  • Just take the video down...what's the point

  • Wtf is this?

  • You can believe me when I say that Warner Music gets jack shit from me these days. The only thing keeping those clowns afloat today are foolish kids.

  • What in the hell is this??? Terrible thing to block the Doobie Brothers.

  • MOST ENJOYED

  • This is poop!!!!

  • Check out the movie "Cabin Fever". Looks like West Virginia. Scary senerio.

    By Eli Roth; about the water contamination and poisoning all who live there. It is still in the water going down the mountain. Horror.

  • not even close to the original, I don't even know this song...blah blah blah

  • I will find a good clip of this song and copy it to downloader. THEN these jerks can pull it every day, and I can just post it up again. Let the bastards sue me

  • wow! it was a great video too for the Doobie Brothers' "Black Water"!!

  • weiner music grou0p strikes again.....

  • What the hell is that??? You idiots just trying 2 force us to do what? I don't know I sure won't be back to your crap! Warning this is not what it says it is!!!!!!

  • @vtheatman This was the original "Black Water", but the audio was blocked by the Warner/YouTube dispute. I was forced to replace the audio with one of YouTube's offerings. If you read the video description, you will see that this is my way of protesting.  I'm sorry you were disappointed. I most certainly was too.

  • @MyLaydy Warner Music don't and won't EVER get a dime from me again. You can believe that shit!!

  • @MyLaydy I'm totally sorry and I hate the way YouTube handles copyright dispute

  • the only thing thats dieing is the talent , 70s was talent !!

  • I have to laugh at the comment that the music business is dying-- the music business is doing fine, and people are paying to download songs by the millions- only the record labels are dying because thechnology has allowed us to cut out the greedy middleman who does little but jack up the price consumers pay and takes off the musician's back end payments. Now if only we can get rid fo the ticket master monopoly too!

  • it would be more correct to say that the music inside the music buisness is dying. very rarely do you find any actual talent. its all jsut rappers singing about whores and guns, or pre-teen idols who get dropped and replaced every six months. classic bands like Zeppelin, Cream, The Who, The Guess Who, The Band (to name a few) are all gone. theres no musicians left in the music industry, just popstars.

  • @nycpow66 hear hear

  • You know what MyLaydy repost the video a couple with the actual song in it. Fuck Warner Music Group. All they want to do is turn youtube into Itunes so they can force everyone to pay to watch videos and so they can shove their god damn corporate advertising down everybodies throat.

  • Unfortunately YT block it as soon as they encode it. Believe me, I've tried! But if you've got a copy of the song, play it while you watch. I think it's a pretty good match. ;-) Thanks.

  • You got that right. Greedy bastards.

  • @PATTONM14A1

    That's just how EVERYTHING is these days...... Fucking Niggers think they can just walk all over us.

  • when using warner music try labeling your vid as educational then they may not be able to mute it.

  • This obviously is a music track from what will be the new Sim City game lol.

  • WARNER IS A CORRUPT COMPANY!!!

  • kakifry is an absolute idiot

  • u Tube sux!!!!

  • then why do u have an account?

  • they should leave u tube alone, i want music, free music., just like the radio, thats free.

  • Comment removed

  • SUMTHINGS  GOING ON.

  • You all need to realize that there are plenty of ways to download the audio parts of videos from YouTube. Basically free MP3s.

  • You may be comfortable with that, but I pay for my music. Pirating music is the reason that the industry in the US is in the shape it's in, and that's what led to the original track of this song being blocked. Buy your music so the artists get paid, and maybe we'll be able to post the songs that we love here again.

  • I was really replying to all the people complaining about the big companies taking off all the songs here.

  • Thanks bob. I like to think that they also enjoyed my video interpretation of the original music. ;) But that can be and has been ripped off too. I don't know what the answer is, but these money-grubbing companies should be looking for one that doesn't keep the music from those who love it and those who just might if they could hear it. Thanks for your comments.

  • AHAHA. You think the money goes to the ARTISTS? Are you high? Take a look at recording contracts sometime. MAYBE 5% goes to the artists. The rest goes to the fatcat MUSIC COMPANIES. THAT is why the industry is on the skids, not YouTube. Get real!

