Thank you, you are entirely too kind. This is one of my “put a pin in this one” songs that I’ll redo in a year or so, so the issues playing it are okay for now.
I’ve heard the ME versions but tbh I almost always default to the MC version. I may have to work on those Modern English ones. The bones of the songs are the same but very different vibes. I really dig the more raw, guitar driven versions more than I remembered. Especially Gathering Dust.

Love it Dude, amazing job! So I’ve got a history with this song. My (now) 26 year old and I, when she was 3/4/5/6… every time she and I were in the car just the 2 of us, would ask for Parklife and we’d do a duet at the top of our lungs. I’d take the verses with my awful cockney accent, youngling would take the chorus. I can still mention this song to her and it puts a smile on her face. Even though she’s into hardcore metal and stuff.

DOKKEN - BREAKING THE CHAINS https://youtu.be/y35pngzAcqM?si=c5uX75j7J2o5hvhB Here ya go brother. It’s an older cover I did, sound quality on the song isn’t good and my playing was off slightly here and there, but you can see the bass clearly. They are an exact match! The end of the video you can see it the best.

Yeah it’s the song that solidified that “that radio Melt With You” band was actually next-level good, and not pop 
Gathering Dust is an amazingly good song, one of my favorites, and like a cross between post-punk and Lemmy-era Hawkwind or something. So good. I still listen to it all the time.
That whole album is actually solid.

My bass cover of the Nirvana song Very Ape from In Utero…really like this song and it is fun to play, but it is very slidey and at a good clip, plus I tend to slide very hard, so my concentration face is on in this one
I tried to push the boat out on my FX pedals for this cover too, so would be interested in comments about the tone
MIJ P Bass through 11 pedals then recorded in Logic
Nirvana - Very Ape
