You don’t necessarily like the same spice as I do. Music, like everything else, is basically a spice. But you made me hear something in “Road To Nowhere” that I never noticed before. But if you put him in a different band, you’ll get a different M. He’s very talented, as well as a very nice guy. That’s where you have to give people the ability to be artists. Shadows-I’m not knocking him-but I was pleasantly surprised that The Guy From Avenged Sevenfold could pull off Radiohead that well.
I thought, “How would John Bonham have played that song?” All respect to M. With the Radiohead one, I love that song and the video in particular. How do you decide on an approach for a song? Some of your covers are similar, but others are totally different. Part of the goal is for people to listen to it and not know it’s a cover. Part of the goal is for people to enjoy it. I think if you make a cover that sounds exactly like the original, what’s the point of doing it? You’ve got to make it your own song. My rule is probably different than other people’s.

For this project, in the limited time we had to do it four or five years, we were able to come up with 14 to 17 songs that I thought were good enough.Īnd each of those songs I had earmarked for different singers. Even for Toxicity, we recorded like 44 songs and whittled it down to the 15 that made the album. Did you actually record 30 or 40 tracks for the album? So having a covers album makes sense in that I don’t necessarily have to create something brand new. Primarily, I generally don’t write songs. What are some of your favorite covers by other artists? I would just sit there with tapes and put together albums that set different moods.
I used to do a lot of that when I was a kid. I was personally interested in your album, because I make compilations of cover songs, and I’m still into making old-school mixtapes.
