[calouie94]

This is great! Are you a lefty?

[TheMajesticMaverick]

This is a great cover man. I love the original, but in my opinion, you come seriously close to it.

[hyphentated]

this is really good man. you should check my cover out :)

[y1u1v1a1l]

[11xty]

you are the son of Matt Helders ??

very good cover!!!!!!

[gmezmarta]

I love it!

[iaelean]

Damn good cover.

[linuxdisks]

Good Cover! I think if Win Butler and Regine Chassagne heard your cover they'd be hiring a new band member lol

[basketcase5295]

@linuxdisks haha oh stop! you're too kind :)

[UnanimousLosers4]

Gahhh your amazing!

[VideoFletcher]

Raw and brilliant

[tandlaguilera420]

Pretty good cover dude! I like your voice!

[Shlalice]

this was an awesome cover! :) good work :D xx

[haaylley]

God I already love this song before but with this, everytime I felt uninspired I must listen this cover.

[basketcase5295]

@haaylley This comment seriously makes me feel great. And I know the feeling. I'm so glad you like it!

[ItsLehcar]

i agreed with you when you said that no one could cover an arcade fire song except for arcade fire. after watching this, i'd have to disagree with you because this was amaaaaziiinggggg! your voice is really unique and its real, if that makes sense. do more!

[burton56911]

I realized how great arcade fire are at writing music and lyrics from trying to find good covers to arcade fire songs. You did an awesome job. Love the choke in your voice. Great job.

[dhextall1]

you are really sick man. Keep it going.

[MrKruegers]

Dude, your voice is so chill! Love it

[madridmanutdahly]

I have 2 say mate, that out of all the other covers, this is by far the best. This is due to the fact that it was greatly sung.

[andres88ec]

simple but great cover!!

[IAmChaseMan]

This is really good. Lefties all the way :D

[JarvisJesseT]

Wow. Excellent cover. It's rare that I watch covers from start to finish but I did with this one. almost nothing bad to say. Good guitar playing, good tone to your voice, and just the right amount emotion in your cover. Good job man.

[jennybuchler]

I adore your fabulous voice! It is truly unique! Great job :)

[andytay365]

really good cover, well done

[HAHB]

Wow.. im your fan dude

[DooshCommenter]

Make original music. You sound amazing.

[emelyester]

btw, you kinda look like Matt Helders from Arctic Monkeys :)

[basketcase5295]

@emelyester Haha thank you thank you. The drummer? I'll take that as a compliment.

[emelyester]

@basketcase5295 haha yea the drummer! it's a total compliment :) & i'm happy you know who the Arctic Monkeys are! :)

[HinataHyuuga270]

@emelyester Damn! I tought the same :|

[emelyester]

i love your little video description :) you did an amazing job :)

[JackCAFC]

to properly cover an arcade fire song, you would need a lot of people and instruments, so this is good!

[ben310793]

Man, I've heard a couple of other Arcade Fire covers, and I've felt perfectly justified to hate all over them, but you've made this your own and it's an awesome tribute :)

[basketcase5295]

@ben310793 Thanks man, that means a lot!

[Shmellieful]

This is great :)

[TurtleKakashi]

trying to learn this song now haha best cover :)

[suevanilla18]

ohh god... is one of the most beautiful covers i've heard from arcade fire.. congrats!!!

[Brementen]

Thanks for introducing me to the song. Great job.

[paddyt07]

What chords do you play for this?

[basketcase5295]

@paddyt07 Capo 2- song is made up of, C, G, Em, Am

[paddyt07]

@basketcase5295

Thanks a lot mate.

Really great cover, your voice is brilliant.

[kontroledkos]

@basketcase5295 ...standard tuning...?

[Yuomo]

Nice work, man.

[Roel9331]

amazing song !!  and good covered !!

[KMarchenFilms]

arcade fire is my favourite band, so going into this i was ready to hate on you for even trying to cover one of their songs, but this is actually really good, nice work man

[basketcase5295]

@KMarchenFilms dude thank you so much. i'm happy that fans aren't ragging on this, i'm so humble and i was questioning even attempting it because its arcade fire, but im glad you like it!

[Shoes4eva]

@KMarchenFilms Love Arcade Fire covers =D And his voice kicks ass! Id have him in my band =)

[inDrockk3music3lyfe3]

really good voice.

[marinedude5]

pretty amazing man!!!! i love this cover and arcade fire

[nessarandom10]

So we should get married, and you can sing this to me all the time. :))

Seriously though, This is an amazing cover and I love how much you appreciate the band. Just reading the description made me love you.

