Gilbertk Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 If Rush released another cover album, which songs could you hear them covering? I can hear them doing "Good Times, Bad Times" from Led Zeppelin. Good solo points for all three and the jams sound a lot like old Rush. It's easy to hear why people mistook early Rush for Zeppelin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 None. Simply because I hope they never do another 'Feedback' type record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animate Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) They should not cover any Zep songs. The time to do that is was over. Those young Plant vocals are way out of Geddy's current vocal range and it would lead to unfair comparisons. THere are so many great old songs that had vocals that Geddy could nail. The best songs would be ones that could really be kicked up a sonic notch by Rush with out compromising the vocal quality. For example: 1. Blind Faith "Cant Find My Way Home" 2. Joe Walsh "Walk Away" 3. Canned Heat "On the Road Again" 4. Wild Cherry "Play that Funky Music, White Boy" Edited May 19, 2012 by Animate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock and Roll - Led Zeppelin 3. Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple 4. Hey Joe - The Jimi Hendrix Experience 5. Baba O' Riley - The Who 6.

I enjoyed the album, but I prefer the originals of every song they covered. Doing a great cover song is hard - the only way it can really work is if you change it up fairly dramatically from the original and/or make it an even better song. Rush didn't do either of those, but that's no fault of theirs, it's just a really difficult thing to pull off. Feedback was decent, but they're really way too talented a band to be wasting a moment doing covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's a discussion forum.

laughedatbytime Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I would enjoy seeing them cover "Eight Miles High" by the Byrds. And I really enjoyed their one plus minute "cover" of Paint It Black they did at Sarsfest (probably not the right term ), and feel they could do a great job with that. Does anyone know how long they spent recording Feedback? I doubt it took them too much time, and if they found it rejuvenating, it could extend their career rather than wasting the time they do have left. (They DO sound rejuvenated these days without doing this, however.) Ultimately, while I love getting new music from them (and I'm incredibly eager to hear CA), they should do exactly what they want...they've given us so much to date that to demand or even expect more is, IMHO, selfish.

Yardbirds were always considered a "pre-Zep" band because of Page...Anywho, it'd be awesome to see a Zep song like Kashmir. Kashmir - Led Zeppelin Musical Box or Lamb Lies Down - Genesis (odd choice...) Point of Know Return - Kansas Time - Pink Floyd ...Interesting enough, maybe cover songs of bands that THEY actually influenced? Tonight, Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins One - Metallica (kind of pushing it there) Tribute - Tanacious D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) I would like them to actually cover Prog songs. Of course it should be songs that they could actually reproduce in their style. Led Zepplin:..........The Song Remains the Same Genesis................. Dance on the Volcano Moody Blues......... The Voice CSN&Y.................. Wooden Ships Black Sabbath...... Paranoid Yngvie Malmsteen. Little Savage King Crimson........ Starless UK......................... In the Dead of Night Asia....................... Wildest Dreams Zebra................... Take Your Fingers From my Hair Deep Purple.......... The Battle Rages On YES....................... Tempus Fugit Kansas.................. The Wall I know that tour would be pretty interesting! Edited October 25, 2012 by losingit2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexmai Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 If I were them, I'll find old concerts and look if there are cover versions that deserve... then do an official bootleg of them as the companion to Feedback II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
