Fuck up about Kurt Cobain they are in no way any similar as artists and they are both amazing in there own ways. Can't cunts like you just appreciate a song without having to compare other artists shut the fuck up you dumb cunts.
dont wanna sound like a douce, but....damien rice dosen't use a pick, however i still agree he has more talent in his fingers than most pornstars let alone musicians :P
hey! could a native english speaker help me out with the lyrics? cause I checked on the internet but there's too many different version and I don't really get which of these is the good one
he is amazing in every possible way.'good voice'i agree with you its a fuckin cliche`! u can actually feel his pain through his music and his fury! i feel it all with every beat ..i love his music.
On the swearing debate, I think the profanity was used as tool in this song. It added an urgency of meaning that only profanity can express. It intensified the rawness of this song.
First of all, he's just potentially expressive. When he sings it looks like he's singing just what you're thinking, even if you're truly happy, you get his fury and you start remember all those stuff in shit mode that had happened to you.
"He's got a great voice" it's a fucking cliché. He has no good voice. He has a good sight of music versus world.
I'm pretty sure the two bonus tracks are 'Prague' and 'Silent night'. I could be wrong though, I havent listened to the album version of eskimo in ages.
I've seen Damien live a few times and he always looks like he just crawled out of a ditch after an all night bender. It's part of his charm. I don't see any resemblance to Kurt Cocaine in this at all! Damien is a fantastic song writer and performer. This is the best live taping of Woman like a man I've seen. 5 stars!
@tonedeafmunkey dont wanna sound like a douche, but....damien rice dosent use a pick when he plays :P although i still believe he has more talent in his fingers than most pornstars :P
Don't want to sound like a douche, but...Damien Rice doesn't use a pick, however i do agree the man has more talent in his fingers than most musicians today (:
@tonedeafmunkey There two whole different genres; how can you even compare them ... Kurt Cobain basically created a whole new genre; Damien Rice is a legend of the folk genre ... how can you even compare!!!
@JonnyJustSpunkiied I was comparing based on talent. Musical talent which breaks across genres. It is not genre specific. For example, would Kurt have been able to sit down and play some of the most intricate Damien Rice songs? Most likely not. Could Damien play any Nirvana song? More than likely. That is how I can even compare. And Kurt didn't create anything. Grunge was around before Nirvana, they just pushed it into the mainstream.
@tonedeafmunkey Your seriously going to base it on "more than likely"; I have seen Kurt sing Plateau, Come As You Are, Etc so he has a good slow singing voice; New York Unplugged proves Kurts playing talent which is much better than Damien Rice's chord songs ... So to me Kurt is a much better talent but I am not going to mock Damien Rice because to me he is the meaning of folk music in my eyes/ears but Kurt is much more talented to me :)
@JonnyJustSpunkiied Unplugged in New York has nothing as technical as some of the Damien Rice songs. Your basing musical talent based on how it sounds to the ear to YOU rather than actual playing ability. You could say that you rather the sound of Kurt's playing to Damien's but to say Kurt was much more talented I'm afraid is utter bull. Especially basing it on Unplugged in New York. I used to think Kurt was the greatest guitarist ever, until I studied music and realised he really really isn't
If Kurt is more talented than you, take guitar lessons for one year.
Curt once said he disliked his own songs. His songs are great because of his epic scynical desinterest in everything. The same reason he's no more now. Damien is still somewhere with open eyes watching the world and writing new songs. And learning to sing better. That's why Damien is better in my opinion. But if you love epic desinterest, for you Kurt may be better.
@tonedeafmunkey kinda shitty comparing him to a tacky ass drug addict whos best talent was convinceing young ppl that he was something special,lmao,jk,
The only flashes of Kurt Cobain that can be caught in that performance is the fact that it is a live show. Kurt did live shows too. Damien Rice pisses from teh greatest of heights on Kurt Cobain. Cobain was a junkie who was a very poor guitarist, vocalist and as for his song writing....it was senseless nonsense. I have seen both play live.....i would walk a thousand miles to watch Rice any day. If Nirvana were to play....I would not cross the road to watch them.
