  • one of the better cross overs ive heard so far in this playlist

  • that poor violinist. it sounds good but he must be so bored.

  • My favorite band.

  • he can kiss me and infect me with his poison anyyyy day hahahaha

  • <3

    

  • This is band is amazing !!!!! I love You alll XD

  • these guys are so talented..a true band and florida is very proud, especially Jax!!

  • Ryan marry me.. im a guy but still

  • This song just makes me want to listen to Ocean Avenue, I think i'm gonna go do that now, bye

  • this is tight

  • you really don't see musicians like ryan key and yellowcard anymore. i swear, i haven't heard one post-hardcore or metalcore musician utter the words "staccato" or "octave" in years. yellowcard is probably the last band around that still remains true to what they do: no autotune, no drum replacements or triggers, just everything recorded as it is, for what it is. I'll always love this band

  • @frenchtoad thats gotta be a joke. right? no drum replacements? you really believe that? hahhah auto tune, yea i think that's possible. ryan key does song in key 99% of the time. but drum replacements? you'd be surprised on how much of that goes on.

  • @thealexandrez the band records everything raw, trust me. i know how much drum replacement is used nowadays. yellowcard are still one of the only "true" bands left

  • Great cover, although my favorite version of this is Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi's dubstep cover.

  • yellowcard version is 100000000000000000000x better than the original!

  • this is awesome

  • i love yellowcard an i like katy perry... but this isn't a good combination ;)

  • @MrsMayFire Agreed. I think Katy Perry would be better doing the vocal back up for Yellowcard songs.

  • Intense kajon-ing

  • the drummer always looks bored lol i think it's just how he always looks lol

  • 0:26 Ryan Reynolds? :)))

  • I almost died after the singer says,"...where a lot of people are doing the same thing and kind of regurgitating the same...cr*p." xD

    So true.

  • Hardcore violin playing over der

  • Ewww katy perry is so disgusting why would Relient K ever like her music!

  • so much fail

  • adorei essa versão, a voz dele fico muito legal, amo yelowcard, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    

  • OMG his voice is just..! it's wonderful *-* love iiiiiit *-*

  • Better than the original because they play actual instruments. and the violin - *_*

  • They still make more money than all of yall. This wasn't bad at all.

  • trash

  • hauahuahuah

  • @weirdo48 dont try ànd copy the top comment lol

  • feeling bad for the violin player, same thing over and over whole song. hes bored lol

  • Seeing Ryan Key without guitars don't seem to make him Ryan Key.

  • This guy's voice fuckin' sucks, YellowCard had Ocean Avenue and that's about it.

  • @go5pt0 take a listen to just about every live performance...very few have great voices. good at best. unfortunately in the music industry, singing ability accounts for about 10% of how one becomes successful

  • @go5pt0

    for a guy who hasnt listen to any of their other song

    you sure have a bold statement dont ya

  • This is an extremely hard song to sing! Im surprised he did this good :) Im glad they are still a band!

  • This is BEAST!

  • <33333333333333333333333333333­33333333333333333333

  • Lol the drummer looks so bored

  • @Kazdal567 They all look kind of bored..

  • @Kazdal567 that's his smiley face. believe me

  • @Kazdal567 i bet he is ;)

  • @Kazdal567 I've seen him live, that's just his expression. For everything o:

  • This is the worst cover I have ever heard.

  • better than the way Katy Perry sings live

  • @ajs11893 no lip sinc, way better

  • Only Sean Mackin can add violin to a Katy Perry song...

  • How bored does LP look?

  • I lov yellowcard but this sucks.

  • lol.how ironic,when yellowcard 1st met katy perry,she jus started her career & now shes so much more famous then em,yellowcard is an awesome band & should b more famous then those autotuned crap!

  • I like the instruments, the music is pretty good. The singer though, he's not into it enough, I just really wish I was where he was standing right now with the music going as it was but with me singing so I could sing it the way I want. I want to sing so bad, and hearing him sing this makes me want to sing even more

  • Dear Ryan, you just blew my mind away :3.

  • the one singing sounds flat. it's just odd to listen to.

  • @akshitpassi1 In Katy Perry's knee..

  • @akshitpassi1 i used to be a replay button, then i took an arrow all over my body.

  • @akshitpassi1 Wow? very nice? joke? where the? hell is my question mark?

  • @yubarajmaharaj LOL Ikr.

  • dislike button should be disable

  • Now who the hell came up with that idea? I'd like to slap that person up'n down.

  • Now that i called a real live sing! Yellowcard all the way!

  • They suck. The end.

