downzy Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The Ramones and The Clash.Good call on the Ramones. I've always thought they and the Beastie Boys were two of the most overrated musical groups ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I once watched an Italian band in an Irish pub in Rome ripping off U2 for two hours: U2 covers, originals which sounded like U2 covers - all the time with that horrible digital delay guitar thing. This, and sung with an Italian accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, and sung with an Italian accent.Last October I spent the evening in a bar just south of Tijuana listening to fat dudes in sombreros singing Eagles covers in heavy Mexican accents.

Gracii Guns Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Arctic Monkeys.I realised the other day that he sings in a Yorkshire accent. Presumably everyone else finds this alluring, exotic and sexually arousing, which is why they are popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I don't like any other song of theirs but that is the fuckin bollocks, even right down to that exact video and the way they perform it, it's got a proper dancey groove to it, it's straight ahead, it's energetic, it's jittery sounding, like it's coked up, even the way the lead guy holds his fuckin' guitar, up to his tits like it was 1961, it just all looks different, quirky, the croaky drummers backing vocals help the pacing along, like there's someone 5 miles behind the track, the way he sings and sounds exactly like what and who he is, no matter what sorts of people there are out there that reckon singing shouldn't be that way, even down to the lyrics and the way that last line before the chorus is all crammed in and pacey bringing you right up to that pay off chorus, that "lighting the fuse might result in a bang b-b-bang, go!", it's all a little quirky, a little different, it has something and in recent years it's absolutely the best fuckin' debut single i've heard, it's just a shame nothing else they did was quite in that sort of direction.I think its note perfect from one end to the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Linguini Occurrence Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I've always thought they and the Beastie Boys were two of the most overrated musical groups ever. Beasties are the pioneers of rap-rock, that alone prevents them from being overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody's got the first album there's a thank you in the liner notes to "Gaz from Boro". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
