Deftones - Simple man

[luissimao83]

earing old Deftones is always refreshing...oh and this song is perfect

[natalia007ish]

Waste ..what crap..lemme do a cover in a scuba suit n mask,great idea!

[DJBoxhouse]

@natalia007ish because the music video/what they're wearing is the main focus, and not what it sounds like. right? I have a feeling you have a shit taste in music anyways, so don't worry about your opinion so much next time, it ain't worth shit apparently if you're judging sound on image.

[MrPranksteer]

@DJBoxhouse well she actually favorited a nicki minaj song. i rest my case. her opinion doesn't matter.

[ridekawi09]

what a horrible cover

[huey00045]

Eh it's an OK cover. And I am a huge fan of both bands.

[Ethanride]

This is the only good cover of this song. Its about as good as the original. Some would say its even better.

[sanyocorp]

@Ethanride Agreed. A great cover and tribute, reflecting the atmoshphere and the tempo of the original. What I like the best are the guitar sounds and Chino's voice of course! Easily one of my favourites.

[mistoner72]

this is a great cover!!!!! they are not suppose to sound like skynyrd.... they are suppose to sound like deftones and put there own twist to what ever they cover!!!!

they did a great job!!

[jiminycricket69]

@mistoner72 definitely. they rival skynards version in my mind.. but im a deftones junkie... they both rock ma socks

[halpwr]

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold; All that you need is in your soul

[latexblanky]

i like deftones, but no. just no. can't even come close to skynyrd on this one

[LuisFelipe570]

Fuck! Why this hasn't 50.000.000 views?!

[petrolpumps]

this and 'No Ordinary Love' are two of the best covers I've heard .... Bearing in my mind my favourite Defontes song would be 'Lifter', I think Chino has the most unique vocal style (along with Billy Corgan) of any rock frontman

[THCgoon57]

i like justin biebers version, 

[samimiracle18]

Amazing song, Even better with Chino Moreno's voice.

[rokinFCC]

Deftones is my favorite band but I must say Simple Man is a delicate song; not one to alter the vocals. Disappointed in the vocals, but I like the instrumental. What's my opinion worth though... don't take it personally (to all those who...).

[EyeRing100]

One of the best covers of any song.

[89jle]

@Vigilante606

I was in a bad mood maybe.....I listened to it again and I appreciate his originality.

[ccbaxter4]

better than original

[nolikecarrot]

finger up if your listening this in 1912

[wthlolrofllmao1234]

@nolikecarrot are you fucking high off your ass?

i dont even know what you mean?

maybe i'm high?

[89jle]

Deftones blow, he needs to stop whining. Leaving this comment at 2:00 cause I thought it would get better....it did not.

[TheGhettoFineLaxer]

@89jle Umm.. You need to stop whining.

[Vigilante606]

@89jle You've never heard the original version? The one thats been done by countless others?? Sounds perfect like all the rest. My opinion and yours too of course, but I feel you waste time putting a comment about something you dont like, especially with a dislike button right underneath the video. Just saying man, it sucks

[oldrockrules100]

Kavin krub likes weener in his but haha

[kavinkrub]

FUCK YOU ALL and don't press like



[PiensaBreezy]

Deftones' covers are amazing, this is actually the first time I've heard their beauty. 

[Haidle7758]

This definitely doesn't have the southern rock feel to it in the vocals... It's like you're listening to a sex song or something. XD

[AstarothOI]

I love this cover

[Bookie784]

I dont like the deftones version. I love Deftones though.

[cammack07]

@Bookie784 fuck you

[Bookie784]

@cammack07 There a good band but they should not have covered this song....sorry

[Mezey5]

why so much fighting between Shinedown and deftones, Two different bands two different sounds, both bands are paying tribute to Lynrd Skynrd, I think both did remarkably well.

[PiensaBreezy]

@Mezey5 Well said!

[Ultimateavatar100]

I put this to 1.5 speed, the guitar and drums rocked

[tife192]

yo this make u think about life n if u livein it right i love this song simple man all we can do it be our self no one eles live life.

[tife192]

yo this shit go heard i like this who all them last night i was high i wish i had this song.

[nwcdesigns]

Deftones = A Soundgasm!

