[blarsky]

singer seemed not fit for the piece



[blarsky]

It's quite a complicated piece and the singer seems not really fit to sing this stuff. Cant bluff the old folks, hats off to the bassman. 

[kendematk]

Great band i think they could have used a better singer. If i rated this song i would give the band a 85 and the singer 40.

[progbass56]

Great Job Guys!

I'm 55 now and been listening to GFR since early '72, Mel is the reason I play Bass. You guys did great! When was this recorded and how old were you all at that time?

[readyeddy101]

Excellent cover !! Great classic rock tune and you guys did a great job on it...

[vinnynumbnuts]

vinny's back to listen to you guys. the whole lot of you are a magical treat. you are young but you really know good music when you hear it, in face of the fact of it being before your time. you are the vanguard to good music, whether it be in the present of of the past. got a beer in my hand and cheers to all of you. rock on!

[ynaz]

[cabmandu]

very good job.



[TheAuroraBlack]

Great cover!!!! And I've been listening to this song for decades! When I accidentally came across this, i was so prepared to jump all in your case, but, oh, thank you so much! You're keeping the song alive because you're so damn good! Love to hear some other stuff....

[az777641b]

From a 52 year old who saw them live back in the day, simply fantastic !!!!

[lefrauens]

Great work guys!

[evillynn417]

If you're going to copy a song, do it right YOU GUYS GOT IT RIGHT AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERFECT !!!

[vinnynumbnuts]

this vid gives me so many good feelings. almost 50 now, but watching you young fellows here takes me back to my basement band days as a teen. the best days. this song is among the creme de la creme of rock n roll.

[utley11]

amazing , keep it up . big time is in your future

[jarbarkas]

this is awesome man.. if there was a band like yours at coffee houses when i was growing up i might've discovered what good music is a lot sooner. this sounds almost like the original!!!

[Jellogel]

Nice job, you got the right feel

[vinnynumbnuts]

i played in a basement band, etc. when i was a teen. absolute magic. now i'm an old fart, but listening to you guys helps keep me a bit younger. great vid.

[mrhippy26]

nice job guys! good vocals

[beatlemania54]

Great take on a classic song guys!!! I'm also a drummer and your drummer did one heck of job!! All of you are very Good!!

[uumarrr]

[almans0]

[VLombardi01]

Nice job on the vocals!

[videomix22]

You guys Rock! Mark Farner would love this.

[eliasvigil]

Crap!

[wldlndfyrfytr]

Wow, can you guys even drive yet? Believe me, that's not a put down. Keep rockin' guys, so young with so much talent. Stay hungry!

[sainthockey20]

NICE JOB!!

[NotSoUniversal]

nice

[Armistace]

The singers great, the bassist is also pretty sweet.

The guitar needs some tightening up, but it works.

Im a drummer myself, and it would take a long time to say everything that was wrong with the drums....

[w8gfx]

Pass on the legacy guys! Let the whole world know OLD MUSIC REALLY ROCKS!!!

[peacelover60]

You guys Rock! Oldtimers like me need kids like you to carry on the true rock and roll. Thanks!

[fragraf]

Hey you guys rock. You guys got soul, and the guy that wrote the tune would like the way you have done it up

[NaturallyNutritous07]

mad props for this

[MarkCox73]

Nice cover. Good bass player for a kid!

[ugmodude]

shine on you crazy diamonds...

[Bluebarb1]

Wooo!

[nergvol]

They are not a garage band but a basement band, and a good one at that!

[SKORDY52]

old guy says " good taste, good job"

[nergvol]

Your taste in music is primal and degenerate and makes eardrums hurt, I have same taste also Nergy

[ImanVideos]

Really nice-bravo, all

[BornInTheWrongYear]

Bravo guys. Sounds good, excellent choice of song to cover.

[nubole]

Good Job guys....one of my fovorite songs..woww...School time 38 years a go...!...Clap clap !

[MurdertheDawn]

This is awesome! The bass player has the perfect tone and the singer does an amazing job at sounding like Mark Farner. Jood job!

[MurdertheDawn]

*Good

[babymaker13th]

hey guys love the clip and it did bring back momories but i think i can sing a little better than that but a great efort for sure verrywell done ,

[vidmachine07]

that is cool. There are tons of great classic rock songs like this that you all can do. Don't forget to throw in some other great bands like STP, Pearl Jam, or some of those great one hit wonders of the nineties.

[FernAveEnt]

good job fellahs. thumbs up!

[vinnynumbnuts]

Love you guys. Back for more. Magic. I played in a basement band when I was in my teens. You bring it all back. Wish I could go back in time..

