That sounds badass.

I think I'm going to do QOTSA's Six Shooter.

Are we just all doing our own ****? Like a cover album but not a tribute album specific to one artist/album? I think the latter is cooler.

That song or the Clownin' one? Cause an anti-Eminem song would be way funnier than a faceless song that's ****ty even by ICP's standards.

I guess so. I thought the tribute was cooler, but no one could agree. I'm still down for the idea.

This thread's been active for just over 24 hours, we can take a little more time deciding.

Good point. How about Frank Zappa?

I'm down, but it won't be the easiest to cover and the Zappa Family Trust is notoriously lawsuit-y about cover bands and songs. It does give us a lot of options and a way to piss off the man, which is good.

I've looked into copyright law about this a few years ago. If I remember correctly it says we can do covers of it all we want, but we can't make money off it. We have to have permission from the copyright holder to make money off it.

I wonder if that counts the name your price option on bandcamp, does that count as a donation?

I think that would be a grey area.

Gail Zappa died recently and the kids took over, I have no idea how anal they're going to be about it.

Dibs on Man With the Woman Head.

Clownin

Can any of us play well enough to cover Zappa though?

I don't know Zappa's personal beliefs too well, but he seems like he'd be anti-copyright laws.

Oh, and I'll do Why does it hurt when I pee.

lol you don't know Gail Zappa's beliefs. She was a real bitch about that kind of thing.

Ja.

Correction: can the majority of us do so?

Who cares? I mean us covering it won't kill the original version. As long as we approach the song the way we want to we'll all do a great job.

He's got a point. We should consider some other artists.

Queens of the stone age?

Nah.

Miley Cyrus?

The Fall?

Someone cover this...

Oh, **** yeah I'd be down for that.

Dude, what if we all covered the same song.

Suggestion: I Think I Lost My Headache

Let's do smoke on the water.

By Iron Maiden?

I imagine covering songs holds more weight than sampling and they can go after you for sampling with out the rights even if it's free.

But, will they find out? Probably not. Not unless one of you blow up.

^we better vet for terrorists then.

I think The Velvet Underground/Lou Reed would be cool.

I agree. I think Elliot smith would be a good one too.

Alright so, current candidates

+QOTSA
+ICP
+Velvet Underground/lou Reed
+Elliot Smith

+Frank Zappa
-ICP

By all means, be boring, music nerd stereotypes.

GTFO unless you're dropping a track.

batty and i are collaborating on an improv freestyle ICP cover

Suck dick, homie.
