Japanese hard rockers Bow Wow formed in the mid-70s. At the time, Japan was known more for their overzealous love of rock and roll, and not for dishing out their own take on it. The Sadistic Mika Band were an amazing band who took some glam and prog rock influences to the fore, while Bow Wow mined their own brand of metal. The band went through some lineup changes, ending up with a new name, Vow Wow. In 1989, Vow Wow not only covered the Beatles song in the spotlight here, but even named their album after it. Pretty much your standard cover, but they do give it their own flavor and stay true to the spirit.
