Word up

[1996Bassman]

Hahahaha korns vesion and vid is alot better xD

[jasonptify]

the only good version of this is the original by CAMEO

[NarainVS]

It's epic how the guitars and drums sound way more hardcore then on Korn's cover. I like Korn, but their version is kinda shitty. This on the other hand is some pure, straight-up badass gangster shit!

[pjomayo]

At least we can all agree with one thing..Mel B 's ("Scary" Spice Girl" ) version of Word Up is FUCKING SHIT.

[steveo7121]

Didn't even know Mel B had done a version. I think I can still agree that it's fucking shit even without hearing it.

[TheCocoa18]

I love it!!

[allygrosser47]

Oh god. I used to have such a crush on Alex from Gun!

[circleseverywhere]

While this cover is cool, Cameo's synth keys, slap bass and vocal effects make it the best for me. So sorry Gun and Korn fans.

[lukieneo]

Awesome

[pixelsink]

Korn's cover is weak ass compared to Gun's version.

[DRSeussization]

I love Korn but this is better cover

[IainRockss]

Man Scotland sucks!

Cameo Rule!

[Greim]

Best cover ever.

[whiteeye212]

this is rock and roll !!

[christianpoulin02]

Best version. Guitar kills other versions.

[essbani]

GUN Word up!!.....Awnsome all the way!!........

And No!!.. Not yours Korn.. You guys should be ashamed!!

Bad korn!! Bad bad Korn!!

[MyMytubeMy]

Mark Rankin is so SEXY!!!!!!!!!

And hes voice too!

And hes mouth is even sexier!

[neizetetz]

@Orangee93

NO, :)

PATETIC

[JDMJI2003]

@CristianEden  Couldnt agree more

[ThePosies]

Sorry but KORN SHITS ON THIS

great cover but Korn set the bar far to high

[MrDylancarlson]

This is better than Cameo's and Korn's version.

[TerrorBladeElf]

@MrDylancarlson You compare this to The Korn, aahahah madness....

[Bigviking556]

Korn are better but everyone is entitled to their own opinion :D

[neizetetz]

@Bigviking556

NOOB

[Valentymcrx]

mais um oldie .... bruto ...

[mikbol7]

BARBWIREEEEE ! ! !

[spacedust123]

best version eva!!!!! way to go cam-e-oh

[JakeAlfa15]

When I listen to this song, I think of Pamela Anderson in Barb Wire. Gahgh >:( terrible movie.

[ettol1234]

a little after copycat

[iacopoization]

I NEED TO KNOW WHO IS THE GIRL WITH THE MILITARY CAP..SHE'S AMAZING BEAUTIFUL..

[AndreiAgip]

@iacopoization cant jerk off without knowing?

[myoldblack]

This song sow us how a cover is much better than the original...

Rock n´roll forever!

[rowdyravingraven]

Great cover

[123annihilator]

great cover

[koberockshard]

lead singer looks like eminem!

[matteoprez]

@koberockshard no, eminem looks like the lead singer.

[Zofnok]

why do all of you idiots keep comparing different music groups and artist! Each one is different, so you can take your opinions and shove it!

[kalimero228]

this is what i call a fucking song!! i..i.

[baddacoodoo]

614,899 views ...:O I am shocked...! was expecting at least 20 million...!!

[possuhirvi]

This is good, very goood... But still prefer KoRn

[matteoprez]

Don't know you, but I'd love to see in this video Justin Biener being gang raped. Just a thought.

[MacEliot]

The original song is by Cameo.

[TheManAbove]

Everytime I hear this version, I think of the beginning of Barb Wire.

[lornelthaltmer]

this sounds as agressive as korns version and dont even think of calling me a kid i cant stand boy band 90s era and i was raised on classics like cameo yes i call them classics cause they were more than 20 years ago so SUCK IT ALL YA SUCKA DJ,S

[QuackJekyll]

@lornelthaltmer I personally prefer the sixties over the eighties >.>

[KurtCobainof21]

I didnt know Ryan Gosling sang for a band

[WilsonStoat]

The girl who appears at 1:03 looks like Sarah Silverman.

[jubisleila]

The original song is by Cameo, in the late 70s or early 80's. A Black (R&B?) Band. It is amazing how the arrange hadn't change that much, but it is attracts different "tribes"!

[S1LVERHELL]

No way, GUN version is the best .......

[scamgrammy]

@S1LVERHELL This is the best version by far

[TheAngmarwitch]

Why is this turning into a Korn vs Gun argument? .. Korn are loved by Emo kids all over America, hence the huge following .. Gun are well known and loved by real rockers because they arent pretending at it.

