Heavy metal/punk legends Motorhead have at the request of wrestler Triple H just recorded and released a cover of a Rolling Stones classic: Sympathy for the Devil.
It is a pretty faithful cover and keeps a great deal of the Rolling Stones vibe to it with the jungle drums this time laid down by drummer Mikkey Dee and the iconic "woo-wooing" in the background. However, at the same time they definitely make it their own with singer and bassist Lemmy Kilmister's beastly vocals and guitarist Phil Campbell's ripping and wailing guitar solos.
While I do give the band props for doing such a fantastic job on this cover, at the same time it does sound a LOT like the Guns N' Roses cover of it that came out in 1994 for the film Interview With a Vampire's soundtrack. The only really noticeable difference is who is doing the vocals and some of the more minor nuances.
This cover will be featured on Motorhead's upcoming album Bad Magic, which will be coming out this Friday. In the mean time however you can pre-order the album on iTunes and Amazon. To listen to the cover you can click here to listen to it on SoundCloud
