  • Not as good as the original one, but a wonderful cover it is !

  • i may cry, just a little bit :')

  • what an awesome cover of an amazing tune

  • Abonnez vous à ma chaine !

  • My penis is soooooooo small :(

  • i am in love with this band i want my man to take me to see you but you have not had a show here maybe you will soon love ivy

  • Good, but real song is 10000000x better

  • anyone know if it's available to buy anywher?. Love Kellys version!

  • I love this song♥

  • i just love thy style of the voice!

  • Its a decent cover, not as good as the foo's though, it lacks the emotion and excitement you get with grohls vocals and the guitar playing is much slower in this, still a good cover. A lot better than prince's version :D

  • @DaveGrohlisnumber1 Tbh buddy, I just think you're in denial at the fact that you are the one that is gay :/ it's ok it's 2012 you can come out now :) + im a huge foo fan, one of the biggest. p.s. learn to appreciate music (y)

  • Also if you want another good cover of this song check out boyce avenues version.

  • @ firywynter where is the emotion in this? I not just being a foo fighters fanboy, i seriously cant see how you think this has more emotion than the original. Dave ghrol sings he has had his heart ripped out. I seriously think that it is based on a true experience. But, as you said everyone has their own opinion.

  • this song is horrific, the singer sounds suicidal and gay. sorry for everybody that had to hear this .. the actual song is right over there ------>

  • @DaveGrohlisnumber1 Its sad that because you like Dave Grohl so much your blinded by how brilliant Kelly Jones does this. Im a Foo Fighters fan but you have to be ignorant not to like this cover

  • I had heard of stereophonics before so i thought they might make a good cover one of my favourite songs, but i didnt last 30 seconds of this. If you cant sing this with dave grohl's frustration and anger, dont sing it at all.

  • @ssmit422 You know it's a cover right? Meaning the covering band can sing it in their own way? Listen to the lyrics, they're more suited for a more emotional voice rather than purely anger. Grohl is a legend, don't get me wrong (massive Foo Fighters fan here) but I do like this version just as much. We're all entitled to opinions though, and if you want to spend more time commenting on your dislike for it than actually listening to the song, fair enough :P

  • I have never been more aroused by a man.

  • I like it but the foos is where it's at

  • I'm a Foo fan and Best of you is my favourite song. I like so much stereophonics, but I can't, I can't hear this.

    Dave is Dave.

    Best of you is best of you.

  • este cover si me llega! :D

  • Kelly>Dave in every aspect other than drumming :)

  • tough call but dave has the roughness that im used to in this song

  • thank you for covering this.. perfect song for your perfect voice

  • Prefer dave's, but I do think this is good. Just think dave's is better:/

  • best fooking version ever kelly ure a fukin belter!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I liked the way they toned down the angst and played a quieter version of the song and thought they did great for being live. In fact I didn't realize it was live until the very end. If you like Foo Fighters you should check out my cover of Another Round on my channel.

  • Coming from a person who isn't particularly a big fan of Stereophonics, I have to admit that that is probably the best cover of this song that I've heard yet. Kelly Jones definitely brought a new take to a song that was originally performed quite heavy from Foo Fighters, and I certainly enjoyed it. I'd go as far as saying he has sung it better that Dave Grohl in the original version. It still can't compare to the original though, anything Grohl does seems to become golden.

  • @MuZZerman96 Dave Grohl walks amongst us a GOD !! Still this is a good cover - Fan of both bands - seen both live - & both excellent..

  • This is the best cover of this song i've heard yet, i love this guys voice! absalutely amazing.

  • Took me a while to decide whether I even wanted to read any comments, seeing as there would probably be tons of kids bashing one or the other performer.

    I like both. Both nice to listen to, both make me think, both voices sound good to my ear and the whole thing is good either way. So there.

  • his voice is rought but amazing for this song

  • rest in peace stuart cable

  • I think Kelly does have some bad habits when it comes to singing, but it's his voice, and it's his style, and I think it's beautiful,

    and this cover is actually one of my favourite things the stereophonics have done, along with Maybe tomorrow and Dakota, I think this cover is simply amazing.

  • the lyrics are perfect for stereophonics' style........and Jones sing the lyrics with more sadness, instead of David Grohl, who sing it with anger...... it's a quite sad lyric, so Jones sing it better than Grohl to me (and I'm a Foo's fan).

    Moreover, this is a special song to me; It tells the emotions that I feel for a very special person who's with another boy, who always badly behave with her... thanks welsh guys, you perfectly explains my feelings.....

  • @Alargh agreed. i like both versions, but i always wondered how the song would sound more mellow and not screamed. This is an interesting take on the song. and i like it

  • @Alargh im in the same situation my friend

  • @Alargh Dave Grohl isn't singing with just anger, he's singing with a built up frustration that people aren't letting others see the best of them which is exactly what this song is about, so the way this guy is singing it almost doesn't make sense. Dave Grohl sings it with so much more emotion it almost seems like this guy is just reading from a phone book.

