Ultimatum's next cover song?

Quote :

I almost got to sing "Son of God" with Neon Cross at Up From the Ashes II, but Neon Cross and the promoter crossed wires and they ended up not playing. Bummer! It would have been cool.

I was there... Dave was late and Robert from your band got to do some of his older songs. kewl stuff

Been listening to some older stuff this morning....Man I really dig ol' vinyl and a day off from work.

Exodus-And Then There Were None
Helstar-Run With The Pack
and Metal Militia by Metallica would seem kinda / sorta a fun song to jam on ?

some more...

''Baptized In Blood" or "Vehgeance Is Mine" by Final Axe

a Ultimatum-ized "Immagrant Song" would be quite interesting as well

was watchin a movie with the ol lady and heard on a song on the soundtrack that would be nice to hear you guys do..."Stranglehold" by Nugent

why don't you narrow it down to a list of say 10 selections & then let us vote & decide. that would be brave.

Great idea MC666. Scott, I would love to hear you guys venture off and maybe do a doom song, from someone like Place of Skulls just to throw us a curveball.

Well, we talked about it at practice last night. We are for sure going to start playing "Creeping Death" live. It's a fun song and one that we all like, so that was an easy pick. I don't think it will be recorded, but just something to play live. We do a lot of local shows to the same people, so throwing in a cover here and there will be fun.

We are going to re-record one of our own songs from 1996 for an up-coming compilation CD.

We are debating recording an additional cover. I think narrowing it down to 10 songs is a good idea. I'll bring it up at the next practice.

ult

sound's cool.

I'd love to hear you guys do "The Last In Line" by Dio

Yup, I think a full covers album would rule. 'Creeping Death' is a must! Haven't seen you guys play it yet, though...but on the other hand, I haven't been at practice, either!

Some others I might suggest would be:

'Ton of Bricks' by Metal Church....although it might be due for slight lyrical change...? Maybe not; it depends on the interpretation, I guess. That's a monster of a song, though!

Something from an early Exodus album....but it's tough to find any that are agreeable lyrically and still cool enough to cover! Possibly 'Toxic Waltz' or 'Parasite'?

'Angel of Death' from Slayer.....naaah, just kidding.

Morty's 'Gut Wrench' really would be awesome, I think.

Gotta run for now...

So do I!

I agree with the idea of a list of 10 songs. I still think Watch the Children Pray would be perfect.

You know what would be cool to record maybe not for an album but for fun (or a b-side) would be to metallisize a real old-school rock tune like travellin' band from CCR. No Sugar Tonight from the Guess Who would sound really cool done Priest style.

Or, for fellow KISS fanatic Scott: cover Deuce with double-bass during the guitar segments. Oh baby, that would be sweet.

Green Eyed Lady would sound pretty bad ass done the way you're talking about Firehouse.

Disturbing the Priest by Black Sabbath.

I'd love to hear Ultimatum do covers of:

Reverend - Warp The Mind
Laaz Rockit - Most Dangerous Game
Metal Church - Ton Of Bricks
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Overkill - Wrecking Crew
Vio-lence - Liquid Courage

LAND OF CONFUSION !!!!!

We got together last week and worked on a cover of Creeping Death. It sounded good, so I think that might happen.

ult, you should call Ron Reinhardt and have him sing Creeping Death with you since that was really the last thing we have heard from him. You could record it for the CMR III CD. Or we could get a comp together over here.

That would be cool. However, we aren't planning on recording Creeping Death. We're just gonna play it live I think. However, since we are suppose to record a live show this summer or fall, we may record it live.

As for the CMRIII comp, we are suppose to re-record "Mortal Stomp". I'm looking forward to that.

That would be a fun song to cover.

I knew someone here would appreciate that one. I've always thought Scott could slay anything done by Zetro or David Wayne. Those two singers come to mind when I listen to Ultimatum (not saying you're a clone Scott, just that you have that same kind of "nasty" (as I like to call it...kind of a mix of aggression, power, and passion so to speak) that they have). That's why I suggested my favorite Reverend and Metal Church tunes. It's harder to pick an Exodus tune Ultimatum could cover considering lyrical content.

I think it would be cool if you guys could release a cover album. Maybe something like ...Til The End (limited run, maybe 6 tunes or so). Heck, maybe if you guys get some time, and some of the other boards would be willing to do it, we could do a fan contribution to cover CD pressing costs, artwork, etc. Even have a fan contest to name the album or something. Just a thought...

The Mob Rules - Black Sabbath
Disturbing The Priest - Black Sabbath
Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath
TV Crimes - Black Sabbath
Holy Diver - Dio
The Last In Line - Dio

I couldn't see Ultimatum doing any Black Sabbath/Dio. Too slow.

Bad Medicine - Bon Jovi
