John Doe covers "Here Comes A Regular" (Replacements)

[zzyyxxo]

love him.



[jenhasken]

Wonderful.

[mrwibbles1]

This song always made me cry, but that's because it is so beautiful.

[mrwibbles1]

This song always made me cry, but I loved it.

[chrispossis]

Most beautiful song Westerburg ever wrote.

[gonzo612]

In a word, "Fucking Awesome."

[TheTwisted67]

This has to be hands down the best cover versions I've heard. John Doe's voice suits this perfectly.

[talkingdoc]

love it. thank you jd

[SphincterPratt]

sOMEONE'S gonna show up twice, but apparently, no one's gonna call your name out loud and clear. Forgot where you were, you old beatnik.

[peacenails]

[mattcatastrophe71]

Check this out: the Replacements Here Comes a Regular a cover by the Catastrophes on youtube

[KARSDAY]

John needs to do an album of covers like this, Brilliant !

[teckertime]

Amazing!

[epsteinsmutha1]

Okay, let's enact this into law:

If you cannot nail a Replacements cover any better than John Doe has (and that bar, ladies and jellyspoons, is set somewhere higher than Tibet, having viewed this and "I Will Dare") YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS MAKING THE ATTEMPT AND YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE BLOODLINE WILL BE EXECUTED ON SITE.

This. Was. Brilliant.

SO GLAD Exene wasn't singing with him on this.

[originalminujk]

Not too fast!! This is John's version; well played and excellently sung. I am a fan and never knew he sang this good. Great song written by a genius and performed by another one. We are spoiled!

[pitbull103]

Heard John sing this one back at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica in the mid 1990s. Gorgeous. John feels this song to the bones. Beautiful.

[GLASGOWrangers4life1]

its alright but i wish we cood just have the proper version on utube

[ConnorIRL]

SHITE SONG

[Danklin24]

Not bad but too fast. It really distracts from the emotion and depressing feel of the song.

[Radlejuice]

@Danklin24 I agree this version is too fast. This isn't an anthem, but a spoken word piece.

[erikshunn44]

Too much to drink...old memories surfacing...and then John Doe has to sing this god damn song. Perfect.

[larrygr90]

its a great song..and a great performance..nuff said..

[atlstarter]

Sigh...

[librj]

I was at this show,up to the right of him..amazing show...........

[rcs99rcs]

his heart is made of glory,

and his voice is made of gold...

[hypersquared]

Dare I say ... it tops the original? Wow.

[adrianbcool]

I prefer the one I played with a tone deaf and drunk drummer on lead vocals. Not that I'm putting John Doe down or anything, but that dude had soul haha.

[nwana1977]

I may be a little drunk but that just made me laugh.

[nwana1977]

No!

[hypersquared]

Well, I do love the song. However, there were things about the arrangements and production on the "Tim" album that didn't work for me. In general, I prefer live versions of this song. The Mats' own version on "Inconcerated" is great. And I think Doe nails it here.

[KellyGreen5555]

Uh, no. Nothing can top the original.

[lenaisapunkrocker]

ya, but it's still a great cover. I mean, it's John Doe... Doe and Westerberg have got to be like... Gods or something. No, they ARE Gods....

[squidlycarmichael]

Again... much, much thanks! Clearly John was a fan. Now I want to see Paul doing "Worldwide Brotherhood" as payback. Bet he'd nail it, too!!

GOD BLESS YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!

[Viacomclosedmedown]

Lobo says "Wheatfields of St. Paul" in "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo"..I know where he means too..that's where they had a homegrown ditch-weed bust. thanks for a classic here by Doe. my buddy has an autographed diner placemat from him and Exene.

[esocseric]

mr doe coving st. paul?!

[bursts into tears of joy]

[porkinwitz]

fuckin love it......i did hear the rumor that paul and tommy were recording some new stuff....a tour?...i can only hope.

[Viacomclosedmedown]

no that was Mark and Gary from the Jayhawks..should be good

[stugats1]

good deal Mr.Doe

[TallFastLoud]

goosebumps

[pvd5019]

Anybody know how he's playing that? Like a tab I mean.

[saguaroboy]

A lifetime of sadness and regret in 4 minutes- God Bless the Replacements.

[jayscott49]

Leave to John Doe to recognize this awesome Replacements song and bring something to it.
