I expected no less.
BTW it has nothing to do with reggae per se : this cover is a crime against humanity and decency !

I've seen them live more than once, They're a local band. Sounded good after seven Newcastle Browns and it did sober aswell!

Can't argue with the live experience.

But I guess it is kinda funny after a few vodka's.

Thanks too. I guess I'll never forget the first time I heard their version of A forest.

Punk music is the reason why DDT should be on the legal pesticide list again...

Then again... hilarious version

IZ.

its an ace version

the loonies are a lovely bunch.

i heard this version played at the phono a couple of years ago - tracked a vinyl copy of the album down via their website and bought it

when it came i realised it didn't have the track on it so i emailed them - they sent me a free copy of the cd version too

ended up having a little email correspondence with the singer and his wife. nice couple

i also seem to recall danny mass (from salvation) grooving on down to it that night at the phono with a huge grin

would that be a bloke by the anme of chris wheelchair?

Listen, delete and then..."go back to the shadow"

Brilliant.

Aww, bless y'all for bringing this up!
Our awful cover version has brought at least one person to tears at a gig in the past (for ruining their favourite song of all time).
I personally rate "Temple of Love" as a personal fave of mine too. And that's why we did it. Playing our shoddy interpretation is still a highlight for us all, some 11 years since it's nigh accidental conception. All royalties went to Andrew Eldrich. And we've since (spookily) stayed, coincidentally, at his old flat in Leeds. Patricia Morrison thought it a hoot when we played it, supporting The Damned yonks back.
Cover versions are tributes, usually (and, especially, in our case) proving how blinkin' good the original versions were. Not trying to make a point, but appreciating music and havin' a darn good laugh on the way!
The goths in Plymouth always, bizarrely, I felt, enjoyed our travesty. c Though clearing dancefloors is always a bonus (aids to a more swuft exit for the band).
Love'n'Laughs,
Chris Wheelie (a Bus Station Loony)

Ooh yeah, hello! I am Chris Wheelchair... thanks again for yapping 'bout all this, I'm honoured!
It weren't me wife that ran the merchandise, but Hilary the Hunchback (my mum). And I am ill all the time (or so it blummin' feels!). I gots M.E./Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Yuppie 'Flu/Skivers Disease...

more luv'n'laffs and a bit of a lie-down,

Chris Wheelie =:0) xX

You have the guts to appear on this forum after we discussed your cover version of TOL ! You don't even seem mad at those including me who said it was crap ?
Man I respect you big time !
