Covers you would love to hear by Opeth

[neuroticandroid]

Iron Man by Sabbath
Stairway to Heaven by Zeppelin
Money by Pink Floyd
Down in a Hole by Alice in Chains

all I can think of right now

damn, opeth doing "down in a hole" would be fucking BRUTAL. i could just hear that now. good call

 

[SacredReich]

What a ridiculous thread. Covers are bullshit unless they're taking the piss out of the pop scene, like CoB with "Hit Me Baby One More Time", and even that has a limit of about 5 listens.

 

[The Evil Toucan]

Hallowed be They Name - Iron Maiden

Just because I want one out other than that god awful screeching Cradle of Filth one.

Uhh........ever hear of Iced Earth?

 

[worldwide_suicide]

^fuck yeah, opeth doig down in a hole makes me wet my pants... just imagie akerfeldt going: i'd like to flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, but my wings have been so denieee--eee--ee---eed... buryyy me softly in this woooomb...


fuck, that would pwn all the n00bs!!1!

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

I'd quite like to hear them do 'Would?' by AIC, seeing as they came up already. But Down In A Hole would be awesome.

But do you know what would be better? New Opeth songs....

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

"Discover me like emptiness" by In Flames - just for fun & because Mike has a better voice.

I actually think it would be quite funny to watch In Flames attempt to play an Opeth song. And fail miserably .

Btw, I don't actually dislike In Flames at all, although Anders Friden has one of the lamest singing voices I ever heard.

Opeth - Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd), that would be an awesome Cover...
Opeth - Where the Slime Lives (Morbid Angel)...

Ive heard a tool cover of comfortably numb and sure loadsa of other ppl have. its alright but nothing special. i rekon opeth could vastly improve songs from MEtallica's black album, especially sad but true.. surely.
Just softer songs, like Iced Earth - Melancoly would be good. i know this would be really weird but how bout Killswitch Engage - Just barely breathing? Jesse Leach was great switchin from scream to singing, how bout a growl? lol
maybe slayer's seasons in the abyss would be funni

 

[hexwind]

Judas priest -when tears come or sth like that ! sorry i can't remember the title right now, but i watched a video on youtube on Melloboat last March, Mike was singing and i was blown away

Holy shit - he called it almost three years ago!

 

[Vivören]

King Crimson - Epitaph

 

[Prog_Please]

Fear Of The Dark - Iron Maiden
In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion - Agalloch

Both those would be really cool.

 

[CadenZ]

I'd love to hear Opeth cover the whole Kveldssanger album by Ulver...in Swedish, of course.

 

[aequitaSveritaS]

I think some more old Deep Purple or Sabbath stuff would fit both his voice and his preferences

 

[Lateralus14]

They should definitely just cover their own Black Rose Immortal with their current better production quality and song-writing skills.

King Crimson - Epitaph

+1

 

[Junges]

+1

I can't imagine this song being covered by any band. The Greg Lake's vocals are unique.

They are, but i think Mikael could still do a good cover

Actually the band In The Woods... already did one.

 

[Sad Madrigal]

They MUST do No Quarter.

 

[Carta's]

Dire straits - Brothers in Arms.
