    Surprising cover version

    Went to see The Bravery last night in Boston with a friend. I'd only ever heard one of their songs so was ready to go when they played that. But then, out of nowhere, they played U2's An Cat Dubh. Legends!

    By the way, some Liverpool band were supporting them - The Dead 60's. If ya get a chance, chek out their song "Riot on the Radio". Very catchy. Kinda like Franz Ferdinand type of song.
    The glass isn't half full or half empty it's just too damn big!

    Yup, "The Black Cat"

    I have odd covers including Van Halen "Pretty Woman", 'Whenever Whereever' by Mundy, Placebo "Daddy Cool", Jimmi Hendrix "Sgt Pepper", Ian Browne "Thriller"

    Good ones include Velvet Revolver "Bodies" (Sex Pistols), any one by Johny Cash, Fun Lovin Criminals "All the time in the world" & Marilyn Manson Tainted Love, Bell X1 "Volcano".
    As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.
