Still Ill (Smiths cover) Arcade Fire

[kitonn90]

this is a great cover, no matter if his voice doesn't sound like morisseys's voice. This is a cover, and isn't supposed to be like a Morissey's incarnation

[chacho6011]

it sounds good and you know it!!

[Diskotraxxxxx]

i love arcade fire and i LOVVVVE the smiths but im not in love with this cover :/

[AshmanGT]

Good crack at the guitar riffs. Can't say I'd do better.

[howsoonisnow93]

It sounds too much like the original. And the singer doesn't capture the feeling of the song. And there are too many instrument players on the stage. Those are my only complaints.

[Fends]

Well done! Morrissey likes it - as I heard! :)

[EvilEmpireStudios]

NO just NO

[MrHumphreyDavy]

The gang vocals are terrible other than that, pretty good cover.

[Mitcg]

Listening to this cover makes me ill.

[StoneyX213]

fuckin fail lol

[bababoum]

obviously no-one beats The Smiths but this is a good cover.

[simonsaintgilles]

Musically a good cover but I'm just not feeling his vocals on this.

[joseitsme]

Only Morrissey guys, only Morrissey.

[JoddTamison]

i feel bands should only cover smiths if they can hit morrissey's notes, they shoulda just did joy division (prob atmosphere by the looks of win butler)

good band, prob the joy division of indie pop (which is very good to be compared to JD) but terrible cover mates

mncr

[MrFightinghellfish]

great cover. and i dont even like these guys.

[caseyramone]

not my cup of tea

[PastPrinciple]

I really think this is a good cover. I Love The Smiths. I Love Arcade Fire. great to combine the two

[satchmodan]

I don't particularly care for this cover, but I give this band kudos for having good enough taste in music for wanting to cover The Smiths.

[cvs84]

Don't focus on the quality, focus on the fact!!

[thequagmire421]

do the people deriding this cover have a clue about the mechanics of performing music? I can't help but think you're all entirely too preoccupied with the image and mystique of Morrissey to enjoy a fantastic band performing a classic Smith's song with conviction

[dirkbogarde44]

5 out of ten and i like them.

[IndieMusicFan13]

0.o Smiths + Arcade Fire= the merging of two of the most important musical acts of all time, and two of my absolute favorite. Why didn't I know this existed before? I'm suprised this sad world didn't implode of an overdose of awesomeness all at once.

[Jackwell1029384756]

only morrissey can sing songs morrissey wrote

[iesus68]

I like their Smiths version, but I still prefer Arcade Fire playing guns of brixton because was quite different than the original. 

[bassplayer1617]

why the fuck does everyone think this sucks? The Smiths are my favorite band in the entire world and I think this is an awesome cover

[ddubs123]

At least Win looked really happy performing it.

[evelskunny]

music aint bad,but he is not even close to a Morrisey,not even in the same realm,

[zweiosterei]

Butchers!

[Damalycus]

Not great.

Or maybe it's just the recording's sound?

[TheUntouchablezzzzz]

I just died a bit...... that was bad.

[Dguillotine]

the top two comments are contradictive

[taila1976]

arcade fire and The Smiths doesn't fit for me.

[OToMb]

respect to Arcade Fire for their taste in music :)

[UnderTheAffluence]

@YaSoshlaSUma95 It's a lesser of several evils.

[jprigotto]

such a beautiful cover

[bvrzum]

good choice, guitar is ok

[chrlskrkl]

really good cover they got the guitar part just right

[mistergrin]

Any band has no business covering a bloody great song, no matter how good they think they are.  I think it's just blasphemous and maybe even arrogant to even think they can come as close to the original band who sang and played the song.

[utubes4noobs]

AWFUL

[ymechaie]

2 of my 3 favourite bands in one video

[MrStelord]

bloody awful

[michelcollet]

Fuckers. Don't cover the Smiths

[SERPENTSEEKER]

Arcade Fag

[Zfagster]

Arcade Fire covering The Smiths :D Awesomee!

Friggin Bombaliciouss <3

[fadeintoyou77]

I dunno, i'm not buying Win Butler as a tortured soul.

[rubezmess1]

Morrissey is god and the only potential man to replace him is ian curtis

[Nigelxman]

God this is fucking horrible. lol Why just why? 

[LIZnumber10]

I love how the crowd adds in the ohs

[nokturnal5647]

I don't think this is a shit cover, certainly not as good as The Smiths, but they still did it justice.

[markieowen4eva]

My two favourite bands of all time :)

[Angrynudfo]

I actually think his voice sounds really good for this style of music.

[extracashnow]

Horrible!

[kat9213]

i like arcade fire, but there's nothing to compare with morrissey's voice. at least he could have danced like morrissey (:

[epr01pk]

No way, this is amazing.

[chrlskrkl]

HOLY SHIT the smiths and arcade fire i shat myself

[kildunne]

lost all my love for them

[ilolindafaceofdanger]

cunts

[MrThisisolidixon]

This made me fall in love with Arcade Fire a bit more.

[videoboooman]

When will people learn to never cover the Smiths

[peterpuck365]

@videoboooman Strange, isn't it? Though Morrissey sure hasn't a great voice (and be assured that I absolutely love The Smiths), few artists dare to cover their songs. And fewer still manage to come out with decent versions (either they're exactly alike, or they're a complete mess).

[ZeroYuuki17]

@videoboooman I completely agree. Lol! But you have to give credit to Arcade Fire for having The Smiths as inspiration. I would, if I could sing. XD

[StripedWhiteJet]

@videoboooman /watch?v=OrgKtFVKTmI

[DocSandwiches]

@videoboooman you heard the cover of headmaster's ritual by radiohead? Fucking awesome.

[thegoldenarmkid]

@videoboooman Thank you, I have never heard one that has work at all.

[RainbowsAndSwaztikas]

@videoboooman Apparently you haven't heard Radiohead's Headmaster Ritual cover.

[Hamiltroll]

Inmense!!

[cazishere]

Thank you for uploading this!! x

[morbius13]

wow, that was dope..
