Of Montreal - "I'm So Tired" (Beatles Cover, Live at WFUV)

[Blanketeyes]

Friggin love this cover

[PatD12591]

ppl that say this band is from Canada make me laugh, but what makes me laugh harder is how ppl call of Mont hipsters. seriously wtf , you obviously haven't heard any of there albums considering half of you are only here cuz its a Beatles cover . plus these guys have been around since the mid nineties . Hipster is just a term that can't describe this band , they are in a league of there own

[JoshHunter1999]

@PatD12591 quiet, hipster

[yonnystarr]

mediocre

[thricepudding]

wow. so bad



[SeltsamerAttraktor]

Who gave those cats microphones?

[Mutilationer]

awesome cover, holy shit..

[Heimsdalsgate]

of Montreal and the Beatles. Two bands in my top 4 bands of all time in one song <3

[awebley34]

I fucking love it!

[Obeijin]

Sounds like Roseanne Barr...

[rezurrektur]

this version fucking blows

[TheTenzillionare]

the guy sounds like a tenor but he cant belt it like lennon who was a baritone

[pa2pb]

shit band shit clothes

[prisionnerofsociety]

@pa2pb Shit comment

[pa2pb]

@prisionnerofsociety shit name

[davidbowieswaffle]

This is fucking terrible

[spongygirl20]

@davidbowieswaffle You, sir, have a terrible taste in music.

[joepulliam1]

I fucking love this cover.

[Obeijin]

Sings like Roseanne Barr...

[iamjoedubois]

dude, whats up with all the assholes being assholes on this video?

...

assholes..

[mydlands]

I know the song is about being tired, but they sound tired... and not with good artistry. It just sounds sloppy and unappealing. Big dislike.

[Masthope]

Decent, although they might have been better leaving this one alone. It's the type of song where even subtle mistakes or inability to hit certain (ridiculously hard i'll admit) notes takes away from the song IMO.

They do any other Beatles covers? This is hard song to judge a band by

[toiletsrus]

@Masthope You're judging a band by a cover? Listen to their own stuff. If you only like covers for some reason, I enjoy Kevin Barnes' rendition of Starman by David Bowie.

[omgstfudavid]

holy shit dumbs down just because of the pants they are wearing

[MrSeymoureBush]

The vocals were disturbingly shit like

[Walrusii]

this is what's so great about hipsters. they make it possible for people without talent to get famous

[brunofujii]

@Walrusii I'm sorry, dispite what we can or not call hipsters, they are really talented.

[Stjonnypopo]

Nice rick.

[sseebb91]

Uh, una patada en las pelotas le pegaron al flogger de violeta ...

[prisionnerofsociety]

@sseebb91 No compares a tus asquerosos floggers con Kevin Barnes >.<

[sseebb91]

@prisionnerofsociety Da, parece un flogger. ¿Mis?. No te equivoques.

[JoshHunter1999]

I love both oM and The Beatles, my favourite albums from each being Hissing Fauna, False Priest, Revolver, and Abbey Road. I enjoy this cover *shrug*

[raymondgraney]

It was a great cover. Who cares about the chords because everyone has their own interpretations, that's why it is a cover. All those idiots that don't like your version should attach their video covering the song.

[JoshHunter1999]

lol u all mad

[sathanocracy]

a D R I N KK

i wonder shoulD I !!CALL!! you

[1Ursos2]

WTF is that ?

[ejacobdor]

Wrong chords... but great vibe and beautiful gear!

[malafe1234]

not bad..but i don't understand the point in having all those instruments if they are not being used..also..the vocalist not only looks like Elton John..but he also sounds a little bit fag at 27..that's where he messed up..

[Savedleech]

I cringed at :48. The ending saved it in my opinion.

[paisleybabee]

Nahhhh let Olivia Tremor Control do it or Thee American Revolution..Great Lakes ahhhh whatever

[lilmoney2k3]

He can't hit those notes, and you can't completely sacrifice tonality in a Beatles song. Also the chord progression changes slightly after the first resolution, which they missed.

[PleaseDontBeLong]

This cover fucking sucks. His voice is terrible.

[doubleredsx3]

oh god, they just murdered one of the best songs of all time...

[latta4]

@doubleredsx3 I couldn't have said it better. This is abysmal, wrong chords, shitty vocals and the whole bloody lot.

[latvianderk]

i think that this band is doing an admirable job of this cover... honoring the beatles, but putting their own spin on the music... good job, fellas.

[sybernut]

a lot of the chords are wrong, the singing is awful (chorus is better :-)

[flossin690]

Why do hipsters have to ruin EVERYTHING!?

[BTARD4LIFE]

metalfag detected

[flossin690]

lol so randum XDDDDDDDD

/BEEEEEEEE/ FOR LIEF GUYYS!

[ZOMBIEKITTYxx]

If you don't like it then why are you watching it? ._.

[crappybassist96]

lolz @ Dottie who appears to be off in a corner by herself.

[buckminster]

I'm surprised they don't know the correct chords to the verses.

