  • @FreshMats Look for the Quest For Power trailer on IGN.

  • This song is in Infamous 2 ?

  • @MrRastafari25 it was on one of the trailers

  • @Jockada Ok thanks

  • I've heard this for many years, I think I actually has it on cassette. it is my ab fab version of this song.

  • pure awesomeness

  • Damn, this game has some awesome songs...

  • so epic!

  • Comment removed

  • there s allways 5 idiots who dislikes the song...

  • His voice was made for this song!

  • una cancion digna de inFAMOUS2

    te queremos cole

  • only if infamous 2 had an epic cutscene with this as the soundtrack

  • Everybody should listen to the cover by Jimmy Wong if you like this. It's great. Just search Jimmy Wong Rising Sun. Thumb this up so people can see.

  • @cobyyollis This.

  • @XNinjaVampireX What do you mean by "This."?

  • InFamous 2 had one of the best video game endings ever. Especialy the "good ending".

  • Thanks, I didn't think I'd ever find this!

  • man even with the funny picture i still cry

  • HOW THE HELL IS THIS GUY WHITE???

  • @CaptainMorganThe3rd Genetics

  • @CaptainMorganThe3rd u have a point there.......a point.......

  • Where can I get this song? It's not on iTunes or anywhere!

  • @TheIngloriousFiction it is on itunes

  • @TheIngloriousFiction actually it is just search Buster Poindexter in the store and his album that is shown in this vid. is there press it and house of the rising sun is there for 0.99 $ i think its the price

  • @TheIngloriousFiction Seriously, are you lazy or a liar seeking attention. If you put Buster Poindexter on the search, it's the first thing you see.

  • @rickynator3000 does it take place in new orleans or a city based on new orleans

  • @cjcool91 gotta a ps3 friend me at chux1e11

  • Disliker 4: Sasha

  • Static Shock disliked this

  • I can tell the future- The future dislikers will be.....Betrand and Sasha!

  • Where do i get this??? its the only version I've heard that's not in iTunes and its the only one I want.

  • Simply Amazing, I usually prefer always the original in covers (The Animals)

    But in this case, I surely prefer this one

  • @SuperBulletFMV

    The Animals covered this song. They dont know who wrote this song. Its actually pretty old. So the song does not belong to the Animals.

  • @SuperBulletFMV No one knows who originally wrote this song, being an old folk song, so technically all versions of the song are covers.

  • @SuperBulletFMV same

  • @SuperBulletFMV FYI even the Animals version was a cover. This is an old folk song, no single person or group wrote it, it's just been sung and passed down through the generations.

  • @needamuffin that doesn't really mean that it doesn't have a single author. It's just unknown who really wrote it. Very likely it was changed and contributed to as it was passed down but who knows?

  • @LycanOfDarkness You're right, we don't know who actually wrote it. But we can be sure that it isn't the Animals, which was my point.

    Didn't Dylan record it before the Animals anyways?

  • @needamuffin Dylan was 1961, Animals 1964, but I think all the versions are spectacular in their own way, and none should have precedence over others even based on which was recorded first so I'm going to hit the replay button yet again

  • @SuperBulletFMV The funny thing is, The Animals version isn't the original.

    In fact, you would probably have trouble finding out what the original really was.

  • @UncomfortableSilence well I've atleast heard that it was originally written by an actual prostitute a long time ago, like 100 years or more :/ I mean I'm probably way off with this but still, no known musician is probably not behind it :P

  • @SuperBulletFMV The original was madein the 1500s; The Animal's cover just popularized it for the current generation. The oldest known recording is by Texas Alexander, made in 1927 (maybe '28). I think I can find a link.

    /watch?v=HlLkuEpWsxs

    But I agree, this is one of the best.

  • @SuperBulletFMV The Animals didn't do the original, no one actually knows who did, its been covered so many times. The Animals just made the most popular one and as a result it's become synonymous with them.

  • Disliker 3: The Beast lol

  • Good version!

  • i like, but i also like original more...

  • FUCKING EPIC!

  • Disliker 3: Me...

    Sorry, wrong button... :(

  • Comment removed

  • @frynaut No, it was Bertrand ;D

  • @frynaut

    For the crimes you have commited, 8 months of community service and no PS3 and banned to purchase the inFAMOUS franchise.

