Bukowski - Modest Mouse cover

[jjohnson191]

Nicely done.

[MyMusicSosa]

This is awesome, I want to cover this song as well, this will be awfully helpful (:

[meghanroxx]

great cover :D i love modest mouse so much

[TheVeganerd]

You have good skill and stage presence :)

[eatin505]

You know what's hard to do? Find people who like modest mouse in my town. But I know there's people who just keep floating on out there. Keep up the jamin man, and honestly..... who would wanna be such a control freak?

[xangelxle]

I love Bukowski, Modest Mouse and this cover

[thebabscat]

CHEERS!



[caitlinewin]

modest mouse is my favourite band is this is one of my favourite songs. continue being fucking epic man. btw, nice shirt, I have one with an anchor on it. :)

[beans4free]

Man that hair around your lips make them really pop, even more weird is the on eye look that you do into the camera. But honestly all these things draw me in and I can't take my eyes away. Anyways, nice skills! Like MM alot!

[Maynard0504]

brilliant!

[srfrr]

Nice. Those weird seductive looks to the camera in the beginning make me feel a little weird but other than that very nice.

[tkm2210]

dude you fucking rock, I love this cover. I didn't think it could be done so well. nice work brother

[Aerenna]

[rufdogshavebumps]

[IceMountainCoke09]

[BurningDownBabylon]

@IceMountainCoke09 You tube is being a bitch. Im gonna pm you the link to the tab

[yewtubethis]

first few seconds i thought this guy was on meth

[jpeebs420]

good cover man i have been trying to learn the progression, watching you has helped a good bit

[Terracotiancrepes]

Is this a reference to Charles Bukowski, the author? I never gave it much though... Rockin cover my sur.

[DudeFooser]

@Terracotiancrepes Sure is :)

[beastofGVEGAS]

dude i got the same shirt and mm is the shit i love them... good job man

[theenigmajjames]

I love this song....Bukowski is one of my favorite authors...if not my favorite....I love the "God who'd want to be such an asshole" part....pretty much sums up ol Hank

[XxhorrorshowxX]

not a lot of people who do covers can send chills up my spin, you did tho. congrats :). you did a great job on this song

[greenassskateboard]

pretty good, but i hope you were drunk, cuz u looked drunk

[sincerlytheEnd]

You did an amazing job, I love this song :)

[1nate8]

3:55 is my fave

[joelpgh]

I really liked this cover!!

[vblanco19]

my little brother passed away in 2008 his favorite band was modest mouse, he was 24 yrs old. i miss that fucker

[Whitey5357]

Well, got kinda creepy with the facial expressions, but it was good.

[asspants101]

Great cover man

[SgtHugoStiglitz]

Thom yorke eyes

[Francobannon87]

i think he's maybe drunk...

[ilovedankassbud]

@Francobannon87 lol he really looks it, doesn't he?

[SimplyCecileP]

@ilovedankassbud maybe it's his ode to Modest Mouse, being messed up while he's doing a cover of their song...

[ITTTheKrimsonKing]

God Damn it no one sings Like Isaac, they all have these perfect voices, and it makes me angry. Also wher'd he get the shirt? I want it.

[SimplyCecileP]

@ITTTheKrimsonKing haha that would be great, people would get 5 stars for covers where their voices were absolute shit singing :) (nothing against Isaac I love Modest Mouse myself!)

[Dagnus284]

Hey man, i have really liked this cover for a long time

[chasehawley]

bigblackboxx said it all man

i really think that when people cover modest mouse they fuck it up and this is so good man you do it so well its amazing

[juggaloSwisS]

i like it man! a lot! do you have the tab?

[leviathanpk]

Good show dude,

You mind telling us those chords?? :D

[Mrcodyyates10]

@leviathanpk B bar chord first then full A then G it repeats that pretty much all the way through exept for wen he duz that little walk down on the top string wen he hits G

[chrismoss420]

Smug Bastard

[AModernLeper1]

in the top ten mm songs, nice cover bra

[zyfoxmaster]

Sweet

[TrueAsTheForest]

Isaac Brock's vocals make me feel like when writing a Modest Mouse song, he doesn't know what pitch he's going to hit next, he's just going to hit one and make it sound good. Your voice has the same uneasiness to it and I absolutely enjoy it.

Your guitar skills are awesome. Facial expressions for the win. :]

This cover was wonderful.

[notyourordinarymusic]

vocally ur articulation during the verses could use improvement but this is definitely up there with modest mouse performance wise

[grulkk]

SACRIFICE THE LIVER! great cover of an excellent song!

[wtfr3nch]

you are awesome

[millencolinbitch]

Excellent. Sing a bit louder though =]

[BLOODFiRE96]

I HAVE THAT SHIRT. *high five*

great job with the song :)

[aburkett33333]

I'm wearing the same shirt right now. That's why I clicked on the video. Although mine is pretty faded.

[lanceROFLCOPTERS]

Chords: Bm  A G/Gb

[theconspiratordivine]

Awesome stuff, seriously.

