Some friends,and I were thinking about putting together a compilation of Heavy Metal/Hard Rock/Punk bands who have played either covers of surf songs or inspired original surf instro tunes.I was thinking along the lines of the likes of Hanoi Rocks"Pipeline" ,and Anthrax "Pipeline".If any of you want to help me come up with a list of songs please feel free make suggestions.

Stuff like this? Could tracks like Maiden's "Transylvania" or "Genghis Khan" make your list? If so, add Angel Witch's "Dr. Phibes" to your list. The Descendents have a cool unlisted, untitled surf song that occurs at around the 2:40 mark during the run out of the last song ("Thank You") on their "Everything Sux" record. — |

That first Angel Witch album is a kajillion times better than any metal cover of a surf song you're gonna find. edit: And why the hell is this in Show Announcements? -Warren —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

I liked Slayer's cover of Richie Podolor's Voodoo Juice. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

I'm kidding about Slayer...I'd like to hear that though. But seriously, I think you are only going to have a handful of Pipeline covers on your CD-R. Oh, you also said surf inspired. That's a bit harder to prove, probably. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Wasn't there an interview in Guitar Player with the guitar player in Motely Crue saying he loved surf music? Or am I thinking of someone else? —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

What Brian said. There's plenty of killer metal instros but surf-inspired? Nah. -Warren —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

I don't think Muse is really a metal band, but their cover of Man of Mystery could be considered hard rock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-6h2mtVR2Q —Plus! Other stuff not surf: https://soundcloud.com/jamesmileshq |

Johnny Thunders (former New York Doll) does a great version of "Pipeline' on his 'So Alone' release. |

O.T. I believe the Lively Ones do it as an instrumental. Not bad at all, though I'm not sure I don't prefer Bob Vaught & the Renegaids' take on Surfin' Safari. |

Not instro-surf, and not heavy metal, but it's worth mentioning the Ramone's cover of Surfin' Bird. — |

Hmmm... okay, that`s not a so called surf song, but have you listened to "Merciless Onslaught" from Metal Church from 1985? Instrumental killer track! I think sometimes of doing surf covers from metal (Thrash/Speed) songs. I think some day we will do a side project called "Stormtroopers Of Surf" or "Surftroopers Of Death" Yeah!!!
