Keane - She Sells Sanctuary

[MrChavers666]

ace tune boys.. really good version 

[Itakeonlinesurveys8]

Once, I was looking for a cover of Bowie and Queen's Under Pressure. Keane did it very well. Now they're covering this. Goosebumps.

[3Roget]

One of the finest bands of recent times covering a classic song by one of the finest bands of all time. Absolutely brilliant!!

[TravAkira]

I went to a Keane concert, having NO knowledge of their discography, and it was a SICK SHOW. One of the best bands I've EVER seen in concert.

[playingtheangel21]

geez so many haters - its a cover, its not ment to BE like the cult's version, its suposed to be their work, with a song that already exists, if u dont like it, listen to the original . its true that when they cover people, like they did with the enjoy the silence and others, it sounds more like a demo than their usual work, but of course the fans of the original will be disapointed, they always will.

[e65tx]

beast cover

[ninatheheadresser]

noooooooooooooooooo



[aarlevanbram]

Covering this song without guitars. Brave Men! Well done!

[ACERAMGAD]

[OfficialKovak]

Worst......Cover......Ever

[ACERAMGAD]

@OfficialKovak WHAT WHY?

[keykokiono]

Greaaaaaat cover, Keane rules

[italianbhoy]

omg that was shocking. absymal, anodyne, watered-down easy listening elevator music rubbish!

watch the real thing at brixton academy in '87 then watch this mince.

[gsxr7nut]

@italianbhoy you forgot to mention lame,otherwise good description!

[MikeyGall89]

TUBES!!!!

[nakedcook42]

They did way better with under pressure...in fact it's my best all time cover period

[woodenheart17]

WELL SAID cicero5513

[sykeen]

shit , rubbish , crap , o my god i am stunned that this was allowed .. keane need shooting for this

[Tsumepawa]

@sykeen Do better, then.

[korming]

@Tsumepawa Well said.

[KDub1963]

@sykeen Really?? What's so bad about it I ask?? You a Keane fan?

[botifarra82]

Cuando a la gente "le tocan" los clásicos se revolucionan. Creo que es una versión digna, y que está hecha desde la admiración del propoio grupo a The Cult. Hay que ser menos radical..

[GUNNAHZ70]

This lad should stick to the beer...synthed to fucking bits with voice improvement software doing its bit....can hear it a mile off.

[Quillons1]

Not a bad version. He sings it well but you REALLY miss that acoustic guitar riff that pops. It's in there but much more subtle in this version.

[robferris34]

I'd be interested to know what Billy and Ian think about it

[aidyspady999]

sounds like if she sells sanctuary was turned into a Mario game theme

[annieaberdeen59]

I agree total blasphemy....OMG!!!!!!!

[jm29164]

very good effort 8/10 coz ive heard some other covers and they are tosay the least crap!

[73Calirobo]

OH WHAT HELL IS THIS! BLASPHEMY!!!!

[TheDaisyDuked]

There must be some Law against this. Please make them stop. These middle class, shoe gazing mother fuckers are taking somthing beautiful and makinging it bad. The Cult 10/10. Keane 0/10. THEY ARE EVIL.

[luieu2]

Brilliant love it !

[barbapapa58]

a ecouter lematin au petit dej cest mieux que la vitamine c ca met une peche d enfer;;;;;;;;;;;ILOVE KEANEEEEEEEEE

[MrSte208]

yes the original version can never be reproduced but thumbs up to keane the best rendition so far

[KevReborn]

Not as edgy as The Cult, it loses something in this version, feels like there is no emotion like there is in the original, it feels forced and contrived , (at least to me)

like someone has had to convince them!l to do a cover of this song, half hearted.

[KevReborn]

[lowendthud]

Ok, in all fairness, not may bands would try to cover SUCH an important song. This is as much of a "classic" as any song out there. This is SO well done, they totally kept the integrity of the song, and everything about it and why the fans love this song. I stumbled across this and glad I did. This original will ALWAYS reign supreme, no question. BUT, if you are going to cover a classic song, do it with the class that KEANE did. Props to this band, whoever they are......

[TheAdrew1967]

cheat robbin twat

[planeman95]

Have people got nothing better to do with their time than to slag off a band who are just doing a wee cover of a song by a band they're big fans of?

[LiquorWreckedEmGood]

am i riding in an elevator?

god-awful C-R-A-P.

[shockandawe]

this is fun - the cult were all about production

[SuperCaRION]

original BETTER!



[AbaKeane]

GREAT

[bigredan]

Good god, is nothing sacred. Pudgy faced little mummys boys. Someone put them out of their misery.

[TheBankrobber77]

ABSOLUTE SHITE!

