  • This cover is legit. The best covers are where they take a song, give it a personal tweak, and go for it. You killed it, man. Well done! AMAZING cover.

  • Hey Ben See u on zwinky 76frison76 please write back if u have zwinky :))

  • EPIIIIIIIICCCC

  • amazing dude for real u should make a video tutorial for me to do this exact cover

  • I actually really liked the ending, sounded very incubus influenced. And i like incubus soo... Win!

  • @deathbat1 My roomate is the biggest Incubus fan ever, and has wanted to cover an Incubus tune. You call it, which one?

  • @fastballbc hmmm i would have to suggest Admiration, Pardon Me or Stellar. Or Azwethinkweiz if you could for a laugh :)

  • @fastballbc

    Brother, this and your original songs have inspired me to become a better singer, and pray to be blessed with the skill of songwriting. If you need an incubus request, I'm gonna have to go with "drive".

    And any more originals you can throw out here. Any album you make, I want. Peace.

  • @462toolhead benclark.bandcamp.com is where its at.

  • WTF?? Dude you're AMAZING!!!

  • This video is inspireing -_-

  • Really good cover man. Don't think you needed the echo's after 2:30, you have a good enough voice to fill it without them, but I like your personal style and spin on it for the ending. Well done, I was really surprised.

  • @skimmilk69 Hahaha, sweet. Bieber's got more women than any of us, I welcome that criticism.

  • @skimmilk69 I guess it's pretty trendy to hate Justin Bieber. If you can't recognize raw talent, that's your problem mate.

  • Amazing dude. Keep it up! Love the delay you added to the vocals, and the guitar work was impressive ;) Good job!

  • Amazing. Love the delay you added ;) Great vocals

  • Dude that was awesome, you need to cover some Alter Bridge man, i bet you can hit all the notes Myles Kennedy can.

  • what i don't get is this: how the fuck did justin beiber get famous doing covers on youtube and this guy didn't?

  • hey man love the cover, just hoping you could give me the tab or chord sheet for it, would appreciate it heaps :)

  • Great job man! I hate to see all this negative feedback about how you should preform the song exactly as it's recorded. Rock it how you feel it and to hell with those with their head in the sand.

  • Cada loco con su tema, a mi me gustó mucho el cover, Mucho Mucho

    I Like It !!!

  • Comment removed

  • This guy fucking rocks. Great voice. Great playing. Great cover.

  • great stuff  !

  • This is by far one of the most fucking amazing covers I've heard. Honestly I've been listening to your cover of this song for over a year. I've listened to it countless times and shared it with others just so they could have the privilege of hearing this. Regardless of other's criticisms I thought your interpretations of the song and the way you structured everything and put it together was perfect. I wish you had more to offer that my ears could eargasm to. Have a fucking awesome day dude.

  • really good. your voice sounds like the singer from kaddisfly.

  • Brilliant...Simply brilliant.

  • this is a normal comment but seriously...7 people are deaf

  • mmm, taco bell.

  • yeah, this is really nice!!!

  • Can you post a how to Video for this song. You did a great job. I always love when a people cover a song and instead of it being an exact copy they put a part of themselves in the song.

  • good job man ;) congrats from portugal

  • It's like the voice from the band INCUBUS mixed in with Thrice. Fucking Awesome, I like it.

  • Fucking awesome! Just amazing man, well done :)

  • What kind of setup are you using? Do you have your guitar miced? and whats that reverb on your vocals?

  • You sir are a beast, please do more acoustic covers!

  • really good cover brah, and im picky bout that shit

  • This is really amazing. You've always been so good!

  • DUDE!!!! Old spice is the SHIT!!!! its the difference between "okay" and "amazing" musicians!

  • I love how all these people are jumping all over this cover. It's an AMAZINGLY well done cover, and a personal interpretation of it. It's NOT Thrice, nor is it Dustin Kensrue. You don't like it??? Go record your own damn cover of how "it should be"

    Morons...

    Pull your heads out of your butts and get over it.

    I've had this song on my ipod for a while Ben, and it makes me smile every time it comes on. Good job, keep up the good work.

  • I like it. I mean - yeah it is different!! very different! haha! And when you started, I was shocked for about 5sec as I felt some kind of rush..., but it is your very own interpretation, your voice is absolutely made for this, so why not?!

    For how long are you playing the guitar now? Coz I think it is quiet hard to play, is it?

  • Legg inn respons på denne videoen  amazing

  • It was a great cover man.

    The tempo was fairly consistent, anyone that's played music for more than a year can see THAT xD.

    And I think putting a bit of your own twist on it was nice as well.

    The only thing that I could see that needs a bit of work is your strumming patterns while singing. Which is understandable.

    And the pull offs.

    but that's NOTHING.

    Great Cover man.

    GREAT Cover.

