[notrub15]

[MyLifeRSC]

[nickatwork]

I'm digging the "Hi Dad" on his guitar.

[GuardianXIII]

I think I've given this about 50+ views.

[peachypolka]

[BigCityBreakdown]

I have an acoustic solo project called Big City Breakdown and I am heavily influenced by City and Colour, so if you like Dallas Green then you should check out my channel :)

[AaronLCoon]

@BigCityBreakdown saw this comment, checked ur shit out. pretty good man. you have a new subscriber. i like your playing and your vocal range too. especially when you sing out higher. the lows sound like the need just a bit of work but keep it up.

[leftxside]

the ONLY good thing to come from Canada

[heavyload1969]

@leftxside yea?

i guess the telephone, inculin, basketball, hockey or snowplows aren't that important

[mattb00th]

@leftxside minus the billions of dollars going over the border every day... and just about everything else, then yes! you sir, are correct.



[Jmagsy]

Dallas Green is the biggest.

[biancalemons69]

[AlinaUndVani]

He's a musikgod.

[cmg2491]

this song is so easy flowing

and i like how Dallas green is the clark kent of the music world.

glasses on - city and colour

glasses off - alexisonfire

[AFDBonki]

He needs to play that song on an acoustic guitar...Electric just kills part of the song.

But though...he is great. The Guitar part isn't that easy to sing+play it.

[Aergial]

@BeaIs4Lovers.

You, Are, An, Idiot.

John mayer is a Godlike guitar player, that happened to get a decent voice.

Dallas Green got a Godlike voice, and learned like 4 chords on an acoustic. Dont ever compare the two, because anyone with musical talent of any level, will know you are clearly a moron.

[lifelonggaybot]

@Aergial

don't you dare talk down to dallas green you blaspheming asshole

[328ledzepp]

@Aergial dude you are retarted, dallas green is way the fuck better than john mayer, and yeah you cant compare them because dallas green is better. he plays more than just 4 chords so clearly you are the moron with no musical talent.

[Fortress6661]

@Aergial i will give John Mayer the guitar playing aspect, but Dallas blows his voice out of the water, not to mention its a known fact that John Mayer uses autotune live, so any knowledgeable musician would call you a moron.

[tristan2]

@Fortress6661 dude dallas green blows john mayers guitar skills out of the fucking window

[smarky23456]

@tristan2 Dallas Green blows John Mayer off of the fucking planet in general =D

[tristan2]

@smarky23456 amen to that my friend

[Telecasterpunk]

@smarky23456 What is up with the John Mayer hate? Have any of you seen any footage of him live? Heard any of his songwriting abilities? John Mayer is extraordinarily talented, as is Dallas Green. Comparing the two is foolish and immature. Grow up.

[smarky23456]

@Telecasterpunk i never said john mayer wasn't talented. i was simply stating my opinion on the two artists. you're the one who's acting immature about it by trying to start a pointless argument about it. if you didn't like what i said, there's a nice little thumbs down button for you to press. which you'll press for this comment most likely. have a nice day. =D

[Telecasterpunk]

@smarky23456 Never was trying to start an argument, I brought up the logical point that comparing two artists' who write their own music and sincerely care about their music should not be compared since you cannot measure art. I don't think John Mayer is better than Dallas Green and I don't think Dallas Green is better than john Mayer. Saying that one is better then the other as if your opinion is a fact however, is foolish.

[Aergial]

@Fortress6661 Dallas green has a decent voice. John Mayer can sing jazz, pop, blues, and probably more- and doesn't limit himself to a single genre. You are clearly biased over a musician 90% of the US has never heard of. Dallas green is a great musician, and didn't go the pop route to gain fame like mayer did, i will give him that. But overall talent i would easily give to john mayer. John mayer uses autotune live? I'm sure he does, because you've obviously been to some of his live concerts....

[Fortress6661]

Though I disagree with what I wrote a year ago, Dallas is a much better guitarist than you are making him out to be. Just listen to Alexisonfire. :P

[wagstaff11]

@Aergial woah woah! I'm a huge John Mayer fan, (not just his mainstream stuff.. I listen to everything of his) but to say that Dallas is less talented is just ignorant! He is, in my opinion, one of the best songwriters to come out of Canada! Come on man, they are both fabulous musicians! and I like to think anyone with a substantial amount of musical knowledge will agree with me on that point lol

but whoever said mayer uses auto tune live is an idiot.. I've seen him twice! haha

[stopracismhatewar]

don't talk about other bands/artists on a video which is not related too them in any way.

[Keepthefaithbooking]

Is has a major label. he is in Alexisonfire. ahah

[radjarocks]

Is there really 'hi dad' written on his guitar?! That's so cute! :) Dallas Green <3

[baldetti7]

man, this guy should have a huge record deal

hes just as or maybe more talented than john mayer

my opinion

[msenslen011]

ever heard of a band called alexisonfire?

[baldetti7]

@msenslen011

u talkin to me?

[msenslen011]

not anymore, you must have by now

[BeaIs4Lovers]

I agree with you 100% about him being more talented then John Mayer. For sure! John Mayer is good dont get me wrong. saw the dude live. but his voice is kinda weird and gets annoying. Dallas' voice is just so pure and soothing!

[cursedreject]

@BeaIs4Lovers i love mayer haha its kind of hard to compare them

mayer's more guitar oriented and blunt with his lyrics

[FlyingCupcake123]

he is aweosme!!<3

[cursedreject]

scissors*

dallas is awesome

[linkinlizzy]

im addicted to his voice.

[penhars6]

Dallas Green, you are the best.

[KRCV25]

We need another City and Colour album!!!!!!!!!

[v8supercarstv]

The longer we wait the better quality it will be :)

[lost1nanger]

@KRCV25 you got it man.

[42wing]

@KRCV25 And another one is here! I got it, fucking awesome, get it! Best album yet!

[1134cc]

i totally remeber seeing this always thought he was good now alexisonfire and city and colour are like fav bands/artist lol

[xPOSIxDANx]

i love this song so much,it makes me happy when im sad,and it jeeps me sane. we salute you dallas!

[peachyperfect1]

dallas green you legend.

[apoeticmindset]

I love the fact he has "HI DAD" on his guitar. Makes me smile. His voice is flawless.

[kevNchris445]

Dallas green makes me want to be Canadian lol...

[PYROXL]

Dallas Green makes me Proud to be Canadian :)

[okkcomputer]

and what about jim carrey?

[cursedreject]

+hedley and some other artists

canada has some serious talent

[jimmypageforprez]

dude are you serious fuck Hedley their a 3oh3 rip off which is really shitty since 3oh3 sucks dick to

[cursedreject]

i dont listen to much 3oh3 but their music seems like they're completely different genres

i dont even see a resemblance in their music

[jimmypageforprez]

listen to hedley then dont trust me or whatever that song is they sound so much alike

[cursedreject]

@jimmypageforprez my main hedley songs are "old school" and "for the nights i can remember" which sound nothing like don't trust me

[ryanwakiraa]

@kevNchris445 And makes me proud to be one.

[Ryan569]

@kevNchris445 Being Canadian makes me want to be Canadian! lol

[dixielandcrew7]

@kevNchris445 almost. lol

[sirgreggins8824]

@kevNchris445 NO! Dallas Green is the only cool canadian

[marmiteislush]

dallas green! :} (L)

[chiminginanapogee]

compared to other vids of this song, this has one of the best audio qualities

[dillmaster5ea]

i love his voice and he has a great taste in music, besides Dallas, my other favorite singers are Brandon Boyd, Johnathan Davis, and Ronnie Radke.

[BeautifulMachine6]

I agree. Those guys are great vocalists. Theres only a few people id put in the same catagory as Dallas. Brandons definatly one of them, his voice control is amazing.

[antraniga]

this guy rocks

[barriehomeboy]

but George W Bush had the same IQ, and we all know what we thought of him. So yeah, I might piss you off. My weakness is that I can't send an army to invade your country.

[jennyleigh4990]

goodness i love him. i met him today at warped tour :]

[creepinoutsara]

i remember seeing this

awsome performance

dallas is the man!

[metrostationlove1]

he kinda reminds me of elvis costello .. you know ? with the glasses and the facial hair. isk maybe im wrong , but i think so

[diogocamposmes]

fucking awesome

[junglistmassive11]

such a great voice and talent...love it

[Pattyfdw]

It's a Gibson 335.

[yarhalla]

nice song

[lifelonggaybot]

the crowd is gay

[barriehomeboy]

you know the sexual orientation of everyone in the audience because....?

[lifelonggaybot]

your an idiot

[lifelonggaybot]

i'm sure lol. thats why you feel the need to prove your intelligence to a stranger on youtube. fuckin loser

[barriehomeboy]

Yeah I'm not sure where that comes from. A different generation I guess. People used to be polite and not insult other people for fun. It's a different world now. I guess I need to become abusive and insulting too, just to fit in.

[barriehomeboy]

OK. I won't.

[MrPlmgrn]

*reply*

[chilidog1001]

does anynone know the guitar hes using???

[timandjeremie]

it looks like a gibson es-335

[xnd03]

awesome

[snolan80]

HI Dad! In hockey tape!

[drainedvoid]

that is sooo cute, ILOVE DALLAs

[snolan80]

he kinda got nerdier though. . . I liked how he looked here in 2006. His new glasses aren't that great on him. Music is still good though.

[flurgesburger]

Dallas Green is amazing, every time i feel like a little sad i just listen to him and he cheers me up cause he is amazing!

[proxima777]

everytime im bored i somehow wind up watching dallas green live for hours on you tube :)

i have no life haha. or maybe he;s just really good

[Shifteightyfiveokay]

ditto.

[imaslut4coheed]

Dallas is beautiful & brilliant.

[DesecrationSmile2012]

These days it's very rare that we see a TALENTED, known, musician under the age of 30. Dallas Green gives me hope.

[Brewx2]

How fucking irrelevant.