[StangAstro]

LOL

you play exceptionally well, it was just your facial expressions :D

[JadedSilhouette]

Nicely done from a vocal and musical perspective, just the tempo was a little slow even for an acoustic cover. It dragged near the middle.

[iluffyoudodo]

Nice

[allisbliss616]

wow. very nice indeed : )

[corncornrocks]

Awesome

[moxeeboy78]

That was very voyeristic..

[David7Duff]

dude no offense but pleas, no more modest mouse. theyre my favorite, along with ugly cass. but this wasnt that great. try something more like soad or something that matches your voice.

[JimmyBshaw]

what did he do wrong? modest mouse is my favorite band as well, as well as ugly cassanova.. and i thought this cover was amazing, what did he do wrong?

[tazbaldwin]

Read some of his boks, in one he hears a woman getting beat up in and complains he cant sleep beacause of the bitch screamingoutside. Its fiction so I guess that makes bukowski a fictional asshole.

[UnderTheAffluence]

@JimmyBshaw Ugly Casanova is Isaac Brock. They don't really exist.

[xXJustinWadeXx]

Amazing cover.

[JimmyBshaw]

amazing dude.. u look high though

haha. beautiful

[cossatotfalls]

ha, thats what I was going to say.

[sadpoet187]

This was actually quite good. I always envision the screaming in the background like Issac does. Very cool.

[EbilDuckies]

your voice surprised me.

but i like the cover. :*

i tried the guitar part, but.

my abilities only carry me so far!

love~

[bigcheesebarwick]

Was anybody else surprised when he first started singing? Wasn't quite how I expected your voice to sound, lol.

But nice job man.

[meowmixqueenz]

that was fucking sick

[TheModestMouseHouse]

People are assholes! (Referring to some of the comments I'm seeing, OBVIOUSLY.) Not bad man, keep up the good work!

[mst3000k]

im currently trying to learn the banjo part for my favorite MM song....Bukowski!

[gibax]

sick cover dude.

[CornFlakeSoup]

Sound not synced right lolz

[ilikesoup6550]

good job, bro.

[23HR]

great job!!

[stringcheese1230]

Normally I'd shit on someone like you, but you're cool.

[shotgunhomicide]

I opened this video thinking it would be complete shit. It looks like you're getting alot of negativity...and that really fucking blows, because I think this is a sick ass fucking cover. I think you did a really good job, man. I was impressed. I like your voice alot, actually. Over all I'd give it about 4 maybe 5 out of 5. Well done, sir. Well done.

[coeur017]

holy crap you pulled it off. this is awesome

[BloodZombie79]

Dude, you look like a cross of, Chuck Norris, and Seth Green, it is what it is.

[corncornrocks]

I definitly see it!

[soberdrive12]

you kidding me?

this joker is a commercial

I hate this guys face,theres no reality in it

i bet my life that this guy has never read buk

or really understood a book in his life

[BloodZombie79]

Great, I mean, regarding CharlesBukowski, you can relate, espcially with a name like Soberdrive...

[AmpdzUp]

lol calm down fruitcake you might break a nail.

[6NoSurrender]

ur an idiot. u need to start drinkin or somethin cuz u aint got shit goin for yourself as it is now

[TheModestMouseHouse]

And your so fucking special or great! FUCK YOU! I see no problem with someone putting a cover on their channel, and we don't expect to be any better then the real deal! GOD DAMN! And if you think it sucks that bad keep your opinions to yourself and never watch this guys channel again!

[armpit4life]

well he's not covering a book he's covering a song...

[HittinRittins]

Amazing cover man, can really see that you re into it!

[robertjclong]

Great cover, chords?

[steve25mon1]

good job bro

[dryheat80]

i hope your wasted, on like peyote or acid or something, because you're making some stupid ass faces. it looks like your going to puke because you keep wobbling back and forth. quit making those dumb ass faces.

[ColdAcoustics]

great job man first time I've seen this pulled of nicely

[bigblackboxx]

gotta give ya props dude, when i first started the video, i was skeptical that anyone could do a decent cover of this song. and you did. you nailed it. GREAT cover man. very well done. keep on jammin xD xXx Casey

[alo8386]

thank you

[theenigmajjames]

@bigblackboxx Agreed

[diesldud]

right on!!!

[ElWeasle]

Fantastic cover good sir!

[MrPuppyDrool]

cool mm cover dude :)

[Aranman16]

Even though you sound nothing like Isaac, I can't help but adore the way your voice sounds with what you're playing. So not bad, eh?

[thedeathofus]

you just delivered a bushel of awesome right there dude. great job from begining to end but ease up on the facial expressions you creepy fuck! lol

[Genericjinxx526]

[GLUTTONYnLUST]

I love this, awesome job!

[sandrizzle17]

This is amazing!! I love it!

