Stone Gods Cover Girls Aloud & Metallica
Come on in to check out Hammer scribe Dave Ling’s report of last night’s Stone Gods show at London’s 100 Club.
Bringing an end to a successful UK tour, the band’s last before starting work on a successor to their ‘Silver Spoons And Broken Hearts’ debut, last night Stone Gods stunned a sold-out audience at London’s 100 Club by including a metalized cover of Girls Aloud’s ‘Something Kinda Ooh’ as an encore.
“Our decision to play this song has, to say the least, been pretty controversial,” Richie Edwards explained from the stage. “Some people absolutely love the song we’re about to do, others think we should be strung up by our thumbs – or some other appendage – for even considering it. But to be honest, that makes me want to play it just a little bit more.”
Bizarrely, Stone Gods also included a version of Metallica’s classic ‘Whiplash’ in their performance. The full set-list was:
‘Don’t Drink The Water’
‘You Brought A Knife To A Gunfight’
‘Making It Hard’
‘Wasting Time’
‘Magdalen Street’
‘Lazy Bones’
‘Whiplash’
‘Knight Of The Living Dead’
‘Start Of Something’
‘I’m With The Band’
‘Defend Or Die’
‘Burn The Witch’
‘Something Kinda Ooh’
‘Oh Where ‘O My Beero’
How did the SG’s version of ‘Something Kinda Ooh’ compare to Cheryl Cole and company’s original? Don’t ask us… we always watch their videos with the sound turned down, obviously…





why the fuck not. good on em
Was Mr Ling wearing a rather fetching ‘BLS’ jacket by any chance last night? If so, I was standing next to him at the back and would have said good on yer for the Shinedown review in the new issue!
Black Spiders rocked like a bastard last night too – good stuff!
Covers are best when a band does a song in their own style. Cradle of Filth – ‘Hallowed be They Name’ is ace!…although the least said about Tori Amos – ‘Raining Blood’ the better…
Would be intrested in hearing that!
