European Son - Beck

[delanpet]

this version's alright if you get the original outta your head when you listen to it...... Velvets are not the easiest band to cover

[bodsnvimto]

I love VU's first album but I thought this was far & away the worst track on it. This version is top, mind, in comparison (& mercifully brief!).

[Triumph72]

@bodsnvimto I think it's the best song on that VU album. All that chaos is exactly what they were.

[bodsnvimto]

@Triumph72

Well, each to their own, I suppose, eh!

[Triumph72]

@bodsnvimto Sure why not lol. Love that song!

[MrJas1991]

This is awesome. Different take on the original, but I like it a lot

[melaniasirotich]

[synth77]

[ercinese83]

[sekhmetraptah]

dedicated eclectic poet beck is...me & the 8 think so anyway sigh

[LIFEONPLANETBECK]

For the benefit of those who aren't aware, Record Club is a side project of friends dropping in to spontaneously record an ENTIRE album in one day.....unrehearsed, first take..........no pretentious b.s. here, just the love of music and taking chances....great feel to this one

[TheThroney]

i should be in the beck man group

[Ebut398]

beck is like rino gaetano........you know!!!!!one and amazing abd so cool

[gibbonsandtheslut]

so boring... this is just shit you should play while busking or something no something you should release on an album

[MowgliX]

I like it very much. This cover actually compliments the VU's original, which I think a good cover should.

[RaygunShaun]

Thorunn Magnusdottir is the girl. She's in the band Fields.

[beatleman1040]

Who's the girl that sings on these tracks?

[Tunnelof]

[Starvoid7]

[lonelyboy03]

Id love to hear becks version of rock and roll.

[kamalmanzukie]

soooo bad.

[beckmangroup]

Why is it bad?

[nschulz4537]

@beckmangroup I agree with kamal. I really like Beck's original material. I also _love_ all of Beck's covers of the Skip Spence material, but Velvet Underground are so well-known and well-covered, he's under more pressure to be original, but the unfortunate result is nothign about what made the original good is present here, but he didn't put the same amount of energy as he would into an original.

[beckmangroup]

@nschulz4537 I was just trying to prove a point that most of the people who comment don't have a legit reason for hating; case in point, kamal didn't respond.

[Zerrith]

@beckmangroup the legit reason for hating would be that it doesn't (or at least they don't think) it sounds good. It's as simple as that..

[nephroncavity]

@beckmangroup It's a beautiful cover. One of the best from the Andy Warhol album.

[lonelyboy03]

agreed. he didnt totally screw it up like James Taylor screwed up Hound Dog.

[DarkFukt]

Not bad.... I like
