No Way Sis 'I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing' Vs 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' by The Complete Stone Roses

what the hell

wait why is he whispering

okay now I think I understand why my Scottish co-worker was so in love with Seahorses, if these were the other options at hand

If I'm reading the video info right, Peter Hook actually co-produced the Love Will Tear Us Apart cover. I kind of admire how that guy has absolutely no reverence at all for the music he made when he was younger.

Wow. Didn't spot that. There is pretty much nothing that this man won't do to ensure his legacy remains intact

did you mean "intact" or "in tatters"

This is the music promo video for a re-worked cover version of legendary "Joy Division/New Order" song "Love Will Tear Us Apart" performed and recorded by Scottish tribute band "The Complete Stone Roses"

Mike Love vs. Peter Hook poll, anyone?

who decided it would be a good idea to name a charity "CRUK"

I mean, it reads like a phonetic rendition of a death rattle

Haha Dan.

These are both terrible! can not choose one over the other.

I initially assumed it was for an anti-domestic violence organisation. I suppose it's OK to make fun of it now

I don't know, "I'd Like To Teach..." is just a little sad and boring whereas that rendition of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is almost "Friday"-level in terms of sheer ineptitude re: making sensible artistic choices for a song

xp: I'm not making fun of what they do! I just think the name is terrible.

I used to know one of the blokes in No Way Sis. They are terrible though. I was dragged to see The Complete Stone Roses while very drunk a few years ago, they were entertaining enough, but I'd rather have just been in the pub listening to the actual Stone Roses on the jukebox. There is NO reason why either of them should have a recording career.

I kind of admire how that guy has absolutely no reverence at all for the music he made when he was younger.

I actually do, too. Irk the purists, it's a right good laff, as Sartre once sang.

I feel like the No Way Sis effort sounds a lot more like Oasis than the Complete Stone Roses one sounds like The Stone Roses. Which I guess would be a very good reason to go for the former.

Possibly, but (can't listen to them as yet), a reason to go for the latter is that maybe the 'complete' Ian Brown can sing?

Hooky and Boony haven't exactly helped matters by overdubbing their ill-fitting trademark sounds

I see Clint Boon is in trouble...

He apparently told people via Twit that Ian and John met recently at Mani's Mum's funeral, and posited that "who knows, it'd be great if they did (reform the SR's)"

At which Mani somewhat pointedly denounced the 'chatter' at a private occasion.

lol until Geir explicitly named it, I was completely spacing on the No Way Sis/Oasis connection

I think this means I have finally successfully forgotten Oasis! ^_^ at least until this thread ;_;

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
