UPENN OFF THE BEAT - THE CROWING (Coheed and Cambria) OTB

[TheCarlosThomas]

Flawless!!!!!

[EmbriellasWings]

If there were a song from your favorite band, that someone remade into acapella style, and you thought "This couldn't possibly sound good!" And was proven wrong, this would be that song and this would be that remake. This is GOLD! You guys are AMAZING!

[ProfChainsawFace]

holy crap

[NikoStokes]

8O.. *Drooling* Excelent

[JRED0609]

You guys sound incredible. So epic that you guys would use Coheed songs. Thank you guys for recreating a master piece.

[eleven59]

This is my all-time favourite Coheed song, and this arrangement is just plain epic (not a word I use lightly).

[robertej]

ok i have a question how do you do an effective drum noise like that i know thats not really easy to answer in words but ive always wondered how you do a really good bass like in the back ground sort of sounds like a gunshot

[qwertyuiop153486]

This Is Epic. You guys do a few coheed songs, for that i am thankful.

[OfNmW1]

Will yous tour?

[C0H3EDFANWILL]

OMAIGOD THIS IS SICK!!

[Bpowderr]

lol je dup

[chrisbDTM]

wow. awesome. more coheed please

[wirving18]

And I thought Claudio gave me chills when he sang the end of this song!

[BrittanyDelirium]

AMAZINGNESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

[EmoBoy52710]

This Song Blew The Speakers In my Headphones..... Sounded Amazinq Thouqh ;D

[JOSmurder]

i actually love this. i'm sa HUGE coheed fan and to me, this is just fantastic. well done.

p.s. i also love your version of favour house atlantic. you guys should record it. i can only find the live version which is no good for MP3 unfortunatly...well done again though!!

[merlock101]

You guys desperately need to start doing Coheed songs again, seriously.

[gbpackersfan42]

Why is this the first time I ever heard this? It's amazing!

[Bareno91]

This gives me chills everytime...especially the end

[Andre123456a]

The women sound beautiful

[xXSilentEarth3Xx]

Oh my goddd!! This is sooo great, how the Hell did it take me so long to find this! Great work guys!

[LashTyphoon]

COCA should do a show with these guys.

[Pengalor]

Oh, I also just rocked out singing this along with you guys haha, 10 thumbs up!

[Pengalor]

I officially have a new favorite acapella group. As someone with a choral backrgound, this was aabsolutely amazing, and of course, any Coheed song is always a great choice! Thanks for this : ).

[piehguy22]

OffTheBeat does a great job with Coheed's works. It's sooo nice to hear these tracks in a new way. I think most CoCa fans are pretty dedicated to the band and have listened to their albums tens, if not hundreds of times. It's when you reach that level of familiarity with a group's material that covers such as this are really appreciated.

[makilgore06]

This is probably the best thing I've seen in my life. Is this better than the original? Shit. How has this been in existence for over two years without my knowledge? Fuck.

[uthejew]

I'm impressed.

[SuperShadowXr]

first i was like wtf since i thought it was saying shut up but then i saw the comment saying what it was and besides that small misunderstanding i realized how good this really is i was quite impressed good job

[Hidratos]

you guys are just as crazy as awesome. this is legendary!!!!

[superstriker00]

I convinced my high school choral director to let us do this.

[AwfulBandName]

SO GOOD.

[Vicron]

New coheed back up singers??

[gzilladude85]

epic!!!

[ChuckNBottles]

simply beautiful!!!! Claudio would be proud!!!

[cursedreject]

i cannot find the words to express how much i love this

[RobotsXDinos]

+++++++++A

[Apocol0id]

Are you guys actually saying 'shut up' or something more like 'sha-dup'?

[OffTheBeatVideos]

@Apocol0id "je-dup," actually, It's one of our syllables when we arrange our songs. Good guess, though : )

[Antoine5050]

I swear to Claudio's hair, this gets better every time i hear it!!!

[Epsilon15]

WOW

[GiGiCage]

my mind = blown.

[Error1355]

Holy crap. Great.

[bbdude777]

These guys should do every Coheed song. Who's up for this? Thumbs up?

[Apocol0id]

@bbdude777 At least two or three more. Or one album. I vote for SSTB. Time Consumer would own with this.

