Nickel Creek Toxic at ACL 2006

[VitaNuovaRevolution]

oh, wow, that's hilarious!!! hahahaha!! <3

[darkatreides]

i was there! great memories.

[Mariooo57]

Haha that was pretty good, A Static Lullaby did a good job as a different genre too

[emilymichellenelson]

This is the greatest thing that has ever happened to a Britney Spears song.

[kevinjlover345]

Is it me or does Chris look like Robert Pattinson?

[Jenni4Design]

sean doesn't look so happy, but it makes it more funny

[mwooden06]

This was amazing live! Saw it a couple times!

[PowderMuffins]

LOOL 0:52

[rosemarymclaughlin]

haha.....terrible voice but good song, very hard to sing, such a high key and you need a higher regioster than this guy....funny

[shadown64]

It'd be nice if there were a clean version without girls screaming directly into the goddamn mic.

[ArbitraryLox]

I miss these guys..

[BocefusT81]

Not only is this better than the original, but Sara Watkins far outlooks Britney Spears. Sara is just so freakin beautiful (well, in my opinion, anyway)

[HollyOgre]

this is the coolest thing i've seen in a reeeaaalllly long time. i wish they were still together!

[tylerbrainerd]

sean looks so bored.

[JKAgee]

I just now realized that Chris Thile and Robert Pattinson resemble one another in the most desirable way! :o) Eye candy and an INCREDIBLE Mando player!

[camerican17]

You forgot amazing voice and awesome dance moves

[seanmharcailin]

@JKAgee chris thile is the attractive version of robert pattinson.

[MasterZiggy92]

@seanmharcailin do not ever relate them in the same sentence.

[MasterZiggy92]

@JKAgee RP will never deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with the legend that is Chris Thile. Not even that sentence.

[marzipanthequeen]

I am in love with this! They're adorable, and this towers above the original!

[jcfreeman1990]

Sara's fiddling makes my heart break in the best possible way.

[drewsky67]

I love Sara! She's feakin' amazing!

[missiworld]

Oh, I would marry Chris Thile in a heartbeat.

[lovesickauthor]

Oh my god....this completely made my day. I want my very own Chris Thile. :)

[TheKierra93]

Your very lucky!

[strauch2010]

this song makes me smile every single time i watch it.

i adore chris thile.

his dancing moves make me so happy :D

[FoS57]

В поряде!!!)))

[ChrisS5111]

Amazing. The move he does at 1:35 makes me smile.

[JustMargaret]

God. I am so turned on by this. THILE IS SUCH A BABE.

[hope4change2012]

OMG!!!! Wow! I love this song now!!!! He's so funny!

[Octahoney]

As much as i DISLIKE britany's version, THIS version is only pure F*king AWESOME because it....so thanks, britany for your lame version! :):)

[ChalepaTaKala]

I only regret that I can only favorite this once.

[bekbog]

Great cover! the girl was a little pitchy at the end, but can't be perfect all the time :) love this band!

[bekbog]

I actually didn't like this song until I heard them do it, but I just like the smooth sound :)

[ThatShowMD]

i was at their last concert at the sandler center, VA and they did this and Jackson 5, I Want You Back.

[Trublumlvcfan]

so much better than the original!!

[brianandsam4ever]

a static lullaby's cover is WAYY better

[popeye2003]

Is this for real?

[BocefusT81]

@popeye2003 I think there's a chance it started out as a joke, but it's so awesome and fun, so who really cares.

[ShadowHaruka]

Better than original!

[MyLyrics13]

total hillarium ...britney spears should feel very owned!

[Laggero79]

That is so awesome ahahaha !

[XshattereddreeamsX]

when he shakes his hips is so hot haha and amazingly funny

nickle creek rules =D

[neonom1024]

see, when people like this do it, it's actually good

[TobiasRadiantlight]

people are always like "It's a crappy song, britney did it" but people always forget...she had absolutely nothing to do with the writing of the music, lol

[smileychipper]

it was the funniest thing ive ever seen when they did it in lexington

[CreeksAndTheFlow]

Cool stuff

[italirican2003]

ugh, absolutely horrible! like the original better.

[boysxlikexgirlz]

nickel creek is the best!, there cover of this song really needs to be on itunes

[charmmykittyfan]

Awesome! I love this!

[chantoke]

he definitely got laid like a champ after that show

[BocefusT81]

The members of Nickel Creek are some of the most brilliant young musicians out there today. They did a bluegrass cover of a britney song, and actually made it good. THAT'S TALENT!

