Down in a Hole is my favorite AIC song and I have often said I wish Opeth would cover it. I missed it by 9 tracks.
I still don't get it. plz explain? . . . .

On the album Dirt, Down In A Hole is track 4, while Would? is track 13
I'd like to hear Down In A Hole the most. Man In The Box or Rooster would be interesting as well.
Alice in Chains is one of my favorite bands of all time. Glad to hear Mike so that he like them a lot on the TALKING METAL Interview.
I think when it comes to lyrical content WOULD? is the perfect song for Opeth to cover, seeing as how most of Alice In Chains songs focus on Drugs and Would? doesn't
But what other songs do you think would be cool for Opeth to cover by alice in chains?
I'd say
Down In A hole
Any of their Acoustic songs (Got me wrong, brother, nutshell, etc.)
Heaven Beside you would be cool
I hope that the music is change up quite a bit on Would? though, a more elaborate solo would rock!!
um, have you ever read the lyrics or know who the song is about?
andy wood (pun intended there) singer of mother love bone
died from heroin like layne staley
the lyrics although they can be interpreted in many ways, i'm not saying you're wrong at all understand. but they definitely refer to heroin addiction.
Would lyrics
Know Me Broken By My Master
Teach Thee On Child Of Love Hereafter
Into The Flood Again
Same Old Trip It Was Back Then
So I Made A Big Mistake
Try To See It Once My Way
Drifting Body Its Sole Desertion
Flying Not Yet Quite The Notion
Am I Wrong?
Have I Run Too Far To Get Home?
Am I Gone?
And Left You Here Alone
If I Would Could You?
i mean that could refer to a deal with the devil gone wrong, i see that. but yeah, it's also about heroin.

Also "I can't remember" off the first album was a possibility. And all songs off the "Sap" ep.
Difficult, but "Would?" is just an incredible song and it hasn't really aged at all since I first heard it.
With that said, although our version is OK, it's maybe too similar to the original only worse, haha!

I guess now I have to listen to them, I really haven't before. My friend's uncle is their drummer, or something like that.