[neuenkirchen13]

one word: fucking amazing !

[supertom85]

6:04 sounds fucking orgasmic

[ballsjohnson54321]

This is amazing I can't stop listening to it. If the Amory Wars was ever made into a movie with some musical parts I'd hope this is what it would sound like.I n some parts the female background leads sound somewhat like ambellina wailing when her wings are burned. Perfect job!!!!!

[Apocol0id]

Whats so great about this is how accurate they are to the original song, they even hit all the right pitches, sing everything just like Claudio does. 

[kittenmow]

I like how they get a bunch of different people to sing the lead and they all do it justice!!

[HopaPlane31546]

now that is cool. :)

[1AmongThePhence]

OMFG this is Amazing! I love you guys for doing this =D PS. this song is #$^%$#%#$ hard to sing as is, let alone all vocals haha.

[supremebeing87]

This is excellent!

[movesinc]

i had no clue this existed.... wow!

[SharinganUser05]

This is probably the most amazing thing I have ever heard.

[WalrusWarrior08]

4 dislikes?...damn you people.

[XaleManix]

You were my favorite.

I want the rest of the lyrics, like what you have in the instrumental parts.

I got two videos linked up just barely off and it gives the song this awesome chorus effect. (there's like 8-12 ms difference between the two songs playing)

[ZoogyDoogy]

OMG ! Amazing ! All that work ! That sound ! Damn ! lol

[brandixlynn]

Wow... This is absolutely STUNNING! I am an AVID Coheed and Cambria fan and this made me feel the same way I did the very first time I heard this song. Great job!

[AtheistCole]

Omgawd!

This is sick!

[caseynotinjapan]

@ciscoo0o Sounds so different than any other acapella I've heard, almost sounds like a remix

[Mojotone18]

You guys definately need to do more Coheed. This is incredible!

[Ted3204]

@WalrusWarrior08 and @JazzmanTheMusicman ... Of course Coheed is progressive rock! if you don't know whst that genre means then look it up! it just means there are a lot of mood changes within the song. I've been a fan of coheed for 10 years now and always considered them progressive.. BTW.. amazing Job UPenn at recreating my fav song of coheed!!!

[elredplague]

@Ted3204 if they're not prog rock then I don't know what is! lol

[CoaCa2113]

Straight Chills yo.... DO MORE COHEED PLEASE!!!!!!!

[shaggydruid]

Holy crap. Amazing.

[caxe7]

@shaggydruid

ill be honest.....i almost did think there were real instruments in the background

its that good

BUT TELLING ME TO SHUT UP PISSES ME THE FUCK OFF

[simplythursday]

seriously. that's all i have to say. honestly now. i'm glued to the computer screen. *ten thumbs up*

[Ne1musicband]

This is amazinggg

[kilgannon91]

Awesome... its awesome to hear a piece of music that combines my 2 favorite genres: anything from coheed and acapella. Its so technically sound and keeps the feeling and tone of the original song. Amazing arrangement.

[JOSmurder]

can't actually beleive how good this is!!! can't stop listening to it!!!

[chingsta99]

Lol this is awesome :), it made me laugh though for some reason, still really good

[amplover444]

great job guys. incredible

[bamsk8cky]

this song is AMAZINGLY AWESOME! i think its funny cuz the opening sounds like they're saying "shut up" a lot lol.

I can't wait for C&Cs new album!

[XxANATAGASUKIxX]

OMG!! I LOVE IT! 5*!

[SheKillsMaiBrainzlol]

Oh my god, I fucking love this <3

[derengo19]

amazing!

[PinkyJezebel]

ok, so I just posted before hearing the end harmony......F'ING UH-MA-ZING!!

[PinkyJezebel]

The coheed covers are my favorite!!

[rrpogiakolang]

love this!

[Sveni18]

just perfect.

[meXmyselfandXi708]

OMG!! this is Great!! i had to have listened to this song about 50 times already! this song is Flawless! You guys should do alot more Coheed songs!

[FeAndPorto]

id rather hear it live

[vaguevocalist17]

I usually hate acapella covers. Especially of rock songs, but this one is actually pretty good.

