Train Kept A Rollin' Covers

Maybe it is not the most covered rock'n'roll song in history, but it's incredible how it has been covered by enough important groups with totally different styles. It's curious that, no matter how rock'n'roll changes through decades, it "updates" this song somehow. Like if it weren't necessary more than this song and all these covers to see how rock changes.

Last April, when Metallica and Jeff Beck entered R'N'R Hall of Fame, everybody who was there for the show covered this song.

That is: Metallica + Jason Newsted + Jeff Beck + Flea + Jimmy Page + Ron Wood
