doing metal/rock covers of songs
 

Okay so many metal and rock bands have done covers of songs by other musicians.

So I would like to ask you what songs would you do covers of??

I want to do covers of songs such as danny boy, don't let me be the last to know and I'm so excited.

Cheesy I know but meh any song can be made into a metal anthem right.

I've always thought "Only the Good Die Young" by Billy Joel would make a good cover for a metal band.
Preferably by a band like Metallica or Motorhead.

Just an FYI I fixed up your very annoying and bad grammar. You're welcome. :)

Just an FYI, I added a comma to your post. You're welcome. ;)

Just an FYI: I changed your comma to a colon. You're welcome. Grammar Nazis rule!!! :D

I knew something was bugging me about that comma. I almost put a period at the end, but that didn't seem right. I'm more happy to have my (unasked) question answered than I am shamed. Though I am shamed as well. Why must my grammar nazism be constantly thwarted? :(

I'm grammar-lexic, and punctuation remissed, but I think I fixed it.

:p:

:laughing:

Shouldn't that have just been a semi-colon? ;)

Don't think so. A colon usually leads onto the next part of the sentence and refers back to it, as in "Things to do in Brussels: visit landmarks". It's (to my recollection anyway) when you have a direct followon from the first part of the sentence to the other, when it's like saying this leads to that. A semicolon is more a break in the sentence that is temporary, so not a full stop, which would completely end a sentence, as in this: "He was very tired; he hadn't had much sleep." That's how I understand it anyway. The full colon points like a marker to the second part of the sentence, whereas a semicolon just pauses it.

The way I read it is a colon says "Hey! Look at this next bit!" whereas the semi-colon says "don't leave yet, there's more."

I know, you'll probably quote a wiki article, and maybe I'm wrong, but this is how I remember it.

All this anal-retentive talk about colons & semicolons.

It all sounds Greek to me.

:D

Dude, I love talking about colons. Makes me horny.

Am I missing something here?

There is certainly a hole in your understanding.

:laughing:

You're sick.

We all know.

That's what my psychiatrist tells me.