I disagree with what you're saying. Cobain had a rare powerful voice and was a great song writer. I assume you're just saying that because you've matured since you saw them live.
Damien is so amazingly talented. It's a shame he isn't as well known as he deserves to be. Or rather, what's more shameful is that we'd rather listen to rap and pop than meaningful music like Damien's.
thanks eskimofriend83. when looking at the website it looks most like the 25 model. there is even an "O" model, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was Damien's.
Lisa's mike is far too soft :( the words she says are really meaningful ( I can get a cheaper ticket etc )but cant be heard at all in this recording. Pity...
I understand that that's the most obvious way of doing that, but does anyone know how *he* does it? Because I imagine what he's doing there with two mics is easier than setting up an overdrive pedal to your mic and hoping for true bypass when it's off.
it is true that damien rocks it even without the swearwords,but its a shame to not get the maximum effect of the song, and holding back the original lyrics is obviously holding something back. dickheads.
1 sec on the swearing debate, bbc four sessions usually airs at about 11:00pm in Britain so it's not pre-watershed so why is there no swearing? it must of been Damien's decision
I give up. This is the last comment I´m writing in regards to this discussion.
I really, really like Damien Rice because he´s a story teller, he makes me have feelings and associations about something I might not even have experienced and I still don´t think it´s o.k. to randomely exchange words for others and it´s not about the swearing, the version is good, but it´s not the same to me. I will still continue to listen to Damien Rice, because you´re right, he does "rule".
Damien Rice rules regardless of the words he´s singing??? Did you really write that?
Oh well, that´s alright then. Next time I listen to one of his songs I´ll just try to ignore what he´s singing, since it doesn´t matter at all.(Don´t know if he would appreciate someone rendering his lyrics meaningless).
I think special about the swearword thing is that he first doesn't say bastard but then, at the hightest level of tension gets back to the original lyrics and just says it, you wanna get fucked inside out, thats it, damien rice rocks it.
What annoys me a little is not the absence of bad language in the song but the fact that by changing the words he also changes the meaning of the song (you wanna be the master of yourself, not quite the same thing as the bastard of yourself?,no?). But hey, it´s not a big thing, I still like him a great deal.
Hello? Is it just me or is he singing "master" instead of "bastard" and "mucked" instead of "fucked"? Did he really enter some sort of faustian pact with the BBC? (don´t sing naughty words on the telly.)Is this the same man who once said he was disillusioned with the music industry, because they asked him to make his music more radio-friendly?
Yes, sadly that is so. He is only human. Comforting to know he can be manipulated just like the rest of us. (Good thing he wasn´t singing "Rootless tree", that would have been really awkward.
Whoa, come on, guys... I didn't take this as selling out or whatever. So he censored his lyrics for a TV performance. So what? I've seen performances of this song uncensored, but do you really think the absence of "fucked" and "bastard" take away from the amazing rawness of the song? If so, it's not being appreciated like it should be.
BELIEVE ME...the reason he broke away from Juniper (now Bell X1) was that he felt pressured from the demands of their record label, whom wanted radio-friendly songs...he has one helluva personality
if you wanna hear him cuss, go see him live :]...end of story
He's not selling out he's just showing some respect for the BBC, if they don't want to have swear words then thats that. i dont think taking out the swear words changes the mood or the feeling of the song.

if you wanna hear him cuss, go see him live :]...end of story

He's not selling out he's just showing some respect for the BBC, if they don't want to have swear words then thats that. i dont think taking out the swear words changes the mood or the feeling of the song.

Is there a special name for those mics that distort voices like that?
doozer8688 3 years ago
not quite, the mic is hooked up to some sort of effects processor. he could have also used the same mic, just with a stomp box.

Great song! He did changed the lyrics but it's still intensely rough. I love Lonely soldier as well.
Very good quality as well.
