Oh yeah! - I forgot about "Gone Daddy Gone" I've actually found the album right this minute after searching for it for days! Its just called "Violent Femmes" so I'm assuming its their debut album? The track listing is as follows - Blister In the Sun Kiss Off Please Do Not Go Add It Up Confessions Prove My Love Promise To the Kill Gone Daddy Gone Good Feeling I'm listening to it right now - I can't believe that I left on the shelf for so long  You know, I really didnt think we would have similar tastes at all! Just goes to show ya, life is strange

He he. Uh. I listened to it because of my free-time "profession". Linda Perry helped her out with songwriting stuff this time around, as she did with P!nk, Gwen Stefani and some others. No punky tunes. Just some disco new wave boredom. And now for something completely different:Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss machine. Holy shit...

I've just been looking through previous posts and saw your comment about The Smashing Pumpkins - you said you were wanting something a bit lighter, but I don't see how "Siames Dream" can be seen as light With songs like Mayonaise, Geek USA, Disarm and Spaceboy I really don't see this as a light album Obviously compared to The Downward Spiral it is

Sure. I have every Pumpkins album except Gish. About the cover: Lots of screaming during the refrain. It's Poison The Well after all.
 But not representative of their sound... it's not too different from the original except for the screaming. Their latest record "You come before you" might appeal to Deftones people, though PTW are more of a hardcore band.

I've just listened to it, and as a major "Pumpkins" fan I have to say that I am not impressed! Their interpretation of the song was....well....ok.....  but I just couldn't find any emotion in the song - the original had the emotional impact of Billy Corgan's voice, but this cover was way lacking in my opinion If this had been a cover of a well known pop song like "Faith" or "Wuthering Heights" then I think it would have been appreciated a lot more! Strangely, I have never heard of this band, and I think their decision to cover a popular rock song was a pretty bad idea If they had wanted to cover something, then I feel they should have gone for a pop song which they could have moulded to their own particular style

He, he. Yes, there are better cover songs. I still like it, though. There's nothing different from the original but the screaming and some staccato riffing here and there.
Johnny Cash - Hurt (NIN) Now that's a really great cover song! Coupled with the video clip it's a guaranteed winner.

I have to agree with you 100%!! The Johnny Cash cover of Hurt has to be the very best cover I have ever heard! When you add that to the video where he is walking round his house and you see picture of his wife who had died previously, you can't help but experience the emotional turmoil He must have been eperiencing I thought the NIN version was sad but Johhny Cash totally outstaged Trent Reznor on this one!!!!! Its just a shame he isn't here to make more great music!!

Who but Johnny Cash could do justice to a Nine Inch Nails song? If I recall correctly, Trent Reznor was very flattered by Johnny's desire to cover the song, and help out on the production.
Has anyone besides me heard Blondie's cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring Of Fire"? Another awesome cover by a band mostly known for doing their own stuff. A truly strange cover, but a personal favorite of mine, was Shirley Manson's old band's (Fishbone, maybe?) cover of "Money"...not the Pink Floyd song, the other song of the same name that was also covered by the Beatles.

No way!?! That's a great song and I never knew it had been covered by Blondie? I've just done a search for it but have come up with no results for "Blondie" and "Ring of Fire" - are you sure they covered it under the name Blondie? .......or maybe it wasn't actually Blondie in the first place?? |

The movie "Roadie" is pretty good in and of itself, and was recently released on DVD. It would be worth renting just to watch that performance alone. It also features Roy Orbison, Alice Cooper, Hank Williams Jr., and Little Texas. ScottMate

Aha! I just found it using "Blondie" and "Live", so am downloading it now! The movie "Roadie" doesn't ring any bells though