[bellerophon30]

Will they just release an album of covers already? This along with With or Without You and Under Pressure are a great start (like most I didn't dig Enjoy the Silence as much, though it was decent). I like the alternate take on the music here, and the contrast between Tom and Ian Astbury was notable. I would say great job Keane, except that they always do a great job, they're quality.

[odannon]

NEXT..

[synthexes]

this cover sounds very good! well done!

[darriusslibertyjacks]

GREAt tune

[MrGajka6]

sorry,I don't like it

[sacr7]

@MrGajka6 What, u dont like it cause u could do it better ??

[KatieohsoRaNdOm]

as a fan of Keane I loved the cover, I think if Keane covered any of my other favorite bands, I would be honored and excited.

[therealrockondon]

KEANE COME BACK TO PORTLAND OREGON ROSELAND THEATRE GREETINGS FROM ROCKONDON..

[therealcockupdon616]

@therealrockondon therealrockondon u mean that dirty old pedofail will u stop at nothing to get ur bum filled will u dim

[sas147741]

Nice!

[steviemax147]

Keane are an extrodinary talent!

[MrMiguelon74]

I Cult sono i Cult.....questi sono delle merde....cover AGGHIACCIANTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ForrHonour]

perfect cover

[TheSTAZZ69]

this guys needs good band f never hear of him wish all the best ,,dude sounds very good pl i beg break that key board dude ,,

[Endercillo]

Cult Forever, Forever Cult

CFFC

[59TweedVibrolux]

Great Rendition by a very good band (Keane). Kudos for covering such a Classic and doing it justice. Billy Duffy kills !!!

[equinox9]

Not as good as the original but I like their take on it.

[MegaPoone]

i heard this way back in the 80's when it first came out. Played it to death and this aint too bad...

[rishabhpb]

Jeez, what's with the hate? Keane fans love it... if you don't, just go back and listen to the original. No one's going to The Cult's video and disliking it!

[MrChuddi]

@MidnightRambler73 ....Scottish IS British....British= England +scotland+wales+northern Ireland......just thought id let you know :)

[MrMarvolution]

@MrChuddi the United Kingdom includes Northern Island. Britain is made up of Scotland, England and Wales. That's why at major sporting events it's GB & NI. Being a little pedantic I know but I appreciate your sentiments to our neighbours over the pond.

As for this cover, I like Keane and it's a fair decent crack of the whip for what is a classic tune. The original is best by far

[Keltibarian]

I don't think I've posted any negative comments on this vid in a while... So it's about that time again, I guess.

Death to everyone involved in this fucking abortion.

[SRTAJESSIROCK]

this sucks

[angelwz73]

Whoa..whoever said "for teenagers", voice barely ok," etc. was not talkin about Tom, I hope. YOU'RE WAY OFF. Tom is one of the best out there. And Keane is one of the best bands!

[DrJackyllandMrHide]

Ian Astbury and William Duffy are an original. To have someone sugar coat this with bubble gum and sugar for teenagers to get off on is a disgrace. Voice barely ok. Learn to write and play an instrument.

[u2v3e]

@DrJackyllandMrHide "For teenagers", "Voice barely ok", "Learn to write and play an instrument"... is this directed to Keane?

[bristolsteve]

The only problem with this cover is that you can make out the lyrics...

[InfamousHDB]

I just tried bench pressing the effects on the vocals in this cover....

I need more steroids.

[MacLanny]

Let me explain this in terms anyone could understand. Imaginine you fuck a girl last year. Imagine you fuck a different girl tody. Different girls, different styles, same song. get it?

Anyone who gets hung up on which one was "better" is missing the point, and probably not getting any.

[SanctumStudios]

@MacLanny generally speaking the origonal is always better because anyone can copy, not anyone can create. For example I can play some jimmy hendrix stuff but that doesn't make me jimmy hendrix's asshole. Not sure how this translates to your sex analogy.. maybe it means that last years girl was hot, and todays girl was fat and ugly. But that doesn't mean todays girl wasn't fun : )

[Coldplaytero]

Keane Rocks!!!

[louquarm]

Be gentle on Keane .Sure it sounds a little too sweet and U2 ISH at times,but it still rocks.

They are not trying to replace the Cult, they are just paying tribute to an amazing song from awesome band.

Now what's wrong with that?

[ourwayne]

relax mates...of course cult is it...but, i think the song holds up with the cover..just my opinion.

[skarbelly]

This is a truly rubbish cover of a truly great rock classic.

[BrazilllDe]

Maravilhosa esta musica eles sao demais amo esse gruoo mt bomm

[MrVegy]

Not even close ... you port-addicted buttwipe!

[AbaKeane]

GREAT

[Proonion4]

Now we're all waiting for the Susan Boyle & Paul Potts duet. They will rock the socks off of this one.

[guitapie1]

shave and go home....

