Right -- oops, sorry, by Beethoven. My bad.

No, I haven't, the reason being that BEETHOVEN, not Bach, was the person who popularized the "Ode to Joy" theme in the 4th movement of his 9th symphony. But no, I haven't heard any cool metal versions of that lately. I heard a metal version of Mozart's Turkish March recently that was very interesting.

Probably not. The "Ode to Joy" is from the final movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony. That's Ludwig von Beethoven, not Johann Sebastian *or any other) Bach. The lyrics are from a poem, "Ode to Joy", by Friedriech Schiller and read in part, as:
Freude, schoene goetterfunken
Tochter aus Elysium
Wir betreten, feuertrunken,
Himmlische dein heiligtum.
With apologies for my doubtlessly flawed spelling of the German.

Not a hard rock n roll version, but recall an instrumental that was a big hit in the 70s called "Song of Joy" by Apollo 100...it is rock/pop version of 'Ode to Joy' by Beethoven...link below...also listed are albums such as 'Rock Instrumental Classics' etc...audio samples of each down the page...

Isn't Ode to Joy by Beethoven? There is a hard rock version of the "Hallelujah" by the German group 'Hanzel und Gretyl', which is orginally part of the Messiah by George Handel. Do u mean that?
