Songs you want Dax to cover

The first time I met him I drove to NY from Maine and I got him to sing Im sorry Miss Jackson by Outcast, he was hammered it was like an hour before the show and we were bombing the cold NY streets

  i bet he killed it too

 That's great.

It was funny for sure someone on SC said it would crack me up so I got him singing it in the street, in the video Rothko vid in NY u hear me say it before the set, that show has one if my fav vids of walking stick, he's mad into it that night

Hyacinth House - Doors
Ann - The Stooges
When I Die - GG Allin
Moonage Daydream - David Bowie
Here We Go Again - John Lennon
Many Beatles Songs
Rotten Apple - Alice In Chains

I think it would be sweet if Dax would cover a Roky Erickson tune.

Me too.   That and/or a 13th Floor Elevators cover.

I think Dax would fucking kill it on this song if he covered it.

Yup. Right in line with what he does best, imo. Especially if he slows it down like Skulls.

Dax should cover more lucinda williams too, i think he would sound awesome if he covered this song.

If Dax covered this i bet it would be unbelievably awesome.

I like his cover of "And It Stoned Me."

Hello to all, this is my first post!
I just happened across this site while scouring youtube for new Dax recordings from this tour. I must say, I feel right at home after reading these suggestions. I've already come up with several songs I've long wished he would cover, and admittedly, there are several artists here that may have more suitable songs, but I am simply unaware of them.
Anyways, here are some of my suggestions, some already having been said.

Long Gone- Syd Barrett
Spanish Caravan- The Doors
Hyacinth House- The Doors
Queen of the Highway- The Doors
Goodnite Irene - Leadbelly
That'll Be the Day- Buddy Holly
Five Years- David Bowie
Asshole- Beck
These Boots Are Made For Walkin'- Nancy Sinatra
In Dreams- Roy Orbison
Only The Lonely- Roy Orbison
Crazy- Patsy Cline
All I Have To Do Is Dream- The Everly Brothers
Strange Fruit-Billie Holiday
South of Heaven-Slayer
John Wayne Gacy Jr.- Sufjan Stevens
Jealous Guy- John Lennon
Suicide Is Painless- Johnny Mandel (M*A*S*H Theme Song)
Earth Angel- Penguins
Sick City- Charles Manson
Needle In The Hay- Elliott Smith
Between The Bars- Elliott Smith
Miss Misery- Elliott Smith
Time- The Alan Parsons Project
In My Life-The Beatles
Something-The Beatles
Little Birds-Neutral Milk Hotel
The Future Is Not What It Used To Be- Mickey Newbury
The Thirty Third of August- Mickey Newbury
Time In A Bottle-Jim Croce
Avalanche-Leonard Cohen
Mad World- Gary Jules version
Sleepwalkin-Modest Mouse/Santo&Johnny
The Good Times Are Killing Me- Modest Mouse
Reptile- NIN
Dust In The Wind- Kansas
I Feel For You-Jerry Reed
Sickman- Alice In Chains
Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground - Blind Willie Johnson
Hand of Doom- Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath- Black Sabbath
Insanity- Oingo Boingo
Something In The Way- Kurt Donald Cobain

After looking back over this list I kinda realized that there are only a few of these songs I could imagine Dax ACTUALLY covering. Dax has found some of the darkest/most beautiful songs that fit his persona as a musician perfectly, and this list reads more like a list of some of my favorite songs than songs that he would actually whip out. If I had to pick just one, I would go for Long Gone though.
Hope you guys like my suggestions!
Sincerely, NodNaRb

He's actually done two of these already!
Goodnight Irene
In Dreams

Also, I'd love to hear Dax cover some Nick Drake

He did "Been Smoking Too Long".