[47tooter]

that was good, do inside looking out.

[gullwing14]

lol the drummer actually looks like don brewer and the singer like Mark Farner!!! Great cover!!!!!!

[fieldbuilder]

I agree with CatfishCounts, it is good to see the young dudes playing classics like this instead of following trends and playing that fruity "American Idol" style bullshit. Keep rockin' dudes. You sound great!!!

[ibmark2u2]

These guys are great! They remind me of the band I was with back in 1971 in Lincoln Park, Michigan. People demanded that we play this song where ever we were booked at. Good job!!

[Undieskidder]

The drummer has Don Brewer's hair and lead vocal has Mark's....lol. Good cover guys. GFR was always my favorite back in the day. I'm 49 now and still rockin'. Y'all are great!!

[blabblab1212]

The only thing that would have made this better is if Mom had come in during the middle of the song and asked everybody if they would like some orange juice!!!!!!!

[riptide76]

That's hilarious (and exactly what usually happens).

[CatfishCounts]

Great to see some young cats performing such awesome classics. Sounds great guys! Dig the DSOTM shirt on the bass player.

[fredericomagal]

great cover guys... brasilian congratulations!

[G2034]

NIce Job Guys! Keep it up!!!!

[ellia61]

Bravi ragazzi, i GFR sono sempre i migliori!!!! Continuate così cazzo!

[Leighbo1]

Rock on dudes! All did a good job, but special props to the bass player.

[jimmyp73]

great, more kids should play music like this instead of that metal ang punk shit

[abzd555]

really refreshing to see young people going back to the source instead of trying to mimick all of the dime-o-dozen crap that passes for music today.

[tom55till]

I loved it. Great job.!! They have some great music. Survival, great album...!!

[ChristopherHinves]

well done boys!

[kattalbright]

[dimeiy]

Long live the "basement band!!!".....excellent effort....keep striving ....you guys will get tighter and tighter the longer you keep at it....good luck fellows!

[lockupfags]

Hahh, Good Job... I wasn't expecting that!

[guilhermepfd]

Need more feeling...

[kyuss4me]

Wow, that bass sounds solid down there in the basement...or should I say bass-ment?

[ejlister]

Sounds great... just missing the background vocals!

[kellythesinger]

Keep the Faith Little Brothers....Rock and Roll is

more than music ....it is Strength in Unity and the backbone of Working Class America.

[chessdude67]

Very Cool! Great job! :-) Let's hear some more GFR!!!!

[cusick6364]

You Guys sound great!!! Keep up the good work..That guitar player reminds me alot of myself when I was young.You guys have a great sound and look,keep the music alive!!! Stay true to your self and the music and you'll be fine.Keep on rockin!! Hope to see you on here alot more.Thanks for the video

[LanceVsWild]

[blondie49x]

Just great guys... sound awesome!

[bigrpb]

Nice job guys! It's great to see young guys playing a true classic! Keep rockin'!!!

[bassplayer4445]

Reminds me when I was young. From an old musican to you young musicans you guys sound very good, stick together, don't let chicks get in the way of your music, don't let silly fights turn into long time hate, and work TOGETHER and maybe just maybe if the right person see you, you might make it. And beware of the ones who will ask you for a s**t load of money to help you. Good luck guys.

[jms444]

very impressive!

[leeble611]

0______0 badasssssasasasass

[danielraysmithil]

Really really fine effort! Clean, tight, clear and filled with passion. Keep up the fantastic work guys! Jolly good show. It takes team work. Do a re-union tour.

[thebansheeman]

OoooKkkkkk way to go guys! very nice, very very nice.

[TBplayer12]

great job! not a simple song to cover .Glad to see your generation is not lost musicaly!!

[71MARTIND28]

Solid! Hope you guys stuck together.

I really dug the harmonics part on the guitar! Nice improvisation!

[gunsass]

thanks a lot

But we didnt stick together unfortunately lol

[BobbieJeanS]

I hope you are continuing this effort. I am a huge fan of

Grand Funk...and I am wishing you will continue.

[themofc]

SOLID fellas. stay with it and y'all will be great in no time. Playing true to the original is right on. Check out WE'RE AN AMERICAN BAND by THE PSYCHEDELIC JUKEBOX. That's us doing a cover the way it's supposed to be done. Y'all did great!!!!

[rdstar17]

1973 marked a time that Grand Funk was premier and this song was their high-flying jolly roger flag! Mark Farner would be proud, fellas. Right On and Rock Out!

