The Living End - Tainted Love [live on Recovery]

[ElKilla1993]

Why's all the cool shit from some land connected to england or scandinavia, why's there no good shit from czech, culture is avoiding this land

[TheWatchedBand]

Awesome.Oz Rock 4TW.Big influence for us

[chrispine71]

THEY FUCKED UP AXING THIS SHOW!!!!!

[MrPaulwaters]

best drummer they had

[JilValentine1]

This is really awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that version! Great!

Never heard about this boys

[donvonton]

i wish travis still palyed in the living end

[MrPaulwaters]

@donvonton i agree, one of oz's best drummers in the 90's. by far best drummer T.L.E ever had. Ive read that he's lifestyle was why they sacked him :-(. Thats rocknroll

[DarkGuitarKid]

They got famous thanks to Green Day.

so don't hate on green day

[krv2000]

did you know that Benji madden was inspired by Chris he said so at the good Charlotte concert at rod laver

[Timmahhh86]

You can tell he just cant wait to get cracking into that solo.

[TheArrggghh]

Mark my words. This performace will go down in history as one of the best of our generation.

[bellaquavita]

over-rated. check out the gun club, the cramps, stray cats et al for real talent.

[ellimem]

@bellaquavita I love the Gun Club as much as the next guy, but for you to say the Living End is overrated shows how fucking stupid you are.

[ffuullllyy]

@ellimem being called stupid by a person who feels living end are creative pleases me. how old are you anyway? 12?

[Nekroguitar]

@ffuullllyy

This band is incredibly talented,. Sure, this song is a cover, and a little dodgey because it's from their early days, but Chris' guitar playing is amazing, and the Stray Cats 'stole' most of their songs anyway, just getting old songs, then changing the lyrics and tempo etc. Though they were still a great band too.

To say that these guys, or chris isn't creative is stupid though.

[freddo2311]

@Nekroguitar you dont have a clue do you. this cover is one of the best they do. the triple j version is killer

[rondawwg420]

I think I have that drum kit!!! It was refinished in a red sparkle wrap...I'M STOKED!!

[mlmcin05]

omg Chris and scott look like little iddy biddy kids! (= the words "milk money" and "give me yours" come to mind.... perhaps not in that order....

[ktrel54]

They are one of the best out there.

[DamselDarkness]

Awesome cover. Watching this makes me miss Recovery, though...

[chum2k]

wow i remember watching this early on a sat morning about a decade ago lol man im getting old good song tho and awesome band

[OutlawLoveSong]

This clip never gets old. Classic.

[94bubbles94]

they are seiously amazing, TLE never fail

[ikomrat]

I've never heard of this band before, but I think this is the best "Tainted Love" cover!

[080Muffin080]

Unlike some other irrelevant comments, I'll say something about the music...

Great cover by them! Good early footage of an awesome band.

[Lukerz93]

@080Muffin080 Well said

[soccerholden13]

soft cell and marilyn manson both cover this song better. this version isnt even better that the original by gloria jones.

[Bobbo63]

you probably wear makeup and would know that kind of info

[soccerholden13]

nah you're the faggot for liking this shitty ass band. im just smart because I know my stuff.

[Bobbo63]

i never lashed out at your sexual preference....so as far as smart... well maybe, i ever met you, but based on previous allegations, i figure your fast to shoot off at the mouth. It shows you have no real thought process and you know how to talk a big game in cyberspace.

[dawizkid69]

WTF is that supposed 2 mean lol

[sickassguitarist]

lol ur just sum emo faggot lol marilyn manson? lmfao go slit ur wrists and listen to ur shitty ass music emo cunt

[Cobainpunk74]

@sickassguitarist

EAT SHIT AND DIE YOU SELF RIGHTEOUS BASTARD! YOU CALL YOURSELF SICK ASS GUITARIST!? YOU ARROGANT PRICK SON OF A BITCH! LEARN HOW TO SPELL AND STOP SAYING SHIT LIKE EMO!! GROW THE FUCK UP! THE WORLD DOESN'T NEED ANY MORE EGOCENTRIC ASSHOLES LIKE YOU! YOUR TELLING US TO KILL OURSELVES WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE IN NEED OF GETTING RID OF YOU FUCKING DOUCHEBAG

heh

GO LIVING END!!!!

Just got the new(est) album and it rocks!

[sickassguitarist]

SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GROW A PAIR

[sickassguitarist]

@chrisissince1985 holy fuck i can't even remember what the fuck ur bitching about, shut th fuck up u emo fag

[2icdan]

@chrisissince1985 hey dude agree - but every band sells out once they sign with a label - thats how they make money and thats how they become famous... don't liek sellouts? turn your tv and radio off. - but i do agree good charlotte are not punk anymore - but change is still good.

