[Strangelight]

Pull The Plug
Inner Self

 

[Strangelight]

Tomorrow Never Knows

 

[flebbie]

Pull The Plug
Inner Self

Death and Sepultura?

 

[Cerulean]

You guys played Inner Self and Pull the plug? Are there any recordings of it?

 

[pistol_pete]

You guys played Inner Self and Pull the plug? Are there any recordings of it?

[Lord_Of_This_World]

 

[EdenKriss]

Didnt they play some morbid angel cover in the early days? or does it not count if it was before they were signed?

 

[insidethefall]

lets make a list of songs that they covered during the years, here's a start:


Your Possible Pasts

Pink Floyd version found on The Final Cut (1983)

Anathema version found on Alternative 4 (digipack)

Strange, I've never heard of this cover

 

[Sopel]

Strange, I've never heard of this cover

peaceville put it on a4 to encourage people to buy it and earn some money. basically sort of rip-off.

 

[pagan2002]

immortal rites
theme from blackadder

 

[Strangelight]

peaceville put it on a4 to encourage people to buy it and earn some money. basically sort of rip-off.

I dunno, maybe thats a little harsh. People dont have to buy it if they dont want to. Plus the packaging is way better than the slipcase version.

 

[bleed_black_orchid]

theme from blackadder haha Id love to see that

 

[Bartje]

I know a nice song anathema should be covering.

I saw an angel in my dreams tonight - Frans Farmer from the netherlands.

 

[contaminant]

Strange, I've never heard of this cover

i strongly suggest you to find and listen that track, 'cause it's one of the most beautiful cover of anathema. especially the smooth and bleak voice of Vinny on "do you think we should be closer" part is incredible.

 

[Loona]

well Danny played a couple others too when he was here alone and with Sean (like two Radiohead ones, and hmm... Depeche Mode... wait I have to think... there were more) do these count?

 

[Lifeline]

comfortably numb and orion were played in Istanbul too.
comfortably numb- oct 1 2004 Yeni Melek
orion- june 20 RockIstanbul. but they played until bass guitar solo of the song. because their time was finished already.

 

[Animals]

They played Glory Box of Portishead in Turkey.
