Covers for Major Major?Has anyone got any ideas of covers that we could do? Now....i mean ones that would suit us a band (so no rare but weird radiohead bootlegs emmersoN!!!!!) If you think of original covers ( u know wot i mean!) ones that have never been done before that would be great! doesnt matter if they have though! |

Nah, its gotta be Idioteque all you need to buy if an analogue synthesiser you can get a cheap one for around £3000. Alternativly if you don't want to pay that amount of money(or don't want to have to dance round on stage like Thom Yorke) Should i stay or should i go by The Clash would be a good song for you to cover. |
||||||

http://www.analoguesystems.co.uk/rssystems.htm#RS8000 Yer get the rs200 and the rs8000 best £4000 you'll ever spend - there's even a picture of god himself (jonny greenwood) using them both on the website. On a more serious note (hahahha note and we're talking about music... nevermind  ) I would enjoy a few bars of "Follow Me Around" before the hustle...

| jamie |
i think you could do a mean version of johnny b good | ||||||
| Gibbo |
I'd love to see you tackle a Beatles song, although obviously not a really famous one. "Back In The USSR" or something. And your whole use of backing vocals on a lot of songs would suit "Damaged Goods" by Gang Of Four down to the ground. | ||||||
| James |
I know I've mentioned this but: Sweet Dreams; although it has been covered - still pretty original, and you guys can put your own style on; which potentially could sound fantastic | ||||||
| Gibbo |
You'd need a sexy female vocal though to make it work.
"Brand New Cadillac" by The Clash - a really underrated Clash song! |
||||||
| James |
would'nt really - marylin manson did it in a real goth way, although not the style that major major should do it in!
James Blunt covers, noone has done them....maybe for a good reason! |
||||||
| Louis |
Mamma Mia by ABBA | ||||||
| Dave |
Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks | ||||||
| Dave |
How about Turnin' Japanese by The Vapors?
I'm not sure how well you would do it but I can guarantee that it would be the most hilarious thing I've ever seen |
||||||
| EmmersoN |
Why did I always think that was by the kinks? |
||||||
| Louis |
Made of Stone by the Stone Roses would be good | ||||||
| Ditajane |
because youre special |
||||||
| Gibbo |
I like the Kinks but much of their stuff sounds the same. "Sunny Afternoon" is a brilliant song though, I love it muchly. | ||||||
| EmmersoN |
|
||||||
| StinkyP |
Hows about Buzzcocks - Orgasm Addict? Boss song. | ||||||
| Conor Major Major |
Like that song but i prefer "Ever fallen in Love" | ||||||
| Ditajane |
me too, although they are shit live.
old bastards dont come back to m street again *shakes fist* |
||||||
| StinkyP |
The Clash - Brand New Cadillac. Boss song. | ||||||
| Dave |
I bet they're shitting themselves now "Oh God, she's waving her fist, run away!" That's the funniest mental picture I've imagined since Mr Chimpspank |
||||||
| Ditajane |
yes they are shitting them selves.
all i need to do is unplug the life support machine and thats the end of them. |
||||||
| Major Neil |
i thought the buzzcocks were BOSS live. saw them at mathew st festival! | ||||||
| Dave |
Yeah some of their relatively unknown stuff sounds just like their hits but when they do get a hit, it becomes a classic. You Really Got Me, Lola, Waterloo Sunset, Days, Dedicated Follower of Fashion and Sunny Afternoon are all excellent and would all definitely be somewhere in my top 100 songs |
||||||
| Gibbo |
I did wonder what the Buzzcocks would be like reformed. I wish I'd been able to see them. If they were shit I wouldn't be surprised - the only decent reunion recently has been Pixies; Dinosaur Jr. and Gang Of Four were apparently shitty. Plus Cream are old and useless now. | ||||||
| StinkyP |
Please don't mock Cream. It huts the heartstrings. However; Dinosaur Jr. were absolute shit at Leeds: the worst band I saw all weekend; how they've survived as a band, I have no idea. |
||||||
| James |
I got the Kinks hits a bit ago, and was surprised by how many I knew but didn't know they were by the Kinks. Sunny Afternoon one my favs |
||||||
| Dave |
Not as good as when you did it on karaoke 
|
||||||
| James |
was that that 1?!? I didnt even kno it wen I sung it on karaoke! | ||||||
| Dave |
Well you did, it's that one with "I gotta big fat mama, tryin to squeeze meee" then you kind of all trailed off at the end when you go "in the summertime........
it was hilarious |
||||||
| James |
oh cheers, yeah, your effort was no fuckin better!
Right, next time we go out, whether there's karaoke or not, your singin! |
||||||
| James |
No offence to Liam, but I think you should do an acoustic version of a popular song, or even one of yours; that would be good | ||||||
| Major Neil |
Take Me in Yours by Squeeze
duno y im suggesting, i should just talk 2 band really!!! |
||||||
| Dave |
Do a cover of a song that has no guitars or drums like.....er.....Beethoven's Ninth | ||||||
| Elgi the Woo |
He could play the tamborine, or dance around like Bez, hahahaha. I think you would do a good job of "Love Machine" then maybe you could meet Girls Aloud and they'd all be my friends. |
||||||
| StinkyP |
I've had all five of them. The ginger was shit. |
||||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
i think love machine would be great. honestly i do. this is not one of those stupid things that gets said on the forum. | ||||||
| Conor Major Major |
Hold on? Stupid things get said on this forum? I think you've been at the wacky backy! | ||||||
| jamie |
if you did wuthering heights you'd become my most favouritestest band ever. moreso. | ||||||
| Dave |
