Songs Opeth should cover (or not...)

[hibernal_dream]

Something really old would be nice. As in pre-20th century.

 

[Sad Madrigal]

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

 

[Requiem960]

How about this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU ?

 

[Requiem960]

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

OMG, I'm bummed. I didn't scroll down to read your post before I posted the link!

 

[Frosties]

Boney M - Daddy Cool

 

[FastEddy]

This may sound a little wierd, but I'd like to hear Mike and Per's take on Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel. I think they could really do justice to the song and for some reason the song just seems to fit the Opeth mold.

 

[Deliverance Apparent]

To Live is to Die in its entirety

 

[SerenityNow!]

Astronomy Domine.

YES!

Pink Floyd's "The Nile Song" with death metal vocals. I think that would make an excellent Opeth cover.

 

[Klämrisk]

They should cover Blasting The Virginborn while playing live

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.

Holy shit - I was thinking the exact same thing when I heard it on the radio last week...

 

[James Hetfield]

Pantera's "Drag the Waters"

 

[Shredzilla]

I'm up for any Ledd Zeppelin or Pink Floyd.

 

[mexicola]

ONE OF THESE DAYS.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................I'M GOING TO CUT YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!









(in growlings styles blak metals rebel!!)

Exactly what I've been thinking!

 

[DarkHawk]

Colossus by Borknagar
Time by Pink Floyd
A Change Of Seasons by Dream Theater

Any of those would be epic to me

Opeth could cover Britney Spears and turn it into the best music ever... I'm not suggesting that they DO cover Britney Spears, I'm just using her as an example because it's the worst music I can think of.
