A Tribute to Elliott Smith - Southern Belle cover by Taylor King

[realexkav]

are you that guy from Zoey 101?

[TaylorKingMusic]

@realexkav ... no

[grimdoomsday]

smith doesn't use a plectrum at all and he tunes down a whole step for this song

[TaylorKingMusic]

@grimdoomsday Yeah well covers shouldn't be the same as the original, then what would be the point? I'm pretty sure I am a whole step down anyway.

[grimdoomsday]

i wasn't trying to bash you bro... i was just making a statement

[grimdoomsday]

pretty sure? as in there is the chance that you aren't tuned down a whole step? ok... i'm not really sure why you're being defensive, i literally was just saying what smith does, not what you should do

[mrbungs]

@grimdoomsday Nah, you're literally being a hater when you couldn't even replicate this kids performance, let alone Elliott's.. so buh-bye hater, see ya later. This kid did a damn good job. I'd love to see you post a better one considering you have so much to criticize. Nice job T. King. Keep doing what you do.

[grimdoomsday]

@mrbungs I can play some of elliot's most difficult songs you dipshit, I wasn't being a hater, you're being a troll. I don't see anywhere in post where i said his cover was bad. Stfu

[mrbungs]

@grimdoomsday Name the song. Post your version. I'll post mine. poontang. 

[anothernoisejunkie]

good job on the music but i dont like the way you superimpose yourself over elliott. it sends a bad message

[TaylorKingMusic]

Thanks. Sorry, what's the bad message exactly?

[NismoBdon]

oh my god your a fucking shredder. amazing cover man.

[TaylorKingMusic]

@NismoBdon Thanks so much!

[SallyLovesAngie]

This is awesome man :]

I dont hear many covers

of this song so you pulled

it off!

[TaylorKingMusic]

Thanks so much! Thanks heaps for subscribing too :D

[MJKPhilip]

This is awesome! well done.. what tuning do you use by the way? i am trying to learn the guitar part and it looks like you pretty much nailed it using a plectrum.

[TaylorKingMusic]

Thank you very much! I think it's either standard, or half a step down.

[pileofkittens]

the original is one step down. d standard.

[moliba11]

great job man

[TaylorKingMusic]

Thanks very much!

[iornphoenix]

bravo the pick sounds ...different but good job

[TaylorKingMusic]

Thanks very much.

[boofneenee]

an excellent cover and tribute to the legend. You put a lot of work into this vid then degrade it w/ all the shit talk. Just erase their comments if it frusterates you so. The ignorance is taking away from this talented vid

[ndargatis]

lol i love the haters on here people care about what exactly when trying to get a rise but the rise itself. getting their impident raged rocks off. very strange thing ive found on youtube.great cover just stopped by to check it out again.*****

[jjyarbo]

why are you using a pick?! otherwise, you do a great job :) just try to play with your fingers ;)

[TaylorKingMusic]

Only because i learnt the song that day and was finding it hard enough to play with a pick let alone fingers :P Thank you very much! Greatly appreciated.

[noonelikesalexD]

well i think its good. i bet noone of these faggots could play this. nearly as well as you. keep doin what you do taylor.

[TaylorKingMusic]

Thanks heaps.

[TuMira85]

Anything else? Still not caring. I've heard it all before and worse. Any more shock-speak for me? I'm a gurgling dead baby falling out of a bums asshole? I'm a piece of burning poop at the bottom of a trash can? You're not impressing anyone, and neither is this shit cover. Now I take my leave.

You dumbfucks are the epitome of vindictive, it makes me smile that i've evoked even your empty retorts. Every response you make is another victory in the sad tale of taylorking criticism.

[TaylorKingMusic]

Haha you don't care but you respond again. You fucking moronic loser. I don't care if this is a shit cover.. it's not my fucking song.

[ardenthater]

He's not alone bro. This cover sucks. And why ARE you using a green screen? Where the fuck do you get a green screen when you're 16 years old? You must be some kind of spoiled punk or something. Can't even take criticism without pissing yourself. Gunna have a hard life in showbusiness you are.

[TaylorKingMusic]

It's a wall in my bedroom you fucking idiot. I don't have any money you fuck wit. It's not criticism when someone rudely attacks you and assumes you think that you're Elliott Smith. Criticism would be "I don't like this (then stating why".

[TuMira85]

Poor child. You're so obvious! Hate the hater. That'll teach him his lesson! Typical.

My song may be shit, it may be the worst song in the world, but at least it's mine. Thanks for the views though. You took a gigantic dump all over elliot smith with a green screen of his face. This is the worst cover I have ever seen in my entire life.

