  • love him so

  • awesome!

  • Great song.. Great performance. Typical incompetent British TV directing. the TV producer obviously had NO idea what the band where about. (oh darlings... focus on the guitarists... during the keyboard solo.. )

    PAH !

  • Bad-ass tune, baby!!

  • Blixa solo YES!!

  • the arctic monkeys arent the first band to cover/remake a song, why does every "red right hand" video have idiots commenting/arguing about the cover/original... cant you just enjoy the music...

  • Arctics took a great song and TRIED to make it their own. You cannot do that to somebody elses song in my eyes. By all means respect them and cover it, but to try and make it your own is incredibly disrespectful.

  • @bigdunk9 hahaha, one of the most stupid comments i think i have seen on a youtube video ever. Didn't realise you were the authority on covering other artists work. Haha...

  • @lacalsta18 Did I say I was? If a group of washed up indie wankers took one of your favourite songs and tried to turn it into their own song would you be happy?

  • @bigdunk9 I think they have every right to do it, presumably if they released it into public domain then they had the original bands permission so dont see why they shouldnt. I actually prefer the Cave version, but they made a good crack at making it their own and who's to stop them? They did a cover in their own style. I think they made something relevant to todays music fans out of a classic and if people get turned onto Cave by that then all the better. They can discover some great music :)

  • @lacalsta18 Fair enough, that's your opinion. And I am not going to totally belittle it like you did mine :)

  • Saw the Bad Seeds at the first Big Day Out in Melb Aus. At the 3:48 mark 2 bolts of lightning hammered down at 45 deg behind the stage on either side that even shook Blixa! Right at the Orgasm of the song! Phuk n heck it was God was in attendance. Utterly Sensational Shtuff

  • How on earth could you think that the arctic monkey's version is even in the same league? Are you absolutely tone death?

    Even if the little kiddy indie band tried a thousand times, they would never come close to even a notes worth of what this song commands.

    Nick Cave is a unique songwriter and can't be reached.

    End of.

  • um, no

  • music is not about who makes the better version.

  • wtf xD

  • Yeah right!

    Monkeys version is like you would throw record player playing the original version in the washing maschine!

  • Wicked backdrop that year : )

  • You ain't got no money? He'll get you some!

  • He's a guru

  • He's a GOD, He's A Man.

  • Thanks for the post. Brilliant!

  • so cool!!!

  • I was there in all my muddy suited glory.

  • Simply awsome..
