Cover tunes

What, if any, cover tunes do you play live?

bostjan · 02-08-2006, 03:08 AM

Highway Star (Deep Purple) and Crystal Mountain (Death) on the most recent set list.

I played in tons of cover bands where we only played covers.

My band does a block party every year, which we play mostly cover tunes. Anywhere from GNR, to Skynyrd, to Lit, to Godsmack, to AC/DC, to Metallica, to Dio, to anything that strikes our fancy really.

Some of the 'regular' songs we cover live are just about anything from Metallica (Disposable Heroes, Puppets, Sanitarium, Seek & Destroy, One), Ozzy (Over the Mountain, Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley), Pantera (Domination, Walk, Cowboys, Cemetery Gates, Fucking Hostile).

We're looking to learn (as a band), Holy Wars... The Punishment Due and Raining Blood next. Possibly some Maiden.

Yeah, we're metal like that.

Haven't done a ton of them live. We did Breadfan <<<maybe a spelling issue there. Also, used to do God of Thunder.

But in practice... sheesh... I am a Viking, Little Wing, Manic Depression, Into the Void, Where Eagles Dare (misfits)... a lot of different ones.

I covered that one once, too. Only Misfits song I've ever done. Didn't last long because no one really appreciated it. I thought we might have been the only band to cover that one, but now I know.

I think at one time or another I've covered every song off ...And Justice for All except Dyer's Eve. Guess it may be time to cross that one off the list, heh.

Best song on that album.

My old band did a couple of Thin Lizzy songs, Over the Hills and Far Away, Living After Midnight, and Tie Your Mother Down.

Naren · 02-08-2006, 08:20 AM

I used to be in a cover band and we did some of these:

Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (my idea. We did a rocky version of it)
Alice In Chains - Would
Led Zeppelin - Good Times, Bad Times; Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You; Kashmir
Faith No More - Epic
Jimi Hendrix - Foxey Lady, Purple Haze
Metallica - Seek And Destroy
Soundgarden - Fell On Black Days
Nirvana - Rape Me

We did a bunch of other songs too.

Lately? Iced Earth's "The Hunter" and Metallica's "Damage, Inc."