[WalrusWarrior08]

i was fed wrong information lol! Spring 2010 is the release. Claudio sent me some info on their new album and hit me up with some song names chyeaah!

[danrowlan]

you must share

[WalrusWarrior08]

Could also be a poser but if it IS him then that would be awesome. Claudio said to me that their hardest song yet will be on the new album, "In The Flame of Error." He also said people would like the melodic tune of "When Skeletons Live." Now don't get all pissy and thumbs down on me for telling u this info. I got this supposedly from claudio's page. You can even check it out on my profile. He accepted me friend request! Peace out!

[danrowlan]

Ill take your word for it, and even if your wrong theres no reason to get mad, but thats awesome, I cant wait for their new album

[JazzmanTheMusicman]

stop finding out shit that every other decent coheed fan knows at the same time and pretending you found it out from claudio sanchez. wow, you have the internet and follow them on twitter, WAHEY!.

[WalrusWarrior08]

@JazzmanTheMusicman your cool starting a fight on the internet. First off he's on my youtube friends list. Go judge if he's fake yourself. Now hop off the damn internet you 12 yr old. I'm just telling you what a person said. Didn't ask for your horrible ass input.

[JazzmanTheMusicman]

and you're 'cool' by lying on the internet. And yes the page is obviously fake, especially by the fact of 'this in in no way a fake page', the fact that he doesn't have any need to have a random youtube channel where he just puts random videos of coheed up, and the fact that he puts the bands genre simply as 'progressive rock' , when they have never just classified themselves as that. Either you're lying, or you actually think that it is Claudio Sanchez for some crazy reason.

[WalrusWarrior08]

@JazzmanTheMusicman you dumbass how am i lying? i'm simply stating a message he sent me (which i have saved if u want to see it) no need to be a huge douche. No one knows if he is fake or not. I guess i'll find out for 100% wen the new album comes out. Think before you type homes. Sure you can think he's fake, he probably is. But, i'm just stating what this person said to me. Btw, in an interview they ask coheed what genre they consider themselves. They said progessive rock. Peace out.

[booflesnazzer]

i am speechless. this is brilliant. yeah Co & Ca!!!

[loki210]

Absolutely incredible.

[WalrusWarrior08]

i hope they do a song off of coheeds new album that comes out this fall. I've never been more excited for an album in my liiiiife.

[clannutti]

Waitwaitwaitwait whoa what? New album this fall? Like...Now fall or next year?

[mjherby]

holy crap that was good...more coheed please

[DominicPeppiatt]

This is utterly beautiful.

I must've watched it at least 100 times now. Major, major props.

[joeXeffingXcocker]

sends chills down my spine.

[wowitsjoel]

my 2nd comment, but absolutely wonderful, thank you for not having the retard do his little hand gestures on this one to ruin it...

[rockpapercynic]

Absolutely. Amazing.

[rapsucks9000]

damn i get just as much chills as i do just listening to claudio harmonize with himself on the record. Nice!

[m7ad6e]

i found this from coheeds twitter

[Aurvandil]

wow, as a coheed fan, I absolutely loved this lol :) I watched some other OTB videos, but this performance blew all the others out of the water for me lol

[MK2Fac3]

You guys are fucking amazing! The last part is OUTSTANDING! I want to come to UPENN to see you guys!

[Shchphinkter11]

freaking amazing dog, i love all coheed songs and you certainly did justice to this one, promote this vid and you'd get so many views, hell maybe even claudio himself would see it and if he did i guarantee this would be on their myspace, 6/5 and favorited

[smaynes3]

Actually, Claudio linked this video in a twitter post.

[makkyosky]

I can't go a day without listening to this. Why I haven't found this sooner, I have no idea.

[makilgore06]

lol this is awesome

[supertom85]

i love the female vocals at 2:30 - 2:40

[MCxxWay]

This is so unbelievable!!! My mind is totally blown.

[TheSilentEarth3]

wow epic

[DemonInJerseyCity]

This is SOOO fucking cool.

[pokerkidt11]

Coheed needs to put this on their Myspace. ts epic

[wowitsjoel]

i like...

