My Chemical Romance, the Used, American Football and more have breathed new life into these classic songs.

Music lives on in the hearts and soul. With the news of Scott Weiland's death, I have gathered a tribute of other musicians playing his songs.

This is the perfect way to relive those golden years back in the '90s before you hardened your heart and started listening exclusively to death metal. It's a metal guitar version of your 12-year-old self's favorite song -- 'Barbie Girl' by Scandinavian dance-pop group Aqua.

Just when we thought America's favorite video game, 'Super Mario Bros.,' couldn't get any better -- enter YouTube's 311Erock, aka rocker Eric Calderone. In this video, Eric shows us that not all metal riffs and/or tones are used for moshing, horror movies and making parents angry.
