Camper Van Beethoven - Pictures of Matchstick Men (live)

Cool, but not heavy like the Type O/Ozzy cut. Should be heavy as a cover. Purely my op of course.

if you were to listen to the original record version of Camper van Beethoven, you would find it to be much heavier than the Status Quo orgiinal. It's hard to pick that up from a live version that is only recorded with audience mic's. And, by the way, CvB's cover record made it to #1 in the US alt-rock charts.

Great stuff!!

if u like these listen to Cracker, they basiclly evolved from this band

Not too bad actually!

No way!
he has the same fuckin guitar i have!!!
Ibenez...

Great cover - thanks

Thanks. I was sorta kiddin - really. This is good. I was 19 when Status Quo sang the original. (I was laid up in hospital for months and this and Sky Pilot were 2 songs I looked forward to every day. On AM radio - no MP3 players, internet or etc.) Thanks for all the info without ripping me to shreds. I get so sick of that here. I will definitely check these d00dz out cause this is a hoot. Cheers!!

Cool. I have been meaning to post their Pink Floyd cover, plus their own hit (Take the Skinheads Bowling) too (but got too many other things to finish for now)...
What stations did you listen to on AM radio? In the states? Did you listen to WLS, WABC, CKLW, WOWO?

Stats yes. WLS - Chicago, WHB - Kansas City, KOMA - Oklahoma City, KAAY - Little Rock Arkansas. Some station from Omaha dunno call letters.
KOMA played Beeker Street Theatre - FM style before FM took off. heh. Take care.