  • its more then 5%

    and those 2 are right you shouldn't pirate music

  • You may think that downloading or "pirating" music hurts musicians in some way, but in reality, it is a godsend. It's the fastest conceivable way on the planet to let as many people as humanly possible sample your music, and therefore, attend your concerts. And if they're dedicated fans, they WILL eventually buy your CDs.

    Many musicians owe all their success to the people who've downloaded their music...without them, they'd have continued to be unknown and never would have gotten anywhere.

  • "You may think that downloading or "pirating" music hurts musicians in some way, but in reality, it is a godsend."......

    .....what he ^ said. ;)

  • @GahDub Musicians need to stop whining and play some music. They complain that live shows are their only source of revenue if people pirate.. Sounds fine to me.. Use CD's and recorded music to get popular and stay in society then make cash doing actual work like the rest of most people. Not saying there aren't a lot of hard working musicians but WOW this is stupid.

  • Desperate money-grubbing assholes.

    The reason they're vainly taking off videos is because it doesn't create enough revenue for them. Pathetic in all sense of the word.

    However if YouTube keeps the videos on, then Warner will cease to exist due to people switching from CD's to digital delivery like this website. So they figured it would be an easy target to attack YT.

    Congratulations, Warner you've stooped to new all-time low.

  • I like teddibearsworld's comment about free advertising. I'll bet I've bought a dozen cd's because of music I've heard on Youtube videos. Anybody have any email addresses we can send protests to? It's probably not just Warner that's responsible. I wonder if a very public list can be established that names the entities responsible for removing the music and videos? It would all change if they started losing money. Too bad, this was one of my favorites.

  • Fuck Censorship.

  • I've sunk a lot of money into Warner Brothers in the past 30 years, and I will NEVER touch anything of theirs until they stop this foolishness. This was free advertising, you stupid assholes!!!

  • Not necessary.  Just buy your CD's used! WB will never get a penny of that!

  • THIS IS PATHETIC.

  • WTF???  Bloody ridiculous!!!

  • VIMEO is a great site to put Your home made music videos...no hassle at all.

  • I have just the place, Valentiae. musicrevolt(dot)proboards(dot)­com

    It's a messageboard designed to define and permanently solve the problems the music industry has created.

    Guests can post in the Problems and Solutions board. Please, stop by and vent!

  • sorry, can't stand to listen to this..... It sure isnt the Black Water I remember......

  • What tha--

    WMG= SCREWING THE LIL PEOPLE...

  • WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP? WHERE'S THE DOOBIES??? I wanted to hear the Doobies, not some techno-wanna be psycho bullshit.....THIS SUX! WHAT A JIP

  • 157,886 people are asking that question?

  • And you're giving me a negative rating for what?? I have a right to be pissed....just who do you think you are?? If you can't handle comments then don't read them.

  • LMAO at mauvewolf's comment!

  • bummerrrrrrrrr !

  • i'd like to hear some funky dixieland, but warner music came and snatched it from your hand

  • I´l never buy nothing from WMG. This is a crime.

  • Lesson to you all: when you see something on YouTube you like, snag it! 'Cause it might be gone tomorrow.

    Plus, if you want to screw Warners, buy their stuff USED. Record companies HATE that.

  • Thanks for your comment Serai3. While I agree with the second part of your comment, the "Lesson" is one of the reasons why we're in this situation. The intent of these videos is for people to experience and enjoy music that they may not be familiar with -- not to have it pirated. If you hear it here and like it, go and buy it, -- new or used.

  • What a waste...

  • WMG is an abusive and coward company. Why doesn't their channel here have a "report" sign, as everyone? Does Youtube presume some users are more 'equal' than others? That means Youtube is a filthy, incompetent, coward, discriminatory company too, doesn't? Who, after all, should be prosecuted? 10000000+ fans or WMG and YT?

  • it happened to half of my videos to.

  • oh that sucks the songs is gone......

    I always come back here to listen..

    Don't these big companies want us to listen to their music?

  • they really don't care what you listen to, they just want you to pay for it

  • this was the only place i could hear the black water and now you changed it to this...why did you do that

  • Read the video description. The explanation is there. The audio was blocked as a result of a dispute between Warner Music and YouTube. Believe me, if I could have it back, I would.

