"Long Way Down" Punk Cover

A friend of mine just told me about this band called Haste the Day that did a punk cover of "Long Way Down" (sorry, maybe this is old news), which I found rather interesting.
It's only a short clip, but it made me think of that one contest where all these bands did covers of the Goos' songs a few years back. That was entertaining . . .

Speaking of Goo Covers i found that Omar Vizquel cover of Broadway too funny when one of u guys posted it on here a while ago. Out of interest was he joking cos he was trying to sound like how johnny says the words in the song than try and make the song his own. If u get what i mean?

Haven't posted in a while but always reading here and there. At first, i was like..a punk cover?? Isn't the goo like already punk and can they really make the song harder without losing any of its flavor? Besides, usually nobody could even get 10% of the quality of John songs...nobody can really do John''s song. However..WOW...they did a good job. Does anybody have the full version?

I got a full copy of it on ares. I gotta say, it's not too bad, but I don't think anybody should try to cover Goo songs...It's just not the same.

I'm prb on the outside looking in but I do not like this cover at all. I dont like the enoying background voice they do doing the chorus. Dont like the singer's voice either but thats just me. However, I give them props for covering goo.

thats funny in a lot of ways...Man the goos must be feeling like old timers....if their albums/songs are becoming distant enough to "cover" and reference to. I'm going to say what others may be thinking "LONG WAY DOWN IS 'PUNK' ENOUGH DUDES"its probably flattering. But I do not enjoy that cover one bit music wise. the vocals i dont like. but gold star for trying.
