Songs Opeth should cover (or not...)

[dwoakee]

Jethro Tull - Dark Ages

 

[Sargy]

would be cool and funny if they did metaling up know ballad songs

 

[Metalstrm]

Dude. Welcome to the Machine. That song is so disturbing, it just fits the general Opeth mood.

 

[Vega Skater]

I've said it before..

Elliott Smith - Needle in the Hay (w/ growls)

 

[mantaur]

I've always thought Opeth could do a great cover of Ozzy Osbournes Diary of a Madman.Or even Pantera Floods.But I think the world is overdue for a death metal cover of the Spanish Flea-that song's awesome!

 

[beast from the east]

One Of These Days would indeed be EPIC! And they would play the hell out of it too...

"Aqualung" by Jethro Tull with growls included!

[Opethian Samurai]

I think they should do a Faith No More cover while they're at it..

 

[LexPWeller]

Sinéad O'Connor - Troy
Talk Talk - The Rainbow / Eden
Tim Buckley - Driftin'
Smog - Palimpsest

 

[Blackwater Demon]

Our God Is An Awesome God

Amen Corner to that.

I'd rather them not cover songs, or at least not often. They always do a decent job at them, but their originals are always way better.

 

[Opethian Samurai]

I think they covered Soldier of Fortune and Circle of Tyrants much better than the original artists. I think most would agree to that.

I thought recently they should do a Tom Waits cover. I know he's never really been cited as an influence, but he would fit perfectly. A death metal Rain Dogs or The Earth Died Screaming would kick ass. If you think about it, Tom Waits growled years before anyone else. He just hasn't found his way to the right genre yet

Along with Remember Tomorrow...IMO.

oooh… Treading in dark dangerous waters now Watch out for rabid Maiden fans

That was actually the song that got me into Opeth from the beginning. And I think it's a killer cover, real nice balance between being Opeth and staying true.

 

[GT2000]

What about Raining Blood by Slayer?
Love the Elliott Smith idea - maybe Angels in the Snow?

Me too!! Way, way back!!

That was covered by Shadows Fall and they did a pretty decent job...

 

[Blackwater Demon]

I still think they should do The Wall all the way through. I mean it would be so perfect.
