Gotthard - Mighty Quinn

[paul_oshea]

Im assuming most people wont have heard it(its been around a fair while). Its a great cover, better than the original. Think if it was heard on away trips would be a great sing song.

Its a pity its 10 years too late :D

Isn't there something slightly disturbing about a band called Gotthard singing "come on... the Mighty Quinn"? Just an odd name in general I suppose: Erectus Maximus would've been way better.

Anyway, below is a live version of the song. Some seriously jubilant people in the surprisingly massive crowd, leading one to believe it would be something of a crowd-pleaser alright Paul.

They are swiss, speaking in a foreign tongue, i assume that quells some of the disturbing thoughts you were having.

That fella with the leather jacket isn't too exuberant or jubliant though :D

Why is it suprising, cos you never heard of the band or the cover, or cos they dont play crap indie tight-jeans-wearing-our-parents-are-rich-and-we-are-still-living-at-home-at-27 or cos they play rock music or some of both?! :D

Another band, hammerfall*, which I'm sure you probably haven't heard of either have played to similar sized crowds.

*I dont actually really care for hammerfall, just making a point :D

To put it to you DJ Tiesto is huge in holland and has played to similar also I beleive in amsterdam.
