Acoustic Devastation and Reform

[quizking109]

Hey! The little snowflake works good on this video!

[birdythrowrman]

he needs a haircut...

[TheDarkrose40]

@birdythrowrman no he dont he looks great with long hair

[brentiscoolify]

me and friends play this for a talent show for school..we won ..oh how did my self-esteem go up..thank you relient K

[KaneCammyLove]

3 person don't know what is the real music.

[TheLostBorealis]

It reminds me of mumford and sons a little bit :)

[TianaLovesUnderoath]

@TheLostBorealis Relient K was way before Mumford And Sons, JS.

[TheLostBorealis]

@TianaLovesUnderoath I know but the song reminds me of them :)

[thewierdone1989]

this isnt fair... this is amazing, but i've always loved the original... grr...

[zalbar8181]

Relient K is my favorite band of all time, their songs are amazing, and have a deep meaning, and thats what music is... but every video i see of them playing, Matt always has a moment of staring into the camera. and if you look into his eyes you can see he deeply means what he sings. and thats what makes this band soo much better then all those hip hop, and rap music, where the musics only point is sex.

[nsncupcakeJedi]

they need to remake ALL of their songs acoustic <3

[FearCanDriveStick]

Ya....great song!

[WoahItsMollyO]

most def not the best band ever... do some research....HOWEVER they are perty friggin talented!

[llamalover8oh8]

@WoahItsMollyO i disagree. :p they are most definitely the best band to ever roam the earth. even if they didn't roam the earth, they'd still be pretty amazing.

[yahs12]

I wish I was the mic

[logankowarsky]

"Fear can drive stick" XD love those kind of lines.

[Drummer4G0D]

Probably a Tuesday

[parakaters]

@Drummer4G0D LOL yes. red tee with a brown shirt is definitely a Tuesday look.

[timnow8]

When was this performed?

[finiteinfinity1985]

The two people who clicked the "dislike" button apparently "Devastated," but never "Reformed." So sad... :-)

[Kakashi572]

first time i come across this and its a fantastic acoustic version !

[victoryp1998]

matt is soooo cute

[73mattman73]

@victoryp1998 thanks. haha jk

[victoryp1998]

@73mattman73 lol noo problem , unless ur not XD jk

[SafetyOrangeSock]

loooove the way the guitar sounds at the first of this song

[ShinhoDynasty7]

A few years ago, I listened to this cd over and over and over again and loved it. Now I'm listening to the acoustic and its like totally new!

[rk4life13]

The riff almost sounds better on an acoustic; Matt Hoopes is ridiculously good

[crayola7344]

what kind of microphone does he use for the first verse?

[CollegeSwimmerKid]

@crayola7344 filtered.

[TheBenWelch]

@crayola7344 looks like a harmonica microphone.

[RoraBorieAlice]

My most favorite song from them! LOVE it Acoustic !!!!!

[RoraBorieAlice]

My most favorite song from them! LOVE it Acoustic !!!!!

[LunaApriil]

I love acoustics!! <3 <3

[tekneticmusic]

If you switch qualities at the point that it messes up it will start working again. Then just switch back...

[dbfydtn]

i stumbled across relient k's live videos thinking they would amount to nothing compared to their albums, but now I venture to say that this is better than the recording.

[CrustyBits777]

Petition for the rest of the song...

[CrustyBits777]

AAAAAAHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where's the rest? Or is that just where it stops? This can't be it...

[JavidOnd]

@CrustyBits777 Yeah that really is just the end of the song.

[tamakifangirl1]

okay question idk if its just this comupter or the actualy vid. but when I watch it the video part is sped up but the music part is normal.

[SuperNerd64x4]

@tamakifangirl1

i have the same problem...:/

[1justbeatit]

@SuperNerd64x4 its the video.

its not synced.

[FearCanDriveStick]

why the heck does it speed up so fast and cut the time of the video to 2:03?

[kidboxful]

these guys are absolutly amazing.

[loveamanderf]

love isn't a strong enough word for my feelings on this particular video. ♥

[AllieeCormier]

nice voice dude!

[rightovertherainbow]

I keep on forgetting how much I love this band.

[catholicxox]

This is beautiful

[nox1sxmessenger]

2 mics side-by-side creates a delay/echo shimmer because they both pick up the sound and blend the two tone styles.

1 clean and 1 with some kinda filter effect. So simple, but super effective.

[miguelu51]

i love this version its great!

[thetopsec]

is this on itunes? i cant find it.

[Danndays]

try video2mp3 just google it.. its free and legal i use it for songs i cant download from itunes or my albums

[HiMyNameIsBraxton]

Yeah what he is using in the verses is a Shure green bullet. He uses in concert without the tape.

[devenmmarsh]

i personally like this version a LITLLE better then the original

[theheartrender]

love this version!

[misterawesome1994]

what kind of mic is matt using at the beginning?

[Afr0Pirate]

What that thing he uses to distort his voice in the beginning of the song?