[TheGhettoFineLaxer]

@yosimite20 It's better not to insult deftones in such a fashion

[theMenace985]

Why are there so many shinedown fanboys on this vid, go spew shit somewhere else you mindless, no taste in music waste of human life! Let the rest enjoy the music because its a COVER its not supposed to sound like the original.

[pogmstillfly]

Been really down the last few months...I keep falling but this version of the song slows me down a little bit.

[PrimeDirectiveDjs]

1oo dislikes = 1oo assholes

[dupersloby]

@PrimeDirectiveDjs sorry to hear about your keyboard! :(

I hope your 0 key gets better soon, okay? :)

[DJBoxhouse]

@PrimeDirectiveDjs

I love this song, but you're more an ass than them - it's what the like/dislike feature for. someone doesn't agree with your opinion so they're wrong eh? how pompous and stupid of you. I gave it a thumbs up, but you get a thumbs down.

[CrazySamantha0214]

Love this cover.. I think this and the one by Shinedown is the best cover Skynyrd. :)

[NativeNaziViking]

@CrazySamantha0214 agreed, i personally like shinedowns better but still this is one of the best

[CarKrashed]

This is on the B Sides and Rarities Disk. I'm sure Amazon has it.

[frankthetank2710]

wher can i buy this from????

[trustook]

Great song good cover n I think lynyrd Skynyrd doesnt care to much for black people, So what love Deftones for life.

[maribeltst]

This cover rocks morons! Fudge you!

[asdfghjklsara]

@ookamiwolf97, hey guess what you ignorant illiterate twat. I said I fucking LIKED the song. So you shut the fuck up. Damn. Tryin' to get in people's shit dude. You don't know me, so hop off.

[NativeNaziViking]

@asdfghjklsara *knuckle bump*

[YesLloyd94]

the haters just dont understand the style in which chino sings

[hjtrevers]

You can always tell if a cover (or at least not a straight imitation) is good by the amount of arguments it causes about not sounding enough like the original. Personally I like it but if you don't I'm not going to beat you up over it.

[yosimite20]

Reminds me of Load and Reload era Metallica, without the singing

[countrysucksallot]

Someone told me This cover was brilliant... proud to say i'm the 100th dislike. If you're gonna cover this song don't half whisper the whole time and sound like you're on pills. No offense. But this cover sucks. I'm sure they're a great band though. Just not the right song to cover.

[wonderwall135]

@countrysucksallot Well I don't think he's whispering. did you even listen to it? That's just the vocal style of the vocalist. Well, to each his own.

[reaper5813]

honely i Deftones are good but they shouldnt have coverd this song it sucks shinedown was a good one but none can beat lynard on this song srry

[livesforthemusic609]

@reaper5813 lol you really have no idea what a cover is my friend, you should prolly just go listen to something else(not cover related) its not about beating anyone its about showing that you love the song you are covering putting your twist on the original. and deftones did just that this is a fantastic "cover song".

[jimgreco666]

version.

[jimgreco666]

you guys are fucking idiots this is way worse then shinedown's versio.

[MetalJunky2010]

whats the deal with trashing over covers just enjoy deftones, i like both, sick of seeing people spit shit on band videos.

[XxriflexpertxX]

Why are people talking about that shit band shinedown on a deftones video? Shinedown is fucking trash mainstream shit.

[joelk672k8]

@XxriflexpertxX are you retarded shinedown are not shit neither are they mainstream, before you go commentt on something else teach yourself something and look up what mainstream means because it's clear you don't.

[maiconmzp]

in the chorus, does he say "and be so great" ?

[raiden1220]

Fucking dumb assess deftones are the bomb what kind of queer,homo, fagget,trany, fudge packing name is shinedown fuckers please deftones rule!!!! (listen to the name deftones) its origional not something that your little sister made up when you hear the name deftones you imagine metal, when you hear the name shinedown you imagine Fucking unicorns, rainbows, barbies and everything gay faggs!!!!!

[pelicanflashdance]

I get goosebumps everytime I hear this! :)

[RobsMusicPlaylist]

Shinedowns front man can sing his fucking heart and soul out. This queer sounds like a limp dick faggot that cant fully express the meaning of the words with his shitty voice.

