Wuthering Heights - China Drum

[iCobrax]

so...he's Cathy huh? :o

[L33woods]

Cool cover guys! ;)

To those asking if it's out of tune... it's not... those are the actually chords to the song! These guys have done well to arrange this in the manner they've performed it. The original song is a maze of chord changes, and timing differences!

[pakreecekennedy]

they sounds allot like green day.....which i like....so top song.

[mimmacriz]

ANGRA cover of this song is the best ever. But that is good considering it's a punk version.

[zyoeru]

I wasn't really expecting anything, but wow this is great. LOL

[btkaaa]

I can't say anything bad about this band, but they just cut all the magic from this song - luv org, can't help it

[lena220]

wish he would calm down hes singing way too fast

[BenjiStone]

@lena220 thats why its a cover version, it's supposed to be different from the original

[HystereoDeathTV]

I have this on Lp. t sounds different than what is on their CD.

[HeadInTheClouds187]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! this version rocks!!

but i love kate version...when i listen to it i dream *o*

[saviourmc]

this song was a classic riding off into the country to sum birds house! fantastic!

[drummerbecca]

Is it just me or is the sound on this really warped?

[su79nioj]

What do you mean?

[drummerbecca]

It sounds a lot faster than it does on CD, but it doesn't seem to stay in tune, like it's been recorded from an old stretched tape or something. Maybe it's just me :S

[su79nioj]

This was recorded from the original 7" single. It might be different to the CD version (though equally, might be pressed off-centre!).

[drummerbecca]

Aaaah right, that explains it. Thanks for putting this up though. Hadn't heard it for ages and I'd forgotten how good a cover it was. Need to go and dig out Goose Fair now!

[bleched]

@drummerbecca no your right

[ancientbriton1947]

Sounds fine to me; now wow, no flutter. And they did it pretty fast when they played it live.

[TheRayFrom1989]

that fuckin rocks... couldnt even get my fuckin socks off... amazin cover

[godemp]

Makes me want to make good on my threat to cover Sat In Your Lap and Leave It Open as melodic death metal.

The Dreaming is the best album ever. Better than Yello's Solid Pleasure, better than Gentle Giant's Octopus, better than Imogen Heap's Ellipse, better than Bloodbath's Resurrection Through Carnage, better than Shakespear's Sister's Hormonally Yours, better than Enya's Watermark and even better than Dissection's Storm of the Light's Bane.

Kate Bush is my heroine!

[stelamo]

cool band seen them 3 times before they split :(

[stewart2909]

I remember hearing this version on radio years ago and been looking for it ever since. Cheers!!

[KateFan]

Well it's differenty, anyway lol

[voyager479]

melodic punk

[Sarcastic07]

AWESOME BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG! I love that a guy is singing it. It isnt so screechy

[psphakattak]

my aunty is living in their old house in spain ... its wierd lol shes never met them but they sold her the house when the broke up :P

[funkistar]

This sounds different to the version of the cover i have...

[Partyboy029]

It's that good I wanna give it six...FOOKIN AWESOME CHOONAGE! 5 *****!!!!

[McGradyBrendan]

I... really don't like this.

[EmmaDelamare]

Ah memories of dancing round like a drunk monkey....:)

[faireset]

wow

5* and direct in my fav !!

[atreyufan86]

feliz navidad prospero' ano' y felicidad

[SteveAmplifire]

Fucking brilliant - thought so when I first heard it on Peel and (lucky me) I have the CD - shame there isn't a live version

[Swimace]

Awesome! Long live the Drum!

[eveliomusic]

contrived.

[ginakinz]

Omg this is soooooooooooooo good

:)

im liking it :D

[ps3Nskating96]

i love this version of wuthering heights its awsome

[lizasky76]

cool

[mariamcanonigo]

cool. i like it

[whatdeyecallher]

this is really good but I don't think it's as good as kate bush's original. Something about it's too abrupt compared to hers

[rockyoursoulgiro1985]

carina, sta versione

[chedev08]

fantastic. unbelievable cover. superb.

[cndn85MB]

lol...a man singing..."Heathcliff, It's me, I'm Cathy." It just seems so wrong.

[GAYBIS]

Presto não =/

[xskylordx]

muito bom :D

mais ainda prefiro o cover do angra :D

[Markdorman]

A Great, Great Band and nice Chaps to boot. Viva China Drum!!

[kellie2377]

Best cover ever in my opionion!. I used to have a copy of this but lost it many many years ago now, so thanks for the upload :)

[PolarShocK]

EPIC

[fernandas89]

porra! amei esse cover! punk rock na veiaaaa!!!

[paoloa81]

ma chi sono sti cialtroni?lasciate in pace i calssici per favore!

[DadeErbolo]

condivido! ecco un bell'esempio di come si possono rovinare senza sensibilità anche canzoni sublimi.

[LeSymposie]

condivido pienamente

[megarodo90]

molto meglio quella degli angra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whuterin eigest by angra is beautiful!!!!!!

[kingpower439]

especially the part "let me into your window" they have covered very strange.

[dynasty555]

nice =) i love wuthering heights and i was so happy knowing there was a song, but i actually don't like the melody at all, this one rocks!

[houghmartin]

This is an awesome cover of a great song... used to love seeing China Drum play this live!

[aawsb]

nobory beats Andre Matos

[rubberdu]

I´ve never heard a good cover of this song.

Not even Kate can do it anymore.

To all you singers, please do not even attempt to think about ever singing this song.

