Great 'Stay' cover by Temper Trap

[jonnytakeawalk]

I normally hate all U2 covers but this is great..

Session acoustique OÜI FM The Temper Trap - Stay (reprise - U2).wmv - YouTube

Helps that the band sounds so much like U2 anyway!

That's pretty cool

Hopefully it inspires them to write a song that's half as good.

Well according to Edge they copied Streets, The Temper Trap Returns Fire On U2 - @U2blog - U2 news and discussion

I personally love both bands though

Lol. Agreed. They are normally very awful.

Seeing them tomorrow @ Future.. Hopefully they cover it

I've seen them three times now. At the Forum the year after Conditions came out, at Pyramid and opening for Coldplay. No interest in seeing them again. I'll see you at Bloc Party.

I'll be seeing them mainly so that I can snare a decent possy for the Roses. Not sure if I'll be there for Bloc Party, might be at Avicii... The Prodigy/Avicii/Bloc Party clash is very unfortunate.

 

[cobl04]

I can understand seeing Prodigy over Bloc Party. But Avicii?

Big popular dance acts, will be an incredible atmosphere. And also a compromise I've had to come to, dragging my girlfriend along to the the Roses beforehand.

I couldn't believe how many people were there for Avicii. Great atmosphere but just realised yesterday that dance music may not be my thing. Temper Trap and Bloc Party were highlights for me yesterday, Rudimental too.

Pfft. I walked past Aviici after Bloc Party finished and wouldn't you know it, Levels sounded exactly like the other 500 times I've heard it. I heard his set sucked. And this is coming from a guy who went to a four-day non-stop dance music festival and was at a nightclub til 4 after Future. Uninspiring. Stone Roses were the highlight for me.

 

[cleazer]

No offense, but this version pales in comparison to the Craig Armstrong version in the other Stay thread.

 

[intedomine]

Avicii was alright, but too far back, would have preferred to be amongst it in the D Barrier - should have stuck around for Bloc Party (played my fav song of Silent Alarm to open - and that is all I saw).

Stone Roses were sensational, managed to snare a possy second-row amongst mostly Pommy geezers. Temper Trap, Gypsy & Cat and Rita Ora were up there too.
