Songs for Woods of Ypres to Cover (Guesses and Suggestions):

[Dauden]

You guys should totally do Holy Diver, that'd be kickass.

 

[DeathBlade]

Go Into the Water and Murmaider by Deathklok.

 

[David Gold]

Holy shit guys, there's some crazy suggestions flying around here

Phantom -

"The Luxury of a Grave" - Sentenced

This was actually on my list of posibilities! I've always loved that song + it's so overlooked! The best line being "Ohhhh, a coffin would be way to nice. Ohhh-oh-oh-oh-oh, a see through plastic bag would do just fine." ...Enter bass interlude. Awesome!


+

"Down in a Hole" - Alice in Chains

Too!

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Bathory-One rode to asa bay
Emperor-beyond the great vast forest
Led Zeppelin-No Quarter

 

[Darth Grimby]

You guys were born to play The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood".

 

[Frosties]

I just thought that Woods doing Manic Street Preachers could be pretty cool, specifically The Everlasting or If You Tolerate This, Then Your Children Will Be Next.

 

[The Black Death]

Amorphis - Black winter day

Satyricon - Woods to eternity

This, simply because it would be unbelievable to watch a band cover this.

 

[MentallyAbstract]

Agreed with Alice In Chains covers, but I'd go with 'Them Bones'

 

[sdmf2]

I'f you're going Alice in Chains, my vote would be either Rotten Apple or Nutshell off Jar of Flies

 

[Dauden]

Dam That River or Angry Chair would be awesome too.

 

[MentallyAbstract]

Hell, just cover the discography

 

[aeturnus77]

any Sentenced/Opeth cover would be sweet, and if it wasnt answer yet... The Children of Bodom cover of The Final Countdown was done by Norther.

back to Sent/Op...

Luxury Of A Grave would be a blast to listen to by WoY, as would Black Rose Immortal. I wonder how much colder No One There(sentenced) would sound done up by Woods tho... mmmm

 

[phantomfreak]

^^^"The Final Countdown" cover that everybody thinks is Children of Bodom, it is not, and it is NOT Norther either. It is by the band Dispatched.

[Aeonblade]

Norther did do a cover of it.

 

[phantomfreak]

I know, but it's the Dispatched version that everbody confuses with Children of Bodom.

 

[aeturnus77]

interesting. i'll have to check it out.

so this morning my cellular was on random play for mp3s...

WoY should cover Lost Behind The Wall, by Dokken.

 

[flemflames]

"Black Rose Immortal" - Opeth

This man is a genius.
And this song is the perfect challenge!
Are you up for this challenge David?

 

[chrisdoig24k]

That would be an epic attempt. I would say 'best leave it' but I'm tempted to support this motion!

 

[David Gold]

I made a small draft list of songs tonight. My goal here is to choose the 8-10 songs that would best represent the music that inspired the first three Woods albums.

Good news! I received permission from KATATONIA to do the Woods "Deadhouse" cover.

I'd be hesitant to do an OPETH cover for a few reasons. I myself have been an OPETH fan and they were definitely a influence in the early beginning of WoY, but they haven't been as big of an influence as the other bands I have in mind, who are closer to my heart. + OPETH are a bigger band these days, and I have a feeling their management wouldn't be so welcome to this sort of attention from us...but I could always be surprised!

...anyways, working on it.