[shaggydowah]

Grand Funk Rail Road- I'm Your Captain., A new batch of young captain`s. I`m getting on the boat with you because you are great and the song is worth cruising to ! signed a freak from the past.

[1flh81]

this is GREAT!!!!

[VioletClub]

One of the greatest rock songs ever.

[tertommy]

I've noticed a LOT of young teens really into music of 80's and 70's and having no taste for corporate rap hip hop etc. Of course the clueless media has not gotten hip to this yet so..Rock On Guys.

[vinnynumbnuts]

I'm fascinated by your nonchalance with regard to half of the band being seated in the beginning. Unusual. "I gotta be me!" is the way I see it.

[vinnynumbnuts]

Back again to hear you young fellers. Sittin' here enjoying your playin. Brings me back to the days when i was young and playin' in a band like yours. The best!

[pmumola]

Great Job! Being a Grand Funk freak from the 70s, It's great to see you young guys covering them. Keep up the dream and never give up such a great gift that God has given to you. Bravo!! PJ. from NY.

[mwp62]

Hey Mark are ya out there, what do you think?

[Lagomort]

Not bad at all. The singers wasn't always following the melody line, but he still is not a bad singer at all...

The guitar bass and drums was right on...

[Doublewidejt]

Great, not good, great job guys!!!

[MattHatter]

This was put on here back in Oct. '06, hard to believe it's already over two years old! What is the band up to now?

[buttsecksORLY]

Sounds great! I just started a band myself and I love covering awesome classic rock songs like this!

[TL160]

great job guys sounds good i like the way the the bass sounds

[bahashawa]

An absolutely great cover of a great song.

[brainards1]

Sorry...I meant to say band...

[brainards1]

The real bad is smiling from above...great work guys!

[kcuhcsniknej]

kick ass! quite impressive

[TerryKathLives]

Nice! First comes Youtube fame. Next you are auditioning for Simon, Randy and Paula.

[hibby50]

WOW! this is very good! especially in the garage!

[wsoxman]

Pretty damn good playing in a garage with no studio mixers to balance the tracks.

[busterbone]

You guys would be great playing some classic "Deep Purple" or "Black Sabbath" tunes too.

[joere444]

ya know the funny thing is that the drummer in this band and the drummer in grand funk railroad both have afros! (LOL)

[joere444]

Their bass player prtty damn good holla to ya bass player! and the band aint half bad as a whole the singer sounds older than what he probably is well atleast they dont suck theyre good enough to go out and ply bars so ya know at least some one cut all the guitar hero bull shit! How many times do I gotta tell people guitar hero aint a real guiar well at least these guysd cut that bull shit way to go!

[titocrazy25]

Wow!You've got something in there!! It's not that easy to play Grand Funk Railroad like that! Congratulations!

[jer19541]

damn good whats the bands name?

[Dontbustthecrust]

shit kids you guys are a pretty tight foursome. You should let me come over and play the strings part on my keyboards. God fucking job.

[ultrakool]

Very tight. Bass player is good.

[ibanez065]

Sorry I have to be the old geezer here. And thank those young boys for keeping that old stuff alive. Dudes voice is changing, and the bass player is younger than the strings on his guitar! KEEP PLUGGING AWAY BOYS!!! And thanks again!!!

[chillersan]

This was the first song I tried to play out with a band with.. the singer choked and I ended up singing as well as playing in front of 100 boyscouts at a church service! I was 11years old!! That was 1971!!

[Shinnyuu2]

i'm sorry i have to be the nice person and say i do like the vocals alot

i think you really understand the song ...singing with alot of soul

not alot of people can do that

good job

[MichaelRay1980]

Sorry, I have to be a critic. I think the band rocks ass and almost nailed every bit of it on the head, but I dont really care for the lyricist at all. Is he capable of playing any instruments, the rest of ya'll are very talented, but don't care for the vocalist. Love your taste in old school tunes.

[badthinque]

You guys are a frikin' natural.

Be humble, stay focused and do well.

So far, so GREAT.

[capitan55]

exelente , muy bien boys, saludos desde MEXICO, VERY GOOD

[misterroastbeef]

nice job everyone. im watching this video for the first time and im wearing the exact same shirt as the bass player. WEIRD!

[elgordostudios]

way to go, young fellers. I listened to GFR lost when I was 12 but no drum kit to jam with. Good on ya.

[seekanddestroy09]

excellent job on a really classic tune

[En0ErUP]

best cover i ever seen,,singer needs more soul.

[elevatorsfan]

Great job guys!

[mattyp3400]

really really good thumbs up class job

[JuxboxBob]

wow for your age awesome. Awesome if you guys were old even.
