Toadies - A Forest Lyrics

The best Cure song and absolutely an incredible cover of it. Toadies nailed it raw. Killer guitars.

Ex Ce Le Nt

Best cover ever !

Your are either gifted with music ability or you put a lot of effort in, not as good as the original but brilliant cover version, kudos.

I always love to find out that a band I love was inspired by another band I love.

Sick, Sick, Sick!!!!! In a good way! Love!

One of my favorite cure songs. Mad justice done of a cover in my mind. High bar set for me as well, so this speaks volumes, in my opinion, throwin' this statement out. Bra-fuggn'-vo Toadies. Unique style of a group exhibited while keeping core integrity of the composition in place. Hard to do to say the least. Nailed it in my mind. Made my day in the best, cathartic way

Sweet version... almost nothing that this band can't play. Vaden Todd Lewis still sounds great 20+ years later. Miss the late 80's through mid-90's musically. So many good (and under-rated) bands out there...

without the reverse effects/etc on the drums, and flanger on the guitars/bass this loses a lot of atmosphere

Awesome!!!

AWESOME!!!!

Love................it. My fav Cure song covered by a very under-rated band - turn to 11 btw.!

La mejor version de A forrest que hay y por goleada !!!!!

Excellent cover. Loses a bit of the bass though.

nice jam. that was great.

Wow, as a metalhead who loves the Cure I love the heavy guitar version of this truly awesome song! These dudes actually really did this song justice as far as covers of an awesome band like The Cure!

Todd Geffken it's the Toadies what'd ya expect!

Love this song anyway but ..I am blown away by this version! ..:D

one of the better covers

Surprisingly good cover. I like the upbeat swing on it.

Really good !

8 people don't know a great cover when they hear it.

Woah way to TOTALLY eff up the bassline which was the best part wtf has music come.to!

@Shaina Karasik Haha, fair enough.

Nice vids, btw. New Order is great.

thank you, yes they are!

@Shaina Karasik fuck off shaina

 thanks. Im flattered i gained such passion of hate ;) I just wanna say I love A Forest for the ending bass notes the most, thats all, its my fav part, otherwise cool cover, i guess my tinnitus got the best of me. Peace and well wishes.

@Shaina Karasik I love those ending bass notes too. This cover does lose a bit of that element with the bass, for sure, but it's also cool in that it sounds like a Toadies song. They made the song their own pretty well. But as with most covers, I'd say the original is better.

Great job love the sound kept to original but added just the right bits.

amazing cover man!,, especially the last couple of minutes! (Y)

Very good cover!!

Fav! Great cover!

I've made my own special version of this great song, a bit diffferent than the original. 
Please watch it and let me know (like/comment) if you like it...

A forest - The Cure (guitar cover)

Brutus plays guitar

Cool cover version!! Creaming Jesus did a good version of this, too.

play it loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!  great cover

One of the best cure covers I've ever heard. By one of the best of Texas!!!! #Toadies

One of my favourite bands covers one of the most mesmeric songs ever.

It was until the bassline got ass raped

+Shaina Karasik :-)

The Cure covers by some bands are really good. Like The Editors covered Lullaby and its really good. This is another good example. I am so glad they covered this.

Best Cure Song, Best Cure Cover..A great tribute to the genius of Robert Smith.

So much better than the original whining.

lol that part sounds epic

Nobody is like The Cure, every cover is sweet to hear.

Heard this the first time last saturday, Wow! sounds super great

Coming from a life long Extreme Cure fan i'am VERY picky on covers! But,this is pretty bad ass! Toadies were a rockin' band back in the day.

Lars Day they still are

again and again and again and again and AGAIN AND AGAIN N AGAIN N AGAIN N AGAIGAIGAIGAIGAIIINN!!

The Cure..... BAM

sounds like A C F D and for the other part something like B C A C B C A F but don't hit the bass notes for the last A & F ( not sure and I don't have my guitar with me but I think that are the chords)

Cuz The Cure is awesome

not new....they covered this back in 96 at big venues as well... its always been a random song they've sung...the cure is what inspired many of their songs when i used to hang with them on fry street at the flying tomatoe...in Denton where I went to college....theyd chill at parties playing cure songs acoustic...this isn't new

I love me some Toadies and so glad they acknowledge 'The Cure' and covered the very well, however, I am going to be the guy that says he likes the original better.

This is how it always sounded in my head anyway. Excellent cover.

The Cure is AWESOME

best cover ever..

great cover of a great song!!! - remeber the original and love it...love this too!! - great version

doesnt sont like the 1 from south park

What are your rythm guitar tabs ? That's awesome !

@myoglobinclacfj or maybe download it with realplayer and convert it to an mp3...maybe. :P

I grew up with the original but this ain't too shabby :)

@jshagy Did you check carpathian forest cover?

The Toadies rule!

No Deliverance

I want this song but I already own the cd, and I don't want to pay another 9.99 on Itunes. Anyone know of an alternative source?

its ok but the song is supposed to be minimalist and tight sounding

You are right -- I was lucky enough to be there!

this pretty good cover

Have they ever played this live? I have asked/requested/begged at two shows, but no . . .

doesn't that suck? I hate itunes sometimes.

The song is new and was released 8/19/08 on I-tunes. It was probably recorded in the Spring or Summer of 2008.

Yes, they're still around and their new album is awesome. You should also check out Vaden's other band, the Burden Brothers. They also rule.

Toadies did a great job, The Cure is amazing and I respect them both. I really like the feedback during 3:07, go see the Toadies live, they're a great rock show.

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!

this cover is nice...no hating from me.

The first 25 seconds of the intro on this is cool, but the delay's too obvious, and it's a little too commercial-broey. Clearly, overall, I gotta give the win to Carpathian Forest - Mysterious and very cool rendition, plus the bands own style of character/image/presentation.

carpathian forest cover of "A Forest" is the greatest ever.

best band from TX = D.R.I. (sorry)

I saw The Toadies a couple of weekends ago (Nov. 7th in NJ) and they were great! They put on a really good show. I like this version better than The Cure's, actually.

Impressive cover of my fave cure song- had me rocking in my chair, infact better than impressive !!!!!!!!!!!!!

another awesome remake!!

i didn't even know these guys were still around!! i would have never thought that toadies would cover the cure. possum kingdom is one of the best songs ever written! :D

The song is new. It's was released 8/19/08 on I-tunes.

fucking awesome! I didn't even know they ever covered this. I love these guys!
