Nick Cave fans?

i dont consider myself as just a fan ,i live the lifestyle as well, probably one of the most original guys out there,
besides ,the pricks album it has been an amazing evolution of his style,let love in, was a turning point in his style,
he also sings with j cash on his new album, the wim wenders until the end of the world movie you get too see him sing until the end of the world ,great movie too ,my wife is now a big fan as well after i took her to his concerts, i like the whole clan and their evolvements,mick harvey,anita lane,
etc,
i am a big diy guy and use him for vocal references(he loves tubes)

He does a killer, haunting version of Neil Youngs "Helpless" on a tribute album from a few years back. Lot of good covers on the disc, but worth the price for this particular song alone.

He does some Dylan covers, too, in concert.

I read that he is giving up touring because he is too old!! Dylan is 61 and still going strong! I don't think Nick is much over mid-40s.

I think Dylan and Cave have something of a mutual admiration thing going. See this link:

I caught Nick in concert about 15 years ago. It was a good show, but he said that he was tired of the USA and wanted to get back home. Guess he's still singing that same song 15 years later : )

One of my buddies just saw him play here recently. He said it was a great show. I would have went too if i would have known that he was playing. Sean

I was a Birthday Party fan (his original band back in the 80's, for those of you who only know him from his solo career). His stuff since then has mostly not been to my tastes. I liked him better trying to be a post-punk Jim Morrison fronting a noisy rock band than trying to be a post-punk Johnny Cash or Tom Waits sitting at a piano. I prefer some distorted guitars and screaming with my pretentions of poetry, and they did it well. Still, you kinda gotta like the guy - he's just cool that way.
