We (CircusAct) recorded a cover of 'Message in a Bottle' when we were in the studio doing our last album - it was meant to go on a compilation but as that fell through we thought we'd just post it up as an MP3 - its at www.circusact.org.uk and www.myspace.com/circusact - please check it out - its both faster and louder than the original!
the originals
better thou
plus
there must be legal problems. In fact there are, myspace don't let you do that!
Oooh, do you think Sting will sue?
FUCK THE POLICE!
Those vocals are AWFUL
No offence, liike.
The Police are my all time fave band, so this was never going to be better than the original. Not even close, in fact.
Taking Back Sunday tried it, too....and failed spectactularly.
In the words of
Paul Calf, The Police...bag o' shite!
Ok stop being harsh to DanP
whats he ever done to you? no, it wasnt great, it was pretty poor but you dont need to tell him that...
Well:-
1) You just did.
2) Is he just expecting us to say we like it? Surely he wants some constructive criticism.
I know, i know
i was attempting to take the piss in a trey parker/matt stone kinda way...obviously failed...
The
bag o' shite comment was for The Police, I thought the cover was a vast improvement. Well done!
Yeah I have to say
I'm normally quite forgiving of vocals but those are fucking shit. You can't seem to decide if you're going to yell it or try to sing it. The "I hope that someone gets my" is the only vocal part that works.
The rest isn't too bad actually.
i quite like that
i like harsh versions of other songs
i actually did a kinda similar thing with it
its a great song, and it works faster and heavier, but thems be terrible vocals.
Machine Head
did it faster and heavier. It was appalling.
no matter what
you do to it, anything touched by the police will still be appalling.
youre wrong
you'll never get my myspace-approval with narrow mindedness of that width.
the police did some shit hot shit for shizzle
Damn straight
The Police were a great band.
...no, really.
In response...
The Police were a great band- FACT!
In defence of the vocals, it was done at the end of recording our last album so our singers voice was a bit fucked and i have heard him sing it better, but excuses excuses.
anyway, if you didnt like that version please dont judge us on it, i prefer our own stuff so check that out! People seem to rate the album and in the one review we've had so far it was given 5/5. Also my mum said it was pretty good but should have more quiet bits.