[soccerholden13]

you implied my sexual preferance by saying that I wear makeup, which no straight guy would do. so please, shut the fuck up.

[Bobbo63]

A smart music person would know manson wears makeup... A dumb person wants nothing more that to not want to know they're dead wrong. Lifes a bitch... don't talk shit.

[soccerholden13]

if you were so goddamn smart you wouldve been the better man and just ignored me by now and went about your business. fuck off. im genetically superior and dont have time for your horse shit.

[Bobbo63]

Horses shit horse shit right??? Then your arguing with the worlds only typing horse mr superior and you do have time, cause otherwise you wouldn't have been responding. i win based solely off the amount of neg remarks you got against you. Hows it feel to be schooled by a horse?

[Cobainpunk74]

@soccerholden13

YOU WORTHLESS FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!! TELLING OTHER PEOPLE YOU ARE SUPERIOR MAKES YOU EVEN LESS OF A MAN YOU FUCKING INGRATE! I'M GONNA' COME FIND YOU, RIP OUT YOUR INSIDES, AND DECORATE MY HOUSE WITH THEM YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!

haha. Rockabilly for life go Living End!!

[soccerholden13]

haha please. id like to see you try and rip out my insides. I would break your fucking arm the moment you tried to do something.

[SkeltonKid]

@soccerholden13 Hey asshole, some straight guys do wear makeup.

[ggallinismylord]

You are a massive piece of shit. Go suck Marylin Manson's tits you faggot.

[BlurryEyez86]

chris is such a talented musician...

[Whooligan86]

Absolutely. The man is an animal on the guitar. Had a pretty big influence on my playing style.

[drezy]

GREAT AUSSIE BAND! straight from rowville vic.. fuckin aussie legends now world stage famous..!

[Boghman22]

@drezy I heard Aussies committed genocide against...

[MrPaulwaters]

[tobanob]

[bopespot]

[stoneageman18]

[maxwellington2]

The original of this song is absolute shit but the living end make awesome

go the living end best band ever

[RikardoVeintidos]

LOVE IT =D

[dxl99]

The best cover a band has produced of a song in my opinion =)

[xBrunolix]

Wow, They sure have come a long way..

[RabbiJoe]

man bassmasa ! their actually Aussies oringinally from Melbourne

i saw them in concert 17 yrs ago wth a pub crowd of only 10 ppl

[DarthMuse]

travis owns andy i dont know why he left

[xXwhatXx098]

andy strachan is a fuckin good ass drummer dude, idk what your talkin about

Fuckin gnarly cover

TLE 4 life

[fantasyloverforever]

Hes talking about Travis having more style then Andy. theres heaps of him showing off on their dvd : FROM HERE ON IN. he throws the drum sticks around. Adny on the other hand is very up-tight the way plays the drums. im not saying that Andy is totally a bad drummer just thats the deffterence.

[fantasyloverforever]

i agree with you tottally Travis is way better drummer then Andy. And the reason he left was 2 things one : he hated the havey touring involved and 2: he dislicked the direction of the band. the band was getting more and more heavry. i agree with travis lol The Living End now sucks too main-steam. and what i said about Travis was ture by the way. it says he leaved for thoses reasons on wikipdia. also he is now in a NEW band THE CURRENCEY - i check out their music and its fantastic lol

[leatherbristlesstuds]

yeah man...can see why tarv got disillusioned with the direction they went in. but he was their best drummer, if you can see the live clips that were on the All Torn Down single, man his drumming is insane!

[fantasyloverforever]

yeah. and yeah ive seen that video - your right he was insane. hes going to be missed very much. On a tour in1997 when first joined the living end he knocked two of his teeth out by snapping his drum sticks in half. going insane live lol. listen you really need to check out his new band. they are great but haven't got a recored labble yet. they need all the help they can get

[bassmasa]

This is bloody tight, and blows any other cover out the window

All the way from London THE LIVING END = AWESOME

[benihana360]

awesome drummer

[coastalcarpetpython1]

Is this their song?

[rellster66]

Soft Cell (from the UK) originally sang this - it is a gay anthem

[argyleneverdie]

But it was actually done by Gloria Jones in 1964. The best version in my opinion. unless you count the Pussy Cat Dolls sampling it. haha. kidding.

[tappingfingers360]

abso-freakin-lutely THE best cover i have ever heard of this song.

also, quick question, i heard somewhere that soft cell covered this from another artist, gloria something. help anyone?

[c0nsarn1t]

Gloria Jones.

[tappingfingers360]

oh thanks so much for that...it was driving me mad. :)

[malk]

siiiiick drum fills

[Jwhit165]

it was only recently that i realised how good a guitarist he actually is... respect.

[Michaelbirchy]

This is so cool, I love Living end!

[footyplayer69]

bahahahaha i love them but look at the hair.... def from the 90's!

