    Classic example:
    Dylan's Original (sound, no video)


    Hendrix's Cover


    Even Dylan himself said that Jimi's version was better. It really became his song.

    While we're at it, how about a Young/Springsteen grunge version?

    Effecten: "Thesis 96" Overdrive/Boost (aka DVM OD2), Hardwire DL-8 Digital Delay/Looper, DigiTech Polara Reverb, DigiTech EX-7 Expression Factory and CF-7 Chorus Factory, Danelectro CF-1 Cool Cat Fuzz

    This one is a closer call. Probably depends on my mood which one I would rather listen to as between this one and the next version.

    Racer X's Godzilla (This was the first real shred band that I heard and Paul Gilbert, to this day, remains one of my favourite musicians of all time.)

    I had never heard that Malmsteen cover before. That's crazy.

    Almost forgot about this, going back to All Along the Watchtower, the late Shawn Lane "too many notes" version


    I love shred. I admire Shawn Lane. But for my money, that's not All Along the Watchtower any more. It's just a vehicle for a bunch of notes. I've heard him do far more interesting things with Jimi covers.

    Here's another one. This one's in swedish, written in the very earle 1900's or late 1800's. Very sad lyrics.

    And the cover. Way better IMO

    And this cover by Apocalyptica, four very talented fins featuring Nina Hagen. Apocalyptica's first album is well worth a look.
