mike watt + the missingmen - 2 Wire Cover songs

[hiddenfire65]

I went to a club 5 hours early once where Firehose was playing, because I wanted to shake Watt's hand. When I got there, there were about 2030 young kids sitting listening to him give advice; it was amazing that he was so available. Of course I shook his hand. And that night (in St. Louis) sparks flew off his bass.

[BillGotBanned]

Holy crap. Mike Watt forever.

[mattisprettycool]

scott stapp does your post-punk favorites!

just joking! much love. I love watt.

[isurjak]

[sloanmidwestXTC]

Dude I fucking love pink flag its maybe my favorite album ever..and mike watt my favorite bassist ever! Awesome!

[teoferrazzi]

god they're such better musicians than Wire.. it's like they bring their songs to life..

[TheMasterOfReality55]

whats the song called? the first one again? I saw them last night at dipiazzas forgot the name

[wir154]

@TheMasterOfReality55 It's called "Three Girl Rhumba" and appeared on Wires' debut album "Pink Flag". It was later ripped off by Elastica for their son "Connection". The other song is "Ex Lion Tamer", also off Pink Flag.

[TheMasterOfReality55]

@wir154 thanks dude

[randomeddie]

Love Mike Watt, love Wire...this is too orgasmic for me to handle!

[UltimateVenom]

[poisonspider89]

@UltimateVenom how do you know wire but you dont know who mike watt is

[xyloplax]

WOW. Thanks!

[snowgod37]

Watt does that four finger up strum... Whacky but watt?

[wir154]

His version of "The 15th" on the "Whore" Wire tribute album is excellent too!

[willywa]

Watson rocks on Watt

[erolagyssup]

"fish fingers all in a line"... i get chills watching this

[maida1982a]

[iwilker]

Viva Mike, indeed. These are fucking great covers.

[evilsponge7]

[jlp58mjp]

[SvenSvitchblade]

[snowgod37]

[vinnyguitarandbass]

[mookie2637]

Best Wire covers ever. Viva Mike.

[nri1969]

Fucking brilliant. Not only is Watt a great musician, but he's also one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet.

[castillo555]

I saw them play live. It wasn't a great "show". They just fucking rock.

[bimsie01]

That drummer is my new hero.

[Tophat16]

matts the man!!

R.I.P. d boon

[Gaz0175]

Watt rules - and if you don't get it, then you just don't...

I agree, he is totally one of the nicest guys you could hope to meet.

[blackwater24]

Ah this is brilliant!

[signalfiremusic]

Dude just called Mike Watt a drunk homeless idiot. That is priceless.

[colinoco]

man his voice is really annoying. sounds like a drunk homeless idiot.

[hitwitstuff]

Not a traditional singing voice, granted. More of a Captain Beefheart growl, but still no reason to get so personal. Watt is one of the most fan-friendly, honest and diverse rock and rollers on the scene. Lone live the HELL-RIDE!

[hojima]

@hitwitstuff Additionally, probably one of the most easy to get into punk singers out there.

[TheMasterOfReality55]

@colinoco its funny how your comment is the only one thats hating

[malverde]

Wish they had played "Field Day for the Sundays" right before, to play the whole 3-song saga. Pretty great anyway!

[warzsawa80]

Elastica made a good version of this song (lol)

[swedel5765]

Yeah....and they ended up paying for it when Wire noticed!

[DoctorTchock]

great cover

[jehcuervo]

Elastica - Connection

[paulafromcov]

Yes exactly it is, dunno if you know but this was recorded 20 years prior. Wire, great band! Nice to hear covers.

[franceISABELLE]

france isabelle.

Vraiment tu est tres beau mike(you are very beautiful). J'aime le groupe,c'est tu bonne musique(I like group,its good music).

[pastymick]

um... rendered speechless...

[GrumpyOldMan]

Wow. That was utterly amazing. Ahh I wish I could have been there!

[willywa]

Watt maybe the man, but Watson is the Guitar Man!

[Iwouldntlivethatway]

amazing!!!!!!!!! also met watt a couple times, the nicest guy on earth. deserves so much more

[musicfreakishfan]

I met Watt and had the opportunity to interview him. He is amazingly genuine and maximum cool.

Run a search for Watt at piratepods dot com

[harmlessheroes]

watt is the man, wire is the shit. mike watt bring the missingmen to vancouver.

[glferret]

Awesome! Wire is one of the best 77 punk bands from Englad and these are great covers from the Pink Flag album. Gotta' love that Mike Watt.