[suicidesucks08]

@RobsMusicPlaylist wow and that coming from you means what to who? nobody

[suicidesucks08]

@RobsMusicPlaylist Are you concerned with the health of his penis? thats pretty bad ... someone who is nobody caring more about someone else's genital region then their own life...

[boredomtube]

@RobsMusicPlaylist

haha keep listening to nickleback you fucking drip fed musically devoid cunt

[ihatefuckinglogins]

fuck this cover is awesome. go fuckself

[asdfghjklsara]

Fuck you all this song is the shit.

[ookamiwolf97]

@asdfghjklsara Fuck you asdfghi. etc...!

Man this song is a reponse to Lynyrd Skynyrd, like the vote up button...

But they aren't lazy like you, they like to do something to show someone that they like their song...

That's more exhausting that clicking on a Like or Vote Up button!

Man, shut your fucking mouth you're the only one with this opinion!

And why are you listening to this song if you don't like it???

If you don't like it, just shut your fucking mouth!

[TheSlackassCrew]

gay

[FlinFlon666]

love this cover

[rollyvera]

Was played at my friends memorial.service

[coolcatjeremy]

@UnrealSoldier666 hey fuck you! Shinedowns cover is 10000000000x better then this. This is amazing to though. Shinedown has more emotion and clarity while this is darker and relates more to now a'days. Down just be an idiot, put some thought into it.

[suicidesucks08]

@coolcatjeremy @unrealsolider666 Idiots would be people who argue what bands cover is better... they are both good be happy they both made a cover...

[ilovewrestlinganddbz]

Instruments somewhat sound like a Kiss tune besides Chinos voice :3 loves it though

[2GreenBlue]

@Donovanarchy actually i never heard of shinedown but when i did they sounded like a cheap wannabe version of seether, deftones has been famous for way longer and has completly orginal music that people actually enjoy, i would never pay to see shinedown in concert but i would give my left nut to see deftones again.

[2GreenBlue]

@UnrealSoldier666 totally agreeable

[MrFuckassnigger]

Great cover! stayed true to the original

[6Sutter6Kain6]

Like this if your listening to this in 2012!

[DrewBulmer]

@6Sutter6Kain6 lol

[6Sutter6Kain6]

@DrewBulmer lol

[MetalWillRule666]

Who gives a crap about Shinedown, if you want to talk about Shinedowns cover do it on that video!!

[krisKM]

sat and listened to this with Chi and his mom recently. special, special people.

[ihatefuckinglogins]

fucking tight jam

[TheDavidson10]

i paused my porn for this

[Mindux518]

@TheDavidson10 dude u are my hero :D

[thewoolycontacts]

@TheDavidson10 you could just have them playing at the same time.

[stereoarchitect]

@TheDavidson10 you sir are a gentleman and a scholar-

[IrishMick71180]

Not even close to lynyrd, but way better than shinedown. By the way im a fan of the deftones

[49gbear]

A great song, regardless of who plays it. Kudos to any band that feels it and makes it their own. Check out Government Mule's cover for another approach.

[dondabulla]

DEFTONES MY MAN BEST BAND EVER , ADRENALINE it has been the best alternative metal album of all the times

[MrFREEBIRD14]

This is way way way better than shinedowns version. I couldnt even sit through shinedowns version it sounded so shitty.

[GaByAnDjAsOn]

this song reminds me of my dad O.O

[TheHarleyWatson]

@GaByAnDjAsOn you have no idea homie,,

[tres050507]

much better cover then shinedowns cover,

[TheKOL30]

My favourite band does a cover of one of my favourite songs,. Is this heaven?

[r21oropos]

LONG LIVE THE SIMPLE MAN..

[Donovanarchy]

this one is not better than shinedowns. brent smith has a better voice. he didnt use special effects and electric guitars to make it sound better, all they really had was an acoustic and a mic. quit talkin shit about shinedown. thats why ive never heard of this band cuz they arent as good as shinedown. this cover WAS GOOD. but they didnt go pure voice and guitar.vthey used a shitload of recording effects. brents voice alone is better than this band

[thegeorgiaswagger]

@Donovanarchy Youve never heard of Deftones? You must be living under a rock. Deftones are one of the most innovative bands of ALL times. I love Shine down, however, everyone is comparing apples to oranges. Just sit back and enjoy the fire.

