    I think that song Halenized would sound pretty cool....

      I do remember hearing something about "Magic Carpet Ride" back then, but there was so many bullshit rumors and fake insider troll bullshit going around back then, that who knows if it was true or not? As far as Steppenwolf covers go, I'm thinking "Born to be Wild" might actually work better. Or if they want to keep it bluesy, "God Damn The Pusher".

        Fuck that, change it up and blow everybody away - they should cover Shy Boy, or Tobacco Road even fucking better. Can't you hear Ed fucking destroying those?

            When Dave did his Vegas stint with Edgar Winter, he fucking knocked the hell out of a version of "Free Ride". Was actually my favorite performance of the night.

              Goin' Back Home by Dr. Feelgood - Dave can get the harp out, as well:

                If not on the new album, then for the road - I agree. No synths, just badass rock'n'roll. Have Love Will Travel by The Sonics - from 1965. This kicks butt.

                  Oh shit, I changed my mind. "Born to be Wild" would be out-fucking-standing.....

                    The Cult did it. Slayer did it. A few others have done it. Would be most awesome with the brown sound and Dave. I have a feeling they could end up owning that tune just like they took You Really Got Me from the Kinks.

                      That's exactly what I was thinking bro, I think Ed could tear up that riff....

                      I mean, I'm not a guitarist, and it seems like a fairly easy riff to play, but I would love to hear how EVH would play it....

                        Howz bout a Rod Stewart gem? I always liked You're Insane and Every Picture Tells a Story. I know, one is solo and one is Faces, but still Rod. I also always thought that Black Betty would be torn to shreds by them. It's got a spot for a drum spotlight, a guitar solo, and Dave would just kill on vocals.

                          If they were gonna do a Faces tune, this might work........

                            The Georgia Satellites recorded a cover of "Every Picture Tells A Story" for their first album, and it worked quite well. But I just can't hear Dave Roth singing "Spent some time feelin' inferior, standing in front of my mirror..." with any real conviction. In fact, it would be downright impossible to believe.

                              I hear ya.... Dave - expressing even a moment of self-doubt, ever? Not likely...