  • lol.. to those top commenters, listen to the interview.. real musicians can look past the barriers of genre or whatever pathetic grudges you hold against pop music and see the incredible work and artistry behind the song.

    These guys appreciate the machine Dr Luke is and the monsters he has created.

  • @CamNacson A: who the hell is Dr Luke

    B: i dont mind pop

    C: the the original song sucks

    D: most "musicians" that pop out of nowhere anymore dont play real, non-modified instruments

    E: please explain to me the "artistry" of the original version of this song because i see none

  • @lyokowarior4 ... here we go. There's really no point arguing with you as history, fact and future will prove me right..

    A: He wrote pretty much every #1 pop hit for the last 5 years, the lead singer mentions him in the video.

    B: Good

    C: Sorry, what position did it hit on how many charts around the world?

    D: The front people, no. But they put in the work to prove to the amazing musicians who write everything that its worth having their name on it.

    E: See A and C.

  • @CamNacson A: good for him, still never heard of him

    B: no comment sicne we can agree on one thing

    C: my view point on music is that it must have a real instrument. i dont hear real instruments in the original so i dont give a crap how many significant achievements the song gets.

    D: its not the point. music used to be made primarily from actual instruments. until i hear them, the "song" is useless sound to me

    E. look at my A and C

  • @lyokowarior4 Don't get me wrong. I wish the general public were into different music. I write waay different music to these guys. But the fact is that people like Dr Luke, Steph Germanotta, David Guetta and all the others are adapting to change they're creating something new and amazing from simplicity and whacking in some slyly incredible musicianship.

    Honestly,it's incredibly hard to write great pop music without sounding ridiculous.

    Trust me I've tried.

  • @CamNacson i really wish people listened to what real music was. bands like yellowcard, rise against, and other bands that had a real unique message in their music. songs today that people (i am going off kids in my high school) only listen to rap and hip-hop where the primary meaning of the song is either sex, alcohol, drugs, and killing people. im sick of it and i want real music to come back. im not saying they are talentless, just that there is no noticable point to the song

  • @lyokowarior4 couldn't agree more

  • @lyokowarior4 have you ever gone drinking? partying hard? I'm gonna guess not. Cuz when I'm partying with my friends, I dont wanna hear a song that has some deep meaning, thats a buzz kill. Trust me, I love songs with meanings just as much as you, just...not when I'm partying. There is a point to to "pointless songs" is what I'm trying to get at. There are some times theyre better to listen to than a song with some deep complex emotional side and meaning. Thats why clubs love em

  • @YinMajora have havent gone drinking since im under age and the closest i came to partying hard was homecoming which was boring as hell cause it was crap music like that.

  • lil wayne on the canis

  • well this is awkward....

  • what... the fuck?

  • Nice that they covered this song but I'd say the original is better

  • As a yellowcard fan for a long time, I'm embarrassed that they sung this.

  • @1michfan Then you are not a real Yellowcard fan

  • @SeedKnightSiefer I've been listening to Yellowcard for 6 years now and I have all their albums but somehow I am not a fan? It's nothing against Yellowcard, I just feel like this is a step down from their usual awesome work. This song wasn't written by Yellowcard but instead some untalented pop star. I want to hear more of Yellowcards awesome lyrics and sweet guitars. I mean just listen to the electric violin on this song; one note? really?

  • @1michfan WTF? You are here the only step down...

  • horrible

  • Comment removed

  • Aww sean haha...I feel your pain man!!

  • Guy doesn't know how to pronounce "transcendental". haha

  • Haha what's up with the lead singers hair?

  • We cover this song, but we do a Hard Rock version of it. We are playing it LIVE tomorrow night at Hard Rock Hollywood on Hollywood Blvd. @ 11:00pm!

  • I like this. You can actually understand the lyrics as opposed to the Katy Perry version. I still love her version but you can't hear the words this good.

  • o.O

  • The drummer looks awfully bored. lol

  • can anyone tell me what jacket he's wearing?

  • Seans three notes plainly are a challenge for him...

  • i like the violin incorporated with this cover. :)

  • It's not bad, but Katy's sounds better. He sounds more like he's saying it than singing it

  • 2:48...jizz in my pants

  • This is interesting...I friggin hate Katy Perry as much as the next person but I think her vocal performance is definitely superior. could of course just be over processed. Thought I was going to enjoy this more than I did

  • I effin love the way he says Infect... :D

  • @Ferretess gay

  • @jtnhl11 did you really go to a video I commented on just to say that?!

  • supernatural ---------- i taught they were the original artist behind the song e.t lol when i searched e.t. boom e.t. by yellowcard i was right

  • you're from a hoooooool nother world

  • whats that box thing!!!??? 