[romelito77]

This is a BIG RAPE....dont try to ruined anymore songs KEANE

[mdejong140]

if only a song could scream RAPE

[MrD10de]

Must confess I was surprised by this.

Sure, it ain't The Cult by a longshot, but the instrumentation is fairly sound and the vocals aren't too bad.

Besides, I can think of at least 100 other artists who would have done far worse things to this song than Keane have.

[AbaKeane]

I love it.

I dont heard another comments.

Keep away.

[damonch1000]

I just lost 4:35 of my life.

[mtnd00]

what the fuck

[rudyvanhern]

Is this guy one of the hobbits in lord of the rings?Oh, by the way the song is not that bad,I think Ian Astbury won't kill him.

[spazz43]

@rudyvanhern Your right this guy looks like one of the hobbits in lord of the rings lol. I think Ian Astbury does a better job thats for sure but this gut is good. ,I think Ian Astbury won't kill him either.

[trioutj]

not as terrible as i thought it would be

[MrD10de]

@trioutj Seconded!

[PaultheAlchemist]

yeah its not the cult, but its not bad.

[boodog66]

Utter Pish - keep keyboards away from decent rock songs

[UltraYNK]

oh no, I should not have played this at all. Keane - whoever you are - don't do it again.

[empty1971]

KEANE - dont fix what aint broke! STAY AWAY FROM CLASSICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eawalpurgis]

this version really suckssss!!!!!!!!!

[racerx757]

Great song great job singing this the one song I wish I could sing...

[maapa1982]

congrats man, you just raped a little piece of every single person that loves the cult. including me. not to mention how much you disgraced the band, i hope you feel good about yourself now.

[muddydisco4]

Keane.......now all of go and stand in the corner and think about what you've just done!!!.......

Some things should be left as they are....she sells sanctuary is one of them.

[PaultheAlchemist]

@muddydisco4 hahahahahnice!

[ispawn2own]

OH MY GOD GAY ALERT WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS ?

[sevo74]

I propose ripping out there lead singer's spine and making it into a mic stand for Ian Astbury as a means of making things right.

[joeperegrino]

que porqueria mas grande

[wikidsledge]

Sucks!!!

[VooDooXII]

Excellent rendition. I think the point of a cover is for the covering band to put their own spin on it. It's boring if it sounds the same.

[tapytap525]

yeah... kinda killed it :(

[fergusthepoet]

What next? Whole Lotta Love? Disgraceful.

Keane? Yeah, like they're just say taytally rock'n'roll, yah?!

[Sandyhendry]

I guess all the people who like this version of the song are the original cult fans who remember them when they made tunes like Maya and Go West Young Man and the people who hate it are the head bangers who liked later stuff like Love Removal Machine, which was the only good song an a useless album. I was at a concert where the audience was split 50-50 and, to be fair, there was no aggro in the moshing circle!

[Sandyhendry]

As a Cult fan, I like it. It would be crap if it sounded exactly the same. Don't listen to their Enjoy the Silence cover though. They really murdered that one!

[cicero5513]

I think we can all agree that the original is much better. Hard to improve on a masterpiece. However this is an interesting version and I give him a thumbs up for helping introduce the musically deprived current generation to a classic.

[judgewhopper]

@cicero5513 Agreed. Coincidentally, in 20 years, we'll say that this version was made in the year 20xx, and the original will continue to be timeless--unless, of course, you're watching the video.

[trabecklbz]

Poop and Pee! Look Mom i got a Keyboard.

[iamhockey77]

This is awful. The only thing The Cult and Keane have in common, is that they're both from England. That's it. Kidz Bop, could cover this song better than Keane! I know some artists think they can cover classics, and they can't. Just like the Killers disgraced, Joy Division's classic shadowplay. Just as awful as this crap!

[SVTtaurus]

Is this 'Bieber sells sanctuary' or something??

[CFL35]

this is terrible

[Egghed666]

What a pile of shit. Shit band, shit cover of a classic tune. Sissy boy posho bands should leave real music alone.

[DarcyPrendergast]

Lesson 1 in how to turn an amazing song bad.

[NunchucksMehWord]

I personally like it.

[YorBLoke]

1 of my favourite songs of my youth...fair play to keane..they did a cover...but you can never beat any original...but like me they freakin love the song too..so they did a tribute....

[4ndyish]

its a good cover version,though they realy not got that lucazade punch jut yet like the cult did,and the cult were much much better live .

[D0ST03VSKY]

This is not a cover, this is a disgrace.

[racey151179]

Too watered down, too soft, diluted.........you get the idea. 

[ViciousAlienKlown]

Wow, this song lacks what made the original so great. This has no punch, no soul and misses the point.

[deptfordsid]

Keane, Coldplay - public schoolboys with no balls, no soul and no taste.

Music for bedwetters.

