Cover by MG

[cringleman]

With all due respect, Shiri ... where?

 

If you search "cover" or "covers" in the search engine, you don't really get anything that jumped out at me.

i WAS going to second that earlier mention of "The Same Deep Water As You"...

but since reading the rest of the posts, i'm all about Roxanne.

i may love The Cure, but Sting could take Robert Smith any day, and i want to stay on his good side.

I like "The Same Deep Water As You" and "Disintegration" By the Cure. My first band to play live on stage(nearly 20 years ago) was a Cure cover band.

 

The Sting/Police ideas are really cool. "Roxanne", "Can't Stand Losing You" and "Don't Stand So Close"(Done more like the "86" version) would rock. I think that Matt could do a far better job on a "Little Wing" cover than Sting did. Maybe as a duet with Holly McNarland.

 

I saw the Catherine Wheel suggestion, I think Matt would absolutely dominate with "Black Metallic" either electric or accoustic.

 

Matt has proven his versatility time and time again. I don't think there isn't much he can't do, if the feeling is write.

 

As a totally off the wall cover, I think "Run To You" By Bryan Adams would be pretty interesting. (Showing my age big time there)

MGB soundchecked that on the first Going Coastal/MuchWest special when they were on the island. In all likelihood, that's as close as Matthew'll get. ;)

things behind the sun - nick drake

gravedigger, minarets, don't drink the water - dave matthews

Good to know about the Bryan Adams cover. I like the Pink Floyd cover idea...I think Comfortably Numb, electric would be bombastic.

 

Dave Matthews covers would be kewl too...The Stone would kick ass.

[burl]

Since he is in this folky stage, anthing bruce springsteen or bob dylan would be amazing!

[yakasushii]

Change in the House of Flies by Deftones. The music is similar to his style but his vocals could make the song even better.

i was thinking of that song too!

 

someone also suggested "round here" by the counting crows. that would be really interesting! i would love to hear matt sing that song...

[Alex Ross]

Bob Dylan.

[the old guy]

Straight to Hell by The Clash.

[bishopx]

Resist by Rush

[Stryfe]

Puff the magic dragon!

[Some Random]

i'd like to hear him cover 'crowd surf off a cliff' by emily haines.

[heyrabbit]

animal(s?) by nickelback!

[Crusader]

if he played savin' me by nickelback... oh man.

[AnOceanPearl]

I think I said "Ashes of American Flags" by Wilco earlier, but frankly, I think he could pull off most any Wilco tune.

[wuhwuhwolf]

Deftones: Change

The Clash: Straight to Hell

Bloc Party: Like Eating Glass

 

Yep.

[Some Random]

Deftones: Change

[Shiri]

Haha, Matt covering Bloc Party is hard to imagine.

[Crusader]
