Song: Blessing | HHT | Live in Lorsch, Germany (June 26 2006)

Danke.

internally, they were probably thinking, "Shut the @$#*% up crowd!"

Ohhhhhhhhhhh großer Hanussen. Gib mir Energie.

whats the name of the actrice?

genial!

@davegriggs1 Of course, there's something to your accuses - but just look how humble they've become. The formers number 1 hit wonder became a songwriters combo with only a few of the original members left. Those who stayed seem to like it. You can't stay young forever, you know? Once in a while the days comes, when you've got to leave fighting to the younger ones and get yourself a little rest for whatever remains from your life...

"Remember to kick it over". I quite like Chumbawamba, but hypocrisy springs to mind.

@Herodias2512 Jou, wir waren auch erst in letzter Sekunde eingetroffen, um die Sprengung noch zu sehen. Seinerzeit war ich 2x im Kaiserbau drin (als er noch stand) - war damals eine Art "Herausforderung"; weil da ja auch Leute von runtergesprungen sind und der Kasten deswegen mehr schlecht als recht bewacht wurde. War auch ein bisschen knifflig, da hochzukommen, weil die in den Stockwerken 1-2 alle Treppen rausgehauen haben - aber wir waren jung und haben's geschafft...

I like it I think it's a good interpretation. That's what a cover should be. What's teh point of doing a like-for-like cover.

Ja, ich erinnere mich als wäre es gestern gewesen. Diese Sprengung fand am Sonntag 13. Mai 2001 um 8.00 Uhr morgens (Muttertag) statt. Diese Sprengung hatten wir aus der Luft gefilmt und in dem Independent - Film "Mutation II - Generation Dead" mit eingebaut. Unser Pilot hatte seinerzeit den Schlüssel seines Fliegers vergessen .....

..... und wir mussten im Eiltempo schauen, dass wir den Schlüssel bekamen. So war es dann, dass wir gerade auf den Punkt genau rechtzeitig zur Sprengung über dem Gebäude waren. Mein Gott war das knapp. Ich erinnere mich auch noch als Jugendlicher an den Komplex, wollte da auch immer mal rein, schon zu der Zeit, als der Kran noch am Gebäude stand ........

Schaut euch die Sprengung von WTC7 an, das ist der Hammer!!

Geil :D lol

@quelian yeah covers are great when their different. if their different - and good! but at the end of the day, how often do u wanna listen to traditional folk music? Maybe some peeps whack it on when their cruising through Sprotbrough on their barge or something. Saying that their song about "if you want to find the general i know where he is" popped in my head the other day, but that wasn't a cover version of a classic, that was a piece of history as it was probably meant to be.

@brassknuckletrash as much as I love Chumbawamba i'm not feeling this fucking awful folky christmas carol version of bankrobber. some songs shouldn't be fiddled with. had they had too much fukin egg nog and chocolate log?

bahhhh???

It's called a folk tradition. Chumbawamba's point is that there's not so much difference between the issues of today and people's struggles in the past. And what's the point of covering a song if you're just going to try to sound like the original?

Great stuff.

It sounds like a fucking church group, absolutely terrible. If you're going to take on a clash cover, which is respectably lofty, bring some originality at the very least.

Fucking Knobs , Sacriledge.....

war auch live dabei.. finds schade, dass er gesprengt wurde.. :(

and a walla walla erdispouilly coklywocker to you too

This SUCKS!! >:O

I really got into Chumba in the early 80's in the UK - saw you with Slavedance in East London & you made everyone stand up & take notice when you started with "Revolution" - I still remember it well. Bought most of your stuff for a few years after that. Are you coming to Barcelona in the future? It'd be great to see you play.

SHHHHH...

truly, t'is quite horrible how artists nowadays reinterpret good old songs!

a capella is christian..?

if this song was from nowadays, the clash would've sing it that way :-)

this is shitty......the clash fucking HATED this band

Christians?!? - ROTFLOL......

christians? this band is full of anarchists

looool

sorry for this shit the clash!!!

give me a break asswipe!

This is a nice cover but The Clash do it best.

Does anybody have Chumbawumba doing "TUBTHUMPING" live from the Brit Awards (telecast in the USA in 1994)? That's when I first saw & heard this band.

Or, er,..., was it "pictures of starving children...", the first album.? I don't know. The late eighties/early nineties are a blur. Speed & cider - what a classy combination.

A really great band. Started on a high note with "Never mind the ballots" and pretty much kept the standard up throughout. Intelligent, thought provoking lyrics, great musicians, great live shows. Wage peace!

mir auch...

i like the clash version,but they did good one also.respect to this guys!

Very odd - I stumbled over you Chumbeez ten years ago, when my now-ex boss handed me over the Tubthumper-CD we finished just for EMI and I immediately fell in love to this music. Nowadays I still like to listen to Tubtumper, but I feel it's a very mediocre album compared to the rest of your works. I really LOVE the stuff on "Readymades" and "Un" - will always be a part of my life! If-It-Is-To-Be-It-Is-Up-To... YOU! ;-)

Hey - wow! You're welcome! "Boff" You've been my favorite dude from the band, since I had to finish the PrePressProduction for "Tubthumper" on behalf of EMI Germany (the "building", you played in front of on the upper video ;-).

The comments are mine, Boff, from the band. I don't speak for us all, obviously. We have to have a meeting for that! (Half-serious). I don't wanna read stuff about us or Blaggers or whatever that is just hearsay.

...just am minute - "WE?" -??? HTF are you? ;-)

Years (and years) later, we signed to EMI Germany. There was no longer any connection to all the shit arms-manufacturing companies that EMI was involved in during the '70's and '80's. We researched it really well. There was no part of EMI that had any connection whatsoever to anything dodgy... other than (of course) being capitalist wanker conglomerate corporate swine.

They spent a ton of their advance from EMI on an advert in the NME supporting Anti-Fascist Action. Respect to them for that. We never had any problem with Blaggers then, or since.

(Continued) When Blaggers signed to EMI (and we knew them then, played gigs with them, talked to them) we publicly said, OK, we wouldn't do it, but we aren't going to slag off Blaggers for that 'cos there are good reasons to do it, good luck to 'em. We were aware that they had no money, no record company etc, and in that situation we just thought, "do what you think to make a go of it."

Of course I don't mind if you just don't like Chumbawamba and whatever crap it is that we do, (that's fine) but it's not right to say we slagged off Blaggers ITA. That's absolutely the opposite of the truth. (more to follow)

Don't know which event you're referring to (blaggers ITA?) - EMI is the record company (the german dependance, nowadays "EMI Music Germany GmbH & Co. KG / Capitol Music") which held them under contract, when the Chumbeez hat their "major mainstream output" (Tubtumpher, Timebomb etc.).
