Opeth coverning King Crimson

[Weakness]

What King Crimson song would you like to hear Opeth cover?


"Discipline "

gets my choice

 

[Dreadful]

cirkus or in the wake of poseidon. any track would be fairly decent....I was the guy in the "in the court of the crimson king" shirt at the LA show. Some guy came up to me afterwards and we talked about the band for a bit. He was real, real exuberant...as KC is excellent.

 

[Weakness]

Haha, nice, I love it when people ask me about T-shirts
Thats awesome you have a KC in the first place, never seen one
wearing one before. I saw a YES shirt at The Fillmore SF show.

 

[Shadows Skulk]

the pelican guy was wearing a Yes shirt at the SF show

 

[Yoda]

Starless & Bible Black.

 

[FUBAR]

'In the court of the crimson king'

Death metal style

 

[Alex78]

Starless! oh wait, who'd play sax?

 

[TheButcher]

Epitaph and Starless

 

[Yoda]

Starless! oh wait, who'd play sax?

That new guy, Perter.

I wouldnt want them to cover a king crimson song. They should cover a camel song.

 

[annt]

Starless, definitely!

I have a Yes shirt

 

[Katabasis]

'Epitaph' definitely.

I can hear Mikael doing the vocals on that one perfectly.

 

[Leper_/-\ffinity]

Yep, Epitaph or maybe even Islands. I could also see them doing a much more intricate version of Moonchild.

speaking of king crimson, my boss is robert fripps 2nd cousin. His name is richard fripp. He called robert up and robert sent a whole bunch of signed stuff to him. Unfortunately my boss is a redneck, and he doesnt listen to old prog like King crimson...but country instread *shudders*

I wouldnt want them to cover a king crimson song. They should cover a camel song.

Lady Fantasy => Nectar
Never Let Go => Benighted
Camel-STYLE => Atonement

Most of Damnation comes out of Camel and Wishbone Ash albums

 

[BenMech]

Starless & Bible Black.

BE CAREFUL!

That's a different song than Red's "Starless". "S and BB" is an instrumental.

 

[BenMech]

I'd like to see them cover Doctor Diamond
Maybe "Dinosaur", Opeth dual vocal style

 

[Dreadful]

Catfood

 

[Spaxx]

Lady Fantasy => Nectar
Never Let Go => Benighted
Camel-STYLE => Atonement

I'm listening to Never Let Go right now and I can totally see why people (and Mikael himself) say that Benighted is ripped from that song. The beginning riff is damn close to being identical!

Anyway, I'd like to see Opeth cover "Red", I love that song.
