Is that the D Mode song?

The Depeche Mode song is called "Never let me down again". I don't know if this is the song that The m*****n has made a cover of. Anyway the DM song is one of the best songs ever made!!

It's Husseys voice and the way he sings that ruins it for me. And yeah, it's one of my fave songs. I played it to my friends teenage daughters and they called it heavy, head banging music. Never thought I'd hear DM get classed as head banging!

Gimme gimme gimme.... me in a shower at 7 am after having 10 pints of Guinness the night before..

Gimme gimme gimme.. me checking in at Stansted airport after having 10 pints of Guinness the night before..

Me neither. Those daughters must listen to really soft music if they find DM as headbanging

They listen to chart (c)rap type stuff Which imo has no conviction to it musically. It's the smacking snare in NLMDA that makes them want to headbang!

Dr. Avalanche also has one hell of a snare if he wants to. On Floodland in general and on "Dominion/MR" and "Lucretia" particularly.

those vocals are shame
the original song is an ace, no doubt
love the video, too
(as a shameless self promotion i can say that last week i was photographed by one Corbijn's disciple or smth, i. e. a photographer to whom AC has personally taught his secrets )

Ehhhhh.Spill the beans, I'm intrigued!!!!

Yes pikkrong - EXPLAIN.

Me? I'm not sure is it so interesting...
It was a Swedish photographer (ethnically a Norwegian, if I don't mistake) called Cato Lein. He told Anton Corbijn had taught him some professional secrets. Was a very nice person (that Lein, I mean). Showed me his own exhibition - there were photos of Zadie Smith and other respectable peeps Cool monochrome pictures, indeed. A little bit Corbijnish but not only.
Why me? I was as a participant in the Stockholm Poetry Festival. By the way, the first thing he asked me while he took the pictures, was: "You like Joy Division, too?" (In the booklet of the festival there was told I had presented my second book on the 20th anniversary of Curtin's suicide.)
Entschuldigung, again too much off-topic stories...

Resurrecting a dead thread...

Just heard a terrible version of Love Will Tear Us Apart on 6Music by the bizarrely named Hawksley Workman. Should you feel the need to listen to this, make sure all small children and pets are safetly out of earshot.

In studio

and he's been busy behind the scenes

little frank's only made of cardboard you know. he's not real. he lives in box in my attic along with my creaming jesus dolly

Frank trashed Little Frank on James Whale's late night TV show sometime in the late 80's/early 90's (although I'm sure he made another one.)

Coincidentally in a couple of hours it's exactly 14 years since a drunken That Guitarist made a prat of himself on the same show!

What about Tori Amos' version of Slayer's "Raining blood"?

Blimey, where d'you dig this up from Red?

I'll add the cover of Comfortably Numb that was in the charts recently. It's bizarre and sh*te.

JAMC - Surfin' USA. Interesting.
Nick Cave - Disco 2000, in a slow waltz-ballad stylee.
Anything from the thoroughly disappointing Rosetta Stone 80s covers album.
The Shroud - Alice. Brilliant, pity about their own material. To think I bought one of their albums

And I'm not mentioning the Ukrainians doing their Smiths covers again ...

2004, the year of the very, very bad cover?
