Sorry for resurrecting this thread from page 6, but I just heard this song on the radio and (since I've laways liked it, even though it's a radio-friendly pop song) I felt like it would be a really great song for Opeth to cover.
I'm talking about "Moonlight Shadow" by Mike Oldfield.
What do you guys think. Anyone else like that song? It's got great guitar melodies and chord-progressions that would adapt well to Opeth's style...
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, here's a link. Make sure to listen to the end, as there's a great solo...
Now, just imagine this a little slower, a bit doomy, transposed into a minor key or something.
