Unbelievable track! Had the pleasure of hearing Quicksand play this at Bogarts Cincinatti December 1994 and again with Rival Schools "Walter" this past October in Buffalo. Wish they could reunite for a tour. I would give just about anything to see Quicksand live again!
It's not as much a cover as it is a re-invention of the song and I think its great. It's the kind of ingenuity and creativity that made Quicksand one of a kind.
@unbridledenthusiasm Whatever, I love Quicksand and Rival Schools as well, but this is seriously, like, not that impressive. They should make it illegal to cover the Smiths.
@unbridledenthusiasm If you watch the Big Lebowski "that's just like, your opinion man" is a direct quote from the movie. The main character is referred to as the dude.
@jacob7207 If you think this is crap, then you obviously have NO taste in music. This is one of my all time favorite recordings of any song. Ever. Back off Quicksand. This is amazing.
@wponder12 Pfft. Whatever. I say it's crap. So it's crap. What's going to happen? Are you going to swing your arms like hard core style back in 1995 in the pit?
@Yeedeed It was weird. But prior to that, I hadn't heard of Quicksand. After I saw them live, I went out and bought the CD. I was in the front row in front of their bassist. He was pissed because his cord going from the bass to the amp got all tangled. They were good.
Holy sh*t! Been a Smiths fan for a good chunk of my life and love the original version, but this is the most original interpretation and best cover of How Soon is Now I've ever heard.
I don't understand--do you not like Quicksand, then? Why did you upload this if you don't enjoy it? This is a fantastic song, even if only as reinterpretation.
it's true, this version doesn't have that "je ne sais quoi qui qui" way of seeing things (sort of a "drama queen way") this one just Tells it like it is. (it doesn't depend at all btw on gender or sexual identity. there's just simply different ways to see and go about things. ..of course the "dramatic attributes" have been traditionally left for women and gay men, i'm not trying to deny that. etc.) thanks for uploads.
