Toby Rand "Burning Down the House"

[3of1992]

what is dave navarro famous for again? and .....does he listen to different awesomness to the rest of us mere mortals?

[fatchino]

WTF I can't believe lastfm has this set as the video for talking heads burning down the house; this is horrible.

[hastn]

TR was better but I think Lucas suited Rockstar Supernova better.

[bengwak]

I love how they bagged on toby for using the megaphone because of JD fortune doing it the year beforehand, yet watching it back, it only adds to what he was doing. They would have been alot bigger had they not hired Lukas, but i'm still kinda happy Toby got to go back and make music with Juke Kartel, their music is shitloads better

[KelwinDicks666]

Respond to this video... 

[navylee3]

he especially did it better than nickelback

[CanObeyComedy]

.. Im listening to this, with headphones on.. and im clapping my and hands and snapping my fingers.. my mom walks .. in.

Me:Toby Rand

Mom: 'Enough said.

[novaandtetris]

@jeffhardy9 I think you need to pass it first, its a lot better then the original

[PupliftA]

Really great!

[Ylatch]

This is the coolest god damn thing I've ever seen

[1B1GJOKER]

Better version than the original!

[blargh65]

I fucking miss this show so much. American Idol can die in a hole for all I care; bring back Rockstar.

[Jonnyoh77]

for those who dont know, he now has an amazing band called Juke Kartel

[morrisonlover44]

he is so amazing

[liquidtenor]

I forgot about Toby. How is that? He's really good and I would have certainly have chosen him over Lukas. I'm going to have to look in to what he's doing nowadays.

[iluvshajalan]

Hahha, megaphones are for douchebags, Toby! (i.e. JD Fortune)

[troutvt]

way funkyyyyy, no doubt, duhhhhh

[gregcreation]

much better than lucas

[julez369]

mhmmm.. *every girl's crazy bout a sharp dressed man*.. Toby's lookin good here. =]

[tobyrandfan01]

this is sooo much better than the actual original from the "talking heads"

[jordanperkinsperkins]

hahaha, WHAT!

better than the talking heads!? The only ones who play the talking heads music anywhere close to or better than the talking heads, are phish. period. this shit is lame

[G13fucksmeup420]

ya right u r retarded and tone deaf... david burns is a genuis and this is the only reason this sounds good cause he made it up the vocals on this are garbage though

[GASPAR1414]

Without a doubt he should have won!

They would be selling out places everywhere.

Lucas ran them right into the ground

[BRPanther08]

it wasn't Lukas who ran them into the ground. Newsted got hurt and Gilby bitched out. Tommy had some legitimate excuses. I'd say get a new guitar player along with Johnny Colt (Newstead's replacement) and they'll be fine. I think Lukas fits them the best, and I wanted Toby to win.

[jesikonstantine]

@GASPAR1414 I thought Lukas was really good, but I have to agree Toby would have been the better choice. This man has some serious talent!

[ValeneShay]

Awesome performance. Great stuff. Toby was kickin' some serious butt.

[dernaegle]

the sad thing is that the music industry didn't capitalize on toby, magni or ryan at all. they'd all be a pleasant change to the crap on the radio right now.

[gusmactavish]

This guy sounds exactly like the crap on the radio. This cover is fucking SHITE!

[jordanperkinsperkins]

thank you!

[xgabbyx14]

I love this soooo much i just dont like the mega phone as much cause he doesnt need it his sooo awsome

♥<3

[funnafisa]

hmmmm ya now I m thinking like tht. gud point tho :) thanx!! now I feel a lil better ;D toby is way fucking better on his own n he can bring out wht he has. he can shine without RSS!! Bravo toby rand :) n thanx 4 a gud point haytrav3!! I wonder y din I think abt it b4!!

[funnafisa]

how sad tht a talented n an innovative rockstar like toby rand din win da supernova?? it still shocks me.......

[haytrav3]

Think about it though. RSS was a one album thing, and even then they barely made it through one album. Rand is much better off back in Melbourne with Juke Kartel.

[slushiesis]

SEXXY !!! Not just his rockin version of this friggin awesome ass song...but YUMMY to look at. I agree with 'sunshine' that he looks wicked in a suit and tie- plus he's from australia. Enough said. XOXO

[TYMAN8]

Rock down the house TOBY :}

[okladibla]

HE ROX! 8D

[ReallyBloodyGood]

Anyone claiming this version is better than the original needs a punch in the mouth. I'm a massive Talking Heads fan, and I have to admit that I actually thought this version was pretty decent, you can't say it's better than the original.

That's criminal. For further proof, watch them doing it live on the Stop Making Sense DVD. There's a video of it on here somewhere. They absolutely bring the house down.

[cookieman115]

where can i download this version

 i tried limwire

[xosunshine3]

I love how original it is!!! :D

The megaphone was fucking awesommee!!

and he looks WICKED HOTT in a suit and tie!! ;D <333333

I love him so fucking much there's no way to put it in words..<33333

[jo25182518]

real AUSSIE talen, not bad looking either. Love u toby...xoxox

[OzzyBaby91]

he is so fuckin hott!

[tmpbikergirl]

he is pretty sexy

[shelltobi1]

awesome

but judges didnt like the speaker thing

i recon its awesome

[jowo3189]

SEXY BEAST!!!!!

[Nostalgiahatesme]

Where did those other verses come from?

[staccat0]

I love how he took a unique and interesting song and made it safe and generic. This guy did have decent taste in music and covered some good stuff, but it was all watered down for TV I guess.

Its funny that David Byrne was so influential to so many musicians, yet so few people follow his lead and think outside the box...

[RokDAWG1]

I'll second this

[geosky]

is good!

[topchops]

you kidding me? no one beats the talking heads' original

[scottdogg911]

this is 10x better than the original

[jeffhardy9]

a better version then the original, way better

[Masterphonic]

@jeffhardy9 Pass that shit and let me hit it, because it's got you crazy talkin'

[MarqueeMoon602]

This is horrible

[valeferht]

i like the way he moves his hips, he is very hot !!!

great voice

[pots84]

Very hot!!!

[valeferht]

i like toby's hips...he is so sexy!!

[blackgoddesslon1860]

He is so freaking hot!!! omg I love him!

[MTrulez]

toby rocked he shouldve won but i dont think they didnt like the big microphone they didnt like the aussie flag on it

[dirty06maggot]

that's why david navarro gave that weird look. and the other guys too. lol. i thought it was cool. dont car about the flag

[jayjayrulz]

go toby! love him!

[notlix]

kicks but!!

[GbGluver69]

I liked this guy before this performance, but this one solidified me as a fan! I liked the megaphone - overdone?? Who cares? Why wreck a good thing.

[mroizo06]

If Toby doesn't win I hope Ryan does. They are both worthy talents.

[krissrocks]

fuckin awesome

toby to win

[littlebliss]

Ha! He's awesome and he seriously kicked ass here.. wicked. :)
