Mr International is playing covers
Today, I decided to become intertional. So and until it will break my balls (sorry son), I will write in English. I mean in bad english. First of all,The Cure is playing in Paris on the 12th of march in Bercy. Will i go and see them again? I don't like gigs in Stadium (it's like impersonal puppets show with an awful sound). But I am a massive fan of Ze Cure. What esle? At the time, I'm playing some covers on my own (trying to sing as well as I can, but in fact it's not very bright), but there's something interseting in those songs. I'm playing them on accoustic. I'm playing a low version of "love will tear us apart" and it begins to sound quite rigth. I'm also playing "Boys don't cry" in a funky/ Jazzy way with the same chords but going in reverse (something like D / C#m / Bm /A for verse) and I must admit the idea is intersting (the realisation is still hesitating). I've got a low version of "Walk on the wild side" that I've have been playing once with the band and a speedy version of "pale blue eyes" but alittle bit too short. I'm playing a C/F#/G/Gm shity version of "Creep"from Radiohead. I'm playing a good version of "working class hero" which I think is better than the one from Green day. I've got a folk version of "in between days" from The Cure. And finally I try myself on "wish you were here" from Pink Floyd, but my singing is truly bad (my friend Hugo has got a much better voice to sing this kind of song, like for exemple his version of "father & son" that is killing). PS: Once Hugo playing bass & singing and Olivier playing drums have made an incredible version of "the river" from Bruce Springsteen. I'm still amazed of it. It was so good, I couldn't play a single guitar note. And to end with this post, we have tried to perform some others covers with the band: "passenger side" from Wilco, "Roxanne" from Police, "Knocking on heaven's door" and a trashy version of "I wanna be your dog". I also remenber a try on an Afghan Whigs song, but I never succed in playing the chorus and a very aproximative "here comes your man" from the pixies.
