Mark Morriss of the Bluetones did a great version of Lucretia (My Reflection) a few years back.
The video's a right laugh where he plays all his band members, with the singer character resplendent in Aviators and leather gloves.

Supersuckers did Afterhours many years ago. I rather liked that one.

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

Warrel Dane's cover of Lucretia is one of my fave Sisters covers.
(and More - that dude Meatloaf was reasonably famous)

The Rolling Stones did Gimme Shelter, but they altered lyrics.
I quite like that....a different but effective take on it.Nonesuch wrote: ↑09 Nov 2021, 22:17 Mark Morriss of the Bluetones did a great version of Lucretia (My Reflection) a few years back.

thanks for posting!
Listening to some of these cover versions has made me appreciate some of Eldritch's vocal techniques even more. He may not be the greatest ever 'singer', but his delivery always takes it to another level. His use of rhythm, emphasis and pauses etc. is very evident when you listen to other people singing the words.
I know it's good to interpret things in different ways, but sometimes these singers sound like they don't really know the song that well, as if they're just reading the lyrics from a sheet. Seems to lose a bit in translation.

I know these have been mentioned here before, but they're definitely worth listening to again. Stripped back acoustic versions and very good they are indeed.

A load of monks did More, some woman butchered TC on stage with Von and the Mekons (Sally Timms) did a pretty great Alice.
Goths have feelings too

I don't know if I'd call it crap necessarily, but by 90 seconds in I'm thinking "bland and uninspired; ultimately, really boring." Which I suppose is worse than being bad, really.
OK, I got all the way to the end. There's absolutely no intensity to this.
