the living end is one of them bands

[graverobbin'bastard]

this may be a dead end thread but I dont' care. The living end is one of those bands that makes me like songs I hate otherwise. Such as tainted love and sunday bloody sunday. Man I hate U2 and I hate tainted love!. But through the living end not only can I take it I really liike it! If I'm missing any let me know hah. Also who agrees??

[Kevin]

yeah, they add a touch of class to songs i never thought could sound classy

but the original tainted love is so bad it's good!

[graverobbin'bastard]

yeah, they add a touch of class to songs i never thought could sound classy

but the original tainted love is so bad it's good!

I disagree I hates every other version of tainted love I've ever heard ewwww,

[graverobbin'bastard]

oh by the way the living end are umm maybe one of three bands that can make me like song I otherwise hate so that's a talent right there. But I reckon the living end are one of the most talented bands around period

[Steph Format]

yeah, the Living End really did bring a new appreciation to those two songs.
I love the Sunday Bloody Sunday cover.

[*M!]

haha - i loved Sunday Bloody Sunday (the cover) so much that i have it as my mobile phone ring tone!

but it's a monophonic phone and i had to type it in myself...

i suppose it shows the amont of love for their version of the songs...

they have definitely (thanks to Ally for posting the correct spelling of this word in a different thread) exposed me to things i may never have listened to or liked...

yay them - i think that's why i have so much love for the boys and their music

*M!

[mel_bound]

haha - i loved Sunday Bloody Sunday (the cover) so much that i have it as my mobile phone ring tone!

but it's a monophonic phone and i had to type it in myself...

I had some TLE tones i made but I got rid of them all, I can't stand to hear a good song being 'beeped'!

Yeah I don't really like U2 but the cover is awesome. I also prefer TLE's Leilani to the original, it seems to have so much more energy or something.. hmm. And Girls On Film. I love that cover :D

[*M!]

hehe - beeps are cool though mel! :p

but i'm not only talking about covers...

for instance i'm listening to Casey Chambers and TLE - Crossfire
and i love it... yet i can't stand Casey... go figure!

i also love the resurrection shuffle...

they just bring sooo much fantasticness to my life i would never be able to find the right words to let them know it...

*M!

[mel_bound]

haha I feel the same about Crossfire! :D
speaking of fire, I'm cold :p

[NowhereTown]

hate U2 but the cover is great. Tainted love original is ok but TLEs is much better

[Kevin]

speaking of fire, I'm cold :p

Speaking of fire, I'm hot :cool:


*shudders* i can't stand casey chambers' voice

[Erin]

my mum really enjoys tle's version of 'blue moon of kentucky' i do too

[AlinaPOW]

Blue Moon of Kentucky has always been brilliant but TLE-efied, and something magic happens!
Man, i can't STAND U2, sorry to the mass amounts of people that like 'em. But TLE's cover of Sunday Bloody Sunday is easily one of my favourite songs.
Tainted Love... i defintely like the TLE version better but having said that, its a great song by itself, it really is so bad its good!
Casey Chambers voice is horrendous and yet...Crossfire is bearable. Isn't that only Chris though, not all of TLE?
Woot! Resurrection Shuffle is insane! BARNESY!!

[_jimmy_]

how many songs have TLE covered?
1.tainted love
2.sunday bloody sunday
3.blue moon of kentucky
4.girls talk
5.train kept a rollin

[mel_bound]

Casey Chambers voice is horrendous and yet...Crossfire is bearable. Isn't that only Chris though, not all of TLE?

Hahah this is great. It's "Kasey" with a K and no-one cares ahaha.
nah it's TLE with Kasey for Crossfire, you can hear the double bass in some of it. Chris sang a song with Sarah McLeod however, without the rest of TLE. I love The Superjesus and I was really happy with the collaboration. "she's just a private school kid school kid whore" DUH DUH DUH DAAH

[AlinaPOW]

how many songs have TLE covered?

[AlinaPOW]

Yep, thanks Mel. The ones i wrote were off the top of my head so thankyou for finishing up there. And yes, it IS Baby I'ma Want You. Sorry... i'm tired as all heck. Would you call She Keeps No Secrets a cover? Considering they were actually WITH Doc Neeson?

[Steph Format]

I think I'd like Que Será Será more if Chris was singing. I don't know who that one guy is, he's annoying.

Girls Talk was an A+ choice though.

[AlinaPOW]

Hail Costello!