  • @defmouse14 cajon drum

  • they are still around? damnn lol

  • @americaHUMVEES not to mention that his violin part is insanely repetitive

  • Sooooo much better than the original! And I'm proud to say that the first time I heard Katy Perry's version was in this video at the end

  • you know, the singer looks a bit like Tom Felton...

  • @agapplesauce he does! <3

  • Sounds a billion times better than Katy Perry's version =p

  • I actually find this cover better than the original version. Everything sounds magical

  • every move is magic!

  • Guitarist to the left looks like Ryan Reynold's shorter, less attractive older brother.

  • aaaannnnnddddd .... ORGASM!!!!!!! <3

  • pause at 2;40 lol

  • they opened for Simple Plan, hahaha but tough.. Yellowcard is the real typical band

  • @CommanderMeaty really?when?

  • Great, great and great!

  • eargasm :3

  • Fucking keyboard GRRRR!

  • Ha! I wasn't even aware of a band called Yellowcard until I was shit face drunk playing Burnout 3 Takedown. Iheard thei sing "Breathing" and thought (aka Cartman) SWEEEEEEEET! 8D

  • aha Sean must be pissed off, having to do that violin for the whole song while LP just sits on a box and taps on it every now and then

  • I didn't even know Yellowcard was still around.

  • lmfao more then half the comments about 0:59 violinist face XD

  • 0:59 OMG face

  • Yellowcard can turn any song into a good song! Better than the original!

  • EPIC!

  • sean (the violinist) is probably thinking, "all those years of learning how to be a bad ass punk rock violinist just to perform this crappy song. we might be amazing but we cant turn this shit into even a half decent song"

  • @lyokowarior4 yeah Sean and LP haha

  • @lyokowarior4 lol,they WISH they had a song like that..

  • @byLivio have you even heard half of their songs? they use REAL instruments, making it a REAL song. (in my description of music atleast) unless someone can prove to me that this song is originally played with real instruments, then your comment is no longer valid

  • @lyokowarior4 pwned =)

  • @XxProducitonsxX what are you even talking about? im the one saying the crap being made now is a disgrace to music (songs by katy perry, lady gaga, justin bieber, ect.) even a band as talented as yellowcard cant make this crap into a good song. sure its better than the original, but you dont hear any feeling or life behind Ryan's voice. you cant say anything about katy's voice cause you cant hear past the autotuning

  • @lyokowarior4 I was agreeing with you in ur response,to CamNacson.....I agree with everything you just said lol

  • @lyokowarior4 If they can't do it, so they suck. Because "All American Rejects" toke a Bitchney Spears song and turn it into a bad ass pirate song!!!

  • @drigoferreirasousa that comment had no relevance... it has nothing to do with this video let alone my comment... plus it dosent even make any sence

  • Comment removed

  • 1:00 "gosh i hate this song..."

  • This is... amazing... oh my... I cannot even see how there are so many dislikes. I am greatly impressed.

  • Sean : "Do we REALLY have to play this song guys?" 0:58

  • Comment removed

  • most flat singing of all time

  • i love Yellowcard. they're inspiration to me. :)

    p.s. this cover is really good. i love how Longineu plays the drums on this version. so sick. haha.

  • fucking love these guys !

  • This turned out better than I thought it would. Haha

  • good to see Ryan Key, the violinist and the drummer are still working together :)

  • Longineu hitting the drums hard.

  • Work that box, black man.

  • @TheJoedarthvayda Does it honestly matter if he is black? Damn.

  • im so glad the cajon is being introduced to the mainstream acoustic world :)

  • Comment removed

  • wow hes a great singer :)

  • Their cover of "High and Dry" on Aol Sessions like a million years ago got me into Radiohead. Love these guys.

  • the drummer looks so bored. He's just kinda staring off into space the whole time. Great cover though.

  • @ttrboy182 coz itz easy to play.. right? hehe he's so bored playing this song

  • Dude's box drumming LIKE A BAWS!

  • Song is good at 2:00. Maybe its 'cos his vocal chords were warming up or something.

    /watch?v=PyEL8Mvz4Rk

    Katy Perry was backing Yellowcard before she was big. Not saying one is better than the other but there isn't a point in hating (no matter if its Katy Perry, Bieber or any other artists). To each their own. Hating will only make you lose out.

  • as they played the song they gained all its rights!! katy perry was powerless against Yellowcard!!!!

  • i had to bite down a fangirl scream in case my parents heard me.

  • @azurexcannon lol me too. In my case, my roommate.

  • @heelrunner lol it's yellowcard...how could anyone not want to fangirl? XD
