-The band played this one live already in 1998. It was originally recorded during the Hatebreeder session, but was re-recorded in 2000 during the Hate Me! session since the band wasn't happy with the first recording. Released on the Hate Me! single and some editions of Follow The Reaper.

Don't Stop At The Top (Scorpions cover / Savage Amusement album) 2000
-Released on the Scorpions tribute album, the Deluxe Edition of Something Wild and the Finnish version of Follow The Reaper. Actually the song was going to appear on the Hate Me! single together with the King Diamond cover, but this idea was soon abandoned.

-Klamydia is a Finnish punk band. Vesku Jokinen (their singer) invited Alexander to play guitar on the Klamydia EP Seokset but Alexander insisted to get an opportunity to record a song with the whole band. Was recorded in a very short time, almost with one take only.

Bed Of Nails (Alice Cooper cover / Trash album) 2004
-After the first Alice Cooper cover song (The Man Behind The Mask) which the band recorded in 2002 during the Hate Crew Deathroll studio sessions wasn't good enough for the band, they decided to cover another song by the shock rocker. The version of Bed Of Nails pleased the whole band and was released on the Trashed, Lost & Strungout EP.
She Is Beautiful (Andrew W.K. cover / I Get Wet album) 2004
-Recorded in spring 2004 for the Trashed, Lost & Strungout EP with the Alice Cooper song. Alexi first had to convince some of the other members to cover this song. Alexi already played that song live with Andrew W. K. on the USA tour in spring 2004. Andrew is a huge fan of COB's music by the way.

i have both covers. firstly, i knew the final countdown wasnt bodom cuz they did the synth line with a guitar (which is better than the original song anyway
) for the trooper cover, it's obvious that's not alexi. plus the guitarists keep forgetting they're detuned and it ends up sounding like shit.

It's so goddamn cathy, the catchiest I've ever heard; that's why the 80's kicked ass. And for the video: it's just so gay it's funny. I have it on my pc and wank to it daily, along with Right Said Fred's 'I'm too sexy.' 
Oh yeah: QFT? WTF?
yeah i knew that norther did the final countdown, cuz i got the Dreams of endless war album with that track along with youth gone wild. skid row cover..fucking sick! \m/. .
and the Trooper cover i did think was bodom...haha sorry but i fucking thought that cover kicked ass... :Spin:
