  • wat a song and wat a band

  • Thanks Christy &the lads pure talent great times seeing you guys in Noggin Inn

  • Congratulations

  • It's a brave band to take on Pink Floyd, my favourite group.It was good until the DD-dd part. Also sounded a bit like R.E.M. Nice.

  • Love this version... Cant stop listening to this great band! :D

  • as a die hard floyd fan im pleasantly surprised.

  • The best version .... yes

    Better than you know who !!!

  • @breffnipark Mam nadzieję, że chodzi Ci tylko o tytuł 'wish you were here' i piosenkę lavigne... jesli chodzi Ci o oryginał Pink Floyd to jesteś niezrównoważony psychicznie :)

  • one of my favourite songs/covers

  • ur no 1 fans from limerick rosann and sarah xxxxxx

  • second verse sucks in comparison to the floyds version, has much less feeling and power behind it.

  • So So you think you can tell Heaven from Hell Blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts Hot ashes for trees And hot air for a cool breeze And cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk-on part in the war For a lead role in a cage? How I wish How I wish you were here We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground
  • And what have we found? The same old fear I wish you were here I wish you were here And how I wish you were here I wish you were here Do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do... I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here, wish you were here Wish you were here, wish you were here, here I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were
  • 5 people thought it said 'Dis i like' ! !

  • best Irish band ever - and any1 who think differ is a backwards fck

  • Saw Aslan in Dublin 2004 when they played this i was blown away, i still love it. x

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sorry but I really don't like this version, it's too jumpy and sounds like he's reading it.... and I'm a massive Floydie xxx Nice guitar but don't like the vocalist. xxx

  • ha ha U2 are a bigger band yer off yer heads like this lot all they have is cover versions to out of their heads to write their own go on ya boy

  • @29pu04 aslan have done about 3 cover songs the rest are their own...they did a cover album to then to say thanks to the fans and let the fans pick the songs...and when one of the artists that they covered say its the best cover they have heard done by anoyone else that says alot !

  • @29pu04 what are u on about u ape aslan have 10 albums out soon to be 11 and out of that 11,10 of them will be originals so back away and come back when u know what ur talking about u fool.

  • @kinseyal01 i know Aslan are much better then u2 u cleary didnt read my post right,i said u2 have some savage songs which they do even thou i hate bono credit where credit is due,but aslan have just as many savage songs and as a matter of fact they have more savage songs then u2,Aslan are by far the best band to come out of Ireland and i know they boys never forgot where they came from i have spoke to Christy more then once and have all there 10 albums signed ASLAN=LEGENDS

  • @gerrycostello they would of been huge really huge if christy stayed of the yak sorri but its very true they are legends i hate bono too the prick nearly knocked my cuz down in killiney and the fact he wants money for other countries fair enough they need help but help your own country wen it needs it resession

  • @kinseyal01 Big fat FAIL ur wrong,it was nothing to do with that they brought out this is,Christy got side tracked with drugs they broke up got back together and brought out crazy world they,were offered a deal with bmg(i think)uk to bring out an album recorded it took a year off to promote it in the uk then a week before the due date bmg said they werent releasing it so there were left with no record deal and no gigs,Thats why Aslan never made it as big as they deserved FACT nothing else

  • This is a great cover, but I personally think that the original's sound fits better with the lyrics. Still awesome.

  • This is definately the best Cover of this song. This tune is my favourite, and I remember the first time I heard this it totally blew me away. Since I have introduced people to Aslan whenever I can, and all of them love their music straight away.

    I just wish they played some Scottish gigs :-(

  • does anyone know where you can find guitar tab for the solo played at 2:43-3:13??

  • amazin cover!

  • chinky stinky remmber class chinks stink!

  • Almost(if not) better than the Originial!!!

  • I fucking love this cover <3 i love Aslan

  • dooooo doo 

  • Aslan Are The Best Irish Band Of All Time, Christy's Lyrics Are Something Us Irish Can Relate 2

  • aslan love your song it holds a big place in my heart i lost my grand son at 17

    he love your songs thanks for maney lovely and happy days

    keep on goin lads mick

  • @ Redzz454545 Youre actually wrong,Aslan are miles ahead of u2,your prob one of the many irish people that say, aslan there shite sur they only have two songs, this is and, crazy world ,but ye never take the time to sit down and listen to there music,if aslan brough out that put on your boots song they would be slated for it but because u2 bring it out its a great song,well its not great its shite,dont get me wrong , u2 have some savage songs but aslan have just as much and more

  • @gcostello2007 well said, i love aslan i dont love u2 thats the difference

  • @gcostello2007 u2 are alri but aslan are much better than u2 fair enough they do a good few covers but id say they would take any u2 songs and make them better aslan from dublin and dey never forget wer dey came frm they always play the place that got them noticed THE SALLY NOGGING INN and they're so down to earth smoking pot outside the pub christy is a legend u2 arent as good as these and aslan arent as good as the script the best ireland has produced since the potaoes

  • Top class as always Irelands best band by miles

  • great cover!!

