Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus cover for 2000s fest

[ODH]

Cover of the 2001 Wheatus song, Teenage Dirtbag.

GB drums and bass, several guitar tracks and some vocals. Try to see past that it's a song about teenagers sung by a bloke pushing 60.

I'm seeing Wheatus on Sunday, as luck would have it.

Brilliant..definitely an ODH song and a great choice ! Couldn't wait to hear how you'd do the "I've got two tickets for Iron Maiden part. Great listen !

Enjoy your gig on Sunday !

I chose to do it straight after considering many options. I'm looking forward to seeing how Wheatus do it at the gig.

Great grungy tone on the chorus Nick.
I also like  the quieter part near the end before it all kicks off again.
Had it blasting in my car.
Good stuff.

Very cool cover! I hadn't heard the song before, but I love the dynamics in your version. Slamming drums and a nice mix of acoustic and electric guitars with plaintive vocals. And hey, all of us were teenagers once and won't forget it!

[Bluesberry]

Superb ......love the grungy guitars......sounds so good

[StephenM]

To me the guitar on this is blistering good stuff Nick... you really rock those guitars hard and I dig it... really great stuff... the tones.. the style.. oh yeah
vocals are perfect too.

I was happy to hear that the twist in the end wasn't that the teenage dirtbag grew up and became just a dirtbag

I agree that this is definitely ODH song. No one here could do it justice like you do. From Banamarama to Wheatus. This guy has it all figured out!

the teenage dirtbag grew up and became just a dirtbag

That's a song waiting to be written, Old Age Dirtbag

Frigging excellent, this is a great song but on the original I was never big on the lead singer's voice. I like your voice on this cover way more! Outstanding production, those guitars sound huge while retaining a cool, lofi sound. This festival is going to be a lot of fun to see what songs people cover!