I remember Cameo's peerless original, this version is just pure rock n roll... Korn's version pales in comparison, and i dont think its anything to do with who's the better band, i think theirs was meant to be a toned-down version closer to the original in comparison to this.

[QuackJekyll]

@TheAngmarwitch Correct your self child, KORN IS A METAL BAND. Emo is three days grace shit, anything from the 90s has nothing to do with emos never ever say that, ANYTHING POST 90s HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH EMOs, or atleast a higher chance. KoRn isn't an EMO band it actually is Metal. Start respecting METAL then you can talk about KoRn, fucking hate faggots who say they dont like a band but love Metal, Metal is a huge genre, know your history :(. This is ROCK not Metal. Big difference. :D

[lornelthaltmer]

@QuackJekyll actually korn ois emo its just a metal style emo genre and emo is a state of mind not music CHILD im sorry  but either way u look at ot word up is best performed by non other than CAMEO the orginal artist and if u dont believe me then google it and watch the vid on youtube

[QuackJekyll]

@lornelthaltmer Emo actually is more of a culture then a state of mind, and I never said KoRn did it best.. I actually prefer Gun's over everyone else's version i knew of cameos version before Gun's or Korn's. And no KoRn is not emo using in that context is just a play on words, i mean if KoRn is Emo? then almost every band is which i know for a fact is not true.

[Donnamatrixlatex]

have always loved this

[8wrcevo]

I really love this song!

[madneess]

so 90's!!! LOVE IT!

[FredRaymondNa70]

Korn should be ashame for copying these guys version of the song

[subtraktable]

This is an okay version of this song. I'd totally rather listen to this than the Cameo origional.This and the Cameo version were PWND by Korn.

[dirty06maggot]

@subtraktable negative. cameo and korn are PWND by this! long live the 90s!!!

[JohnnyBeatdown]

Hot 90s chicks in this video, am I right?

[Metalmachinecrush]

That dood's Les Paul was on Ebay the other day,...bargain.

[NickMichalak]

I recently bought this CD based on this cover song, and I am greatly pleased! If you love 90s rock, their album "Swagger" is perfect for you!

[IEATBIEBERNOW]

@jerk0605 Video de la banda Gun = The band´s name is Gun.

[lookgooddz]

The best intro i'd ever heard !

[shersher78]

Fab cover. I hate it when songs get covered and end up sounding nothing like the original. Well done Gun, loved it then, love it now ;0)

[jerk0605]

which band is this? I think this's a nice cover.

[igor95BR]

These guy voice looks like a bitch... KORN IS SO MUCH BETTER ;D

[zarynkristel]

That's what i like-REAL music! x

[jscrash]

so Original do you like it or are you trashing it. I was a follower of GUN 8 years before this cover. They only reason is that they did it for fun in concerts for years and were finally convinced to lay it to tape. GUN are one of the greatest rock bands that no one has ever heard of. treat yourself and go listen or watch some of their stuff.......pre Toby Jepson. there is a ton of it on your suggestions right now. While Word Up is good, it is not nearly their best....long live GUN

[lookgooddz]

The best performance of this song !!! GUN Rules !

[steveo7121]

This isn't just some pissy cover which tries to copy the original, it changes the vibe completly and is very cool. The drummer is mega powerful and kicks arse.

[Phe75]

This is the shit. Best fuckin cover ever. First time I ever heard it, I was stunned! This rocks. if you disagree you are f u c k e d up. WORD UP FTW

[Shallowhearted]

1st: Gun

2nd : Korn

3rd: Cameo

[SuccessionLockon]

seen GUN live in scarborough in 2008 :D best gig eveeeeer!

[44971kornfan]

top 3 versions of the song

1.korn version

2.gun version

3.cameo version

[SuccessionLockon]

@44971kornfan you think korns version was good, lol........ unblock your ears from wax mate, i like korn but thier version was a heap of tripe

[44971kornfan]

@SuccessionLockon this version sounds nothing lik the cameo version they tried 2 make there own lik if they made it them self

[jscrash]

@44971kornfan KORN blows, cover of a cover.....c'mon

[jscrash]

@44971kornfan Kornfan, it was bad enough, yet good, that GUN covered a song on an album, but any group (Korn) that covers a cover ....forget about it. WEAK!!!!

[SmartzwithPartz]

@jscrash It's not really a COVER of a COVER when KORN DIDNT EVEN HAVE A SOLO IN THEIR SONG AT ALL LIKE THIS ONE DOES. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU STUPID PEOPLE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO CLAIM THAT KORN COPIED AN ALREADY EXISTING COVER THEN WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN TO ACTUAL COVER THEY DID BEFORE MAKING SUCH STUPID CLAIMS. No, I'm not mad bro. :)

[44971kornfan]

@jscrash look if korns version is weak how come this video has half a million veiws when korn had 10 million...hmmmm if i kno my number i kno tht korns version wins by 20 years of veiws tht this video has

[44971kornfan]

@jscrash gun is the weak band here cuz they got nothing compared to the heavyness of korn....also all of korns videos have millions of veiws while guns has thousands so gun is weak and cant never be compared to korn

[GarboStaunton]

@44971kornfan that don't mean a thing. Just cause 1 band has more views doesn't mean they are better. At least Gun stayed with the original and did a respectable cover un like Korn, I'd say the guitarist for Gun has more talent then the entire band of Korn

[44971kornfan]

@GarboStaunton well u might think tht but check out korn they can play better than guns guitarist with there eyes closed...cmon munky,head,and feidly r known for there guitar skills and i had never heard of gun till i looked at the video on the side...tht shows how bad they suck tht they hav 2 b on the suggestions list...korn has heavy ass guitar riffs tht gun will never b able 2 do

[0NeonKnight0]

@44971kornfan i would just say 1 thing... nu-metal is the fucking shit of rock, cancer of modern music

[JimmyPlayz]

@44971kornfan Korns version's good but its to soft, Gun knows how to rock it hard. :)

[44971kornfan]

@JimmyPlayz yea tru but its not guns song they tryed 2 make it there own when korns sticked 2 the original version

[JimmyPlayz]

@44971kornfan Ah yes but what people dont seem to get about cover versions is they should be different, if i wanna listen to something that sounds like the original, ill listen to the original.

[44971kornfan]

@JimmyPlayz thts y korns is the best version of word up original or not it stil beats guns

[JimmyPlayz]

@44971kornfan lol Cameo's version beats Korns straight up, and it ties with Guns. But since you have the word Korn in your yt name i guess your not gonna change your opinion.

[44971kornfan]

@JimmyPlayz lik i said guns version has nothing on korns version...thts y korns version is known and guns video is known by the suggestions so tht shows guns version sucks ass compared 2 korn

[JimmyPlayz]

@44971kornfan LOL just because something is well known doesn't mean its good, Rebecca Black is well known, by your logic that means shes good. Korns version is good, but its not particularly brilliant.

[44971kornfan]

@JimmyPlayz whos rebecca black ive never heard of her

[JimmyPlayz]

@44971kornfan predictable reply was predictable

[44971kornfan]

@JimmyPlayz well who ever tht is it has nothing 2 do with korn being better than gun

[JimmyPlayz]

@44971kornfan lol whatever

[JimmyPlayz]

@grind204 should'nt you be directing that comment at the other guy?

[grind204]

@JimmyPlayz Yeah my bad mate, hence removing it lol.

[JimmyPlayz]

@grind204 oh yeah u did remove it, sorry dude didnt realize xD no worries

[dirty06maggot]

@44971kornfan known or not. guns version beats, fucks and rapes korn's version from behind! and this is coming from a korn fan.

[rockangel93]

Best version of Word Up =D. 

[YorkGod1]

hmmm great

[PunkMetalero9666]

This is better than Korn's version.

[nickbaldeagle01]

@PunkMetalero9666 ...but not as good as The Boss Hoss....

[chriscole19888]

@PunkMetalero9666 you sir, are fu cking retarded...

[MsJenam]

@zed ha ha ha well said

[yngwierhoads1989]

am in a band with there original drummer :)

[goldenthoth]

a good 90's rock/grunge cover!!!

[JoeyPsych]

I've been a teen from the 90's, brought up with this music, to be honost, I heard this song before I knew about the original, I like them both though.

[CarlosOliveiraOFC]

thumbs up if you think that KoRn's version, compared to this SUCKS ASS

[141235a]

ミーミ―とうさぎの帽子 

[jennympage]

Ballsey rendition of the original funk version .... really love it x

[MrHolyRussian]

63 people are sucker dj's

[Cash2GoGo]

No revival of GUN could be any good unless Mark is fronting the band

[Guerillaradio13]

@Cash2GoGo exactly what i thought!

[sdenny]

the boys are back together and they are touring europe in 2011 , better than ever

[magattila]

naaagyooonjóóóóóóóóóóóóó

[frellboy2000]

This is AWESOME.

Rock to the max!!!

Bring it back oh bring it back.

