[cmarcelo10]

I've an infinite amount of respect for you fellas! Came across you guys last year and I always find myself watching your fantastic covers & originals over and over. Thanks a lot!

[dwilson343]

LOVE IT.........I watched your Boston cover vid........SPOT ON

[ronferds]

[destefanojustin]

Stumbled on one of your videos today, and I haven't stopped watching you guys since. You guys are awesome! And btw Jeff, Go Yankees!

[kiwisinfoxhats]

This is easily the best cover of this song I've ever heard. Been listening to your other stuff too, keep up the good work! You've got a wide audience :P Showing this to the rest of my mates in New Zealand.

[jamming0069]

people would pay for lady GAGO and Justin Sh3t!?

but won't pay for this?

What the h3ll is happening to the music wordl!!!!

[DaMole129]

SKINS

[rickman1986chen]

I like it ^^so much good job

[Maxioff]

Man! You do the picking in the chorus like a BOSS!

[axgeon]

stupid audience, u are really good boys, Good luck on the life, i really like the cover of the song :D

[invasionvisual]

hello mike you're amazing man! all your songs are very nice. do you use acoustic guitar mic or you just plug your guitar directly to the mixer cause the sound is very natural as in a good quality of acoustic guitar.

[deandouglasd]

Absolutely amazing stuff (even though I'm a Red Sox Fan. ha ha) Seriously though, how could your paid gigs be few and far between? I know you said you aren't too good at self promoting, but get your friends to help out! You guys could easily go big. Final note, what are they serving at the pizza joint, Quaaludes? Man!

[knic0]

As a lifelong diehard Phillies fan (don't judge), I've been conditioned to never take any Yankees fan or friend thereof seriously. You have become my first (and probably last) exception to this rule (just don't tell my dad). You made my today a happier place to be in. So thank you. See you in the World Series ;)

[jimihendrixfan2008]

I bet that the original artists saw this and thought: Damn these guys are good!

[antoinebabin1]

where do you from 6 and where do you make show ?

[mikemassedotcom]

@antoinebabin1 Hmmm. Wanna try to rephrase that question? I got nothin'.

[pupack]

@mikemassedotcom think it should be: "Where are you from? and what place do you gig?" ;)

[tribeofthetrees]

@mikemassedotcom yeah i was curious also as to where do you from 17 and where do you from to last thursday purple pickle mini disc hot butter cheese show?

[fusquinhacarioca]

@tribeofthetrees I see what you did there.

[dooshgoosh]

I subscribed a while ago now, and missed this song, its one of my fave songs ever

and I gotta say you guys are the best covers group I have ever heard (I.M.O)

[MrDoobie834]

My wife and I live in California and travel the US a lot. We will make a special effort to stop in. Amazing and quite professional!

[kiwihow01]

I hope that they give you some free pizza and beer at least!!

[mrpesca]

I just don't get all the negative comments about lack of songwriting ability, bashing the bass player, etc. I guess these folks have so much talent that they have to WATCH youtube instead of posting all their blindingly brilliant material. Great covers guys.

[OBAIDY]

bass guitar player useless..great job guitar player..

[PoconoSteve59]

If you guys travel to NY or PA, you'd make some serious cabbage..... Get a promoter and move East

[LimminFoot]

Isn't impolite to outperform the original? ;-D Absolutely amazing, man...

[guitargreg72]

great song and singing but that yankees hat is a buzz killer

[UtzChips2009]

This is what happens, when you have an excellent voice, can play the guitar flawlessly, but cannot write your own songs: you end up playing in pizza joints.

[mikemassedotcom]

@UtzChips2009 I have a playlist on my channel of my original songs, fyi.

[eazizisaid]

@mikemassedotcom He's an ass, do give a shit man ;)

[ts6868]

@UtzChips2009 You obviously haven't looked at his site.

[lateankate]

@UtzChips2009 Thats a shit comment to post loser!!!whats wrong with playing covers to people in a pizza joint?? or any venue for that matter. You dont even know this man you idiot to say that he "cannot write his own songs" Imagine what the world would be like if there was no people playing in places like a pizza joint!!

[matco24]

@UtzChips2009 troll much?

[CorrieKatczynski]

@UtzChips2009 it does not matter where he is playing, he is doing what he loves and loves what he is doing and that is mega cool! and ... let's not forget the 41,654 yt hits just on this one song ;)

[evsynator]

@UtzChips2009 ... this is what happens when you cant play or write anything . You make stupid comments on here as an utter loser .

Anyone who trys to play - no matter how bad is in it for the love of the music . The only ones that say anything bad are the ones that cannot do anything .

[Boxcar101]

Perhaps Utah is the best place to launch a musical career from.

[Guitarmann6]

By ALL means WELCOME to Chicago or better yet come to the Star Theater in Merrillville, In. I know plenty of people would love to hear you fellas. I been play'n most of my life and my hats off to the both of your and your entourage you guys have by far the best live sound I've heard in a long time.

[bcooper123abc]

Mike Masse Rules. This guy is awesome.

[902assface]

where are you living??? im sure you could do really well off if u moved out here to L.A.

[tommyg524]

Mike, You will do fine on your website, I for one a sending your stuff to many many peop[le. Your talent can simply not stay at the loal pizza parlor. Although I'm sure you like the control you have so far over what and when you play, as well as the sound you've come to produce, you could be absolutely dangerous ...but then so can the "managers" in the music business, small steps are indeed wise...keep it small, we love it....just love it.

[gpradzin]

You guys need to find a new place to play...Chicago bar scene would love you guys!

[onepoet63]

Wonderful!

