redd Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 My dear Larisa, I love, love this video! It is the most rockin' cover of one of my fave Raspberries songs I'm so grateful that you share your favorite videos with me! Funny, but we do have the same taste in music. I love introducing you to some of my favorite American rock bands, it's getting harder because you are so knowledgeable! Looking forward to watching some of your Russian music videos Thx, redd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpokotilenko Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Dear redd, Your opinion on my knowledge of Russian music is very much exaggerated. I grew up listening to music from Britain and mostly familiar with it is much more than a Russian. It sounds a bit strange, but it's true. But there is one special group that I really like, and I'm sure you will like it too. But let it be a surprise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redd Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Dear Larisa, Didn't know you grew up listening to British rock & pop. I loved that music as well, also American pop which I began listening to as an 8 or 9 year old kid. Thanks for sharing that excellent video cover of "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT" by Imperial State Electric". That was such a terrific cover & a great tribute to the Raspberries. Not sure why no one commented on the video though??!! Am going to check out more music by ISE, think they are real rockers! As always redd ❤️ P.S. Don't really like surprises quite the way you do. But, am anxious to hear that Russian band you know I will like!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ellen Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Larisa, I've previously seen this video and do love the energy of ISE. We don't find covers of "IDKWIW" often, nor one with so much electricity. This cover definitely rocks!!! Thanks so much for posting my dear. M.E. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 FWIW, Imperial State Electric's cover of IDKWIW was discussed here about 3 years ago........here's a cut & pasted post I made from early '11, referring to a Dec. 2010 earlier post.........I'm the one who got the live Sunset Strip Berries DVD into the hands of Nicke of ICE......... "BlondeVelvet/Bernie - I made the following post, along with the narrative below, about this cover, last Dec. 22. I suspect this band may have covered this tune after their front man Nicke spent many hours watching the live DVD from Sunset Strip.................. "One of the copies of the live Raspberries box set I bought a few years back went to an old friend of mine who was living in Stockholm at the time. One of his roommates then was Nicke Andersson, front man of The Hellacopters, and a member of many other bands (including The Solution with ex-Rationals/ex-Sonics Rendezvous Band singer Scott Morgan, Entombed, Cold Ethyl, Supershit 666, etc.). Per my friend Dave, Nicke spent a lot of time watching the live Raspberries LA HOB show over and over. I know he's a huge fan. I just found this youtube video/cover of "I Don't Know What I Want," performed at the Debaser in Stockholm last month, by Nicke and his latest band, Imperial State Electric, whose debut CD came out in June. (Nicke's the left hander in the hat, BTW)" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Meant to type "ISE", not "ICE" above.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 It's fairly obvious that ISE's version was inspired by the live Sunset Strip version.......which was the first one to use a second lead singer on the bridge (Jennifer), trading lines with Eric (unlike in the original version). Other covers of IDKWIW (The Devil Dogs', for example) didn't do this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ellen Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 JohnO, Very Cool!! Thanks so much for posting, Mary Ellen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuke Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Can I ask, what are the correct lyrics to the middle part of IDKWIW? THANKS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettymom777 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I found them online, but I wouldn't dare post them. Better ask Bernie about it. I cannot have the nerve to over ride the Administrator. "I Don't Know What I Want". Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 All of the correct lyrics to all of the songs are stored here at EricCarmen.com — the ones you are looking for can be found here: http://ericcarmen.com/music-startingover.html Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
