Monster Zero Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Yeah man, that stuff is the shit! i love hearing silly covers, as long as they've been changed, there is nothing more dull than a rock/metal band playing a pop song just like it was before, you need to make it heavier! or, vice versa.I fear you have missed his withering sarcasm.

Alan Cynic Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'm immune to the sarcasm, as I enjoy imagining bands covering bizarrely different songs...however boring this might appear Surprisingly, I often don't enjoy hearing the results.....I wasn't a big fan of Nouvelle Vague....and the idea of Hayseed Dixie/Rodrigo & Gabriella etc brings a fair dose of vomit to my ringer.

Woodsinho Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'd like to see all the actors who have ever portrayed John Conner from the Terminator series come together and do a cover of Take The Power Back under the name Rage Against The Machines.

Alan Cynic Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I enjoy a Japanese singer called Ai Aso...she did a cover of the VU's 'I'm sticking with you' that was so weird it took me a few listens to realise which song it was.Here's her...YouTube - Ai Aso - Komish...So I'd enjoy her doing other unusual versions.

Alan Cynic Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I dunno about that...she was in a band called 'White Heaven'.Sounds female to me, but I've not been close enough to make a judgement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofacore Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Wouldn't it be amazing if The View did an impersonation of the Libertines?Oh, wait, thats every song by them. Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I generally only enjoy covers if they are different to the original, if your not going to change the song or make it your own then your probably just being a talentless copy-cat. Unless you can do it better of course.Says the man that stated "Schmuk... were a great loss to the musical community"!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berni907 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Has anyone heard Frank Turners cover of "District sleeps alone tonight" by The Postal Service?

Alan Cynic Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Was listening to pretty good covers of Blondie's 'Sunday girl'' and Syd Barrett's 'No man's land' by an 80s band called Family Fodder yesterday. They bent fuck out of them ina good way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
