what song would you like to hear the boys cover?

[j9]

Me, I'm No Angel by Greg Allman. Every time I hear it lately, thats what I think! Or what songs you have heard them cover live? ;)

[senoRita]

At the Denver Fillmore sound check we heard them cover The Beatles' Eight Days a Week. I'd love to hear them cover more of The Beatles songs. Maybe some more Stevie Wonder tunes too. :D

[Amor]

"Livin' la vida loca" - just a thought! :confused: :)

[llbheaven]

A few of us heard them do Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic" at the Honolulu sound check--just beautiful. I'd love to hear them do that one in concert. Also, one of my all-time favorite songs, "I Heard it Through the Grapevine." I think they can cover just about anything... :D

[cre8ivepoet]

Ya know this is gonna sound crazy (big fat surprise) but I've been listening to a lot of Elvis lately. I'd love to hear them sing, 'Jail House Rock', 'Love Me Tender' A Capella, and 'All Shook Up'.

Whoa Mama. I bet they'd bring down the house with those.

[kimann]

Going to California, Led Zep. :D

kim

[LLB cyberfan]

The '80s hard rock band Dokken's 1985 ballad "Alone Again"...and done acoustic too!! :cool:

Trish

[bernadettemanza]

Call me crazy, but "Bernadette" by The Four Tops?? :)

Cree - I also love Elvis. "Can't Help Falling in Love" is beautiful.

If they wanna rip the flesh off my bones and be raw, I love Breaking Benjamin. Some classic Metallica (maybe Nothing Else Matters) or Guns N Roses (November Rain or Don't Cry) would be sooo awesome.

[SadFlower83]

I would love to see them play:

Whose That Lady~ Isley Brothers

We're an American Band~ Grand Funk Railroad

Anything By The Eagles

and

Get Back
Save a Dance
Shake with My Baby~ Carlos Guitarlos

Sara

[j9]

Whos That Lady, wow. that WOULD be cool! I am glad we all have a diverse opinion on this subject. My dream cover would be a song called "Janine" by Mike Doughty, now that would be nice. :)

[SadFlower83]

Little Wing~ Jimi Hendrix :cool:

Sara

[j9]

How about, I've Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash!

[mmmbopnmommy]

I'd like to see/hear them do a few Skynyrd songs-- like "give me 3 steps" , "gimme back my bullets", and "that smell"..........
I think they could pull them off , no problem at all!!!

I LOVE the idea of doing Metallica' "Nothing Else matters" OMG- I LOVE that song!! Never imagined them doing it, but now that I think about it, I WANT to hear it!! LOL :D

[Belle]

Brown eyed Girl.

If you aren't dancing by the end of that one - you dead!

[cre8ivepoet]

Brown eyed Girl.

If you aren't dancing by the end of that one - you dead!

That is one of my favorite songs. Excellent choice.

[pesonetoLLB]

"sin delito" by ramon ayala comes to mind.i heard them sing a short verse of that one during a WXRT chicago radio interview.i had never heard it 'til then.i would like to see them do a conjunto music album. an album exploring all their styles&influences would be awesome too.they could title that one"the burrito theory".L.O.L.

[bernadettemanza]

Scratch my last Elvis comment. "Always On My Mind" by Elvis is definitely my all time favorite by the King. Oooh, and I like "Brown Eyed Girl" too.

Tighten up Now- Archie Bell and The Drells

Hi everybody
I'm Archie Bell of the Drells
From Houston, Texas
We don't only sing but we dance
Just as good as we walk
In Houston we just started a new dance
Called the Tighten Up
This is the music
We tighten up with

First tighten up on the drums
Come on now, drummer
I want you to tighten it up for me now
Oh, yeah

Tighten up on that bass now
Tighten it up
Ha, ha, yeah
Now let that guitar fall in
Oh, yeah
Tighten up on that organ now....

Oldie but goodie, orale!

Well, from the San Angelo show (and others), I thought they did a pretty fair job with "I'm A Man". Although, died-in-the-wool Chicago fan that I am, it doesn't sound right without a fat sound.

Ya know, I once heard someone say the boys were the most phenomenal cover band ever. I can't think of anything they couldn't do well. I know that one night in Alabama, a sax and a clarinet joined them for a jam. Some of you remember when LosOnceThereWasAFanNamedAmyGirl told us about that one?

