The Hoosiers - Lonely Boy (Andrew Gold cover)

[carngowla]

this 100% crap

[BluntVeritas]

I'm a Hoosiers fan, but what were they thinking of with THIS?

[dirkbogarde44]

@BluntVeritas It's a decent cover. Stfu stupid.

[mikey1829]

Jesus,The BUTCHERED this song to the bone<<<<<

[ilicklabia69]

lol..terrible

[dirkbogarde44]

@ilicklabia69 Ere...no it's not.

[JamieTroy7]

Sounded great when I was in the audience stone drunk on grape Kool Ade and grain alcohol, with Maureen sitting in my lap! It's one of those "had to be there" experiences in order to really enjoy it to the fullest.

livefortoday17,

You are smokin way too much grass bro!! This is the worst attempt at a remake I have ever heard!! The reason it sounds so much different is because these cats couldn't light a match for the original studio band that recorded this track. These guys are NOT triple scale players...

[brahms909]

really good attempt guys but in alot of cases the origional is better because so many people are used to listening to it :/ i do prefer the origional .. but this is live dont forget

[chromealien]

he picked up that les paul it was cranked up ready i thought he was going to do that great guitar solo as per original but..he shit out ..shame bout that ..maybe that solo in the original is what makes the original so great of a song

[RdWrior]

elevator musicians.

[Linz748916]

Embarrassingly awful!!!!!!!!!!

[xbreakasmile]

I love this song and them <3

[heli0tr0pe]

Great drum sound!

(Um...not.)

[livefortoday17]

I like this version better than the original because the Hoosiers didn't actually write those whiny, selfish lyrics :P

Andrew Gold should, however, get a pat on the back for such beautiful music.

[theindiefanclub]

it is a bit sad to comment on this if you really don't like it.i like this and the original.

[BlueBird01567]

if you all hate it so much then listen to the origonal instead of havin a go about this!! it's pointless.... we can't all like the same music

[bexsta8]

This version is amazing, what is everyone on about??

Personally, I think I like it a bit more than the original...

[Invisiblemonkey666]

Did you guys search this up just to say nasty things about it? XD

I like it. Have it on my iPod :)

[sweetsaxynote]

Horrid! They killed it...he's lonely cause he can't sing....give me back Andrew Gold!

[BlueBird01567]

go listen to Andrew Gold then!! nobody's forcing you to listen to it.....

[Rewww4]

totally with you on that one , . . . . . Gold did it waaaay better

[tcn23]

dreadful.

[romansmk]

they should be shot for this!

[claaso]

jesus. this is plain and simple horrible.

[arkolt2000]

oh my god - this is such a shit version!

[xxwanting]

Not one of their best...

[CoraFisher]

the breathing over the camera is annoying

[charleymusic]

I had to sing this song for my show.

And well, we amatuers did it better.

[mackemlad888]

This is absolute shite. An absolute disgrace to bastardise a truly classic tune. I suppose Andrew Gold's despair & sadness at what they have done to his work is tempered somewhat by the royalties he receives each time they butcher this song.

[munchodecruncho]

I totally agree this is nothing comapared to the original! when i saw the link, i thought, "oh please no!"

[lozzylor]

awesome:) i remember them doing it in newcastle last year.

cant wait to see them on this years tour. will have to attempt to go to at least three shows again haha

i miss them too much:(:(

[ImperialAerosolKid]

OMG this is ridiculous. Complete and utter shite. This song is so cleverly written; the piano, drums, bass and guitar interacting in such a brilliant way. These kids (what is this, some drunken school band?) have not listened to it properly. Either that or they're just incompetent musicians. They have managed to fuck up one of the best songs in music history, just left out the hard bits and replaced them with something banal. Go 'n say sorry to Mr. Gold boys!

[Jessica345Carroll]

wot the hell r u talkin about? drunken school band? listen 2 a song called worried about ray, goodbye mr a, worst case scenario or cops n robbers n you'll see there a gd n proper band n wot exctly do u no? "incompetent musicians" ? yeh it might not be as gd as the origonal but it's gd n did they say there tryin 2 do a better version?

[pinkirnbru]

this version is an insult to the andrew gold one!!!!

[sideshowlol]

I respect that he likes the song. Pity his version sucks.

[xxwanting]

video-wise, irwin is fantastic.

music-wise...

i'm a hoosier fan, but i do listen to oldies and i'm sorry to say that Andrew Gold can't be touched on this song :(

[apakotur]

oooohh, i die if i watch him, love him, so sexy so perfect.

[irwinsparkesiffit]

and like hydroxidsiano said hes so good witout his gutair hes soooo expretionate with his hands :-D

[irwinsparkesiffit]

ARRRRRRRRRRRRR Amzing I Need IRWIN !!!!!!

Hes Gajuss !!!!!!

:-D

xxxxxx thanks for posting this youv made my life almost complete !!!!! x

[brfc90]

this is shite!

[Sashphoenix]

I agree - they have totally shat all over a great song, and I see that most people agree!

[brfc90]

thanks mate i could,nt believe what i was hereing your right they have shat from a bloody great hight!!!!!!

[bhamboy05]

sounds very amaturish, like someone who's had a few pints singing it on the karaokee in the local pub.

origional best by far.

[mikewp]

agreed, terrible cover

[ThatHoosiersFan]

love you!! you so AMAZING!

[hydroxidesiano]

irwin looks so nice without a guitar ;]

[wishdawn2]

o.O

gosh that had no soul to the words.

at least the bassist can play.

[smokinscott]

Damn straight. This is poo!

[ShockDoc]

A rather amateurish cover version. Sounds like they just copied the simplest parts and faked the rest.

[TheGodParticle]

I'm not just saying this because i think the hoosiers are fantastic mate but i have a feeling they will still be on the music scene in twenty years time...watch this space people

[denton908]

I love this song so much. It was awesome when they performed it live. Irwin did a freaking handstand on stage! I love the Hoosiers so much.

[Soulquarium]

God I love this song...back when music kicked was amazing. Good...but nobody can even touch Andrew Gold on this one.

[nessie643]

totally agree.
