Spoonman - TheBedlamKids

Far out. Super professional, stellar performance of a great song by a great band. Funnily enough I was just listening to a few of your other tracks and was thinking your voice sounded like Chris Cornell's then this gem popped up. Wicked!

Iv'e always loved this song. You did an amazing job on it bro!

Not sure what the original sounded like but this one was clean and mixed very well

Now thats how you do it guys!Friggin awesome rendition.Snare drum is killer,vocal is the dogs and i better not describe the guitars or i will be deleted from this page ha!Great guitars.stonkin bass.It just sounds like a band i would have loved to be in.good luck.

O.K...I`m just standing here clapping...dont throw me in the mosh pit...I`m too old for that...absolutely great rock track...Ed

Guys,
Brilliantly done. My fav SG song. Fav'd.
Mark.

When I saw the title of the song I was sceptic – getting ready for the worst experience and the slaughter of one of my all time favourite songs. Oh, was I wrong! Amazing work you guys. Your version is second only to soundgarden.
Hats off – impressed.

The Bedlam Kids, now that's what I'm talking about!!!!

K;)

WOW, that's one incredible cover man !
Soundgarden is one of my favs and to be quite honest I cringed when I saw the track post. Thinking OMG do I even want to listen to this ? Not expecting anything on this level. Certainly glad I did. Fabulous job musically and vocally. Damnnn good bro !
Any chance on Rusty Cage or Outshined ?

Thanks for the reply, Mr XpekT. Yes, those drums are very accurate and just the right sound so probably too good not to use.

You've just given me an idea:

Why not try doing a version that is the same structure but make some things very different? So, some very different drums, use of strings, whatever.

Maybe more of a funky powerful psychill version? Not dubstep!

The singing and production is so accurate here that it's almost too good a cover. Too good in the sense that you've really accurately recreated a great song in just the same way.

This not a complaint but, as Pete clearly has the voice for it, why not try the same vocals but over different sounding music?

So, it would sound like Cornell playing with maybe The Prodigy or Chemical Brothers (just examples - I don't mean try to sound like them). That would be really interesting to me to hear as I love a good, alternative cover.

Separately, I've listened to some of your many rock tracks on this site and you have a lot of ability. That recent one with JJ Weekz was great (see my comments on it). Well made music but I think you need more vocals and/or other instruments eg synths. Pete and JJ are good ones to have...

Good stuff, as those Soundgarden chaps would surely agree. You know I'm a massive fan of theirs, though their most recent album is no good and not worth reforming for.

Anyway, I heard this first without knowing it was Pete's vocal and wondered who it was. You do an excellent job of getting somewhere near Cornell, though he's still got a special edge that is really hard to reproduce. That's what makes him one of the greatest alternative hard rock singers of all time.

2:15 scream is very close to that special Cornell overdrive as well as various other bits of phrasing.

Actually, Pete may even sound a bit better than Cornell does these days as I think he's lost it quite a bit vocally. Tough singing like that when you're nearly 50.

I'm struggling to fault the guitar, bass and drums on this. Who's playing the drums?

My one creative idea is to have some other percussive element replace the spoons in that section, though it sounds just fine without.

I generally couldn't care less about straight covers ie ones that make no attempt to rearrange or change the sounds/genre.

But this is such an excellent approximation that Soundgarden fans probably wouldn't notice if they heard this live and weren't looking at the stage.

Listened again and this is incredible...I can't tell you guys how good that both of you take part in this community...to take care about Soundgarden's art is one of the best pledge what I heard here...
Salute, hat's off, Danke

Hey Guys!

This IS the BEST cover in Looperman!!!
1000/1000 :-)

Cornell smiles or feel himself in trouble...

Danke

Nice one! This really made my evening! Rocking all the way!

Amazing effort guys!

Hey, a very good cover! It's very much like the original! All parts are professionally performed! Nice one!

Standing ovation!
No words needed.

Thanks guys!
Domenico

Whoa!!!!! This is freaking awesome, sounds just as amazing as the original. You guys knocked this one out of the park, very very very cool. I can't express how great of a job you guys did. Are the drums from a live set? They were spot on. Great job, standing ovation from me!!!!