  • This is such a great band. What a cover, really. The original song is just treasure, but this is the best version I have ever heard.

    Cheers!

  • aslan are better than u2, they were just unlucky and christy's bad habit didn't help

  • @snackbox1989 Youre actually wrong? They reeeeeeeeeally arent better than U2? Not just my opinion.. that's fact. They're not even near the same league as U2.

  • but aslan are not 3bad

    class song.............love it

  • Amazing cover :) Love it

  • why amint i aloud copy this .. there deadly and all but wdf is with the url ??

  • better than the original

    fucking amazing tune, gives me shivers

  • brilliant cover version

  • Deadly stuff. Saw them in the late 80's back in Ireland and last year in Trafalgar Square. Hope they another tour.

  • true, but the guitar in pink floyds version is way better

  • Brings chills! Aslan rules!

  • This is for a mate who was lost of my brothers boat a couple of months ago.

    Pa we miss you man. R.I.P

  • man Aslan is my nme i met this girl in scotland and she went that my name is famous in ireland and told me to look it up in youtube goodle and yeah freakin wicked my name is famous lol

  • what are u talking about?

  • aslan are the kiddies, they make evry cover song there own, go on christy,

  • Ah jeez the flute is annoying me

  • As a huge floyd fan and having seen aslan over a dozen time i have to say christy and the boys do the best live version of this song by a country mile.

  • Apart from Pink Floyd's version I hope?

  • Floyd wrote an awesome song, Aslan play it with a passion the pink floyd hasn't has since the early 70's

  • How can you prefer this cover to pink floyds . Come on for fuck sake. ts good but its not that good.

  • are u mad this song is a legend u need to get with the time!!!!!!!! Everyone loves this version..

  • aslan tomorrow nite in the players lounge fairview............cant wait great band

  • ye well be there myself looking forward to it

  • you lucky bastard

  • even the brazilians dont want cork lol

  • see u boys in killarny sat night...... love u guys!!

  • aaaaa

    going to see them tomorrow night in the belgard complex, Tallaght

    cant wait

  • Well done lads make ireland proud bst song ever xxx sue

  • best cover.... prefer it 2 any

  • all i can say is you make us proud,brilliant band......seen em live soo many times and never disappointed!!!!!!!Dublin and Ireland are proud of you boys,keep going you deserved to have been recognised worldwide!!!

  • fukin better than u2 will ever be coulda made it big lads!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i don't believe that now. I like aslan and but U2 have proved to be one of the most consistent bands at producing hit after hit worldwide. U2 are way better

  • no way, I like aslan as well, but you have to realize what u2 have accomplished regardless of how bono might annoy people and how sound christy is. No doubt, U2 are better, in my opinion.

  • aslan are legends... they wuda bin massive only for some of ther past restricted them breaking threw in big countries like america......

    brilliant live performers too... an they r genuine.. wen they visit my home town they usually cum bak to parties after an all...

  • pink floyd have said that this is the best cover of this song ever by anyone

    FACT

    was in an interview done with one of the band not a big floyd fan but know this song well and seen the interview

    he said the crowd made it even better

  • good

  • I have to say Aslan's version of the original is far better , better vocals better everything ..

  • Its a good cover, but alot of the emotion of the song is lost. Its not like when Johnny Cash did his cover of the NiN song "Hurt". When Cash sang that cover he added alot more emotion to it.

  • In my opinion you cannot compare Pink Floyd's version with Aslans, PInk floyd's version is way better , Its their song, Aslan do a very good copy of this song,

    Christy is a amazing singer but nothing can compare to David Gilmore singing this

  • I love Pink Floyd but seriously I think Aslan's version of this song is better,

    Love Aslan great band and fair play to them for keeping going for so long respect no matter what they do their music is all that matters at the end of the day

  • I would have to agree

  • Keep an eye out for the new official Aslan music video filmed by Floorshow films. Should be on youtube in the coming weeks.

  • who ever says anyting bad about aslan ur sad

  • Its Lovely!!! ha He's a big Skag head aint he!! haha Love em!!

