[Orico1979]

2min bla bla bla

[DESNOISTIERS]

Brilliant version ! You guys should do a ATE version of an old motown tune ? maybe , just my imagination or Higher and Higher ( not technically Motown ) something along those lines . Or I could be crazy but I can hear it already .

cheers

[regularfan0224]

how can there be 1 dislike????????

[regularfan0224]

everybody i am truly the biggest fan of this band ever!!!!!!!!1

[08robertb]

anything johnny cash please . beggars cant be choosers :')

[WeAreAirborne]

I was at your show in Altanta last month, and you mentioned that you guys weren't sure you'd be allowed back after "last time." I was curious why. Now I know, I guess ^_^

[E1Diablito9]

"Like A Stone" from Audioslave. i'd love to hear you guys play that.

[BaseballProdigy]

You should cover "When the Night Feels My Song" by Bedouin Soundclash

[NassirtheArab]

I'd really like to see you guys cover a Tom Waits song...

Maybe "God's Away On Business" or even "Hold On" (one of my favorite songs of all times...)

I think that the way you cover the song instrumentally would be fascinating, and potentially BADASS, especially given the fact that Waits' instrumentation is...creative.

[OblivionSix]

Yaz- "Midnight", always thought this song would sound great a little more upbeat tempo and some a rougher edge male voice.

[ThatGirl794xY]

Everything I own by Bread

[rahjane]

I think you guys would totally rock 'The Boxer' by Simon & Garfunkel. See ya next week at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston!!

[LukeBoss13]

[leddy629]

Hotel California. You could put a new twist to it.

[3213528]

Would you please do a cover of the song Spanish Sahara by Foals

Im in love with this song and I think its a song right down your guys' alley and I think you would be able to make a great cover of it

[RyanTheAdvocate]

Grounds for Divorce by Elbow!:)

[soundhitman]

this was sooo funny when u guys were like this goes out to all the police stations that held us against our will, and then proceeded to name off like 10 places haha

[MrBadhabits4]

gravedigger - with a better voice than dm and being on the road to nelson status why not

[MrBadhabits4]

lets here the pain in your voice :) and I cant think of too many other better acoustic songs

[tunesandcoffee]

It would be marvelous if you could cover "I Won't Take the Blame" from Del Amitri's "Change Everything".

Most any Del Amitri song from "Twisted", "Change Everything" or "Waking Hours" would be most awesome! I think Del Amitri would be a perfect fit for your series.

[thedefiledofficial]

Murder in The City by The Avett Brothers. Cover that. Please. Please. Please. Please.

[12TheDude12]

Barry McGuire - Eve Of Destruction

[ebowen131]

[nessasxsunshine]

Mad World by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews :)

[strayerd]

I was thinking anything by the smiths, it's hard to choose a fav. but panic or ask would be kick ass! thank you again Mikel for the hug and the kind words the other night in sacramento. Hope you all enjoy your vacation!!! Nicole

[caxxandra2]

so, i was listening to "possium kindom" by the "toadies"

and couldn't help but to imagine how darin would kill the drums,

and how well noah and steven could rock the guitar and bass

on that song. But mostly, i was curious how anna and mikel might evoke an even more haunting sound to re-invent this classic, adding in a little viola, tate style!

would be sick ..no?

[toxictc13]

The best cover songs are ones where the band has a completely new take on a song, like Guns and Roses Live and Let Die or Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower. I think you guys should cover a really heavy song and make it your own. Idk if you could get the rights to do it, but I would love to hear your take on Metallica's One.

[toxictc13]

@toxictc13 another song I would really like to see your take on is Pantera Cemetery Gates

[zzfam]

How 'bout an Aerosmith Song like "Seasons of Wither" or "Adam's Apple", "Toys in the Attic" or "You See Me Cryin'" All classics- just like Airborne!

[Lav1122]

The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

Automatic Love Letter - Hush

[LockedxLoaded]