[w3redgee]

@deptfordsid if do not like keane, you do not like music, man!

[Schenker1067]

but where is the guitar and the bass???

this is not a artificial sound song!!!

get musicians and mix the real on !!!

[sa65cn1]

I like this singer but everybody bombs somethies, I guess.

[SRTAJESSIROCK]

SUCKS

[slane8]

This is actually a really good reinterpretation of a great song. Is it as good as the original? No. The original is the song in its purest form. But that is not what I want to hear from a cover. Personally I hate covers that sound almost exactly like the original. Hats off to Keane for making a version of this song in their own style.

[belldandy222]

LES AMOOOOO

[weda0604]

I see what some of you are getting at. Yeah, Cult still makes this song what it is but I am going to be honest this is a pretty good cover.

[msutennnis23]

this is about ten times better than the original. It solved the problems of the ridiculously repetitive lyrics and the weak chorus.

[alaustin]

@msutennnis23 you can fuck off.. you obviously know nothing about music.. now go n watch x factor

[angelarayrocks]

that was mean.

[nomadically02]

this is horrible compared to the cult. :( what a horrible way to ruin a classic song.

[Yorkazuna]

Jeez emo much?

[Snibo]

Oh no.....this is so wrong on so many levels.

Hang your heads in shame Guys.

WTF !!

[YunaBonbeurre]

"She sells sanctuary"

school playground version

[cuayocasa]

Sorry you all!! but no one did it better than the cult!! like it or not!! this Guy had the balls to sing it!! period!!

[Muzzie0323]

I dont know why everyone is so upset. This cover isnt bad at all..

[itsthebenefitcheats]

I think it's a really good cover. It's a B-Side. Why take it so seriously anyway?

[Sk8BoardTrucker]

Wow! knowing keane i was expecting this to be awesome bu it's not...as weird as this might sound they made it sound totally...80's!!!-does that make any sense to anyone? it sounds like a midi ringtone

[Jazz161088]

Took the balls out of it, yep. sry keane, love ya though

[MegaFunkyskunk]

oh my fucking god noooooooooooooooooooo, may you all burn in hell for this

[Chchchaz]

The song wasnt ready to get that done to it

[CherryONeil]

Ladies and gentlemen ... The CULT! Only they can sing this song

[cujomojo2007]

The best form of flattery is imitation, or in this case cover version. What did you all expect, a better version of what is one of the best songs ever? Kudos to Keane for picking this track to cover, but you can't improve on perfection.

[Antichrist2000]

It's nothing bold, practicly the same to the old version. But it's a nice cover.

[dogsofwar007]

he looks like a puffy faced 'wannanbe' frat boy and this version is shite .. go and see the original video ... yes - it's on YOUTUBE.com

[sybamunki]

yuk, sounds like a cheap TV commercial

[HannaHannita]

Uhmmm I love the Cult, and this cover is not that bad, but it turns a kick ass song into a queer one.

[pureluck101]

Respect for attempting to do a new spin on this classic... but..... ITS GOT NO FUCKIN PUNCH!!!

[scond1]

For those of you hatin', name one other copy of this song. Glad they had the balls to try.

Wankers.

(is that what you're saying in the UK these days, or wrong decade?)

[anunnaki3600]

@scond1 ....ENUFF Z'NUFF!!!!!

[Keltibarian]

So this is what The Cult might sound like if they had all the life sucked out of them and were fronted by a teenage girl. Do not want.

[eLECTROLOSIS]

Vocal take is really good, The rest is abit 'meh'

[jake43325]

justin bieber version

[under7taker]

@jake43325 chinga tu madre no confundas gimnasia con magnesia y mi pregunta si no te gusta para que lo vez??? pendejo

[jake43325]

@under7taker lol you mad boy? ha ha!

[ChrissyMontagne]

Weak, Gay, Whiney and Lazy.

An insult to the soulful original.

[b4236368b]

I like this version... but... it's like drinking alcohol-free beer: tastes similar but what's the point..?

[00twanga00]

Never ever mess with a classic .Get a pen and paper and write your own or fuck off

[misterniceguyffs]

what a hell did he do to this nice the cult song?? But its a cover anyway. hi just gave his style to this song... (a bad one)

[MultiKanut]

pussy version

[dogsofwar007]

who is this guy? .. he has a fat face of a 14 yr old ... it's NOT a German disco tune Phat-cheeks!

[ksinger1117]

@dogsofwar007

His name is Tom Chaplin. Happens to have one of the best voices in modern music.

[synergysailing]

this just doesn't work........at all!

[Mottahead]

Good version.

Yet the original version is better.

[jordan8445]

this is queer, the back burning came from the singers queering.

[mackinthedoo]

Lots of reverb to make it sound cooler. not as bad as it could have been.

[jazzman16771]

lame