[AlinaPOW]

Speaking of Elvis Costello, i was so pissed of when Rogue Traders decided it would be a good idea to sample Pump it Up for Voodoo Child.

[Amur]

anybody knows how it's weird when you hear some The Living End song,but some time past and somewhere you read that it was a cover.don't like these moments,cos still in ignorance i think about TLE's absolutely genius,and then where's a bit of disappointment.
PS - it doesn't mean what i don't like their own songs,of course i doooo!!
PPs - i'm so slow at recognising covers just because i knew some bands only after TLE's cover of their song.

[mel_bound]

Speaking of Elvis Costello, i was so pissed of when Rogue Traders decided it would be a good idea to sample Pump it Up for Voodoo Child.I was listening to a best of just before.. brilliance! :D No Girls Talk though.. I wanna hear the original.

[BeaglesRule]

Well, I love U2:p , but as a big fan I can say how much I LOVE TLE's version, so they're doing something right:) .

[NowhereTown]

wow, i have only heard about 6 or 7 of those covers

[AlinaPOW]

The thing is though, they make the majority of those covers their own. The Living End touch and there is such a huge difference so cover or no cover, its still genius.

[The Dying Start]

Bad Boy For Love (Chris at the Jack Awards)

If you're gonna include that you'd wanna include Evie Parts 1 and 3, with Chris and Berlin Chair with Andy.

And you can add "She Always Lies" and "Get Off My Cloud" to the Runaway Boys list.

Although they did TONNES of covers, those two were on the demo tapes.

[mel_bound]

Was Berlin Chair with a supergroup thing at the Arias or something?

[graverobbin'bastard]

cripes I forgot I even made this thread. Ermm maybe I drink too much? I stand y my original statement though.

[3000_Miles_Away]

You'll be interested to note the track i belive you all are referring to, the 198o's synth/pop song is actually a cover itself!!!

Tainted Love was orginally a soul record. Recorded by Texan Soul Singer Gloria Gones in 1964.

The 45 became very popular with British soul and disco DJ's in the 70s. It was then in 1981 that english pop group Soft Cell recorded it, and had a subsequent hit.

So there you go, as always, it all started with the blues baby!

P.S. Girls On Film was originally a James Brown record... Nah just kidding!

[The Dying Start]

I think most of us knew that, but it's usually referred to as "the Soft Cell cover", because Soft Cell had a big hit with it.

[mel_bound]

Gloria Gones...

Isn't it Gloria Jones? :p

[The Dying Start]

Who cares, she's long gones now!

[Rock'n'Roll]

In a guitar magazine Chris said they covered Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Manner", "Phantom of the Opera" and "Run to the Hils" in their early days, because they had a double bass that could do the galloping thing and they were facinated by guys that could play fast

[Rosie28]

I disagree I hates every other version of tainted love I've ever heard ewwww,

Argh I hate Marilyn Manson, so, so much!!!
My english teacher always argues with me and says 'he's a legend, he sang tainted love' and i'm like 'yeh but his version is shit!!!!!!!' although I try not to swear...

[Colezy]

I don't mind his version. It's not great, but yeah...not too bad!

[Neo]

NO WAY!! :D which magazine?

[graverobbin'bastard]

don't even get me started on marylin manson I hate that fuckin' guy! I'd say I wished he was dead if I didn't tihnk that would make all the little "goth" kids love him ore. Argh I hate him "oooh look at me I'm marylin manson I'm so freaky everyone look at me!" bah stupid fucking retards phew I feel better now. Plus that bit in quotations is way funnier if you can hear the stupid voice it's meant to be in

[Rock'n'Roll]

NO WAY!! :D which magazine?

Australian Guitar Magazine - Volume 43 to be exact! ;)

[Rosie28]

don't even get me started on marylin manson I hate that fuckin' guy! I'd say I wished he was dead if I didn't tihnk that would make all the little "goth" kids love him ore.

Hahaha so, so true!! Me and my friend looked him up in google images, just for fun and there was a picture of him naked with a deer on his lap... right. Personally I think he trys to act so 'scary' because he thinks it will make him always young? Most celebrities choose plastic surgery, but whatever floats ya boat!

[Amur]

ummm...
can someone tell me who is an author of The Wall song which Chris made a cover?

[State_Of_Emergency]

I had some TLE tones i made but I got rid of them all, I can't stand to hear a good song being 'beeped'!

