BTW...Billy Roberts wrote 'Hey Joe' and it was first covered in a rock style by the Standells on their Dirty Water album.

Yeah...it was covered by many.
 
"Roberts' song gained fans in the Los Angeles music scene of the mid-1960s, which led to fast-paced recordings in 1965 and 1966 by The Leaves, The Standells, The Surfaris, Love, The Music Machine, and The Byrds, swiftly making the song a garage rock classic."
And of course Hendrix shortly after.

Korni Grupa, Sonata (1969), Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata cover.
 
 
 
 
In one night,
I keep coming back,
And again I hear the sound of the piano.
These tears, the other world,
One child,
One man and sonata ...
These were long hours of crazy fantasies,
The long hours in solitude, one love ...
Wonderful joy that, that's all there splendor
These sonatas ...

In one night, I keep thinking back,
And again I hear the sound of the piano.
Those tears, another world,
One child, one man and sonata ...

These were long hours of crazy fantasies,
The long hours in solitude one love ...
Wonderful joy that, that's all,
There shine and sonatas ...

This has always been a favorite of mine:


A great faster cover or the Scorpions classic:


And of course Helloween's great cover of the Focus classic, they even nailed the yodels!:

Korni Grupa, Etida, live 2013, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata cover...
 
 
 

In the silence some ancient thoughts flow,
They take me back to the days when I was a child.
And I admired to the infinitely comforting sounds
Of a young soul.
The girl played the most beautiful etude
For days in a dark room behind a piano.
In the delirium of that music, the spring left
Yellow autumn came.

Those were good times
While I loved secretly
And I imagined her as she walked alone through fields.
I look at her face, her thin waste,
In the grass she fell asleep on my palm.

Those were good times
While I loved secretly,
While I drank thirstily each word coming out her mouth.
Nights in work, and days in dreaming,
In the piano room I sit alone, without her.

Aaaa...aAaAaaaaAAaaA...AaAaAaaA

 
 
 
 
 
 
...And the original version of the cover of Beethowen's Moonlight Sonata by Korni Grupa from 1973

A bit too emotive for my taste. LOL

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