    People are quick to judge XD

  • i like it.

    you gave your touch on it, its your version anyway.

    thrice should rule the world :P

  • wow. you're so good!!! great cover!

  • This is pretty good dude. I like it. wish i could download it to listen to on my i pod. good work.

  • @Tedman2punk file2hd.com

    there you go ;)

  • This is pretty good dude. I like it. wish i could download it to listen to on my ipod. good work.

  • forget about any comments about or disqualifying this song in any way... there are so many songs that have been redone and become hits but i think it's in the special twist each artist throws in naturally that makes the song. i really love thrice and have a lot of respect and admiration for dustin kensrue and i know he, as an artist who covers songs all the time live-acoustic, would definitely enjoy this... great job.

  • Am I the only one who hears Brandon Boyd influenced singing with thrice music? Song sounded pretty siick man. Keep it up

  • i am totally digging this. good job, man. and great voice, too.

  • this is the best cover for this song nice work dude...wait nevermind i just got to the end and thats where it failed. damnnn

  • this is the best cover for this song nice work dude...wait nevermind i just got to the end and thats where it failed. damnnn

  • this is the best cover for this song nice work dude

  • Seriously dude im a fellow musician and HUGE thrice fan. i got a tattoo from themYour amazing and so is this cover. Ive learned that criticism is good especially if you have credentials! for one most people commenting cannot play guitar let alone this song, so dont listen to them in my opinion this rendition is amazing. One thing i need to get off my chest is that this song has a fair amount of screaming in it so him singing it that way was awesome because if he screamed it would of sucked.

  • I'll rephrase for karmas sake. you play well, but another dimesion could be added with the screaming. but my cock really does play killer lead.

  • Comment removed

  • @xikyle I appreciate and thank you for you're constructive criticism. Have a good one. 

  • @fastballbc Sick job dude, I don't care what anyone says. I love Thrice to the point of religion, I still think you killed it.

  • i like it i wanna know the chord arrangement its played like the original only you got some jazzy sounding stuff goin on there.

  • Love this. This cover is definitely not meant to sound exactly like Thrice, which makes it unique, and makes me love it more :)

  • I won't lie, I really enjoyed this cover. I think the twists you added into made it better, at least for this version.

  • Having 50,000 viewers, you're bound to get a few haters. I, on the other hand, think this is as good as it gets when it comes to a cover. Goofy outro however... haha

  • I can't believe people think your tempo is off (!?) and things like that! They probably are just stupid and awful and terrible. You are cool and this is cool.

  • wow surprised to c such negative feedback! All i c is someone who loves dis song and made it his own. good stuff!

  • @swyd7788 ; that's a cover

  • interesting cover. good job dude!

  • this is tight as hell man, keep it up. much respect!

  • Holy balls! You can sing!

  • I genuinely love this cover. <3

  • This is really good. Still no way near as awesome as the original, but I enjoyed listening :)

  • Nice, Guitar size please?:)

  • what assholes hit the dislike button?

  • Dude this is a badass cover!!! Forget the haters...

  • awesome job man, awesome twist on a great song. keep it up. btw violet hill was awesome

  • badass =O

  • good stuff bra this is awesome u got tabs this is liek my fave thrice song and i ONLY play acoustic now , grew out of the electric but i still love to listen to it , mad props on this tho sounds amazing hope to hear back from yah =D

  • I like it, good work on it. If I wanted to hear the original I wouldn't be here. I think Dustin would approve of your version =)

  • Like the guitar but the singing doesn't reflect the emotion in the song, there's a reason dustin screamed/grunged his voice on cirtain parts and sounded defeated on the end, your singing seems more like just textbook good singing with a happy-ish feel.

  • ben, i think your fantastic. Don't listen to these downers. I like how your re-done a song that should'nt even be on acoustic. And it's one of my faves.

  • I think you did a sick job bro. for real i bet not one of the faggots that are talking shit couldn't even play this song on guitart let alone sing it. So don't let them get to, do ya thing because some one who really knows music wouldn't say that you look foolish. And there was no ego in that at all.

  • @ollyman501 What are you going on about, there is pretty much no-one here "talking shit", I just thought there was no need for the ending, it's too much and it just looked to me like he got too into the moment. That's not a bad thing in a way aswell because it shows his passion. I also didn't say he looked foolish and I admitted below that I made a mistake with how I worded my first comment. So fuck off and learn how to read, write and spell you "faggot".

  • @swyd7788 And that my faggot friend is exactly why i hate emo kids. You are the perfect example of an emo kid. lol You think you know everything about the music you listen to when the fucking funny truth is that you ARE A NO ONE! Like really who are you? You came in here talking like it was your song and its not. Not even close. Fuck you and your emo opinion it litterally means nothing. Just do everyone else in your life a favor....( because i know they all hate the way you are emo) GIVE UP!

