Hi,

Haven't been on this forum for a whle, so it may be covered already. But anyways, this is the best SOM cover I ever heard:

Zis corrozion

Bit too jazz for my taste, but even so, it's still a damn fine interpretation.

Quite good but gets a bit monotonous after a while.

Only because we've been listening to it far too many times. :wink:

I think lampchops influences sounds much better than jim steinman's boring 10 minute marathon. It's still nice if the sisters are playing TC live but I can't really stand the studio version.

A damn fine version which really captures the spirit of the original, I definitely like it and it is one of best of the best Sisters covers I ever listened to :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

agree studio version of TC is a too long boring joke. it's so long that you forgot that is a joke.

:eek: you folks must be crazy :eek:
love corrosion and it can be 20 minutes long or even more with only the same end chanting, triple snare or something :P
one thing breaking my heart is that i will never hear proper studio release of this by sisterhood :?

That's why I hate long jokes generally - always missing the point because I get tired of listening :lol:

I wouldn't say that lambchops version is something I could hear all day long but I like it occasionally - you'll definetly need to right mood.

I shudder to think about the demo before Steinman got a hold of it, just plain awful!

I'd never thought of This Corrosion as a lullaby before, I could soon fall to sleep listening to this.
Not for me, sorry.

It's out there somewhere - and it's not bad actually. :wink:

Yeah I can agree to this impression regarding to 99.9% of the other TSOM covers out there - mostly because the performers are trying to copy eldos voice and tunes in a 1:1 style what is doomed to failure of course :lol:

Yes it is. Both of them.

But the finished version's brilliant. Especially the choir.

I agree I have heard 3 and they are all bad!

Together with Foetus cover of First & Last & Always this is the best cover of a Sisters song :notworthy:

shouldn't be allowed. full stop. unless it's the smurphs (RIP). though the best cover by the sisters (after much consideration over 20+ years) is the radio session of jolene, which just nudges the live emma into second place. fact. :von:

:eek: :urff:

lampchops aside (can't listen as at work!) TC great live but awesome as a studio 10 min version, absolutely awesome :notworthy:

back in the day the long intro gave us goths time to get ourselves onto the dancefloor by the time the bass kicked in!!

i can listen to this in the car over and over :D

I'm a huge fan of ol' JG Thirwell, but I thought that FALAA was pretty bad--he really just phoned it in. I expect more from him.

edit: and I still think the best TSOM cover I've ever heard is the Supersuckers doing Afterhours.

"phoned it in" :lol:

he claims that he hadn't even heard the original - he just found the lyrics on the web and put them to a tune he was already working on :notworthy:
