OT...Ripped Off From the White Board-"If u could have 1 band........."

[Street Worm]

"If u could have 1 band/group/singer do a cover of any song...what would it be?"

Thought it was a cool idea (that didn't get very many replies)

Mine-
Tom Waits doing Marc Cohn's "Providence"
&
Mung doing Jerry Reed's "Amos Moses" (make it count, son) [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wanna play here?
and throw in one or two of your favorite existing covers....

Mine-
Joe Cocker doing Steve Winwood's "Talking Back To the Night"
and any of Idris Mohammad's (jazz/fusion) covers of James Brown

[*PORTHOS*]

Covers I'd like
I really don't know!

Covers I like

Bob Dylan's MISSISSIPI done by Sheryl Crow
Pink Floyd's Astronomy Domine done by Voivod

[-megalithanod]

Killswtich Engage covering Europe's "Final Countdown"

Ozzy covering "tip Toe through the Tulips"

Jessica Simpson covering "I'm just a bitch"

Covers that have been done I like

Marlyn Manson (can't normally stand him, but these two covers I like) - Sweet Dreams and Tainted Love
Metallica - Whiskey int eh Jar, Turn the Page

Had no idea you liked KsE meg! I went to see em a couple a weeks ago, the night before my english GCSE [img]biggrin.gif[/img] They kicked mucho ass.

[-megalithanod]

Yeah - they have made it onto my playlist at work lately, along with Avenged Sevenfold, and a couple of others I picked up off of Headbanger's Ball off MTV

most are more in a different category than KsE like Lacuna Coil, Paragon, Morifade, Hed Planet Earth, Flaw, Gaia Epicus, Nightwish, Korn

And of course the classic Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, and Joe Satriani

[STD]

Nightwish, Korn, Hed (pe), Satriani! You sir, have good taste in music.

[RipperBendix]

Mercyful Fate covering one of my songs. Preferrably the Song For The Dead *nods towards The Ghastly One*. Would sound great with King Diamond's signature falsettos. *dream*

oh hey, Slayer's "Raining Blood" done by that groovy songwriter called Carl Savard, now THAT would something to die for ;-)

edit
covers I love to death:

- Metallica's Mercyful Fate medley (twelve minutes of Satan)
- Mercyful Fate's version of Judas Priest's THE RIPPER *broad grin*
- Bruce Dickinson's take on Tom Joness DELILAH
- DIE IN FIRE, originally by Bathory (r.i.p. Quorthon) but performed by Niflheim
- Neon Knights, I wanna be somebody, Fast as a Shark, all performed by WITCHERY
- Dimmu Borgir's version of "Burn In Hell"
- Uppercut's takes on PHOBIA (Kreator), Damage Case, Dog-Face Boy, Sex And Outrage (all Mot?rhead)

[RipperBendix]

this is a good thread! not fit for the page two oblivion!

BUMP

[Peter Peeker]

damn, SW, that's a GREAT idea!!
we've been looking for a new cover, and I just scored that Jerry Reed album a couple weeks back.
wonder if I can con the guys into doing it?

my pick...
Tom Waits doing "At War with Satan" from Venom. 18+ minutes...

and just for a laugh, Slayer doing "Barbie Girl". [img]tongue.gif[/img] only if Lombardo is on drums.

[Genetic Disposition]

Hey Ripper, have you heard Probot yet? I love the King Diamond vocals on the last track!

Keeping on topic, I would like to hear Tori Amos cover NIN's "The Becoming". Even though I am not a Tori fan anymore, I am sure she would do justice to that song.

Also, I just got Johnny Cash's Unearthed - a treasure trove of covers! It's a 5 disc set.