[FodderMoosie]

It's sorta relevant, in that Bob Dylan made a huge difference for acoustic singer-songwriters. But yeah, it's like comparing Chuck Berry and John Frusciante.

[Brewx2]

But trying to compare two artists on such a fickle matter as how 'cool' they are is just idiocy.

[BjGard]

Yes and Oranges are better than apples.. IDIOT

[xxterrbear101xx]

blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

i love this so much,

i don't even know what to say

<3

[kryptonickraze]

Hahaha his guitar says "HI DAD".

[danny123654123]

he is incredible and i think its a good side track from 'alexisonfire' (also a good band) :)

[xn6]

he's only 28 but if you didnt know you'd think he was older by how great he is

[danny123654123]

he is amazing - can't get enough of his music!

[jmatt88]

Dallas Green is one of the best musician/songwriters of our generation

[LucasJamesHicks]

haha

HI DAD

[jacklemons]

maybeee next time, will be yourrr time

i love him so much.

[tdspurs]

wow

[tobreakcustom]

That set he's on is freakin' awesome.

[Giucy1983]

what a voice! He is incredible!!

[NatralSlectionAnus]

Holy shit the MMVA's are so fucking gay now! :P They award people for being shitty musicians n sellouts! haha Dallas Green's about the only REAL musician there and he can only strum in one style when he plays! :P lol man people love lack of talent nowadays!

[McGregorz]

Are you saying Dallas Green has no talent because he is not the best guitarist in the world? Because if so, HA. Do you think people buy his albums to hear him shred? Nope. He has probably one of the best voices I have ever heard.

[jmondo311]

Exactly

[huntmich]

He's a singer/songwriter. He's not supposed to be able to play like Jimi Hendrix here. He's supposed to provide a melody with rhythm.  And I think he does that just fine.

[StridingPurposefully]

Dallas Green is an amazing musician, he is playing infront of amazed fans, playing great music and making money doing what he's good at and enjoy's.

What talent do you have NatralSlectionAnus?

Appears YOU have a lack of talent sir.

Are you that idiotic to spurt abuse at Dallas Green when you should surely know that you are going to cop abuse yourself, you daft tool.

Alexisonfire are awsome not souly because of dallas but he sure has a big part in it.

[xthexcrowx]

btw learn to read what people say

for instance

"Dallas Green's about the only REAL musician there and he can only strum in one style when he plays" meaning he is fucking amazing and second

"man people love lack of talent nowadays!"

he is refering to this bit "Holy shit the MMVA's are so fucking gay now! They award people for being shitty musicians n sellouts"

So before you start saying people have "lack of talent" or saying theyre abusing Dallas Green learn to read properly you daft twat

[McGregorz]

Are you saying Dallas Green has no talent because he is not the best guitarist in the world? Because if so, HA.

Me asking him if he thinks Dallas has no talent clearly shows that I don't exactly know what he means, but if he means the I impression I got then hes retarded. It looks like you need to read more closely.

[robertrageee]

Dallas Green is an amazing guitarist.

[usuckbadly]

lol douche i would really like to see you do better than those "shitty" musicians who are actually very talented

[broman113]

i agree!

[SweetZoid]

Best song! Dallas green<3 God of Music?

[jakevolcom88]

best song ever

[deloreswynne]

love this song

[JSampson1991]

Dallas love you champ... all the way from australia... come back soon xx

[stevepike678]

how sick would it be if alexis were at soundwave again next year haha he mite be forced 2 do a solo gig then :P

[wh0rehouse]

dude has a fucken great voice

[rawritsrosieex]

really fuckin trippy

[doublesixther12]

haha HI DAD...on his guitar.

[xtthew]

This was on Fathers Day.  I remember watching it Live.

[sabrezfan9]

yeah, they always do the MMVA's on fathers day. its funny how not many of the winners and guest accualy mention their fathers.

[OcupagsiToT]

Dallas Green = God (L)

[DeathofBabylon]

Nothing beats a folk singer with good lyrics.

And, to add on the fact that he has a good voice, wow. Breath-taking.

I don't know who I like better, him or Sam Beam.

[insomniacgoldfly]

dallas green completely blows me away.

:]

[jedapish]

what a coincidence.. anthony green, dallas green.. haha best singers together with johnny craig.

[kirkharbaugh]

you should put Kurt Travis on that list too! :) Dance Gavin Dace has a history of great singers!

[hockey4life0099]

dustin kensrue of thrice is pretty amazing too

[hammyunknown15]

awesome!

plain and simple.

[MissSageLaRae]

BEST EVER is an understatement sorry..

[mariamariaa]

aw, memories...

[s0ss]

dallas green is cool. his music is good, he's a good singer. a really good singer.

but to say he's the best.

[lizzythewhite]

its not about whos the best in this industry its about who speaks to you through their music, and what music touches you as a person. There will never be one artist who everybody will agree is the best and it shouldnt be about popularity anyway. It should be about what the music has done to your life, and dallas's music has touched my life

[jalapalois1]

you are very wise my good sir

[wpditerl]

Still my favourite song of his

[pduro830305]

this song made me stop....listen....and love...thank you...

[xxCakeistightxx]