[cherfelss]

I wil buy some since I am on youtube listening to you so much anyway. Are you a studio pro? How do you make a living. Curious because I do a music duo too.

[cherfelss]

What??!! This is an outrage!! Is it because you already make a gajillion bux doing other gigs and don't care?

[mikemassedotcom]

@cherfelss I wish I got more paid gigs, actually. They're few and far between, mostly because I'm terrible at self-promotion here locally. The Pie used to pay me, but when they said they could no longer afford to have live music, I told them I'd keep doing it for free. But I am accepting tips from the YouTube crowd! :) You'll get high quality mp3's in exchange. Look for the "Buy" link on my channel page.

[stanjd]

@mikemassedotcom

Spoken like a true musician. Keep up the fantastic work Mike!

[pkightley]

@mikemassedotcom The Pie don't pay you??? Wow... Why don't you get a space where you can set up a webcam, get everyone to donate £5 and give IP address for feed and have a live internet gig! That may well be a first and would be great publicity

[rohansaharia86]

@mikemassedotcom Bittersweet feeling. Your renditions are beautiful. But to know that people won't pay for this. It's just sad.

Your brilliant. Keep playing!

[housedeluxe88]

@mikemassedotcom F***k yeah! That's what I call a true blood musician!!!! Keep up the good work !!

[cherfelss]

Mike, what did the guy hand you at the end?

[mikemassedotcom]

@cherfelss A request list. I pass out copies of the list to all the tables so people can make requests (of songs I actually know).

[cherfelss]

@mikemassedotcom  oh cool...how much do you guys get paid for a night there?

[mikemassedotcom]

@cherfelss Just tips, and free food.

[HuzzahSquirrel]

... and I wonder how can there be 2 negative votes (?)

[runninlate46]

I would love to hear Hayley Legg and you guys sing together.

[stepdrouard]

TrungFu you guys are by far the best cover band on the internet. everyone of your songs are either as good, or better than the originals. 24 novembre 2009

[jack9daniels9]

Why would anyone hit the dislike button, WTF? You guys are freaking amazing! Cheers!

[cojobo34]

[TheUnholyHomie]

Damn you mike! I'm trying to go to sleep but every time I think "okay last cover..." I end up finding another song I love covered by you and Jeff!!!

[19Just92Me]

[RoyalAces77]

Hey if you guys ever come down to the Florida Keys during season (Feb-May) I can get you two nights a week at a beautiful restaurant. Its $250 a shift and amazing sunsets.. email me at Jeffreyhocker@hotmail.com if you guys ever come down.. Peace

[Thermikus]

I like the bass guitar = )

[mikidou99]

Dang!!!

Great stuff!

Loved it guys!

If you guys were around my place I would always come and listen

and get drunk to your amazing performances!

[OBAIDY]

woooooooooow..great  job..

[RIPCB]

Amazing, I'd love to hear you guys do some more Stevens, especially Hard Headed Woman and Moonshadow.

[rooflee]

Guys, you really must try and find a better venue. Excellent cover tho 5/5

[valdezrobertoa]

You guys are awesome... great cover... also, I must say, the DC 16 RTGE did not influence my opinion since I have one and love it... and the fact that I also play bass and the bass player is wearing yankee hat and Jersey, well, I grew up in the bronx and am a die hard Yankee fan.... but you guys got me solely on talent, the awesome choice in equipment and baseball team is just more reason to think you two are cool... haha... Keep it up guys. You sound great!

[RonnyUSA69]

eight thumbs Up!!!!!!!!

[TrungFu]

you guys are by far the best cover band on the internet. everyone of your songs are either as good, or better than the originals.

[emilianoupsqui10]

tocas y cantas mui bien!!!

[hypaspazz]

There was no one as cool as you when I was a stu at the U. If you want to have fun, order a zappi for happy! it was my order of choice at the pie.

[trevordegler]

very nice,  love that song

[chajiali]

You guys are consistently amazing. The audience sucks. You deserve more than sympathy cheers.

[cmenardmfd5569]

@chajiali I have to completely agree. @mikemassedotcom You really need to take your amazing performances to another venue.

[leftyla]

Another homerun! So great...

[sullyrock]

you 2 are great! how about a video where you show the Pizza shop? you know flash it to the audience if possible, or maybe just a tour of the place- thanks- you rock!

[MrJulien4]

good!!!!!!!!!!(france)

[tim724vw]

Great cover...... YANKEES AL EAST CHAMPS

[richrance]

You guys are bloody awesome! Yeah, get out of the pizza place, we wanna see you on stage. Aim higher because you sound fantastic!

[chickadee2]

I totally agree. I could go to their show and listen to them for hours!!!

[chickadee2]

YA KNOW YOU GUYS NEED TO GET THE HECK OUT OF THE PIZZA PLACE ! I would love to hear you guys on stage.

[yilmaztay]

awsome

[shiziest]

yes!! you guys rule

[vtr1966]

I cant believe no one clapped when he finished, maybe he should go somwhere else where his obvious talent would be more appreciated!!!!!!!!

[chickadee2]

Awesome as always.

[poptoprubber]

5 ***** from me ,top song and top cover once again.great job guys.

[TAPlastic]

I have to lol when I see that someone hasn't rated it 5 stars, can this be done better yes by Cat Stevens and him only maybe. I'm giving it 100 stars and off to have a giggle at the A-----E who rated it less than 5. bye

[tatelabianca]

my thoughts exactly! as always, these guys deliver the goods. it's not possible to do this any better!

[Evangeline1986]

PROPS from NYC

[the1spen]

cool song sounds great, only thing that would make it sound better is if Jeff wore a sf giants hat and shirt just once!!!!

[Raylj318]

good stuff
