Butthole Surfers -The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald

[eyeofshera]

I think that its great to hear different peoples renditions of songs and something that meant alot to someone especially. Courtney Taylor of the Dandy Warhols cousin died aboard that ship so they did two renditions of the song which I think are really good. The first is The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald is a guitar based version and the second simply titled The Wreck has a lot of Pink Floydish sound effects that give it a ghostly omminous feel.

[suejinco]

That is just plain awful!!!

[acadx]

@suejinco i loves it too

[napalmko]

@suejinco You mean that in a good or a bad way?

[suejinco]

@napalmko what I mean is this: that is a respectful,classic song about a trajic event. it is not meant to be "hard metal". group of idiots paying that kind of music should leave it alone.

[napalmko]

@suejinco Lighten up crybaby.

Give a listen the Babylon A Go Go version. Those cats are from Cleveland and had a relative perish aboard the Edmund Fitzgerald. No offense, but this is kind of a lame cover, lacking in emotion--it's really lethargic and uninspiring--not what I would expect from the BHS.

ty 4 posting this freakin awesome !!!

[bolmsp]

thank u all i can saii is wow man !!!

[libertarianjury]

This is amazingly awesome. Leary is wonderful. Great Lakes' Edmund Fitzgerald Porter is my favorite beer, named after the sunken ship. It's a dark black, bitter, slimy porter. Goes well with habanero cheddar from Cabot, and mulatto teenie whores. My cousin and his japanese wife just told me the tale about how they listened to the ringing of the bell to commemorate the dead on the Fitzgerald mourning ceremony. She wanted to sit through the ceremony. LOL BS are heroic. Live it.

One of my favorite tunes, saw BS in Los Angeles in 87, really disappointed they didn't play this at that concert.

Saw the Meat Puppets play this last  night before the Butthole Surfers came on, it started the Night off right!!!