[sarahxboxbeara]

0:55 makes me laughcry every time!

[gwoman23]

More often than not, I like NC's cover of the song better than the original song, this being one of them! ...just wondering, why does Sean always look so serious?

[doggielover3]

I Freakin' love this!!!!

[pseudodeduction]

Nickel Creek. I'm addicted to you, because godammit, as you're fully aware you are toxic.

[DarkTone12]

I would kill a kitten to be able to play mandolin like he can -_-

guess I started 10 years too late lol

[drXpepperXcrew]

killing kittens is not nice josh...but, hey i would kill a lelephant to be able to sing like sarah, or play like her!

[SinusVB]

This is an awesome cover, to bad the lousy audio quality of the video doesn't give the bass-player the credit he deserves...

[toritheditz]

Haha... gotta love chris thile

[stephenhart916]

this is folkin awesome

[mikowe]

i really really did not like toxic until now..go nickel creek

[drXpepperXcrew]

yeah me too

[queenOFtheHILL]

Nickel Creek did the impossible. They made Toxic sound good.

[zebrahead07]

well the beat to that song was incredible they just are an extremely talented band for pulling this off so well... down to the vocals this whole thing was sooo good. :)

[queenOFtheHILL]

true.

[sarahxboxbeara]

I know. I love this song now. xD

[rosemarymclaughlin]

@queenOFtheHILL You didn't think Britney 's version was as good???? I do not believe you for a minute that song is a classic at this stage, have you ever tried to sing or play it????

[queenOFtheHILL]

@rosemarymclaughlin No, actually I don't think Britney's version is as good. I am a Nickel Creek fan, not a Britney Spears fan. Her voice annoys me. And who said anything about this song being a classic?lol Seriously where did that come from? And no, I've never had the urge to cover Toxic.

[rosemarymclaughlin]

@queenOFtheHILL It's always being covered as are all Britney's hit songs, even Tribe 8 covered it and they are hard core...most musicians would consider it a great song! and it's timeless and it won a grammy, and Britney has sold over 85 million albums, how many has this band sold? I never heard of them and they cannot sing that high and really sound screech-ey

[queenOFtheHILL]

@rosemarymclaughlin Oh I get it, you're a troll. Well, I'll end my part of the conversation with this. I really could care less how many albums this band has sold. I like their music. That's all that matters.

[rosemarymclaughlin]

@queenOFtheHILL What's a troll? And I am just of a fan of the song, so I googled it to hear different versions, is that what a Troll does. I am a 48 year old Mum of two who happens to like all kinds of music without any prejudices or "street cred" at stake. And the expression is " I couldn't care less" (as in: I care so little that I could not care any less than I do) not I COULD care less.... ........It doesn't make sense the way you say it in the US, why do so many people get it wrong?

[TBSMandolin]

@rosemarymclaughlin (aka musically retarded)

You do realize they are covering it as a joke (as evidenced by thile's 'provocative' dance moves) and it just happens that because they are awesome musicians they made it sound cool, right? I think Nickel Creek beats Brittany any day simply because i've never heard her pick up an instrument and if she has, I doubt it was as awe inspiring as Chris consistantly is. Also the fact that he never went insane doesn't hurt.

[CAYOMluver]

@TBSMandolin She plays piano and has done so in concert.

[supermusicalboy]

@TBSMandolin WHY DO YOU KEEEP ON CRITICIZING MUSICIANS? cant you just fuckin listen to them? ENJOY FOR CHRIST SAKE. THEY ARE ALL GOOD. BUT IN THEIR OWN WAY. STOP TALKING TRASH. damn. people are getting really stupid.

[TBSMandolin]

@supermusicalboy I don't find her to very legitimate. I find nothing particularly interesting about anything she sings or writes. She might be a musician but so is the kid that's been playing guitar for 2 days. Musically, These guys kick her as to hell and back. But her forte isn't muscianship, its how entertaining she is. She's an entertainer. I just don't find her entertaining cause I prefer excellent muscianship. Like these guys.

but whatever

[supermusicalboy]

@TBSMandolin well that's because you like a different genre of music..art is not always what you like dumbass. people appreciate this kind of music. YOU ARE NOT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE. not just because you dont like this music , it means ITS NOT MUSIC. GROW UP STUPID BOY.

[wolfwood221]

@queenOFtheHILL This gets the amen of the year.

