This is Not an Exit (Saves the Day Cover)

[justinman114]

great cover, i was steered here by someone who said this was better than the original. i don't think it is, sorry, but this is about as good as it gets for a cover! i could never say the original is worse than any cover, it's saves the day!

[ChrisDodgen]

@justinman114 uh, yeah...I'm not one of the ones who claims it to be better than the original. I like Saves the Day, too. Speaking of originals, however, you should check out my current project, A Song A Day in December, which is literally an original song every day. For you, start with #18, which kind of reminds me a bit of Stay What You Are. Just a bit.

[justinman114]

@ChrisDodgen i'll check it out right now! oh and i wasn't saying you were claiming it was better it was some other dude. still really great though!

[capostatus937]

you sound like chris, good cover

[hurahkane]

Dude!!!! Awesome!!!! Really!!!! Rad!!!!!

[seandawg03]

my favorite saves the day song. sounds great man. keep playing.

[rezzezezz]

Such a sexy voice

[aRandomBLast]

Comment #100. Yes! I found this RANDOMLY again. After a few months: I found your ass - drunk ass that is. Good shit mang!

[3Gsubiewrx]

Thanks for inspiring me to bust out my my old STD albums! haha

[deppified94]

"STOP IT." lmao, i love you :D do you have a fan page?

[RadioactiveDildo]

What is the tuning, down a half step?

[pleasemallorie]

man i keep coming back to hear you. this is great.

[tereisagainstyou]

i loved this :D! and i loved the doggies! :P

[leahhaswings]

okay-i love me some chris, but, you're better than him. keep playing.

[clanderson92]

one of your dogs pissed on the other if you didn't notice

[Pagerfosho]

YOU WERE GREAT!! you really need to do shows.. =] Keep it up..

[Shigga11]

Win.

[shibbyska]

It's nice to hear someone who sounds like old Chris when Chris doesn't anymore.

Great cover bro.

Check out my cover of "My Sweet Fracture" on my channel. I'd love input on it.

[missfitzgig]

that rocked

[pettygaw]

what's the link for the tabs you are using ??

You play great man

[myjunk081]

awesome man, thank you

[medioxcore123]

uhm, i think you're amazing. best covers i've ever seen of saves the day. keep it up, man.

[MerrySox]

So stoked to see someone do one of my STD covers justice. Conley's voice isn't exactly easy to replicate, but this cover was awesome. Props!

[thatkategal]

oh my, this is phenomenal. i usually don't like when people cover them, but you do so good, and you make it your own but also keep to the original. if that makes sense. anyways, good job. i love it (:

[tnt131]

loove it:)

[AnnaCecilleMoorman]

It kind of looks like an exit... and the drinking--yes, I think this was intentional.

[atrain2031]

is that a Pacifico

[Panthanger]

dude... great job.. Do you live in TN by any chance?

[ChrisDodgen]

I'm afraid I live in the only other state that begins with a T, friend.

Sorry.

[Panthanger]

sucks. do you play with a band?

[ChrisDodgen]

No. For lack of a better-sounding phrase, I just play with myself.

[jsnake2014]

do you play in public shows?

[ChrisDodgen]

Nope, not yet. I will start playing shows when I finish the album I'm working on.

[jsnake2014]

oh sweet. i hope you go big. your music is some of the best on the internet. i have a feeling youll be big in the future.

[xrisaxalleyx]

I adore your voice. Amazing cover. If this is the result, maybe you should drink more often. ;P

[ChrisDodgen]

Thank you for encouraging my light-to-moderate alcoholism.

:)

[xrisaxalleyx]

Any time, haha. :D

[thenagromelyk]

definitely the best std cover i've heard.

[blewyourconch]

fucking awesome. I just got an STD tat. This validated it even further. epic.

[venuselephant]

you do sound jus tlike him it kinda creeped me out i thought maybe he grew his hair out and disguised himself with a beard lol. but good job.

[lagrangepoint23]

Would you be able to send me a copy or post of how you played the chords and such, I'm just learning how to play the guitar!

[chrsjnny9]

dudee. fuck the haters.

your really good.

I really enjoyed all STD covers.

good job keep up the good work.

[megustalaverde]

meh.

[chsswntsjck]

this is my favorite song by them

I had my doubts about anyone successfully covering STD

but you're makin me veryvery happy.

i'm telling you your dogs are great.

[Mr360flip]

dogs wanna be on utube

[mynamesbobby]

fap fap fap

[ProHustler50]

Amazing cover was amazing.

Props.

[mmiissffiitt]

This was amazing! You sound just like Chris, You should cover Firefly.

[pra51]

[tbbradshaw]

are you drinking a shiner bock? im craving one now

[mynameiscolb]

Shiner is the shit! Great song, great beer. Life is good.

[agentLESLIEgee]

@tbbradshaw Obviously drinking a beer from, Texas, since he's from, Texas!

[troyspielmann]

nice dude. Just came across this today while bored and browsing some S T D to ease the mind. Will def add these to my playlists...excellent sound

[LauraaaWooo]

i really enjoyed this! i also really enjoy the dogs in the back haha

[Michaelness123]

Dude, that's fucking awesome. You did it so well. My all-time favorite band. Definitely. Everything you did sounded so sweeeeet. You should do "A Drag In D Flat." Definitelyyyy. Wiiiiith that sweeeet bridge-part at the end. I bet you'd make it sound amaaazing.

