I must say this version is fabulous, but I'm sorry no one can outdo donny's

He did this on Conan O'brien show and I've been trying to find that one ever since. I grew up on metal and hard rock...i very early learned to drop labels and not limiting myself to liking ONLY those types of music. I enjoy GOOD MUSIC. This is good music! The guitarist BLEW ME AWAY on Conan!!! He turn up a guitar solo that made me said, "Jean Claude Van Damme!!!"
Been searching for that performance ever since.
