Creed sucks swollen monkey nuts.

creed is what if you could feed an abortion into a vocoder

Great video keep watching tell the end. Meet SHONEN KNIFE got them all to sign 1 dollar bill for me. Watched their concert they were great. Also meet Vice Presedent Dan Quail the same day got his autograph too. The girls(ShoneKnife) wanted to meet him, they were saying: Dan Quail Dan Quial: yes yes. But I told them he left- they were sad . ( IM SURE SHONEN KNIFE WOULD DO WHAT YOU DID)-( KEEP THE VIDEO UP).... KEEP ON ROCKING ALL NIGHT AND PARTY EVERY DAY . P. S. Just meet Gene Simmons to.

[jonnyjaywick]

vernal falls. fucking great. that blue bird always hogs the shot.

[Jvergakis]

fuck creed and fuck you

[Jvergakis]

why dont you change title to top of the world with creed or somthing cause i typed in shonen knife and this shit pops up and take shonen knife off tags too ppl dont wanna hear this shit or ill flag u for using creeds music too

[mao2meow]

@Jvergakis

Go ahead and flag me for using Creed's music, I'm using it legally. You obviously didn't see any of my annotations as to why I had to use Creed. I had a choice to either take the video down or use music from youtube's audio swap. This was one of the song's that were available. This is my way to protest the song. So it stays up, beee-otch!

[robibm2003]

Creed blows. They're Pearl Jam for dummies. 

[Netcrosus]

You chose wrong. Take it down or dump the music. Getting Creed instead of Shonen Knife is like thinking you are about to eat chocolate and finding out it's actually excrement.

[mao2meow]

@Netcrosus

Obviously you did not read the title. Does it not say "Creed - Higher!" in the title? I worked really hard on this video and I will not take it down. If you really want to hear Shonen Knife sing "Top of the World" then go to itunes and download the song yourself. you cheap bastard!

[scooteratreides]

@mao2meow It does say "Creed" in the title--but only AFTER you've already picked this vid in the suggestions sidebar. There's not enough room there, so if you pick this from the suggestions you have no idea you're getting Creed until you get here.

I get why you're doing this and why you chose to keep the vid up--but you had to expect SOME backlash (it IS Youtube, after all!XD)

[scooteratreides]

@scooteratreides Taking "Shonen Knife" off of the tags might help, too...

Just a thought ^_^

[EldestSauce]

@mao2meow no it doesn't say it. the title is too long to fit on the sidebar. the only dumbass who wants to hear this crap is you

[mao2meow]

@EldestSauce Wow. Seriously, it's just music people! You really need to get a life if this is what upsets you. There's was a earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and a nuclear facility had a meltdown and radiation is destroying our atmosphere. I think this should be more of a concern, not the music in my videos. Sorry it stays up. Hopefully this hasn't ruined you so much that you need therapy to get on with your life.

People click on a FREE listening of Shonen's Knife's Top song, don't get it and they feel cheated? lol Then simply click on another version. This guy is a total class act ... He or she keeps his great work up and an explanation .... I'm blown away by his sincerity, class and honor .... Great job pal, I watched it to the end wondering the whole time who would go to the trouble of writing all that, Never listen to the bashers ... When you can't do anything you bash ... Great job, class act

[Kalhari]

probably should have gone with option A

[greenboating1]

Great video - I just opened Youtube in another tab, muted the music you had to add to your video and played top of the world on other tab while I watched your video. Clunky but I got to see how you put it together. Nice job!

[asshole138]

Take this shit down allready! So friggin stupid!

[mao2meow]

@asshole138 - Interesting self-awareness that you have.

[theITALIANreporter]

@mao2meow hey dude no offense but you should have just taken it down instead of doing audio swap. Cause the title makes it look like shonen knife and we listen to creed instead which is unintentional misleading but still misleading all the same. People came here to list to shonen knife, and this video has no purpose if it is just gonna play creed. Im just simply saying that if you take it down it won't waste peoples time. sry, but im just telling the truth.

