Great version of hallelujah.

thanks! hallelujah is amazing... the other 2 videos are great too!

Thanks! i just heard Hallelujah for the first time a couple days ago...and low and behold, Brian covers it lol THANKS BRIAN!

I usually avoid any version of Hallalujah other than Jeff Buckley's + Cohen's.

But that was incredible.

Can someone capture those 3 songs and post em so we can add them to the list

Thanks for the capture! Gonna hold on to this one.
BTW, we gotta coordinate this stuff somehow. I think this session was posted in another section too....

I was choked when i couldn't copy it from the Sun site and youtube just had the one minute clip up. Came straight here though and sure enough.
thanks for the up

I'm gutted that Brian has got involved with this despicable so called newspaper. I'm sure the songs are amazing as usual, but sadly I won't be clicking on any link to the "scum". Hopefuuly the band can gain press coverage in the UK without having to get involved with this lot in future.

I agree that the Sun is dreadful, not just for the Liverpool reasons. I am not sure whether Brian really would have had a notion of 'getting involved' with the Sun.

I do wonder what it means as a measure of TGA's success though, being noticed by the Sun. It is the UK's biggest selling newspaper after all.

You could hardly expect Brian to be aware of the situation with the paper.



And I wouldn't exactly call it "getting involved". They recorded him doing some songs which they'll only be able to show on their site. It's not gonna boost their circulation much.


It's despicible what they did, but I don't think ya can put any blame at Brian's feet.


By the way, feel free to send the guys a mail on MySpace if you want about these goons, it'll get read by them.

Exactly.

I'm from the US, so could you enlighten me as to what's so bad about The Sun?

There's more reading on the specific problem DBTM has with the rag. (I assume)

Guys thanks for the further posts on the subject. As you can imagine this is a subject very close to my heart and I like many others in Liverpool and the rest of the UK are looking for Justice.

I was just surprised to see the link the other day with Brian's session. I understand that Brian and the guys would have no idea about the S*n and its past. I just didn't ever imagine GLA and that paper would ever be linked. I have sent Brian a link via his Twitter account for his info and will do the same to Myspace. Anyway looking forward to seeing the band again later in the year at Leeds and will still be singing my little heart out.

I admit the Sun website is the last place I expected Brian Fallon to pop up.

this board is the best! thanks for this!

Just listened to the Bowery Ballroom bootleg of Brian's solo show and found that my concern about Brian recording a song with the S*n was mentioned by the man himself. I almost dropped my ipod when I heard him talking about some guy giving him a hard time for doing it!

It was just so weird to hear Brian talking about it to a group of New Yorkers!
