Warpaint cover Ashes To Ashes in the BBC Music Tepee at Glastonbury 2014

[@tonyokeeffe6222]

My favourite cover of a Bowie masterpiece. Captured the spookiness of the original just right.

[@thatguyfromyork]

Drummer and the bassist are killing it!

[@rachelrobertdavies5269]

I watched it just for Stella and Jenny Lee.. They are this band for me.

[@humanspacevooth]

Rachel Anne Davies the voices of theresa and emily are fantastic , but the groove of stella and jenny is the base of warpaint , musically the guitars has a work below bass and drum working , but them can exploit these camps , warpaint is a great band i love it , the drum and bass supplement the great work behind the voices together sound fantastic

[@Bosdavid]

Certainly. Overall Jenny-Lee/the rhythm section is about 70% of what I listen to, when I listen to Warpaint, on studio recordings or live.

[@cedricknarsiso4044]

Mysterious and singular as the original, but with the musical tightness and rhythm of a live performance. Amazing

[@ThePaulbridgeman]

I was frightened to listen to this because I love the original version so much, but well done girls, this is amazing

[@NakedUndone]

Personally I think their rendition is much better than the original...

[@6235river]

@@NakedUndone same! I like more chill music so I love Warpaint's studio version more in general but I love Bowie's if I'm feeling funky lol

[@IllustrialUK]

They are SO damn tight musically, and as for the folks criticizing the vocals - it's live, and it's their style - and have you heard the original? It's a great cover.

[@bbrucet3]

Their vocal style is out of tune on purpose? That horrible mate.

[@asaturn]

bbrucet3 it's actually the guitars out of tune, and the fact that the lead one keeps playing the wrong chords. if you look you can see she's trying to compensate for an out-of-tune guitar by bending the strings... just sounds weird.

[@GatorMaggot]

She (Theresa) actually has a detune pedal on her pedal board. They like to teeter on the edge that way. Is it pitchy? Is it spot on? It creates a subtle tension in what is otherwise very pleasant sounding music. It's a method she uses to find her own "voice" on the guitar, and part of what makes the band so interesting.

[@natedertel4101]

I absolutely love this band but I don't think this particular song can be covered in a satisfactory way. The original is too weird, too quirky, too perfect in every regard. I don't even like Bowie's live versions that much compared to the original recording + video. It is like this song is so synthetic it is not meant to be played live and organic because something is lost.

[@AzimuthTao]

"it's live and it's their style" well, which is it? Are they deliberately out of tune or are they out of tune because it's live? Can't be both mate. If you can't sing on key live, you better practice a bit more.

Mannnn, that bassist is a proper cool cat! Sitting there like a mad bass yogi ✌😎👌

Can't stop listening to this.. The more I hear it, the more I appreciate it...

[@joetierney2]

Wow what an amazing cover. Beautifully done. I appreciate this as a lifelong Bowie fan.

[@Landroval2007]

This just so awesome, it works on so many levels! Harmonious, aesthetic, melancholy. It makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. I can't stop re-playing it.

[@sadiqmohamed681]

I had forgotten how good this version is. Stella is one of the best rock drummers, Jenni-Lee is an ace bass player and Theresa and Emily can sing and play guitar as well as anyone else around. Go girls!

[@sadiqmohamed681]

I came back to this a year later to say the same thing! It is my favourite cover.

I'm an instant fan. It just took several seconds and I love their freaking style. Their great musicians. Very , very , very damn good. RIP Bowie baby, RIP

[@deanosmith8007]

It's extremely difficult to cover bowie's number one hit ashes to ashes, it sound such a simple track but the vast number of layers going on in his studio version makes it almost impossible to re-create in a studio setup let alone live. Warpaint however do a great job on this live cover .

[@Acetripper]

Could be wrong but I'm left feeling the Glasto audience didn't quite 'Get' Warpaint. Which is surprising because I thought and hoped this would be the ideal setting for their stuff. Oh well good luck S.T.J-L& E

[@Rosie-zp8uz]

Dick Durkin totally, No one was really grooving out to them :(

[@danlikesmusicalot]

Dick Durkin i think it was just the wrong slot for them, most of the audience was probably waiting for imagine dragons, hense why they didn't "get" warpaint, i think it's awesome that they're playing the bigger stages but i think playing higher up the bill on the park stage would have suited them better (brilliant performance though, just a shame it was lost of the crowd)

[@TheAgentAssassin]

They should have turned on pretty stage lights , a drum machine and a very basic groove in the background for the Glasto crowd. They all seemed to like pretty stage effects and simpler music.

[@NattyTrugs]

Such a spooky vibe and damn how good is the tone on that lead guitar?!

[@willh13]

this is so good!
