What song(s) would you most like AB to do a cover of?

Post by Timotheus »

To keep the AB-talk going: What song would you most like AB to do a cover of?

Let's be creative and think completely out of the box, alright? :lol

For me:

Might be a bit too low for Myles' voice (it's more of a Stapp song actually), but I'm pretty sure that they could make an awesome version of it!

One of the most epic songs ever written. Imagine Myles and Mark trading off solo's at the end of the song :bow

I don't know. I've always liked that cover of Kashmir at the Download Festival in 2005. So I guess that.

They did a bit of Enter Sandman once with Mark on the vocals. I wonder how it would sound in full version.

Maybe some Audioslave? Much as I love the original http://youtu.be/Ec88EIGyb6E and Chris solo acoustic http://youtu.be/60FxA6ld7E4 on I Am The Highway, would be interesting to see what AB would do with it. Also their song Moth http://youtu.be/RKtd7Lzwtqs

I've said this one time and time again. As long as they don't try to rock it up too much, they could make an epic version of this.

Seeing as they've already covered Sweet Emotion, I could think AB could do alot of Aerosmith's early songs well, especially..

I think they would cover some Soundgarden songs well too, not the super high vocals stuff like Jesus Christ Pose, because I think Myles' voice has too thin of a tone for that, but I could imagine AB playing songs like Mind Riot, or Like Suicide.

Going off of the Audioslave thing, I'd like to see them cover "Show Me How to Live." Also, I'd like to see "The Unforgiven," and a song many people haven't heard that I would recommend, "The Mile" by Dead Letter Circus. "The Mile" isn't a famous song, but it's a damn good one.

That would be incredible!

Seeing them do audioslaves "doesn't remind me" might be cool. Do an original solo though.

Most of Soundgarden would sound top. But I would love them to give Live's Lakini's Juice a go.

Audioslave is clearly a favourite! What about 'Be Yourself'?

And this might be absolutely crazy, but it would be out of this world if they tried some Muse! Imagine them playing something like Citizen Erased or Micro Cuts!

I'd love to see Myles try to squeeze out those high notes in the chorus :D

I've been saying for years that they should cover Aces High by Iron Maiden

[youtube]http://youtu.be/COvCPJGjaiE[/youtube]

But some of the above suggestions of Muse and Soundgarden would sound awesome

Their cover of Rock n' Roll by Led Zep blew me away though, they should definitely take that into the studio and release it as a B side or something

Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On

Would like to hear Myles sing that with Mark playing the solo.

That would (also) be incredible! Especially if there were back up vocals.

And yeah, I like cheesey stuff. i.e. cheetos

Personally leaning toward Audioslave over Soundgarden because we can get the real SG again but I don't know if Chris will ever do Audioslave songs with a full band again. And there are a number of Audioslave songs where Tom's solos turn me off (e.g., Exploder, Hypnotize, Bring Em Back Alive - which would otherwise be one of my favorites). I know they're both brilliant guitarists but just personally maybe I'd like Mark's better.

let's see Myles do a wee acoustic version of Bible Belt. Yea, I hadn't fanboi'd over DTR in like 3 days I felt it was necessary.
