Alkaline Trio- The metro

[misterjingles666]

gives*

[misterjingles666]

this dives the song the true punk feeling that it deserves

[Metaltherebel92]

Third version off the song I have heard, not bad.. Still, SOAD is the best for me. Probarly because they are a band I actually listen to, and I heard their first :) They are the only one really making it "heavy" in the chorus, that`s one off the things that make it cool. I can`t deny it was a catchy song from the start though, so good job Berlin..

[tamagotchiBTX]

can you even UNDERSTAND what the hell they're saying on the SOAD version during the chorus part?

[Floydthefuckbag]

Alkaline Trio covering Berlin and every comment is about System of a Down.

Shut the fuck up. If you like SOAD's cover better, go listen to that one. Simple as that.

I don't go on the SOAD version and whine about how this one is better.

[tamagotchiBTX]

It's funny how people suddenly know every shit there is about a band after reading info's from the internet.

[asrgames]

Actually, System of a Down are not Nu-Metal. They are in fact a mixture of Progressive/Alternative/Experi­mental Metal, and this version is awesome, but not better than SOADs version.

[Riotman898]

Everyone needs to agree to disagree about whether or not SOAD did a better a version or Alkaline Trio did. Let's all just agree they're all better than the original version by Berlin.

[Floydthefuckbag]

@Riotman898 I wont agree to that, and I'm a big Alkaline Trio fan.

[cyanideRAWKS]

If you've never heard it, go check out The B Foundation's cover of this, but it's 11:31 and it's a dub version. It's amazing.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

NO ELECTRO? SONG FAILS.

case closed

[Necropedocoprophilia]

All System of a Down fans are twelve year olds.

The comments on this video are proof.

[melissapunx11]

@Necropedocoprophilia Huh, I didn't know I was 12.......

[destroydisneyclub]

Both SOAD's and Alk3's versions are good. However I do enjoy SOAD's more.

[WhereDidItRun]

Where is "Fuck you for loving me" line?

[dmcavey]

Booo this emo shit....System's cover of this is way way better

[naota888]

Alkaline Trio is better. By a lot.

[HydroxylGroup]

London rain... tell me about it! ;)

[cs16rlz]

cool song (i hurd all three versions.. soad's, the original and this one and all 3 are cool)

[TheProffesor10]

wicked bass!

[DangVegan]

they make this sound like a Sublime song

[BrenMan94]

I like this more than SoaD's version. It's much more basic and I can hear each individual instrument much better. Plus I don't have to yell.

[cs16rlz]

@BrenMan94 guys the SOAD cover of this song has like 10 years XD, the band wasn't even that recognized like now a days.. serj's english was not that good

lol, still soad's version is much more rough than this and the original, soad's "the metro" is a punk version XD

[Psychowilly]

@cs16rlz Serj moved from Beirut to the US when he was seven and was enrolled in private school for Armenian- Americans, I doubt his english speaking was an issue.

[Necropedocoprophilia]

@cs16rlz System of a Down is a nu-metal band, Alkaline Trio is a punk band, and you're saying System of a Down's version is punk?

Go shoot yourself you stupid fuck.

[unnAMDable]

@Necropedocoprophilia why don't YOU shoot YOURSELF fk face ;D ...

soad's cover is not close to be metal...they sped it up and it's a lot close to "agressive" punk...

i bet you know shit about music...

trolls....trolls everywhere...

you need to go to a fucking psychiatrist...

and get your ears checked.. because it's clear that you're absolutely fucking deff...

...it's so fucking easy to insult... it's hard to pull a smart comment..

your lack o musical ear just makes me sick...

[CountDruckula]

@unnAMDable "aggressive"? don't you mean HARDCORE?

[unnAMDable]

@Necropedocoprophilia PLUS.. i forgot to tell you that soad's ALTERNATIVE METAL ... you my friend know shit about music.. your insulting comment is a proof...

[Necropedocoprophilia]

@unnAMDable System of a Down is nu-metal. Get over it, you stupid fucking kid.

