Matchbox Twenty Soundstage - real world & if you're gone

[InthenAmeofProgress]

holy shit you guys butchered your own song with this, this sounds like the disney channel sorry guys..still my favorite song by you

[nev594]

Is this their drummer? I heard the original drummer moved to rhythm guitar after the original guitarist quit.

[micktabs1]

korak



[TriforceRay]

WOW. It doesn't matter how many times i listen to him sing. Its like im listening for the first time and Im discovering an extremely Great Singer. My Props go to you Rob Thomas. Keep on making that great music. Cant wait for the New CD ill even preorder if it takes a year for the cd to be released

[eljpe45]

some people still wish the real world would stop hassling them. dislikes?!?!

[bejerama]

I don't believe they altered his voice as much as you guys claim. Mostly just him singing it differently.

[Girvin140]

No "love" button? I'll make one [LOVE] *CLICKS*

[detlefmolt2112]

I love this version. And the drum fill at 1:54 and the punches at 2:00 :)

[WomanMassive]

@detlefmolt2112 WTF! Watch the fill at 1:54 and you'll see that it's been overdubbed or something? How does he play so many beats without moving his stick???

[NickDTCHS]

@WomanMassive the whole drum part looks suspicious...i don't get it...this drummer is really good and certainly can handle these little fills.

[Pandasrule19]

No, Rob, thank YOU!!!!!

[iamurgelt]

Like the arrangement, and love the song, but did they really need to syntehsise rob's voice so much? He's got a great live voice,with subtle imperfections. This has been fed through digital equalisers so much it barely even sounds like him.

[WomanMassive]

@iamurgelt Agreed, unfortunately these are the times we live in. The won't release any commercial productions without feeding it through an autotune. We've all heard Rob without pitch correction and he certainly doesn't need it. In fact it destroys a lot of of his nuances and emotion.

[keepntyme]

Yo hurry up Rob we got to get to our gig in Liverpool !

[kernsypoo]

pure talent!!

[KaptainClutch]

Who the fuck would dislike this?

[Iseecool]

best band ever ! ! !

[00WhiteNoise00]

I like this version of Real World better than the original

[NorthgateStables]

next to bono

[zzflowerbombzz]

I can understand the need to change up songs. If you've been playing a certain song at every show for, what, 15 years? You might feel the need to renew it somehow.  I like it. :)

[Thatoneguyfromwalmar]

Rob Changed it up to keep his love going, Real World is one of their older songs and they decided to change it up a lil sometimes so they don't get tired of this.

[TheOyora]

not so perfect...7:18

[dulculux]

rob limit his true real power voice in this verse kinda christmas tune lol..

[strongsock]

if anyone can tell me how to burn this on a cd ill be extremely happy!

[iamnextplease]

@strongsock use realplayer!

[iamnextplease]

@strongsock use realplayer!

[dizzyisme]

both of these songs are amazing

[tne0007]

Wow, I really like this!

[abigailrose95]

weird...but i love it!

[Deathoftheopinion]

[matchboxpetty]

BRILLIANT!!! Rob is my superhero, he can fly by mine wearing spandex & a cape anyday

[CzarJerson]

@matchboxpetty LOL

[Hall123456]

OOOOHHHHH FANTASTIC VERSION!!!!

[ankiel109]

[etho42]

strange arrangement, but it works so well! amazing live band =)

[xcutesht]

Wow i've never heard this version before

[Darknessking81]

Real World makes me feel like a kid again.

[fatguyinchair3]

@Darknessking81 Same here Yourself Or Someone Like You came out when I was 3 and my dad bought it and we listened to it all the time. Such a great album from a great band. My first favorite album

[dontpaul1]

This kid has so much talent , we are going to hear from him for a long time & mb20 brings out his best !..............old man here still somking my bowl ! god bless everyone !!

[MrMovieWriter]

absolutely. rob is amazing. but something happens when mb20 gets together that ups the ante that much more.

[imcrazy4robthomas]

rob you and your band are great

[CherubRockerr]

dont like this version as much

[pimpincracka1226]

neither do i but its neat

[metrozebra]

What a gift these local Orlando boys have....beautiful. I remember seeing them just before they hit it big what great bunch of guys they are.

[buzzbynoonah]

Wow. This is cool. :D

[Mumblebee177]

Better than the radio version :)

[OwenStillLives]

matchbox should be canned, rob doesnt need them.

[luvlikelaughhavefun]

shut up their great

[OwenStillLives]

he writes all the songs and sings it all.

[luvlikelaughhavefun]

ok so your point

[pimpincracka1226]

i will say that rob thomas can be successful as a single artist but matchbox got him where he is today plus his matchbox twenty stuff is better than his solo stuff even tho his new cd is really great.

[turbomeisteruk]

this is excellent, good that they played around with the arrangement

that's talent for ya :)

[phoenix22x]

better not do make any comment,......WTF????

[KaikiTsuki49]

the fck? what is this? just be grateful that this was posted! god...

[calangodoido]

One of the greatest voices in pop/rock ever! If not the greatest!

[UpYourKeister]

this version of real world is a little too sweet for me....i definitely like the original better...it has that classic matchbox twenty kick.

i'm glad that they stuck to the original of if you're gone and OMG ROB THOMAS IS SO GORGEOUS!!!!!

[Carty915]

i agree, the original version is better, but it's still nice to change it up every now and then

[keifer1289]

Any1 know where i can get this version????

[tommyturbo18]

I'm a metal head but these guys are my favourite band ever!...by a long shot!

[torykale]

Perhaps better than any band in music today, they can so effortlessly and perfectly modify a song everyone knows to give it new life.

Everyone should hear MB20's country version of "Push" from Storytellers...it was amazing!

[edwardlove2468]

hey where was this concert???

[mozzadagozza]

this version of real world sounds very beatles

[awesomeasian1]

they're the best of the best, Love 'em!

[calicom110]

[crosspunk08]

[sideout244]

[sermons4u]

[edwardlove2468]

i agree!!!! its better!!!

[bclionsflamesdolphin]

It has almost a tropical feel to it.

haha

[crosspunk08]

pretty gay, original owns this

[Mdpats]

You're obviously an idiot.

[crosspunk08]

well if having an opinion makes me an idiot, then i guess i am.

[CardinalsFan8806]

I think the user is calling you an idiot for your way of saying you prefer the original version over this one. But i could be wrong.

[sermons4u]

how can it not be original? if it is their song then it's original every time they play it no matter how they play it!

[CardinalsFan8806]

Well, I meant the recorded version. Nice.

[maumeenmangler]

100% QUALITY

[AndyLLHS]

what a great rendition!

[SerialKiller0071]

real world sounds like a christmas song that way lol

[bendera3]

I was thinking that too!

[tinygal1026]

[sidneyyygurlll13]
