Let's not forget W.A.S.P. and Glen Tipton. I'll definately try to get something recorded for this one. I feel like I should morph this cover into something totally unrecognizable. But we'll see...

I'll second that, still 7 days just about to get your entrys in guys :thumb:

I'm mixing my version tonight. It's "Paint it Black" performed by my band, live studio recording. I am on the drums on this one, does this still qualify for entry?
