'who by fire' cover by coil

Post by 1014 »

coil made a beautiful cover of 'who by fire on the album 'horse rotorvator'
I have to admit I'm actuall more a coil fan than a leonard cohen fan, but when I found out this song was actually a cover I started listening to more of cohen's stuff.
I really start to love it :)

I know a few people who got into Cohen through his covers.
Unfortunately, no one can be expected to express someone elses ideas as
well as the writer himself so generally I belive they pale in comparison.

I'll look up on the cover none the less.

Anyone who hear the coverband "The Leonard Cohen Event" must agree though, that this is as good as it gets :P

Wow -- sorry to resurrect an ages old thread, but a Coil fan is about the last thing I ever expected to find on this site! I've heard that cover of Who By Fire, and I love what they did with it!

I haven't listened to much Coil in a while....
Now that my ladder's gone
I must lie down where all the ladders start
In the foul rag and bone shop of the heart
