[gilgansalt]

once again you guys send the shivers down my spine. i've got a seether tattoo stretching from my elbow to my wrist, pretty sure i'm the biggest fan in australia, so i think i'm safe to judge that you guys did them great justice with this cover. absolutely stunning.

[matthew1186]

Great sound and I appreciate your efforts. I admire anyone that can play and sing as well as you.

[tgunz1976]

You guys nailed it man, Im a huge Seether fan and you guys rock!

[Blacobson]

Hey man can you please try out for american idol of some sort of talent search? There are many people out there without half the voice or talent that you possess. Seriously, you're amazing and have good technique, go big :)

[Fullstoprocks]

K.C.

[Vensant3]

you are just GREAT!! good job!!!

[dave5053]

I am a half step down, the same as Ian

[SmoothRhythm11]

Hey ian, i know you normally play half step down but i'm wondering if your buddy is in standard or tuned with you.

[ianb4music]

@SmoothRhythm11 I'm sure he is half a step down too, it would get too crazy to track what we are playing if he was in a completely different tuning.

[xXHellZGuardianXx]

Wooooow.... Perfect!!!

[tanyy666]

5 stars. very good

[zaratejosecarlos]

congratulations ! is perfect

[egrose]

Great job guys. I watch this over and over again. I want to learn the song now.

[ShredWithMe]

haha that comment to him made my day

[DrummerDevost]

Awesome Job Guys!!!

[laydbackjson]

Please Please Please give me the tabs to your version of this song. I've got some tabs from ultimate-guitar but the don't sound as good as yours. If you could help me out I would appreciate it. All I want is the lead which is the part you play

[dave5053]

@laydbackjson I would but the part that I worked out (im on the right as you are looking at the video I worked out by ear. Ian, he worked his out by ear as well. We use tabs readily available on the net and use those as a guide only....most are crap!

[laydbackjson]

Yes I agree...most are crap. Me and a friend have been working on a tab we found on UG but it just doesn't sound anything like you guys. I see your point though. You have to sift through the crap and put it all together. I guess I"ll just keep sifting until I get it right. Thanks for responding

[ShitStartingRiot]

True I Found That Out Of Six Years Of not Playin By ear But Not Im on My Tenth Year of playin and i learned to play by ear..(Im 17)lol

[cacahouette44]

Seether fan here . You did a great job congrat guys.

[ohmygeeitslee]

[cripplar]

dude your wicked would love to hear something that you have written??? or am I not looking hard enough?

[ianb4music]

Hmmm, that's a sore point, lol. I suck at writing, I have come to realize that I am not creative, I just copy other people's good stuff....

Thanks for the message.

[jrod14007]

awesome ian! great job both of you!

[crkhky]

Anyway I could get the tabs to this...I'm in the military trying to learn while deployed! Sounds amazing man!

[ianb4music]

Thanks for the kind words. We didn't use tabs, worked it out by ear, but I'm sure you can Google for some tabs. Hope you find some.

[Longoneast]

This is an amazing cover my favorite Seeter song. I subcribed to your page so I can listen to more. I wasn't expecting such an awesome voice, Thanks for sharing and keep posting.

[Dannykewly]

[ianb4music]

Thanks!

[NothinButSeether]

Nice job!!!

[usta90]

wow!!! amazing deffinately puttin this one in my faves!!!! widh i could play like that... still speechless got chills from that one!!!! keep em coming man your awsome

[Stuartjaime]

This Sounds great. I just have one question to ask, what are a couple of old guys like this doing listening to seether?

[Kasparous]

Only one word to say. Fantastic

[ianb4music]

Thanks!

[Quatermain98526]

FINALLY! A good cover. Most covers I see are teenagers with their puny voices cracking at all the wrong places, and their guitars are way out of key. This isn't too far off from the sound of One Cold Night, nice job. And I also didn't know old guys liked Seether! LOL! But you guys are awesome, definitely helping Seether's record.

[ianb4music]

Thanks for the kind words!

[Lumacaris]

dude. .. YOU ALWAYS ROCK \,,//

[jezus1989]

that's amazing guys!

we covered this song to it's up on my page if you like to see it but we did it without tabs so we played a lot of stuff our way

but if you find the time plz let us know what you think it would meen a lot to us hearing what such great musicions think about our cover

thanks in advance

and thanks for sharing!

[ianb4music]

Thanks, we did it without tabs too! Most tabs that you find out there are wrong anyway, I think it's much better to listen to what the music sounds like and figure it out yourself. If it comes out a little different well that's cool. If people want it to sound exactly like the original then there is no point in listening to covers, right?

[Xeler555]

Sir Ian, you nailed it again! loving all of your cover! specially this one! cool version and much better than the original one! LOL

[ianb4music]

LOL, thanks!

[jcosme8]

Wow..this is great...i am jealous... i love singing along to seether songs....well i'm only 16 so maybe i'll get a really manly voice in my 20's... haha... Great job.. keep it up..

[boogermonsterisgay]

nice cover!!!! 8/5

[Jept]

Kyle From Tenacious D!

[germing]

This is great, you guys leave me more songs with acoustic guitar. Such an inspiring job!!