Tell me what's the word....sucker DJ

[LlewelynLaVista666]

Mmmmm! This so bangin', and he a sexy beast, dig it! xxx :)

[jzbigdaddynewman]

This is so the best version of this song ever! My cover band is adding this song to our set list and this version gave me a lot of great ideas. I like the way Cameo played it, but this is just a little cooler IMO. After hearing this version, I wish I could personally tell Korn to go eat a dick.

[mravecsk1]

What is meanig "word up" ?

[theMacvarish]

@mravecsk1 : No one knows.

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

very good cover better tha original

[elcottero]

"rocks like a bastard" son of Ozzy and Joan Jett. Korn did an exact cover of this cover..but his is better. Dante Gizzi is cool as fuck.

[FAEMINOSMITH]

AWESOME

[lpfan0147]

this song was in the season one episode Who Are You? of CSI. the strip club scene.

[11sonicwebmaster]

63 people don't..... you know what screw it, 63 people just plain suck!

[jyrriah]

is it just me or does the chick at 1:09 look like Lucy Lui?

[yallsuckmydick]

wtf this was terrible the singer sucks and the solos don't go with the song i will rather go for korn and they suck too

[dracidus10]

@yallsuckmydick Are you stupid or something? Or you're a rapper? That would explain a lot...

[yallsuckmydick]

@dracidus10 this fucking sucks

[jimboy7920]

@dracidus10 no mate!..he must be a queer!!!!...mark rankin a top frontman.

[kawski919]

Great cover and hot girls in video = WIN WIN!!!

[jallison419]

zed1967 your comment is spot on as well as being funny as f++k

[Zed1967]

This cover rocks like a bastard! I cranked this up to the max and had to re-insert my testicles with a shoe horn afterwards. :)

[Sean117343]

@Zed1967 ur comment is worthy of this song

[xIpodTouchGoeroex]

@Zed1967 +10

[vids4doobs]

@Zed1967 - Man that's funny. Should have it printed on a T shirt.

[nomisbeth]

@Zed1967 doesn't this sounds very metallica like...

[jipbhoy]

ttttttttttttttttuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeee­e better than cameo and more so than mel b`s attempt

[aussieladdie]

Easily the second best version of the song. Nothing can beat Cameo though.

[jtfox69]

Cameo- Great Original

GUN!!!_ Wonderful Cover.

GUN! Probably one of the most underrated bands ever!!!!! Weedie magik!! :)

[ahybsch]

Korn cover sucks.That's it.

[RDBrilliance]

Well obviously Korn's version is better.

[eladarko]

yee its the best virsion :)

[TheTheAndreiasantos]

Korn's much better!

[lethe077]

once upon a time..but, cool cover :)

[3d3a3v3i3d]

Word up can be covered by anybody and it is still going to be great song.... But Cameo´s original version is still the best....

[hyndzy]

I'm sick of hearing korn this and korn that. they fuckin suck and are especially good at butchering songs.

[OriginalOrphan]

see... this... this is a cover. you don't see good covers anymore. you see all these popular "rock" groups on the radio pretending to be good, and most people believe it. You hear all these craptastic covers/samplers of classic songs and people think they are incredible. Its a shame, it really is. This is a cover. it honors the song its copying and takes it to a whole new level. I mean people stopped giving credit to the band they covered, and people think that they sung the original.

[JoeyPsych]

@OriginalOrphan oh man, this is what I've been telling people for years now, thumbs up m8!

[matteoprez]

@OriginalOrphan - you made me cry man.

[vids4doobs]

@OriginalOrphan - I am so with you on this one. It pays homage to the blinding Cameo original without stomping all over it. One of the few great covers.

[colorblindxD]

who sings the original song?

[OriginalOrphan]

@colorblindxD cameo

[maiskorn123]

korns cover is better

[Maz75]

correction : the best cover EVER.

[fretlessfrizz]

Rock'n'Roll.

[fretlessfrizz]

Way heavier than Korn.

[sidandmoi]

amazing cover

[sonia123950]

we don't have the time for psychological romance

No romance, no romance, no romance for me mama

[halloweenteen1]

its probobly just me but he kinda looks like james franco

[ArtGirlElizz]

hmm, I like this version, but it is a bit rough.

I still think, Korn's is better.

[MrArizs]

A sok közül ez a verzió a legjobb

[Arto0X]

I'm a Korn fan, but I must sya - this cover is better than Korn's cover :(

P.S. But Korn will always be better and GREATER band than Gun

[dan1296art]

like the sound but the guy sucks at singing

[LobsterOfDeath]

I'd prefer not to listen to the fans of this little band called Korn, since they are all little kids. Gun is awesome.
