❤ I find myself coming back to this. It's been at least 3 years since I came across this cover. I'm still here. Madly in love with this duo. ❤ Mosshart...
Okay, can't we just enjoy the music? Seriously, if you like The Velvet Underground version - go and listen to it. If you prefer this one, then fine. It's not that complicated, is it?
as far as i'm concerned, this is the best version. since it's the first version I've heard. so it must be better. i am 44 years old and i don't think i know one velvet song.
I recognize that mosshart does not have a technically good singing voice, but I love how she changes it up, and how she does patti smith like she is more channeling her than trying to sound like her. there's a difference.
@Kawaiixramen I don't think anybody would say that this is better than VU's original version. No cover will ever be better than the original, it's not possible. But as far as covers goes, this is one of the best I've heard.
@avedic whoa, the lyrics to "cruel summer" actually fits.. "It's been a cruel summer The sun has been hit by the storms My darling was bewitched by another Her black magic tricks stole his heart" "I saw her screaming as she twirled her hair So long and black like the storms She caught my darling's eye and as quickly as the lightning I muttered a lonesome goodbye" "It's been a cruel summer My darling was bewitched by another I could not compete with black head"
i don't understand why everyone always just have to make a comment how someone's cover is worst than the original :DD. well, cover isn't made to compete with the original it's there so the artists can make some kind of a tribute and show their respect and honor of the person the or band they are covering :DD. this is quite a good job btw, and ofc that original is always better no matter what :). the kills =
@ZXEN1 When I said "No cover will ever be better than the original, it's not possible.", again I was only talking about Venus In Furs covers, already mention this.
@bachelorfox Every couple of months someone comments on this video saying something like "Hey man, what do you mean no cover will ever be better than the original that it's not possible, so and so song is WAY better than the original", and I'm just like sitting here on my computer wondering how the hell can people miss the comments where I say I was only talking about Venus In Furs covers... Oh well, just enjoy the tune people, it's a beautiful thing.
This isn't better. ..it's completely different. There is no way to compare. I honestly think of it as a completely different song. And it's a fucking awesome song,
i'm a fan...have been since The Black Rooster Ep (I'm sure it was called) in 2002/3(?) I've read 'Venus In Furs' and would also like to say that this is a whole lot closer to the original 'versions' that The Velvets recorded pre-debut!
Maybe you miss the point....but most (true) artists (like these cats here) covering a great song, even a classic such as this, is mainly to pay homage to it, without hopefully butchering it, and to maybe turn fans, onto (if some don't know), or send fans back to, the source...if its all good all round then its job done. I'm sure you know this and don't need me to remind you...so I'll bugger off now and wrap another one up. Hahaha Peace. Out.
@rogeriovalentee It seems you misunderstood me by not reading the whole comment. It's not your fault actually. It's the way the universe works. And you work with it. So hereby, I forgive you.
@bachelorfox Lets just blame it on RUclips, because sometimes when I view videos the Uploader's comments are the first ones that show up on top. When I replied to you the first time I could see all my comments there including the ones where I say I'm only talking about Venus In Furs, now they're not there, ha.
if allison's "with" anyone these days, it's jack white. just watch any dead weather interview. or read the lyrics to Blue Blood Blues. or read the lyrics to jack's wife karen elson's song "cruel summer" yep...they are most certainly having an affair if nothing else
@notsovelvet 'it's not possible'?! Pardon my french, but you're talking out your bottom, sir. Some examples of the numerous cover versions that are regarded by many to be better than the original: Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower The Clash - I Fought The Law Johnny Cash - One The Beatles - Twist & Shout Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah Arethra Franklin - Respect
I never heard "One" but IMO only twist & shout & watchtower surpass originals. who did original hallelujah? Donald Trump should cover "im beginning to see the light"
@notsovelvet Shout 2000 by Disturbed is a cover of Tears for Fears, and i think the disturbed cover is way better. Hurt by Johnny Cash is WAAAAAAAAAAY better than the original that was made by Nine Inch Nails. Well actually, they're not better in a sense of superiority, but i'd rather listen to the covers than the original songs.
@notsovelvet i don't like kate moss. he's too good for her. she's so stroppy. and skinny. i know it's the industry and her job to be thin but still, someone feed that girl a hamburger! sorry if i've offended ppl who like kate moss but this is just my opinion.
❤ I find myself coming back to this. It's been at least 3 years since I came across this cover. I'm still here. Madly in love with this duo. ❤ Mosshart...
This is easily my favourite velvet underground cover. Loving the shit outta it
amazing cover got that really menacing vibe to it
My favourite VU song covered by one of my favourite bands. This is heaven for me
Okay, can't we just enjoy the music? Seriously, if you like The Velvet Underground version - go and listen to it. If you prefer this one, then fine. It's not that complicated, is it?
Excellent. The acoustic arrangement and the vocals done as a duet gave it a really intimate quality.
this is a great cover.. so is pale blue eyes.
i haven't found a song by the kills that i don't like yet. they're so amazing.
we need a sister ray cover by the kills
+SCNDL3SS96 omg yesss
holy fuck that would be amazing
as far as i'm concerned, this is the best version. since it's the first version I've heard. so it must be better. i am 44 years old and i don't think i know one velvet song.
Good cover. Lovely slideshow too! Thanks.
BLESS THIS COVER
Alison is a goddess omfg
This cover is freaking amazing.
woah! my favorite VU song turned into a cover by my favorite indie punk band?!
Best cover of this song.
More than 10 years on, fuck yeah!!!
I don't argue on which version is the best. Some songs raise above this level. I like the Kills' cover. I think VU would have liked this one.
loved this one
This made me die a little inside from the sheer amount of awesomeness.
Can she do anything wrong?
I recognize that mosshart does not have a technically good singing voice, but I love how she changes it up, and how she does patti smith like she is more channeling her than trying to sound like her. there's a difference.
Her voice has gotten better like wine with time
micah brew
Lou Reed is technically "not a good singer, either"
But holy damn, can he sculpt a song!!!
I didn't realize how many people have tried to cover VU's Venus in Furs.. O____o
Amazing version !!
@Kawaiixramen I don't think anybody would say that this is better than VU's original version.
No cover will ever be better than the original, it's not possible.
But as far as covers goes, this is one of the best I've heard.