[unnAMDable]

@Necropedocoprophilia how old are you dude? i forgot about this issue XD

you should go and si a doctor.. because you're mentally unstable,,, get a fking life fat ass

btw i know that soad's nu-metal boy... i've been listening to SOAD for almost 8 years.. so..stfu, drink a glass of milk, and go back to bed.... ok? now carry on your worthless little life n.n thank you

[unnAMDable]

@unnAMDable *see

[Necropedocoprophilia]

@unnAMDable tl;dr

[NeroAtsumori]

@unnAMDable Sorry, bro. SOAD's Nu-metal.

[metalcruzer]

These guys sound like they would do a good Smiths cover. Dig the original and System's is crazy good.

[NeonStarr0067]

All three versions are good. It's kinda hard to mess such an awesome song up.

[eastballa16]

I was on a Paris train....I EMERGED IN LONDON RAIN!..... Haha Singing this at a bar = good times

[augiebell]

@Theitchiestbeard dude its a bitch to play on guitar.

[NefariousDreary]

@augiebell really? I think it's pretty easy.......

[augiebell]

@NefariousDreary depends on how uyou play it. i learned the fucked up way

[NefariousDreary]

@augiebell I don't understand.......

[augiebell]

@NefariousDreary people learn it mostly so its played on more than one string and the notes are closer together i didnt

[NefariousDreary]

@augiebell oh I see, hehe. No wonder why it's a bitch for you to play on guitar.......yup, for the main riff it's 3 strings and I learned that by ear.......You, yourself can still learn it properly. It's kinda back to square one but lt'll be worth it......

[augiebell]

@NefariousDreary i learn most trio songs by ear but this one i couldnt do it for some reason

[syndawg89]

Not that I could do any better, but this isn't much cop compared to the original or soad.

[liloodallas]

System of A Down RULES.

[jerri03713]

Lol, the first time I heard this song I thought I heard, "Swimming through a pile of cheese" instead of "apologies".

[ladygagalovr727]

Berlin's is way better

[schitzophrenatic]

wow... lames... great song and band...

[adamshaker13]

COMPARED TO SYSTEM THIS FUCKING SUCKS

[tunarulesatca]

This song kicks ass!

[pwntacious]

this sounds just like Berlin, instead of the girl singing its a guy. Nothing special. System of a down changed the song and made it so much better. SOAD Forever!

[pwntacious]

System of a down forever!!!

[Gravity1665]

such a cool bass riff and sonunds so much better with guitar i think.

[TheDeeviilBooy]

SOAD version SUX! Alkaline Trio ROX! ...lol

[prettynoose89]

@TheDeeviilBooy I agree bro.

[TheMcmarchelo]

this is gay... SOAD rocks

[semitar6]

I dont think either version is that great...but like some classics, there are songs that maybe people should cover..this is probably one of them.

[Nndankn]

got me thinkin bout the past wishin it wasnt so crass

[kovalevMTL]

My first Alkaline trio song..it was on the Vagrant Records CD. they had like 3 I think. took me a few years to find out its a cover.

[Gravity1665]

@kovalevMTL me too.

[bloodfang100]

This version sounds closer to the original

[Nndankn]

yeah i feel like the best covers will imitate who the'yre covering like an homage to the original performer, not really tryin to knock people who do it in their style completely just my 2 cents...

[fuckamericanidiot]

@Nndankn yeah hopefully they just went down the drain without anyone noticing.

[NOFXNTAH]

the system of a down version is garbage lol

[prettynoose89]

@NOFXNTAH System of a Down in general is garbage.

[dubladorv8]

@NOFXNTAH

i like the both plus berlin version \õ/

[yeseniaaaBATMAN]

i like it x] wayy better than system of a down's cover!

[soad4verr]

this so bad!!! meaning with covers is to make it to ur own, dont fucking sound all way like the original!!! listen to system of a down's version !!

[dcondax]

This song is originally an 80's song by Berlin. Both System's version and Alkaline Trio's versions are both covers.

It's music, don't say that one is better than the other because they're both interpretations.

Don't be a mindless moron when commenting on someone's work.

[russianroulettebob]

way better than Alkaline. by far

[PunkInDrublic77]

I'm alone sitting with my empty glass!!!

