  • their version seems a bit more punk rock which is a cool spin on such a great tune

  • I am a huge fan of both bands but this is not better than the original. The bass needs to be beefier in order to truly argue this point. That said thanks for posting because this is God damn fucking amazing.

  • Better than the original!

  • i like it A LOT but not on the level of the original.

  • listening to local h songs and making a stack of one dollar bills turn from george washington busts into mushrooms. yes, i'm drunk.

  • This is awesome. How do I download it?

  • Local H never disappoints! Come back to the Md. D.C. area guys

  • Went running like a wolf back to the original.

  • The Twilight Singers' cover is better. It's got more soul and intensity. Check it out.

  • @sixshadesofgrey MY COVER IS BETTER. or it will be after i learn guitar and record it FUCK YOU!

  • Anyone remember the covers Kurt did in Live In New York, this shit is good.

  • probably the best cover i've heard of this....now cover "Condition Oakland" by Jawbreaker, and I'll be fucking impressed.

  • FUCKING INSANE

  • Unreal song, unreal cover of it too. Fkn yeah

  • This is one of the best covers EVER!!! Local H ROCKS!

  • @wesdan126 DUDE LERA LYNN's WOLF LIKE ME dedicated to Gerald Smith IT FUCKEN HAS BANJO!! Dont get me wrong this aint bad but its a slice from the same pie just more of the same and they're not a very good cover band they do there best ToTR Dude I dig Local H and all but not my favorite cover of this song BY Link's LONGSHOT!

  • @F00LSG0LD215 Cool thanks, I'll check it out but I still LOVE this cover from Local H! :)

  • not bad. needs more soul.

  • Its not a bad version, its not better then the original though.

  • This is definitely not as good as TV on the Radio's original. But I love Local H so I'm not hating.

  • @polvaultr8 It's tough to recreate the energy that TV on The Radio has with this song, but I agree with you Local H doesn't do a bad version. Some songs are so well written that just about anybody can do it and it sound good, but nothing is like the original. The Pluto Tapes do a really unique cover of it.

  • thats upsetting that people think this is better than the original

  • why do they sound like Offspring???

  • @me0on0utube I don't know, maybe there's something wrong with your speakers?

  • Powerful song. Middle of the road cover. Good musicians. Zero fire and passion. Check TVotR's live versions on youtube for that.

    My meager op.

  • @NYPRBLUE I totally agree, a very simple version of a really intense song...not good not bad

  • Better then the TV on the Radio version, no question.

  • this band is awesome live. they kick asss. second best band next to nirvana

  • It's not a bad Cover but definately not better than the original.. I don't feel it as much in this one.. In the original it evokes more emotion from me.. Maybe im biased cuz the original is my favorite song but fuck it..

  • Local H! I'm def, cool with that! Dig the more heavy drum! Better than the OG! You F..king with me right now? The vocals dont stand up to a snowballs chance in hell!

  • this version sucks way more than the real one

  • @bhanskate So does your step mom.

  • The BEST two man band! How can you NOT like Local H, unless you're stupid dickhead motherfuckers w/shit for brains?!!!

  • What a bunch of fanboys.

    "You've got no taste in music and you really love our band."- Local H

  • This song rocks hard as f*ck, and so does Local H!!!!!

  • Nice. Better then the  original

  • Did anyone know Local H has 1 or more furries in their band?

  • @regulushero Yep, 'tis true.

  • Second best cover of this song Ive ever heard. Best cover version? Look up Lera Lynn's acoustic version. Really good. 

  • my speakers arent loud enough

  • fucking haters, just listen to the album 'As Good As Dead'

    then comment...

  • @deathviautube And Ham Fisted.. Amazing albums..

  • @Voivrenetwork man, i forgot my self then, your right, and ham fisted! :)

  • @deathviautube

    Or fuckin 'Pack Up The Cats' 'Here Comes The Zoo' or 'What Ever Happened To P.J. Soles?' Those four albums are all fucking great.

  • Does Scott have a thing for dummies? They seem to pop up a lot.

  • I think this versions fairly bomb.

  • tv on the radio, wayyyyyy more legit

  • When are all you little cry baby douchelords going to learn that music is an opinion? I like Local H, I have since As Good As Dead, but that doesn't mean that everybody has to like them. Relax, enjoy the music. Or don't.

  • Not many covers are ever "better" than the original. What matters is if they do it justice or not. In this case, they did. As they do with pretty much all of their covers (ex: Toxic). Stop being so goddamn pretentious and just go listen to the original and stop crying about it you big babies. Jeeeeeeeez!

  • Who ever disliked this is gay as shit!

  • yep better than the original -for sure!

  • beast

  • i'm gussing this is the original. But made famous by TV on the Radio??

  • @rally240 No, TV On The Radio is the original. You can just look these things up.

  • @rally240 TV on the Radio is the original.

  • definitely rocking, but the vocals in the original are superior

  • @balibfe I agree. This is a very nice cover, but the original is still a bit better.