I muttered a lonesome goodbye"
"It's been a cruel summer
My darling was bewitched by another
I could not compete with black head"
They should try to get Lou Reed on this.
I bet Alison and Lou's voice would sound really great together.
woah! that was so awesome.
Great cover, thanks

@jimstark100 the verses are Dm and Am7 and the chorus goes into F and C i think
happy birthday VV
I totally Dig this and Dave Navarros version
The instrumentation makes it sound somewhat like Heroin from the same album
@notsovelvet I read recently that she acknowledged he was with Moss and yet she was in love with him
@notsovelvet gotta agree with you... can't see how anyone could improve on the original Venus In Furs
Fucking love the kills so much
@alexgoettge Few years ago yeah, but Jamie is with her now from what I heard and has been for a while.
Increíble!
I love when Jamie sings.. damn they'r hot 🔥
@6thLMNT I was talking only about Venus In Furs, no cover is better than the original when it comes to that song.
@ZXEN1 When I said "No cover will ever be better than the original, it's not possible.", again I was only talking about Venus In Furs covers, already mention this.
♡♡
Nice cover.
Nice cover!
@ValentineBabie14 I'm sure they've fooled around in the pass, but as far as them being together today, don't think so. Jamie is dating Kate Moss.
@bachelorfox Every couple of months someone comments on this video saying something like "Hey man, what do you mean no cover will ever be better than the original that it's not possible, so and so song is WAY better than the original", and I'm just like sitting here on my computer wondering how the hell can people miss the comments where I say I was only talking about Venus In Furs covers...