[gilbo369]

gosh you pull some great faces dont you :)

[DazeWolf]

This is probably my top favorite Modest Mouse song and you're adorable and I love your cover. You've got a very fun voice. (:

[L33754UC3]

great cover dude. one of my favorite mm songs.

[kingdan356]

i can tell u the chords on banjo like eal version man

[jiganigawiga]

hey ive been trying to learn this song on guitar. can you tell me the chords?

[DomicileImbecile]

The original is C Minor, B flat Major, and A flat Major, but he transposed it to B Minor, A Major and G Major. I don't blame him. To play it in the right key, I have to use a capo.

[kingdan356]

nice man, love those modest mouse covers.

[Newman12341]

lol hes high

[kingdan356]

if you ever herd the fuking song, u two faced fagget, then u would now how he knows wat hes doing.

[Newman12341]

im sorry that u were abused as a child but it isn't really my fualt...

[kingdan356]

o n i mit cry cuz ur mom got u high on her booby milk :/

[Newman12341]

i'm truly sorry that your brain cannot process the ability to spell and speak proper english, but you sir are in fact an idiot.

[pap3rplat3]

[jackkempson]

[joeslifestory]

Great cover

[Axis151]

[terminater2884]

[Jaku91]

Great cover, man.

Are you involved in any music projects?

[larstheleetone]

[kylebowler]

[Felicitas1990]

[kylebowler]

[JimmyBshaw]

well hes stoned.. but thats a good thing

SMOKE

wish i could, i got to go to court soon for possession of marijuana on school campus

[dmrick]

you are cool, i envy you.

(that is a lie)

[JeffroTheClown]

You look like you wanna have sex with me :O

Brillant cover tho! fair fucks :)

[DAIBEEDIS]

yeah wtf?

[cheeks8112]

awesome cover but why are you making fuck faces at me?

[equivocalx]

Wonderful. You truly captured Isaac's essence vocally. Keep it up.

[FlyFlyMordecai]

[kitcatling]

GREAT cover dude! :D

[trishlc73]

Hey, dude! Loved it! Great t-shirt!!

[TheMardiGrasKing]

[beccaofawesome]

Very nice, man! I loved it. Five stars from me. :)

Haha you wore your shirt, too, sweet.

[hellokaity0x]

lmfao this guy looks wasted as fuck

[RockSteD99]

nice cover man.

[DTbikerider9]

haha I meant THE purpose of a cover*

[DTbikerider9]

good cover, but seriously I dont think anyone (in the comments below) know you purpose of a cover.

[alpod]

yuh yuh yuh yuh yu. outta 5 yuhs

[jgross888]

lol god you look drunk as fuck in this video

[splodeyfish]

I think this guy is pretty good, and his voice is relatively close, compared to some other covers of Modest Mouse songs.

[sskelding]

i hate this guy. i hate him so much. he is terrible. you are terrible if you think that he is good. this is so bad. he needs to shut up his face.

[EricStrong05]

totally agree, 100 percent.

[stylelix]

tabs perchance?

[chefbrian26]

i loved it

good voice man!

[daveco1270]

Not bad, but why do people put this stuff on line? My advice to all musicians and singers...write your own songs and put them on you-tube. (Unless you're doing something different and unique with the song it's never going to be as good as the original, so what's the use?)

I'm just tired of seeing every Tom, Dick and Harriet doing cover tunes on you-tube.

[mrstickyfingers56]

im not sure about others, but those videos help me to learn to play songs. If i can't figure out a part of a song, i go on youtube and watch someone play it. the visual helps a lot. but this guy here just kinda seems like a tool

[daveco1270]

Good point Mr. Stickyfingers, that's why I watched this video to begin with, to see what chords he was playing. (Then I got distracted.)

[ModestMousekateer]

Actually, I've heard/seen covers that I found better than the original. If you want an example, look up JT Royster's cover of Baby Blue Sedan. Then again, it's a matter of opinion.

[babeedonkee]

why not? I personally love watching covers of songs on youtube.

[NmHman127Nugget]

i know a kid that in a few years will look exactly like you. and modest mouse for eva

[eustressmusic]

I like to clip my toenails well spreading cream cheese on a fresh bagel while I listen to this

song. This version really makes me want to crap.

[meg1241989]

i was just belting this out in the car earlier today

[TrevvorRiley]

P.S. His eyes remain closed because he IS.

[TrevvorRiley]

If you listen closely you can hear aliens in the background. I listen to this guy play this song on repeat while reading "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. Now that i've finished the book, I realize that there is no life after death and my whole family has been just mere deja vu.

[butteryblue]

A rather depressing conclusion I'd say... But what's that you're saying about aliens?

[TrevvorRiley]

That's what i'm saying about POLITICIANS.

[TrevvorRiley]

Well, Politicians/Aliens. Not much of a difference I guess.

[dudesons441]

hey can you tell us were you got these cords from? it will help alot of people out.

great cover. you kinda sound like Weird Al a bit

[jxwhee]

you're wearing the shirt of the band you're covering? Don't be that guy.

[alo8386]

like a year too late buddy