[RadioBamFan]

@thegeorgiaswagger LMAO I know right, "Deftones aren't as good as shinedown". He's right, Deftones are 1,000,000 times better than Shinedown. They have innovative music and don't sound like EVERY OTHER BAND! Chino Moreno for President!

[Hottfuzz]

@Donovanarchy Apparently you have never seen Chino sing live because he sounds exactly the same as he does in his albums. He has that angelic voice that makes your soul float and that rough voice that makes you want to scream along with him. Deftones will and always be better then any other band even if it is a cover song. The guitar solo is simply the rawness of there awesomeness son. There a rock band so yeah there gonna use it. I've never heard of shinedown, probably cuz it isn't that good.

[Donovanarchy]

@Hottfuzz and shinedowns cover didnt need all that, they had a voice and a guitar and sounded amazing. this is a good cover too, but i think shinedowns is better. and apparently youve never heard the crow and the butterfly, or sound of madness, or 45, or save me, or if you only knew, or second chance, those songs were probly more popular than anything by deftones honestly. see for urself, im sure if u listen to rock youve heard at least one of these

[Hottfuzz]

@Donovanarchy sure Shinedown could have some good songs BUT Deftones has plenty of songs that are popular and diverse. There collabs are great and so are there albums! They have won the ESPN Sports Award for music act of the year, a Grammy Award for best metal performance for "Elite", and a Won Kerrang! for classic songwriter Award! common man, your telling me there not as popular and any good? Well each his own brotha, your a Shinedown fan and I'm a Deftones fan to us either or is the best.

[GenerationMine]

@Donovanarchy Listen to Beware, Combat, Rats!Rats!Rats!, Be Quiet and Drive, My Own Summer, Lhabia, Bored, Root, and everything off White Pony. Then come back and tell me who's better. And by the way, popularity doesn't mean shit. Ever heard of a band called Far? Ten times better than Shinedown and no one really knows them.

[420Wikit]

Best cover ever. shinedown fucked it up

[gfnd24]

hank willams jr even though he's a country artist also does a dam good cover of this song!

[MrFatassPanda]

Can everyone shut the fuck up about Shinedown and appreciate this cover?

[illKill]

@MrFatassPanda lmao, MrFatass, I cant agree more.

[Jas2332]

@MrFatassPanda hahaha agreed sir.

[jameswatt1987]

What I find great about this song is how true it remains to the Original. It's not trying to compete with the original, and it is, more importantly, not trying to be better which I think happens alot with covers.

It is the classic stripped down, bare knuckle Deftones sound that we all love and a salute to Legends.

[beasta710]

@jameswatt1987 i agree. my band covers this song too. im the singer, and this is not an easy song to cover vocally. but deftone's makes it sound easy. great version

[22hec44]

dam deftones 

[XainGM]

Good Cover, however singing to this song isn't nearly as fun as the Shinedown cover.

[jiminycricket69]

i will never hear the shinedown cover for one SIMPLE reason. they suck ass. when i heard deftones cover this i thought it was theirs, but when i found out it was from lynard skynard i quickly heard the original. long story short, lynard skynard are the shit and this is my favorite track from them by far. the deftones pay homage to them with this cover in a way that only the deftones can.

[kingcars]

I love how, unlike the Shinedown cover, I knew within the first 2 seconds what song this was before I even recognized it was a cover. The Shinedown version is too much "look at us, our singer has a voice" and not enough "lets pay homage to a great song" imo. I typically hate cover songs but this one is fantastic,

[MsPinkGlam]

Amazing



[De6now6ar]

I LIKE THAT THEY DIDNT CHANGE THE SONG TO MUCH, ITS A GREAT COVER.

[UnrealSoldier666]

1000x better than Shinedown's shit cover

[InFlames20bests]

@UnrealSoldier666 but lynyrd skynyrd is still the best!!

[jro6868]

@UnrealSoldier666 From a guitar standpoint,yes. Vocally. Shinedown is far superior.