[CAYOMluver]

@queenOFtheHILL It sounds good all by itself thank you very much.

[sagesky12]

Chris Thile... you couldn't be any more undeniably amazing!

[Anon4graetjustice]

best cover ever

[lastadia]

pant, pant.. ohhh my god he is the sexiest.

[xsaeXdnax]

ewiee

the "pant pant" is unnecessary. and disturbing.

[darkhorsegirl]

Bwahahhaha oh yeah.

[zwaailicht]

Omgash, this is really great! I don't like Britney, but I like Nickle Creek, and it's really cool. =D

[mollygooch]

lol

[camerican17]

haha

i know thats the only reason why i listened to this song

it is SO much better than brittney's version

[rosemarymclaughlin]

@camerican17 Ha ha hahahahah funny! its so screeechy

[Xerro013]

Look at Sean....He always looks pissed. I think hes embarrassed lol...

But this is a really great version, love Chris, damn best mandolinst Ive ever seen.

[DJKissez]

That was so much better than i expected it to be!!!!! Two thumbs WAY up!

[Kompe2]

Haha awesome ! Like this way more than original (no offense / Offence (?) )

[anna7lp7fm]

sexi

[scurvyfuckingpete]

That was hot in a sort of homoerotic way.

<3 love them.

[urorangeumoron]

OMG! thats too funny, Chris singing a Spears song!! *ROTFL*

[chiso867]

mando god strikes again-

easily smiting the women in the audience (or on youtube) to find him a mix of incredibly funny and attractive.

honestly, Nickel Creek does the best covers.

They are the most innovative in my opinion.

Thank you for posting this ^_^

[roxiegrl561]

chris thile is a mando god.

lol.

[lostjunky]

he's so adorable...

He performs it great!!!!

I like this version WAY better than the 1st

[tuidayne24]

hahaha

[carljosephcummings]

theres another "bluegrassy" band named tipping holly from cape girardeau missouri that covers this pretty well a female singer violinist mandolinist bassist and guitarist check em out on myspace

[BGberserker]

Wow, small world, I guess. I go to school in Cape and I was friends with the first violinist(I think) that tipping holly had, and I also know the one they currently have. Crazy.

[NcklCrkRcks]

i think it's amazing that he can do that song so well, and he is so adorable when he sings, it makes me smile :D

[maroon5zealot]

very cute and interesting... who would've thought of that?

[xenawena]

if you were in the front row why are people in the video in front of you?

[hellolacey123]

they had a spot for photographers, I was as close as I was allowed.

[KisharuBloodyBane]

Wow...this is interesting xD Kinda good though x3 I love me some blue grass, but wow~ It does show they have a good sense of humor, or they wanted to try something a little different...ok a lot xD I still love them though~ The hand song is love <3

[r0llingst0ned]

Good to see a band with a sense of humor, unlike some of the people posting here unfortunately

[Dudenbostel5]

Chris Thile is my dad.

[acidburnhigh]

lol sure ... you are 18 now and he is nearly 27 so he was 9 when you where born ... and 8 when he "made" you ...

still think he is your father ?

[sweetafton23]

I think you give him too much credit.

[acidburnhigh]

i'm sorry ;-)

[howyoudoin289]

Doubt it.

[wvfisherguy]

THAT was hilarious!

[alwaystardi]

LOL! does anybody else die every time they listen to this? Chris Thile must be a very secure man^_^. Sara's got some nice vocal parts in this song- and, thanks to her, I can now think of the violin part w/out having nightmares, like I did w/ Brittney's version. lol, and there's Sean looking grumpy over in the corner. I don't think bubblegum pop was his first choice of music at the moment.

[KabongoBaby]

lol Chris is hilarious

[SarahEDobson]

OMG!! FREAKIN HOLARIOUS!! I love this one hehe's..!!

[handicappedhero]

Only they could make this song good. Long live the New Grass genre!

[godsgirl26]

This has nothing to do with Nickel Creek, but what are channel views? What does it mean if I have 10 of those?

[godsgirl26]

Never mind...

[terranse85]

secondo me è più carina questa versione che quella della Spears.

[Gupmastermike]

I love Nickel Creek. I'm seeing them tonight, and I'm watching this to get pumped up, haha.

And I agree, Chris Thile is sexy.

[alwaystardi]

Uh! No fair! I think I'm going to go pout now b/c I've never had the chance to see them :(. Where's their next venue, do you know? How was the show? Pretty awesome, I bet- did they play Toxic?