[tappingfingers360]

haha that's what i thought!

[ThePatient94]

The Living End will always be Aussie legends. <333333

[L2daO2daZ]

I don't much care for their new stuff.

I think the reason I got hooked on them was their first couple of albums, playing like a punk/psycobilly fusion.

They'll always be good, though.

[lauriehammy]

Fuck Chris Cheney is good

[downrivermom]

ne1 want to chat?

[bigmick0]

i want sexy sexytime with you

[bozomatt]

my god he is the best punk guitarist in my mind

[ZombieEaterz]

The Living End were like Gods in those days (1997-2000) They are still great now and constantly maturing, but when i was a kid they were the coolest band ever to live.

[squigglecasey]

well no matter what anyone says

the living end kicks ass

no matter what

biggest fan right here!

[hepalopala]

thank god. someone sticking up for the living end. the rock. good job

[bigfatgreek]

mann the new drummer is so much better than the old guy.

[SquierMan7]

what's the new drummers name?

[hotwire10101]

Andy Strachen (pronounced like Strak-kan)

[hotwire10101]

Was a reply to SquierMan7. How did it end up here? o.O

[muzwahproductions]

very good.. pity the you can tell that its dubbed over or somethin.. the lips aren't matching the lyrics.. round 1:07.

[JakMon777]

It's not 'dubbed over'. It's just bad video when the sound is out of synch with the audio. No offence deepee, it happens to a lot of people.

I just don't want people thinking this is some shonky lip-synched crap. The Living End don't need to lip-synch.

[DXMON1]

"the sound is out of synch with the audio" is a bit of a contradiction btw, try is out with the video :P

btw, I agree with you about it not being dubbed over.

[FallenKal]

It's not dubbed.

Chris is my favorite guitarist in the world... but if you listen to recorded versions vs live, he always plays the solos tighter cleaner and more creative than he does live. His voice is always perfect live too, which throws a lot of people off.

He's the shit.

[maeveymoose]

cool cover of tainted love

was the double bassist in paul kelly and the storm water boys?

[camfay77]

no..

[maeveymoose]

yeah actually scott owen did play double bass in the stormwater boys

[kabongavideo]

such a good interpretation of this pop classic! Check us out if you like the living end.

[dirtymartinikisses]

wow youngins then i think thats the first ive ever seen his natural hair color lol

THE LIVING END ROCKS ASS!!

[kroag]

umm, wow this is early.

[Rusty2540]

holy crap

look at the haircuts

[Lespaulspecial2]

I thought They're bassist had black hair

[mikeystrafford]

Is this the NEW STray Cats?

[joefat1010]

best mix of ska punkrock...well done guys keep it up.... :)

[ggallinismylord]

I agree except... There is noting ska about this. Best mix of rockabilly and punk besides Nekromantix.

[Deathshards]

They've changed so much.

[Lespaulspecial2]

what happened to they're bassist?

[charlessale]

He's still there. He has a shaved head.

[benderdude3110]

Still there. Their bassist just has a shaved head. I think he's going bald or something.

[miguecaru]

esta cancion es wenisima

[IISaimonII]

migue maricon!! ke aces viendo estas cosas tu??? no deverias estar escuxando a la makarena? jeje, si ke ta bien no se kien koño te a puesto un punto negativo...

[spudulike81]

Is this version on any albums? I've seen it live a buncha times. always rad

[freddo2311]

its on the all torn down single.

and its a studio recording too which makes it sweet

[Lespaulspecial2]

Where can i get the single?

[kittydeveer]

think its allright nuthin more /less

[aBeeLincoln]

it's a cool cover, but as soon as the solo kicks in it becomes fucking awesome.

[thelivinged]

the best band alive since the clash!!!

no gimmicks in their live performances...

pure music, attitude!!!

is there anybody can upload closing in live?

long live the living end...

[emoboi311]

not the best band in my opinion but i respect ur opinion...but they kick major ass...and the clash fucken rules to

[emoboi311]

not the best band in my opinion but i respect ur opinion...but they kick major ass...and the clash fucken rules to

[LittleRedRidingHood1]

The best cover I love it ♥

[MrTomDHG]

Great Band Live!!! I saw em sing this puppy at The Big Day Out a few years ago. Legendary Aussie Band!

[AshtonDLB]

I Love This Band GO THE LIVING END And Chris Looked Soo Cute When He Where Young And Now Hes SOO HOTT <3

[theoneawsomone]

grat cover! this band is fucking awsome!!!

[bl0eb3ar]

awesome

[fl34m4n]

GREAT COVER!! GJ The Living End!!!!

[92290820]

BEst cover for Tainted love...

[alexjaysfan]

Better then softcell

[geektar03]

fuck, this shit rocks.

