My Chemical Romance - Fortunate Son Aberdeen AECC 12.11.07

[Malinx97]

omg look at mikey in the biginning!! fucking adorable!

[LittleRavenHawk]

OMG I WISH I WAS THERE FOR THIS. FUCKING EPIC OMGGGGG This is why I love MCR. Well... one of the reasons. AND THIS COVER KICKS ASS.

[fireflie86]

This is one of the reasons this is my favourite band in the world :)

[Crusnik60]

Not a bad cover. Only downside is it's lacking a lot of the original's energy. This one seems held back just a liiiiiittle too much.

[91joelt]

Great cover. Lame crowd.

[lexierokey]

.....they covered Fortunate Son?

My head just exploded from joy.

[LuisDolores2244]

butchered this song

[SUNSHINElollipops602]

By all rights, this shouldn't have worked...but it did! I'm astounded!

[SUNSHINElollipops602]

By allrights, this shouldn't have worked...but it did! I'm astounded!

[betterthanu95]

best band playing one of the best songs

[codberg33]

horible....

[ChuckinCho]

The orignal Fortunate son is I one of my all time favorites and I was looking at the wiki article for it and wanted to check alot of the covers. I was always kinda partial to My Chemical Romance, liked a few of they songs, but couldn't stand the "emo-ness", but what really drove me away was the rabid overly sensitive pile of faggotry thats the MCR fanbase. Anyways, decent cover, especially live, was expecting shit. Wycleaf Jean made a cover of fortunate son too, now that was absolute shit.

[eriksic]

@mcrobsesser003 its because most of them are 14 and have no idea what the fuck is going on

[r0ckandrollTV]

cool, gerard always wanted a cover to this

[WalkerTRHolmes]

Hey, i love this song and this band and im about as emo as the freakin care bears. They are not an emo band. Not even a misunderstood band. So get off their backs about the whole emo thing. Been there, done that, and came back with the t-shirt. :)

[raiders202]

these ppl dont even know the lyrics i hate emos

[jimmi161]

I didn't think anyone could make this song suck.

[macsmetal]

although i hate the band, gotta say that making it more upbeat and the addition of gerard's odd somewhat high pitch gives it a nice new style that's a good fit...

and, as for the comments, most of all i've read have been a bunch of fucking nonsense on both sides of the argument...

[xDEMONIZEDx]

The music is great but the lead singer has a shit voice and does aid in ruining this song.

[paddypunkjustin]

This is fuckin' sad you're ruining the song! Fuck off and die emos!

[lag4190]

Lets just say that no one has ever heard of my chemical romance and listened to this song covered by them, they would say that they did a good job.

[HxC4life11]

this shit aint fukin punk u lil fukin dushbags thes fags have no right to cover a fukin ccr song i would drop all the fagot yuppies

u fags need some punk rock history lessons thes dushbags go to a nyhc show theyd die in the pit

[LAheavyx]

No one will ever take your hateful comments seriously because you can't spell.

[TheStupidPsychoBob]

not really its good

[Abstker]

It's just not natural

I LOVE Creedence

But they're folk rock

not punk rock

bands shouldn't cover songs outside their genre

Probably 99% of that audience didn't even know that song

[WeDareToBeStupid13]

That's the point!

[Ivek89]

You are an idiot.

And CCR was tenfold more punk in their age than MCR today. ;)

[LAheavyx]

@Abstker You're truly an idiot.

[x5649]

so Creedence Clearwater Revival has been my favorite band since I was a little girl.  And I've heard a lot of CCR cover bands do this song, and its sucked... but MCR actually did a really good job!

[ragnorok57]

never expected this

nice job MCR

[awwturnitup]

well this is gay

[Sparkz49]

Gerard's no Fogerty, but this cover is still epicly awesome!

[apixelateddream]

Everyone should stop dissing MCR or dissing the people who are dissing MCR (personally, I love them, but I also enjoy CCR) and just enjoy the cover for what it is. :|

[poggy1013]

emos everywhere.they dont know the song either aggh

[rawrfknrawr]

Decent cover, shame 98% of the people in the crowd had probably never heard it though.

[ignition014]

@rawrfknrawr I guess that's a good thing because a lot of the fans were relatively quiet.. otherwise the sound quality wouldn't be this good! ^_^

[NightfallGemini]

even though they're emo, I have to admit that this is a damn good cover of CCR.

[6stringsteve]

exactly what I was thinking.

[shermanowney]

mcr is not emo, you dumb fuck. they even said it before: they do not want people to be emo because ppl think they are. because they're not. shut up because you dont know anything at all about mcr if you cant even comprehend that they arent emo. >:( FUCK YOU.