  • The only reason I use YouTube is to conveniently make playlists so that I can practice these tunes in the cover bands I'm in one-right-after-the-other in the order we do them LIVE AT OUR PAYING GIGS WHERE WE GET MONEY FOR COVERING THEIR SONGS!!! Holy crap what stupidity this is. I've never heard one song on YouTube that has quality that was worth downloading for keeps. I own all these songs already. I used to believe this was just a tool. Now I believe everyone involved ARE TOOLS!!!!! = (

  • Thank you GahDub. It's just as glen922 said below. They're losing a whole new generation of listeners, and also those who listen and then buy the cds.

  • NP M'lady. ; ) I just find it so weird to my own personal sensibilities about this subject of copyright law. I am an artist in a few different mediums. Music is one, painting and designing art is another. I have had my good work ripped off before. But, I would NEVER consider somebody grabbing something of mine off of YouTube or an artist's bulletin board threatening to my livelihood at ALL. I say, buy my originals and great prints and download these "mediocre" versions all you want.

  • I can't tell you how many songs and CD's I have purchased because of what I have seen on You Tube, and you and thomasj157 specifically. This is crazy!!!!!! I am so sorry for you and for all of your efforts. I hope you all land on your feet elsewhere SOON! Laurianni

  • Thank you Laurianni, and thank you for stopping by to watch. All they will do by shutting these down is hurt their record sales - as the comment below indicates. Eventually, people will stop coming here to watch and just share their creativity privately. It will serve them right. ;)

  • just out of spite im illegally downloading this song as we speak

  • This isn't the original... This Version sucks

  • Nope, and yes, it does suck. Read the video description for more information.

  • Ruined by copyright Nazis, that think they can sell more copies of CDs by bands no one under 50 has ever heard of by blocking videos that actually feature the music such that it might be shared with and actually catch the interest of a younger audience. Morons!

  • You hit the nail right on the head glen922. They're shutting down free advertising because someone might make a copy of their music. I've got news for them. It's been going on since radios and tape recorders! Thank you. ~~ Lynn

  • wtf is this bs?

  • ok now i know after reading comments.

    just remember that if pesky admins start ruining youtube for all, a new site will take it's place. a site where they no longer have any power.

  • If you find one, let me know. Another site I frequent has started doing the same thing. Seems the record companies have them all running scared. Thanks for your comment.  ~~ Lynn

  • greed + music.

    it's funny when you think how many of the great classical composers made almost nothing and many died poor men.

    i guess in those days the king was the "record company".

    ever since the advent of recorded music... money money money.

  • Sheesh! What an awful thing to do.

    Where's the profit in that??

  • Exactly! They seem to think that we're all ripping them off. I, for one, have purchased many CDs based on music I've heard on YT. Thanks for your comment. ~~ Lynn

  • incredable song by an incredably talented band :) love it

  • Is there no end to their greed? No, of course there isnt!!!..Indeed it IS their loss... not only are they greedy, they are stupid...BOYCOTT WARNERS!

    xox

  • My sentiments exactly! Thank you my friend.  xoxo

  • What they can't stop me doing is playing the song on itunes whilst playing this vid!

    It just goes so well, and if music is about taking you on a gentle little journey, then your videos are the perfect compliment.

  • That is exactly what I hoped people would do! Thank you!! If I could leave them posted without having to swap the audio, I would - just for that purpose. But they are also depriving a whole new audience of the pleasure of listening to this wonderful music, and that saddens me. Their loss though. I've also learned that the blocking isn't random. This was one of 3 of mine yesterday. I guess 1,000,000+ views on my channel has brought me unwanted attention... Thanks again. ~~ Lynn

  • What a disgrace MyLaydy.

    It was such a lovely video set to the music, not set out to make billions.

    Theyve started to do it with a lot of videos as well, for shame.

    Ive had enough of youtube.

    Murdoch, not content with telling lies in out tabloid press you start doing this?

    You really hate the working man don't you?