[starwarspunk]

good grief, you sound great! maybe i should try playing while drinking on the stairs too. :) rocks tonic juice magic next?

[justinimmel]

Is that a Dundee I spy?

[courtjester24]

isnt that the same guitar the dude from saves the day uses what kind is it i like it

[ChrisDodgen]

I don't think so. Mine is a Yamaha. Good middle of the road guitar. Both cheap and sounds good.

[DarkRaven324]

so how about more std covers lol :) good job keep them coming.

[GlenthegayTV]

if you could write out the tab for these savse the day acoustic covers... you dont understand how grateful i'd be...

really good covers mate

[smontag21]

Wow man, you're really friggin' good. You gonna do 'The Choke'?

[SingsongsAndwakeUup]

...and Despair...

:(

HAW!

[canseideserfeia]

[lastmemories3]

great song, awesome cover, he is so good ;D

[SpecialEd321]

hey man great cover. no its friggin awesome. is there a good tab online anywhere? theres quite a few but ur version seems a little difrent. and i agree with an earlier comment. u shuld record this and put it on limewire. id download it.

[allapologies95]

your amazing dude. good job.

[itsdope]

perfect.

[blocknetwork]

this is so f*cking awsome! i really like to play at my stairs very soon =D

[takemebacktoiowa]

love your beard,

and your cover!

[FutureMagic13]

Your really good. <3333

[cleanyournose]

good cover but you put that beer their to look cool.....so that makes you gay, good cover still

[ChrisDodgen]

Actually, I'm 29 years old, and at this age, alcohol is no longer a status symbol. That beer is there because I was drinking it.

[hotfudgemoney]

That kids a tool.  Good cover. I hope you enjoy that beer.

KUZ YER OBVIOZLY D0IN IT TO BE KOOL BRO!~~~

[maluroo]

check yourself hotfudgemoney ... you got some issues.

[ChrisDodgen]

I know it looks like hotfudgemoney was ripping on me, but he wasn't. Thanks to youtube's supremely whacked commenting system, this isn't posted where it should be posted, which is as a reply to someone else. They should really fix this.

[turpinian]

god dude...you got some serious talent...you need to utilize that shit and write some original stuff

[nobcheesy]

woww is drinking beer a really coooooolll thing to do where you live?

[ChrisDodgen]

Youtube commenting sucks. This person was trying to reply to something from before but it posted like he was saying it to me. Don't give hime thumbs down. :)

...Fucking youtube.

...I mean seriously. How hard is it to just let comments lie where they were inteded to be posted?

[nobcheesy]

lol yea this wasn't intended for Chris at all! I hope you're having a good weekend x

[blocknetwork]

yourd dogs try to have sex together =D

[FutureMagic13]

of course you would notice that =D LOLOL

[j12n07]

i saw that too!! haha

[scdrifta]

Sounds great and dead on but its rushed slow it down

[ohohvalerie]

play this for me :(

[razerblade11]

can you give me the tabs for this or a link thanks =D and awsome cover you do have talent

[synthxlove]

The dogs of behind steal the attention.

u really have talent !

[bedsheetsss]

you should record your covers.

then put it on limewire.

so i can pirate it all day :D

[willcox1393]

crazy but the first like 5 seconds is rough but i would listen to u more that saves the day. wish u were on limewire

[alphaXdragon]

i love how your dogs or dog and cat are just hanging out at the base of the stairs like they just want to be on camera. oh also good cover!

[pianox12]

Best cover i have ever seen

[stdlips]

is that new castle?

[ChrisDodgen]

That's funny. You're the second person to ask that. It's Shiner Bock.

[jarroffxi]

lol it was me!

[Brannek]

what chords are you using? Are you in standard? riff-C-A, riff-F-A for verse? C-A-F-G for chorus?

[ChrisDodgen]

As you put it - Riff F-Am, Riff G-F, then C-Am-F-G. Tuned 1/2 step down to Eb, Which actually makes the chords - Riff E-Abm, Riff F#-E, Then B, Abm, E, F#.

...Something like that...

[Brannek]

1/2 step down!--i should have totally figured that one out, Thanks a lot dude!

[Brannek]

great cover! Do you have the tabs to link? Or are you going to make another tutorial vid?

[ChrisDodgen]

No and yes.

What I'm doing is taking far too long. Sorry.

[companionsobey]

that was nice man, great voice.

[sighhill]

I just looked up this song for acoustic Saves the Day and saw Dodgen... maybe you should put up some of your originals. To be honest, you kind of put the other Chris to shame on his on song. And Conley's voice is one of the best.

[ChrisDodgen]

Thanks, Johnny.

[ThankYouJade]

This is probably my second favorite song ever. Not too shabby broseph!

[lnisbett]

like it

[ILikeOWLS]

awseome! haha yeah its a contest! haha great cover man!

[Johnem0]

Pretty Cool

[jarroffxi]

impressed....good work....and ur also drinking new castle good man

[ChrisDodgen]

It's actually Shiner Bock.

[thechris2989]

best saves the day cover i've heard. awesome job man!

[PassThatShit515]

Yay!! You did it! That's exciting.

<33

[WaMBaMkThNX]

you rock dude. You can never cover too much STD

[xNothingface]

Agreed.

[mrtableandmrchair]

really wonderful man. thoroughly enjoyed that.

[jimtews]

Nice work Chris! Your dogs provided visual entertainment.
