Pink Floyd Metal Covers?

[TylerTheNuke]

Any band who chooses to cover material from the wall of all PF albums loses respect from me. Plus, to cover isn't to play the song verbatim, but rather to make it your own. My opinion is that you must put as much work into a cover as you would an original. That aside, I would like a metal version of sheep as well. . .

Voivod - "Astronomy Domine"
Voivod - "The Nile Song"

Yes Voivod is had a video of their Astronime Domine version
on a comp.V.C.R. tape.and The Nile Song was a great cover as well.
Both Pink Floyd and Voivod are Top Notch artists in my book

Off topic, I should be getting the new Voivod CD to review today. I'll let you know if it's any good.

I didn't know they got a new guitarist.I hope he is half as good as Piggy was
R.I.P.

It uses stuff Piggy recorded before his death, or so I'm led to believe.

Most covers are not good, I still hope to never ever hear that EVER.

but The Greys they are so cute...

Wrathchild America "Time" from their first cd, Climbing the Walls.

Killer song from a very underrated thrash band. I forgot all about that song. I might have to dig out/dust off that CD.

I hope you are kidding. Kittie have to be some of the most disgusting gross looking females i've seen in one band. The singer/guitarist is especially gross and manly.

I agree with the most part of what you said. If I wanted to hear a band do a FLoyd song that sounded exactly like Floyd.... well I would just listen to Floyd. Otoh.... on many songs, the guitar solo would need to be note for note. Gilmour is a God despite not being very technical. Another guitarist can't top his better solos. In that case, I think attempting to clone the solo would be the way to go.

Not compared to me

Queensryche - Silent Lucidity.

Oh, wait.

Yeah, right!

 

[fearshop]

I love Floyd. They are one of my favorites. Most covers I have heard were pretty bad. Wrathchild America's version of Time was unreal. Queensryche and Dream Theater did a live version of Comfortably Numb. The solo was great.
