Song You Need To Listen To

So I listen to a lot of really rare music and shit, so I am going to put some rare stuff you might or might not have heard down below and you can comment what you think in the comments because I really am interested to hear what you guys think. There is going be rare stuff by popular bands and rare stuff by rare bands. 

Rock Bottom (intro)- KISS

Ace Frehley has always been one of my favorite guitarists ever and I love him very much, but I think most people think of him as the dumb drunk (which is not true), but in this intro you can hear the real emotion he puts into it.

Silver Salmon- Queen (unreleased)

Honestly the vocals are so different in this song from anything Freddie ever did (except maybe See What a Fool I've Been). The bass sticks out (in a good way). The guitar is very much in-fashion with the late 70s and I think a lot people didn't think Brian could play that syle, but he did and the drums they're just fucking awesome. 

Here to Mars- Coheed and Cambria

Coheed and Cambria is one of my favorite bands ever, but I love Claudio Sanchez so much. He sings with so much emotion and I love their song so much. Just listening to this gives me chills. 

Forever All Over Again- Night Ranger

I love Night Ranger so fucking much. I actually got into Night Ranger because their singer, Jack Blades (also from Damn Yankees), but now I'd actually say Kelly Keagy is my favorite and I prefer his vocals to Jack's, but regardless this song is amazing and it's actually my breakup song. 

He Carve His Stone- Savatage

This song is so fucking amazing. I love Jon Oliva's vocals so much, but Zachary Stevens is in my opinion a better vocalist. Criss' shreddy, but fucking awesome guitar is amazing, but then it can also be very melodic, which is also amazing. Edge of Thorns is my favorite Savatage album mainly because "there's a lot less cellos" DieHardTheHunter completely understands that reference. 

Wait for Sleep/Surrounded- Dream Theater (Live) 

In my opinion, this is the best Dream Theater lineup, the two best Dream Theater songs, and Images and Words is obviously the best album from them. Overall, this performance is rad as hell and the vocals are amazing.  A lot of people hate James' vocals, but in my opinion they are fucking great (despite the food poisoning issues with his throat).

When You Cross My Mind- John Deacon

Surprise! For those of you who haven't stalked John Deacon, he released a solo album in 2004. It's different than I expected, but I listened to the entire album and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately John didn't sing on this album, but it was all by John and he played on all the songs. 

Only Thing- Metallica (Unreleased)

So this was the original Welcome Home (Sanitarium) and Orion, but eventually they made it into two songs. This was done with terrible equipment, so James' voice overpowered to microphone and it sounded fucked up, but this demo kicks ass. 

Institutionalized- Suicidal Tendencies 

So Robert Trujillo's first band was Suicidal Tendencies ^^. I honestly fucking love Suicidal Tendencies, and Institutionalized is so fucking relatable, except I'm not crazy. Anyway Suicidal Tendencies is definitely one of my favorite speed metal bands.

Goin' Back- Freddie Mercury (Original tape, released under the name of Larry Lurex)

This is a higher key than the one that you've heard (if you heard the original Larry Lurex version). This was recorded before John Deacon joined Queen, but Brian is on guitar, Roger is on drums, and Mike Grose is on bass.
