    How about the theme song from "Friends"?Seriously doubt the boys are ever gonna cover a song from some one hit wonder from the 90's.Just think they should cover something a little more EPIC!!!! :roll:
    Bonnaroo 08,Tampa 08,Kissimmee 04,Tampa 03,House of Blues 03,Tampa 00,W.Palm Beach 00,W.Palm Beach 00,Ft.Lauderdale 96,St.Pete 94,Orlando 92,Jannus Landing 92.

    The opening song for Law and Order. They could call it "Not for you".

    In all honesty, I would like them to cover "I'd love to change the world" by Ten Years After. I think Ed could kill the vocal outburst, and Mike could kill the guitar parts.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    Plush, haha. Actually I'd like to hear Pearl Jam cover Interstate Love Song, Eddie would probably have a pretty cool take on that vocally.

    Would love to hear them grind out the intro to Emminence Front...in any context.

    And Custard Pie comes to mind as well..

  • veddertownveddertown Posts: 5,260
    I'd sooner hear rare stuff more often than add to the good covers we already get but The Beatles - And Your Bird Can Sing, Neil Young - Mr. Soul and Soundgarden - Ty Cobb would do nicely!

    Man I can just envision Boom laying out the keyboard intro to that song and the band just jamming out the rest of that song on an epic scale.That song could blend into numerous other staples on the setlists BEAUTIFULLY!!!! :twisted:

    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...
  • jimbojones1138jimbojones1138 Posts: 3,640
    they should also cover their own "black red yellow" because they need to play this more ;)

    I've always wanted to hear them do a cover of The Who- Water.
    Also would be cool to hear what Ed sounds like singing a Cranberries song.

    I'm a huge Ryan Adams fan and I always thought Eddie would really be able to nail a lot of his stuff. The thought of Eddie singing 'Dear Chicago', for example, gives me goosebumps....

    Eminence Front and Gimme Shelter are my two fav suggestions so far.

    I realize "Sympathy for the Devil" is on their songs list, but I think it should be played again - in full. I am no expert, but I think it was only tags to songs. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Ed solo doing 'La Cienega Just Smiled' would be beautiful.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
