invocati	Date: November 10, 2003 @ 3:54 PM Something from Enigma.
SleazyE	Date: November 10, 2003 @ 4:15 PM I been thinking about that, I wanna cover a song bad... just not sure what would transform into hip-hop well. I was thinkin of random 80's hits.
JFF	Date: November 10, 2003 @ 4:37 PM i know it's been done a 1000 times already, but i'd have to say the orange theme, damn i love that tune.
redrasta	Date: November 10, 2003 @ 4:42 PM I dunno what I'd do...but I'd love Marilyn Manson to cover "Dream a little Dream"..... I reckon he'd do a half decent job, actually.
kredd	Date: November 10, 2003 @ 6:28 PM 'to awake and avenge the dead' by thrice off of 'illusion of safety'. i think that is the name...know the songs more than the titles

ChillinBuzz	Date: November 10, 2003 @ 7:35 PM i'd like to cover one of these tunes: http://seismseism.dmusic.com/ i'm having difficulty adjusting my hearing to match the frequencies tho
monsquaz	Date: November 10, 2003 @ 7:42 PM I've considered covering a whole bunch of stuff, but I can never seem to arrange it quite right. Maybe I'm trying too hard to make it just like the original except with a different sound rather than doing it differently with my own personal touches. I have done two covers already, though. "Spat" I and II (see my notes on my first album) are both "covers" of the same tune. If you reverse the word "spat", you can figure out what it is.
KevBrock	Date: November 17, 2003 @ 10:16 PM I would do any cover song that I can sing and play really well, doesn't matter which song and doesn't matter what genre.

Gudnason	Date: November 19, 2003 @ 3:57 PM ?" id="69779">you mean ?
Jesuszilla	Date: November 19, 2003 @ 4:00 PM My eyes, they burn! Actually that's not that bad, it's quite nice to look at... for a few seconds then it gets boring.
Veracohr	Date: November 19, 2003 @ 6:49 PM Hey, since when can you post pictures in the forums? I've tossed around the idea of covering Tori Amos' "Hey Jupiter" for a while now. It's a little daunting to approach, though, adapting a song like that into the style I imagined (sort of techno-y). Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the Machine" would be cool to cover, it's got one of the most amazing-sounding synth leads ever (in my opinion, though it's not necessarily technically proficient.) And of course Energy 52's "Cafe Del Mar", though that's probably the most-covered trance song ever, and I would just be rehashing an old song. But it's still an amazing song. In fact, I actually fell in love with it from a cover version. I've only heard part of the original, and I must say that the one I first heard and fell in love with was quite a bit better. Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" is just too easy NOT to cover.