[rancidpunk910]

Yeah System and Alkaline trio covered this. system did it on their untitled demo tape in 1995 and Berlin released it in 1986(?). I like the system one tho bc serj does a weird little part thats gibberish then a growl thats kinda quiet and it makes me laugh haha

[alexander25rugg]

vagrant records!

[Wyrzykpl]

I listen to the recent Alklaine Trio, and the regrets of them I discovered so late. sorry for my English

[Gronkepirl]

@cezosin You are shit!

[nathanjcole]

Dude, they copied System of a Down.

[zinodikudu]

The song is by Berlin. SOAD and the Trio both did covers.

[sociald666]

I KNEW it sounded familar!!!

[kiwisch]

@nathanjcole are you serious?! This is an original by Berlin. System of a Down cannot wrote this song. Berlin wrote it in the 80's where SoaD doesnt even exist.

[BLUDthirster45]

@nathanjcole

soad did a cover.

i think both are actually pretty good.

[sheolthIX]

i have a question if you don't like this version why the fuck would you take time out of your day just to say it's retarded and gay? i understand your an attention hogging ass hole but if you really waste your day commenting on how much you dislike something how little of a lif must you have?

[SuperElo2008]

I just love the song. The SOAD Version, this version and of course the berlin Version. You know which Version is good, too? The one of John Frusciante!

[rastasova]

soad is better, but you haven't heard a Gridlock cover on this song )

//rasta_rus

[uchihaeternal]

ruined the song

[Jazzv2]

SOAD's version rulez!!!

[zodiak650]

This version of metro is fucken gay.  I rather listen to Berlin's original than this weak shit. I guess some people like feminant vocalists and rainbow flags. I cant knock them for that, but this version fucken sux ass.

[Jordarnm]

Get a lobotomy and a vasectomy, you waste of genetic material.

I don't even like the band.

[zodiak650]

Jordarnm, if I was you I wouldn't even talk. You should do the whole world a favor and go kill yourself. I seen the music that you listen to on your page. Pretty gay if you ask me, you are 20 years old and listen to Les Miserables and Cole Porter. Looks like you are the waste of genetic material. Do the whole world a favor and just shoot yourself. Before you try to talk trash, look at yourself in the mirror. Just by the looks of what you listen to, you are for sure a 20 year old virgin.

[Jordarnm]

That's real cute, sweetheart. You go play with your toys, hmm?

[redcthulhu]

Hey man, don't mess with Les Mis. Cole Porter, I can do without.

[AngryNicklos]

You know who plays 'The Metro' the best?

Berlin.

[pitoull77]

I like SAOD's version better, this basically is the original Metro played with distortion, even the solo is the same thing... you can't realy tell the dif between the two. SOAD def made it more of their own.

[RabbitBeast]

SOAD made a better version + they made it as a demo.. there are no FUCK YOU! for loving me in this version? & vocals = wtf

[zodiak650]

RabbitBeast, you gotta remember that half of these people aren't rockers like people like you, these people prefer feminent rock. Stuff like alkaline trio, alien ant farm, cold play and other sissy shit. Im a hip-hop head so I'm not biased but this new school sissy rock shit just plain sux ass. Nobody likes to hear grown men crying on a song.

[Gronkepirl]

@zodiak650 Fuck hip-hop

[alexander25rugg]

yes indeed!

[deathtrap1112]

@zodiak650 Wait, so some guy complaining on a rock song is just wrong, when every single hip-hop song ever is about complaining that someones baby left him, and most rock songs are not. Its called singing, something hip-hop artists cant do with out some kind of electric thing behind them, Rock require talent and hard work, while hip-hop is standing in a room talking into a microphone while everyone else does the work

[lordjpo]

I like the SOAD version better but I must say that this cover is closer to the original which is great and bad at the same time.

@deathtrap1112

What?!?! I'm not a huge fan of hip-hop but good rappers are as good as rock singers... it's just wrong to anwser back at someone who is wrong with something which is also wrong :P

[BlackJax95]

@zodiak650 Im pretty sure this is actually indie rock so fuck off

[howdyhoyo]

@zodiak650 nobody likes to see grown men with pants to their ankles. pants on the ground, mother fucker. don't put coldplay and alient ant farm in there with alkaline trio. that's some convoluted shit

[IrIsHpUnKScOoL]

@zodiak650 dumbass why are you even here????

