Members Renfield Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yup, it's that time of the month again. First up from me (there will be others later) is this little ditty from Ryan Adams. This gives me the chills. This man lived this life, this comes from the heart for him.

Members Renfield Posted August 31, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 :love: I can't listen to either version of this song without weeping. The duet is just that much more powerful than Strummer by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Renfield Posted August 31, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 Last year I traveled from Toronto to Cleveland via Detriot. I was in Detroit for a Muse / Social Distortion / Black Rebel Motorcycle Club gig (amazing ) and decided to drive back through NY and hit Cleveland on the way just to see Joe Strummers guitars in person. I went for the Tele, the LP Junior was an added bonus. That's when I saw Paul Simonen's smashed '74 P bass as well and knew that I had to have that image from London Calling tattooed on my body. Thirteen days later I got it on the back of my elbow. And for those that know me to get the inside reference, yes it was intentionally 13 days later.

Hmmm....I've never heard that before, and as a big Op Ivy fan I must say I don't like it one bit. I also feel obligated to post the original for the uninitiated.

Members lokidecat Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 Just wanted to come and say that Cash's "Hurt" was not a good cover. I'm the only human who thinks this, but like to voice my opinion. I liked GnR's Knockin' On Heaven's Door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catphish Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 OT: thank you to Superbass. I just revisited the Op Ivy self titled disk for the first time in 15+ years. Damn.....I've changed so much musically, it's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Muddslide Posted August 31, 2008 Members Share Posted August 31, 2008 To me the first couple that spring to mind are Hendrix' "Watchtower" and DEVO's version of "Satisfaction." (And this is coming from a big Stones fan.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel obligated to post the original for the uninitiated. i used to love that op ivy cd back in my ska/punk days as a kid. its a shame that disk was not mixed better. man, thats gotta be one of the flattest and weakest sounding mixes of a cd of all time.

But that doesn't change the fact that it just seems so morally reprehensible to pick a song like that to do so over the top. "Morally reprehensible"? It's a song cover, not a violent crime... To tie in with your other thread, Buckley's cover of Hallelujah is obviously amazing...I'd have a hard time conceiving of an improvement over his version...
