Republica - Ready To Go (2010 Version)

[xAntipop]

Republica was a two-hit wonder - check out "Drop Dead Gorgeous". It's equally impressive.

[sa65cn1]

A great one-hit wonder song. Republica were great but they just sort of dissappeared.

[SirJyett]

Wow. Wonderful. I'm impressed!

[Lixuzstatic]

Strange and insane

[Moonspell360]

Oh Yeah !! Ready to go......

Into retirement :(

[ranjmaan]

Saffron has got a bit grittier over time. I like it! She can really sink her teeth into it now.

It's a heavy tune, guitar prominent, and deserving of a beefier vocal. Nice job, Republica!

[swingeebaby]

Kick-ass music

[eday2010]

The 1996 version is far better as far as the singing and actual music goes.

[FirelordAzula100]

That's some pretty bad singing :O I like the original better. She sings better in it. :(

[sweetrage425]

2010 Version? :O What

[RepsoI]

Re-releasing their only hit again and again...I think Republic is Ready To Go.

[ajuk1]

Ouch, digital clipping!

[Jelinek44]

....love it..('96.org. to)

[MySoundworld]

prefer this version, guitars filled right out and bass thicker than before,,, D Em A# C mint!

[Hellraiser2956]

@MySoundworld heh it's amazing how new technology can make it better. i still like original more than this

[MySoundworld]

@Hellraiser2956 yea remember the first time i heard it, it kicked and still does...

[Djarra]

@MySoundworld The guitar was in open D.

[MySoundworld]

@Djarra drop D i thought,

[MySoundworld]

@MySoundworld great chord voicings on the acoustic D with D on the bass, A7sus4 with E on the bass, Bflat 6 #11 Bflat on the bass and Cadd9 C on the bass, laaavly!!

[ca1977a]

Yay, more layers.:-)

[grzesiek321]

D, Caad9, G, Caad9:)

[Aleirbag39]

ACTUALIZADO! :) ESTA GENIAL

[Myle0805]

yeahhhhh - ilove it and who is the new version of holly?

[Psikerlord]

great guitar... not sure about the rest

[Puritystouch]

Saffron... still bloody gorgeous! Single?

[Alin82]

The original is much, much better than this remake.

[dangermouse79]

I like them both, personally. Considering how pop/rock has changed, I think it's a lot edgier. And - it's their music, let them do what they want.

[mariushathor]

some artists make money 15 years only with a song and 200 mix-versions, best off cd , top 45 songs cd,casette,dvd,vinils... and many more :))

[Greim]

BRUTAL!

[andreww1212]

They killed their own song... This sounds terrible compared to the original. Sad.

[Vancityplayboy]

@andreww1212 tell me about it, but I love the guitars but the song is honestly terrible

[D1videos]

PLEASE: Release a hardcore electro dance version of this song for European audience !!!

[steelskyblue]

too noisy and crowded and misses the zeitgeist and timeliness of the original. It is time for someone else to take this song and make it something completely new. Someone like Tori Amos, William Orbit, Toni Bennett, someone REALLY unlikely.... or we can let it go as a fond memory and leave it alone...

[TheAdultChild101]

@steelskyblue Tori Amos would be an excellent choice. I'd love to see what she could do with this song.

[taytaybunni]

Top Thrill Dragster Theme Song!

[JerseyBoy666]

I miss the days this was on MTV all the time

[JarrodCook93]

thats right, dont release a new song. Just be like vanilla ice and rerelease the same song every few years

[MobKnowledge]

@JarrodCook93 Vanilla Ice openly hates 'Ice Ice Baby', I can't see why he'd rerelease it.

[JarrodCook93]

@MobKnowledge he has in the past (cira 1998) hated it but since then hes had theoropy and is more accepting of it. hes a very happy man now

[discardmyfriends]

The guitars are a pretty cool addition but her singing isnt great here

[NightRunner417]

Personally, I love this version... the others sound kinda flat to me now because this was the first I ever heard. This one's a beast, totally a blaster. :-)

[hkdb2004]

Love the original version but must say this version kicks - as I am into guitars and those that play them this is definitely a keeper thanks for posting

[jam0to9]

Love it when musicians put some effort, thought, and creativity to make a song instead of the cookie cutter material dominating the 90's and 00's. Nice difference for a change. Good theme, hell-of-a bridge; love it, love it. Excellent transition to an interlude then brake out into the driving guitar. Damn, this is a loaded song with a good sound. Reminds me of the 80's and 70's when groups spent the time to create music instead of copying soundtracks to sell for easy money.

[phrankus2009]

Thanks for the fresh cut ... Glad to see you are still kicking ass !

You have more talent in your pinky finger than all the jealous trolls and "never-were" haters, combined. And ... yer still hot ! Loved you then. Love you now.

=yup=

[anticannobis]

fuck....this is horrible...the us mix is a legend...stop killing your songs....

[MysteryoftheGods]

Stop killing what you had, Republica >.<!

[tvset08]

sad this blows older was better =(



[BiologicalUnit2380]

@LenaDelovely : I agree. I like the 'happy medium' of the US release; not too heavy (like this heavy metal version) and not too 'keyboardy' like the euro version. It had the right amount of guitar/keyboard mix. Just my op.

[SuperDoetinchem]

4 poeple don'y have a life

[SuperDoetinchem]

i mean don't

[TheMechwarrior007]

best version yet

[tatian08]

well i like both.. hehe

[anth4knee]

I like the original better. And I can't find a guitar lesson for it, any help?

[abrahamguitar]

@anth4knee The guitar is in dropped D tuning.

[BiologicalUnit2380]

I like the Americn release original. But this is good.

[tatian08]

@BiologicalUnit2380 they're not americans UK lol

[BiologicalUnit2380]

@tatian08 : read a bit more carefully next time. I didn't say they were 'Americans'. I said "I like the 'American' release version of this song. The European release was more keyboad/synth club oriented, while the US (or 'American' in other words) release was more heavy guitar oriented. Bands do this to maximize sales in specific parts of the globe which may have varying preferences.

[stuartshame]

@BiologicalUnit2380 Here, here. The "US Mix" is better than the European/Original release version (commonly known as "The Pop Mix"). It has grittier guitars and harder beats. This third recyled version is a bit lame though and I don't even think that different to the original OR US mixes so really a bit pointless. Come on, Republica. New material please!

[JRaskFilmFanatic]

AWSOME!!! This is my Absolute - Number 1 - Most Favoritest Song Ever

[supersniperuk]

i just whana bang saffron give her crack screaming on the roof top lol

[MadMadamJess]

I adore this version! It's noisier! Just my taste!

xoxoxo -jess

[greycell]

It's not really the third time... there were just the two mixes back when they were new. The original mix wouldn't have gone over well in North America where we apparently got over our love affair with Depeche Mode and all synth music since is associated with clubs for gay people and/or goths. Much to my chagrin.

[mimimamumo]

I love the original version, but this is very good!

[evpblack]

web de un periodico!

[Funkster228]

This is the soundtrack to my childhood. I like the little kick they gave it here it's actually pretty decent to listen to (I'm loving the guitars) but the original will always be the best for me :)

[johanluzi]

Fuck ya! I just came! Love you Republica!!!!!!

[VernianProcess]

I'd much rather hear something "new" by Republica.

[cnocnacille76]

Beady eye dont seem so sad now...

[camhottylover]

A dead horse and some flogging spring to mind.

This is the THIRD time they've released this single...

[Segarr]

@camhottylover

To be fair, it's a truly great single. I mean GREAT as in many many many fantastic bands write and play for decades and never accomplish that ONE song that becomes ubiquitous with a movement or with a period in time the way this song is. Republica probably wasn't a great band (Especially in the context of the 90's alternative which was immense) but they struck lightening in a bottle and they deserve the credit for doing so.

[maineguitarhero]

@camhottylover right? funny thing is is that this song doesn't get old. i heard some younger kids listening to it. i remember sitting in front of my 34 foot cabinet sized TV(lul oldschool tvs ftw) watchin MTV and seeing the video to it for the 1st time and wanting to kiss that chick. ahh i miss the 90s

[marn06]

@camhottylover, act, it might be 4th lol

[TheAdultChild101]

@camhottylover It's actually the sixth, but I wholeheartedly agree with you.

[robstrout]

@camhottylover ... and it still rocks!

[necramoniumdotc0m]

@camhottylover If its a hit, follow the rules of the music industry, MILK EVERY DIME OUT OF IT!

[alexestrada77]

Brings back a lot of memories!!! :)

[pasquadrien]

Oh !!! I love !

[imoonrich]

Suenan muy bien todas las versiones de "Ready to go" y ahora voy a comprar ésta por iTunes. - "I´m ready to buy".
