Skream får dödshot efter sin The Smiths-tolkning

Skream kommer aldrig röra The Smiths igen.

Producenten Skream visade förra året upp en alternativ version av The Smiths-klassikern This Charming Man som möttes av delade uppfattningar. Det har nu följts upp av en nedstämd pianoversion av There Is a Light That Never Goes Out tillsammans med Graham Sampson från tribute-bandet The Smyths. Reaktionerna har inte varit nådiga, The Smiths-fansen har varit uppriktigt förbannade över hur han valt att omarrangera låten. Ja, till och med skickat dödshot. Skream ber The Smiths-fansen sluta och lovar att aldrig röra heliga The Smiths igen.

”RIGHT….

The last time I touched a piece of The Smiths music I got absolutely annihilated…

Let me explain my reason behind this cover please.

Whenever I play in Manchester I end my set with a big Manchester record and last Friday being my return to Store Street I needed a track I hadnt used before..I’ve played all the obvious ones ‘Love WIll Tear Us Apart’ New Order, STone Roses etc etc….

So I picked this track but didn’t just want to play the original..
So I figured out a piano version but couldn’t find an acapella..

I then went on to spend my day listening to Smiths cover band and came across ‘The Smyths’ (www.thesmyths.net ) and contacted them and was introduced to Graham Sampson the lead singer who agreed to re sing it for me….

I wasnt gonna upload it but theres been demand from the people who were there Friday to hear it again and from people who wanna hear it from a video clip I uploaded..

Anyway..Here it is….And to all the Smiths fans please..No more death threats looooool”

Skream har valt att ta ned versionen av There Is a Light That Never Goes ut – nedan hittar ni dock hans tappning av This Charming Man.
