I've been busy and got way behind in keeping up with watching my subscriptions. I just saw this vid. and WOW! You have outdone yourself (and just about everyone else on YouTube) on this one! Fantastic! Lot's of energy here and excellent guitar and drums, vocals too. Excellent!
so i'm just gonna say again that i LOVED THISSSSSSSS great job. :D i listened to r.e.m. a lot when i was like 4 until now because my dad loved them. and so they're basically my life XD and you did great. like. really great. SPECTACULAR. that's my new word. OKAY BYE NOW :D
Okay. So I click on your video while doing about 5 other things and suddenly the sound coming out of my crappy laptop speakers tells me this is something special. I drop everything, scramble to find my headphones, and have a second listen. Wow! Fantastic work, Eric. I'll be listening to this one many times more!
Like billymacon, i too am in georgia and REM has done so well. Leaving politics out- this was perhaps your best performance yet, based on the music and editing and blend. i don't know anything about the technical side, but as a music freak, i know what I like listening to and this was pure rocking, kicking music! I can't believe that you made this great sound! AMAZING!! FTM just gets better and better and when you think it can't get better-it does! You really set the bar high this week. ha ha
This is just the best! Such a powerful beginning. I listen to the audio on FTM on my headphones and your mix and separation of the tracks is amazing. And the vocals were spot on! Great harmonies. Plus, you chose a song from REM from my state of Georgia. Even two of the members, Mike Mills and Bill Berry, are from Macon. Such a win for me on a Monday. Thank you!
@JulianHertz The drums are Ringway TD90's. They're pretty much crap though, the pads keep breaking and I have to repair them all the time, so they're not very reliable. I'm getting my good drum sound by plugging them into my PC though midi into a VSTi called Addictive Drums. It's awesome!
Hi Eric! Here you have really done a lot of work and a very good work. The result is always good no matter what you play. And you know I like REM a lot. So it was extra fun to hear you this time for me. Thank you so much! You are amazing!
Damn, that was GREAT! You need to do a tutorial video on how you make your videos, what programs/equipment you use, etc.... You're certainly one of the most talented, young multi-instrumentalists on youtube!
@MrSethMusic Ha ha, it's not my bass, really. My friend Henrik forgot it here and he said I could use it, so yeah. Thanks! I'm really happy with how the mix turned out.

Great cover !
I love REM and I like the fact that you played instruments you never play on FTM usually. I envy you for mastering so many of them... =]
Amazing arrangement and also good video editing ! My mondays are never depressing because of you ^_^ for most people it means end of the week-end and all, to me it means another awesome FTM week that starts with a great vid ! Yup.
love your telecaster!!!! nice vid man! seriously awesome! lovin the instruments/ vocals/ everything I didn't know the song but yeah heaps good!!! good way to start my monday ^_^ loving the headphones as well XD loveeeeed it!
OMG!! This is is awesome! I am a fan of REM and you have truly done a fantastic cover here! I think REM would agree that this is one of the best covers of this song.
Well done?? No! ...VERY well done! Had to listen twice.
Good cover :)
