Cliffs of Dover "Eric Johnson" (McLovins Cover) LIVE

[matt6279]

you guys play an phish!?!?!?!

[NeverTrust82]

The drummer turned this into a punk song haha

[impoolboy]

That's it! I'm gonna throw out my son's Guitar Hero and make him play a real guitar!

[frothingatdamouth]

@impoolboy with all due respect to your son...keep him on the guitar hero now that youve seen mclovin play and know what he's up against lmao!

[eran99999]

@frothingatdamouth not funny :/

[frothingatdamouth]

@eran99999 just sayin...mclovin's a bad ass...reckuh-niiiize

[jdgatoruf]

The thing I like about you kids is that you choose to cover difficult songs, and you do them exceptionally well. YEM, Harry Hood, and this song certainly aren't easy to play. I give you guys two thumbs up.

[acousticdrewber83]

YES Cliffs!!!!

[acousticdrewber83]

@acousticdrewber83 this song is amazing! you nailed it

[DHOTS2007]

can anyone slam the head of the drummer ?? lol just kidding .. anyway its a good tone .. bless you kiddo

[starmanbridges]

hahahaa you guys need to speed it up a tad- hahaha good show!

[freestyleballer66]

Yall are freaking b.a Just one thing though, you guys should settle down on one pace. The guitar was doing great and when the drums came in, it sounded as if you guys were speeding up A lot. But its alright, it still sounds beautiful

[oreokookie1000]

i used to play like that before I got into nitrous....lil' jimmy from philly

[thebigman52]

slow down bud!! dang but good job. that guitarist is a badass haha

[mwdanny]

Good job. i'm impressed!

[trademarc2009]

harry potter plays bass, thts smth new

[markx3phillies]

good good! but your drummer is absolutely raping your tempooo

[metachozoite]

now bad.....just work on some of the solo stuff and the in between parts...play it SLOW first. and slow it down....lol

[JonathanCStedman]

Wow! I'm thoroughly impressed with the guitarist.

I'm happy to see his humbucker switch is in the correct postion.

[TheHighwayRider]

Really they just need a space with better acoustics.

And the drummer was jumping the beat a little. I saw them at Wormtown this year and they were great.

[Mbosco92]

Goddamn! Sweet!

[Cristhyano86]

Nice cover, but too fast.

[nlo13]

Damn you guys killed it! Nice job

[j23072006]

You all are fantastic...

[TheComputerAddiction]

the drummer is TOOOOOO FAST!!!!!

[Philippe55JS]

to fast, but nice

[hobstweedle123]

this is beast

[addyr100]

nice geddy lee jazz bass

[lordOFbrooklyn]

ok wait: who's mclovin?? cuz the bass player looks like him the most...

[Nutbustin1]

Rip it up dude!!  Freaking awesome guitar player. The whole band rocks as well.

[Shockgrasp]

Good but not perfect you rushed a bit on the chorus

[Cblax316]

@Shockgrasp like you could do any better

[codyahernek]

@Cblax316 he didnt say he could do better. just pointed out a flaw... and he was right.

[Cblax316]

@codyahernek alright douche

[codyahernek]

@Cblax316 fuck yourself troll.

[JackT9128]

Holy shit its will off the inbetweeners

[giongo97]

Take this Santana!!!!!!

[ERGOtcr]

YOU HAVE ALL MY RESPECT .... BUT I SEE THE DRUMER MUST TAKE CARE ABOUT VOLUME AND YOU MUST BE A COMPLETE BAND

[mrbrightside282]

@ERGOtcr you bring up two good points it looks like they were playing in a tight space for this video so might be why the drums sounded loud and I agree with you on the other part they could use another vocalist or keyboard player or something else extra but they still sound great :)

[antc101]

Briefcase wanker can play guitar real good...

[lemongregory]

im 41 and i cant play that. ive been tryin for years now...

[ledonx2]

o.o

[robman8855]

amazing bassist in birdland... amazing guitarist in this... you guys are actually musical... you dont get that much anymore

[sbvikings30]

eric johnson would be proud

[NetoStrato]

i guess the guitar player is not that yong... i think he is about 16 or 17, he's just short. still he's amazing.