[jamespweb]

im pretty "shure" that it is a Shure 520DX Green Bullet Mic.... lol get the pun. im guessing its a harmonica mic

[dtmd813]

It is a Shure 520DX "Green Bullet" and it has a 1/4" cable so you can plug it straight into an amp and that will help you get the distortion.

[nick2002j200]

he is just muffeling his mic with tape

[parkrizzle]

No he just has two mic's taped together

[Binxes11]

No, its an older mic taped to the stand. The old 'pop filters' used on mics gave it that "distant" effect.

[HuggItOut]

amazing. (:

can't wait to see them october fourth. <3

[littlem00]

where were they where you saw them?

[HuggItOut]

bostonn. (:

they played this song,

but the original version.

[xxsamplextextxx]

i was there! it was basically awesome.

[antoniodikkegay]

I wouldnt say they are the best band in the world, but they belong to the best ;)

[guitarrpink]

nice very good the video jej

[stormdreaker]

:O

dave is a babe you dwonk!

[timetopone4]

they didnt replace him he quit

[BasketballforJesus]

2:48, the change of events, and the best lyric of out a lot of there songs. Who says they're the best band of all time? I do.

[SpitfireZero]

ME!

[tinkandray]

@BasketballforJesus yes, i would have to agree with both of those statements.

[BasketballforJesus]

This is just great, just great.

[mynameiskaylap]

omg i love this song but it 10 million times better acoustic!

[xFrogLoverx]

Wow... The music is truly amazing :D

[black4god]

[polarbearlove]

[emptyexit]

[muzicizmylife9]

[Jamesrfs]

i like matt hoops guitar playing

[petterhny]

me too, right now im playing wht he does

[Jamesrfs]

[petterhny]

yes, i mostly use tabs, but they are often wrong, so i check it by ear. 911tabs . com is a great place for tabs. there you can compare different tabs from different websites.

[LOOKOVERHEREitsMARIE]

OMG! I LOVE THIS SONG!

I think it's better than the original version!

the guitar is so GOOD!

I LOVE RELINT K<3

[salem890]

[gopher112394]

anyway to get the mp3?

[hippisak]

Yeah, I would also like to know that. I hate the punk version of "life after death and taxes" but i love the acoustic version. And I think it hasnt been released on some album

[txmr1892]

this song is only available at itunes, with Sloop John B, Life After Death and Taxes and other stuff.

And in my opinion the punk version of Life After Death rocks!;)

[ironmandan2]

life after death and taxes is AMAZING!!

[superfreak1164]

i completely agree, fenix. the normal version of this song is my fave song by them, and this did not make me rethink tht. this was an awesome rendition.

[TheBloodyLam]

i love mr frodo/matt!!!

[clakybasim]

Haha, I know...he SO looks like Frodo.

[animelover91895]

lol great song i love the opening!

[fenixflyer91]

this is the exact reason why i love this band, they take an awesome song from its origional version, and make another really awesome version of it... it shows that all they can do is get better!

sooo awesome! XD

[supergirl11097]

i love this song and relient k

[flamingice777]

relient k is good at making their rockin' songs into accoustics. i wish my band could be like this lol

[KrystsavedMe]

[vballuvr6446]

[paulineluvswtp]

"failure is a blessing in disguise"

ahh matt is a genius <33

[guitarkd19]

[KrystsavedMe]

ya its a harmonica mic

[superfreak1164]

this is awesome. only relient k can take one of their hardest rock songs and make it acoustic, and still be just as awesome. Go Relient K!!

[ricoona]

the sound of the guitar in the beginning...

reminds me of..i dont know a fighting game in an old game console.. LoL

[princessjennym]

oops i meant deluxe edition

[jeanzinhusf]

perfect song!! Relient K THE BEST OF WORLD!!

LUV RELIENT K!

[RelientkRuleZ]

[love2playbball]

I love Schneck's guitar.

[yatta428]

[alligrl18]

[braddythafatty]

[FaIseHope]

I think so, I love this version so much =]

[tamakifangirl1]

that would be soo cool!!

[joelleiby]

haha i feel so bad for Dave sitting back there on his tambourine and shaker! - i know he'd prolly rather be behind his set beasting on his drums...But this version is really good!

[tamakifangirl1]

yeah, lol

[LoganLLyon]

this version of this song is 1000 times better than the regular version. the only reason is because of the amazing guitar arangement.

[braddythafatty]

i agree, make an acoutic cd!!

[490295]

they should make a cd entirely with original acoustic songs they sound way better acoustic i love it

[lotrfan8]

Birds and the B-sides has a bunch of acoustic versions of previous songs. Check it out!

[490295]

[estarbucky911]

[keepitlegalmygeeza]

[muziklvr101]

lol about 12,000,000 people agree with you. :D

[mosayyad]

first of all this version is th pwnage... way better than the first and its an octave lower so it's way easier to sing... second its hilarious if you pretend that the drummer is lifting weights

[icbrockz]