That'd be great, they could do a rock version of it, that'd definitely work
plus it'd be funny seeing if Conor does the high notes |
||||||
| James |
everybody wants 2 be a cat, in the aristocats!! | ||||||
| Louis |
thatd be brilliant |
||||||
| Dave |
If you play She Drives Me Crazy tonite then I will personally give all of you one of my adopted daughters | ||||||
| Daniel_Owens_From_Caldies |
how about...usher - yeahand add your style to it? get da picture? |
||||||
| StinkyP |
Hehe. You make me laugh! | ||||||
| Elgi the Woo |
I'm up for Karaoke! |
||||||
| Pawl |
COVERSi think you should cover either 'can't explain' or 'my generation' by the who, it would be like two overwieght men making love to my ears! |
||||||
| Louis |
Wuthering Heights, come on | ||||||
| Gibbo |
I know some of the band are fans of The Clash so I say do "Guns Of Brixton" - the live version (on Live: From Here To Eternity) is very different from the studio version and is fucking awesome. | ||||||
| Major Neil |
covers we gonna learn very soon are:
you never can tell-chuck berry suffragette city-david bowie town called malice-the jam |
||||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
are they? | ||||||
| Major Neil |
the short answer is yes the long anwer is blobby blop blop tiddle fuckk woo woo nany ning nong shooby foodle waza thangy wangy shropo probolong giggla turd word yes | ||||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
did you rehearse on sunday? | ||||||
| James |
shouldn'y you know? - you're in the band I think | ||||||
| EmmersoN |
sssshhhhh it was a secret dont blow it james! | ||||||
| Conor Major Major |
haha. Yes we did Liam, it was OK and we got some lyrics down for "Inspekta G" But now we hate them...as is the way of things
Lets learn The Importance of being Idle aswell. OK? |
||||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
ok
i havent got any of these songs so if you guys do i would like them please |
||||||
| Conor Major Major |
Ok. When are you back from Leeds? | ||||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
Wednesday evenin. if you have em you could give them to me on thursday at the gig. | ||||||
| Conor Major Major |
Sounds like a plan. By the Way ring Major James for details about the gig on thurs as I kno nowt about it | ||||||
| Dave |
Hey hey hey no band talk! You're ruining the magic of how you work | ||||||
| EmmersoN |
and they are so well organised! | ||||||
| Charlie |
Going back to the original idea of the post....
well i think Major Major should do a cover of Panic! At The Disco! Mabye 'I write sin not tradgies' or 'Lying is the most fun a girl can have with her clothes on' You's would be absoluty amazing at these songs - even though you already are! And plus they are very catchy and upbeat - straight up your street!  x x x
|
||||||
| jamie |
|
||||||
| Charlie |
What with the face Jamie?!
I think its a good idea!
|
||||||
| *amy* |
heyme 2 yano charlie an i knew u wud say panic! at the disco! ur obsesed with it lol |
||||||
| Dave |
I was very impressed with the two cover songs performed last night at Kit's house (Make Me Smile and Town Called Malice). They were expertly done and were a perfect choice. Maybe it was the drink, or maybe the raw potato I ate for no reason or maybe I just enjoyed them because they were just done so darn brilliantly, well done | ||||||
| Conor Major Major |
Thanks | ||||||
| Ben1 |
how about 1977 by the clash, you can all play it already as you can play All day and all the night by the kinks. | ||||||
| Ben1 |
You could also play last of the small time playboys |
||||||
| Gibbo |
Isn't that the worst song of Morrissey's new album of godawful crap?*
*may be some bias there |
||||||
| EmmersoN |
Nah, the morrissey song is The Last Of The Famous International Playboys which I haven't heard but I have heard of so I don't think its on his most recent album! | ||||||
| Gibbo |
Oh then it must be the Dirty Pretty Things one. Must have been influenced by Morrissey though | ||||||
| EmmersoN |
Yeah the names of the songs are clearly based on one another (I can't be bothered checking which one came first!) | ||||||
| Ben1 |
Nothing, I said nothing | ||||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
no one is suposed to know |
||||||
| Conor Major Major |
I think it is because Last of The Small Town Playboys has the same chords as Espadrilles. Sounds Nothing like it though | ||||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
oooooooh
edits are confusing |
||||||
| EmmersoN |
Indeed | ||||||
| Ben1 |
I cant even remember what i said, | ||||||
| EmmersoN |
I can | ||||||
| Conor Major Major |
You know all though | ||||||
| EmmersoN |
I forgot why Neil called you a bastard in that thread! (athough there were so many possible reasons!!) | ||||||
| Ben1 |
(upside down ?)Que es? | ||||||
| Dave |
Everybody's got something to hide (except me and my monkey)- The Beatles
I think we talked about this ages ago but you should definitely do a cover of it, it's perfect High notes to prove Conor is a castrato? Check Not as well known as other Beatles songs making it good cover material? Check Cowbell? Check Bit where music stops and you sing 'come on come on' repetitively in a quirky Major Major type way? Check Strange legal loophole entitling me to royalties? Check It's perfect |
||||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
wow
someone could gestate a baby in the space between those posts |
||||||
| Scratch-n-sniff |
I'm at work in the hospital right now and I can tell you somebody did! | ||||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
i literally lol'd at that post
yes dave litterally |
||||||
| Dave |
I had to do something to pass the time |
