Videos: The Offspring: “Gone Away” (w/ Emily Armstrong)

Contributed by alex101. Posted by john on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 4:30 PM (EST)

Last fall, The Offspring hit the road with LA's Dead Sara, and called on the opening band's singer, Emily Armstrong, to contribute vocals to their stripped-down version of "Gone Away." Rolling Stone has debuted a video of the band performing the song with Emily at the Hollywood Palladium this past October. "Gone Away" originally appears on the band's 1997 album Ixnay on the Hombre.

Haha this sounds like the other pop song streamed today.

I've always liked this song and I actually like this version. Though Dexter doesn't sing as well as I remember.

Totally didn't hate it like I thought I would. Dexter's voice has been steadily declining for years though.

It was declining, but recent shows I've been to he's sounded great, including a couple of online videos. Back and forth I s'pose.

I remember him playing this on piano in Toronto, 2009, it was the best version of the song I had heard.

that video is so overly dramatic it made me cringe like watching Curb Your Enthusiasm

Every time I see "Emily Armstrong," I instantly think 'Emily's Army.'

davebrave4 (January 15, 2013)

Every time I see "Every time I," I immediately think 'Ebolarama.'

If I remember right the riff to this song rips off Fugazi's Blueprint from Repeater.

bouncingcoles (January 15, 2013)

nearly ever riff has been done before...

killtaker (January 15, 2013)

Not really...chord progressions maybe, riffs and melodies no.