[riceowl88]

So much better than original..............jk

[grandmastersmith]

i like it for all the ones sayin that it sucks. its got their own style to it and not just completely copying it like all other covers. plus their vocals remind me of a local band that used to be around my town that were pretty good

[chuffeldinho]

this is a pretty bad cover tbh

[Kaixer17]

Fuck you all who think this is a bad cover. The people who think this is a bad cover are 4chan hipsters who think everything sucks in the world.

[dudesons441]

I'd like to see the people that are talking shit make a better cover than Of Montreal's.

[iiknowkungfoo]

ughhh hurts my ears!

[roryfike]

cringing... i'm cringing right now

How can some totally butcher such an easy song to sing. I mean really....

[SirGameandWatch]

Seriously. What they have done is blasphemy.

[staphinfection]

Wow... they butchered my favorite Beatles song.... and it's one of their easier songs!

BUTCHERED!!

[aaronthomaz]

I like Of Montreal, and I'm in forever love with the Beatles. Therefore, I'm definitely on the Beatles' side of this argument, because Kevin completed SCREWED OVER the incredible, dramatic singing from John.

[ZombieRaptor]

Also, that 'cockiness' that's turning a lot of you off is just Kevin's stage persona.

[ZombieRaptor]

Haters can suck it. It's a good cover of a good song from a good band. In fact, I have this game I play called "Early Beatles or Early of Montreal?"

[EdenAckart]

all u like is just this canadian shit how bout gettin a real taste of music instead of just listening to some crying emo guy ripping off of true talent LENNON AND MCCARTNEY ARE GODS

[ZombieRaptor]

Yeah, well. Why don't learn how to type, ya' ....

Ugh

[chubs1029384756]

For one it aint canadian, and two, he's dramatic, not emo. Also he's one of the greatest most underrated songwriters of our time

[EdenAckart]

Sorry, Chubs, you got sucked into me messing with Zombie Raptor. He and I went to an of Montreal show together.

[JWLennonForever]

@EdenAckart They aren't canadian, they aren't emo and whilst they might not be as good a John Lennon (who is?) its not that bad a cover.

[Megera85]

Of Montreal is a band name, they are from Athens, GA, not Canada.

The Beatles are my favorite classic rock band, and Of Montreal is my favorite modern band. Kevin Barnes has a lot of respect for the Beatles and that is apparent in just about every Of Montreal song I hear. They're just jamming out and having fun, it's unnecessary to take it so seriously.

[throwingstick]

@Megera85 lol the beatles being classic rock

[Megera85]

@throwingstick

It's true, though. By radio standards, anyways. :/

[sillyf00]

and you're disgracing the beatles!!

[sillyf00]

how horrible. you suck.

[lysergicalice]

thank you, of montreal, for periodically covering 'the beatles with an a'!

[HeadshotsSe7en]

fukn hipsters this guys voice is pissn me off

[pdsmenthol121]

no one forced you to watch it. :)

[StreetDreamz03]

i la la la la la lovvvvve this and KEVIN BARNES

[fafinaf]

Its cool to be confident but the singer is cocky, and sings like a douche. If hes acting like he doesnt want to sing why should I want to listen. Annoying.

[mxw65]

ehhh he's acting like he's so tired hence the ... oh nevermind.

[fafinaf]

nice try :/

[ThatDevilishOne]

dude, what are you even talking about?? o.O

[TheVideolife]

i like his style and his clothes it's funny and different

[jemelend]

kevin is simply the man.

[lwest68]

Brian has huge feet:)

[ianwlad]

amazing

[lwest68]

Brian's chartreuse pants are hot:)

[lwest68]

I love Brian's outfit:) He is super stylin:)

[ZOMBIEKITTYxx]

>.o;

He's bi-sexual..

and sometimes a cross dresser.

The leadsinger.. Don't remember his name lol.

[JuanitosOhSoFly]

Kevin Barnes. Also married and his a son.

I love how his wife is perfectly and utterly fine with all of it <3

[YesCloseToTheEdge]

she almost divorced him because of it.

[lwest68]

Kevin and Nina have a daughter named Alabee:)

[lwest68]

Kevin Barnes:) PROCESS IT!!!

[TrainerOsky]

He's not bi-sexual... It is his stage alter ego. Kevin Barnes. However, he did "try" to be gay, but it wasn't for him. Lol, trying to be gay.

[Feezed]

I think its pretty cool to see Andy Warhol Playing With Frank Zappa... But really Of Montreal is a great band, and hearing them play The Beatles only makes them better.

[krazyfool88]

of Montreal is definitely one of the most, if not the most important band of our time, if you can't recognize that then you obviousy haven't listened to them and youre just an angry person. Kevin Barnes is a musical genius.

[1skater12]

thats kind of overboard there of montreal is good but not the most important band of this time

[DELIandKEVY]

hilarious comment

[nousernamesallowed]

original wins in this case.

[maplelicorice]

oh kevin, we have the same pants <333

[dntoupin]

Not a very interesting cover. Exactly the same with a flimsy voice.

[dntoupin]

Is he supposed to look like Andy Warhol?

