When I first heard they'd covered sweet child of mine I was dubious, but it kind of works doesn't it!
Just listened to 'crazy people' off the first album, first time I've listened to that in about 10 years. Brought back alot of memories...actually quite emotional listening to it after so long..
I remember when I first heard that song it was back in 94. Thinking about it that's over half a lifetime ago..made me feel old.
Are we allowed a few more? It's kinda difficult to limit it to One innit.
I’m not a GnR fan so I actually prefer Luna’s version (although I’d like to be able to hear Dinosaur Jr’s version again... embra circa ‘88). I was a Galaxie fan, from Today (which I bought totally on spec from Kevin in Avalanche). God, that’s it I am old...
Game changer...
Dammit Metalheart! Now I have dig out Taken by Trees version.
as per others, I'm not a guitarist but I love this whole album. The guitar more or less replaces the vocalist
SRV is another good shout, as is Chris DeGarmo

you might like this then…
(2 hours listening later). You could say that 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Cheers
If we're talking about ones which I think are most fun to play along to on guitar, then:
Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake
TOOL - Lateralus
Good call nbt. I almost went with Not Of This Earth or Surfing With The Alien.
Could have gone with Steve Vai: Passion & Warfare.
OK continuing the FZ love-in. One of my favourite cover versions and solos. Also one of the best bands ever to be assembled on a stage.
Oh and I mentioned Richard Thompson. Solo at 3:30 but I recommend the whole track.
@Malvern: I kind of had a feeling you might like it 🤣
Iirc, Moon Palace, on the same album, also features Tom...

Metalheart is responsible for me spending 3 hours relearning Sharp Dressed Man. The Gibbons and John F vid followed his linked vid. It's the first vid where I've seen Gibbons playing the complete riff live and he uses a couple of cheats that make it much easier. Ta, metalheart.
Billy Gibbons is a genius for taking comparatively simple stuff and making it sound awesome. Gorgeous tone on this:
Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place.
I didn’t mean to turn this in to a zz love-in (isn’t that usually CfH’s job?).
Here’s some antidote (🤪) and was my introduction to them in the first place. I guess my heart will always lie here (Steve showing he’s studied the Andy Gill playbook...)

iirc Steve’s guitar has an alu neck (possibly the body too) which is how it sounds so trebleee...
Gutted I couldn’t go n see Shellac a few weeks back.
Have some Bill Carter
Bombino
Mahegagh
From the album Agadez
Any album by John Fahey!
A truely original guitarist whose music in his own words always somehow ends up sounding like death.
Lots of insperation in this thread.
Fire and Water is my current go to:
