Best Cover Songs on the Album 're-Machined: A Tribute to Deep Purple's Machine Head'

This tribute album came out in 2012 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic Deep Purple album (1972).

The Top Ten

1 When a Blind Man Cries - Metallica

It was so good they also included it on Hardwired to Self Destructs Deluxe Edition along with Ronnie Rising Medley, Lords of Summer, and Remember Tomorrow

Once again Metallica prove they are one of the best bands for cover songs.

2 Highway Star (Live) - Chickenfoot

A big surprise for me, I didn't even know this band but yeah, their cover rocks and it's a live version. Joe Satriani, baby!

3 Space Truckin' - Iron Maiden

4 Lazy - Jimmy Barnes, Joe Bonamassa, Brad Whitford & Anton Fig

Never heard this version before. Sounds good already just from the people covering it.

5 Maybe I'm a Leo - Glenn Hughes, Chad Smith & Luis Maldonado

Glenn Hughes was a Deep Purple member for a while - bassist and backing vocalist but on this cover he provided lead vocals and bass.

6 Highway Star - Steve Vai, Glenn Hughes, Chad Smith & Lachlan Doley

Bonus track on Classic Rock Magazine Fan Pack.

7 Smoke On the Water - Carlos Santana, Jacoby Shaddix & Dennis Chambers

8 Never Before - Kings of Chaos

9 Pictures of Home - Black Label Society

10 Smoke On the Water - The Flaming Lips & Gibby Haynes

What the hell were they thinking?