[sleighte]

jesus christ the girl is terrible; out of tune, too quiet, annoying as hell! fire her! i'm glad they're breaking up if she was in this group

[sleepingbeauty2911]

whoa....harsh words....she's great...

[Phrox1013]

lmfao!!!!! ur a fucking joke. go make a vid of urself playing fag.

[RambleRose]

Heh. Them's fighting words.

In all seriousness though, Sara's a great vocalist and an AMAZING violinist.

[NcklCrkRcks]

it's just the video that makes her sound like that, she is an amazing singer in real life. Don't be hating cuz u can't sing like that

[ViolentYearZero]

This is AMAZING.

[toonysrule1000]

i thought britney does this! but hes wayyyyyyyyy bettttteeeeeer

[fuckthisbulshit]

yes, having talent makes a world of difference

[churrobilly]

hahaha thats great!

awesome i love it!!!

XD

[eria3490]

Chris Thile is sexy.

[BrittanyAutumnBurns]

Best cover of this song ever.

I like it better then Brittenys...

[calbaptist08]

In my opinion, Nickel Creek deserves far-more recognition than they get. A song such as this proves why. I don't care if it's a Britney Spears song. Britney WISHES she could've pulled a song off like this.

It's a shame that they're breaking-up. Oh well, at least it's amicable and, when all is said and done, you do what you gotta do.

[lynze1220]

I acually really like this :P

[jochowschmoley]

did they write this song or are they just performing it?

[rosemarymclaughlin]

@jochowschmoley Britney wrote this song with Bloodshy and Avanti

[VictoryCube]

Just saw them perform this. I love them.

[luciferswife1234]

they just did a concert last night at the grand theater. they did toxic. it was hilarious!!!  their other songs were amazing of course.

[professionalhuman]

I was there!! LOVED IT

[rockel1986]

Yes. Rockin'.

[MrBrightside0151654]

I bet he'd look better in a bellyshirt, too

[audreyakaACE]

this is SOO AWESOMEE!

BEST THING EVER!

[acidburnhigh]

WTF ???

[ladybuggcla]

What?! Seattle got them to do Freebird?! I got shouted in Columbus, and then shouted a second time and Chris just replied "Yeah, Freebird was funny the first time..." But they ARE the greatest band EVER!!

[McLachlan1828]

They've been my favourite band for so long, and I like a LOT of different music. I've seen Elton John, The Who, and so many others, and I'd rather go to Nickel Creek's concerts. They are always so surprising with the things they performed. They did Freebird at the last concert I went to in Seattle.

[mbishop1113]

Nice camera work Spielberg. Reminds me of The Blair Witch Project movie.

[FenderMan88888888]

thats awsome

[JustABadTypo]

Hahaha.

They sing it better than Britney does. xP

[3allz]

.....?????

ofc they do britney is a pile of shite

[gamestopnate]

I've seen them twice in concert. Indianapolis and then in Cincinnati. Both times they were great. I would love to see them again.

[Kay41DMB]

hahah this is great!  I get to see nickel creek in pagosa springs, co, tomorrow, I can't wait!!

[redneckgirl9291]

The concert in pagosa was AMAZING!! I was in front row. wowsers!!!!

[Kay41DMB]

lucky! my boyfriend and I didn't get under the tent until before their set. It wasn't easy finding seats! But I was so impressed with their show!!

[redneckgirl9291]

No kidding it wasn't easy! I showed up around 4ish and worked my way from the back to the 5th row to the front! Ya, their show was amazing!

[Kay41DMB]

I recorded a couple clips of some songs - including toxic!! I'll put them up soon!

[moroseragazza]

Sean looks so uncomfortable.

[hellolacey123]

it was hot outside.

very hot.

[katekate13122]

Way better then Britney! Nickel creek makes this song way better and much much funnier! Chris needs to shave though =P

[MattandAJ]

I have to agree, this is MUCH better than the Brittany Spears version.

[PepMoix]

Amazing. I thought I would never like this song... This is good and hilarious. Love it.

[satchmo855]

OH...I was so there for that performance. It was great. ACL was amazing.

[kgillh100]

hahah this is awesome. i love chris.

[warreaver67]

this is funny as hell!! Nickel creek is by far better at this song than britney spears even when thy're making fun of her haha

[ilk1983]

are they makin fun od BS???

[hellolacey123]

no they are being amazing.

[omfgtessison]

neck ties are fine he looks good. hugee people like Justin Timberlake wear them during concerts.
