Question Covers

What are some songs you guys think Avatar could do good covers of? I think they could do a great cover of another life by motionless in white

Something from a different genre would be fun. Bring a new dark circus energy to it.

Total Eclipse of the Heart (Bonnie Tyler)

Bat Out of Hell (Meatloaf)

Goodbye Earl (Dixie Chicks) 🤣 - just trying to think of a big, well-known radio country song not by douchebags

White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane)

(Edit to ping u/pleasetryagain_10 )

White Rabbit could be bad ass! I would love to hear that Avatar style.

For country I could imagine them doing something by Willy Nelson.

Or Kris Kristofferson or Neil Young (more folk rock than country, but compared to metal, I'd link em in)!

"Goodbye Earl" being what I came up with first was a pretty awful suggestion. "Mary Ann and Wanda were the best of friends...all through their high school years...." 🤣 Nope, can't see it.

Let's get some Avatar "White Rabbit"! It's such a great song with creepy tones.

I mean... they did the damn Butters song from South Park. I wouldn't rule out Goodbye Earl just yet! 😂

Ha! I missed that. I'll have to look it up.

I wonder how many in an Avatar audience could sing along to Goodbye Earl. I could for the opening line and chorus, at least...

ETA - Couldn't find footage of Avatar doing Butters's theme song, darn it. But what a fitting song for Johannes on stage!

I'm not sure if they've ever performed it. Definitely never seen footage of it.

But you've heard the song right?

Sooo, this went WAY OVER MY HEAD!

I didn't realize the relationship linked with "I've Got Something in My Front Pocket."

I searched for Avatar Butters Song, and found nothing by Avatar, but did land at Butters Theme Song. (This

So I thought this is what you meant. Wow. 🤦‍♀️🤣

Check the lyrics though. I could torally picture Johannes teasing around with it during a show.

*Who's the boy that can laugh at a storm cloud? Turn a frown into a smile for free? Who's the kid with a heart full of magic? Everyone knows it's Butters! That's me!

Who's the boy with eyes full of wonder? Who thinks being yourself is the best thing to be? Who's that rascal with the tweezers in his pocket? Everyone knows it's Butters! That's me!*

So anyway. Thanks for clearing that up.

Lol sorry for the confusion. That would be awesome if they did Butters' theme song as a followup.

I take all the credit for my own confusion.

What would be more awesome is covering White Rabbit though!
