Cool. I didn't know that about Elvis connection. We cover this song in my band. I'm gonna tell the other guys in my band about the Elvis thing.
I'm usually the bassist, but I play 12-string Rickenbacher on this and do the lead vocals. One thing I notice about them live, is that the lead singer plays the bass with his index finger only, which is a big - poor form no-no. My bass guitar instructor would have my head if I tried to play like this, but I guess it works for him....
incredible wow the original is better OF Course i love the male lead singer voice i love it.but sia is a great FEMALE Voice but yep original is great more better i am happy to hear her version though i am not a hater church is still all that always will be
@Nigelxman to member here name of Nigelxman, BMW Red Law Student, comment in her spanish and her english i make out perfectly. i see your just a hater lmfao and happy new year everyone! Love this song.....
AND BMW REDHEAD LAW STUDENT,heather here, your gorgeous.and i agree 100 percent tu sabe mamita. cuidate ahora.

This song always reminds me of surfin' Banzai Pipeline, Backdoor and Sunset on the North Shore of Hawai'i back in 1989-90! Fucking epic!! Love the footage here.
I remeber when this song came out. West coast, last year in high school, summer was just around the corner and 80s music playing while a bunch of seniors thought they were cool drinking Bartles and James. Wow.

its a shitty cover you idiot fucks....money makes the world go round. how would you pay the bills? blowjobs only pay so much you know, well i suppose you soon will know
About 87 or 88, a mate of mine, Joe, was looking to form a studio sort of a band with himself, Koppes, Ploog and Grossman from Divinyls and Hoodoos. Joe asked me to front the band but I freaked out at the prospect of performing in a band with some of the best musos in Oz, and turned it down. Joe ended up going ahead with Damien Lovelock. Kinda wish I had done it now. Would have been the most brilliant fun. Imagine recording with people of this calibre?
OIY!!!!Skrasson, dude, shut the fuck up about the cure, just because they do not sound exactly like the cure, they have their own style OK, so quit with shit you know fuck all about, comment me later when your balls have dropped and learn the meaning of respect, fool!!!
But Disintegration came out more than a year after Starfish.
Don't get me wrong, I think Disintegration is one of the greatest albums of all time. Actually, song for song, it's probably more solid than Starfish, but Milky Way did come first first.
Anyway, The Church's Heyday and Priest=Aura are, at least IMHO, better than anything the Cure ever released.
One of the coolest, moodiest, most hypnotic melodies with a hook for the ages... Damn, I still tweak over this song! There was a early AM DJ "your old pal Brian!"on an Alt. radio station when this came out. At the same time every morning he played this tune as I was driving to work at like six or so. Finally someone calls in & asks him about this. He said flat out he just loved the song and would keep playing till the station made him stop!
I listen to this song twice a day, going to and leaving work, on permanent rotation in my auto. I got goosebumps just knowing I'll hear it again in a couple of hours.
I listen to this song at least twice a day, going to and from work, on permanent rotation in my car. I never get tired of it. Just the thought of hearing it again in a few hours gave me goose bumps...
Now most decent or "true" Metal is underground and new "Alternative" bands are mainstream and mostly fill the air space of most Contemporary Rock stations in the U.S. Quite the opposite of Archer, my musical preference does not include music of the Metal genre for the most part, but some of the few Metal bands I do listen to are among my favorites as are some of their songs. It doesn't matter what kind of genre an individual prefers.
Yes! They are touring in the US this June and early July. Just google "the Church band" and their official site should pop up. It has a list of all the dates. It's supposed to be full electric too. :-)
You must be talking about the good old days of MTV showcasing alternative bands on the show 120 Minutes. That was back in a time when Alternative music had somewhat of an independent cutting edge and underground appeal. Later with the outbreak of grunge came its mediocre derivative, "Alternative Nation." It's funny how the tables have turned. Back then a lot of Metal was mainstream and the genre was at the height of its popularity.
This came out during a really weird period of my life and just blew me away! It still does... I would LOVE to see them live if they still tour the States! This song loses nothing with time, man, imagine how it feels to write something like this and put it out there for the ages...
Great song! Pity about the sound block on the recorded Youtube version! I think they're a band the world should be able to hear with such a great song!
O My God! I loved this song so much when was in school :-))))))))) think it was years 1988-1989! Unfortunately this talented band not popular in Russia.
they are playin next week on sunny coast if you live close?ive been to 4 of thier concerts an cant wait for 5th yaaaaay BACK FROM THE OLD SCHOOL DEAD....
What legends. What a classic and timeless song, it is really an anthem. These blokes should have been no 1 hits. See them on their next tour. ghostbuster