Therefore, I'm going way far out on a limb:

Mary Had A Little Lamb - the version by Paul McCartney and Wings

and

All My Life's A Circle - by Harry Chapin

I can't count the number of kids I've taught to sing those songs - and I'd love to have versions by LLB.

And can't you just imagine them doin' David Allan Coe's "You Never Call Me By My Name"? Can you just see LLB singing the GREATEST COUNTRY MUSIC SONG EVER WRITTEN?

[Marielle]

Tighten up- Archie Bell and The Drells
OMG-I LOVE that old song-they have it on their MySpace page :D

Okay, would love to hear the guys rock out to Back in Black or jam real sweet and slow to Allman Brothers Melissa

[La Sonrisa]

Tighten up Now- Archie Bell and The Drells
Oldie but goodie, orale!

Great choice mija. And with LLB's spice added...

There is an awesome version of LLB and Ronnie doing the song together on you tube.

one of my managers put "Whip It" over the speaker phones this morning. I could see the boys doing that song! Jojo's bass would an excellent feature in that song!

[artist debbie]

BUMP-in' this one up!
I'd like to hear anything SRV or Jimi...
AMERICAN BAND (Grand Funk RR)(also like Deb and Sarah!)
CHINA GROVE (Doobie Bros)
WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN ( Percy Sledge)
MORE THAN WORDS (Extreme)
BUT I'm still HOPING to hear ALL Of VooDooChile...someday!!!!!!!! (my #1 cover request!)

.........Dreams really DO come true!!!

{{HHUUGGSS}}
Debbie

[j9]

More Than Words by Extreme would be an awesome cover!

[El STR]

Boom, Boom... Out Go The Lights, by Pat Travers. It's a high energy live song... kinda like... Man to Beat.

[Tasina]

Maggot Brain - George Clinton Funkadelic

and of course, anything by the Beatles. .

While my guitar gently weeps would probably be something they would totally fly with.

[gprecella]

Feel like makin' love - Bad Company.... can you imagine how Ringo could make the drum part of the song sound!

[cre8ivepoet]

Free Ride by Edgar Winter!

[llbheaven]

On my way home tonight KFOG played the Rolling Stones version of Route 66--released in 1964-1965? And while I was listening I kept thinking: the boys could do a really good version of this song!

[SadFlower83]

I would also like to hear their versions of:

*Rocking on the Highway
*Listen to the Music

By the DOOBIE BROTHERS :cool: :cool: :cool:

[bertie]

Love all your ideas. I know the Boys could do all those songs wonderfully! I've always wanted to hear them do the Stones' "Satisfaction", one of my favorite songs.

[llbeagle]

WHEN THE MORNING COMES (Hall & Oates) , even though it doesn't lend itself to any screaming wailing guitar solo for Henry, the vocals would be nice to hear them do, and it's always been one of my favorites!

[llbeagle]

oh, and also.. GIMME SOME LOVIN' (steve winwood/spencerdavis group), what with I'm a Man, now that's bringing up all those good oldies.

[jmecale72]

I'm also a diehard Chicago fan, and when I heard the boys were doing "I'm A Man", I was kinda skeptical at first. But after hearing it, my band is definitely going to add that to the set list...LLB style of course!

And yes...I could hear them doing DAC!!!! :p

[llbeagle]

oh, how about SMOKE FROM A DISTANT FIRE ? maybe a bit on the pop side to lend itself to any heavy-duty jamming, but then again, look who we're talkin' about now. they cut set "SILENT NIGHT" on fire (maybe they will on that Christmas release they're speaking of). but can't ya just hear JoJo in particular singing those lyrics , "if things are the same then explain why your kiss is so cold" -- yeah

[Rh Onda]

uh, HELP ME, RHONDA, of course! :D (I know... not their style) stictly selfish reason

[Heather]

I am a Van Morrison fan and I would like to hear their version of "Moon Dance". I LOVE how they do "Superstition" . . .why isn't that on CD?

[teresadawn]

[cherienjim]

I'd like to hear the Boys play "Sleepwalk" by Santo & Johnny. :p
