The guitarist doesn't know to strum ska and he is playing wrong and open chords, thats not ska. Plus, he is behaves like he's playing thrash metal, not ska :)
The grotesque-ness of the singers looks/voice just gave me an aneurysm. I think... I'm dead now. You've killed me with your meer presence. Now my god damn cat is homeless. I hope you're happy.
vocals were actually not as bad as people are making them seem, you can tell its a bad system. That being said, i don't think your voices fits the ska sound (its a very unique singing voice) notice how this is real constructive criticism, not being an asshole then passing it off as constructive. The guitarist needs to learn syncopation, it's a wonderful thing.
Being a drummer i can say with confidence, nice job man, not a wicked hard (nor terribly easy) part, you kept good time. 2/5 stars
I think its a real good job the band itself was good and the horn section was good, but the singing lacked alittle but for a talent show band Ill give you a 4 out of 5
been a while since ive check out our video mike. yes people, we know we arnt expert players. mike, take the criticism for what it is. some of these people are pretty accurate on the sound....and others are being complete douche bags. there are plenty of things that could of been better but for those critics, keep in mind this is low level equipment, especially the speaker for the vocals and the recording device. but hey looking back, still one of the best nights of my senior year.
Could you be any less open to constructive criticism? I mean sure some people are making some immature responses to your video, but you don't have to respond back with some childish insult. The only way you can improve as a musician is if you listen to others criticism (as painful as it can be at first). Personally I think that this wasn't totally dreadful, there is definitely worse out there. I gave it 2/5 stars.
You lucky you had a good drummer and guitarist behind you who knew the song, because the rest of you didn't have a clue.
i wouldn't say you was bad i think you should have practised a little more together and jelled like a band, after all you are only young and it was for fun, good luck in the future with your band..
i was being nice but you want my honest opinion you fucking suck and i feel fucking embarrassed if i was you uploading this piece of shit on to the internet .
Not the worst "The Impression That I Get" cover I've seen, but could use some work. A for effort and intent, C- for execution.
Insert "YOU DON'T HAVE MUSIC UP SO YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CRITICIZE" comment after this, etc. Whatever; god forbid someone have an opinion that differs from your parents saying you're the best at everything you do.
lol i don't think i have ever said that sooo, I'm not going to start start here. you might wanna try sticking to just your opinion tho, instead of trying to sound like you know what every youtuber-er says.
It's interesting that you assume that was directed at you. No, *you* haven't said that. Others, even on this very video!, have.
It is also a pretty common response to criticism, the "put up or shut up" defense, which is pretty stupid, all things considered. Brendan Kelly wrote a pretty good blog entry about it.
well with you saying "Whatever; god forbid someone have an opinion that differs from your parents saying you're the best at everything you do." It seems pretty directed at me.
If it did seem that way, I didn't mean it to. It was meant to be a general, if exasperated, response to the trend on the Internet of people to get worked up over criticism/critiques, instead of listening to legit issues with a work.
well you probably dont actually know me but i know the person on the drums i think that is alex keyes and chris lodge on trumpet and ive met the guy on guitar that has the bubble that says wtf no vocals i dont know his name
Even the singing, it looks like the shes going threw a little 10in PA which you can hear topping out quite a lot. If there was a better system she could have ran her voice threw it wouldn't have sounded so ear pinching at points. O, and "bosstones101" grow the fuck up.
ty, for showing some true understanding. we did have a better pa but we couldnt use it cause its the schools and they dont like running bands through it.
You know, for all the shit everyone has been giving this video, it really isn't that bad. The only thing really that was slightly wrong was the guitarist and even then he recovered from his mistakes, and for the upstrokes, you can get over it. I have been in the field for on stage audio managing for over 10 years and this would sound hella better if the horns and drums were properly mic'd.

just saying, maybe you kiddies should spend more time practicing english as compared to fucking up epic songs, i never came on here and claimed to be a music god (although i seem like it by comparison) i challenge you to find a single musical mistake in my 5 videos posted. go for it, dont tell me our covers arent spot on because they are
again its the internet. short hand is meant to be here. we didnt fuck up. since u didnt listen to it that last time let me say again, ITS A LOW QUALITY RECORDING. it doesnt come close to representing how good we actually do sound. i never said u were music god, with good reason. and i did find a musical mistake with ur songs and thats everything. they suck. and maybe thats why no one listens to them. clearly we've caught more viewers attentions than what most of your videos combined have.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
clearly, find one person that responded that said this video is good and isnt from your high school also this would only be a good cover if you all; a: were deaf b: had never heard the song before c: didnt know how to play/sing d: were mentally retarded *ring*ring* ...hello... ...yeah hi.... ...ok, ill tell them.... Hey, Dicky Barrett, Neville Staple, and Derrick Morgan just called, you all have been fired from ska
You guys get an A for effort. But it wouldn't hurt to take a little criticism because the guitar is a little off from the beat. For some reason it just doesnt sound quite right. And for those saying this is a great song everybody knows this is quite possibly the most hated bosstones song. 8-)
Excuse me, but the last time i checked you are no instrumental genius, and i am pretty sure thay have been getting more views than your videos; so they must be doing something right. Don't you have something better to do than bash on high school students or are you that pathetic
judging by your name, i can see ur a fan of the mighty mighty bostones, however u have no right to criticize. this isnt exactly Hollywood recording equipment so its not that good of quality. regardless of that it still sounds good. they are the right cords with the exception of a mistake and its on beat. ive been playing for ten years so dont even try and tell me it sucks cause ur just talking shit. also, ive checked ur stuff out. and u think we are bad? keep dreaming that u were the bostones
first off this AIN'T english class its the internet. so get over urself. second, we've played the song alongside the original by the BOSSTONES (its called a typo. cry me a frigin river) and the cords match exactly. just cause all you do is dream about the bosstones all day doesnt mean that we suck just cause we did our own version of one of there songs. last, recording equipment has everything to do with identifying whether or not a band can play. if the mic picks up bad, then it will sound bad.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you made the same typo twice? i think you are just retarded because you AGAIN spelled "chords" wrong. and a bad mic wont change that B chord to whatever the fuck emo boy turns it into, or down to an epbeat, stick to what you know, PANTS MUSIC
wow, do you also make grammatical typos? "their" not "there"
what are u 12? basicly ur arguing about my english cause u no ur argument is bull shit and anyone who has any musical talent would no that. this is played exactly how its supposed to be. there are mistakes that we made, but we know how to play so why dont u go grow up.
if you're going to talk shit about people's music, how about having videos that can back up your fucking argument? do you feel special calling yourself bosstones101, swamp donkey?
ill just take your comment out on your mom tell her I said hi lol

guitar- most (or all) of your band knows your playing it wrong, but it'll come :)
bass- playing was really well done! but your amp sounds.. well, terrible
drums- you were the best part of it all, with better musicians, you would sound pro
horns- great job! tone is tough on brass instruments, well done!
vocals- what you lack in pitch, you make up for in enthusiasm! really,
overall- people want a good show, they can listen to the CD at home, and you delivered!