[DejectedPanda]

Creed instead of Shonen Knife?  To paraphrase Johnny Rotten, I feel cheated.

[mao2meow]

Yeah, think of how I feel! I'd much rather have Shonen Knife as well, but Youtube copyright Nazis busted me and either I take the video off or I replace the audio....Creed was the best choice.

[sugarkang]

lol. nice johnny rotten reference.

[AppleSouffle]

Could I please see some crummy home videos, made by a guy who's shaking the camera because he just drank way too much coffee and Mountain Dew, and he has no idea that the focus knob exists?

And then throw in the wrong band and song titles to mislead people to this home video that is so incredibly bad, even the aunts and uncles at the family reunion couldn't bear to watch it.

[mao2meow]

Well at least I upload original content. And by the way, it was not my choice to use Creed, I had to because of copyright issues. Which judging from your uploads I'm amazed you get away with.

[AppleSouffle]

How disappointing.

I just got Creed Rolled.

Nonepic, don't swear in public.

[nonepic]

what the shit is this creed shit CREED IS SHIT

[Evilushka]

Grrr I hate the corporate pricks of the music industry. Fucking copyright!

I was so excited to watch this too because I am seeing Shonen Knife tomorrow @ Corner Hotel, Melb, yaaaayyy!! :)

[TadghD]

creed is the worst band in existence. silence is more preferable.

[fatcatbuzz]

HAHAHA I agree.

[Xialong1963]

Creed blows...

[haynesemail]

I love Yosemite but by co-incidence I just posted a video I just took of Shonen Knife doing Top Of The World at The Windmill in Brixton, London. Maybe I'll be asked to Audio Swap too. I have some nice clips of Scotland waiting in the wings.

[xXEmptyXNoiseXx]

Oh my god, that sucks so much that YouTube did their stupid copyright claim on your video. If I remember correctly, one or two of nigahiga's 'how to' videos recently-ish got a copyright claim, so they took it down. It really sucks that YouTube's doing this. Anyways, this is Michelle (another cousin :D), and I really like the video besides the fact that YouTube didn't let you use Shonen Knife's song.

[mao2meow]

Hi Michelle! Yeah it really threw me for a loop when they did that. I just couldn't bear taking this down because it's a really good video and it captured the yosemite get together so well. I hope I could make the next reunion and make a new video. Hope to see you soon. - em.

[BlackBarty]

Your cousin with the long black hair is very cute.

Would have preferred your original soundtrack though!

Cheers

[purplecarrot123]

I KNOW D:< I wanted to use top of the world for one of my videos and youtube just completely copyrighted it! I AM SOOOO ANGRY i had to use audioswap. i really hate youtube

[Volstreed]

Those monsters! Some people in Japan linked this vid when it had the Shonen Knife music. How could YouTube do that? D=<

[OrchidOxycodone]

Creed is plastic,mainstream trash.Shonen Knife on the other hand is incredible.Fucking stupid youtube!

[mao2meow]

I agree! I was so angry when they suspended my video. Because I spent so much time putting it together and it was a video that documented a really great time with my cousins there's no way I could take it down. This Creed song doesn't touch the Shonen Knife song, but it has allowed me to keep this video up. It's a scam! Look you can even buy the creed song while watching my video!!

[jatazoulja]

copyright claim SUCKS!! i got 3 video that has been copyright claimed!! :|

[lauraludwig]

Hey Auntie Em! That sucks that they singled you out as opposed to the other youtubers using the same song. I think yours was probably just the most recognized (or the best), which is why they even noticed it. OR maybe your song was eclipsing shonen knife! But I still like it. Creed fits in the sense of "Higher" like the Yosemite rock formations as well as life, fun, being happy. Kinda living in the moment I guess. OK! Still love the video though! Good job Auntie Em and youtube can just suck it.

[mao2meow]

Howdy! Yeah I did my best to keep the spirit of the video, and it's still okay. But it really is made for Shonen Knife's "Top of the World". You tube and their audio replacement scam blows.