[IrIsHpUnKScOoL]

@zodiak650 no offence....

[yankees9868]

@zodiak650 1 word for you HOMO!!!!! FUCKING JEW!! go to hell hiphops gay

[yamahaboy57]

SOAD bitches

[SunDevil1984]

This coming from a huge SOAD fan... no way their version is better than this. This version is SICK!

[davidp1311]

OMG, this is better than Soad's cover????

Sory tell but the people who says that doesn't now what good music is

[lifeisgood1013]

@davidp1311 Music is subjective, you stupid asshole.

[ganjitas]

THAT SUCKS !!!!! soad is better !!!!

[sv3rige]

Best version.

[Zaner991]

This is a great version; Berlin's John Crawford would be proud.

SOAD's version sux big time tho.

[TheLeakySon]

I feel like... while system of a down did make the song sound very system of a downy... this version is better. I just think it's a better cover. It def. captures the emotion of the song better. the SOAD version just has Serj being all doomy and creepy and then Daron being all crazy and Daron. I feel like their vocals are kind of a one trick pony. Don't get me wrong... I do love some of their stuff. This one just takes the cake.

[djh8190]

i almost like system of a downs cover better because it made it sound different. this just sounds like a rock version of the original. a cover should sound like your own. motherfucker.

[shadowcloud5]

@TheLeakySon I totally agree with you ^_^

[StreamLineTeA]

system of a down's is the best!!!

[Xymoxification]

@StreamLineTeA That's the worst version. Listen to Gridlock's version.

[prettynoose89]

@StreamLineTeA No, they really aren't.

[gergaginflopple]

@StreamLineTeA

The original is the best, I like this one second most, and SOAD's least, not that it's a bad cover either. Just my least favorite.

[agentakb]

@StreamLineTeA No

[PunkInDrublic77]

I love this cover

[xxxScreamoKid16xxx]

this is awesome. but I think that the SOAD version owns this one bar none

[Kolzig37828]

To the comment below me...

It is a COVER.

[TimmyRamone]

Good...but it's kinda...too much of a copy of the original, SOAD's version is better.

[rdchili69]

SOAD's version sucks, this is the best version bar none.

[NickJonas6678]

this is ok but soads version is about a million times better.

[hollium]

Your username is NickJonas6678. You are not allowed an opinion.

[NickJonas6678]

I don't like the Jonas Brothers. And ye I can have an opinion.

[hollium]

Are you deliberately trying to speak in Olde English?

Oh, judging by your YT profile, probably not.

[NickJonas6678]

look on my proflie. I made an anti Jonas Brothers vid. and, I said on it I dont like them.

[hollium]

It's not about you liking the Jonas Bros - have you even read through your 'about me' bit?

"~I love Metal, Hard Rock, and Rock.

~ummm ya.

~I'm random. Fritos! lmao see?"

[NickJonas6678]

and...? If ur tryin to make me mad its not workin.

[doogie9654]

3:22 "Suck it asshole" Is that on the song or is that something the poster put in the song themselves?

[Gronkepirl]

I allso tought it was suck it asshole, cuz it really sounds like that, but it is sorry assholexD

[euansheridan]

yeh it is in the song

[eltrut96]

SOAD's cover is too spazzy. It's like they go into a epileptic fit. =P

[hollium]

Stop arguing! Sheesh.

SOAD changed it completely, because they didn't want to do a carbon copy of Crawford's original. That's fine, I rather like it, because the music isn't just changed from one instrument to another, and they've played around a lot with the drumming.

This one...well, as much I do like Alkaline Trio, this sucks balls. Primarily because they've just changed the synth to guitar, directly transferring the melody from one instrument to another. Now stop arguing!

[bladedsilence]

This is a very well thought out comment, and for the most part, I agree. But the arguing will never end.

