Covers that would suit Opeth

[mexicola]

Pink Floyd- Careful with that ax Eugene, or Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.

Pink Floyd- Sheep

Ten Years After- Let the Sky Fall. With crazy fucking metal jam at the end!

Uriah Heep- The Wizard

Good call, especially Set the controls..

 

[L0bster]

I also think that Mike can make an amazing cover of Still Got the Blues by Gary Moore. He's obviously very good at bluesy moods so he can do wonders with this one.

Out of all songs in any way related to the word blues, I find that one to be the worst. God its awful. And actually not even that bluesy.

 

[Gadmeer]

I'd like to hear Opeth cover the following songs:

Long Cool Women In A Black Dress - The Hollies

Low - Cracker

Like Angels Weeping (The Dark) - Kataklysm, Mikael's voice would really do this song justice. The instrumental parts of the song are excellent but the vocals sound terrible (no offence intended).

 

[kingpersnake]

Some beatles songs ,i guess ?

 

[Silhouette_01]

id like to hear opeth do emperor covers but like old emperor like in the night side eclipse it seems kind of dumb but with the opeth spin on it i think it might be kind of neat since some of the older opeth albums have alot of black metal spin on it

 

[grey knight]

Abba?

 

[Slynt]

Opeth should do a fucking CAMEL cover, like "Another Night".

 

[Arasmas]

so this thread is basically "list some songs you like"

 

[ssaammaael]

A Death cover: "Sacred Serenity".

Morbid Angel's "God of Emptiness" and Metallica's "To live is To Die" are great ideas too.

 

[Holocaust on the Moon]

It just occurred to me that Opeth could do an amazing cover of Focus's Hocus Pocus.

I also want to hear Mikael yodel.

 

[VaticanInFlames]

1) every king crimson song ever

2) porcupine tree tribute album (why has this not happend yet?!)

 

[The_Ivy]

i know they already did a Celtic Frost cover, but they should cover more of CF's stuff. opeth knows what they're doing and how not to screw up covers of good bands like frost.

 

[toast reveries]

opeth do punk rock! LOL

 

[FJChaos]

Metallica - "Fade To Black"

I'd like to see Mikael growl this "No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death Greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye "

In Flames - "Jester Script Transfigured"

The verse should be clean instead of distorted vocals.

 

[Narek]

Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd.

 

[Bluegreen]

Trains by Porcupine Tree! Imagine Opeth making a heavier version of that song, and with Mike's wonderful voice on top of that!

 

[pyr0rrzzz]

Empyrium - The Blue Mists of Night

 

[Kamel]

Camel - never let go..

was this already mentioned?
sorry I didn't read the whole thread...

 

[Sad Madrigal]

Queen - Innuendo
I dunno, but I really imagine Mike doing this.

 

[Crackfare]

Six Feet Under- No Warning Shot.

DIIIEEE!!!!!
