New Found Glory posted their cover of "Iris" on myspace. Thoughts?
I personally love it, and think they did a great job.
Listen for yourself: www.myspace.com/newfoundglory
The cd comes out September 18th

Ha ha ha ha. Except the singer isn't actually in the band, he's a guest singer, so probably not.
I applaud them for attempting that song, but people just have to realize they can't cover it. Every cover I've heard sounds off, like the chorus is being sung wrong. Plus, in this version, they took out the dynamics of the instruments and the gritty vocals that made the song, at least to me.
And New Found Glory is actually playing Buffalo tonight. I wonder if Iris will be played (no idea how, seeing as the singer isn't with them) and what the reception will be.

Hmmmm.....I actually think it's decent.
Actually, I kind of like it.
I'm a little pissed, because they totally stole my idea for an electric version of Iris...
But y'know what? I would do it better anyway. XD
Anyway, I think I like it.

I'm usually a curiosity-killed-the-cat kind of person, but... but... I can't even bring myself to click on that, haha.
I died a little bit inside when I read the title and I don't even care for Iris all that much these days.

My first thought was "Why?"...haha. Then when I listened to it...I was like "hmmm...not bad at all". This song can definitely stand on its own.

Dooooooooooooo it.
I don't like it, but it's not quite the disaster I thought it would be.

Okay, I didn't listen to the entire thing, but it actually isn't as terrible as I was expecting. Probably because they got a guest vocalist (I cringe just thinking about their lead singer's voice.)
At least it's more inspired than the Ronan Whateverhisnamewas version.

I honestly don't know what to think.
They put a punkish tune to it I guess...
It sure is different...maybe I have to listen to a lot to like it.