My personal opinion, I like this version. Just trips my trigger. But, I agree. The bitching should stop. This song is fucking awesome regardless of who's covering it.

[screechwashere]

like some1 already said this is like the between between soad's and berlins..... both those were good, this one was bland as fuck with no energy

no wonder these guys suck so hard haha

[AliceCullenTH]

no matter how much a love A Kiss Could Be Deadly and their music their cover is not as good as this!

[dumdum864]

myrulzzz

is it B.Y.O.B lol dumdum

[Nancycarigen]

I like both bands but, i think this cover is way better than soad's

[AceGT09]

this is like a bridge between the original and the soad version. except the vocals are worse then either version.

[Ramonesordie]

This is actually a pretty good cover, unlike SOAD's. SOAD completely ruined this song. The Berlin version will always be the best, but this actually comes close.

[MacromediaXD]

Thats an opinion, so you should add in "i think" to avoid argument.

[euan182]

"i think" (see what i did there) that the fact that they are just being alkaline trio and not so much like berlin makes the song a bit more personal to the band. thats the point in a cover wouldnt you say?

besides... Plus 44's version was the best =p

[euansheridan]

hmmm i like plus 44s cover but i prefer this one........and no i do not see what u did there :P

[oddduck333]

I like System's version better. Don't get me wrong, I like this one too, but System's is just awesome.

[myrulzzzz]

Alkaline Trio is an great band but system of a down is better i love the song called BYOD by soad:D

[EllieMoles]

It's brilliant.

[Billyofmorrell]

yeah system of a down made it their own by castrating it.

[pap2k8]

lol alkaline trio...i dont like them generally...i tihnk they are quite shit to be honest...system of a down however did such a good cover of this song and made it to their own style, that is talented. this cover by alkaline trio is basically the same as berlin just in a rock way.

[strictlycomeranting]

..what the fuck is wrong with doing a cover that sounds similar to the original? At least it does the original justice. SOAD themselves said their cover sucked ass. This is an awesome version of a great song.

[debaser777777]

i like SOAD but their cover of this song is just awful. what's wrong with rockin out and doin justice to a great song? it's far better than trying to reinvent it and failing miserably.

[EngalazinOwninU]

SOAD owns them totally in this cover =/

[TheRamie]

This is way better than SOAD version

[alk3tom]

Thank you

The SOAD cover sucked balls

[mllj0]

Wow, way to be a good human being and not be a total hipocrit or a total inhumane faggot. Congrats, not only did you make yourself look like the total outspoken douche that you are, but you also try'd to stereotype this whole 'cover' thing into a way different proportion. THEY ARE BOTH COVERS, EVERYONE LIKES DIFFERENT THINGS. You don't have to bitching though that this one is SOOOO much better, butthole.

[alk3tom]

1. I know they are both covers you stupid piece of shit

2. I still think the SOAD version Sucks balls

and im not bitching, i jus like the fact that i see a comment sayin this version is better, which i agree with by FAR

3. why the fuck did you say "butthole" wat r u 2?

[mllj0]

Wow.

ITS VERY FUCKING OBVIOUS THAT YOU KNOW ITS A COVER. Not only are you contradicting yourself, but you're also, STILL, being a total hipocrite and a inhumane douche bag.

2. I don't give a shit if you think the SOAD version sucks, I didn't even mention it, dumb shit.

3. Is that ALL you can come up with? "OMFG, HE SAID BUTTHOLE OOOOO" I'm so sorry if I had insulted you by saying a substitional word instead of saying asshole. BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE.

[Gronkepirl]

Can you 2 shut up?

[alk3tom]

yeah, sorry, its jus kinna fun to reply to him though lol

[myrulzzzz]

hahahahahaha i just cant stop laughing wat a stupid fight:P

[alk3tom]

fights are always fun on youtube, im really not even pissed at him(or her) its jus kinna amusing lol

[myrulzzzz]

lol

[lmkskater]

its called metro not the metro

[GoGoJackieO]

Bella Morte's cover of Berlin's Metro is the best I've ever heard

[PermaFrost0820]

it is a cover for berlin dumass

[squirrelboy]

This sounds like Berlin...almost exactly like Berlin.
