Songs You'd Love to Hear AB Cover?

Post by Fish Tacos »

Le topic

I think a song like this would be right up Myles' alley if he wanted to do more stuff like Traveling Riverside Blues.

Some Zeppelin or Soundgarden would be cool and would fit Myles' voice I think. I think the key is to play something classic that everyone knows but that isn't played to death by other bands already.

Led Zeppelin: Achilles Last Stand, Dazed And Confused
Soundgarden: Rusty Cage, Jesus Christ Pose

Though I could see Myles having a hard time with the last one :lol

Achilles Last Stand? I dont know if this would work out pretty well.

Btw. Covers are utopic, I mean they dont even play like 2/3 of their own songs lol.

^^ Exactly.

Anywho, if I'm paying to go see an Alter Bridge headlining show, I would want all the songs to be AB songs (them playing Highway Star during the West Coast leg is an exception since they had Glenn Hughes and California Breed touring with them) and since there's a lot of songs that they do not play live that we think can translate well live, that should be the main priority over covers.

On the main topic, I want to see them bring back Kashmir. The versions I watched on youtube, especially during Download 2005, was pretty good. If only they have the desire to do a covers EP, but not enough time and lack of willingness to commit due to other obligations will prevent that from happening.

Nobody's Fault But Mine would be cool to see. when they were doing the Zep stuff before i always wanted them to do that one.

Sweet Emotion was great, i wouldn't mind seeing that again.

Ultimately though, i'd prefer they throw in a bunch of their songs they've never played....i.e. Fallout, All Ends Well...

Now that I think about it a little further, with Mark settling in a little better in doing lead vocals, I think I can see them do Hunger Strike ok.

I've always wanted them to do a Christmas album. I'd kill to hear Myles sing O Holy Night.

"The Real thing" By Faith No More.. They were far ahead of their time. Epic song - I could see Myles and Mark Splitting the vocals.. Myles could do his dissonant guitar stuff all over it. Great chugga parts for Mark.. maybe tone down the cookie monster rock parts a bit.. it would be amazing.. :yes

"Ramble on" would be an amazing Zep cover, and definitely a challenge for All. Just imagine Brian trying that cool bass line, Tremonti on the acoustic guitar, and Myles doing the electric parts.

ABBA's Lay Your Love on Me would be sick. And Myles is a fan of ABBA too.
