Right, gonna hog this thread for a bit. I played the Virus 100 album to death when it first came out. I'll just stick to the more unusual ones here:

That's the best tune on that live album tbf. Played it to death when I was 14.

There was that horrible time in metal though when loads of bands released covers albums/eps to show how sensitive they were. Skid Row's Little Wing It was usually part of the acoustic bit when everybody sat on stools. Maybe the unplugged thing was to blame.

I've got the mini cd Little wing come off...B-Side Ourselves...to be honest that's the weakest song on it.....I put their version of 'C'mon and love me' earlier in the thread. They do a cracking version of 'Delivering the goods' on it...I might slap that up at another time
I blame Extreme! They started all this 'fanny rock' with their Only words

Thank you, Purdie for liking my 'dodgy cover'
That's 2 of us with no taste!

Worked in a rock music pub for years. I do know a good cover when I hear one. Couldn't take the vid but enjoyed it all the way through for the rest

Yeah the vid was a bit cheesy, but to be honest that's Thunder's sense of humour.
I love listening to Danny Bowes on Planet Rock....he's a lovely funny man

I suppose you'd call this a hybrid. Although I'm sure some would call it something else
