[If you were performing on stage...]

Well, if I was the one on stage and I was going to do a cover song there are a lot of things I would have to take into account before I chose. I am still young (seventeen) so I would figure my fans would be about the same age. Also, if they liked my music, they would probably like the music of my influences.

So I would probably play something that I really liked listening too. Something like.

"Date Rape" by Sublime (Anything by Sublime really.)

"Certain Shade of Green" by Incubus

"Come Original" by 311

"Longview" by Green Day

"Dust in the Wind" by Kansas

"The Unforgiven" (or) "The Unforgiven II" by Metallica

"Scar Tissue" by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Any probably a lot more. lol

["The Perfect Drug" - original version?]

Well, if Reznor wrote the lyrics then Nine Inch Nails must be the original artists of the song. Thank you. ::

Hm, well you have sparked my interest. I am going to have to look into this song as soon as I can.

Indeed, I have found the lyrics to this song, so it does now exist in my musical knowledge.

I cannot recall at any time Tupac ever doing a duet with Elton John, the rapper Eminem on the other hand did do a duet with Elton John.

[10 Songs that bring tears to your eyes]

Just off of the top of my head I would say...

• Hurt by Nine Inch Nails
  
• Dust in the Wind by Kansas
  
• Cemetery Gates by Pantera
  
• Fade to Black by Metallica
  
• Drive by Incubus
  
• Amber by 311
  
• The Leaving Song by AFI
  
• Around Here by Counting Crows
  
• Behind Blue Eyes by The Who
  
• My Friends by Red Hot Chili Peppers
  
• Everybody Hurts by REM
  

Most of these have some personal reason, that's why they maybe a little odd. lol And not everytime I hear these songs do I cry, they can just bring back thoughts, etc, etc.

["The Perfect Drug" - original version?]

I know there are two bands that have done the song "The Perfect Drug". One of which is Nine Inch Nails (personal favorite) and the other is Joy Division. So who did the original and who did the cover? Or is it a totally different situation all together? :happybanana:
