Billy Martin - Band On The Run

Fans of Iamaphoney music will probably enjoy this cover version of "Band On The Run" from the lANIACHIMOE Channel.



We are apparently waiting for something to happen in about 16 days.

  11. haha the old Phoney emo voice doesn't quite cut it on McCartney rockers. Also, dude, your guitarist blows. Rank amateur--better off leaving him off the tracks and stick with programming sounds.

  18. It's a decent cover aside from the fact that it sounds more like Leonard Cohen covering Band On The Run (at least the first half does).
    The accent (Denmark? Norway?) sounds a bit like the pronunciation used when the Stars On 45 did their Beatles medley back in the early 80's.

    ReplyDelete
  23. hey, if Phoney is Paul, that would mean Paul entered his own cover contest? hahahaha

    you'd think the bass playing would be better.

    it's almost not a cover; it's more like the original track with the cracky voice thing going on, and in a super low key hahaha. So I guess it's nearly karaoke but a few touches in there to make it seem different.

    What if it's Faul's death? Iamaphoney hasn't always been too keen on Faul, it seems,
    and the "it's time" stuff may be
    about to come to fruition.

    Or not.

  31. There is a fine line between recklessness and courage
    It's about time, you understood which road to take
    It's a fine line, your decision makes a difference
    Get it wrong, you'll be making a big mistake

    Come on brother, all is forgiven
    We all cried when you were driven away
    Come on brother, everything is better
    Everything is better when you come home and stay

    Whatever's more important to you
    You've got to change what you wanna do
    Whatever's more important to be
    That's the view that you've gotta see

    There is a long way, between chaos and creation
    If you don't say, which one of these your gonna choose
    It's a long way, and in every contradiction
    Seems to say it's a game that your bound to loose

    Come on brother, all is forgiven
    We all cried when you were driven away
    Come on brother, everything is better
    Everything is better when you come home and stay

    Come on back
    Come on back
    Come on back to me

    They must be! Have you heard the versions on http://www.youtube.com/group/coverbandontherun

    they fucking stinks..

    Billys song is outstanding, but it ain't no competition. I don't understand why he participated in that contest.Its a kindergarden, its pathetic....don't go there...
    If Billy doesn't get any votes at least he's not voting on himself like the other geezers.
    It is really bad

    ReplyDelete
  51. "Its a kindergarden, its pathetic..."


    Oddly, the cover submitted by a class of kindergardeners was one of the best.

  57. You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them. "Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

    Crowley was a WWII spy who used "the occult" as a cover so people wouldn't take him seriously and because various occult lodges were hotbeds for Intel and spygames, being that they were already clandestine. He dabbled in pseudo-occult stuff but nothing worth anything more than a secret decoding ring found in a cereal box. Paul McCartney is a songwriter and friends with virtually every star from the 60s and a lot from the 70s and even today.

  70. yeah that cover of Band on the Run should finally put to rest the rumor among four kids that Phoney is Paul hahahahaha.

    whomever was playing guitar is not principally a guitarist, either that or it was a kid just learning. The drummer (if indeed there are a few portions with real drums) was totally off time in one key section.

    I like Jude, so nothing personal, but that seems much like a comment he would post, and understandably so. If it were Jude and or Mikey that made the "BOTR" vid, I would say "GOOD JOB!", but it lacks the mojo for me to believe that MR. MACCA made it. It is not even up to par to be considered something MR. PHONEY has made.

    uh, hello? Bad attempt? It's the same crew that made all the other tunes, same singer, and IAN IACHIMOE is one of his channels. They didn't think it was a bad attempt but if you've been listening to any of the other "songs" you'd know it was the same dudes. Obviously he's much better singing stuff backwards than forwards hahahaha.

    I also love how people shit all over Paul here and elsewhere, and one of the RA crew gets all incensed if someone doesn't like their goofy Euro-Pop. Hello? I thought it was supposed to be about Paul, not "Phoney."

    ReplyDelete
  107. Exactly. It's been all about Phoney ever since he started throwing in his own songs, had that video of him in a limo shaking hands with bewildered pedestrians and etched his name on the fence outside of Abbey Road and filmed it.

    Why wouldn't it be though? Can't blame him for soaking in a little youtube fame from his flock out there. Wouldn't you want your own MikeNL breathlessly reporting your every move and hyping everything you do like it was something really fantastic? It's the culture of the youtube celebrity nowadays. I say let him enjoy it.

    yeah why not. The Phoney crew are actually probably the most prolific commenters on this blog hahaha. Self-hype, anyone?

    Anyway, Phoney crew, you can fool some of the people some of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can only fool NIR types all of the time. Which doesn't count. Because they believe everything.

    ReplyDelete
  133. I think the cover is okay, not too bad, and maybe better than some other kids who entered to win a DVD but it gets worse as it goes on, mainly because he's singing it all mellow but the music is still the same basic upbeat sound, so it's incongruous. It sounds sort of like a drunk guy singing karaoke an octave lower than the original.

    Sounds like a lot of sampling and layering going on there. I agree the guitar lines are bad, especially noticeable during the bridge "If we ever get out of here" because it's so wimpy and that part is better if it rocks out imho.
