Guest Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) While not beating the originals I love ‘Brass Against’, so much so I had tickets booked until they changed the date this version of RATM,s ‘wake up’ is great as is their version of ‘killing in the name’ they also cover Audioslave and Tool songs Edited April 24, 2022 by steve-norris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It conveys the heartache, a case of less is more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The singing, as always with Randy Crawford is superb but to me again over produced. I love the sax usually but that intro is over the top.

Oh yes the days when Chicago were a rock band and not an extension of Peter Cetera's ego. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably in keeping with the vibe from the film(s) and Michael Kamen's scoring. Sanborn's Alto features prominently throughout. Same as Clapton as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struck me as a strange choice of cover.... original fairly recent and in the same genre as the Pixies. People normally jump back in time or across genres for covers. They didn't attempt to significantly re-imagine it or anything either, but still worked. Hadn't seen the video before..... very good! Quick Wikipedia search shows that Black Francis only agreed to make a video if it was shot in one take of a live performance/mime by the band. The director had the idea to set up 12 cameras focus on top/middle/bottom of the 4 members, cut into the 4*3 grid in the video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the Pixies take though I wouldn't say it's better than the JAMC original. I agree about it being an odd choice. I've always thought the Pixies style would've been well suited to taking a country music classic and totally bastidising it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original sounds so much of its time and has dated badly IMO and so was due for a bit of freshing up. I'm not a fan of this genre of music in the vid but it's definitely better than the original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