  • fuck world!!!!!!

  • Javier Weyler looks like Samir Nasri :L :L

  • reading jones's wiki page, it say's he's constantly being criticised for his voice.

    I think its one of the best singing voices ive heard.

  • @andyholmes121 his voice is perfect for the phonics, he wouldnt fit in many other bands, but is great for what he does.

  • @andyholmes121 How can you not like his voice? it actually sounds good not like all auto tuned bullshit that's in the charts of today!

  • @MetroidMills uhh, you clearly misread what I wrote...

  • @andyholmes121 Uhh you clearly misread what I wrote... i'm agreeing with you.

  • @MetroidMills yea, he's wales's answer to mark lanegan haha

  • @andyholmes121 How can he be criticised for his voice? Bet it's those fake music lovers bumming the macintosh for new ways to fake music and bring a false vain idols In to our children's eyes. These are the people I like to call products.

  • what a class cover:)

  • Somehow, the Stereophonics always manage to cover wonderful songs like this one...

    And, oh my god... This voice... It gets me everytime !

  • Milivoje NOVAKOVIC!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MrBennie9 go to zamzar.com to convert the file to mp3 mate. works for me.

  • Love this song. Really want it on my Ipod but can't find anywhere to buy it?

  • @MrBennie9 rofl you found it already xD ^

  • @wantsomebugs Eh? I realise I found the song but I can hardly convert it to my Ipod from Youtube can I?

  • @MrBennie9 youtube to mp3 :)

  • Thinking of Ryan Dunn whilst listening to this :(

  • i think i prefer this too the foo fighter version, and im a HUGE foo fighters fan. That voice is just perfect

  • OMFG great cover love it

  • love the vocal...

    

  • love kelly jones voice

  • Did he skip a few lyrics? It sounds different.

  • @ACluelessKid , It's quite an accurate copy. As you said, a couple of points where they skipped. In general I'm not averse to covers, but this doesn't work at all, IMO. Phonics lead singer does have a good voice, but this version doesn't make an individual impression... nothing new, or innovative. It's like 'conservative' stylish karaoke, by a vaguely familiar copy-cat, sat in a lounge bar. Sure Dave wouldn't mind though... leads to more people seeking out the original, and unbeatable, version

  • this is a good cover but nothing beasts the foos and dave grohl

  • Really really great .. but well, I prefer the Dave Grohl's acoustic :)

  • this cover is way more awesome!!!!

    youtube.com/watch?v=vXUQ103ynL­4&feature=feedu

  • O.o

  • check out Jumbo Jutt - Best of You (Foo Fighters Cover)

  • Suprised i've never heard this before... love it :-)

  • i am a recent convert to the phonics however i would say we are definately not getting the best of the band out of this song , they do not make this cover thier own unlike the version of nothing compares to you, but the pinnacle of performances is the live version of maybe tommorrow live from dakota , one man owning an entire arena with one voice and a guitar please check it out its magnifico

  • An awesome band covering another awesome band's song! How awesome can that be? Well, DOUBLE AWESOME, of course!!

  • Comment removed

  • @fakegr8ness it doesn't need drive, emotion and scream its about pulling your anger and fear out of u also a song that makes u think so try and do that and maybe u will no wat im on about

  • i prefer foo fighters tbh

  • Okay i am really digging this...still gets the feeling out without the grit of belting it. May have to do a cover of this

  • my sister got autograph signed by these guys, she gave it to me - i didn't know who they were til i came across this video lol

    great cover

  • two of my favorite bands, it cant get any better

  • hell yeah. wow!!! 

  • this cover should have never happened.

    its not done well, and its lacking 100% of the heart and soul that Dave meant for it to have. way to hack up an amazing song.

  • your moms a genius:)

  • Kelly you are cracking yr my idol bud !! xxx

  • absoluter dreck!

  • Stereophonics

    Y U NO SHUT UP?!

  • This is just "one of those songs" you just DON'T touch!

  • @S4mu3L01 so why arent you slagin off other people who have covered it? just because its a great band who have done a great job you start bitchin?

    ah ye and dave grohl has even said he likes it.

  • wtf? why are you comparing them with the foos? they have covered one of their songs there not tryin to pass it off as theirs. The sterophonics are awsome and your just being stuborn if you cant see that this cover is awsome

  • This is a good cover from them but .. No-one can beat The Foos!

  • i dont know kelly, but im getting the best of the 'phonics ^^

  • this is a good one but the original by the foos is THE BEST ...

  • I love this! I'm a HUGE FOO FIGHTERS fan and its difficult to find a really great cover acoustic..job well done :)

  • anyone knows the chords of this version??

    thanks

  • Comment removed

  • @Good101Music faggs listen tho them then comeback ?

