What song to cover as a B-Side

nah, the rap metal's been done, it's no longer original. It would come across as a desperate effort to recapture old glory.

I've posted this in a similar thread before, but I'd love to hear them do a cover of either ZZ Top's La Grange, or Van Halen's Ice Cream Man. I think John's vocals and making the guitar extra heavy would be absolutely killer on these tracks.

Ultimately though, covers are a chance for a band to pay tribute to acts that influenced them, or share stuff that they like, so it's up to them, not us.

I'd fucking love to hear them do Ice Cream Man. That's definetly my favorite VH track ever.
 
I say they cover "JUMP" by Van Halen........that would combine Dutchy's and nafnikufesin's requests.

That would be hilarious......you think John could handle Diamond Dave's split kick or the back flip or would those duties go to Scott???
 
I say cover "SURPRISE, YOU'RE DEAD!" by Fath No More.
I just think that if anyone could cover Faith no More and make it sound decent AND their own- it would be AnTHRaX...
 
Definitely "Hot for Teacher" by Van Halen!

Or "Immigrant Song" by Zep. "Breaking The Law" by Priest. "Smoke on the Water" by Purple. "Highway Child" by Hendrix. Hell, anything they touch will rule. They even did "Phantom Lord" justice.
 
Yo, N.F.F.
Phantom Lord is kinda raspy. I think the thing I dig most about the cover is that Anthrax is actually doing it. Not just some cheesy death metal band with cookie monster vox. The best covers they've done, I think, are Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, London and Remember Tomorrow.
 
Don't get me wrong, I love hearing anything Anthrax does, and John's vocals were good on Phantom Lord. The guitars were really disappointing, though, not even coming close to Kirk's original solo.

I agree with you, EZEric, I'd love to hear old Joey tunes redone in the studio with John on vocals, especially ATL tunes like Caught in a Mosh.

Anything by ZZ Top would be cool. La Grange is a good choice.
