Cover songs for the next DLR/VH album!

[POJO_Risin]

I can see...and even hear MCR...and Born to be Wild...

Well...I can hear Dave singing it...at this stage...not necessarily the band playing it. It just feels a bit cliche...but doesn't it all at this point?

[DlocRoth]

Totally agree..... Born to be wild... not now.

But Black Betty?

Yes PLEASE!

[Golden AWe]

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

The japanese LP will have "Sake Drinkers and Cock Raisers" as an extra track

[Golden AWe]

"I'm So Glad" worked well on VH too...though I think "Girl Gone Bad" was the "I'm So Glad" of Van Halen...

[Cato]

Dancing Queen




...............is a song they should not cover

[ZahZoo]

If they must... dig into the old Savoy Brown catalog like Dave did on his last album. Fit's Dave's voice perfectly and Ed's overdue for an old school Blues adventure!!

In the same vein... If they need a keyboard based song that showcases Ed's love of the ivories, then nothin better than Booker T & the MG's hit Green Onions!! Showcase the keyboard, room for some funky Ed guitar time and a bass line simple enough even Junior could master it with a good backing-track safety net!! Time for a classic Diamond Dave video reprise ala California Girls -vs- Pretty Woman to showcase this... Think of the possibilities...

AT This Point I would be Happy with Christmas CAROLS !!!!!! But Lets hear something !!!!!!!!

[ThatArtGuy]

I just have to point out that they don't *have* to do a cover. Half of the six pack didn't have covers either (WACF, FW, and 1984).

[Little Texan]

Might as well do another Kinks tune if they're going to have covers on the new album. How about "All Day and All of the Night"? Imagine what that would sound like Van Halenized?

[Diamondjimi]

Fuck The Kinks and Dave Davies with a rusty fork. Read why here...


If they had to chose one. I thought they did this one justice..

[VANISH]

Y & T Summer Time Girls ................

They could really rock out Hush by Deep Purple. I also love their version of The Rover, would be awesome to get a studio cut of it.

How about Last Child

[Coyote]

How 'bout something from the Top 40 charts?

That's how they started... And it would be a decent challenge for them.
