covers you think should be/should've been done
 

What covers do you think should be or should've (if the band broke up or they're dead) been done?


-I think Blind Melon would've done a great cover of China Grove by the Doobie Brothers.
-I always thought Johnny Cash would've done a great cover of Behind Blue Eyes by the Who. I mean, he was doing covers of songs on his last couple albums anyways

First of all, great thread Sam. The band has to be gone right? i could imagine a lot of good covers. I think Opeth could do a badass rendition of "Comfortably Numb" - Pink Floyd, or "Wish you were here" for that matter. I would love to see some early grunge songs get covered by some of todays bands. It just feels like no body listens to grunge anymore, like since nobody makes it the its not cool to listen to. But i fucking love some of those tunes by Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and too a lesser extent Pearl Jam.



One a somewhat related tangent...

We are currently covering "Policy of Truth" - Depeche Mode, "Winter" - Tori Amos, "Got Me Wrong" - Alice In Chains, and "The Trial" - Pink Floyd.

no, it can be an existing band/musician. I just happened to have used ones that were dead/broken up

bump, come on, SOMEONE must be able to think of some besides Arioch

What about Evis singing Oops I did it again??

. . .

Bjork doing Bikini Kill's "I Like Fucking".

That would be awesome.

I think that someone shouldve done the Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin but i cant think of a band......

... Portishead cover Black Sabbaths "Planet Caravan"

Johnny's cash's cover of "Hurt" is right on the money, niether NIN or cash come from genres I particualy favour, but when it good its good, and this tarck is so f*ckin good!

Feral Cat

Nah, Pantera already did an excellect cover of Planet Caravan. No need in fucking with perfection.

PS Portishead sucks ass

LOL, Pantera are pretty sad!!!
...and im not a fan of Portishead either I just figured they could do a good downtempo cover! the original is not realy touchable anyway!

Feral Cat

Uh...OK:rolleyes: Anyhow, their version of Planet Caravan was far from "sad." I take it that you have never heard it?

... I gonna see if i can find it and see how it sounds.

Feral Cat

its a great cover.....

i think that Dave Grohl doing Zepplins Stairway to Heaven on Late Show with Kraig Kilborn was brilliant

Im sorry, its fucking BEAUTIFUL. It makes black sabbaths version sound like it was recorded in a garage, with some shitty effects on Ozzy's vocals, just download it Feral, and listen to that solo,.....man.....

Once I finish listening to "never again (instro), I'll get Kazza on the case and download it!

mmm I think sabbaths was prob recorded in a garage with shit affects, but I love LO-FI!

Feral Cat

Hey, what did you think of it Feral??

...*to my suprise I liked it, and have played it several times! Seriously it's good, not to sure about some of the guitar near the middle and the end, but a lot of talent there!

*LOL not that I thought you would be sh*t just I know a lot of the people on this forum are into super hard metal thats sounds like a cat being raped over the top of banging dustbin lids and chainsaws!

gotta get round to putting kazza back on my pc to get that panterra track, I forgot I had unistalled it as the pop-ups where seriously starting to f**k me off!

Feral Cat

Hey thanks man. I'm glad you like it, you should hit bloodrayne up for the new one, as shes the only one that has it currently (she has the intrumental version, im waiting to put it out with vocals which is why no one else has the instru.) but im glad you liked it.

LOL ya, alot of people on this site are into Grindcore, Hardcore, and various other FILLINTHEBLANK/core that i just dont understand. I like music with alot of melody in all the parts, screaming constantly and 2000 beats per minute dont do it for me.....

Bowie should've never done a cover from "Like a Rolling stone". it's just bad.
also, Tom Jones and Ram Jam and basically everyone else but Nick Cave and Leadbelly should leave "Black Betty" alone..

im happy you liked the cover feral

Cradle Of Filth did a Misfits cover...forget which song.

But the misfits suck anyway, but COF makes em look good.

. . . I want some of the stuff you're smokin', friend. Seriously. That must be some GOOOD stuff.

What about Marilyn Manson doing sometimes by Britney Spears??

HAIL SATAN!!!

Ram Jam did "Black Betty" way before Nick Cave stopped shitting himself.Come on,pull your head out of your ass if your gunna talk rock'n'roll.

Yeah, you're right.

No matter how kick ass COF makes their songs, Misfits will always blow for quarters.

Thats just fuckin stupid.

I've never heard of them!

HAIL SATAN!!!
