Songs Opeth should cover

[Belligerent]

I dont know about anyone else...but the Soldier of Fortune(Deep Purple) cover didnt settle well with me. This could be cool thread to see everyone's thoughts on what they should cover of different genre's.

Classic Rock cover: Led Zeppelin - No Quarter (Has an dark eerie vibe to it and I think Mikael could pull off Robert Plant in this song)
Metal Cover: Morbid Angel - God Of Emptiness ( You could see the Morbid Angel influences in Opeth's music to begin with so why not)
Prog Rock Cover: King Crimson - Epitaph ( A beautifully depressing song I consider to be not only one of best written songs ever...but would kill to hear Opeth cover it)

Any ideas guys?

I'd love to see them cover Deep Purple's "Child In Time"...that would rule enormously

 

[Arjen W.]

Epitaph would be great indeed.

 

[Belligerent]

Or Dogs by Floyd...Id shit myself I think...

Speaking of Floyd...I'd shit myself if they covered "Poles Apart" - one of my all-time favorite songs

 

[Belligerent]

What album is Poles Apart off of ? Im not Floyd n00b either

 

[Belligerent]

Try to list rock, metal, and prog covers that would fit Opeth guys.

 

[Kenneth R.]

The Division Bell - Poles Apart. listen to it. incredibly underrated album.


Opeth should cover anything but Slayer.

The Division Bell - Poles Apart. listen to it. incredibly underrated album.

I agree. It's a really good album

After seeing Mike doing vox for the Candlemass tribute, I'd enjoy seeing them cover something thrashy, like early Metallica or Megadeth

 

[Crackfare]

maybe at least one song from cannibal corpse lol.

I would LOVE to hear Opeth do No Quarter. That would be a perfect song for them to cover.

All the other songs listed are meh as far as what Opeth would probably be able to do with them (although Epitaph might be decent). But No Quarter...would be fucking awesome.

 

[Belligerent]

Glad u agree Divine...Twould' be killer
Tell me God of Emptiness wouldnt be great tho'..."Bow to me faiiiiiithfuuuuully" *shortly followed by Fredrik perfecting Trey Azagthoth's sweeps*

 

[soundave]

Prog: Genesis - Get 'Em Out By Friday
Classic Rock: Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Metal: Dethklok - Briefcase Full of Guts

 

[i aint play this]

Zeppelin - Kashmir
Sabbath - A National Acrobat
Pink Floyd - Shine on you Crazy Diamond
Simon & Garfunkel - I am a Rock

have you heard the tool cover of it? fantastic

 

[DivineMomentsofTruth]

Sabbath - A National Acrobat

I definitely second this. Excellent choice.

And I was less-than-impressed with Tool's cover of No Quarter. They could have done a lot better.

 

[Godhead59]

I'd love to hear a studio cover of Candlemass's At the Gallow's End. It sounded so good when Mike covered it live.

 

[Arjen W.]

Camel - Never Let Go
Jethro Tull - Life's A Long Song
Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor (with deathvox )

 

[Triton]

Or, Nevermore-Narcosynthesis

 

[gabaghoul]

these would be interesting, quite different too but all somehow appropriate. not joking either.

Ted Nugent - Stranglehold
The Cure - Disintegration
Agalloch - And the Great Cold Death of the Earth
Kent - Den Doda Vinkeln
Sixteen Horsepower - Cinder Alley
Norah Jones - The Sun Doesn't Like You
Chopin - Nocturne in B-Flat Minor, Opus 9/1
Journey - Separate Ways (make it more of a slowed-down, soft ballad and then explode at the end with a proggy freakout section and lots of death growls)

btw whoever mentioned King Crimson's Epitaph - Asgaroth (symphonic black metal from Spain) covered it on the Absence Spells Beyond EP. good cover too.