[raygun77]

Shonen Knife sure sounds like Scott Stapp.

[masterchief377]

I agree.

[mao2meow]

A copyright claim has turned Shonen Knife into Scott Stapp.  Blame youtube.

[bigzam]

It's pretty F'n stupid that you just can't play the song you want. Nobody's downloading the the fu(king thing! Lame.

[goten1shadow]

I learned just put the copyright claim in... It took away my two best videos because of this shit!

[fatcatbuzz]

Creed sucks. Shonen Knife is great. Why even have the video up?

[mao2meow]

Because I spent a hell of a lot of time on it, and I like the video. The creed song is okay, but Shonen Knife worked a lot better. However, the it's all about the video for me.

[fatcatbuzz]

I wish you could have kept Shonen Knife because they are way better than Creed and one of my favorite band. But what are you going to do? I didn't mean to offend because the video is nice.

[nitemaric]

i dnt understand wat u did wrong

[makimaus]

GANDA NITO PANTROPA!

[ChickenCurry66]

Nice Video!!

FUNFUNFUN!

[purplebutterflygirl]

this is super cute. the song fits it well :)

[Panda2pointO]

Ya'll look like a bunch of my family XD

[hec913]

having fun? lol, nive vid, thanks for sharing!!

[monkeyseawater]

I love this "pop" version-still love Karen's version the best though-

[RockOnBob85]

Such a pretty place

[zappasaurus]

Yosemite is the center of the world. I also love what Shonen Knife does with this song. It's the song that introduced me to them. The are just dripping with ... fun.

[johnny87123]

Hay this is Eli and I really think that you did a good job. you should make an other one in the reunion.

but my question is... did you put us in the video?

[lauraludwig]

Hey Eli! I think she got there after you guys had already left, which is why there are no pics of you guys in it. :( Next time for sheezy.

[oldphoque]

Absolulutely nothing could have made me like this song other than a Japanese chick band. SK, is great. Apple Ono would have butchered it nicely. I just can`t take the Carpenters version.

[GLACIER187]

Japanese pop bands are way too likeable. They are trying to trick us.

[joshuageller]

SK is great, but boy are you wrong. Karen Carpenter rules!

.

[TrishasMilitia]

What a fun video! Love the last part.

[Halo2Boy]

Its me Bijan just saying hi and it looks like you guys had fun over there in yosemite

[Halo2Boy]

This is Vicki ! That was quite amazing . You picked the perfect song " Top Of The world " for the background to the video.

Love it a whole lot. Thanks for being there with your family and your bro. Leo and making it happen.

Yosemite rocks!!!

[mao2meow]

Hey Vicki, you look great in this video! And your cartwheel was fun too. Next time I'm gonna ask you to do a backflip, so start practicing!

[521610]

OH MY GAWD!!! This was way sooo impressively cool!!! Thanks for documenting what looks like a GREAT time had by ALL...I will definitely not miss the next one!

[mao2meow]

We gotta do a BIG Lopez reunion soon. I got some great ideas for the next reunion vid.

[ludwig54321]

I can't get over this! Every time I watch it I see something new! You have a great eye for the joy of life!

[mao2meow]

Yeah, it's been a few days since I last watched it and I did notice one mistake. I forgot to thank Jacki in the end credits, she's such a big presence especially in the end when Curt uses her to harass ray-ray while he's singing. Oh well, I'll have to come up with a video just for her.

[Halo2Boy]

It's me Sasha! I Love the video!  I wish I was there! Next time I'm going!

[mao2meow]

We missed you there in Yosemite! I will definitely bring the vid cam at the next get together, so be there or be square.

[lauraludwig]

LOVE IT! My new favorite. We all gathered around the computer to watch it... it was quite an event. We're all very impressed. NICE JOB! SO PROFESSIONAL!!

[mao2meow]

Glad you all liked it. Thanks for taking the great video w/ my camera on top of Vernal Falls. I used quite a bit of it. You look absolutely fabulous on that rock!

hugs...
