Lambchop - This Corrosion (The Sisters of Mercy Cover)

[theheathenrager]

Oh my! What a great cover. The Black Kites offered a great tribute with Lucretia, My Reflection as well. In both instances the bands are offering something new and fresh to the sound, not simply mimicking it.

[punktnollan]

This is probably one of the most brilliant covers I've ever heard. Lambchop has done what every band should do when playing covers, they made it their own.

[sinistralwing]

Not sure if want.

[badsign1980]

THIS BAND IS CRAP LIKE 99% BANDS TODAY, JUST BECAUSE THEIR NAME THEY SHOULD BE FORGOTTEN FOREVER, THEY ARE INSULT TO CREATIVITY AND INTELLIGENCE

[dljc1979]

@badsign1980 | what do you listen to? soft jazz? FUCK OFF!!! TWAT!!!

[froggythefrog]

@badsign1980 I don't understand. Is this cover the only song you've heard by them? While this isn't a bad cover, if all Lambchop's music sounded like this cover, I wouldn't be into them. Thing is, they have a lot of songs that are truly their own. If you're actually interested, I would look at "Up With People" and "The Man Who Loved Beer". I am not saying you'll like these... I am saying these are examples of talent.

[Sianseguin]

i love the remake..the dude is great..but the song loses for female vocals...backgrounds not enough to me

[bumfarto1]

I Luuurve the Sisters and this is such a bostin cover version. Brilliant! Now please cover 'Valentine'!

[barrry9]

This is what covers are SUPPOSED to be - none of this its-the-exact-as-the-original-­just-with-different-musicians rubbish. Why bother covering a song if you're not going to do anything with it and make it your own?

[starrychica82]

Okay I like this. My friend told me about it and I though it was the sock puppet. Very happy its not

[geschae]

blue or red ,

the sisters or lambchop ,

who cares ??? lt `s a good song ***

[TheFingerbang1]

Nice cover; certainly not an obvious choice but perhaps that's the point.

[jeffrejackson]

Young people commonly confuse volume with intensity. That's not surprising. I'd just suggest you revisit this version when you have a few more years under your belt and a deeper and wider sense of what "corrosion" means.

[bongobill635]

This is a cover by musicians that are either too lazy or too untalented (or both) to give it the bombast and technicality it deserves.

This is not an "easy-listening" song for your grandparents to play at their next bridge game--despite these hacks who would like you to think otherwise.

[chaosroyalevideo]

@bongobill635 I think there's already a band who did that version..."Sisters of" something??

[superslick10]

nice cover, still prefer the original

[micaxmaca]

Lambchop are having concert in my town these days so I was searching youtube for some of their songs and found this cover. I love Sisters and the original song but I think this is brilliant. Love it.

[DocSommer]

@micaxmaca

Thanks for the hint because I took a look at their homepage and found a gig in my town as well. Hope it isn't sold out by now.

[Shards013]

Absolute f'ing shite!

[geschae]

this is very good !!

[suzek55]

This is quite simply stunning. What a beautiful version.

[wesmls]

This cover brings tear to my eyes...I like it that much.

[intobearzz]

wow! i totally agree with tgrosvenor! this is brilliant! 

[henrypeckstv]

hey kurt...how do you like these apples?

[soulstormblues1977]

Intersting cover! Really original.

[rabbikirshbaum]

He sounds just like Blixa Bargeld. The whole song sounds like the Einstürzenden Neubauten made it.

[wesmls]

@rabbikirshbaum: It does. I couldn't put my finger on it, but his voice seemed so familiar. I would love to hear Blixa's take on it, but I adore this cover regardless.

[arielr]

I love the music, but the vocal...

[HarlotBug3]

Case in point: 9/10 it's best to make a cover entirely unlike the original. I might look into this band.

[Weirdo123098]

What genre would this cover be? It sound sort of like Jazzy Folk.

[R391s]

Being a SOM fan, I must recognize that this cover is a piece of art. Try the In Extremo one if you prefer Metal...

[yebhx]

@R391s No, Don't try that, that cover might be the worst cover I have ever heard. The video is hilarious however.

[R391s]

@yebhx I totally agree with you :P

[jammybastardh]

yep, the best sisters cover ever

[ChristophSiebert]

I love this song!

[hinksey777]

Nothing wrong with this - very very J. J. Cale - but much much better.

[powerjump1]

WOW!

Best Cover!!!!!

[stapaxx]

Very Cool. Echt geil!

[tthwrthwrhthwrth]

i love this music

[coolalex32]

it's much softer than the orignal by SOM. I have to say I prefer the orignal

[nearlybled2death]

ditto to the "best som cover ever" comments. out of this world!

[blueman1610]

..........INCREDIBLE.......

[queenofbrightness]

...................yes

[jhondoe1981]

What a Masterpiece! A M A Z I N G ! ! !

[tgrosvenor]

A cover version should create a new song. This is one of the best covers EVER.

[fearoffema]

absolutely the best som cover on utube

[BernietheWombat]

wow

I'm amazed

[jasperklimbie]

Hear them do this live. They started off even quieter and calmer and had a truly explosive ending. I'll try to post the bootleg in the future. I've been to hundreds of concert, but Lambchop doing this song beat anything hands down....

[looge2000]

May I ask where you saw them?

[25Hz]

This is still one of the best Sisters-covers I've ever heard.

[Danasters]

Quite uniquely superb.

[Coil12]

Best Sisterscover I've ever heard. The best covers are those that reinvent the original, which this one does.

[DepecheModeLove]

Wow... just Wow. I love this. HUGE Sisters fan and I do believe this is one of the best covers I have ever heard.

[wesmls]

OMG.  This is the best SOM cover I have ever had the pleasure of hearing.

[PDXCHawk]

I'ts interesting to hear such a minimal take on such a layered original.

[Gedwarren]

The sisters have done some great covers - Jolene, Emma, Gimme Gimme etc and reinvented those songs.

About time someone returned the compliment with a bit of creativity instead of the usual goth crap.

[kaptainvon]

Quite.

[kyliroth]

!!!!! Quality!

[FrightfulAccountant]

Its good...

Best of it, is this isn't a copy of a better product.

It can stand on its ound.

You don't even have to be fan of the original to like this...

One remark:

Eldritch its lyrics don't really match the sound...

Like a businessman deciding to wear skullsocks with his suit. ;)