  • @widey1995 You have a small penis? We didn't want to know that

  • @Good101Music next joke ?

  • @widey1995 BLONDE: "Excuse me sir, what time is it?"

    MAN: "It's 3:15."

    BLONDE: (puzzled look) "You know, it's the weirdest thing, I have been asking that question all day, and each time I get a different answer."

  • @Good101Music u dont make sence u retard ><?

  • @widey1995 i make perfect sense your little mind just can not co-operate with my high level intelligence

  • @Good101Music there is no hyphen in "cooperate".. just sayin, genius

  • @TerribleCheen Wow, what a petty distinction to butt in with...there should also be an apostrophe after your "sayin", since it's an abbrevation of a word. Or there should be a "g" to make it "saying". Also, your sentences should end with a full stop, and begin with a capital letter. See? Petty fucking things that I can use to pick apart your sentences, and they don't necessarily make me any smarter than you. You should think about this, and learn to complain about things which actually matter.

  • I am genuinely sad this isn't on itunes :'(

  • @JonnyandhisGuitar

    just download it through this video, youtube to mp3 converter

  • The original is better

  • ...I like this version better. In my defence, I'm in love with Kelly Jones' voice.

  • no from there from wales

  • no from wales

  • if u think he's a good singer then u havn't seen much :D

  • @Fizzcarzi Is it not a testament to the brilliance of the song that it can be either "Epic" OR "Depressive, dependant upon who plays it and there own style (Not that I'm saying Stereophonics are depressive before anyone tries turning that one on me). This is a brilliant cover by a brilliant band who clearly like Foo Fighters too since they chose to cover their song.

    Also, Rauscherklaus. You, my friend, are moronic.

  • @Bruceeddie01

    Well, I see what you mean.

    But as a huge fan of the foos I prefer the was they played their song, that's MY opinion, that does not make me 'moronic'.

    + about it being depressive. The song was made to be inspirational, but this cover avoids the point of the song changing it into something it's not. You'll know how I feel when you hear Glee. They have ruined quite a few good songs by turning it into mainstream shit =L. do you know what I mean???

  • @Rauscherklaus im sure foo fighters approved of it tbh otherwise it wouldn't be here. you fuckin retard.

  • @Rauscherklaus

    yes it is a masterpiece!

    everyonr is entitled to their opinion. foo fighters are one of the best. but stereophonics aint crap!

    this is a totally different style and i will GUARANTEE the whole FF band love this version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

    and by the way, sheep not goats lol (i jest)

  • @Rauscherklaus Fail troll is fail

  • Comment removed

  • Respond to this video...hoah!! we found ourselves a racist englishman lol. your use of the word masterpiece makes me think you are a hypocrite as you obviously recognize that the foo fighters version is great, but anyone who really loves music would be more open minded.

    P.s Your insults lack originality

  • not fair to look like and sing like that!

  • This song is nice when it's in a tone you can actually relax to.

  • A good cover, I have to admit. Dave Grohl must be proud now!

  • sheer quality. Kelly jones as such a rustic voice and really makes this song his own awsome

  • sheer quality. Kelly jones as such a rustic voice and really makes this song his own awsome

  • even though this acoustic cover is pretty cool, I think they'd do a good one with drums

  • MASSIVE phonics fan, aint gonna get over this.

    epic. absolutely epic.

  • I think they should do a Bonus track on their next album with this being it...., that would be so awesome

  • no offence, huge fan of the foo's but this song is awesome and this was a s***e cover, proably because it's a recorded "live" acoustic track.

  • banal

  • wonderfull... better than foo fighters i think! u__U

  • @MialinneaM oh god no

  • mannnnnn i love this band no sound like em

  • Sounds like Oasis covering this song. Pretty good.

  • @themetfreak1 Kelly has a much better voice than Liam Gallagher. (I love oasis btw)

  • Love his raspy soulful voice

  • @Hunkybrowndude gives it a special touch I must admit

  • Loved this cover from the first time I heard it, I love the emotion in it. Beautiful :)

  • boss version not better than the foos tho

  • Naci para RESISTIR Y SALIR!

  • dedicadaso para quien para mi es mi princesa..y la mas bonita entre todas!!!...

  • I prefer this one, but dave wrote a great song though, what is it about?

  • look up the lyrics. Songs don't have one specific meaning, it's all about how the audience (you) perceive it. To me, this song sounds like it's about comforting someone close to you who you really care about .

  • think its about, dont let people getting the best of you. You know, not to care about what people say about you, and just keep on doing what you doing. Cuz often people dont like you to get succes if they dont to. they always trying to bring you down

  • the original its a lot better.

  • very good cover,

    but so to is Lee Ryans.
