Swans - Omniscience - 05 - Black Eyed Dog

[frickenmeat]

Fantastic! Love Swans!

[theblahs]

Led Zeppelin guitars and Courtney Love on the vocals... wut a fuckin disaster.

[BurningSpear213]

@theblahs If Courtney Love could pull off a performance like that I'd be her #1 fan.

[Phildahl]

@theblahs You must not know much about music to compare these uber accessible pop bands to Swans.

[theblahs]

@Phildahl You must know absolutely nothing about music if you can't hear the fuckin reference materials all up in this particular cover, and hell naw I'm not listening to this band otherwise after hearing them shit up on this tune.

[Phildahl]

@theblahs what nick drake? This band was way before Hole, and Led Zepplin never played instruments so gutturally . turn of your radio. stop watching MTV.

[theblahs]

@Phildahl it seems you are a fucking idiot so I'm gonna simplify like a motherfucker... this band here doing this very shit cover of Black Eyed Dog gots a chick on vocals who apes on Courtney Love cum gargle sounds and the guitars are extremely easy to identify as a feeble Jimmy Page impersonation.

I don't know the band Swans outside this cover and I have no interest in knowing about Swans after hearing this fuckin godless piece of turd cover.

[Phildahl]

@theblahs This is a Nick Drake cover so they are doing Nick Drake riffs not Jimmy Page! This band formed way before Hole so it's more like Hole ripped them off. Also, Nick Drake was beginning his career along with the riff stealing Led Zeppelin. (search "everything's a remix led zeppelin") so again, you're wrong.

[theblahs]

@Phildahl No dumbfuck they are doing 100% shitty ass job consisting of 0% Nick Drake on this song, probably you should try to educate yourself on the original tune.

But hey man, Your "everything a remix blah blah blah" bullshit made me lol so thanks for that.

Keep pullin your pud, kid.

[Phildahl]

@theblahs I didn't make it and Led Zeppelin has openly stated that they stole all those songs. The original tune, if you were to distort the acoustic guitar, would sound a lot like this Swans cover, it's very creative how they took THEIR sound and made a cover of a very soft technical song like Nick Drake's Black Eyed Dog. you don't have to appreciate it but don't act like you know anything about music.

[Phildahl]

@theblahs I'm actually really glad you don't like this. I'm done trying to educate you.

[seanfuckingjones]

@theblahs I just had to jump in here. Jarboe's vocals are beautiful, interesting and heartfelt. Courtney Love is a soulless succubus who if anything is indebted to artists like Jarboe. Why is Zeppelin even mentioned or referenced? You clearly have a pop education of music at best. Expand your palate and knowledge about musical history before spouting off incorrect assumptions. You only embarrass yourself when you don't know the facts and get emotional.

[theblahs]

@seanfuckingjones I'm comparing a shit cover to an original tune which is fairly easy reindeer games. My hugely expansive, god-sized musical palate didn't even need a dip.

In fact, if you don't get the Zeppelin reference you're the one floundering in the primordial muck here cottonball. Thanks for commenting though, I remembered how bored I was trying to find a cover of Black Dog that didn't totally choke on a cock. That was fun times. Never did find one though,.

[seanfuckingjones]

@theblahs I refer you to another Swans song...Better Than You.

[greymalkin100]

@theblahs There is a good cover of Black Eyed Dog. Search for the Nick Drake Tribute at London's Barbican Theatre. The whos escape me, but its there somewhere. ( Robin Hytchcock ??)

greets from Belgium

[urckrecords]

thanks for putting this up,

this is a cover song right?

[BurningSpear213]

Yes, they're covering Nick Drake.

[urckrecords]

wow, I need to hear the original then, definitely not the Nick Drake material loved by the iPhone crowd!

[hollowbullet]

It sounds nothing like this. I don't know what kind of Nick Drake the iphone crowd listen to, but chances are, unless it were remastered, if you didn't like what you heard you won't like Nick Drake.

[Wantthosedaysback]

Jarboe and Mike's(swans) original cover is on side project World of Skin's 10 songs for another world. the studio cover is haunting , it reminds me of early Diamanda Galas . check it out =I

[greymalkin100]

@Wantthosedaysback Its on Various Failures now the Skin lp is deleted.

[spuffchops70]

@urckrecords Who are the iPhone crowd? And do I wish/need to know them?
