songs SX should cover

[wicked34]

For covers, it would be cool for the band to cover the songs that influenced them most - like, each person picks two songs that had the biggest influence on them "growing up". That would be cool to have insight into what influenced the band as well as to hear their take on the material.

thats a really great idea

dream theater - A Change Of Seasons
Evergrey - nosferatu
angra - running alone
Adagio - The Stringless Violin
queen- show must go on
Whitesnake - Sailing Ships

and ...
stevie wonder - Living for the City


and it goes on and on

Who would want to hear Symphony X cover an Adagio song? That would be like Symphony X covering a 2nd-rate version of themselves! Symphony X covering a band that is trying to be like Symphony X makes no sense to me!

If it had keyboards, I'd love for them to remake "We Rock" from the master himself, DIO!!!

 

[vfrex]

I think a cover of Opeth's Bleak would be interesting. Also:

Deep Purple - Highway Star That would be AWESOME
Dream Theater - Metropolis Part 1: the miracle and the sleeper

 

[Tornwald]

Michael Jackson's "Thriller"

and while you're at it

"Genie in a bottle" by Christina Aquillera...

 

[Snowblind]

They should do Mercyful Fate - Evil

That should test Russell's vocal range pretty well. Heh.

 

[joeshabadoo]

I change my suggestion from earlier specifying Stravinsky's the Firebird Suite to now pleading for ANY stravinsky

 

[Androz]

king crimson - dinosaur
pink floyd - comfortably numb

 

[snakeey11]

I'm a sucker for all things Pink Floyd, so I would have to suggest one of the epics such as Shine on You Crazy Diamond, my favorite Floyd song of all. I also have to agree that The Battle of Evermore and Kashmir are great Zeppelin songs that would be awesome as well.

I think a cover of Opeth's Bleak would be interesting. Also:

Deep Purple - Highway Star That would be AWESOME
Dream Theater - Metropolis Part 1: the miracle and the sleeper

I'm gonna second Highway Star. That song's begging for 16ths on the double kick. GOD I love that song.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Morrissey - "Hairdresser On Fire"
Depeche Mode - "Personal Jesus"
Duran Duran - "Come Undone"
The Police - "Wrapped Around Your Finger"
Roxy Music - "More Than This"

 

[IcedMadness]

I heard SX cover Smokin by Boston during their sound check in 02. I think it would be awesome to hear them cover The Wall.

 

[dargormudshark]

Kansas-Mysteries and Mayhem

 

[Pharaoh]

Kansas-Mysteries and Mayhem

Oh yes! And also Icarus (Borne on Wings of Steel) and The Pinnacle!!!
I can hear MJR wailing on the solos.

I'm getting some Kansas LPs out today and listen to them,
the double live one is good.

 

[DoktorShred]

Fire and ice by yngwie with an added keyboard solo. I can see russ kicking ass on that vocal part

 

[ABQShredHead]

Oh yes! And also Icarus (Borne on Wings of Steel) and The Pinnacle!!!
I can hear MJR wailing on the solos.

I'm getting some Kansas LPs out today and listen to them,
the double live one is good.

Don't make me go searching for the lost albums, Pharoah. I just... can't... resist! Must find... good ... music! Aargh!

 

[dargormudshark]

maybe SX should cover the pinnacle and Kansas shoud cover the Accolade

Kent - "Heavenly Junkie"
Cave In - "Seafrost"
The Mars Volta - "Eriatarka"
Sigur Ros - "Untitled 4"
Sunny Day Real Estate - "Rain Song"

I feel like the biggest idiot in the world, I did not know any of those bands.