  • i love this song, no matter the singer. or the accompanying video. (look for Gnomechewer's Gilnean like me on Youtube. )

  • you know who needs to do a cover of this? turbonegro. that would be sex

  • the whole album this is on is fucking awesome.

    just wish it had more songs on it as more H is always welcome.

    hope they do a mix tape 2

  • @brokenwing36566754  where do you get the mix tape from? where can you buy the album?

  • @rawwkinfool my wife bought them for me off of gabes G&P website.

    if you go to LOCALH.COM theyll link you directly to it.

  • this cover is bomb!!

  • tv on the radio's version/original is the best. sorry. this is good, but it'[s lacking UMPHHH

  • Meh.... Doesn't have anything on the original, in my opinion.

  • this song is just fucking amazing, period.

  • I don't think its as good as the original, but I REALLY dig it, and its good to hear Local H still sounding great, loved them back in the 90s when I was growing up (born in the 80s). I'm gonna play that again!

  • Not bad, but nothing can top TV on the Radio in my opinion. Check out their live version of this song on Letterman.

  • what happened to the black guy??

  • @straightGRIZZLYadams not sure if it was during a tour or not but he left at some point after "pack up the cats" and went to another band. i didnt find out brian was in the band until the night of a show down here in Fl at the house of blues. me and a friend talked to gabe before the show that night and gabe was like " we got a new drummer". fears were put away by the end of the first song as brian broke his drums on the very first song.. we werent missing joe anymore. LONG LIVE BRIAN.

  • I like this version better then the original! Sorry! LOCAL H BABY! CHICAGO ROCKS!

  • Hmm. Very similar to the original, which is fine, but Local H misses a couple of the subtle things that TVOTR hit. Good song choice, and solid execution, but doesn't add much.

  • @ArsenicDrone u're right it's a bit boring

  • @ArsenicDrone Well Local H drums better, sings better, and plays the guitar better...other than that very similar haha

  • TVOTR is all fine and good, but for me, NO ONE can top Local H.

  • Love the feedback at the beginning :D

  • I like the instrumentals, but I don't think the vocals are strong enough.

  • For me it's just a preference on the arrangement, and vocals. I mean each version holds it own. For me, lead vocals in this version is as guttural and aggressive in tone. This song is about being a beast, it's raw and combative...I didn't get that impression w/this version...but that's just me.

  • pew. this is against god

  • its LOCAL H of course it gets a thumbs up and those 2 mother fuckers who gave it a thumbs down...FUCK YOU.

  • Liked your cover, but the fact that you have the arrogance to claim that one version of a song is better than another has lost you a potential fan.

    You should be thankful that people are willing to allow others to cover their songs, their effort, their creations.

  • Ok, I hate to sound like a local h snob, BUT: if you've read anything Scott's said or written about this song, he clearly states the obsession he with it when it came out THAT'S why he covered it. He never tries to out do the original of anything. Music is is passion and when he does do covers, it's because he likes to song and it's a good time for the fans. So TVOR fans can just eat dick when think of stupid shit like "oh it's not as good as the original, blah fucking blah."

  • @hifivnmutha Amen!

  • @hifivnmutha I had and still have an obsession with the original, and love Local H's version just as much. I was happy as HELL when I saw them close one of their shows with it...their version is their own, and so it TVOTR's version theirs. It's like falling in love with two hot chicks...it may not be right, but it's possible. :)

  • I wish I knew how to quit this video.

  • does anyone know where i can download this song?

  • @jmorris724

    Google it

  • @biopsyco666 your comment is garbage.

  • wolf like me is TV on the radio's song...Local H Covered... -  -

  • Good cover, but then again if you take any great song and don't change anything, any competant musicians will make it sound good. i'm more impressed when someone takes a lesser known song and/or changes the style of the music in the cover and makes it their own.

  • to elaborate.. i'd like to hear a sped-up punk cover of this song

  • scott lucas is pure rock and roll genius! i have saw them atlanta four times now and it is never a bad show.... and he sells you your tshirt!!!

  • not same without Kyp Malones back up vocals during the bridge, kinda sucked the soul out of it imo

  • This is actually amazing not as good as The TV On The Radio version but good enough for me

  • good job guys i liked it wish you had made a real video but good for now

  • because this version ROCKS

  • @samurai5625 So True... I saw this Live, and it is better than TV on the Radio's Version

  • @ccmac90 word

  • My band got to open for Local H in 2004 at the Cleveland Music Festival. It was the night before my birthday I've been a Local H fan since the first album. After the show I talked to Scott and we did a bunch of shots together for my birthday..Thanks Scott..Local H rules..I first met Scott and Brian in 2001 after a show at Peabodys in Cleveland class act all the way..

  • This band is just fucking rad man! Scott is Scott, I have met him several times and it's just who he is. The drummer Bian is totally cool and will talk to you as if you've known him all your life. They just rock and if anyone hasn't seen them live, they should check them out for an entertaining show! Peace!

