Not sure if this has been discussed already or not but i just saw that metal band Anthrax released a covers album this summer called Anthems that has a cover of 'Keep On Runnin'!

[No Surprize]

Damn that was spot on! The dude sounds better than the 4"2" asian for sure!

The strange thing is Anthrax must not get a lot of promotion these days which is sad considering they were one of the 'Big 4' metal bands to come out of the eighties along with Metallica,Slayer and Megadeth.They were once a platinum selling metal band and were pretty big in the late 80's/early 90's but nowadays they probably don't sell much even though they just did a tour with the Big 4 where all four bands played.I had no idea this covers album was even out until i was browsing Anthrax history on wikipedia and saw where it had been released.Back in the day Anthrax vocalist Joey Belladonna let it slip in a magazine interview that he was a huge Journey fan and that everyone in the band gave him shit for it.All the other members are huge KISS freaks and covered KISS tune 'Parasite' on their first covers album 'Attack of the Killer B's' back in 1991.

Anthrax has also covered "Love Her All I Can" which had Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley sitting in on the song and I believe they may have covered "She" as well.
