a could not agree more with that top comment a feel as if a dont wanna share damien with anyone man,a understand bands going mainstream but not damien. never ever.
My band has covered this, kind of an improvised version, at various open mic events. I kind of made up my own bass line for it, based on my sort-of Lemmy/Geezer Butler/Jack Bruce bass style, so it's sort of funny to finally hear the original version. It's a good song to 'get loud' as the end approaches, like Joe Cocker covering 'A Little Help From My Friends.' :)
@Robinzorz "Desole" isn't just a French way of saying sorry, it comes from the Latin verb "desolare" - to leave alone which makes sense if u interpret the lyrics
Wow. I didn't know that. I've never seen any promotion for him and I'm on his Myspace page which only shows his past dates in the UK and I think S.A. I guess it's just a matter of if he'll ever do any western stops soon.
I'm from America and I love him (in a non-gay way). It sucks though because he mostly only tours over there. I still have never seen him live. By the way, cool name ToxicKetchup.
for me its pure selfishness, this music is so personal and relatable i prefer to think im the only who ever hears it. while i wish him every success i dread him becoming mainstream. it would change the world he lives in and inevitably would change the songs he writes. but like i said, pure selfishness
Not to worry, the Billboard and the mainstream rarely take to anyone unique and original. Now and again they do, but not often. They prefer the cookie cutter musicians.
Love it.

One of my faves! I cannot believe that he doesn't tour in the US. He probably dislikes the idea of becoming commercial.
He is definitely part of the soundtrack to my life!