[GhostOfBrendan]

4:55; it'll give you chills

[autocrossaholic]

you may be a coheed fan but you obviously have no idea what music is. it's acappella, of course it's going to sound less like a metal song.

they did a fucking amazing job adapting and orchestrating this, and it's awesome. a true testament to coheed's brilliant writing and a feat for any group, especially a college troop.

[BurningBlackAtNite]

no im pretty sure i have a good idea what music is i just didnt like it. and what makes u think i expected a metal song...i knew what i was listening to. thats why my mouse cursor clicked on the link to get me here.

[TarekWriter]

Exactly. You know a band is great when their music can be adapted, in its true form, to fit any type of musical attempt to play it. Piano, orchestra, and even acappella. Is there an end?

[kittenmow]

@autocrossaholic Also if the person knew any better they'd know that C&C aren't actually metal...they're more like prog-rock.

[solorathain]

This deserves a favorite. *click*

[Shabutie554]

sounds great

[mimiKOKimi88]

Actually wasn't that bad wow

but nothing can be better than the Actual C&C...

[Godxela18]

gave your ass a thumbs up!

[Aurvandil]

wow you must be right... youve gotten 6 thumbs down... whose the fucktard? :P

[xconcreterainxx]

oh man this bows my mind.

so amazingly awesome.

[Zanny77]

Big fan. I love a capella music, and a huge Coheed & Cambria fan, so this is a match made in Heaven.

[lazyelm]

props guys.  this is freaking awesome.

[kyhoehns]

This is too awesome

[Blobadelics]

bullshti

[listofdemandss]

Wow.

Just Wow.

[shabutie726]

ya'll need to do some taking back sunday

[TopZren]

Shut up shut up shut up

[peleman24]

Excellent! Just as good as the Favor House Atlantic Version too!

[jimmydelicious]

Yup, this wins the prize for best thing ever ever.

[greenhead62]

amazing.

[trebekalex]

this is freaking amazing. :]

i hope you guys do Neverender ^__^

[youreonfiretonight]

shut up

[trebekalex]

no sir i will not

[youreonfiretonight]

well i meant shut up shut up shut up etc

[sk80soarus]

I get it. No one else does apparently (judging by the "thumbs down"s).

[blondchick44]

this is absolutely amazing =]

<3 coheed

[MrEpicPants]

sick dude

[norf7l]

coheed is powerful no matter how its played or sung...these guys snapped the hell off

[rawdawgson]

awesome

[EverythingEvil007]

yeah...i wish they did a whole coheed album...or just do "coheed's greatest hits." but then again...you would have to do all of their songs to do a greatest hits...haha...amazing either way

[Bigbadbobguy]

EPIC version of it though

[HellFire992]

Holy god, this is so epic.

[merlock101]

This song brings me to tears. (Good thing)

[lespaulspecial9]

5:00 when it does the time change is my favorite part and the rest of the song is just phenomenal

[ughxugh]

Neat! I just grabbed this album. I encourage everyone to check it out.

[Lotarro]

It's the best one

[SpinosaurusReece]

hehem

Good Apollo I

[Bigbadbobguy]

are you dumb? this is In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 the album not Good Apollo Volume 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness

[SpinosaurusReece]

i realise.

i was remarking upon someones comment of IKSSE3 being the best album, when i believe Good Apollo I to be better, if only slightly.

no im not dumb, im a huge coheed fan, read the comments again.

[Darthrob1016]

;OOOOO HOLY SHIT they should do an entire coheed album :]]]]

[bacatit]

This is probably the best thing i have ever seen as far as a cover.. I used to like the String covers but this kicks ass!

[Darthrob1016]

but you....you were my favorite....but you you know....you were my favorite :D

[Sveni18]

awesome!

[ErikasFriends]

wow, this is so amazing.

[TsaxMa]

I think I just came....

[whatiscontrol]

Holy crap this is fucking awesome. I love Coheed and I love this song. So EPIC.

[geno121]

[Lotarro]

[als1487]

Amazing. Some great voices, and that arrangement is perfect! Goosebumps indeed. We need more haha.

[venom262]

Absolutely amazing, it gave me goosebumps!

[Godpartyshard]

awesome version of The Crowing! you guys should cover 'In Keeping Secrets In Silent Earth: 3' or 'Gravemakers and Gunslingers.' keep it up! your stuff is great!
