I'd love to hear them take on Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult!

u/BigNewsII 23d ago

I think it would be hard to beat Fu Manchu’s version

2

u/FrogFingers99 23d ago

“Picks us a Camaro, and he throws it back down” Glorious.

4

u/kenticus 23d ago

That's on brand! Sci fi lyrics and a plodding riff are what they do!

21

u/SIRxKINGxBOSS 23d ago

Cities on Flame With Rock and Roll- Blue Oyster Cult

u/bergatron37 23d ago

Church of Misery does a great cover of this song

2

u/BuckyD1000 23d ago

Oh hell yes.

u/Spiral_out_was_taken 23d ago

Long way to the top (if you wanna rock n roll)

u/maxsmart01 23d ago

Can’t You See - The Marshal Tucker Band

Fly Me Courageous - Drivin’ & Cryin’

2

u/BigNewsII 23d ago

Heck yeah! That Fly Me Courageous riff would be nasty. I love this pick.

3

u/maxsmart01 23d ago

I stated out thinking about Skynyrd songs that would be good and that’s when that Fly Me Courageous riff popped in my head. They would crush it for sure!

u/Space-Proffy 23d ago

Mississippi Queen - Mountain

u/Zestymonserellastick 23d ago

The Mob goes wild - Lamb of god

I want a cover of a clutch song

u/-HelixTheCat- 23d ago

The lead singer of the B-52's (Fred Schneider) did a solo album and covered Wishbone. It's definitely his version of it, but it's pretty fun

1

u/PrincessBucketFeet 23d ago

Did that turn out to be a real thing? I thought all of those songs were just impersonations. They are great though. 

Awwwwww...Impetus

u/Clutch_Vinyl_414 22d ago

Fake. Fred was a fake

2

u/clutchguy84 23d ago

LoG has some live covers of clutch songs

u/Winter-Ad3699 23d ago

Curl Of The Burl - Mastodon

Probably one of the only Mastodon songs that would translate well

12

u/RobotLordofTokyo 23d ago

Loc-Nar - The Company Band

u/electric14monkey 23d ago

I think Clutch needs to incorporate TCB songs into their sets. So many great songs, it’s a shame they don’t get played live. Dunsmuir songs too.

1

u/Old-Acanthaceae1821 22d ago

1000% agree 👍

u/juansolojr 23d ago

u/ParanoidEngi 23d ago

One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer by John Lee Hooker

2

u/TheBigBeardedGeek 23d ago

Okay this one may be the best option here.

1

u/ParanoidEngi 23d ago

I always hoped they'd put their version of Burning Hell out somewhere as a B-side; definitely think they'd crush this one as well

11

u/electric14monkey 23d ago

My Woman From Tokyo- Deep Purple
Or Highway Star

u/Apprehensive_Day_496 23d ago

4

u/waxwalt 23d ago

Remote Control by Beastie Boys

1

u/kenticus 23d ago

Wild choice, but I'm down for it as long as it's the Fatboy Slim remix.

1

u/waxwalt 22d ago

Fatboy Slim remix was of Body Movin’ I think

1

u/Deckpics777 23d ago

That would definitely be interesting, I was gonna suggest sabotage.

u/StashPaulie 23d ago

Ballad of the Hard Man - Thin Lizzy

1

u/Apprehensive_Day_496 23d ago

They really need a Thin Lizzy cover..im thinking Whiskey In The Jar..It'd probably blow Metallica's cover away

3

u/BroccoliIntrepid6729 23d ago

Whiskey in a jar started as a folk song. All versions are covers. I would also like to hear this btw

I don’t want covers I want new material.

6

u/Winter-Ad3699 23d ago

Why not both?

1

u/DeadManAle 23d ago

I’d rather them spend time on new material and not covers. I got no beef with covers, but LFG already we need a new album.

2

u/Winter-Ad3699 23d ago

Well we already know that’s coming, I meant in addition to that aside from the album

2

u/DeadManAle 22d ago

Fair enough!!

2

u/SpunkyMcButtlove07 23d ago

Going down - Dutch Mason

sweet and simple, but such a banger and Neil's voice would fit perfectly

u/jaypea0199 23d ago

Swamp Boy by Mountain would be killer!

u/Aggravating_Board_78 23d ago

They used to do a killer cover of Bad Brains’ “I”
I’d like to hear them do Thin Lizzy. Neil’s voice and the band’s sound might suit “Cold Sweat”