You will fail.

[v6ghiax24v]

:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

[mcgooglykins]

Josh Pyke does a nice cover

[luizmmm]

aewsome!

great version!

[mchampag]

A worthy cover. Sheds light missing from the original. Great emotion in the voice.

[ruben12E4]

no its not,

it totaly lost that crazy mad vibe,

[jemflower]

All is said but I wish to repeat : Brilliant!

[wideheadofknowledge]

Man, this is awesome.

[zack11993]

Interesting but not a patch on Kate.

[phanattix]

This cover song brings back sooo many memories for me. Eeee!

[scumpopper]

Tell me about it! not heard this for years, amazing!

[TigerArmy1962]

I love this song. Added to my favorite

[Redsoxxplayer]

Love Kate Bush - and this is an awesome cover! Fuckin brilliant!

[blackwatchuk]

Best guitar ever at 2.44

[Keijz74]

I only know this China Drum track and I already feel like a fan!! :-) And sincerly, I like the original too!

[MeoCaroline]

I listened to this thinking that it'd be awful, so defensive when someone touches my beloved Kate Bush and esp. my fave song. But I like this version, not like the original which I still think reigns supreme, but it stands on its own as a great rock song.

[aenema22]

Check out the version by Angra

[LegoYodaX]

ha ha, brilliant!

[nwdls]

absolutely awesome. just heard it on the radio last night and was blown away.

[jaytotale]

fuckin beautiful.Cheers John peel, i'd have never known this existed if it weren't for him he was the fuckin man!!

[2bsom1]

oh dear

[RasputnaViolist]

i didn't particularly enjoy this one....

[maverickslb80]

Brilliant!

[easyworldjo]

Fond memories of seeing them play that at the Tunbridge Wells Forum. Seems a million moons ago...

[Vincestrummer]

agreed ... best version ever. Every record these blokes made was first class. yet we never hear from them.

[MegaCityPatrol]

Genius.

[tgmonster2]

this is quite obviously the best cover. Why isn't this video much more popular?

[aquatopia77]

This is on 'Can't stop these things' CD Single by china drum.... It's on ebay right now... agreed, damn good version

[drcarnage83]

Cheers for posting this! I've been waiting ages to hear it again

[hayleyliam]

It's certainly the best of the copies. Though Kate's original is the best.

[steviemp5]

this song rules anyone know where i can buy it or what the albums called

[su79nioj]

It was released on a single on the Fierce Panda label. However, certain versions of the 'Goosefair' album have it as a hidden track.

[ltjtppo]

hidden.. true very well hidden, it is about 31 mins after the last track. a classic

[fmstewart]

best version ever

[Holti4565]

Oh Gott!!!!

Das arme Lied...

[AFCWimbledonPhil]

They definitely played Rupert The Bear live more times than this. Happy days.......

[arizonauk]

This version is on a Radio 1 complilation

[vero24]

cool

[beerbarrett]

Did they play this live much?

[Twiglet182]

i saw them play this live once out of about the ten times i saw them play

[RolexTharsus]

When they did their last tours as The Drum they didn't play it - remember someone shouting for it 2nd song in & Adam politely saying "No way son, not tonight."

[rafaelbutu]

Holly Shit

[NoMoreMrNiceGuyNYC]

I have to say, not just any punk band could handle the melodic or harmonic complications of this song. I didn't like it at first, but I think it's my favorite cover now. I kind of like how it's true to the melodic and harmonic progression of the original while at the same time proceeding with complete disregard for it....

Long live Kate Bush. Long live China Drum.

[AFCWimbledonPhil]

Best cover version EVER. Apparently, Radio One promised to put this on their A-list if the lads agreed to release it as a single. And Goose Fair is my favourite album ever.

Let's hope that the rumours of a reunion are true. I saw them live about 20 times back in the day.

[clockwolf]

I saw em 10 times back in the day. Jo Whiley played it on Radio 1 as part of the '40 years of' thing. It's a great ripoff. China Drum were an awesome band and I am literally wearing their T Shirt now, although its full of holes its 13 years old lol.

[Twiglet182]

have heard they have been out for beer recently and some of there mates are pushing for a reunion gig so fingers crossed.

if they do i am so there. one of the best live bands i have ever seen.

[ilicknanas]

unfortunatly i fear you're mistaken, i very much doubt they'll reform

[FreakwaveNL]

i love this coversong, i am not sure this is the wuthering heights cover i fell inlove with but this sounds great aswell.

[Twiglet182]

saw these live a few times, amazing, this is poss the best cover song have ever heard.

the drum are amazing

[gabrob11]

looked for this for ages, love it, thanks for adding it

[ltjtppo]

a friend introduced me to the drum about 5 -6 years ago.. goosefair has to be one of the best CD's ever, great band, never got to see them live :(

[DannyKUK]

Cheers for this Su79nioi, quality song! Same as QC, heard this on the John Peel show years ago, took a while to find out who it was by, by the time I did I had to import the album Goosefair from Japan, the thinga you do when you get a song stuck in your head!!! :O)

[QualityCabbage]

Thanks for adding this, I'd looked for it a few times on YouTube.

I heard this on John Peel's show way back and always remembered it, great cover.

[su79nioj]

You're welcome :)

[dervlaann]

ultimate cover! you rocked Munich Garage 1997!

[elowil]

You rocked Kate Bush...great cover.

[blackwatchuk]

One of my all time favourites!!!