[jstow01]

If human stupidity is endless, and I am in fact stupid, then I do not end. Thus, shooting myself would be a pointless act.

NEXT.

[cartridgeboxers]

Kinda like David Bowie doing a Beatles cover, really great!!

[jstow01]

Why can't all these pretentious hipster fuckwads just die out already? We get it, you're weird and you think that makes you interesting. Here's a pat on the head; now go away.

[Ray424]

...they really arent hipsters if this has been their look....like since forever...

[jstow01]

Trust me, they are art fags.

[josephpnorman]

These guys suck. I don't even understand why people try to cover Beatles songs...there isn't any way to improve them. The Beatles were perfect and this band is ruining an awesome song.

[spingk]

Covers aren't about making a song better. It's about honoring an artist and adding your own influence. Of Montreal has done this here.

[josephpnorman]

All they've done here is make themselves look like fucking idiots with no musical talent.

[spingk]

Alright. Why don't you cover the song and we'll compare. Until you can produce don't talk shit.

[dntoupin]

? Totally don't agree. What about when the cover is better than the original?

[elpurobilly]

wow, one of my favorites bands covering my favorite band!

[bitterman188]

I love this.

[graphictreetop]

i love how they covered such an unconventional Beatles song!

[JohnLennonVideos86]

why are we talking about clothes? The video up top of my comment is a video about a good band singing another good bands song. alright so everybody has to chill the fuck out and listen to the music.

[Kaixer17]

I agree. Clothes don't even matter about how people play. It is how they express themselves and they shouldn't be critisized about what they think looks good. They also do a great cover of this song =)

[voltaiccrusher19]

oh god, it's the hipster police!

why do people care so much how they dress? seriously, get a life. just sayin'

[HexicNexus]

It's a little thing called style, maybe you've heard of it?

[jfidajoiiejrjj]

Come on, everybody. What does it matter what kind of clothes they're wearing? Listen to the music!

[smstr18]

Great song ! =D

[supered86]

They are good musicians, but they totally do dress like butt pirates .Wtf is with the purple jeans and shit? And then all the teenage faggots who have none of their own creativity copy their style and it spreads and spawns a whole generation of fruity-dressing wankers with no sense of "self". This emo/indie style needs to disappear. Just an opinion though, doesn't really mean shit! Cheers! :)

[Clovions]

maybe they are gay?

[HexicNexus]

Indie/emo girls can be mad hot sometimes tho.

[Somone23]

despite me hating indie/emo girls. that statements true

[hap270]

..of Montreal is one of the most important bands of our time????!?? uh, I dont think so.

[harlotswestbernane]

i totally agree. this performance is ruined cause the band are not wearing casual enough clothes. they are so pretentious for not wearing jeans. i think one of them is actually wearing a t shirt at least. i guess he's the non artsy one.

[hrhlynn]

are you the insane fashion nazi??? You are probably a 300 lb. mess calling the most important band of our time "pretentious". Pray tell, what exactly is the dress code of the retarded??

[YummyUkulele]

Like both bands but this is a fail.

[Weleski]

Why are they dressed like a bunch of douche bags? Honestly, good music doesn't require some sort of ridiculous "indie" costume.

Oh, I forgot. They are "artsy." And pretentious.

[canucks16]

fully agreed.

why can't a band just wear jeans t-shirts?

[ellierigby]

its just their style, they are kind of known for how they dress crazily. especially in their shows

[jstow01]

Thank you. These douchebags seem to think that their outfits will distract listeners from the harsh reality that they're not good musicians.

[Kaixer17]

Can you explain how they aren't good musicians? Then, can you explain what bands you listen to.

[jstow01]

They're not good musicians because they haven't managed to do anything interesting or challenging or, frankly, worth listening to with this cover.  Even the Cherry Peel album, which is fun to listen to, contains a bunch of poorly-played songs.

[Kaixer17]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Have you listend to Hissing Fauna, are you the Destroyer? or Skeletal Lamping? Those are their 2best albums! And they didn't even do anything to this song because they know they would ruin it if they changed it.

[jstow01]

Interesting, then, that they did nothing to this song and still ruined it.

[sanjay926]

hey, i think of montreal's music is fun, there show was fun, and maybe this cover didnt really and anything to my opinion of them or anything, but i wouldent say that there better musicians than me (im not a musician) and a lot of other music out there. (not that there is not a wealth of other good or better stuff,)

[prisionnerofsociety]

@Kaixer17 Dude! What about the Sunlandic Twins? Or Satanic Panic in the Attic? or the Gay Parade? Or Cherry Peel? Or... or... EVERY FUCKIN' THING THEY DO IS AWESOME!

PS: By the way, have you listened to False Priest? Is awesome :D

[dntoupin]

Yeah, but cool clothes can be fun. Lennon and McCartney were pretty pretentious too.

[chunkybutt420]

some bands shouldn't be covered.. the beatles are one

[hrhlynn]

FUV should be alt more often. I'm soooooo sick of Indigo Girls and Ray la Montagne. This is fabulous, thanks.
