the dude from Pretty little things hasn't quite got it yet but burgess is a legend and is the second best vocalist of his generation, after Liam Gallagher, commercially speaking of course. I haven't heard every vocalist in the world.
I don't listen to these guys so please excuse me for adressing them so primitavely but the second bloke who sand wasn't too bad but the first guy with the bowl haircut kinda killed it for me...it don't sound his style, the other guy fits it a bit better...niether are better that adam of course but yeah, they did it justice
Not bad. Not as good as the original, of course, but they could've done worse. The one with the bad haircut/wig (couldn't tell) is horribly off-key, though, which is what I think ruins it a little...
i noticed something, both the Charlatans and the lead singer from Dirty Pretty Things where on the mighty boosh, and the next episode (if you can call it that) of t4 transmission Noel and Julian from the mighty boosh were the guests.
Pete Neon was actually played by the guitarist of Dirty Pretty Things, Anthony Rossomando... (Too bad, I would have liked to see Carl as a Mighty Boosh character!)
Didn't know the Charlatans had been on it, though!
Which incedently, I feel that they both did an absolutely superb job on this! As for the vocals? Well erm..... All good fun though on the whole, and why not?
not as good as the real thing! i think they could have made an effort with their hair too, put a coupla braids in. i'm glad they covered it but it just shows how good adam's original was. great to hear the two original ant drummers doing the burundi beat drumming!
If Marco was dead he'd turn in his fucking grave at that guitar solo. Best thing abt it was Chris and Tel playing together again. You could see Tel was fkn lovin it!
Who reckons we should petition channel 4 for an earlier timeslot for the next series of Transmission - criminal that the only decent non-pretentious music show on regular TV is on so late!
quite weird to see Carl without guitar

great cover. I've added it to my FB group dedicated to covers. It's called "The Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version"