[NightfallGemini]

holy youtube emo faggot batman

so what's with the late rage, even when I was complimenting them on not being mediocre. do you really hate for things to be called what they are?

[NoCiGaR320]

I have to admit that's a good cover. Since I don't like MCR at all, that's pretty amazing... oO'

[mikeb7791]

woow thats actually a pretty awesome cover, suprising because i would expect my chemical romance to pop and emo up the song and that would ruin it but they kept it the right way it should be played and it sounds great

[LivingoffIndie]

They actually did a decent cover of this song.

[chynaly]

there's too much crossy bass in this recording.  it's hard to hear over the *boof* off Bob's Bass drum.

[Aggiechilds]

Unfortunate cover.

[lurkingpanther]

hahaha

greatest comment owning ever :)

xxx

[heywaitupyo]

Like any of these fourteen year old girls knew a CCR classic anyway...

[piggybankvillan]

Ruined it.

[rdc501]

Pearl Jam's cover is much much better.

[pinkflame190]

just because a band you don't like covered it doesn't make it ruined.

drama queen

[piggybankvillan]

I'm not even hearing music. All I'm hearing is a whiny guy thinking it's something saying these words to CCR's song. It's pathetic. And yes, they are drama queens.

[pinkflame190]

seems like your the one whining. let it go and watch another video, listen to another band. one that you won't bitch about

[piggybankvillan]

Whining; To complain or protest in a childish fashion. I assume that's the definition you're using. I have yet to be proven that these jokes are actual worth listening to passed one minute. Yet, childish, is acting from toddler - teenage. In fact, your dialouge right now is just as pathetic as their "talent." "drama queen" and "one that you won't bitch about" is just that childish remark that proves is completely the opposite way around. Since I hate "arguing" on YouTube, I will leave.

[chynaly]

pfft you remind me of some girl in my school :)

both of you actually. There's this thing called freedom of speech, and another something called freedom of expression. so yeah. You both seem so hxc arguing on youtube XP lmao

[piggybankvillan]

Well there is freedom of speech and expression. I'm simply speaking my mind.

[JmEcNr]

haha, wow.

get over yourself.

go be cool and go listen to all your vinyls, and stop wasting your time on youtube watching mcr if you're not going to appriciate how amazing they are. christ.

[piggybankvillan]

Are you insinuating vinyls are not nice? Let's just see what would've happened without them. "Amazing they are" -- prove it. Give at least 5 points that are actually valid.

[S0ckless]

lmao, everyone in the crowd has the exact same hair

[mymibbaromance]

Wow, people sure have a lot of opinions about this.

IMO, Gerard did just fine. A cover isn't supposed to sound exactly like the original. That's kind of the point. And it takes guts to cover such a well-known song, so give them a break.

How come nobody mentions Ray on guitar? He did an awesome job, as always.

[albertoalejandro0424]

I have a theory about "where does those screams come?"

I'm pretty sure this tune was playing over and over while his stepdad abused him by the first time XD

[S0ckless]

wow, his whiney voice ruined a great song

[luvinpepsi]

John Fogertys voice is what made this song

I like this version but there is NO way Gerard sings it better, you guys are idiots to think so and you probably have never listened to a CCR song a day in your life before you hear this version.

[Shadowman131992]

Another Perfect Example Of A Great Song Raped.

GERARD WAY DOES NOT SING IT FUCKING BETTER.

[gabsss1987]

A gay band playing a great song. It's sad.

[kawaiiBinGE]

ohhh its great!! fuckin amazin<3333

loveit,yay<33

[SharpestKnives]

Great! My favorite band covers one of my favorite songs!

[room4099]

yeeeee

I love this,

Gerard sings it 'way' better than CCR! =)

[Louitrilobite]

NO! Gerard does most certainly not! sing it better..

ok and quite good but not better.

[Louitrilobite]

NO! Gerard does most certainly not! sing it better..

ok and quite good but not better.

[Louitrilobite]

NO! Gerard does most certainly not! sing it better..

ok and quite good but not better.

[Louitrilobite]

I dint actually mean to say it three times : )

[room4099]

Gerard's way better actually. :]

[1naonak1]

As a fan of Creedence, I'm horrified...

[stefjerm]

oooh post grunge meets southern rock!! Love to see the Jersey boys take on this!

[Mychemobsessorx123]

Erm .. you were right next to me at the concert ! , are you a girl or boy? if your a boy i seen you there=]

[crimewavez]

girl ^^

[laughinginyourmisery]

I really dont remember this at aberdeen haha.

I think i was to hyper to remember.

[UndeadLivingCorpse]

i <3 this song now.

Gerard sings it really well.

I was there too!

[lolxmasquerade]

*jealous*
