The Unknown Cover: The Case Of The Unidentifiable Headbanger
Remember the Audiogalaxy era, when badly tagged MP3s credited to the wrong artists would travel around the Internet willy-nilly, with no one correctly ID’ing their ID3 tags? We do, all too well. That’s why we’ve launched “The Unknown Cover,” where we enlist our readers’ vast knowledge in the effort to match incorrectly tagged songs from peer-to-peer searches gone by to their proper artists. (Feel free to send in your own.) Here’s an entry from a reader who calls himself The Hardcore Midget:
I downloaded this song a few years back, seeing that it was credited to Zakk Wylde. It’s not even him playing the guitar, you can tell. However, it’s not a bad 80s metal/pop song. Any idea?
We’re stumped, although perhaps the song’s author is in hiding because he realized that any royalties he’d make from this song would have to be handed over to Billy Squier immediately. This song’s chorus bites from “The Stroke” even more than “Fix Up, Look Sharp” does!
