Cover songs for the next DLR/VH album!

[GAR]

nobody threw this one out yet?

[hambon4lif]

Being the worlds most badass bar-band....they should do Bachman-Turner Overdrives "Let It Ride". It gives Eddie plenty of room to fuck around in, Alex could definitely show off his skills during the breakdown....and Dave could give the world one good howl for the road.

Go out the same way you came in......slaying the motherfucking WORLD!

......suggestions like this are from real, die-hards like us......it'll never reach them.

...It's a helluva thought though.....that's how I'd like to see them go out....kicking ass!

[hambon4lif]

It would work....it would kick everyones ass....it would fucking WORK!!

Cover Song For The Next Album?

... this has probably been covered here before but hey why not one more time ...

... classic vh with dave was notorious for rearranging and improving other people's songs, pretty woman being their most famous reworking. in addition to a couple of keyboard songs a la jump and i'll wait on the next offering from the gods, a cover song would also be in keeping with tradition. i seem to recall wilson picket's in the midnight hour being talked about many moons ago ...

... what about a reworking of stevie wonder's supersition produced to sound just like dancing in the streets???

[PETE'S BROTHER]

i thought "one more time" was an excellent suggestion....http://www.google.com/url?url=http:/...gyga3M6doIijGQ

First of all, no goddamn keyboard songs. And don't even bring a synthesizer on the tour. There's gonna be a new album, they can take Jump off the set list, and "I'll Wait" shouldn't have been on the last one. There are so many better songs for an encore. This should be a guitar oriented rock n roll album.

As for the cover songs.... go with blues or R&B. "In The Midnight Hour" would be great.

Or how about "Crossroads" (which they actually played a bit of on the second leg of the reunion tour)

[GreenBayLA]

No way Van Halen 2010 do an April Wine song. If they do a cover it's a well known hit that can get them some radio airplay. They're about as likely to rock up this version of One More Time.

VH's version of Beer Drinkers And Hell Raisers is killer. hope they play it again in studio.

[FORD]

I don't know.... I'm kinda partial to THIS song "One More Time" myself.....

Can't see them pulling that one off without Sobolewski on board.

[chefcraig]

Can't see them pulling that one off without Sobolewski on board.

My choice would be "Tin Cup Chalice", but again, it would need those strong backing vocals.

[diamondsgirl]

In no particular order:

Hendrix's Fire would be the cat's balls. IMO.

As would Bill Withers Use Me.

And I always liked that under rated tune by (the very under rated Boston based band) Treat her Right called I Think She Likes Me. Dave would nail the shit outta that song.

[thome]

If we merged this thread with the 50 others on this subject we will have perhaps covered every some ever written.

And I love that ...but this -IS- the only tune they should do.

I would like to see Dave and Ed's treatment of this gem.. Make It HOT!!~!
