Modest Mouse - Missed the Boat (acoustic)

[keetan312]

Good job! Nothing wrong with the voice! It sounded like acoustic Isaac Brock.

[nepotter13]

MrSamiosa can suck it, you have a really awesome voice!!!

[vicentedpsantos]

good work

[4thelulzonly]

You have the best covers on the youtubes my friend. Ike would be PROUD!!

[loveoffair]

whoa people are saying this guy sounds bad? uh im going to have to strongly disagree with that. i really enjoyed this : ) good job buddy

[dallasftw]

I like your voice, Covers are for the artist to do with what they want. Fuck these guys. You're good.

[MrSamiosa]

I AM NOT HATING. You seem like a perfectly nice person with many talents. But your voice is not good.

[DDball]

@MrSamiosa Perhaps you should check out my other 276 videos. This one's really old, back when I hardly even knew what I was doing.

[MrNoahthefox95]

@DDball I disagree, I would tell you If I didn't like your voice, but I think its great, I would pay alot of money to be able to sing like you :) It reminds me alot of James Mercer.

[mismatchedwings]

@DDball if it makes you feel better i played this and my husband thought it was an unplugged version from modest mouse.. You did really awesome.

[DDball]

@mismatchedwings Thank you (= That's awesome!

[DDball]

@MrSamiosa And as an addendum to my first comment, I ask this: if you don't like my voice, why even say anything if, under normal circumstances, it would probably just make me feel ... well, not necessarily bad, but not good either? You know?

[skimthesurface]

@DDball cuz dude he's just tryin to hook you up with feedback, good work keep it up!

[HolliannePage]

@MrSamiosa I like his voice.

and that is hating.

Good cover though dude

[MySanitarium]

The point of covering a song isn't to sound exactly like the fucking person. It's to give that song your own musical flavor.

[TheLhoucine]

i like it man fuck all the haters ill subscribe fav. and like

[smuknuy]

modest mouse is by far my favorite band, and missed the boat is one of my all time favorites by them. I must say, this cover is very unique, but also very good!! you really pulled off the chorus, especailly the third one. honestly, well done!! :D

[heyitscarmi]

surprisingly pleasant voice

[modestmouseman11]

bad cover. you dont sound like isaac brock and thats not how the acoustic part is played.

[DDball]

@modestmouseman11 That's not what's important. And you obviously haven't seen the multitude of other Modest Mouse covers I've done. Thanks for the useless comment though (=

[jippy67]

@DDball

I have listened to nearly all your modest mouse covers, it was the first thing on my to-do list for the day, and I gotta say, these covers are prettyy awesome! Who cares if you don't sound like isaac or whatever, personally, I think you put your own little spin to it with your soothing voice :)

Haters are always around; don't pay much heed to them, coz there is no need to make them feel good by getting bothered by their trash talk.

Well, keep up with the amazing work! you're awesome :)

[DDball]

@jippy67 Hey, thanks a lot : ) I try not to listen to the haters. =P Even though I rarely take offense to any negative comment, it's bothersome that someone would even take the time to post such a thing, you know?

[jippy67]

@DDball

Exactly! but it's good that you have such positive attitude :)

btw... just wondering... would you ever think about doing a modest mouse guitar cover? I mean... without vocals?

there seems to be nobody at all who ever does that.. :(

[DDball]

@jippy67 I actually have done one without vocals. It was "Doin' the Cockroach"

[jippy67]

@DDball

umm.. how about specifically doing float on .. or gravity rides everything? :P

now that would be... AWESOME :D

[TimaniacOfDoom]

@modestmouseman11 Cover singers aren't supposed to have the same voice as the original artist, they just need to get the melody and notes right.

[NeptuneMS385]

@modestmouseman11 I don't think the point of these covers are to be played exactly like the acoustic cover, it's to sound like all parts, which would be Eric Judy's acoustic part, Isaac Brock's singing, and I think I heard a bit of Johnny Marr's/Isaac's guitar part. Also, it doesn't have to sound exactly like the singing. Let's see you perfectly mimic Isaac Brock's singing.

[cutensweet867]

I'm gonna have to compliment you on every video. : ) Another awesome job.

[axiom671]

yep guitar's still backwards....

[mento6]

LEFTYYYYY

[juddyboyo8o8]

I hate covers. Especially when people try and cover MM, but this is really good. Awesome stuff man

[TheLitzman]

man, i never saw anyone who did isaac brock justice as far as singing goes, but you proved that its possible. Great freakin job. now all you gotta do is join modest mouse and ur set

[stevieray345]

wow! if you had a lisp i would be a little suspicious O.o

[TheCareMores]

@stevieray345 lol

[cw00101]

dude your fucking amazing, this is my favorite song and you just made it better

[kradwill]

really....really....good

[KoolNayte68]

Omg. Dude first off, you should write your own songs and go pro, you really are great. Second, I'ma subscribe :D. and Third, do you think you could send the tabs to me, I know the lyrics already. But great job man, seriously

[Kufreak10]

NIIICEEE :D

[CircuitSurreal]

Can someone give the chords in order. I need to see them in writing to remember them, before they're actually memorized. Just really want to busk with this song.

[knapster12]

amazing cover, really really really good. what kind of guitar do you play in this? i really like the sound.

[DDball]

@knapster12 I play my father's Fender DG40-SCE acoustic electric. It's not a top of the line guitar or anything, but it really has a great resonating sound to it.

[knapster12]

@DDball yeah i really like it. i have been thinking about getting a fender for a while now. 

[popsicleptik]

Nice :)

[spencerandres001]

best band ever

[lalalaalydia]

YES.

[ForestTheAmorous]

this is awesome man!!!

[DDball]

@ForestTheAmorous Thanks a lot (=

[browvi]

are you playing something more than D and G for the verse? cuz it doesn't sound like just straight D and G , are you doing something with your pink also can't get the same sound

[shingfong37]

Nice job dude! sick cover, you did it justice.

What're the chords?

[DDball]

its D and G for the verse, and then D A G for the chorus.

[LITTLEJOhANNA]

awesome cover! :)

[rayrapphael]

[bigrnrlife]

Your improvement is pretty incredible.

[DDball]

Thanks man!

[Conjizzys]

very nice Sascha

[DDball]

Thanks Alex!

[k11251]

very nice =) i love this song, it reminds me of hawaii.. and i like how you sung the chorus lower, it sounds good.

[DDball]

It reminds me of going up to this cabin I once stayed at in the mountains. On the way there, everything was so green and the day was perfect. This song was so fitting when it came on during the car ride up.

[k11251]

thats cool, that sounds nice :] yeah my dad was in love with this song so he wanted me to give him the cd and when we went up to hawaii he played it on repeat about 30 times lol