  • @ollyman501 Hahahahahaha, oh man, I acutally admire your passion in a way. I would say the same sort of shit if i was you probably. Only thing is, you are only reacting to the last sentance I said to you, which was insulting on my part to be fair but I am not having a go at this guy. As I said, I was wrong with what I said about him in my first post and attempted to correct that and so was far more constructive with my criticism of the ending of this cover.

  • @ollyman501 I'm honestly, and I'm really not just saying this, not emo. I hated emo when if first became more prominent when I was about 17 I think. In my opinion, the whole emo thing has ruined bands like Thrice, who were my favorite band by a mile until Vheissu. It's just got worse from there, as a result of emo. So don't go accusing me of that just because I think your friends acoustic cover of Deadbolt is geat apart from the ending!

  • @swyd7788 Oh and for the record idiot he said he looked foolish not you. So you should learn how to read or at least follow a human conversation. If you want to throw your fucking, edward cullin, emo kid opinion in... try out as a fucking judge on american idol because the way you present your self on here is the equal to simon call. All i see when you type is "Oh hey have you heard? i am an emo kid." or " Oh geese my opinion matters to my mom so it HAS to mean somthing on the internet"

  • @ollyman501 The more I read your reply to me, the more I want to rip into you as much as I can, but I know that'll get us nowhere. Hopefully my responses to you (in which I have held back as much as I possibly can), will make you see that I'm not a pathetic little emo cunt and just someone who misworded a critical response to someone's cover of one of my favorite songs.

    By the way, I'm 23 so I don't generally refer all my thoughts to my mom, I work in the music industry and "for the record" ...

  • @ollyman501 I was not the one that said he looked foolish, that was your and his interpritation, and I quote..... "do ya thing because some one who really knows music wouldn't say that you look foolish", I never said he did, just your two's interpritation of what I said.

  • Awesome job dude, I'm really impressed. Keep it up.

  • dude if your not signed by anyone i want you to i love your music

  • @swyd7788 I appreciate the effort to be constructive, but I'd appreciate it more if 1) my ego was kept out of it, specifically you claim that I'm into myself and 2) the suggestion that there is a right or wrong way to interpret a song was gone. Music is timeless because other artists besides the creator are influenced enough by the original conception of the idea to recreate it themselves. I'm sorry you didn't like my choice, and I have no issue with that, but please don't make me look foolish.

  • @fastballbc That was probably the wrong way of putting to be fair, I'm just saying you went a bit over the top when there's no need. I don't think I made you look foolish in any way though!

  • @fastballbc dont TRY to make him look foolish, because theres no way anyone can take away from the epic awesome of this take on deadbolt.

  • @fastballbc I've watched this video plenty of times, and will continue to do so and I think you did a fantastic rendition. KEEP KEEPIN IT REAL.

  • @swyd7788 It doesn't have to be a cover exactly like them. If you hear any cover that thrice does, or Dustin in his solo stuff, you hear that it's never the same as the originals. Music is always opened to being changed. He did a great job.

  • @juniorv6 What are you talking about? Pretty much every Thrice song dustin covers sounds near on identical to the original, just with an acoustic and only Dustin performing it obviously.

    I know you'll disagree because that seems to be the trend on here, I'm not allowed to not like this cover because if I do I am apparantly disrespecting some sort of omnipotent figure in good old benny boy here.

    There's some serious fucking mentalists around.

  • @swyd7788 Music is self expression, whether writing an original or thinking of a way to cover/arrange a song. Who are you to try and take that away? Being a musician is taking a unique spin on things, what good would it serve to take a song and create a carbon copy? Ben does a truly amazing job putting a beautiful spin on already a moving song.

  • @swyd7788 This is the worst comment i have ever read on you tube.

    What is the point of covering a song unless your putting a unique twist on a song.

    If your hunting around for covers that sound the same as the origional you might as well listen to the album.

    @fastballbc all i want to say is that this was the best and funnest deadbolt or even thrice cover i have come acrosss. recorded beautifully. dude good work

  • @NathanJamesTubes How can you say it's the worst comment on youtube? This must be the only thing you've ever watched if you really believe that. This place is like the mecca for special needs comments, retards would make pilgrimages to youtube if it was an actual place.

    I didn't say it's bad, i thought he went over the top, that's all.

    I don't agree with what you say about covering songs at all, I'd go into detail but I have this feeling you won't listen to reason, so there's probs no point.

  • @swyd7788  The beauty about music is that it can be different. He can turn the song anyway he wants to instead of just trying to copy exactly the original song. Props to him about it. No one forces you to watch the video.

    Dont try to "protect" Thrice, seriously thats just dumb.

  • @swyd7788 You suck IMO

  • @happyguycol Wow, such a clever, mature response. Fuck me, I wasn't even insulting the guy, just gave my opinion on it and then aload of moronic fuckwits like yourself get all offended. Just fuck off you cunt.

  • @swyd7788 This is an absolutely amazing cover.

    I truly can't get enough of it.