[bneg303]

@NetoStrato i think he is 15

[TheNoobSpace]

@bneg303 14

[bneg303]

@TheNoobSpace fucking blows my mind. im jealous

[JesseMercArt]

@NetoStrato He's sixteen now, but this video was uploaded two years ago.

[SatanAzerath]

I accidentally started clapping at the end.

[huskybrownbass]

I got chills in the first ten seconds. Rock on little dude! 

[cabbagesftw]

got the chills

[a22w22k]

You guys are SICK!!! that little kid play a mean guitar

[GuhYeahRight]

best Cliffs of dover cover on youtube, maybe ever...

[serenityct62]

omggg! i love this song! <3

[Mjbabycakes7072]

Does this kid get BETTER the younger he gets?????

[BenjaminPaulWoodham]

@Mjbabycakes7072 not unless he's Benjamin Button.

[sniperpeeps]

Man, the talent you guys have at a young age is ridiculous, I want to see a Widespread Panic cover and I want to see the guitarist on stage with panic, insane!

[wilsonwont]

@sniperpeeps WSP SUX

[Guitarfollower22]

Don't judge a book by its cover

[easternbmxbike]

i bet these kids r exelent at rockband

[jamesha175]

@easternbmxbike i bet they don't waste thrie time with that nonsense

[620NA]

Everyone's a critic....it's a song...it's an interpretation...3 young men's take on a classic guitar instrumental...what's the issue here with everyone? You guys keep playin' and enjoy playin' all the rest will come naturally. Be open...listen to yourselves...you'll see where you shine and where you can tidy it up a bit. Have fun with it.

[soulplatos]

Well it is goo dyou can play it...but your tone is making my ears bleed....work on it a little.. :P

[620NA]

@soulplatos HIs tone is excellent as is the bassist's. On the bass it's all in the fingers and he's got it. Nice playing as well mr. bass man.

[c0mputer]

That lead guitar kid is going to get more chicks than all of the dudes on YouTube.

[edwardcullenfanone]

@c0mputer - that lead guitar guy goes to my school......he's a grade ahead of me

[matmc1]

A+++++ amazing

[cruikshank]

I've been playing drums for 40 + years and I bow down to the drummer and the whole band. I wish our band was as tight and polished and you all are. Though it's not your style, being a 3 piece band I''d love to see a ZZ top cover. Dave in PA

[JadeAxon]

You've got some skills. You should try recording a note for note rendition of the studio version. I'd like to see someone absolutely nail it. Nobody has. I don't believe anyone can.

[VolcomSk8r14]

How long has that dude been playing guitar!? He must never let it down!!

[ajrulz10]

Oh my GOD! FUCKING AWESOME

[odie1610]

haha i love the guitarists lean forward and bend the knees move on every other beat :)

but for real these guys kill it, they're all from the towns surrounding the little shithole that is east granby (where i grew up) and its nice to say something cool came from the area. the only criticism i have is that the drummer (while very good) is just a little too loud, drowns out the guitar a bit. other than that its a nearly flawless cover. keep up the good work boys.

[optionaxis]

I think this trumps all the other covers of this song. mclovins kill it always.If you haven't seen them do it

[Nis4NINJA]

just saw these guys live at strange creek.... they are the shit

[edwardcullenfanone]

the guitarists go to my school. they are one grade ahead of me.

[edwardcullenfanone]

the guitarists go to my school. their a grade above me.

[jcoops67564]

The drummer goes to my school....not a fan but oh my lord this kid on guitar tears it up!

[blueyedgrl108]

The drums are too loud and somewhat sloppy and it kind of drowns out the guitar playing. You guys have potential if you practice.

[foureyes99]

@blueyedgrl108

Have you seen their recent videos? This was two years ago.

[blueyedgrl108]

@foureyes99 Just giving them some constructive criticism. I have no doubt that they are phenomenal now.

[97tennis]

holy shit u guy s r rly good but what about a singer???

[truthero]

he is an absolute holy terror, and the fact that he really does look like such a total McLovin makes it all the more stupefying (and cool).

[nachothebassplayer]

you guys will be famous pretty soon

[ejmusk]

Wow...just wow!

[Mega0463]

great !!!!@ But the drums very sucks !!!!!!!!!!!

[BradyGoldie]

i'll be sure to like these guys on facebook.

