Here's a single of two sides, almost literally. The a-side is great, as you may already know; a track off 'Car Button Cloth', and a very good one at that. However, we're here for the b-sides, you and me, and there are some doozies on this 10".
So, 'Fade To Black' is a Metallica cover, and it's alright. Tell you what, though, if you were ever under the impression that the boy Hetfield could write lyrics then Evan's dulcet tones should knock that idea right out of you! 'Live Forever' is the standout b-side here, which also dates the release to the Oasis-loving period of Evan Dando's past. The solo near the end is superb. 'Keep On Loving You' is a truely chaotic cover of the REO Speedwagon track - well worth a listen/laugh, if only to help explain to your kids why drugs are bad...
1. It's All True
2. Fade To Black
3. Live Forever
4. Keep On Loving You
It's all here. And the photo (below) on the back of the record should have been a clue to the content..!
ha ha. what was he thinking? not a bad cover of fade to black. I think the snores at the end of live forever sum up my view of oasis perfectly. evan's vocals sound just terrible on this record though.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this record and the LP it's off aren't exactly the pinacle of his singing, are they? Drugs are bad, kids.
ReplyDeleteSay, you're not anything to do with the Silver Rocket club Upstairs at the Garage, are you?
he looks like he's auditioning for 'allo 'allo.
ReplyDeleteyes that's me. although silver rocket is pretty much a thing of the past now.
ReplyDeleteAh... Small world! I played bass in San Quentin and Radio Stoke back in the day, with Tom on geetar. Sorry to hear the club's no more, always enjoyed that.