[Vitorpaulo3]

BADASS cover!!

[matt040287]

F'ing awesome! =) I'd love to see more Seether covers. The song "Tongue" maybe ... or "Breakdown". Great job, man. Awesome guitar playing (both of you) and amazing voice. =D

[babyhulk510]

You guys are amazing, never seem to fail me!

[ianb4music]

Thanks very much, I will try and find that song.

[masterj2486]

is the guitar tuned 1/2 step down?

[ianb4music]

yes

[masterj2486]

thanks 4 your answer mac =) i'll watch your vid to learn this song ;)

[sathirem1]

it's better than original, your voice is fantastic

[hefa187]

SIMPLY AMAZING GUYS

Keep doing:)

[ianb4music]

Thanks!

[Seiryu120]

oh wow.... this cover is amazing... i like the sound of this better than the drop D tuning that it's normally played in. any way i could convince you to sending me your music!?!?! PLEASE!? =D

[ianb4music]

Sorry but I don't have tabs or anything, we just worked this out by ear. There should be many tabs on the net though.

[pyskaty1111]

great job :]

[xumaq]

Man this is a cover !!!! Very Good !!!! you only don't played with drop Yeah !? Sorry my english sucks I'm Brazilian =D

[Leatherface527]

honestly the best cover ive seen of seether, it was a great performance and your second guitarist kicks ass!! good job keep the seether covers coming.

[ianb4music]

Yeah, Dave is amazing, I'm lucky to have a pal like him.

[rshumi]

Great job, ianb4music :)

[ianb4music]

Thank you!

[wannabedj89]

Nice!

[xtwizzlerx]

What's crazy is that I have been trying to figure out how to play nearly everyone of these songs that you have covered. You do such an amazing job. I sit here and try to figure out what fingerings I have been missing for a long time. haha. Congrats, keep playin.

[RadioKlima]

I am him without words you have a very particular voice. have you made the records?

[ianb4music]

Thanks, no I have not done any records. Glad you like the songs.

[RadioKlima]

But then thing waited? Even a disk of cover. You have cloth.

[bigmac2108]

You really should do some records... I would buy them.

[dramadaus]

"Just having a bit of a laugh with this. Glad that some people like my covers, even though I make mistakes in just about every one of them"

As humble as that sounds, I think you put a little more effort into it and think you should be a little more honest.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, I think you guys are great, and I subscribed.

[mahchymk93]

Great job guys, best I've seen so far.

[ianb4music]

Thank you very much, it's much appreciated!

[breezyking]

yep another subscriber ...you got me with this one ...wow great freakin job

[ianb4music]

Thanks!  Glad you liked it.

[overtenemy69]

i want you to cover wicked game by stone sour please ian!

[LoganMcclane]

You've got a subscriber, done. haha, your f'in awesome.

[ianb4music]

Thanks very much!

[WordSoldier]

holy crap. this is awesome.

[ianb4music]

Thank you!

[bodylove30]

good covers but whay everybody try to do covers of other band its just useless try to do awone song for god sakes sorry for my bad english ciao

[ianb4music]

well some of us are hopeless at doing original songs, so the only way I can enjoy playing guitar and singing is by copying someone else's work. I would love to be able to write my own stuff but can't. You speak english better than I speak your language, unless it is Afrikaans lol.

[danoja80]

you guys are great

[classican]

That was really excellent!!! Great job!!!

[ianb4music]

Thanks very much!

[gositonthejohn]

Fantastic cover. Best that I've seen yet. I did one too, simply because I wasn't happy with what I saw on here. You guys are great. Unfortunately I don't have near as many years behind my talent as you guys do.

But check out my stuff anyways =)

[KillingYouForMe]

officially my favourite Seether song ever.

And you guys have far from ruined it as I have seen many people do. In fact I could just as happily listen to this as the original

=]

[ehmehzeh]

Plus I'd be very pleased if you could say which chords do you use for prechorus and chorus. The verse thing is clear. Also, are you in standard tuning?

[ehmehzeh]

Hmmm.. so I watched your video(as all the rest of them), and I watched the original of Seether. And then I watched both of them again. Then I watched your for another couple of times. You and Dave are better. :) I mean. You - are - a - living - inspiration. Keep up the godlike work. Youtube watchers are greatfull.

[lukeh1055]

awesome!!!

[Brettandjason]

Recipe for a great rock cover:

2 Martins (cases removed)

1 Dave (glasses left on)

A big 'ole helping of Ian

Blend together PERFECTLY and enjoy!

Jason

[ianb4music]

Ha, thanks for the kind words once again Jason, hope you are well.

[dave5053]

Haha...that was cool..

[Brettandjason]

You guys are really good together.

I'm sort of silly... but honestly, you two deserve all the credit you get!!!

[ianb4music]

As are the two of you guys. When are we going to see more from you?

[Brettandjason]

Actually, I'm working on a solo original thing right now.

If you want to check it out, I have one track ready. Give me an email in a private and I'll send it to you if you'll both be kind enough for a real, honest critique.

Hopefully, very soon for Brett & I, though. We seem to be getting a lot of Shinedown requests... God, help us all but... we're going to try.

Jason