Yeah I don't really like U2 but the cover is awesome. I also prefer TLE's Leilani to the original, it seems to have so much more energy or something.. hmm. And Girls On Film. I love that cover :D

my one doesn't beep, i have MP3 ringtones, that i can d/l on my phone myself, and don't have to pay- yay!

it sings the song for a ringtone.. I love my phone, it's soooo smart :D

[KillingInTheNameOf]

this may be a dead end thread but I dont' care. The living end is one of those bands that makes me like songs I hate otherwise. Such as tainted love and sunday bloody sunday. Man I hate U2 and I hate tainted love!. But through the living end not only can I take it I really liike it! If I'm missing any let me know hah. Also who agrees??

Haha I actually prefer the orginal in both songs :p

[*M!]

wow - not many people've heard the original version of Tainted Love...

good effort Grumma :p

*M!

[luke_the edge_dragons]

well u2 is my favourite band along with TLE and i have to say i like the original sunday bloody sunday better (especially live...it is amazing!!!!). i think that it means more to u2 (you know...seeing they're irish & the song is about violence in ireland and everything!!!). i also have to say that i think tainted love by soft cell is pretty ordinary song but was made fantastic by TLE.

[Colezy]

ummm...

Icehouse sung the original :)

wow - not many people've heard the original version of Tainted Love...

good effort Grumma :p

*M!

You serious?? How could anyone not have heard the original?? wow! TLE's versions are way better though! :p

[*M!]

You serious?? How could anyone not have heard the original?? wow! TLE's versions are way better though! :p

well i've never heard the original...

It was originally recorded in 1964 by Gloria Jones and became a popular song on the Northern Soul scene. It attained worldwide fame after it was covered in 1981 (1982 in the US) by Soft Cell.

*M!

[Colezy]

OK, well maybe its just me!! I've heard it and a few of my friends have..well 2 of them! Cause they played it to me to listen to! :p

[*M!]

wow - that's cool

i'd like to hear the original...

i love music from the 60s... i was brought up on the stuff...

i bet it'd sound weird!

*M!

[Colezy]

I'll see if I can track it down from my friend and pass it on to you! :)

[*M!]

hehe - cool - thanks Colezy - it'll be edu-ma-cational!

:)

*M!

[The Dying Start]

Icehouse sung the original :)

Wasn't it technically The Flowers? Or did i just pull that outta my arse?

[State_Of_Emergency]

well i've never heard the original...



*M!

i've got it M*! i've got slow version and TLE's version of it if ya want it

[State_Of_Emergency]

i bet it'd sound weird!

*M!

yeah, it kinda does.. its slower than TLE's and it takes longer to start on the lyrics

it's pretty good, but i prefer TLE's version personally

[Julia]

Wasn't it technically The Flowers? Or did i just pull that outta my arse?

You are correct. My Mum saw them live about a gazillion times at the ANU bar, and she has that album with Walls on it, the album is called Icehouse if I'm not mistaken. Just a bit of random Mum trivia for you all...

I wouldn't Call this song a "cover" but Wake Up Is Very simmilar to Another Brick In The Wall. Not In sound but story of the song.

[mel_bound]

*sigh*

The Pink Floyd comparison has been done to death. :p

I'm surprised no-one has gone crazy at the fact One Step Behind sounds so much like Power and the Passion.. the horn parts are so damn similar!

[Evil Chris]

They Confessed it on the video ;) I actually didnt know its been done to death. Sorry.

[mel_bound]

hehe that's ok.. and I know they mentioned it on various vids and stuff.. but the horn parts!!



:p

[The Dying Start]

Yeah it was meant to sound like that.

Oh No TLE=Green Day!

Oh No TLE=MidnightOil!

[*M!]

has anyone compared done the TLE = Easybeats thing yet

(thinking goes a little something like this LLTW = Friday on my Mind (ish) )

this is possibly why i found SOE one of their most uninteresting releases - it's all been done by other bands that i knew whereas at the time i first herd their earlier stuff it was all new and shiny to me...

*M!

[The Dying Start]

Oh yeah...the Easybeats one.

Hang on...let me do a recap...

TLE=Green Day
TLE=Midnight Oil
TLE=Easybeats

And keep your cookie to yourself. I'm taken. Sorry!

[*M!]

ewww - i didn't mean that *scrunches up face at Glenn*

no offence or nothing but my feelings for you stopped at the irrational crush phase :p

i only went through that because it was mandatory anyway otherwise i would've just gone straight for Jawn like everyone else!

can i interest you in a werthers original instead of a cookie?

:p

*M!

[The Dying Start]

Well I am pretty hawt.

Thanks, I'll take your silky smooth werthers original.