  • haha squidman, you have a point. i don't know though, just seems like he should at least be decent. he wouldn't have a career if it weren't for his fans. he'd probably be delivering pizzas. and that was a joke, so don't be offended, pizza delivery people.

  • Scott Lucas is totally a dick. We saw local h at the state fair and we met them after the show. The drummer was cool. Then again if i was in a rock band and people worshiped me I'd probably be a dick too.

  • local h is bad ass, but scott lucas is a dick. he doesn't seem very fond of his fans.

  • he can be a douche,he made fun of my flannels when he also was wearing one.

  • the original was good, but i actually LOVE the remake by Local H!! they did an amazing job on this tune, just like they did on Toxic! Scott's voice is amazing... whoever doesn't think so too is tone deaf. i swear, he could sing me the names & numbers outta the phone book & i would dig it! Scott & Brian ROCK!!! Local H is my favorite band ;)

  • Local H overrated? thats a laugh seeing that they are one of the most overlooked and underrated bands ever. What other band makes up the lack of a bass player by having the singer/guitarist put bass pickups in his guitar? none. Local H has always been unique by being just a duo. I didn't know that you could judge how good a band is just by the number of members they have.

  • now you're twisting my words. Being a two piece band works in Local H's favor, it shows how talented Scott Lucas is by being able to combine both guitar and bass at once by himself. I didn't have to get that "overlooked and underrated" line from a magazine, thats exactly what they are. Local H should have been huge when they released their album "As Good As Dead" but are still unknown to most rock fans and thats a shame.

  • Um yeah, didn't you twist my words in your reply? Hmm yes you actually did. And yeah sure, the guy is talented, but don't forget that the only reason he combined the two was because he couldn't find anyone to play bass in his band. And considering some of the stories I've heard about him, and my own experience seeing his band live, I'm not really surprised.

  • @samurai5625 their impressing because its only two people playing that music, Scott writes his own music and does a lot of covers and i havent found a song from them i havent liked yet its hard to beleive thats only two people

  • @samurai5625 blame their lack of appreciation on the label they were on. it got sold right when pack up the cats was released. they basically got overlooked by the new label and got no promotion or anything like it. really does suck for them, because htey would have been huge.

  • @samurai5625 When I listen to the radio and they play 90s music I often find myself at a loss. I love NIN, Tool, and Pearl Jam. And then you get the Nirvana fans. But how often do you hear Local H? Or Stabbing Westward, Filter, Sponge, Faith No More, Our Lady Peace... or any of the other really great bands that seem to have been forgotten in such a short time?

  • @samurai5625 nah fame ruins good bands. keeping them underrated is win. just like the eels

  • @samurai5625

    It really is a damn shame.

  • @samurai5625 its not that they are overlooked and underrated, they are just a band that stays true to their roots. rather than get mad famous and sell out enourmous stadiums, they would rather to cheap and free shows around the local chicago area because they stay true to their fans. they dont sell-out for the money. they do it for the experience and for the bands. a true band that embraces the real meaning of music. not something you see nowadays. local h is the best band ever for that.

  • @funkysnoogans Uhhhh, White Stripes, Matt and Kim... and not to mention me and your mom make some pretty kicking sounds too.

  • @funkysnoogans the black keys are good you're just a shitty troll

  • @samurai5625 just a question... does jack white of the white stripes have bass pickups in his guitar? like in seven nation army?

  • @samurai5625 eh, the kills.

  • @samurai5625 putting bass pickups in a guitar has very little to do with mimicking a bass guitar on a real guitar. for your information: scott lucas uses a loop pedal and has a dual output along with other things. A bass pickup is a very small piece that makes VERY LITTLE difference. You can mimick a bass without using a bass pickup. me and a friend build guitars and a bass pickup makes very little difference. a bass pickup is much the same as using a neck humbucker which is a guitar pickup.

  • @funkysnoogans your overrated!

  • That guitar at around 0:54 is fucking awesome. I remember having those little green stickers with the angry faces all over the telephone in my kitchen years ago. ESP is a great company. The Tossers rock. Local H is awesome. I love that guitar so fucking much, I'd have sex with it....

    Oh, this cover is really good too. I prefer it to the original, but I heard it first, so ah well.

  • i rekon this cover sounds too similar to the original to say if its better or worse. i really cant distiguish any originality in this cover. but other than that it is a pretty sweet cover for an awesome song

  • any thing scott touches turns to gold. some might call him a god

  • TVOTR is a sacred thing. That is all.

  • This is good, but nothing beats the original by TV On The Radio

  • Can't but agree. It's good, but yeah, incomparable to the original masterpiece.

  • Agreed, even better

  • better that the tv on the radio version. i saw this live it was fucking awesome. local h Fuck Yeah!

  • I LOVE this Song ! H really did a nice job with this cover.
