mike watt + the missingmen - Blue Oyster Cult cover song

[TheMasterOfReality55]

Man, some of you guys just don't fucking get it. Maybe if you actually payed attention to the music instead of the voice first, you would actually not be such a dumbass. It's called doing music in you're own style. Mike watt played with BOC so ya, he did a cover. Not everyone is gonna like the same kind of music. Get over it

[outlawwolf621]

besides I neevr said these guys suck,I only thingkn that the performance here sucks,maybe the mixing was bad.

[outlawwolf621]

pdxorcist I live in Croydon Pa. and if you wanna come visit me bring your guitar or bass,we can jam.I don't have the luxury of a camera but I would love to show you how good on teh drums I am-later Rick in Croydon

[gibby660]

You haters are clueless when it comes to this song, this is a classic Minutemen cover, and was even released on their 3 way tie album, and yes the BOC guys know and love this version, Alex E. Bloom was one of Watt's idols.

[outlawwolf621]

I'm gonna agree with boondock,this is sad for a cover and I would actually be ashamed to turn this in on you tube.Those people in the audience had to be hammered to tolerate this.I am surprised there wasn't chicken wire in front of the stage.I know I would have definately thrown somethingAnyone in the lower bucks county/philadelphia,pa. area looking for a drummer please e mail me.

OutlawWolf35 on aol.

@outlawwolf621 Just another aging dude who has to preach the truth as he sees it... I'd love to see your chops.

[pirateradionut]

My general theory is that a cover should always destroy the original (e.g., Minutemen "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love"), but this is a good cover of a great song.

[FromBeyond99]

I promise you that Watt has played this song more times than BOC. Oh and BTW the guys from BOC dig this and have jammed with Mike in the past.

[kitcatcher]

That's easily the coolest thing I've seen all week! I love BOC and I love the MinuteMen!

[inagod]

BAD,Listen to BOC play it live,practice makes perfect

[TheBoondockSaints]

That was easily the WORST fucking cover I've ever heard in my life. That asshole needs to go back to playing the recorder in elementary school. He played 8 notes the whole fucking time and stood there looking like the dipshit he is. Mike Watt ate shit, not surprising, the only person with any half-decent skill would be the guitarist you didn't notice. Fuck these guys, and fuck you for posting this garbage.

[hitwitstuff]

You're welcome.

[mikewattdisciple]

Right, because playing more notes makes you a better musician. Go listen to Malmsteen if you favor wankery over passion and energy.

[MetallicBill]

@mikewattdisciple Well, Punk is rough and ready music, more so less skilled one can note. I saw Malmsteen live in a small setting, it was the loudest show I'd been to in my life!!

[snowplowerking]

blue oyster cult wrote this song dip shit get your facts straight before you open your mouth dumb ass retard !!!!!!!!!

[franceISABELLE]

france-isabelle.I like to see(j'aime te voir).

I like you to head play bass(j'aime t'entendre jouer de la bass.).

you are good(tu es bon).

[rss313]

Yes, it's a cover, and it still sounds great here!

[hitwitstuff]

"The Red and The Black" can be found on Blue Oyster Cult's 1973 LP "Tyranny and Mutation." The earliest Minutemen recordings I've ever seen or heard is 1980.

[stereo15]

This is not a Blue Oyster Cult cover, Minutemen (Mike Watt's first band) wrote The Red and The Black which Blue Oyster Cult later covered.

[azmarkus]

You're completely wrong, it's a Blue Oyster Cult original written by Albert Bouchard, Eric Bloom, and their manager-svengali Sandy Pearlman. As hiwitstuff noted it's on BOC's second album 'Tyranny and Mutation'; to be completely accurate 'The Red and the Black' is a reworking of BOC's 'I'm on the Lamb but i Ain't No Sheep' (BOC's first album) with a different musical arrangement.

[iamthepreacher]

wow. dumb.

[kindestcut]

Oh my God...you gotta be kidding me...

[ydggrasill]

Didn't you ever read the liner notes where they pay their regards to BOC and Steely Dan?

[iamthepreacher]

i mean wow, youre dumb. not azmarkus, who is totally correct.

[iamthepreacher]

stereo15, that is.