[unclewoodstock]

This is a awesome cover, one of the best I've heard so I dont know what some ppl are talking about when they say theyve ruined it

[sami1307]

You do know Marilyn Manson didn't actually write the song? Have you heard the "Soft Cell" version?

Oh and p.s they didn't RUIN it, they simply did THEIR interpretation of it thanks very much!

[funnnnnnnnnnnnny]

Whoaahahaa, Soft Cell didnt write this song either dude!!!!

Tainted Love is composed by Ed Cobb, formerly of The Four Preps. It was originally recorded in 1964 by Gloria Jones. There..

the Soft Cell, Marilyn Manson & Living End versions are ALL covers.

[Boghman22]

marlyn manson is a bitch ass mother fucking fagot, pre-emo bull shit!!!

[purelegend1]

fuck you, marilyn manson, is artistic, and is fantastic at what he does. living end did a great version, soft cell did a great version, marilny manson did a great version, gloria jones did a great version, coil did a great version. appreciate the fact that they all bring something new to the song, rather then swear when it's not nessacary and has no meaning, when your just swearing for the hell of it the words lose their effect.

[Lespaulspecial2]

Marilyn manson sucks dude. The Living End is Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[bonger22]

i saw thi at the 98 or 99 big day out the crowd went mental when they herd the begining of thi song

[StoneThatIsLoved]

i love this song... a lot ^-^ this version kicks, the original was awesome but i also like manson's cover. it really puts that pain into it, k'know?

[Halloevklid]

Living End -----the best group))))for Hotwire10101------this style-----Rockabilly))жаль ты по русский не говориш я б тебе написал про новый стиль .....(бездарь)

[hotwire10101]

I was half asleep when I made that post. Meant "Sounds too much like"

[epiphonematt]

MArilyn Manson's version is crap. This one kicks ass, and most importantly, rocks.

[BluntDNB]

brilliant band this is a great cover

[creepyzebra]

This is good, type in "4 rabbits called frank" this is the best version!

[bizzyd]

purty good, i like the phantom rockers version better. definitely better than manson though. living end rox!

[metalicarulz]

i agree with xJuztMii

marilyn manson is betr

but this is stil prety gud

[Boghman22]

This is fucking awesome...

[Boghman22]

I'm damn right!!!!

[SandBathroom]

that was awesome

[mannloon]

I feel bad for you thinking Manson is in any way cooler than Chris Cheney or anyone in The Living End. It's your loss.

[xJuztMii]

omfg marylin manson is better with singing this song..:S

[Czecore]

hahaha best joke today!

[Genuhhh]

Ehh shame no he isn't. Go play in traffic!

[heph13]

This band is one of the best around! They write songs that make your girlfriend want to hold your hand... they are just awesome musicians who can rock out in a BIG WAY! I can't believe some fool compared these guy's to an 'early' Silverchair?!?!? What the hell are you on? Silverchair weren't even the best band around when they won battle of the bands. They were young. lucky and fit the industry broadcast.

[AeroWing]

To be fair, Silverchair came a long way and became one of the best Australian bands in history.

They're both awesome bands that are too different to be compared in such a way.

[hotwire10101]

Silverchair may have come far, but I think their new style of music that they have now is rather crap. Sounds too music like some prissy song shit.

[sickassguitarist]

it sounds too music. wtf is that supposed to mean

[AeroWing]

Sounds too music?

Do you even know what you're saying, because I sure as hell don't.

[sickassguitarist]

i no i was asking someone wtf it means!

W.T.T= what the fuck

[AeroWing]

Shit, did I reply to you? I meant to reply to the other guy. Sorry.

[MrsBenjiLeviMadden]

Wow i'm from England & i luv Australia, The guy from saw (Leigh Whannel) used to do reviews on recovery =] Lots of great people on that show.

I've just heard that their is a great new Aussie band out so i decided 2 check em out

Thnx for uploading

[Mishtadim]

this works as a cover of soft cell ....way rocks.........lol.still waiting on green day doing this

[Mishtadim]

so green day does a cover of this song also?..love to see it, never even heard of it.....unless a band covers someone elses song u can't compare it and then if the band covering rocks and makes it there own do u diss it or say well done? to me a cover band rocking and making it their own works...

[Badeofblade]

I love TLE and am alright with greenday... TLE more reminds me of early silverchair, rather than of greenday.

[Fiveinthegut]

the only reason people compare green day and living end is because they don't have the capacity to like two bands. so in their mind they figure, it's one or the other... and they go proclaim this all over youtube so they can really make a difference <---sarcasm who cares if bands are similar, they aren't blatant carbon copies in any way so just let it alone and stop trying to incite petty internet fights... go start a real fight

[yeahgofuckyourself]

yes i know Green Day helped the living end out in some way...but really...green day a fucking shithouse compared to the living end. The Living End put on a better show,defently write better music and defently a better guitarest
