Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Nothing Ever Happens

[trudeluren]

Very good!

[17JIMPY07]

Really not a fan. Del Amitri made a version that really didn't need to be touched!

[albanlanfant]

cool

[drconfuse]

So amazing

Old manfred succeeds once again.

Taking a totally unskilled musicians song and tranformes it to epic divine tunes.

We all heard it before with Springsteen and Dylan songs.

These so call original artists don't even have the skill to tune their instruments correctly.

Takes a genious to make these magicians acts.

Hats off to Manfred

[STUKAY]

@drconfuse Are you for real? Surely got to be a wind-up! This has got to be one of the worst cover versions I've ever heard. No soul, no feeling and bereft of meaning. The only piece of genuis are the supreme lyrics of this classic Del Amitri song written by the hugely talented Justin Currie

[MsBainy]

@STUKAY : Agree

[tlil5774]

How someone can take a perfect Del Amitri song and then make that this sort of a drivel version of it is utterly puzzling.

[unstabledavid]

i didnt know del amitri got so much respect from thier peers in enhland too bad this sucks they have done great with springsteen songs but this blows.....

[Yameta67]

Wow! This is fantastic! Manfred Mann's Earth Band takes this song to a higher level!

[swollower]

@Yameta67 Bollocks! Sorry but your wrong!

[jamesstafforduk]

Way to kill a great song.

And cutting the last, most powerful verse? Shame on you and may your career burn in flames as a result.

[gorgierebel]

Totally killed the sentiment and meaning of the song.

Fuckin cover artists should be hunted down and set on fire.

Fuck sake Mike it's not like you havn't penned some crackers in you're time????

[simon10708]

I'm a lifelong MMEB fan, seen them many times, bought their albums. But I also love Del Amitri. The sheer cowardice of cutting the crucial last lines - "They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock and we'll all go along like before" is pathetic. Shame on you, Mike Lubowitz.

[applemac555]

@simon10708 poor old steve waller; he was a bugger of a boy, and a great guitarist. saw him live a few times in london playing in a pub called the father redcap (think it was in camberwell)

[bewemo]

Funny..... I so much more like this version....

[getyoursfree]

Awful cover. Urgggh!

[mattmurd0ck]

Manfred Mann forever!  with Chris Thompson

[casperld]

This is fucking horrible! I thought it was a joke. The singer is good but the cheesy music is dreadful, just dreadful.

[anonymusum]

@ casperld

So you think a guy who is singing and playing guitar like Bob Dylan in the 60s isn´t cheesy? MM liftd the song up to a higher point.

[bood22ataol]

holy shit, is this the original. Its fuckin aweful. Prefer del amitris version.

[celtickool]

Fear not.....this is a cover version of a Del Amitri origional

[Gatorade117]

Nice vocab BBBS, you fucking fagget get alife no one cares about your big words.....im a social worker

[joh2]

I liked Thompson and Waller as vocalists...

[Godofwrath68]

Thompson rocks! He was the best lead vocalist. Manfred Mann's Earth Band rocks! The best band in history!

[harryedwards]

This is an atrocity on a similar scale to the Holocaust.

[bigrexlowlife]

at least it`s better than the version by that Scottish band who died a death

[BBBS]

If the Third Reich was a karaoke act, then maybe...

[Eschatosaurus]

Noel McCalla is the MAN!

[joh2]

Noel McCalla - Mike Rutherford (Genesis, Mike & the Mechanics fame) did his first solo album in 1980 - so much for it being a "Mike Rutherford" solo album, as Mr McCalla was handling the vocals!!!

[stevesarah]

would this be the same guy who sang with moon in the 80s

[BBBS]

FUCKING horrific cover version of a good song. this guy should make 80s coke adverts for a living... je's that gauche

[bigrexlowlife]

Resorting to foul language in a comment reflects the writer`s lack of intellect and poor education associated with a bad upbringing. I used to be a social worker.

[BBBS]

May I inquire as to why one so erudite as your good self is no longer a social worker? Perhaps the stereotypical presumptions you resort to and lack of familiarity with informal discourse were indicative of one fundamentally unable to be objective in such an environment?

[bigrexlowlife]

Now, isnt that much better . You have to understand that not everyone who is on youtube is over 18 .

[BBBS]

The only feasible explanation here is that you're some sort of profound troll.

Adieu, sir. And Godspeed.

[circusguy]

When on earth did this come out? The royalties off of this song must be how Justin Currie earns his living...heh heh
