What do you think???
I'd hunt the little oily fucker down and gun him down in cold blood.
And I'd make sure my firearm stutters as well - pumping a whole volley of bullets into him.

hell, i'd probably shell out a few quid for the cover by everyone's favourite gap-toothed stammering yorkshire lad. if only for that 'william shatner sings...' appeal.
and don't forget, they mentioned him in the 'retro' booklet so GG and NO are already inextricably linked!
I'd nick a few copies, then go out and help Mark The Macc - you never know, the singles might even appreciate in value...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
If (heaven forbid) it ever happened, I'd go and buy every copy I could find in the local record stores and burn the whole lot.

gareth gates, pop idol runner-up:

I think Id at least download ANYONES version of L.W.T.U.A; its that good of a song, I dont think anyone could fail to record at least a half-decent version.
I can think of worse people than Gareth Gates to record it though: Atomic Kitten, Dire Straits, Robbie Williams, Tom Jones, White Stripes, Blur.....

The White Stripes are in there cos they`re the most over-rated band around. That new single of theirs is so shite, but everyone keeps giving it such good reviews.
As for Blur, Damon Albarn said hed now list 'Parklife' as comedy w/ Monty Python. Thats an insult to Python

gareth gates, pop idol runner-up:

Why does he need so many vibrators? Oh this disposable age in which we live..
bit early in the day to be pi**ed isn't it mick?
he would ruin the song, same as he did with the doors light my fire - turned a down n dirty monster into a pop ballad. idiot.

I don't know if you should admit knowing that fact...
Just seeing the title of this thread sent a shiver through me & left me feeling more nauseous than if I'd just washed down half a dozen raw kippers with a pint of warm bleach.
So, no, I probably wouldn't buy it. :barf:
I think all you lot are getting WAY too highly strung with this Gareth Gates thing. Sure, the lad is as charismatic as a wet fart, but someone is BOUND to release a version of LWTUA eventually, why not someone who could legitamately make it a massive hit?
Beats Barney performing it live, anyway. N.O need to either leave J.D firmly in the past, or just let Gates or some other teeny turd massacre the back catalogue....
Originally posted by Hibster ah but people already have released cover versions of the songswans, paul young etc -
Yes true, but Im on about a NEW cover version by someone who the general public is actually familiar with, noit an obscure band or a terrible 80`s star....
it would be good to see a collaboration between the order and gareth. he could also replace gillian on the live dates, he could use his hair to hit the keys on the keyboard and play guitar at the same time, what a sight
no i wouldnt buy it but i'd download it.
