Ahhh, so is there any specific bands actually picking out songs to cover? When I start my band, we're gonna make a punk cover of 4AM for sure.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I know, you just add fast guitars to that song and it works perfectly.

I'm a little freaked about songs being butchered... If you do them, do them respectfully.

Imma translate Axtech's psycho speak.

I think he just wants you to do the songs justice.

That wasn't really directed to you. I'm sure you could do a good job of it. It's just that the idea of some punking of OLP kind of scares me, because of the butcherability of punking up songs.

No offence meant towards you, man. :mrgreen:
