Twang

[tearthesignsdown]

What a cover by The Twang

[byrider08]

great song!

[ThePusscat22]

as we rode on the 10 back to quinton again...fucking wicked lyrics...the number 3 was my bus of choice cause the 10 only dropped ya opposite johns fish bar..happy days.

[boroblf]

Excellent cover by a superb band. Saw them Live a few months ago they were top class.

[blowbubblesnotbombs]

come on guys the tune isn't wronged....jus a shit awful cover!

[droyer78]

terrible version.

[mattwill101]

it hasn't bin ruined at all its a top cover so suck a fat one

[IlVadalino]

One of the greatest track ruined by the worst cover ever done. . .

[Patriotgamez]

On the contrary. It's evident The Twang's cover version is better than the original. Bran Van did an ok job with the original though.

[allenst]

just a bunch of punk asses doin a song no justice. the fucking main turd is just screaming the pyrics -- and you like this???

[ThePusscat22]

@allenst  prick

[dekaband]

Garbage! Why did you have to ruin this song?

[Carter818]

Right, how was this ruined? By them putting they're own stamp on it? Ot by them being musically perfect and you having a grudge?

Brummies or not they are superb live and if anything did the one hit wonders a favour by covering this.

[laganas2008]

Brummies or not? Mate, we Birmingham people aren't aliens, nor are we a funny breed of people that are different in some way to every other person on the third rock from the Sun. We're normal, just like everyone else....seriously...you can have a conversation with me...I'm not gonna melt or explode due to being a defective organism, honestly.

[sideburnz77]

this is there type of song its them, they done the song proud,

[keeblin]

Jesus this is shit. unbelievable song that gets fucked by these amateurs

[Macfire999]

45k views can't be wrong! Can it. If you know The Twang this cover makes complete sense!!!!

[flogger97]

i agree man...good cover from a really great down to earth band....

[89cheapmonday]

birmingham accent is so weird, was in manchester city centre and one asked me for some "choinge" (change), silly brums need to stay in the midlands.

[jaseywasey49]

Yeah because the Manc accent is totally legible isn't it, that said i remember once ~Man Utd fans chanting to Birmingham fans once "If you can't proper shut ur mouth" which i must admit made me laugh.

[ThePusscat22]

@89cheapmonday prick

[RizoSaysAha]

@pedrofaba Lol just because you get all the chavs over there dosen't mean I would bother with your country. You only get working class people over there. I like that you assume I give a shit about football, start watcing a real sport like boxing. Also what's wrong with people from the middle east? there's hardly any where I live in Surrey, but there's nothing wrong with unless you're being an ignorant twat.

[kwaldog]

@pedrofaba and here you are listening to all our bands .... like the rest of your greasy mate's ... why ? because your music is shit ... thats why .. you may have won the world cup but where were you in the world wars .?.. bunch of pussys

[fenthedog]

@pedrofaba No! your wrong about Columbas being first at "discovering" America! He followed maps which had already been made by tukish and greek sailors! Not to mention Erik the red! There was a Viking colony in canada long before the Spanish were even making ocan going ships!

[pedrofaba]

@fenthedog- go get a bone and crawl back to your dog house,dont be mad if our race is way better looking that yours,MR.BEAN,ive been in manny country's around the world but never seen so manny ugly people like in england,God your girls look like dogs's and even the guy'which im not gay by the way' they all look like mr.bean,what and ugly race.no wonder you brits are always piss off.lol

[catcherinthesky1]

@pedrofaba sounds to me like you got into a fight with an englishman, got the shit kicked out of you like the spanish always do, and are holding a grude. get over it pussy, the spanish are a nice bunch of people, but the country is a barren shit hole, only the coast is good , and if it wasnt for the english going over there , gettin pissed and smashing the place up you wouldnt have any tourism at all. plus spanish women all have moustaches :p

[pedrofaba]

@catcherinthesky1 -never got my ass kick by a brit,2nd spain is beautiful every where,i guess you never been in -madrid-barcelona-sevilla-mala­ga-cordoba-coruna-bilbao-just to name a few,and sorry if are girls have moustsches then why you guys go every summer to pick up our woman,and you want to talk about ugly,i was in london for 9 days and not one and i mean not one pretty girl i saw there,talking about ugly chicks with fuck up teeth,no wonder you brits are always piss of.

[catcherinthesky1]

@pedrofaba i was joing really, spain is rather pleasant, at least its urban areas are, but the countryside is cracked, dusty , full of dry weeds and dead trees, certainly not beautiful. and i was merely using the age of stereotype of spanish women having taches, when i go there i havent seen anyone like that, not even the men. you on the other hand are using sterotypes of british people from the post war years that are now utterly antiquated,

[catcherinthesky1]

@catcherinthesky1 if you saw nothing but ugly women in london, then where the fuck were you? london is home to some of the most beautiful people anywhere, not just british people , people of all colours and creeds. Ive checked your page, you like PETE and the stranglers, and lots of other brit music, plus you go on about not caring about nationality and colour .it seems to me pedro that you came on here for a racist rant, dont worry we all do it lol

[pedrofaba]

@catcherinthesky1 -ok,let's just forget what happend no hard feelings,sorry if i say some bad things also.peace

[catcherinthesky1]

@pedrofaba paz y amor hermano:)

[pedrofaba]

@ThePusscat22 -you can't even understand what da fuck is he saying-speak english-pure garbage.

[bassthing26]

Oh dear. Moving on.

[wearetheegg]

desnt work

[Kookoooo1]

[robpiercewrexham]

i was at this 1,ace gig!

[wwfcbozz]

Oh dear...

the good band from Birmingham were right when they said this is the worst thing ever.

The Twang are fucking shite.

[ThePusscat22]

@wwfcbozz prick

[binstig]

most random cover ever? the twang just killed bran van 3000 :'( not like i cared...

HELLO!

[Macfire999]

Hope they sing this on Thursday at The Academy in Manchester

[bondi007]

Seeing these on Thursday at the Academy, will be sick!

[Lonewolf2581]

Love this song, and this is a well decent cover. <3 The Twang as well.

Thanks for posting this.

[apedescent]

good cover, nice vibe

[ckenny89]

snortin heroin for 20 years lmaoooo

[b0lly]

they got the music spot on but i don't think the manc vocals really suit the american slang. great effort though.

[redbette]

they are brummies

[KnottyAVFC]

Manc vocals ??? Ha Ha , they are from Birmingham!

[betweentwoislands]

And Bran Van's Canadian..

[poopiker]

from birmingham you tosser.. get ya facts right before ya start spoutin ya mouth

[Frugaluga]

Wow Amazing that night i was too pissed to remember this clearly sobered up for james:) Amazing tune Where could i get the single from?:S

[rogueuf]

could`nt have had a better band do a tribuite

[Swett3914]

Snorting heroin.... have alook at yourself dickhead... You dont snort heroin, you either inject or smoke it!

[KG902]

It is also snortable

[shovey1]

to fully apreciate a cover u have to first like the song n second, like the band thats doin it. well done the twang!

[NikeMaki]

who the fuck are you, king know it all?

[shovey1]

oh, so u know me do u, twat!

[vickbillam4life]

can i just say what a tune!! good cover twang, class yet again!!

[lsdarcy]

This song should be dedicated to the one and only

Shane MacGowan who destroyed his talent by sitting in a pub and snorting heroin for 20 years.

[thewhitenoiseproject]

wow, thats not a bad effort

[JoeDrawb]

quality

[Mabtastic]

I'm guessing a certain someone likes to take these comments/opinons about the twang personally lol .....

[gazmondcantona7]

Why is it on every fucking video of cover songs, there's a million fucking geniuses leaving comments like "this is shit, the original is much better..."

Of course it is. I can't think of one song that was covered and ended up eing better than the original. But it doesn't mean you can't enjoy the cover version too. And this one is hardly different to the original, and certainly not bad enough for people to be offended and feel they have to imform the world "The original is better.." Dicks.

[maxheadroom1987]

poor cover, original is better. oh and all you fuckers that wanna thumb me down go nuts, i dont give a crap, THE TWANG ARE SHIT

[MancunianMagic1]

admitted the original is a classic but when all the artists were asked to do covers for that Radio anniversary album the TWANG picked a fuckin belter & done it justice.....check some of the others

[Mabtastic]

Totally ruined this song for me

Dont get me wrong i like thier other stuff just this song should only be left to Bran Van 3000

[maxheadroom1987]

@ Mabtastic

totally agree mate

[gazmondcantona7]

"Ruined the song for you"?? What? As if you can no longer hear the original because someone did a cover you don't like. Over reaction maybe?

[00mitchelo]

nele a year ago i saw these live and i still cant forget how fucking good it was.....will always be the best gig of my life! cant wait for the new twang stuff!!!

[dilaniw]

I like the original better, but this version's not bad either

[NeonTwang]

Class band, the cover a million times beter than the original. New album will be special

[donnamarie2408]

A million times better than the original. Cant wait for their new stuff

[cozens08]

better then the orignal version great band...seen them last yr in middlesbrough got my ticket signed by the band

[jayteecork]

What the fuck?

That Brummie accent singing a song about Los Angeles.

AWFUL.

[donnamarie2408]

wots wrong with the Brummie accent!!

[jayteecork]

It does not suit a song called "Drinking in L.A"

AT ALL!

[metroidprime4]

its not -THAT- bad.

[ShadowPsychosRox]

the original was class but this is just a million times better fuck yea

[belfastmatt]

TOP Brummie Boys.....great version Great live band.

[pared1986]

OMG!!!

So many years from the release of the original tune...that now exists a band that plays the cover!!!..

[Nickspeak]

EEK! Not a great cover, it just doesn't work. The original has it all over this.  The band is obviously talented, the singer comes off as a tool on this though.

[jaseywasey49]

I do like The Twang and like this version. i also like the original. though i respect people feel passionate enough about the original to critise it, i respect their opinion but disagree.

[br34th3]

way to absolutely demolish a great song. W1n!!!

[PiinkChiikz]

stanleyfrankmusial and Superteq , this song is sung amazingly by an exelent band. They did a great job!!

[fatbhoyed]

absoulte klass lads legends x

[stanleyfrankmusial]

Terrible version. Please, if you're going to cover songs, do a good job.

[pompeyboinick]

great song from the swedes

great song from the brummies

[nedsparkz]

best song ever, ruined :(

[TRWolf]

I agree, it's not a very good cover at all! But cos I think this, I'll get a load of negative numbers by this comment too, you watch, lol.

[alan3565]

TOP LADS! GREAT VERSION

[Superteq]

Ughhh.

[normanuk06]

great version

[tyce007]

up the vale!!!!!!!!!

[pearlsgirl87]

oh my god sorry but they killed it

[Mavarik]

way to go ruin a classic

[m0linas]

I agree.....bran van version is waaaaaaaaay better. This just sucks....

[Mavarik]

haha i thought i was gonna get slated for that comment

[jaseywasey49]

Really, this song is not a classic.

[Mavarik]

reallyy....stfu yes it is u dick, why would some 1 cover it if it wasnt dick

[jaseywasey49]

Yeah to be honest my comments were pedantic and i was actually going to come on a and apologise. I actually like the song, one of my favourite one hit wonders. I do really like The Twang so i guess i overreacted.

[Mavarik]

me 2 sorry

[MrUnknown07]

i was there man, it was like a rock n roll rave!!! MINT AS FUCK!!!!!

[jbletsky]

this is wack

[gravyface83]

Brummy mong.

Pretending to be North West and sounding ten years out of date.

total rubbish

One love

[jaseywasey49]

Every band that comes out people always say their not the same as the Roses oh there only copying. Ok i love the Roses they made my favourite album ever, Ian Brown is a legend. But The Twang are a decent new band, they have been influenced by the Madchester scene, i know they will never have the impact the Roses did no band will. There is no reason to slaughter them tho and as for the Brummy Mong comment what is that all about.

[thurst44]

Well, you know, the "ten years" may have something to do with this being a fairly faithful cover of a bran van 3000 song that is...you guessed it...ten years old

Personally, I think it's not bad...

[Mavarik]

high five

[myoldman]

Your a fucking cock mate, he is clearly singing with his brummie accent and isnt trying to be north west at all, why would he wanna be?

Great version by a Great band, roll on album 2!

[craigo1874]

quality tune!!

[sunovhud]

as a fan of all sounds of good quality the thwang are the best thing since the stone roses go on !!

[nigecruzer]

[Mavarik]

[johnissick]

[faridnares]

[dannyboy221186]

[TribalWar]

Was ok till he started singing, and i can her some digital beginning aprt of the originals womens voice other the beginning of the chorus cos he is weak. Plus savage digital delay. I will make sure not to ever catch the The Twang

[dickman123456]

[Ruthie076]

they've slughtered this song, the original is fantastic..

[aaindahouse]

i agree wiv u m8

[Jackco17]

I was there and I can honestly say that this band are quality live! Class song done justice by the twang.

[GunnerGraham]

to all you critics:could you do better?no? then FUCK OFF.This band is entertaining people,if you don't like it,again:FUCK OFF.

[WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

This is a gr8 cover of a gr8 song. It's amazin live

[aaindahouse]

ure SOOOOOOOOOO wrong let me reword u...

This is a terrible cover of an AMAZIN song. its even worse live

[WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

You're right - it is an AMAZIN song. it's not very good when you here it on the radio i must say but I think it's really majik live.

If u had to choose a song for them to cover from 1998, wat wud u pick?

[rustyu]

Bran Van 3000's is much better I have to say.

[aaindahouse]

i sooo agree wiv u

[losthobit]

Not keen on this version the original was too good. Pete Doherty would have pulled it off.

[Kester2020]

Shit. A bad version of a song that isn't theirs. Crapola.

[burkeseng]

could you do better then????

Lots of people would agree that The Twang are awesome!!!