[basketcase5295]

@nessarandom10 Hey thanks! It means alot.

[basketcase5295]

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I'm glad everyone is enjoying this vid!

[JZAOUTLAW]

Great job. Thanks for walking the bass notes and making the chords really sing. So many people forget that. Kudos man. ;)

[basketcase5295]

@JZAOUTLAW Thanks so much dude. I love that walking bass line too.

[bdbsea]

This is really just so great. It extends from the AF original with an interpretation that leads me to enjoy it all even more.

[UzTheMan]

This is one of the better covers if not the best cover of Ready To Start on youtube.

[basketcase5295]

@UzTheMan Thanks dude. uz the man.

[jksoccerfreak]

His nose is the size of a bus.

[basketcase5295]

@jksoccerfreak bigger. more like two busses.

[joseph94panda]

@basketcase5295 ......... btw this is truely awesome :) any tabs? please

[BlackIroni]

I am not fan of covers...................USUAL­LY............. but boy, your voice sounds so good and perfect for this, even if you are doing it acoustic and alone without power of having big band behind you, you convey the same energy, good job~!

[molllyyyyx3]

instead of butchering this song for me (which most people who do arcade fire covers seem to accomplish) you actually made me appreciate this song about 50 times more.

well done!

[basketcase5295]

@molllyyyyx3 Thanks so much. That was my biggest fear since I love their music so much, I really appreciate it haha.

[stickmanhenry]

this is absolutely amazing man. your voice is so unique, its brilliant.

good to see another person my age listening to this awesome music instead of the junk circulating on the radio.

[basketcase5295]

@stickmanhenry Thanks man! I share the same feelings. It sickens me that some of the best music out there is so outcasted!

[Cambofudge]

you look like sean penn lol

[basketcase5295]

@Cambofudge hahaa. serious? sweet i love sean penn.

[nightangel358]

Pretty amazing closest cover I have heard so fr pretty great voice too

[nightangel358]

Not freaking bad at all but ur voice kinda cracked still badass though

[djStellar]

great cover your voice is amazing

[teokohn]

what guitar are you playing?

[jmwnrght00]

i'm in love. you're incredible.

[jlmwolves]

I've heard a lot of covers of this song, and tried playing a lot of tabs, but none of them sound right! This is the closest I've heard though, it sounds great, and pretty darn close. Did you find the tabs anywhere, or write them on your own, b/c i would love knowing what they are so I could play this song better than what I'm doing now. Peace and love.

[gerardoescamilla]

best cover i've seen around of this magnificent song. good job

[gerardoescamilla]

[cretayu]

brilliant dude! really nice cover!

[basketcase5295]

@morrissey07 ?? im 20

[easylove87]

wrooooong lyrics

[basketcase5295]

@easylove87 how so sir?? please specify

[easylove87]

@basketcase5295

If business men drink my blood.

But they down to him anyway, it's better then being alone.

Now you're knocking at my door saying, "Please come out with us tonight.

[easylove87]

Among others.

[basketcase5295]

@easylove87 your right, but your really nitpicking dude. i did this cover when the song first came out and only heard it a handful of times. if it really really bothers you, you know what you should do? post a cover of the song on youtube. with the correct lyrics. theres your solution.

[Tomoliver09]

@easylove87 actually its against the night, so he got it right.

[basketcase5295]

@Tomoliver09 i knew i read against the night somewhere. i think win has said both live, cause i swear i heard it against the night once.

[Stanscloud]

@basketcase5295

he does in one of the live performances... either way its the best cover ive seen so far for this song.

[easylove87]

@Tomoliver09 Actually, fool, it's not. The liner notes - that's the lyrics inside the booklet that come with the CD when you actually purchase it - are a pretty good place to start. At any rate, in what universe does "please come out against the night," even make sense, not only in the context of the song, but at all? Truth is, it was written on some shitty lyrics website by someone without ears or a brain, and then y'all read it and thought it was right. Case closed.

[PapayaRiah]

Awe. I think you did Arcade Fire justice in this video. Great job!

P.S.- Thanks for the sweet comment on my video.

[TheHumanzie]

Very Very Good. Really makes me want to hear the band do some acoustic versions of their new songs.

[administramation]

Excellent! All you need are those keys, get a friend to do them on the piano, and it'd be one of the best acoustic covers I've heard in a loooong time. : )

[naseoj]

very nice job my friend.
