I gave it a listen, and it is good. You not only cracked open my closed mind, but I delayed my morning workout to check out the lyrics. Interesting comments on the "song meaning," which can mean different things to different people.Saw them live at PNC few years ago and will see them with my daughter in February. Again they are not for everyone. Listen to the song, “The light”. Spoke the words to my mom, as I held her hand as she lay dying in the hospital. She could not speak but tried to lift my hand to her mouth to kiss it. Off Evolution, Hold onto Memories, answers so many questions I have had about death. Few bands to me can elicit so much emotion.
He killed it on SNLOh man, Joe Cocker covering anything by the Beatles was great.
Never would have guessed you were a Dickies fans. They make great jeans too. Way better quality than Levis, and cheaper too.
It's not Neil (maybe my favorite song of his - especially the live version on Live Rust), but it's very nicely done - will definitely download.
I saw ELO this past fall. They close with it. It’s greatI will go with ELO and "roll over beethoven"....
anyone can just sing a song done by others and put a little of their own flair into it, but ELO
was genius incorporating actual beethoven into it
and it came out pretty well, particularly the 8 minute extended version
Johnny cash cover of Hurt by NIN. the second video is trent reznor talking about how it wasn't his song anymore, it was Cash's. I loved the original but I agree with him.
Saw Rancid in 95, I believe, at the old Fastlane in AP - fantastic show, featuring the most violent mosh pit I've probably ever seen (I stayed on the edge, throwing people back in, lol - too crazy for me when I was in my early 30s). Speaking of WEH, likely going to see the Chills there this spring...
Wow. Never heard of the Bronx, and I don't know why. Just listened to a few songs, and that is right in my wheelhouse--loud and aggressive.
I don't ever hear them on Faction Punk, and it seems they would fit in there.
I always enjoyed Punk bands as they are always making great covers (And failing on many as well)
Taking an original I already like and giving me another version I really enjoy is not easy.
Agree 110% on these being great covers and loving punk covers. A couple of my favorites are "I Fought the Law" by the Clash, "Do You Wanna Dance" by the Ramones,(always thought the Beach Boys had the original, but just noticed it was a hit for Bobby Freeman in 1958) and "Take Me to the River" by the Talking Heads (same year as Devo's cover), and the Banana Splits theme song by the Dickies.And this Punk classic by Devo. I think this is the first cover by a Punk band that went mainstream.
Fishbone!! Saw them open up for the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1986, iirc. Talk about an insane show.Fishbone at The Tradewinds, roughest pit I ever saw, I was scared......I'm going to WEH in May to see the Hold Steady again
The more the merrier, lol. It was great for him, but it was also awesome for us and me, since my wife probably went to about half of the shows, as he and I (sometimes wtih 2-3 of his teenage friends) went to quite a few on our own, too. He probably got to see about 100 bands with me/us (including several festivals with many bands, so it wasn't 100 shows) from the time he was 12-13 until he was 16-17 and started going mostly on his own. But he still comes with us sometimes - just saw the Feelies doing the Velvet Underground tribute with him and friends a few weeks ago at White Eagle Hall - a top 10-20 all-time show for me and a few other attendees.Can I join them? lol just kidding. That's awesome he goes to shows with you guys!
That's awesome! My 14yr old isn't into the same music I like. Although she is opening her mind more to it as she gets older.The more the merrier, lol.

Best show ever, though, was probably getting to see Cloud Nothings, Dom and Wavves at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn in 2010. It was the Cloud Nothings first tour and they opened and blew us away and have gotten much bigger since. Dom was great also, but not sure if they're still together. And Wavves were the headliner and were awesome - was my son's first mosh pit and he loved it - proud moment being in the same moshpit with my then 15 year old son.
Best part might've been that we had no tix and tried scalping, but nobody parted with any, so I then gave the doorguy $50 to let us in ($10 tix, but these bands were white hot for the hipster crowd back then). Then about 20 minutes later, he spotted us inside and asked if we wanted to go backstage to meet Wavves - was very cool for my son, as they all signed his iPod and thought it was very cool that a kid knew all their songs.
How is the Hold Steady. We went to see Craig Finn at the Wonder Bar a couple of years ago, and we almost fell asleep.Fishbone at The Tradewinds, roughest pit I ever saw, I was scared......I'm going to WEH in May to see the Hold Steady again
My oldest son is not really into music, and my youngest is not into rock music. I dragged my oldest to Springsteen and Twisted Sister (separate shows), and he was not moved.That's awesome! My 14yr old isn't into the same music I like. Although she is opening her mind more to it as she gets older.
I can't imagine mine at a Pearl Jam or NIN show lol. Although her taste is improving. I'm sad I never got to see Alice in Chains...I'm a big fan of Layne.. RIP.My oldest son is not really into music, and my youngest is not into rock music. I dragged my oldest to Springsteen and Twisted Sister (separate shows), and he was not moved.
I took my youngest to The Scorpions, Alice in Chains, Kiss/Motley Crue and Van Halen shows. He thought they were OK, but still not really into rock music. In 20-30 years, rock may truly be a dead music genre.
