Lagwagon is one of my all time favorite bands. I prefer this version of this song. It's THAT good.

[@chase36chase]

this nostalgia fells like fire in my stomach

[@trevorsartwork]

3 years later and I still love this cover!!!!

[@creep666]

This cover still gives me goosebumps to this year! Fuckin amazing!

[@strydersound]

I still can't stop listening to this. Thanks dudes!!!

[@Strizz484]

Nice twist on a classic Lagwagon song! The Greg's Estate bit at the end was too awesome. Good shit!

[@michaelglass2488]

Nothing beats the original, but this was a fresh take on a good song. Nice job.

[@kv6256]

This beats the original bro. Sorry to break it to ya

[@qaipak1]

The bass line is excellent

[@fernandopuche8467]

Good job!!! Hooray for the 90's!!

[@MetaDecker]

I mostly wanted to bash this cover because I'm a huge Lagwagon fan, but this is a solid cover. Not what I was expecting at all.

[@KenChanJpn]

Great, putting in a part of Bad Astronaut's Greg's Estate.

[@Jaffe009]

You guys are one of my oldest favorite bands. Saw you guys in Kingston Ontario Canada when I was 11. :-) great spin on this tune!

[@danielamanha]

I discovered this band a couple of months ago and I'm in love with their work . You guys rock! Cheers from Portugal !

[@MrNight-iw9md]

The fact that you incorporated the Bad Astronaut bit in the end made me an instant fan of your band.

[@ataridc]

im an instant fan of YOU mr night

[@nocontrol628]

great job on this classic fellas

[@FeverdreamingVIDEO]

interesting take on a classic.. poppy as hell

[@psidefect1]

I'd love to hear MTS was coming back. But from what I've read, Chris is completely devoted to his family. It seemed like a stretch to get him in a studio for this. I would be surprised if he started in on the touring lifestyle again. maybe short tours would work... guess we'll see.

[@soulsurfers21]

cheers from Chile!

[@piacenzaHc]

Awesome version, grettings from Argentina!

[@Skatox]

Awesome cover

[@general_ahab]

its really rare, but i do like your version more than the original, ive heard the original full album like a thousand times back in the 00's but youve put a little more pma into that song, kunos, 10000000 internet and music penises and thanks for playing positive punk rock.... its really rare, like it happened one time before with motörhead, when they covered the stones song sympathy for the devil, but okay when motörhead covers a song it belongs to motörhead.....haha... well done, i really like it and even if im used to the original..... :), you made a new song out of it... thanks!

[@mayerbrezka4724]

You will make a new album? that cool, I am fan of you here in Brazil Rio de Janeiro. success !!

[@Muchthesame]

+Mayer Brezka We are about to start writing. It'll be a while because we have families and demanding jobs but it's in the works.

[@TiNours24]

New album is out! You should check it out. It's well worth it :)

[@craigoryjones9684]

I've never heard of these guys before but I'm already sold. Fucking SOLID cover 🤘🤘

[@frankbujo]

cant wait to hear the new album guys !!

[@TylerMack]

Amazing cover!!!

[@FahrizalTawakkal]

fresh! love this!

[@OnlyTheNova]

More please more!

[@psidefect1]

you guys should post this on your bandcamp for download!

[@Muchthesame]

It will be available (for free, I believe) as part of the A Fat Wreck compilation. Not sure when that's going to be released, check out www.afatwreck.com for updates.

[@Sebasdecline]

This band was so important for me.

[@threalharrydubois]

The Decline they are coming back.

[@Sebasdecline]

23rubel i heard that just for a couple of shows in chicago but hey! Its a start.

[@threalharrydubois]

The Decline they are setting up a new website and stuff, and they are hoping to get a new album out there within the next "five years" ... they just have to get "back in" after 8? 9? years i think, so this year there is just this couple of shows ^^

[@Sebasdecline]

+23rubel Whoa! Great news then! Thanks!

[@chipa6802]

oh the memories. i miss the scene

[@cepehc]

I migliori!!! MTS forever!!!

[@antoniolinoleum3431]

GRACIAS !

[@lewisjones2230]

Mint!

[@Mraloucastro]

[@Thunderwolf666]

Wait, does that mean there will be more MtS in the works?

[@Muchthesame]

We'll never say never, but not anytime soon. Frank and Dan have a new band called Burn Rebuild, though.

[@Muchthesame]

Thunderwolf666 Hey, in case you didn't hear we are back together and slowly working on new material.

[@Thunderwolf666]

Much The Same You've just given me the best news I've heard at a time when I really need good news. This is superb! Come to the UK, yeah?

[@martinjohansson203]

Much The Same And while you're in the UK I wouldn't mind if you stopped by Sweden too! Anyhow, stoked about the news, looking forward to hearing the new stuff!

[@pjakyatticus3431]

Uh ❤️👍

[@bramatyasias3791]

this great,, but lagwagon still best for me😀

[@dennishelmich8114]

[@tortugo_tube]

Maybe better than original... amazing

[@shwamayne]

Please please please get back together!

[@Magic_City_Madman]

What's the deal with this band "Making Friends"??? Want to hear more.

[@Sebasdecline]

The song is called "Making Friends" The band's name is Much The Same.

[@Sebasdecline]

***** Touché sir. :)

[@qaipak1]

:/ mts is an awesome band though.

[@AdamnSonn]

Sounds like no use for a name

[@johnJohnsonsonson]

a punk cover of a punk song

[@Chris-0703]

You can’t cover a song that is less than 20 years old

[@Muchthesame]

Must have missed that rule in the punk handbook, mine is pretty old by now, maybe there's been an update. Oh, and this song is 22 years old...

[@ForHeadsDownTV]

This cover is much better than the original!

[@hassinabd2294]

Flo FHD I'm putting my head under the guillotine but man, I totally agree

[@Pre-Expatriate]

Honestly, I find it kind of weak for a Much The Same song. Then again, I haven't heard anything you guys have done since Quitters Never Win. I guess you have a softer sound now?

[@guitaresp13]

Sorry to say this, but you guys really missed the mark. This cover is offensive and completely unrecognizable as a Lagwagon song.

[@TheAtheistPriest]

Glad you said that. Could not disagree more. I hate the Lagwagon version, and LOVED this. Long live differences of opinion.

[@Muchthesame]

***** This guy is an old friend and great punk musician with a sarcastic sense of humor. It's hard to tell, but I'm pretty sure he was laughing as he wrote that. =)

[@joelkamlah2793]

Doesn't know what he's talking about.... unless he's joking then haha I guess. But this is easily notable as a Lagwagon cover, unless your not that bright?
