Im 61yr now, and I feel the love of their music more than ever. I'm a true fan of Quicksand. But I never heard this cover tune from them. But on RUclips, I came across this song, and it showed the Slip album ? Well who cares I found another mind blowing song from one of my favorite bands who always puts a smile on my face 😊
Unbelievable track! Had the pleasure of hearing Quicksand play this at Bogarts Cincinatti December 1994 and again with Rival Schools "Walter" this past October in Buffalo. Wish they could reunite for a tour. I would give just about anything to see Quicksand live again!
Amazing cover. I lost my mind when I first heard them play this live back in the day. They managed to make this song sound like a Quicksand tune while keeping it true to itself.
I saw these guys open for Anthrax on the Sound Of White Noise tour in 1993. Someone gave some CDs with this song at the main entrance of the arena that held the show and this song was on there. A great track that’s bringing back memories of my first concert.
This band is a true staple of the 90's underground especially in NY. I also think that this song proves my point because I thoroughly enjoy the Smith's version, but these guys found a way to take it to the next level with this version. You know you're among talented musicians when you can take a slower spacey song and do a cover of it as well as adding some grit and crunch to it to make it sound sick. Quicksand was an awesome band and I'm happy to have been a part of this era
I find the way they went with the cover very brilliant. I love both Quicksand and The Smiths and have been a long time Morrissey nuthugger...this is truly a great expression of this song...if you didn't like it, replay it, take it all in...then decide.
Before I knew about this cover I always thought this song would work in a hardcore style. It was always a heavy song with a sense of dispair it's just gone from Manchester heavy to NYC heavy.
The mark of a great band:when they can do a cover of a totally excellent song,and do it justice while bringing something uniquely their own to the table. Baest example of this is the cover of Pictures Of Matchstick Men by Type O Negative,they did it right. 👍👍
That is the only way to cover a song! Especially a classic or well known song, you have to make it your own somehow otherwise why wouldn’t you just listen to the original?
It's not as much a cover as it is a re-invention of the song and I think its great. It's the kind of ingenuity and creativity that made Quicksand one of a kind.
Holy sh*t! Been a Smiths fan for a good chunk of my life and love the original version, but this is the most original interpretation and best cover of How Soon is Now I've ever heard.
@@Yeedeed lol I didn't notice how old your comment was. Speaking of time warps, the reason I came here in the first place is that here in 2021 I'm checking out Gorilla Biscuits for the first time (I actively avoided all that east coast jock/varsity Revelation HC type stuff back in the day) and I went "Walter Schreifels? The dude from Quicksand?!"
Quick question for anyone who owns this vinyl. Bought mine off eBay, noticed that the sleeves looked very good for their age. Bit of a red flag but I bought it anyway. Just got it and played this track and noticed the quality of it is about as good as this video and unlike the rest of the disc. Did I get ripped off or was it poorly recorded?
Edit: Just realized that I bought the SRC reissue that came out in 2012. But my question still stands. Is the original promo better quality than the reissue?
Hey Jimmy, I own the first promo issue. It sounds the same! It's a great master. Not poor quality, it's just different sounds from different engineers. Don Fury recorded this song and Head To Wall and Steven Haigler recorded the rest. Maybe these youtube versions are ripped off the vinyl release because they do sound very similar, I was surprised too
Quicksand is not a '90s grunge band. They have roots in 80's hardcore, in fact most of the band were part of at least one major iconic 80's hardcore band. A 90's grunge band is Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains. Quicksand is not in that category of shit music. I was lucky enough to see Quicksand in D.C. back in 1992- they were fucking amazing.
the term itself was invented by mtv. it's just a means of putting a pretty label on a variety of bands that can't really be said to come from one school of musical thought, but had enough of what mtv was looking for, that they decided all heavy music that is acceptable for mtv is now called "grunge"
i made a really well-rounded reply but here's what it meant; grunge is good, it's just muddy alt-rock and punk, listen to mud-honey i recommend it, and this fits it's grunge label.
Quicksand is basically the post-hardcore band blueprint!!! Definitely not the first, that's debatable to whom, but to me it's Fugazi. However, Quicksand influenced so many other bands, and so many post-hardcore are indebted to Quicksand
Too many negative votes huh? too many to be displayed.. sounds like bullshit to me. This is an interpretation, not a cover. Obviously the original is superior. its that dumb tv show that ruined it for people. Both bands are awesome. deal?
this is a great version of an excellent song. the guy that said it sounds like whales raping each other...way to rip off the tv show its always sunny in philadelphia; i can site the exact episode with that joke...get a new line...your not funny and a hack at that. thanks again for posting cheers!! (A)
@unbridledenthusiasm Whatever, I love Quicksand and Rival Schools as well, but this is seriously, like, not that impressive. They should make it illegal to cover the Smiths.
@wponder12 Pfft. Whatever. I say it's crap. So it's crap. What's going to happen? Are you going to swing your arms like hard core style back in 1995 in the pit?

Love when a band takes a song and leaves their own unique fingerprint on it. This sounds like a Quicksand original.
Exactly what I say about this cover
Just like what Dinosaur jr did to Just like heaven or Kyuss with Catamaran (both absolutely amazing covers, Just like heaven my fav cover ever)
Im 61yr now, and I feel the love of their music more than ever. I'm a true fan of Quicksand. But I never heard this cover tune from them. But on RUclips, I came across this song, and it showed the Slip album ? Well who cares I found another mind blowing song from one of my favorite bands who always puts a smile on my face 😊
Glad this song found you,this is one of there best albums.
I saw them with helmet back in the day.
Unbelievable track! Had the pleasure of hearing Quicksand play this at Bogarts Cincinatti December 1994 and again with Rival Schools "Walter" this past October in Buffalo. Wish they could reunite for a tour. I would give just about anything to see Quicksand live again!
Literally the greatest cover ever
fantastic cover from a great band
Amazing cover. I lost my mind when I first heard them play this live back in the day. They managed to make this song sound like a Quicksand tune while keeping it true to itself.
Agreed, that is how you should do a cover!
I saw these guys open for Anthrax on the Sound Of White Noise tour in 1993. Someone gave some CDs with this song at the main entrance of the arena that held the show and this song was on there. A great track that’s bringing back memories of my first concert.
Very awesome, thanks for sharing
I love Quicksand!!

time to confess: i thought its a Quicksand song when I was a teenager. I still love this version more than the Smiths original
Before I knew about this cover I always thought this song would work in a hardcore style. It was always a heavy song with a sense of dispair it's just gone from Manchester heavy to NYC heavy.
This version of this song ROCKS! I used to have the CD single but lost it and have longed to hear it for years. Thank you so much for uploading it!!!
AMAZING cover

Wow, I love this.
Very simple, great great band one of the best albums ever and a very nice cover!
Wooo! Me fascina éste cover! Excelente!!
Just found this. Amazing Walter. Amazing.
It's not as much a cover as it is a re-invention of the song and I think its great. It's the kind of ingenuity and creativity that made Quicksand one of a kind.
I know this comment is 8 years old but I just gotta point out
That’s literally what a cover is
@@teslacoil5697 i know this reply is 3 years old but i just gotta ask
what are you talking about
Walter Schreifels is my hero!
Mine too...:)
such a GREAT album!! Thanks 4 posting;-)
All said. Best Cover Ever \m/ !
great cover!
Great cover
Incredible cover!
Holy sh*t!
Been a Smiths fan for a good chunk of my life and love the original version, but this is the most original interpretation and best cover of How Soon is Now I've ever heard.
great cover indeed
@anonymouse01 I love this version. It cuts the length -- and the melodrama -- of the original in half.
Has this album but dont remember this at all. I was like 15 so maybe I didn't know about the Smith's then
its not on the cd unfortunately, just the 12”
love.
This is a very charismatic version but I love it💯💯
el medio coverrrr locoooooooooooooooooooo
from what i read hundred reasons based their cover on this version of how soon is now.
So what exactly do you mean(need)? See i already wasted my bong 🙃 now all my bongs gone. 😅
@gr3g0ryd3 it's on the vinyl version of Slip
These boys go alright thanks to Parrish for putting me onto them
Interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about this attempt, except I'm not repulsed. And that goes a long way.
@jackshittle Wow thats kind of a weird fit with those two. Quicksand opening up for thrash metal
It's on the Slip vinyl
@gr3g0ryd3
Accually it IS on SLIP...if you have the LP version.
@gr3g0ryd3
It is if you bought the vinyl.
@gr3g0ryd3 It is a bonus track/b-side, so I just used the album art.
Love this cover 📔 I saw Quicksand open for Anthrax and White zombie in Cleveland back in the 90s what a show that was
I have a copy of Slip with this on it. It's on the LP version of Slip
This was on the Slip album? I had it when I was 12 or 13 and it got so scratched it was worthless...Anywhooo, I don't remember it being on there!
Did you have it on CD? This was a bonus track on the vinyl LP version only.
@@Druffmaul wow, a reply from 10 years ago! Yes I did have it on CD, that explains it. Thanks for the info!
@@Yeedeed lol I didn't notice how old your comment was.

Why this song is not in other music streaming services?
@gr3g0ryd3 this is on the LP version of Slip, at least the one I have.
It's on the vinyl version of SLIP buddy
i used to not like the smiths love them now and i used to love this version of the song and now not so much
idk how i feel about this lol I wish I was listening it without having heard the original
@jacob7207 Are you going to make little girl screams like you did at that Bieber concert 2 weeks ago ?
Amen to that shit.
@punkrockerr agreed
@lookingatcrap Great comment. It's funny how that works
@jacob7207 That's just like, your opinion
Captions would be great 🥲
dudes please post transparent from the slip album..... i'm having withdrawl from it
Hang on a second!!! This Smiths song was actually based on a tragic true life story???
This slaps but amygdala's version is still the best
amygdala covered it??? fuck thats sick
ahí quedó el weco del morrisey
Even better than The Smiths version! (if you're into heavier stuff that is)
it's good, but kind of flat, Smiths version is why more melodic and deep. Heavy does not mean better.
Love both versions
heavy doesn't automatically mean not better.
then again i fucking hate the smiths
I'm into heavy music but the Smith version is iconic
The Meatmen's version puts this one to shame.
This is pretty good but The Meatmen cover rocks harder.
Quicksand is not a '90s grunge band. They have roots in 80's hardcore, in fact most of the band were part of at least one major iconic 80's hardcore band. A 90's grunge band is Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains. Quicksand is not in that category of shit music. I was lucky enough to see Quicksand in D.C. back in 1992- they were fucking amazing.
most of grunge has roots in hardcore, metal and a lot of other genres, what's why it sounds the way it does.. no point in being ashamed of the term
the term itself was invented by mtv. it's just a means of putting a pretty label on a variety of bands that can't really be said to come from one school of musical thought, but had enough of what mtv was looking for, that they decided all heavy music that is acceptable for mtv is now called "grunge"

yeah, smiths version is far superior. Saw Sergio last night with the Deftones. Pure energy
The Meatmen cover is better IMHO but this version isn't BAD.

this is not on slip
It was a bonus track on certain releases
ehhhhh imo they could have done better
THIRTEEN PUEBLO HYACINTH TOKEN ROOT PASS ENV
@wponder12 Pfft. Whatever. I say it's crap. So it's crap. What's going to happen? Are you going to swing your arms like hard core style back in 1995 in the pit?
This is crap. Quicksand is great, but this is crap.
Nobody can cover the Smiths.
This song is awesome and so is quicksand, but HELMET is better, they are legendary.
This cover is criminally vulgar.
I love Quicksand, but this song was not meant to be covered. Especially by a 90s grunge band. Great album nevertheless.
awful
I love the Smiths & Quicksand but this is fucking awful.
