Awesome. I wernt even born when these were first about but i cant get enough of them. seen them in liverpool olympia the other night and they blew me away. we need more bands like these lads around today!
Hey Haters-- STOP. The voice is still great. This is a great example of sounding good in 2001. Search for more recent music. Mac is sounding better than ever!!!
Ahhhh....pours like honey. Ian intones a baritone Billy Idol at around 3:00. Nice. Bono, the Gallagher Bros., Thom Yorke, and Chris what's his name*...pay heed to the masters: Ian McCulloch and E&TB. Yep - Echo never received the recognition it deserved (as so many others, too) - but maybe for the better - fame would have wrecked the genius (*PS - I actually like Coldplay. I also like the Doors and Ian has paid mucho nods & tribute to Jim Morrison - we all stand on the shoulders of giants.
Ian and Will. WOW! Looking forward to EATB at SXSW in Austin, TX. next week. God, they are amazing. No wonder SPIN has them headlining their invitation-only gig. These guys fire on all 12 cylinders. Nice nod to Dire Straights.
His voice is a little "throaty", but it's still a kickin' version. The original still reigns supreme. Does anyone have a copy of it? I can't find it on this site.
Somebody else who fears my fear. The last couple of times I've seen them live (2007/08), McCulloch has adopted the swaggering "f**k you increasingly sparse audience" of a Gallagher.
Comments please from people over 40 who are from the Uk pref the North of England, even better Liverpool. Echo were an insperation and this tune proves it. Critics? Philastines ffs..............
What a horrible rendition! I remember the first time I heard this song -- listening to KROQ on a hot L.A. summer night, barely awake, then shot up out of bed, mesmerized by the hypnotic rhythm incredible song. I am seen Echo in recent years and Ian does a better job than he does here, but man did he ruin this song.
whoever you are dr.cheese...i love you almost as much as i love mac......thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!! for all of these awesome videos..you are the shit!!! bravo!
Great song! Robert Smith is fabulous and is nothing whatsoever like Bunnymen Mac! Listen to Coldplay he is so influenced by Ian McCulloch as are The Verve etc, not a patch on such a brilliant band Bunnymen of the 80's and beyond!!
Ian McCulloch had a great voice in the 80's but now it is ruined with heavy smoking and he is very full of himself ie best band in the world! What planet is he on??
i like this version , his voice sonds a bit smokey but i dig it

the VOICE was one of the best male singers of the that decade. like joni mitchell's im afraid that famous voice is now history.

Loved the original, this is OK. Organ a nice touch, makes them even more Doors-y. And Ian's turning into a Gallagher I fear.

Yay! Hello fellow KROQ listener! Yeah, it's hard to reproduce the original sound. But, ruin it? I dunno, I guess I need to hear the original again.
