moonchild by king crimson

 

[wandering_taco]

How about Wayward Son, that would be cool. I think its by Kansas but Im not sure. Something by Zepplin would be pretty awesome, how about that song Battle of Evermore or something like that I cant remember the exact name.

 

[i aint play this]

moonchild by king crimson

awesome

 

[Belligerent]

Imagine Opeth doing:
Yes - Roundabout

 

[Euge]

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

Some Megadeth would be great.

BTW, I loved their Deep Purple's Soldier of Fortune cover, amazing song

 

[Death_To_False_Metal]

I would like to hear Mikael doing sexy Coverdale : Whitesnake : In The Still of The Night. Michael, we know you dig all things Coverdales but any song song from 1987 would be killer !

Deep Purple : Burn

Metallica : Fade To Black with acoustic guitars on arpeggios and growls in the last verse.

Muse : Knight of Cydonia, New Born, Hysteria : What to do with Bellamy's falsettos ?

Thin Lizzy : Still in Love with you

Scorpions : We'll burn the Sky

Porcupine Tree : Hate Song

Rush : Natural Science, Xanadu

Sting : Fragile

Britney Spears : Toxic

Hey thanks man. That was awesome, Mike rocks !

 

[Blind Guardian]

I'd love to hear Mike cover some Nick Drake.

yeah,picture mikael singing "River Man"..that would be beautiful!

 

[Valerie]

Zeppelin - Kashmir

That would be amazing.

And, I'm not sure if this is the correct title, but Flamenco Classical by Al di Meola.
Maybe The Chaos Path by Arcturus.
Any Dark Hall song
The Tongue of Fire by Emperor
Slow Ride by Foghat
Somehow I think they could pull off a metal version of Allegro non Troppo - Poco Sost by Johannes Brahms.
Mike should do a cover of Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan. Break out one those '70s strats he has

 

[Thonolan]

"In the Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson. I always think of Opeth when I hear this song.

 

[soundave]

The Who - Boris the Spider

along the same idea, and since Mike mentioned it himself...

The Cure - Lullaby

 

[Sky Coyote]

I must say that the "Soldier Of Fortune" cover is absolutely incredible. Such a beautiful song.

 

[HorrorbleOne]

Radiohead - Climbing Up The Walls
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - We Came Along This Road
Death - Sacred Serenity

A Post-Rock/Metal cover would also be awesome.

 

[twilightsrobe]

I'd love to hear Opeth cover...
Chris Isaak - Wicked Game
Pink Floyd - If, or Echoes

Not sure about Candlemass though, Mikael's vocal range isn't that high. His version of At the Gallow's End paled in comparison to the original (and the vocals are what makes Candlemass awesome).

 

[the_drip]

i'd be down with hearing some moody blues tunage or Genesis.

 

[MixGrafix]

Jack Luminous by Voivod

Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday

Machine Gun by Jimi Hendrix

Screaming in Digital by Queensryche "Before the light you must know what lies behind my screams" Total Death Vox

Ungod By Stabbing Westward

Dirty Hole by VAST

High by Jimmie's Chicken Shack

Diabolus by Buddy Rich

Head Like A Hole by Nine Inch Nails

II B.S. by Charles Mingus

 

[Risquit]

Its a little early for a cover, but how about "Shesmovedon" by Porcupine Tree?

 

[Belligerent]

Its a little early for a cover, but how about "Shesmovedon" by Porcupine Tree?

Yes
or The Sky Moves Sideways.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Queen/Bohemian Rhapsody
