away. :)
