Skull Commander Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 BUT BUT BUTMike Patton covered it also.And Mike Patton's version is IDENTICALAm i going mad or has nobody else noticed this.It's nae identical. 'Mike Patton's version was actually Faith No More Vs Sparks, and it had a far harder sound to it. It is also played a good bit faster than Justins version. In the S.V.F.N.M. version the vocals are shared between the bloke from sparks and Patton so there is a high pitched/ growling dynamic as opposed to Hawkins falsetto all the way through sound. Obviously its the same tune but I think they sound pretty different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marn Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 The Faith No More vs Sparks version is far superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hawkins version is an embarrasment. It's truly terrible. And no amount of darts - orientated videoage will cover that up.The Sparks vs Faith No More version on the other hand is a truly amazing cover version. In fact, it's one of my favourites. The riffage is amazing and the tag - team vocals are brilliant. I think they are two very different takes on a superb song. One just happens to be shite, the other ace.

Guest bluesxman Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Justin Hawkins was/is in The Darkness. Why is anyone surprised this is pish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 McFly's version of The Who's Pinball Wizard is pretty close to being as shit as this.I saw that on telly yesterday. Apparently they have cancelled a gig in Aberdeen to record with The Who (or what's left of them). My respect for The Who is diminishing further.

My respect for The Who is diminishing further.So that's why they cancelled their performance at Free at the Dee? Ruined my whole Summer, that did.

Marsh Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 McFly's version of The Who's Pinball Wizard is pretty close to being as shit as this.It's not nearly as bad, though. While I do not advocate McFly in any way, shape or form I saw the video last night for Pinball Wizard and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm not saying I like it. It's just not as bad as I thought it would be. There's still no need to cover a stone cold classic like Pinball Wizard though. Or This Town Ain't Big Enough. Unless you are Faith No More, of course.

Guest DustyDeviada Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Surely young boys like McFly should be wary of hanging around with a child porn aficionado like Pete Townshend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
