Sweet Child o' Mine

Just one of those all time great metal classics by Guns 'n Roses:



And some covers:

The following nostalgic version is by Taken by Trees, with Victoria Bergman, former lead singer of the Swedish indie-pop band, Concretes:



My favourite cover is probably the one by Sheryl Crow:



Acoustic guitar player Trace Bundy's cover is something truly exquisite.



Adam DeGraff of The Duelling Fiddlers does a mind-blowing violin interpretation.



Following is an advertisement using sitars and in an Indo-Asian style. I wish they had made a complete version of the song. I think the singer is supposed to be Ali Akbar Khan.



New Age pianist Scott Davis does a beautiful piano rendition:



And just to prove that this song is inherently so resilient to corruption, it can even make that precarious transition to electro-dance remixing, here is a Flat Pack version featuring Katty Heath:



Then again, some dance versions ought to be avoided.

And for a little comedy, that cringing scene from the movie Step Brothers:



I'm sad to say that this scene has gone viral.
