@828Phatty It's from a tribute album to The Carpenters called "If I Were A Carpenter" which featured lots of alternative band. It also included the gem from Sonic Youth: Superstar. (Search for it on here!)
The beauty and tragedy contained herein leaves me speechless. Fantastic cover and another moment of pure rock and roll greatness from Redd Kross. You are not forgotten.
@stefanhuang I agree it is major suction.I recall this version on a Carpenters tribute compilation and although it is a fantastic song this band somehow butchered it.
@Mllnsane1 and @gingerlesnappe: The keyboardist is Gere Fennelly. Charlotte Caffey of the Go Gos, is Jeff McDonald's wife. None are married to any members of the Bangles.
The best cover on the album. People forget that Karen was a great drummer. I think she would appreciate this interpretation. She was always more "rock" than the suits would allow. RIP Karen and Eddie.
The Carpenter's version is a lot better! =.=; I wanted to prove to the people, who are being so harsh to the band, that it is not that bad! But.....it just is.....sorry! Didn't come here to trash talk, came here to listen to a cover of a song I really like and was disappointed, and that's it. It just wasn't that great!
...Carpeneters' version is much better-this is WAy to harsh in its delivery, the 'vocal skills ( ...cough, cough..) of the singer are grating here...YIKES...
Best Punk band that ever existed! They were aheadof their time like by at least 20 years! Sooooooooo awesome! They should release new stuff though, even though their old stuff is great. Everytime they release, something it always turns out great!
Redd Kross are a great band ,i used to go to most gigs in London in the 90.s but kids etc get in the way these days. I remember one gig in i think it was a club called Utopia at the end of the of Portabelo mkt in london they were superb
@SteveTheVahn I think you're right, but I think he should be able to do whatever the hell he wants on stage. Yea it's kind of annoying, but if you just hear the music, it's all good!
@Ghaiyst Trust me, if you knew Jeff's personality and how he does things, then you would understand that he does all that just cuz thats him; he's not gay or anything, or for that matter, woman like. He's just unique. If you've seen all the lovedoll movies and some interviews, then you'd know that he actually is very manly, even though he may talk like you'd think as a woman. ok, if you think this comment is an angry one then, you're wrong. i'm just stateing the reason why you maytinkheswomnly
@Ghaiyst its ignorant to question anyones sexuality. besides all of their songs are a buttload of LA/Hollywierd inside jokes. lighten up. I spent an ample ampont of time with these fellas. they ARE funny and cool and a blast to hang with...
@xentrox You got it all wrong man! That comment right there proved you to be a heartless man. Fine, mis out on this great music, and listen to the alternative crap. I agree that this song isn't his best, but the band is ultimetely awesome, no doubt about it! He may seem like a faggot to most, but thats just his personality, and the way he is, and proabably, was born. He isn't a faggot. He's hella cool, that's what he is. Charismatic, and awesome.
general question about Redd Kross if anyone can help me...I have the song "play my song" from the album neurotica (1987)on a comp - and it sounds like a female singer. did they ever have a female guest vocalist? or am i crazy and is that steve singing on that song?
great remix from original
