What came up online was a live performance, link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EWqTym2cQU<br /><br />I could not remember hearing the song before, surprisingly, but totally enjoyed it! Their facial expressions are inimitable, though how Angus Young's head is still attached to his body is a puzzle to me. <br /><br />While doing a workout later in my office with my wife (dumbbells and stuff) I played the video above and she liked it, so I followed it up with Hells Bells live from 2009, which she totally dug. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEPmA3USJdI<br /><br />Anyway, many thanks for the wonderful recommendation!Craig S.

I will check these guys out. Pumping iron to AC/DC counts BTW--especially if its "If You Want Blood (You Got It)."Brian Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563309422791320114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-65411286615274978102021-04-05T16:37:54.366-04:002021-04-05T16:37:54.366-04:00Hey Brian,

I confess I'm not a heavy metal fan--though I do love pumping iron to AC/DC, if that counts--but this riff on Conan et al was really out there and fun in a crazy way. Then, later the same day, I discovered the following:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU6Jgn4scdM<br /><br />This is a heavy metal cover of Wardruna's awe-inspiring "Helvegen". (If you don't know, Wardruna is a neo-pagan/Norse/Viking inspired band out of Norway, I think.) <br /><br />Here's the original Helvegen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD65K4VR6Lw<br /><br />I have to say I REALLY enjoyed the metal cover! The only thing missing was the guy smashing his guitar at the end, or setting a tree on fire (provided he had an extinguisher on hand, of course).<br /><br />Anyway, I hope you enjoy these offerings.<br /><br />Regards as always,<br />Craig Craig S.
