It's one of those insanely overplayed songs. When I grew up,
almost anyone with a guitar would practice the main riff, and I can't
count the number of times it has been played in a music class at school. It is
a great song, but my perception of it is very much affected by the
above. Apart from that, I really enjoy the Machine Head album overall. I don't
know if I can find a cover version I can stand, but the main riff
reappears in the chorus of this song by the legendary Danish "so bad it's good" band Red

Some really good and funny ones there. I guess it's a sign of the song's greatness that you can make it instantly recognizable in different styles. This one's not a cover but has the same name. The band also have an original track titled Freebird. |

This one tops them all, try and watch all the way through or skip to around 02:40 when he puts a leather jacket on. |

| there are very few good Deep Purple covers, most bands that cover DP don't have keyboards and underestimate Jon Lord's input in DP's music and the bands that have a keyboardist, well the keyboardists don't do justice to Jon Lord in any way. |