This isn't better. ..it's completely different. There is no way to compare. I honestly think of it as a completely different song. And it's a fucking awesome song,
Awww fuck yea!!!
Also, there's The White Stripes cover of Death Letter..
huh interesting take, I kinda like it
que lokos tio!!!
@sam19851 yeah I love them i have both of their albums. Do u know if they are working on something new?
@jrjrloreto I agree!! come back kills!
I WONDER IF THE KILLS OR THEIR FANS EVER READ THE BOOK VENUS IN FURES?
i'm a fan...have been since The Black Rooster Ep (I'm sure it was called) in 2002/3(?) I've read 'Venus In Furs' and would also like to say that this is a whole lot closer to the original 'versions' that The Velvets recorded pre-debut!
gary smith
Even the title turns me on!!
Maybe you miss the point....but most (true) artists (like these cats here) covering a great song, even a classic such as this, is mainly to pay homage to it, without hopefully butchering it, and to maybe turn fans, onto (if some don't know), or send fans back to, the source...if its all good all round then its job done. I'm sure you know this and don't need me to remind you...so I'll bugger off now and wrap another one up. Hahaha Peace. Out.
Love this :) Where can i find it?
I like the Record Club cover best. This one's nice though
@Kawaiixramen Obviously the VU original is better but this is a great cover. They did VU justice. Unlike other ghastly covers of this song I heard.
@avedic
i don´t think that alison and jack...no, he wouldn´t do that and hurt his wife
Covers are meant to reinvent a song (Take The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along the Watchtower, Johnny Cash - Hurt, etc) Not copy it.
Look out... The Courtesans have done a mean version of Venus in Furs...
does anyone know where I could get the guitar tab to this? thank you
@rogeriovalentee It seems you misunderstood me by not reading the whole comment. It's not your fault actually. It's the way the universe works. And you work with it. So hereby, I forgive you.

I wondered what that protruding object was... Oh, it's an elephant I think! (02:54)
@notsovelvet my bad, sir. as it comes up as a top comment the context isn't there.
Are they together or just firends cuz ive being wondering !?
if allison's "with" anyone these days, it's jack white. just watch any dead weather interview. or read the lyrics to Blue Blood Blues. or read the lyrics to jack's wife karen elson's song "cruel summer"
yep...they are most certainly having an affair if nothing else
@Theories9 don't worry, even I'm too good for Kate Moss
accostic sounds really good the kills have good tasten music to shoot up to
A good cover but I prefer the Siouxsie and the Banshees version - alot darker and moodier.
This is still pure win though
@sam19851 wow its ur cousin? I adore her she is just as cool as alison on stage imo ; )
@notsovelvet 'it's not possible'?! Pardon my french, but you're talking out your bottom, sir. Some examples of the numerous cover versions that are regarded by many to be better than the original:

not keen on these herberts but this is a great cover
leather!!!
@6thLMNT what? cash's cover of hurt is way better than the original? LOOOOOOOOOOL
I get so sick of retards saying Cash's version is "better" or that it has more "emotion"
great cover now try mine
I love the song (++++++++), I love the kills as well (+++) but sorry, it doesnt match...
I haven't found any cover of this song that completly...
..."Tried" being the word....
it's like a different song. Not bad i liked it but i prefer the original.
are they serious ?
BTO
kind of loses something in this one, I recommend the version instead from Until the Ribbon Breaks-Los Angeles Mixtape
my wife Mosshart trying to seduce me all over again

prejebeno
I liked, "Pale blue eyes"... But you've killed this. Awful.
Wow this Version is just...lame compared to Christian Death' Version of Venus In Furs.
I think Devotchka's cover is much better
@Kawaiixramen nickleback does it way better.
not bad but not as good as the original
@notsovelvet i don't like kate moss. he's too good for her. she's so stroppy. and skinny. i know it's the industry and her job to be thin but still, someone feed that girl a hamburger! sorry if i've offended ppl who like kate moss but this is just my opinion.
As a Composition major that loves porn, this is anime
boring. i dont like it
I don't like this "take" at all.
What a way to butcher a classic, at least it doesn't suck as hard the smashing pumpkins' attempt. Disgusting
Ricardo Sousa Carvalho it sounds good
