Peel Slowly And See Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Influence is in absolutely every song on this album. That's the central theme. I know it'd never happen, but I had an idea about how cool it would be if different artists performed each song.1. Song Of The Century - 2. 21st Century Breakdown - The Who3. Know Your Enemy - Carbon/Silicon4. ¡Viva La Gloria! - 5. Before The Lobotomy - 6. Christian's Inferno - Beck7. Last Night On Earth - Elton John8. East Jesus Nowhere - Rancid9. Peacemaker - Gogol Bordello10. Last Of The American Girls - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers11. Murder City - PJ Harvey12. ¿Viva La Gloria? (Little Girl) - Mekons13. Restless Heart Syndrome - Arcade Fire14. Horseshoes And Hand Grenades - The Hives15. The Static Age - Bruce Springsteen16. 21 Guns - 17. American Eulogy - The Hold Steady18. See The Light - AC/DCSo you can say where you think I'm wrong, what you would put in, and stuff like that. Help me fill in those four I have blank, too.Also, here's a rule: The artist has to be musically active. They cannot be dead and the band cannot be defunct.
mallorymaloney Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 4. ¡Viva La Gloria! - Avril Lavigne.I know, I know, most people on here want her to spontaneously combust, etcetera etcetera, but I personally like a lot of her music.And think about it --- A studio version of her singing Viva La Gloria! would sound pretty goddamn awesome, especially since the midway point of 'She smashed her knuckles into winter' has a very similar guitar riff to Avril's song Girlfriend. She'd nail the highest notes, too.
Peel Slowly And See Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 ahhhhhhh nonononoIf I wanted that I'd get Kathleen Hanna.
Angela. Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 ahhhhhhh nonononoIf I wanted that I'd get Kathleen Hanna.This.
sroy Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 ahhhhhhh nonononoIf I wanted that I'd get Kathleen Hanna.word.Last Of the Amerrican Girls - The muffs.
Peel Slowly And See Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 At first it just seemed like American Girls was just a phrase and it had no relevance to the song American Girl. Then you realize that the choruses sound similar.
Dylan. Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I want this....21st Century Breakdown--Bruce SpringsteenKnow Your Enemy--RancidViva La Gloria!--ParamoreBefore the Lobotomy--Queen (after they get Adam Lambert to sing for them)Christian's Inferno--(Let those God Awful "Girls With Guns" take them. They suck)Last Night On Earth--Paul McCartneyEast Jesus Nowhere--The OffspringPeacemaker--NOFXLast of the American Girls--WeezerMurder City--WeezerLittle Girl--My Chemical RomanceRestless Heart Syndrome--All American RejectsHorseshoes and Handgrenades--MetallicaThe Static Age--David Cook21 Guns--Andres Martinez (LOL)American Eulogy--Avenged SevenfoldSee The Light--Foo Fighters
Peel Slowly And See Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 A lot of those are bad choices IN MY OPINION, but I considered Springsteen for the titular track (The Who just works better), McCartney for Last Night On Earth, and The Offspring for East Jesus Nowhere. Rancid taking on Enemy and Weezer taking on Last Of The American Girls are good ideas.Beck is perfect for Christian's Inferno, by the way.
Welshy Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 There's a song thats meant to sound like EJN by Marilyn Manson but I forgot the name of it.And the chorus from 21 Guns sounds like the Full House theme apparently.
Juan Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 if the Who should do a song here, it should be Before The Lobotomy, good call with Gogol Bordello
hardtoconcentrate Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 At first it just seemed like American Girls was just a phrase and it had no relevance to the song American Girl. Then you realize that the choruses sound similar.American Girl happens to be my favourite Petty song Weezer covering Static Age would be pretty awesome.
Peel Slowly And See Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 You're kind of missing the point.
Nele Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 14. Horseshoes And Hand Grenades - The Hiveswell they made main offender, which sounds pretty similar to H&H, but i don't think Pelle has the voice to scream around like Billie did. he's more the high/shrill screaming type.
Juan Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 you don't really get the "tribute" album thing, don't you?
Lauren Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I say Paul McCartney could do Last Night On Earth... I mean Billie stole the lyric from him. but I could also see Paul doing Before The Lobotomy!
Roxy. Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I want this....21st Century Breakdown--Bruce SpringsteenKnow Your Enemy--RancidViva La Gloria!--ParamoreBefore the Lobotomy--Queen (after they get Adam Lambert to sing for them)Christian's Inferno--(Let those God Awful "Girls With Guns" take them.

I don't agree on some but the idea of Paramore playing Viva la Gloria! makes me smile.
Peel Slowly And See Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 Do you people understand the concept of a tribute album at all?
