Will Soldier of Fortune ever be released?

[klownpoet]

What a beautiful song!!! Didnt Opeth record it but not release it? Any chance it could be on a Bside sometime in the future?

 

[KIRILL]

The song is already recorded by Deep Purple on their Stormbringer album ...

 

[Dem0n0fTheFall4]

i think Opeth recorded it but didn't release it along with some insturmental Damnation track...i think. And yes it is a Deep Purple cover

 

[klownpoet]

I knew that it was a Deep Purple cover..What I dont know is why they didnt/cant release it.

 

[kingshit]

i think i heard somthing about it being on a special edition damnation once

 

[Graveless Soul]

Yep, it's a Deep Purple cover. But seeing as Music For Nations wouldn't pay the rights for Opeth to play their OWN older songs on the DVD can you see them paying for a Deep Purple cover?

 

[klownpoet]

Music for Nations sucks.

 

[opethpainter]

well... "deep purple just recorded it" it's not a good answer... of course we would like to have the opeth version, as we do with the other 2 cover songs by them

 

[Eazymop]

Didn't think it was that great a cover.
Better keep it unreleased. Maybe do a motorhead cover someday... that would be a kick ass idea!

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Downloading a bootleg with that song is a good option. Would be a nice bonus on a single perhaps...if they ever release a single.

 

[KIRILL]

Face it .. the original is much better ...