[UnrealSoldier666]

@jro6868 Ha, ok

[demonmatty22]

@UnrealSoldier666 I love how people must make a statement about different bands or singers on a video, just listen to the damn music.

[UnrealSoldier666]

@demonmatty22 Cool man, my statement is somewhat fact

[demonmatty22]

@UnrealSoldier666 Doesn't matter if it's fact or not just listen to the fucking music and stop bitching towards other bands, just because it's not about "Justin Bieber" and other useless pop groups doesn't make it any better.

[UnrealSoldier666]

@demonmatty22 You make no sense, stop trying to make a point and just not talk while your ahead

[d1aolos]

@UnrealSoldier666 I just can't understand how someone would go on and compare shinedown's masterpiece cover with an above average one. You should really get your ears checked.

[UnrealSoldier666]

@d1aolos You people are so fucking stupid... Shinedown is fucking trash

[TxAcoustics]

@UnrealSoldier666 What a fucking idiot. I have taken dumps that sound better than this shit. This guy has no balls and sings like a little bitch

[UnrealSoldier666]

@TxAcoustics Alright man, dont get too asshurt over this

[DESTRO350]

Deftones sure know how to cover a song! Their signature sound of slow and heavy with Chino's voice really brings out the essence of this song!

[BiancaDusk]

This cover gives me tingles all over every time I hear it. I love you chino :) x

[Mizzle211]

Take your time dont live to fast

[pogmstillfly]

I got with a woman I thought I wanted to be with but after we got together I realized it was a mistake. The woman I really wanted to be with got hurt and has since never spoken to me...I guess I have failed at being the simple kind of man I should have been.

[1889michaelcraig]

This version is way better than what Seether or whoever ruined it did!

[ragethesystem91]

So good....

[finalfantasygrl87]

This song, is so amazingly re-done. Both by Shinedown and the Deftones. God. I <3 this band :DD

[PopeJester13]

This song fits the deftones style... Great cover!

[caleballenf]

@Krandolph17 18 bro. First time I truly loved a girl.

[TheBrandoPT]

The girl i loved dedicated this song to me. She is not mine anymore but she advised me so sincierly through this song. She will always be my good friend and always in my heart. I feel my heart melting with love when i hear this...

[addinealz]

I agree shinedown is amazing but these people MESSED IT UP

[MrBvitamans7794]

Shinedowns was better because at least they made it sound different, this just sounds slowed down. It's not bad but they basically played the exact same thing Skynyrd did. I mean the guitar solo is the same nothing is changed. Except the Tempo.

[sykokilla77]

@MrBvitamans7794 I understand what you mean as far as originality but maybe its for about respect.

[antizark]

lynryd skynrd isnt dead...dumb ass!

[PimpyMcHoSmack]

@antizark The original members who created the song have been dead for a looong time now.

[Gazziinn]

@antizark I'm pretty sure he's talking about the lineup that died in the planecrash. Since it was Van Zant that wrote the lyrics to this song

[caleballenf]

@ticosexy22 cool story bro you should tell it to my fist sometime, see how it reacts.

[steflinkinpark]

How can you dislike this???

[xhellabentx]

deftones do excellent covers and they are great live

[steflinkinpark]

@xhellabentx I want so much to see them live! <3

[SouthTexasBully]

this version is wayyy better then shinedown IMO..Deftones FTW

[FUNNYCOW666]

I cant tell if i like this or Shinedown's cover better

[beckylikesmusic]

I like it

[shitpickle08]

cheezegeezful go fuck yourslef some are rednecks and are drunk an dont give a fuck how to spell it you fuck tard

[illlearn]

definately one of the best nights of my life, this tune as an encore UEA 03.07

[CanYouRecord]

What the fuck is up with his voice?

[berkah89]

@CanYouRecord it's Chino Moreno. he has godly vocals. what the fuck IS up with that?

[CanYouRecord]

@berkah89 I guess i'm just not used to hearing anyone's voice like that. Sorry if I offended you man. I'm a huge fan of all music from all generations. Except for now. Today's music is nothing compared, not even close to music of any other decade.

[karendod]

MELHOR MÚSICA DO MUNDO INTEIRO

[PammyCakez]

This is one of the best covers I have ever heard.......
