[HumbleThyself230]

excellent! Keep at it. :)

[EmilyRhcpforlife]

YEP!

[Saeedster]

great voice. keep it up man.

[azurenscens]

love your voice. your cover is just as powerful and emotion-evoking as the original, if not moreso

[Comingtoyaaahaaa]

nice one... what are the tabs for the harmonica?

[tobasi]

@Comingtoyaaahaaa: I learned this by ear, I don't have any tabs, sorry.

[MrRileyTurtle]

I dig this just as much as the original! and I find the voice to be absolutely brilliant.

[soulshinesixtynine]

AHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i can't watch this, but listening is good, until he starts singing.

oh dear lord. too funny

[tobasi]

@jeremylater: please stop writing comments like this one... ugh, disrespectful (just don't watch)

[TheBlueEyedHonky]

@jeremylater

Yeah, try and not be a complete bastard. 

[kinkykane0607]

@jeremylater Dick.

[willnotcompute]

[chnosp]

Props man.

[kevdigs930]

[rockisdead1946]

you look insane, but thank god for mental illness. nice video

[Jellum]

Im in love with you -_^

[professorkipling]

[PAULLONDEN]

You titled your vid wrong....it must've said "Mongoloid interpretation of "Before I Am Gone"....For the rest.......all best wishes though,and keep on strumming.

[kevdigs930]

@PAULLONDEN you fuckin post a video and lets see what you got

[dovesdelay]

love this Tobasi. Very emotive. Awesome playing...

[VENUS0IN0FURS0]

hey man what are the harmonica tabs

well played

[StevenVernet]

haha brilliant u nailed the harmonica line

[RomanWildernesOfPain]

you are crazy. well done!

[kmichaels67]

Excellent! You have a very unique voice. More BJM please.

[Rangerrecon25]

cool bourne

[EntropicSpore]

How the fuck could any of you say anything about his voice?

Fucking Calvin Johnson-like.

Awesome.

[paulhandforth888]

yeh, a little creepy the way you keep lookin at the camera.... chill ur face, u look like ur having a stroke... but aside from that really good, ur pretty handy with that harmonica

[relentlessquavers]

very very good

[Laurenceeeee]

I love the Brian jonestown massacre, you make it sound so amazing as well :) Good job! love your signing.

xoxx

[littleboyleaf]

maybe you should not worry about the camera so much and just feel the music.but it still sounds good.your just creepin me out

[iogkgfjkikikpoygtytg]

ace.

[arnartul]

very cool man .. one of my favorites ... I like your singing style with this ... very BJM

[davidbowieswaffle]

This is fucking horrible. I want to cut your mouth off

[tobasi]

I won't let you

[drfostersmith]

How could you say it's fucking horrible? I mean, sure the guy might not be a gifted singer, but it's not bad, I think it gets way better after the first few lyrics. I think the guitar and harmonica sounded great together. I bet you couldn't play both and sing at the same time. Not as easy as you would think.

Good job.

[davidbowieswaffle]

@drfostersmith How much are you willing to bet?

[maffakah]

you make me happy, the way you sing and play.

Keep up the good work :)

[husfelt109]

good shit man!

[blkshprd]

great job

[imanuglybaby]

awesome job dude, i'd love to see you re-do this now that youve been at it for awhile

Anton would approve :)

[raaa478]

very nice man!!

[vegastr0n]

did A.-OK in My book. 10- stars

[BohemianAsh]

Very nice!

[bringbacktonywilson]

great cover man

[Be2202]

That kicked ass!!!! Good Job:>)

[ArthurRimbaudverlain]

great playing, both guitar and harmonica. u should try and make the lyrics more coherent. facial expression or insane, sorta puppet like

[OsvaldoPaese]

I like it. I really do. I am a big fan of this band. I think perhaps, maybe if you could somehow make your voice more upfront, so we can really make out the words.

But great playing. And i like your style very much.

[Barklord]

cool beans. Do more!

[Grandcaravan]

thats really fucking good

[dontpd11]

Love the song. . . Tobasi, check out "No Expectations" by the Rolling Stones. Isn't this the same song. . . give or take?

[Barklord]

BJM are brilliant at finishing-off the rest of most sixties tunes while other r-n-r groups danced around the Holiest of Holies, daring Not To Touch. :)

[cammmmmmmmm]

your pretty much the weirdest singer i have ever seen

[pissedagain]

what key harmonica you use?

[tobasi]

I use a standard blues harp in C.

[Triplesod]

Very nice. Great song by a great band, played.. er... greatly.

[beefshake]

bloody excellent man. i want to see someone cover talk-action=shit!

[dduca37]

can you please do some more BJM songs i think you did an amazing job and keep making more song covers

[dduca37]

very good job i loved it

[dy30n]

nice one mate!1,fuck haters!

[sirkispower]

t'as un voix super grave !!! c cool

good work

++

[pagliux]

Bravo.....bravo davvero!

[orangebike66]

good work man!

your head is so funny when you play harmo!

[jewishmexican]

great job! love the work on the harmonica. i cant figure that song myself. but just a little tip on the vocals. on this song it would sound good if you but a little bit of emotion into it instead of just straight-forward notes. but GREAT JOB. i love the way you hit those low notes.

[ferryboatfilms]

Very nice.

[tofudujour]

Bring it all back home is my favorite album. You should cover a song from it.

[koyteSSS]

bravoo

geat!

[TheDormouse]

Fantastic. You're really good.

[z0mz0m]

Give It Back is one of my favourite albums ever

[PHAEDRIDER]

me too..

[MaxwellsDemon86]

nice cross harp, dude

[IAmSound7]

great! i love you musical taste

[vickpezz]

lovely!

[alexh1121123]

you should do the godspell according to newcombe by bjm. or you should do Scarborough fair by simon and garfunkel those would be good exept i dont know what you would do when the 2nd guitar comes in but it wouldd be cool anyways.

[andrewextraordinaire]

paha!

[MissAdOlesCenCe]

Pfff... Ke dire de plus...

Je ne connais pas l'original mais ta reprise me plais...

Je connais les Brian JonestOwn Massacre J'ai du regarder 15 fois DIG! lol

merci, merci, merci...

[catchthewind]

lolocaust

[evanstapp]

Encore un excellent vidéo!!!

Merci!

[kingofconvenience112]

fantastic!...check my vids if u aint already...u clearly have the better voice tho! :)

[tobasi]

What inspires me the most (in music)? Well, harmonies, melodies, rythm and lyrics (in descending order of my priorities, nevertheless the four of them are important) touch me as it is the case for many people. I like complex music, when you can discover new elements listening to it over and over again (e.g. Beethoven). But there are also beautiful simple songs like the present one.

[TinPennyWhistle]

Est-ce que je peux avoir vos bébés?

haha ;D jk

[tobasi]

Oui, des tas de bébés...

[tobasi]

You don't like the harmonica being strapped around the head? Bob Dylan and Beck (and many others) do it so I think it is pretty cool... Anyway it allows you to play two instruments at the same time which is a great thing.

[TinPennyWhistle]

hey

loves the performance but the harmonica does initially look silly strapped around your head, haha you are extreme. you are great. still by far green is my favorite song that you did, but this is a close second. so, as buzzpupster asked, what inspires you the most?

[KrisShred]

Really nice! ;o)

[buzzpupster]

GREAT JOB! Very well done. What inspires you the most?  Thanks for your videos.

[MuNkYBizNess]

Bloody smoothio, I can see you throw everything in to your performances mate. Great job tobasi!
