Covers?

[bueno bob]

So, if you had the opportunity to give Dave a list of covers you'd like to hear him do, what would be on the list?

My choices?

All Summer Long - The Beach Boys
I Love the Night - Blue Oyster Cult
Desperado - Alice Cooper
Fireball - Deep Purple
Black Water - The Doobie Bros.
L.A. Woman - The Doors
One of These Nights - The Eagles
Dead Ringer for Love - Meat Loaf (duet with SOMEBODY hot...)
Roxanne - The Police
Sea Cruise (Oldie but goodie, can't remember who did it originally...)

Just a few ideas I think it'd be cool to hear his voice over...

Anyone else?

[Rikk]

Man, L.A. WOMAN, DESPERADO and ALL SUMMER LONG are great ideas.

How about:

VAN MORRISON - Jackie Wilson Said
SOUNDGARDEN - Rusty Cage (with a bit of a Johnny Cash feel)
ROLLING STONES - Prodigal Son (actually an old blues tune)
T.REX - Planet Queen
JAMES GANG - Funk #49

Huh? There are covers that Dave hasn't already done?

I think Dave has done more covers than originals. Ever notice how half of the songs he did with VH were covers? Whereas 99% if not 100% of the songs Sammy did with VH were originals?

Of course 100% of Hagar's material is dust bin material.

[redballjet]

I've always thought a DLR version of "Gimme Three Steps" would be awesome

[Big Troubles]

How's about a cover of It's About Time?

In all seriousness, Im surprised Dave hasn't covered a Rolling Stones tune or two.

Honky Tonk Woman

I would love to hear him do Hendrix's Fire.

Also lots of blues tunes as I mentioned in another thread

[RogueHorseman]

Two which have always struck me as a perfect match are, "L.A. Woman" (i think Bob mentioned it, too) and in a CFTH treatment, Mongo Jerry's "In The Summertime".

Bill Wither's "Use Me" could be incredible

The lady knows her shit!!

Dave would sound amazing doing anything from Wither's catalog.

Aint no sunshine.... anything.

5 stars.

[DlocRoth]

Aw hell, I already hit you up. LOL

Anyways, stellar idea.

Great song.

Never thought of Dave covering it until now, but I could hear it fitting in right along side several cuts on Diamond Dave...

Along your more bluesy take Diamondsgirl, how about ZZ Top's "Jesus Just Left Chicago"?

I bet you'd about die hearing him cover Mississippi John Hurt's "Candy Man"...

I was just thinking the same thing... Even "Just The Two of Us", I could hear him pulling off with ease.

good to know in case I am ever asked.

[diamondsgirl]

the one I have been dying for is John Lee Hooker's "Shake it baby" . He could nail that!

This is the reason I never responded to your blues thread... I would talk all day and never get any work done.

Maybe I need to take a day off, anyway...

You know I'm a crawlin' kingsnake baby, and I rules my den
I don't want you hangin' around my mate,
Wanna use her for myself

You know you caught me crawlin' baby
When the, when the grass was very high
I'm just gonna keep on crawlin' now baby until the day I die,
because I'm a crawlin' kingsnake baby, and I rules my den
Don't you hangin' around my mate, wanna use her for myself

You know I'm gon' crawl up to your window baby,
wanna crawl up to your door, you got anything I want baby,
wanna crawl up on your floor
Because I'm a crawlin' king snake baby, and I rules my den

You know you caught me crawlin' baby when the,
When the grass was very high

I'd be first in line to buy!

Pure pig ignorance. At least know your subject before attacking it.

Your fag SAMBO spends half his time at his shitty cantina playing old covers (hey, let's cover ZEPPELIN...yeah that's inventive ...i love ZEPPELIN, but can't you be more inventive?).

Dave has recorded almost completely originals during his career. He had a couple of covers on VHI, one on VHII, five on DIVER DOWN, three (I believe) on EAT 'EM AND SMILE, and maybe a couple more plus the COVER ALBUM (get that? a theme?). Dave has recorded more originals than you've had back alley anal rape with another man...and you've had a lot of that shit.

Now get back in the Fucking Pen!!

And when Hagar covers something...

His vocals on WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN are awful!!!

Now you're talking. He could also do TUESDAY'S GONE.

The only thing Sammy Hagar ever sang on and it didn't really bother me was the first MONTROSE album. That's a good album. But that was 1973.

Since then, he's ruined every album he's sung on. He's simply awful.

[RogueHorseman]

Not to mention that old red has been (badly) covering Roth lyrics all summer long...

And has progressively gotten worse, and worse, and worse over time.

"Sammy The Screech" is what I call him, for good reason.

the guy who didn't play on the last records...but is needed on stage to fill up the picture...and to give lame interviews, carry the suitcases and say "yes, man..."

Is that Dave or what?

The Kinks - All Day And All Of The Night
The Kinks - Paranoia
The Kinks - Come Dancing

I can pretty much imagine Dave doing any Rock n Roll song, but those 3 'really got me'. Funny though, I'm not particularly a Kinks fan.
