RealAudio of the long awaited Beat On The Brat from the Ramone's tribute album

Here's to hoping the new album has the same kinda guitar sound that this one does... woo hoo.

Thank you Mr_LeMon!

 

[follower]

Yup...another thank you Mr_LeMon

This cover is really cool.

 

[SkeeK]

Monsieur LeMon once again proves he is The Man

 

[typhoon]

I like it, but usually they do more interesting things with their covers; this is basically the Ramones version with Bono singing instead. Edge doesn't bring any of his style to it.

 

[spanisheyes]

Thanks Mr_LeMon...sounds awesome!

to be fair typhoon, when covering bands you admire (especially ones that have dead members) you dont usually try and "one up them" if you know what i mean.

 

[Zoomerang96]

why am i not seeing it

Yeah, but listen to "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" or "Fortunate Son." Usually they think of a clever new way to play the song. Still, it's U2 covering the Ramones, so I love it.

Yes, even 'Everlasting Love' and 'Can't Help Falling In Love' are unique. I love their take on 'Satellite of Love' as well. I must admit, this version of 'Beat on the Brat' is the most plain a cover I've heard from U2. Still nice to hear brand new U2 though!

 

[elevation]

cool!

To be quite frank, I think the cover is rather cool - for no other reason that it's good to hear U2 doing a true rock'n'roll song - even though it's not their own

 

[Mr_LeMon]

why are the sigs cropped? :/

 

[DiGi]

gracias

 

[IWasBored]

i think it's really cool.

not that it matters what i think, but i do think it's cool.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

It is nice to hear U2 sound like a punk rock band. Maybe this is a hint of what is to come.

 

[typhoon]

Another excellent U2 cover that I remembered: "Don't Take Your Guns To Town." Now that was an interesting take.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

yeah... why are the sigs cropped? wankers...

back to the subject at hand... there's not a whole lot you can do with a song that really only has like 5 lines... if u2 woulda tried their little "we can't sound like a guitar band, it's been done before... through in some loops" style of over producing that they get suckered into every now and then (over eno-izing themselves, i like to call it), i think it woulda sounded silly... all the bells and sirens and reverb and whatever other silly sound word you can think of in the background just doesn't go well with "beat on the brat, beat on the brat, beat on the brat with a baseball bat"

 

[DebbieSG]

ooooh, thanks Headache in a Suitcase and Mr_LeMon! Not the typical Edge guitar, but crisp and brash...i like it!

i do not subscribe to the philosophy of this song, though

 

[rafmed]

nice cover, raw

 

[zoocarolina]

Thanks!

 

[Giant Lemon]

Very cool! Thanks!

 

[martha]

At first I was thinkin' that I liked the music, but the vocal was a little queer, but no! Repeated listenings at high volume have converted me. I fucking LOVE this!!!!!!!

Ramones were great!

Heheh, I wholeheartedly agree, but I think in a couple years we'll look back and think of Beat on the Brat as pure novelty. I wish I could say differently. This cover has a sensibility that many of the people on this board seem to be looking for in U2's next album.

 

[typhoon]

Um, perhaps it's a subtle way of telling you that your sig is too damn long.

So what are you saying Pub Crawler? hehe No, I think I know, and I agree. I think that this cover is good as a cover, but if this is what the next album sounds like - sure it will rock, but where's the magic? I find it odd that people want an album to rock before they want that intangible magic ingredient that we have come to expect from U2 circa '84 to '93.

Is that what you were getting at?