    Peace myLaydy

  • Thank you tactictoe. This was nothing more than a celebration of the wonderful music of the Doobie Brothers. I do this because I love the music and the process of putting something like this together. All I get out of it is being able to share in the enjoyment it brings through reading and answering comments. But rest assured, Warner won't get another sale from me. Thanks again. ~~ Lynn

  • VIEWERS: WARNER MUSIC AND YOUTUBE BLOCKED THIS VIDEO'S ORIGINAL AUDIO TRACK. I have tried YT's "Audio Swap" and the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, and this is what they selected. No disrespect to the artist, but it obviously isn't a good match, nor would anything be. Isn't GREED a wonderful thing!?! If you've used WARNER-owned music, be prepared -- you could be next! Please join me in boycotting purchase of any Warner-owned music. Read the CD jacket for label information. ~~ Lynn 09-01-23

  • i love this song

  • shuck-m-buck yall got some fancy talkin words.

  • Very well put together video,one of the best that I've seen!Keep'em coming!

  • This song makes me happy, for a few moments...

  • Southern rock mixed with blues is pretty damn close to some versions of country

  • Peace, Life, and positivity. moral love.

  • lol, its southern rock, not country

  • there southern rock

  • soulful......by the time you get to the end of the song, you feel likeyou're in church

  • For some reason, I love this song! Although i HATE country, this is different; more of a bluesy, mellow tune. Great Job MyLaydy.

  • They aren't a country band.

  • Yeah, these guys are southern rock. With some blues thrown in there.

  • Always ggod to hear this song!

  • i've never really thought about how awsome the doobie brothers are... until now.

  • in the second chorus after he sings gunna make avery thing i think he says every thing again not pretty momma... awesome song and i grew up with this kind of music and ill love it 4 ever

  • Fantabulous video! Thanks for sharing.

  • old balack water keep on rlin

  • When u think about southern rock is really real rock because rocknroll was dirived by blues artists(B.B king, Bo didley Etc.) which also came from the south

  • OMG this song is awesome. When I used to live in Georgia, I would go on road trips with my friends to Oxford, MS. It's kinda crazy because you think you are traveling back to 70's and like you are on the set of Dazed and Confused. Than you get their, awesome keggers (like dazed and confused) frat parties, night life, bars, clubs, and live music. Oxford, MS. gets down.

  • You all do realize this is a song about a sucide drowning ???

  • I hope you've got information to back up that idea. I'd be interested in finding out where you found information like that. I'm not sure it's any more than a song written about the wonderful Mississippi and southern lifestyle.

  • Hah??? Where on earth did you get that crazy idea?

  • ur an idiot lol

  • huh?

  • mark twain wrote the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which took place on the Mississippi, which has to do with this song = not random at all.

  • South Carolina born and raised, love music like this!

  • The south will survive on catfish and Music like this..!

  • Whole album was good.

  • Jesus is Just alright.

  • damn, ya'll. "yea, i'd like to hear some funkey dixie land, pretty mama come n' take me by the hand...." mmm mmm mmm!

  • yea me neither

  • holy shit, i didnt know this was the doobe brothers too

  • Southern born and bred down here in Alabama, and I gotta say from my experience: there's nothing better than some funky dixieland! I love this song

  • Real folk music,When I lived down south with my mom I remember listening to lynyrd skynyrd,etc,Eating cornbread,catfish,fried chicken.

  • love this song..haven't heard it in long time. who wants to dance?

  • Very nice music video.I'm now a transplant in Southern Indiana in the land of watery grits which makes one appreciate what ones the music that one was brought up on. I can remember when I was very young going on board the U.S.S. President and doing the night time cruise with my parents and my sister and dancing as much as my parents all night long and my cloathes would be soaked with sweet. At that young age somewhere before six I didn't want the nights to end. The music and the city is great!

  • I havent heard this song in years, great song and a fantastic and well made slideshow! Kudos to you MyLaydy.

  • we're reading huckleberry finn in school right now and i'm constantly thinking and singing this song =)

  • me 2 lol but i just sing it in class not reading huckleberry fin reading the westing game

  • Mr. Mark Twain was a god!? song never gets old.

  • This is one of my favorite Doobie Brothers songs, so glad to see this song went #1 on the Billboard Top 100 Charts in the late winter of 1975

  • yeah, now what do we have topping the charts? I suspect something with a rapper talking about his cars or shooting somebody. ah the good old days.