[139charly]

youre rock its so good

[SinOfDrkness]

nice improvising with the sixlets drummer! sounds great.

I love that strat, highly jelouse

[Gibsization]

THE MCLOVINS ARE UNREAL!!!!! nice playing boys :)

[frenzetics]

i reaaly like the band, you guys rule , but seriously youre drummer, you have to learn not to rasie the tempo , you do this quite often in other songs ive listened to , and as a drummer myself i know how hard it can be not to up the tempo but really you should learn not to.

[richiemabie]

maybe he will get a little better after he gets out of high school !

[bizthin]

STRATOBLOGSTER APPROVED!!!

[gpminim]

Your very clean at playing...awesome! great tone too!

[crobins333]

too fast i thought but your pretty dam good people!

[mikesome13]

Haha...only people who can't play fast say that.

[crobins333]

oh dear

[manlost82]

@mikesome13 ...very true ....but it is a bit fast fast but good....some ppl cant help it to play fast ....thats my problem i play too fast on bass

[igknightus]

@manlost82 no its calle dyou have a temop problem...its called timing issues also...try working with a metronome to help ok? i have been a drummer for 18 years i now trust me....it helps? :D

[briandrum1]

@crobins333 You're right....The drummer sped it up when he came into the tune....he tends to do it a lot...check out some of their other videos...still kick-ass though!

[crobins333]

lols, it only takes 1! yeah i saw the phish cover too. got great potential this lot! good taste in music too, just spotted a weather report cover. nice!

[briandrum1]

@crobins333 right you are!! The Weather Report was from a few years ago....you can really see how far they've come as a band since then and now....check out the newest video from Nectars..."Milktoast Man"...really-really good tune!

[crobins333]

yeah it wasnt that tight the Birdland cover. il check out some of the others. how old are they? the guitarist is roughly the same size as the bass guitar! LOLS!

[TheGuitarmazter]

how old is the guitarrist???

what pedals is guitar use??

[DaKattAck000]

drummers to loud and busy.. got some chops but that kid needs to chill! The guitarist and bass player are great!

[blightlv]

@DaKattAck000 been saying this for awhile.. they need keys too.. sound is kinda empty because the drummer doesn't play enough fills.

[SuperMagnusb]

I honestly believe hat guitar kid is autistic - he is great!

[kickps27]

if there this good now i can't wait for another 6 years they will be one of the best jambands out there

[TheMauridiaz]

bien mc lovins yegaran a triunfar tocar ese cover les favorecio mucho..... suerte desde chiapas

[boss2beat]

@TheMauridiaz "Yegaran"?? jeje... yo diria: Llegaran... pero bueno :P solo es una pequeña correccion. Muy buen cover, en eso estoy de acuerdo, ellos son muy buenos, y se que seguiran por buen camino.

Salu2!!

[TheGuitarmazter]

how old is the guitarrist???

[umphishin]

14 I heard!!

[YectroV]

the drummer ruined the whole band

[judojoe07]

Im sure hes on speed or something.

[sergiobluesman]

started on time.. then.. buummm way to fast. even like that. this kid impressend me.. great job!!! awesome!!!. and nice sound.

[softice10001]

Guitar was as close to perfect to say its dead on.

Don't think I'm in no way saying anything about this was bad - very nice job , I love this song

Drum set may need new heads and symbols or a sound cage.

Bass was perfect for this set.

[AmBemol]

wow

[krisitantobias]

awesome kid

[deepislandboy]

What strat is that?

[navezou94]

A Fender US i guess

[deepislandboy]

Good cover, but the venue isn't very good, you can barely hear the other insturments over the drums

[dane9612]

Great cover!

[t0n3d0g]

Eric Johnson, McLovins have got your number!!

[foxman236]

I say drummer too fast... But really good

[VenomStryker]

Guitar is a bit too fast, and the drums sound like he's banging on a trash can.....LOL!

[Tintagalon]

Just bad acoustics

[homertoon]

this guitar players a fucking prodigy

[soulplatos]

@homertoon no...the eight year old in the right link is.. :p

[Drowbot]

@homertoon they all are, honestly.

[guajardo466]

muy bien!!!

