If Shihad were to cover one song for their new album, what song would you want that to be?

fuck the americans just this once i think. I mean we were the badass's who put up with shihad when they had long hair which just looked silly on them. So we have put up with shihad for 12 years so they cover should be a NZ song. I mean if they are going to change their name for american success which is sorta silly they should at least do this for us eh?
i also say cover Randolph's coming Home

nah... go hard on it. all the best hard rock came out of britain during those days... even the brit metal was big time with the likes of iron maiden (probably part of the shihad diet at some point). shihad with todays tech would tear it to peices.

Maybe a Paul Holmes classic? Couldn't name any for ya's tho'. okay, perhaps creditial suicide wouldn't be in order...
in honesty though i'd like to hear a heavier version of led zeppelins achilles last stand. that would be a tough, tough call...even joe satriani would be sweating to cover that.
obvious by janes addiction? but because i have genuine care for the saftey of jon's testicles in hitting some of those farrell notes, we'll leave it alone...
chocolate cake was a fine choice mr stefan... acually yeah, totally. maybe they could cover their own 'get up', at least they wouldn't have to learn it... what a stupid fucking idea that was!? bet it would still sound the shit tho'.

allthough i agree that the strategic choice of an internationally recognised song would be successful, I can't help but agree with fellow NZM studio people that Darcy Clay's - All I Gotta Do has Shihad written all over it. A punked up fat drum beat version would rule.

hmmm... is this really going to be used? if so it is a wee bit silly. i mean, you should only cover a song if you think there is something you can really add to the song.... otherwise... why cover it?
It should be the bands decision. are there any songs they feel they could add to?

//you should only cover a song if you think there is something you can really add to the song....
ahuh, nice thinking peaches, you should start up a covers band called "a wee bit silly"
Hmmm a covers BAND is a complete ...
Hmmm a covers BAND is a complete different thing to an established group covering ONE song....
In a covers band you would want the songs to sound as much like the original as possible....because they are trying to recreate the feel of the original band etc....but if a well-established band like shihad covered ONE song you would want them to ADD somthing to it. Wouldn't that be the whole point! Who wants to hear to band cover the song and hear it sound exactly the same as the original?!
That is why i think they should think long and hard about it instead of just seeing what the majority of fans would prefer....
There must a a song out there they have all loved but thought "hey if we turned the guitars up hear and sampled some of this in here and made the lyrics wail a bit less....."

Shihad should cover Crowded House's song "You'd Better Be Home Soon". Shihad rock, but when they mellow out and slow down, they produce some beautiful songs like "Debs Night Out" and "Pacifier" and i think they would do an awesome cover of this song. Chuck out the distortion pedals, I say!
