Cover songs at live shows

Meat sang Black Betty during his summer 2005 tour, a song which he sang perfectly and I really enjoyed.

Why do you think he sang it? Is it edgier?

What other 'cover' would you like to hear him do live?

I think he sang it cause he can sing very fast, and the song is a fast song. besides that it has a bombastic style. I think he just likes the song.

I'd agree he sang it because he really likes the song, a good foot tapping get-off-your-ass-and-dance type song, but I wouldn't call it bombastic.

No it isn't but it definitely has some bombastic ingredients.

Pudding · 28 Feb 2006, 22:56

Depends what your idea of what bombastic is I suppose. I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

Meat played Black Betty as the third song at the Harewood House gig and it
was amazing. I wasn't expecting it and it blew me away.
I've been searching for a version that he might have included on a live cd
but, as of yet, no luck.

Better than the original, for me yes because it's by Meat!

I would love to hear Meat sing Hotel California, with Randy and Paul blazing out the guitar bits throughout the song. And Free Bird for the same reason.

By Kasim & rest of the NLE possibly, but I don't think that is A Meat song honestly... who knows though...
