Re: If the Stranglers did a Nirvana cover.....

I like the TAYRRTOOT Idea, it would be interesting to hear an interpretation of a tune done by the band, but never recorded. This goes for anything else in that category. I don't think l would go down the "recreate the Hans sound" though, a bit niche, and much better, for the listener, to...

Re: If the Stranglers did a Nirvana cover.....

Not usually a fan of cover versions but this is brilliant mate. Love how you’ve Stranglerfied the song. Inspiring stuff, makes me want to get off my arse and start creating & recording music again. 👍🏻 Thanks, Arthur. Do it! Interesting, I like it though i never heard the original (I heard the h...

Re: If the Stranglers did a Nirvana cover.....

You would have to probably remove Daves arpeggio style and try to be Hans - not sure when they dropped that from the set ? Pre Dave ? Is it not the Holy Grail of missing recordings of the Guilford Stranglers, must be worth the effort to recreate ? Ha ha, that would be something, wouldn't it? I've h...

Re: If the Stranglers did a Nirvana cover.....

Any requests? Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree would be mine LOL, I get the reference. :D I remember Hugh being interviewed back in the day about how they wanted to strip things back in the early days, because all the bands had loads of guitar pedals, and that Tie a Yellow Ribbon had abou...

Re: If the Stranglers did a Nirvana cover.....

As promised, l got an in depth critique from my daughter (it was hardly worth it) She replied that "lt was so clever" When pushed for more, she said, "lts cool" So, there you have it, the voice of youth. Quite rare round these parts, though, l dare say. :grin: Brilliant, I'm jus...

Thanks!!!
Thanks, JBD. The humour was important to me, I didn't want it to be po-faced and serious. :D

Re: If the Stranglers did a Nirvana cover.....

That, my friend, was fucking awesome! Great choice for period of Stranglers used, as l think the lyrics do sound a bit Heroes-y. The singing made me smile, in a good way, l forgot you used to do Shug :wink: The music was great too, maybe the keyboard patch could be a bit more Dave-y? Fucking great ...

Oh? That's very strange - all permissions are allowed.

I've shortened the link, see if that helps.

If the Stranglers did a Nirvana cover.....

Hey, everybody! I'm a member of a home recording forum, and sometimes we do recording challenges. A couple of weeks ago, a challenge was set, to pick a track off Nirvana's "Nevermind" and cover it in a completely different style. I chose "Drain You" and tried to do it in the styl...

Re: 12 years too late for the Forum members' covers album - Baroque Bordello

Just a little bump for this, and to report that "The Raven" is well on the way. Drums, bass and guitars all complete, and about 25% of the keyboards. And I'm already up to about 5 tracks on those! :shock: Great stuff! Bring it on. Sent from my SM-S918B using Tapatalk I posted it in the St...

Great song from when their lyrics were so cool.
Ha! I knew I'd ruined it with vocals. :smt044

But thanks for the compliments. :smt003
