If mcr pulled a midtown and released an album of covers what would you most want to be on there?
amazing question. how about 11 songs. this came together so quickly.
1. Me and Magdalena (Version 2) by the Monkees: Imagine the ray and gerard harmonies on it.
2. Forget Her by Jeff Buckley: The guitars are so beautiful on that track ray would know exactly what to do with it. and i can see gerard singing the vocals so well
3. Ticket to Ride by the Beatles: just imagine gerard singing “i think i’m gonna be sad. i think it’s today” it would WORK
4. 3 by Britney Spears: come on. PICTURE IT. picture what it would do to us
5. Complete Control by the Clash: it’s so angry but not too angry and mcr do something so interesting in their covers that i feel like this one would get a revamp that would make me like the song more than the original!! Also the “i hate my label” anthem for them…
6. Atomic by Blondie: another instrumental i love and yet another case of “gerard would devour these vocals”
7. The Door into Summer by the Monkees: for some reason i really associate the monkees with mcr (outside of gerard’s daydream believer obsession). again. imagine the rayrard harmonies
8. reject all american by bikini kill: riot grrl. punky. upbeat. its a shoe-in for an mcr cover!
9. rain by the cult: another great band piece that i think they’d give a really good spin on.
10. Modern Girl by Sleater Kinney: has that fuzz that builds up that i think gerard would LOVE to recreate or put their own spin on. also. the sleater kinney of it all
11. Absolute Beginners by David Bowie: rayrard harmonies. and another chorus Gerard would kill.
