If you could sing like anyone?

and "for no reason" is pretty harsh on the "War Pigs" cover - to me, that's the definitive version! i listen to it way more than the original! there's also the added bonus that if you do "War Pigs" at karaoke and sing it like Patton does, people who haven't heard the FNM version think you're putting your own spin on it, and buy you drinks afterwards! i did that, and actually ran off the little stage thing to go buy a drink during the instrumental parts in the middle of the song :evil:

I dunno if I could even talk that low, man.
It just seemed a bit pointless to have a cover like that on an the album when FNM were so much about being weird and let their individuality fly, then they just cover Sabbath? But then covers weren't really their forte. I like their cover of 'Easy,' but that's pointless too.

i think the whole point of "war pigs" was that it was something you wouldn't expect. you'd think they'd be against idea of covering such a well known classic, so they went ahead and did it to fuck with people. i've heard somewhere that the cover of "easy" was done to piss off people who shouted "play that cover song you guys do!" (reffering to war pigs, of course).
one of their best songs came from covering themselves though - you heard the re-recorded version of "as the worm turns" with patton on vocals? (the studio version, not the live one on that best of disc). kicks the original's ass, owing mainly to the fact that chuck mosely was a terrible vocalist, and patton is some sort of voice-god.
damn, we need us a FNM thread!

my mother saw FNM in upstate NY a loooooooooong time ago, and they did a cover of the Nestles theme song. it's still great.

Pfft, everyone knows the Albert's Lyrebird has way more indie cred.
Overkordbaever:
Kurt Cobain, Mark Lanegan or Steve Brooks (Floor, Torche). That would be kickass!
Kinda funny remark: Kurt Cobain's voice got better when he got into Heroin and Mark Lanegan was abusing various chemicals at the age of 17 or something == drug abusal makes you good at singing :D (more like gives the abuser a whiskey voice)
