didn't know this was a cover, the cure? never heard of thm i alwas thought this was a oleander original i love it anyhow i don't care about if it's a cover or not, this song kicks ass in my book
I agree with ReturnOfDagreenFlash...this is one of the worst covers I've ever heard. Right up there with Pussycat dolls doing tainted love. They need to leave the real singing to real musicians. oh yeah and i don't listen to fallout boy either.
I thought it started out alright; the riffs backing the first verse were well arranged. After that, it crashed and burned. I think the part of the song that makes the entire thing completely unbearable is the "boy-ee-oy-ee-oy-ee-oy" part that he does. Horrendous.
the cure isnt my favorite band, by a long shot, but this is a travesty. I could do a better job with my 30 wt Marshall, my les paul and a keyboard than these losers.
Likes another poster said. DONT TRY TO COVER BANDS LIKE THIS. JUST DONT.
jesus - this is beyond words. I imagine that Green Day would cover like this - overdriven power chords and adding absolutely to the original. Nice equipment guys, now be creative with it.
I love Hell is for heroes, but hate their cover of this song. Yet I love this cover and like Thomas flowers voice. I can't stand Robert Smith's voice but The cure have written some good songs.
Boy's Don't Cry is one of the first songs I ever remember hearing and for that, I am truly lucky. I don't mind this cover but it's far inferior. It's weird coz it's more rocky, but there's less balls at the same time. A cover of this song worth checking out that is very different in style is Hell is for Heroes' cover which was apparently approved by Robert Smith himself!
bad move Universal, to have noobs try to cover a near and dear song from one of the "icons" of our 80s generation. The UK flash drive move was a good decision, this...bad. These guys might be good, but their image is going to be dead before it's born. Take this one down, I say. IMHO
the one who thinks this is better than the original its an asshole, the cure is one of the best bands ever they know how to do music, real music, no like these bands. Garbage!!!
I hate faggots who cover songs already made, no originality, there faggy bands, and dont call me a bastard for saying this coz I think it ruins the original, NEVER COPY SONGS ASS CLOWNS COZ IT AINT SO ORIGINAL
Viva youtube for bringing people like you to comment about this song originally being the Cure's which I agree is better. For the "youngsters" one person commented on have now surely learned something and if they are true to music have checked out the Cure's version. So in a way a crappy remake led to other kids checking out the Cure. No harm quits ya bitchin'
id say that was a respectable cover. when someone covers a song they should do it in their own style like these guys did, they shouldn't try and make it the same as the original cause then whats the point.
I ve known this version for a long time and like it quite as much as i like the original. it's like 7 years old now and i think oleander didnt really sell any other song since.. Sad for them..
AWFUL
