does anyone how many covers have been made of helter skelter?

Answer 1

Go with what Robert K said.


Also:

Soundgarden played a slowed down version with added lyrics during their 1996/1997 Down on the Upside Tour. It was never officially released but is available on bootlegs and through file-sharing. Also available as a medley with the song "Bootcamp".

The song is sampled under a cover of Jay-Z's '99 Problems' by DJ Danger Mouse in The Grey Album.

In 1999, japanese heavy metal bands Siam Shade, Sex Machineguns and Valentine D.C performed this song in a concert against AIDS.

John Frusciante has also covered this song, although only live and it does not feature on any Red Hot Chili Peppers release or on any of his solo albums.