[dccowboys1]

drummer is too loud, but that doesnt take away from the epicness of this video. This is amazing man. 14 yrs old mastering Eric's Johnson's amazing Cliff's of Dover! Great job

[jutdt]

great sound of the bass!!!

5/5 stars

[nevrens]

Great,but the drumming's too loud.

[Enforcer010]

just like in my basement

[tienlo]

Mclovin

[SuspendedinShadows12]

0:24 that part is too slow, but then aain it would be really hard to alternate pick it as fast as it needs to be, Chicken picking it makes it a heck of a lot easier

[17MoonGlorious17]

HOLY SHIT

that kid looks like he just got into high school!

that's fuckin gnar, 5 stars

[primeministersoffice]

the kid looks like a tool but damn he's good!

[kosser321]

dude....he's like 15.

[primeministersoffice]

15 year olds can be tools. and besides, I was complementing on him on his playing which is what this video is about so you can piss off now.

[davizin1]

veeeery good, but veeeeery fast too.

[lovelykandance]

no no tooooooooooo fast go slower but good try it was like i was hearing it in hyper speed jk

[Underseer1]

That drummer ruins it for me lol

[anaxaplaysia]

Slow it down a little. It isn't slayer live. Sounds good otherwise. It is based on a symphonic platform. Leave a little air between the notes

[JohnnyRainey]

how old is that kid playin guitar

[Tintagalon]

15... he goes to my school :)

[auralnaut]

I could barely tie my shoes when I was his age, let alone play like that. What kind of mutant experiments are going on that we are getting these crazy young guitar players who can whup my ass?

[igknightus]

man you really speed this up...watch that...

[brunnerdudes]

dude! that kids like only 14!

[Jerry28s]

mierda!!! como toca ese pibe

[Verence]

Why are so many people complaining about the speed? They get to decide the tempo. If they want to play it fast, let 'em play it fast. Still sounds amazing.

[swtguy5113]

yea deff even Eric johnson played this song at a Very SLOW tempo, then there were other times where he played it even faster than this version. Eric johnson did not even play this song the same twice.. THis cover is AWESOME !

[whitehawk45]

A little too fast, but besides that, absolutely AMAZING!

[polkaspotsss]

Work on your moves, and I'll subscribe. ;D

[bippoilo]

WOW! Awesome

[kampuak2]

They geek but rOck!

[premiertl6]

hell ya!!!

[popomczowzow]

Every single video I watch of these guys I'm absolutely stunned by the raw talent. These guys are my favorite unsigned band, I could put them in my top 20 favorite bands of all time if they would just release some more original stuff.

[blackstrat1954]

OUTSTANDING!!!

[DTK84934]

/ \ OMG!!!!! ( :

00 _

[k2r79]

WOW He looks very young to be playing that good ^^

[Guitarlacrosse4]

the name of your band is McLovin's? haha how fitting. seriously though, great playing. how old are you?

[barnbum6693]

ok he sounds like hes playin on a bunch of pots and pans...

[Bryantkh13]

wow great playing man.

[IronMaiden365]

the guy on the right is almost a freak hes that good!!!

[Tintagalon]

ya he goes to my school hes crazy good

[McLovinCW]

Nice to see some fellow McLovin lookalikes. Good playing

[PROFDK]

Awesome!

[1NickDelle1]

You have to forgive the tempo thing, alot of begining bands, speed up songs. I don't know why it just happens.

[Tubalover95]

yup, correct.

But I wouldnt call 'em beginners ;)

[1NickDelle1]

well, i guess youngsters would be the word, but people still have problems with rhythm after years of playing.

[Tubalover95]

love u guys, best cover band :)

very nice guitar playing here, but the drummer totally overplays it, and he also sped up

[spatchycat]

speeding up is a group thing....you cannot lie the blame on just the drummer. it was everybody.

[Tubalover95]

the drummer is the one that is in charge of the speed . . .

[tankbrute6]

great, the drummer sped up though, keep the tempo man!

[spatchycat]

it is not just the drummer...guitarists speed up to...and here the drummer not only does it .......the guitarist does also...they need a dr beat.

[cshubs]

This band gives me chills. I can't wait to see them.

[casco18]

guitarrist is GREAT!

[GrooveLeg]

i bet you guys get so much pussy