  • @WhiteAsWhipCream

    Leadbelly did a version of this song, and I'm pretty sure he came way before The Doors, as awesome as they are

  • This is one of those songs almost no one knows who originally wrote it.

    Same with Black Betty, guess... right? xD

  • no the originals was the Doors

  • @TheJeffreyShowFilms no they didnt they just made the song famous this song is a folk tale

  • Comment removed

  • just a few more hours!!!

    inFAMOUS 2 FINALLY!!!

  • If there's a 4th dislike, I'll assume it's Gamespot.

  • @Tryagainlater Gamespot are clearly hating whores. They gave this game a low rating, damn queers.

  • Disliker 1 : Kessler

    Disliker 2 : Alden

    Disliker 3 : The Beast

  • Lyrics plz

  • HOLY SHIT THAT GUY IS WHITE!?!!?

  • Very nice version!

  • :O only 3 dislikers? wow infamous 2 sales look good ;)

  • I have already listen to at least 9 different versions of the song and this one fucking kicks ass!

  • THANK YOU!! I like this song, but with this guy from the trailer, it's AMAZING!

  • No offense but this one sounds alot better then the Old version...In my opinion anyways

  • Playing this off the album as we speak. This and Hot Hot Hot are übergute.

  • T-T i always think of the 3os when i hear this song. i think of all the corruption and decay of the 30s and all the crime as well. WTF enough said

  • wat a song best version cause of the voice

  • Just Beautiful

  • 2 Justin Bieber fans were here

  • Omg I love the trumpet solo

  • My grandpa used to play this on guitar a long time ago before he died..... now i will learn it for him.

  • disliker 1: justin biber

    disliker 2: justin bibers secound account

  • this is missing the words "there is" in the beginning

  • @ArmourExe What are you talking about? They're right there.

  • @dinchman it starts of "There is a house in New Orleans" this file here starts of "A house in New Orleans"

  • @ArmourExe No it doesn't. I can clearly here the words "there is".

    What browser are you using?

  • @dinchman oh shit my bad!!! i can hear it now i think the audio was clipped or somesht. Sorry for the trouble.=]

  • this version is the best!

  • Disliker 1: Kessler

    Disliker 2: Alden

    The Likers: Proper gaming and music fans.

  • @Rutgerman95 Actually, kessler would like it, I'd replace Kessler with Bernard

  • @Rutgerman95 Except Kessler is actually a good guy, in a sense anyways.

  • @Rutgerman95 but kessler wasnt the bad guy he wanted nothing more than to make cole stronger

  • @Rutgerman95 Disliker 3: Sasha

  • @ShinySilverBullet i agree with this

  • @Rutgerman95 New disliker. It's The Beast

  • @Rutgerman95 UPDATE: Disliker 3: the Beast

  • @Rutgerman95 someone else disliked add Sasha to that list

  • @Rutgerman95 Disliker 3: bertrand

  • @Rutgerman95 Disliker 3: Bertrand

  • @Rutgerman95 disliker 3: The beast

  • @Rutgerman95 dislike 3 sasha.

  • @Rutgerman95 wait, isnt kessler cole?and if you havent finished the game, sorry for the spoiler.

  • @dilsacka Yes. Kessler is an older (seemingly quite older) version of Cole, himself in the Future. My theory is that Evil Cole at the end of Infamous 2 is Kessler, after the grief of being the Beast, and destroying and killing so many (the same feeling The beast in Infamous 2 got), he went back in time(How Infamous 1 started) to stop Cole from becoming the beast.

  • @dilsacka OMG YOU SPOILED IT YOU BASTRD!!!!!

    Lol, just kidding. But since Kessler got his ass handed to him by his younger and less experienced self, I say it was kessler and now bertrand and the beast (still haven't played 2 :( )

  • @Rutgerman95 i havnt played the 2nd one yet ethir but looking foward to it :3

  • @Rutgerman95 no your wrong cole becomes the beast

  • so he sings gay crap like hot hot hot with this voice.....what a waste he should sing like this more often

  • @cjcool91 David Johansen and his voice are responsible for lots of great and varied music, from The New York Dolls to his Harry Smiths group. Check them out.

