  • All the bands on this remake were in a terrible dilemma - they were faced with two choices: do we try to sound as much like the original as possible, or do we try to sound like us, playing the original as we understand and appreciate - even love it? Are we a 'covers band' in this gig, or are we ourselves? Apart from the tribute factor, you can hear in these performances the influence of 40 years of new music since Pepper, influenced by Pepper; a tribute in itself.

  • People have got to stop hating, this is a brilliant cover.

    You're damn right this is a great cover. Spot on.

  • This version sounds a lot like something that would be in a Tim Burton movie. I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Either way,I still love the Fray!

  • @LikeWiseLikeYou If you search for more covers,you'll find that they do a lot of Beatles songs

  • Interesting choice of Beatles songs to cover. Unfortunately, Slade's voice doesn't match the squeaky clean, Transatlantic English charm this song delivers. Paul gives us a very clean, well fetched song with "Fixing A Hole"-- a well rounded tune, clever, glowing with a series of dominant sevenths from another era. Slade seems to dumb down some of those wonderful qualities. Still, a very entertaining rendition. And I liked the end a lot, where he starts to repeat "fixing a hole..."

  • If this what was The Fray really sounded like I might actually listen to them.

  • It's awesome seeing George Martin in this video!

  • @daz300174 Actually, its not the same studio/equipment. This song was one of the very rare occasions on which the fab four recorded somewhere other than Abbey Road. The normal guy wasn't available that day. Now ya know!

  • The instruments are spot on. That's what makes the song.

  • luv it!!
