Gotthard - Mighty Quinn

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

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

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?!

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

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