  • one of the fellas from aslan was in the pub the other day... and he was singin on kaorke and he was brilliant... :D... then i sang and he said i was a good singer :D i was delighted... :D

  • i m Bangladeshi but i lived in dublin and i worked for Tripod and Redbox so i saw this band and i can say they are amazing. They are so good and i wish i can see them again.

  • its better then original !!!

  • its a good cover.

    but i have no clue how one can dare to say its better than the original!

    never! long live the floyd<3

  • Love pink floyd version but this is just so much more passionate..love it.

  • Best Floyd cover U'll ever hear FACT!!!

  • one word! (FANTASTIC)

  • shur ur mouth ye lil torag ye haven a clue ur idiot there fuckn brill

  • fuckin twats like pete docherty get good publicity for taking drugs and bein a fuckin idiot..but christy was a heroin addict and it stopped him becomin massive...crying shame it is. BEST VOCALS AND LYRICS U WILL HEAR. LEGENDS!!!

  • I love Aslan. This song, Angie and crazy world show how they are a great band :)

  • fuck who eva sings d song d words remain d same therfore the song remains d same!!! huge pink floyd fan i am but i love this version! big aslan fan as well christy d lead singer went to same school as me(nt at same time tho) and der drummer tot my da how to play drums

  • never can even touch the proximity to Pink Floyd's one! awful compared to Gilmore's version!

  • i wouldnt go anywhere near as far as calling this cover "awful" by any means hawarse.

  • They didn't cover the song for ass bandits like you

    or anyone else to compare..They covered because its a beautiful song and they obviously have alot of respect for floyd. Numb nuts!!!

  • love this song soo much especially aslans cover def the best version of it

  • you are taking the piss... NEVER compare Aslan to Pink Floyd again, even though this is a half decent version.

  • good man.

    I have to agree sorry hawarse

  • Never tell me what i should think of somethings this is a class version of it so f*uck you

  • compare ASLAN to Pink floyd, This song is about Barrett so when aslan sing it the meaning of the song is lost. It doesn't matter what you think about it, your opinions don't change the fact that this is probably the best song aslan ever played and they didn't even write it, bunch of fucking clown shoes if you ask me.

  • how about if ya think that aslan appreciated pink floyds song enough to cover it????no cover is better than the origional,the origional is wrote for a reason...christy and the lads covered it so it obviously meant something to them so its a bit harsh of ya to come on here and tell someone there wrong dya not think...

    and to be honest aslans version is better preformed than pink floyd's in my opinion

  • thats your opinion, my opinion is its an average cover of the song, the guitar is great, they mixed it up a bit, and the singer has a good voice, but its not the sort of voice that fits best with the song, of course aslan appreciate pink floyds song, its one of the most famous songs ever written, and thats why i can't even begin to compare this version to the original, for me the original is perfection. this cover sounds a bit too boybandish

  • well average isnt bad for a band that still preform in my local pub...realistically when you compare pink floyd to a recovering heroin addict thats been through it all you cant compare.....and its great cos this song means alot to me,and without aslan i wouldnt know it...so in that aspect i really appreciate the fact they covered it.....

  • "well average isnt bad for a band that still preform in my local pub"

    REALLY!!! wow i can't believe i was comparing a band like Pink Floyd to a band that STILL plays in your local pub!

    and so what if he is a recovering heroin addict, how does that make a difference to the music, theres loads of musicians who recovered from heroin e.g. eric clapton

    anyway, judging on the performance of aslans lead singer on stage he probably would have been better off still on the smack

  • "he probably would have been better off still on the smack "

    You're sad

  • dubsbhoy how could you hate Aslan? Unless.. unless.. unless.. ya I guessed it... G M, LF

  • I love pink floyd and hate Aslan but this cover is class

  • Ha I only found out this was actually by Pink Floyd about a week ago, I used to listen to this in my car when I was about ten heading to Dublin forthe weekend. Ah, sweet memories. Better, much, than the original.

  • just amazing,as is anythink irish

  • except all the drunks

  • oh well could be worse could be english

  • just amazing,as wit anythink irish

  • This is an awsome cover !!!!

    Dare I say just as good as Pink Floyds ...

    ...no it's BETTER ! Yes definately BETTER !

  • this is might be the best cover of a song ever. it might also be just as good as pink floyds. great.

  • i love aslan....nd dis is my fav song by dem....fantastic cover

  • Woaah this cover is nice, but Pink Floyd's version is all the way better!!

  • i think aslans cover has to be thee best cover of an original song EVER!!!

  • Best version/cover by a mile, no question.

  • this is so good it almost surpasses the floyd version

  • Nothing can surpass the PF version.

  • they do a fuckin good job wit this one an byby floyd

  • Go on christy! :-) gr8 cover
