Cover songs you would like to hear the BREAKFAST play [MERGED]

[tyzack]

Morning Dew

I really, really love this song.... But I do NOT think the Breakfast have any business playing it...

With cover songs there are always three basic options:

1.) Cover the original recording
2.) Cover a cover
3.) Make the song over with a structure more akin to the performing bands tastes/abilities/likings

Alot of people from a very diverse range of musical groups have covered it.

i really wish they\'d bring bak some zappa covers. i can\'t help it, they are one of the only bands that can pull them off and it is sick everytime. willie the pimp at stonechurch is the only zappa cover since matt joined the band, and that barely counts. i\'m talking aboout some ser arf, cleetus, peaches, pygmy, shit like that. fuck it, lets hear a cheepnis

[peaches626]

play some queen.

:that:



For the record: I don\'t necessarily think they should do Stevie\'s Spanking, but everyone should see this video. Now that is how a guitar solo is done.

machine gun - hendrix

i tihnk all hendrix convers should be forever shelved by every band for all eternity

I saw the Roots cover it 2 weekends ago and they KILLED it. they are a very versatile band

[Drew_Kingsley]

Whatever happened to Badge (2/17/2007) and Heaven & Hell (2/1/07 and 3/8/07)? I thought they were both steps in the right direction, in terms of cover selection.

Also, what do I Wanna Get High, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, Life\'s Been Good and Karma Police have in common? They were all Timmy Tour songs that found their way into Breakfast shows and then vanished. I\'m not passing judgment on any of those songs as good or bad choices, but I do like the idea that any song on Timmy Tour (or, for that matter, any song that one of the band members knows the lyrics to and the rest of the band more or less knows instrumentally) may pop up in a Breakfast setlist... played seriously, not 7/6/08 Daniel St. style.

With cover songs there are always three basic options:

1.) Cover the original recording
2.) Cover a cover
3.) Make the song over with a structure more akin to the performing bands tastes/abilities/likings

You forgot the fourth option: not playing it at all.

guest vocalist would do nicely on Morning Dew but I have no idea WHO.

It would be great to get some Zappa back in rotation. Also, please bring back Space Oddity and/or 2001!

If they\'re going to cover a Grateful Dead song I think The Other One or The Eleven would be more fitting that Morning Dew.

Agreeded in terms of playing style;

Cosmic Charlie, St. Stephen, The Elven, (full) The Other One, or New Potato Cabose, would all be good breakfast tunes.

Maybe Caution...

I bet the current Breakfast could do a killer Alabama Getaway.

space oddity is a must, and it will be done and i know the show where it will make its return

[Drew_Kingsley]

The Other One was the only Dead cover that I always enjoyed at Breakfast shows (and Help > Slip, though I only saw it live once).

Granted, I was not around during the Terrapin Station days.

[Vassillios]

I just don\'t think dead songs fit this band\'s style

I\'ve never heard them play it.

Do they do:

Cyrptical Envelopment->That it\'s for the Other One->Cyprtical?

Or just That it\'s for the Other One?

Sometimes, when they are in a funky mood, their Shakedown is not bad.

WHERE DUDE??