Oh and just an fyi, no matter how witty, biting, cruel, or kind your response may be, I won't answer, because I absolutely do not give a shit.

[TaylorKingMusic]

Haha nice way to contradict yourself : "I won't answer". So what was that then? Oh yeah i'm so obvious hating the hater! How dare i be so typical and stand up for myself when im being viciously attacked. What is this world coming to when 16 year olds defend themselves against 25 year olds? Suck a dick you cock sucking fuck :D At least it's yours haha yeah well who else would fucking want it? Oh, this morning i took a shit, it stunk but atleast it's mine.

[brad38258]

TuMira85....you are a sad little turd. If you weren't so busy fucking yourself in a mirror you'd take the time to see that the world sees just how pathetic you are....and we laugh! We laugh at how hard you try to drag other people down, just because you have ZERO to offer. Enjoy the shit encrusted vomit that is the life you are stuck in

[TuMira85]

what the fuck is with the green screen? you are not elliot smith sir and you never will be

[TaylorKingMusic]

Hey you fucking cunt.. first of all, when did i ever say i was. This is simply my tribute to a great musician. And i'm not a fucking sir, i'm 16 years old. Why do you feel the need to leave comments ridiculing the performer even if you do think it is shit? One day you're going to get your fucking head kicked in if you behave like that.

[iornphoenix]

hey mabey a new insult is nessisary "cunt" seems overused lol

[gatometalico]

Definitivamente no es mi estilo de musica para escuchar. No obstante, aprecio tu suave musica y mis mejores deseos para que sigas adelante.

[imnotlarry]

la edicion del video es mala.

hay partes que en vez de cantar gritas y queda mal, como en 1.52

exageras la "crudeza" con la que rasgueas

2/5

[TaylorKingMusic]

Fuckwit.

[akaso405]

Good job man. Wish I could do it that well.

[TaylorKingMusic]

Thanks :D

[eRev21]

pretty good. Of course, there was only one Elliott Smith, but this song in particular is VERY difficult to play, and you pulled it off well.

[TaylorKingMusic]

Thanks heaps!

[thelittlestmarine]

Laugh it off man, he clearly spends more time trying to piss on other people than on worrying about his own life. You're doing what you love, and doing a great job of it. Keep up the good work mate. Ignore that loser and all his kind.

[TaylorKingMusic]

Thanks man.

[alkaioptic]

I agree, damn good cover. No one's Elliott Smith but this is pretty damn good. Good work.

[TaylorKingMusic]

Thanks heaps!

[veral4991]

Damn good cover.

[TaylorKingMusic]

Thanks heaps!

[sinky101]

really not  very enjoyable....

[danielsalsa]

Oh god how horrible. First, take a shower and get out of your pajamas. After washing thoroughly, proceed directly to voice lessons instructor. Take instructor's advice to stop posting video's on You Tube. Oh yeah.. Around 3:00 minutes I almost soiled myself from laughing so damn hard. AWFUL!

[TaylorKingMusic]

You're a fucking cunt. I won't take criticism from someone who i have more talent than in my left teste and who spends their time favouriting the Twerk Team's "Pop that Pussy". You really do sound like a miserable cunt; going onto people's videos just to insult them. "take a shower"?!?! Where did this instruction come from? Let me know when you have your own video up which portrays your talents and I will gladly check it out.

[danielsalsa]

Sorry, I don't post nonsensical videos like three-quarters of the people on You Tube. I know you'd like to think you have talent at singing or playing the guitar, but I'm sure out of the 638 people who watched your video didn't give it a rating or comment for a reason: because it's god awful. You can leave me a message once you take a shower.

[TaylorKingMusic]

So you admit you have no talent? You really are the biggest cock sucking cunt i have ever come across. Do you feel tough sitting behind your computer screen? You're probably some lonely fucking 40 year old who preys on people out of jealousy. It's alright.. useless cunts make talented people look better so you have your place in the world. You're a complete moron; the number of comments on a video will always be nothing close to the number of views. Still waiting on that video of yours...

[healthyaddixion]

so glad i looked for this vid this morning, not only because it is brilliant, but also so that i could tell you to laugh off the haters, like this idiot below me. he isn't worthy of carrying your guitar case. and i'm sure your other 167 subs would agree. luv you.

[seborc]

You know dude i totally respect but your a fucking homo but you don't really have to go around commenting on peoples videos just to try and prove your not you know before you were jsut faggot/homo now your just a motherfucking asshole faggot get my point? jesus you should go do something with your life like taylor is hes writting good music and improving every video so for all i care why don't ya go fuck off and die bitch

[TaylorKingMusic]

Thanks heaps!

[KimikoKatana]

Great.

The ending is very strong

[TaylorKingMusic]
