WH Covers Rekkid Reported On Rock-Sound.Net

Whoa I can't wait to hear the Distillers cover can't quite get my head around Ginger doing Brody.

[Damian]

I'm not sure I'd have flagged any of the bands mentioned as obvious?

Well, okay, maybe I'm just sulking that there's no mention of Dolly Parton or Spice Girls covers..

I reckon a version of 'Love Machine' by Girls Aloud would be wicked. But that's just me. But then again that one's been done. Hoping the Icicle Works song is 'Love is a Wonderful Colour'. Wouldn't mind finding out either who chose what tracks.

Arctic Monkeys already did that, very well indeed...

I think Josh Homme would have something to say about that, too.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

[firedup]

yeah I'll buy it. Yeah I'll like it. But this isn't good. It's bollocks. No need for it.

[Keith Richard]

But this isn't good. It's bollocks. No need for it.

Well, there's four rather important guys who clearly disagree. When it comes to art, define "need"

[nig1012]

i think it's really great and interesting how we all clearly love the wildhearts so much an yet we have so many diferent views on this covers album

[PeeCee]

yeah I'll buy it. Yeah I'll like it. But this isn't good. It's bollocks. No need for it.

wow tell me more bro, what else you don't need but keep buying? The WH do what the fuck they wanna do 'cause they're independent and they realese what the fuck they want. A covers album will be just fine. It will be a laugh and I will download it for free first and then I'll buy it.

I just hope this bullshit is not a gossip c'ause I truly believe it could be an awesome covers album.

Talk to you again in a year time.

Love!

Hey there's been some pretty good cover albums in the past, you've just gotta take 'em for what they are a band kicking back and having fun no one has to buy 'em and if anybody's going to pull a good 'un out the hat it's gotta be the Wildhearts especially on the strength of thier previous Pump it Up and White Lies anyone?

[davejnick]

Hoping that there's going to be a Steve Earle song on there. A Wildhearts version of "More Than I Can Do" would be fucking fantastic!

As for the Girls Aloud cover, "Sound Of The Underground" would be a better choice than "Love Machine". A bit more rockin'.

[sonicshake]

I know it's a cliche and Ginger would probably never do it cos it's his favourite song but I would absolutley LOVE to hear them do a cover of 'My Old Friend The Blues' by Steve Earle. Or 'The Week Of Living Dangerously.' Think they could knock out a great version of that! Actually, forget what I just said...they should do 'Here I Am'. They'd rock the fuck outta that!

Oops, getting a bit carried away there...

[spoon_of_grimbo]

i know it's an obvious choice, but i'd like to see a Therapy? cover in there somewhere...

maybe "sister" or "i am the money."

when they did that WH/T? tour, they teased us by starting the intro to 'ten year plan' which i would have loved.

shit, i forgot about ten year plan!!! that'd be amazing if they did the full thing sometime! in fact, anything off "suicide pact - you first" (such an underrated album) would sound cool with a bit of EN-style noise on it, when covered by the wildhearts. sweet holy shit i'm actually foaming at the mouth just thinking about that possibility!

[Dark Lord of Barnet]

Hmmm - even though CJ mentioned the next Wildhearts album would be 'different', I didn't see this coming! I think it will be fun though. It sounds like it will be mainly songs I don't know anyway so I'm sure it will be interesting. If you don't like the idea then don't buy it. Problem solved.

I'm sure nearly all of us will be buying it and probably enjoying it too. After all, you don't think the Wildhearts are going to cover songs that are rubbish do you?

My first thought was "Here I Am", but then I thought it was a bit too obvious. I'd imagine they'd do a pretty cool version of "F The CC" as well....

Actually, fuck it, they should do a whole album of Earle songs!

[Dave C]

I like the idea of a covers album, it sounds like fun.
There's some miserable fuckers on here, lighten up guys, this is fun!
All through out GIngers touring career he's played cover versions here and there, and they were fun. Why should this new album be any different?

Couldn'y have put it better myself. BUT I still can't get that excited about the prospect. Yet.