  • dude buster poindexter is fucking mick jagger, its his alter ego he made up. fun fact, he also did hot hot hot

  • i though he was black and im black lol he got that soul

  • Was that @ nediscary... new you tube systme hurts my brain. Any who. I'm white and I tought that was funny. YES ONE STEP CLOSER TO WORDL PEACE!!!

  • @dr00lmonkey since I am white, if I say that I agree with you, am I racist?

  • @Imasergeant No, not really. I mean, it's not negative. Besides, that not what being racist is. Being racist is like segregating schools or making minorities sit in the back. If you were being negative, it would be being prejudiced.

  • @MightyJackHammer I thank you sir, since this day and age has become super politically correct, and names change from black to african american to of African descent, I get a bit confused.

  • @dr00lmonkey I thought he was black too, im white. lol but its still a great song right?

  • @WarriorsWriter79 yea your right its still a great song

  • @dr00lmonkey Not going to lie... I thought the same exact thing lol

    This is a great song and he sang it very well!

  • @dr00lmonkey lol i thought he was black too.

  • @dr00lmonkey thats how rock n roll was stolen. lol

  • @winkledorf17 the other version is by the animals not the doors, dude

  • I like bob dylans better

  • This guys voice is fucking amazing!

  • God damn he can throw down.

  • Holy shit he isnt black???? This is the best version of the song I've ever heard

  • YES! Been looking for this music for ages and found it! This version of the song is AWESOME!

  • omg can someone send me this song please?!

  • @KaylaBaylaBush your... your watching it right now.

  • Przesłuchałem wiele wersji "House of the rising sun" i ta jest najlepsza z nich wszystkich:)

  • Most indie and unknown version of this song.....and my favourite.  :)

  • thanks so much man been lookin for this

  • And you dislike this song because?

  • i thought it was an old white guy who sang this version LOL

  • @SIGAMAW it is haha buster poindexter is an alter ego of david johansen from the new york dolls and hes like 60 now

  • not to do what i have done?... you mean star in that terrible "Where are you, Car 54?" movie

  • favourite version out of all of them. he nailed it.

  • I didn't thought the singer was black before seeing the picture of the artist. The voice sounded way too much from a white person to be black

  • Why did the 2 people dislike. I mean WTF more else could this video have. I hate fags that dislike for no reason youtube should put the names of people who disliked so we can troll them. Unless someone disliked a sh*tty video, then thats ok

  • @9taledbeast and then if you disliked a video that you didn't like those people could see your name too, maybe they liked it and you didn't, maybe the people who disliked this like the original version and some people hate change, i don't mind change as long as its an improvement but we all got different opinions and the right to express them, anonymity is just as good as it is bad.

  • @TheAlpeXi so your saying this is a different version?

    anyway I dont mind getting trolled on since comments dont affect me but i never dislike a video unless I have a good cause so that would do anything bad for me

  • @9taledbeast a lot of people don't think before they act and even if they think about it after they can't undo it, if they don't really like it rating it up instead seems wrong too, since we don't use a star system anymore giving it 3 stars should now be not rating it at all which seems logical, not actually sure which version is the original but check the one by the animals, they are both good in their own way.

  • @TheAlpeXi wait so you cant reverse the ratings if clicked by accident? Lame. Anyway all of the covers are good except for i think its called the Leadbelly one cause the guy sounds way too off tune or might be just me

  • @9taledbeast you can reverse it but as soon as you pressed either one of them your stuck as 100 positive or 100% negative, no way to go back to the point before you rated it (as far as i know) so if you don't really like it and rate it down the only way to not rate it down is to rate it up and if you don't like what ever you rate down you probably wont like to have to rate it up.

  • This song fits the game well; good song though for a hopefully amazing game. i hope that they give us a full blown trailer soon instead of continuing to tempt us with teasers

  • very good song. i especially like the trumpet

  • Best version.

  • I don't know if i like the animals version or this better?

  • @abisivepoo You like this one better.

  • I feel like this is the way it's supposed to sound

  • I first heard this in Palm Beach, of all places. It's been my favorite version ever since. A brilliant arrangement!

  • Best version. Way better than Muse and The Animals
