TGA Covers

hey, Snap, i just watched your vid of Here's Looking At You, Kid, and i love it. you have a great voice, and that song works really well on piano. but now, I have a request. it's of another Frank Turner song, "Father's Day". it's one of the best songs I've ever heard, and i just found a live vid of him playing it, and there's a piano intro, so I think it could work really well

here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEIxL8ZbJOc&feature=related

if it's not too much trouble, i'd love it if you could cover this. i can hook u up with the album version, lyrics, chords, whatever you need

thank you!! i forgot to post the link up on here, so if anyone wants to see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfw0RYbW-0M

sure, i'd be happy to give it a go
i've got the album so i'll try work something out and let you know how it goes. (just got to get over a cold first!)
also i'm working on covers of To Take You Home and Outdoor Type, so it's nice to try something off the first album

how long until the first TGA cover/tribute band is started?

I really enjoyed the Angry Johnny... on the piano! It's awesome!
Just listening to Here's Looking At You, Kid now, and its just as good!

here's 1930, The Blues, Mary, Here's Looking at You, Kid, The Navesink Banks, and, by request of JR, Bleeder

i think they all turned out pretty well except for The Blues, Mary. i did it on one take, and my voice was kinda shot, but whatever. and i don't think i should have covered a song that Brian played acoustic, 'cause it's impossible to top him, but i am pretty happy with my 1930 cover. enjoy, tell me what you think about 'em

and 1930's done

For a split second at the start I thought you were just playing guitar and had Brian's voice going on a tape. That was really good man, do you do your own stuff?

That must be the best TGA cover I've ever heard.
You have a really soulful voice and you sound much, much older than you are.

yeah dude i'm kinda really jealous of your voice, 'cause mine kinda sucks and i can't do all the things i wanna do with it. sick cover. you sound a lot like Brian too. do you actually sound like him, or were you putting on the roughness to sound like him? either way, it sounds good

thank you so much brother, it feels great to hav feedback like this
ya ive always loved to sing-not ever in front of anyone- but the whole rough, raw, and, like you said, soulful kinda sound really appeals to me and its kinda turned into my voice now lol

thanks a ton man, its cool to know that people liked the cover! lol and thank you for the compliment about my voice.. i dont usually sing in front of people but i think ill hit the open mic a little bit more now and i dont know if i sound like him so much like my normal voice.. its not too different when i sing but yes i have kinda tooled my voice to mimic brian a little bit.. ive been workin on it ever since i heard gaslight for the first time in 07.. and its pretty much the way i sing now, im not saying that im trying to sing every song just like Brian Fallon but that his style has influenced the way i sing and i really love and try to capture the passionate, soulful, raw sort of emotion that he sings with. so now its become the way i approach singing i guess.. if that makes any sense! lol its late and im trippin and tired and that might sound like a bunch of random fragmented shit but you get the point lol anyway thanks to you guys for the kind words, they really mean alot since this is sorta my first attempt at getting out there and playing music for people and it makes me incredibly happy that people even remotely dig it!

hey nice Nine Crimes cover too, as long as it lasted that is. don't be afraid to go into the upper register, like you do on the "it's a small crime" part, 'cause it sounds really good when you do

and though i'm just getting into Rocky and don't know that song very well, that cover sounded good as well

hey thanks for the kind words man, and about nine crimes, ya it sounded pretty good till my mind started blanking and i forgot chords and shit lol
i was gettin pissed cuz like i just started to kick it in on that last chorus and i totally fucked up lol ther was a little more i was gonna play on it but i was like im done! lol but overall it was pretty fun.. def gonna play more often at that coffeehouse..

Oh and i think the video is tagged now, "Gaslight Anthem cover" or "old white lincoln" or smthin so people can find it i guess lol
thanks guys for the feedback! its pretty cool

Didn't realize we had this thread! I posted this cover of Nine Crimes earlier, but I think the place I uploaded it was jacked, so here's another go at it:
http://www.imeem.com/people/vuKWpd5/music/M-MyNWIt/nine-crimesmp3/
I'm not going to go into how poor quality it is... but I'll just say that I really need voice lessons soon.

this is TGA covers, bro. that's a damien rice song

Yeah, but you could think of it as a cover of a cover (TGA's cover of Nine Crimes).

I've done the patient ferris whell and OWL, i dont think they're too good, ut hopefully they're alright. Might upload later.

Figured i'd post some covers i did, let me know what you guys think... criticism or advice is gladly accepted

if you look on the song list, there's a cover of old white lincoln. my bf and i did this out of boredom a while back. there are several messups, esp during the bridge. but i'd like to think it's a valiant attempt XD

I'll definitely be doing some sort of TGA cover soon, just not sure which song yet. I'll post the link when I get around to doing it.

EDIT: If anyone reading this has heard my music and wants to hear me do something by Gaslight, I would absolutely do whatever song you asked. So...ask away!

My friend Tim did a pretty decent cover of Here's Looking At You, Kid

I think I might do The Navesink Banks with the new slapback echo I've been fiddling around with. I'll record and post it later tonight.
