Check out Broken Empire's cover of this song its recorded live & sounds better than this,They have gone to so much trouble with the looks & settings shame abour poor sound quality & playing
hopefully gonna catch you in warrington next month. good luck with the campaign to get how soon is now to number 1! THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT!
@pawnsacrifice1 i beg to differ, i myself am a guitarist that can actually play the song properly, im 18, i dont even remember the smiths, and i do a far better job than that, the videos up if you wana see it
Hey, you know, pretty good job! And I'm a musician that plays bass and guitar. Also, "stealing someone's else's style" is basically what we all do while leaning, so he's either full of shit or just a cantankerous pissant so ignore him.
I actually like this better than the other Smiths covers i've heard butchered! Nice!
Well I'll look forward to a post of you playing the guitar riff for 'This Charming Man'....and we'll compare to the guy above who you constructively criticised as being ' Fucking Shit'
Lol....Nah my only connection is I love The Smiths music...It's just you see so many full on comments on you tube from people who can't even play music let alone know what it is like to put a band together and get to the half decent point !
the singer should be shot then it would be a great cover, he doesnt sound like morrisey and he's thrashing the flowers nearly all the way through, it annoys me when people over do the whole flower thing,
"OUR OWN VERSION" Suggests you changed the song in some way to your own way or added something new. This isn't different at all. It's a direct cover, It's not what is written, it's how it is written which suggests otherwise.
Don't know if you got the last link, but it was a link to a "cemetry gates" video someone has posted up. A lot of the discussion was about how Morrissey MEANT to spell cemetary wrong.. (And, no, it doesn't matter..)
You do a good Smiths impersonation, but you'd never catch Morrissey saying, "a homage." It's "an homage" (unstressed first consonant.) The real Morrissey knows his grammar, guys..
I dont no if its the quality of the video but the singin isnt very gud, i sound more like morrisey than him. Or isnt he tryin to sound like him, i dunno.
Awsome i dont want to sound like im stalking but i could listen to you guys all night this video is so cool posted to favourites the smiths indeed rock and i speek on behalf of all the smiths fans in manchester. looking forward to your spring tour! xmozza loverx
I like you guys!No offense Jose Maldonado, but we need a young morrissey/smith cover-band singer.Yes! forget these HAters they wish they could play some music like this! KEEp up the good job guys hope to see you someday performing....
no seriously, this band licks hairy old people balls. its like filmed in their moms basement and it sounds like a dying cat. these gays are a disgrace to all bands ,cover or original, everywhere. i hope somebody kills whoever put this on or who encouraged them to.
There is definitely room for improvement, but you guys are great! I wish I could have something like this for my 10th anniversary! Forget the haters...you guys rock!
The guitar is good. It's pretty damn difficult I should imagine. After all, Johnny Marr was a weird cunt. No-one knows how he plays what he does...not even he does.
Truly and utterly appalling. A quiff and a handful of flowers does not a Morrissey make. So much of it is off key, get back to the day jobs boys. AT least learn how to pronounce "these things" properly!
Hey, this is a great homage! Don't be rude to the guy... He's not trying to take over the world of Morrissey, he's just a fan like us having fun. Well done.
