Alexisonfire - Dead Hearts (Midnight Oil Cover, New 2010)

[TheRedcoatGames]

Alex is on Fire.

*Troll face*

[fitzroy7777777]

I came here half expecting blasphemy, I leave pleasantly surprised. They've managed to change up the song enough to be distinct and somehow more modern, but maintain the essence of the song. Recognisable, but different. Enjoyed by an Oils fan ;)

[Hogey0]

Token douchebag music.

[will006]

I thought it was meant to be said Alexi, son fire.

[TrevorTime24]

This is a good version, but I think I like Peter Garrett's voice better.  The Oils rule!

[dieRumpumpel]

Awesome

[bl00ber99]

is the name Alexis on fire or Alex is on fire?

[sharksindanger92]

@bl00ber99 Alexis on fire...a bit late to be asking that question

[WakeBrandonWake]

@4SCREAMS Lol! who's the bigger band? tell me.. Thanks.

[4SCREAMS]

@WakeBrandonWake justin bieber and lady gaga have a waaay bigger name than anyone band that you consider the best Metal/Hardcore, so Justin Bieber is better than them? Shut up, your fuckin fat faggot. Thanks

[weenarmy]

[mauricio7294]

racist music ¬¬

[necronagga]

@mauricio7294 is just a cover -.-

[mauricio7294]

@necronagga you have made an account to tell me this?

[erinshorty09]

15 people are strictly City and Colour fans :p

[saosin1012]

@erinshorty09 LOL!!!! your comment made my day

[lust94]

rip alexisonfire :(

[JohnZackarias]

I love this cover, but it's "The dead heart", not "Dead hearts".

[drskezzer]

Frenzal Rhombs version shits all over this version

[SeriousRhino]

@drskezzer it's good, but not better.

[eth4n123lawl]

im 13 and i love this, who old is this song, not just this one but also the origionl

[ragmeout]

niagara

[mz7firetiger]

awesome :)

[jamgrieve]

[stefaanBT]

this version is so much better than midnight oils

dallas greeen > Peter garrett

AOF<3

[mardypardy69]

crazy whiteman taking everyone...muhahhaha

[Awsomenick1996]

This song is terrible I like there old stuff better

[h0ldyourbreath]

Love Alexisonfire, Love Midnight Oil. They've done eachother justice. Now I'm gonna casually rape the replay button... :)

[driftz0r]

I hate post hardcore and can't say I'm a big fan of Alexisonfire...but this is an epic cover.

[allnightdwight]

@driftz0r i fucking hate music, especially bands but I LOOOOOOOOOOVE this song. its the only song i like

[Dude2dude02]

why do americans hate on us canadians so much like wtf what did we to u guys all u do is stereotype us all the time when most of u r rednecks

[benny89sandoval]

@Dude2dude02 you say we are stereotyping?????? wth we arent all rednecks asshole! so fuck off

[Dude2dude02]

@benny89sandoval NEVER hhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa u guys r also realy cocky about USA and saying its #1, when most other countrys hate u guys

[blamejews]

the lyrics make no sense if a bunch of Canadians are singing them but whatever it sounds good.

[Lucradym]

@blamejews totally makes sense, we have our own aboriginal people here in the great white north dude

[xXnewbiexninjaXx]

@blamejews don't be a silly goose! teehee ...a little research before posting could go a long way :D

[oddsurfer66]

Gunbarrel Highway would have been hot too. Come back sometime Alexis, reading featival won't be the same without you

[oddsurfer66]

@oddsurfer66 Reading Festival

[emc4lsd]

i think a lot of people are confusing "cover" with "imitate"... midnight oil, great band - great song... alexisonfire - great band - great COVER. this is a great cover....reminds me of when pennywise COVERED land downunder... another GREAT COVER. Peter Garrett should have stuck to making music instead of politics...he ruined what little respect i had left for the Australian Labor Party... Anyway that's another story......

[Wi3dMaN]

only song worth listening to by them

[Drewisonfire4]

You guys absolutely changed my life with your music. I can never thank you enough for what you did for Canada as well. RIP AOF :(

[rob91Harvey]

I hope I never forget this band. They were amazing. Truly gutted I never got to see them live but at the same time love that I still heard their music. One of my favourite bands ever!

R.I.P Alexisonfire!

[AlexisonfirePunkBand]

It's the only band ever !!!!

[KelzZero]

LOVE YOU GUYS FOREVER! <3

[WarOnRealityGaming]

They broke up today :(

[TipAir17]

DL LINK PLEASE!

[Adambobro]

I fucking hate this shit band from St. Shitts, Ontario, but this is a good cover.

[HouseholdDog]

Hand the man a throat lozenge.

Buy him a couple more notes, in his vocal range, too.

[MythBunnyNinja]

@HouseholdDog Hah , there's always worse the main singer from motor head for one he most certainly NEEDS a throat lozenge o.o

[cash89mc]

Love the original, love the cover more! What happened to the indigenous Australian translates to natives in Canada.

[tybo667]

dododododododo

[wellcoboy]

hell these guys are good



[wellcoboy]

oh i love this cover better than original

[sensationaldenny]

Good cover except for the idiot screaming at the end

[echevy1]

Personally I like more this cover then the original personally, But hey to each their own, why do people have to fight, say your piece, but say it in a professional manner, so like don't bash someone else or anything....and in turn you should have the right to not get bashed for your opinion. lol But that is simply wishful thinking. lol

[MrBeerboy182]

On behalf of Australians who aren't ignorant idiots. aka CRUISERBLUE I would like to compliment Alexisonfire on a fantastic cover and compliment to a great Aussie tune. Saw them play this live last year and was wowed. Great song. Great band. Good stuff my Canadian brothers!

[funguy29]

faggy

[StiffyIdol]

I played this cover for my 60 year old father who is a long time MO fan (he's not a fan of screaming in music) but he loves it, put it on his ipod, played it for guys at work, played it for my uncles. He's a hard man to impress, so i think that says something!

[fireproh99]

love it

[OoKrustyoO]

write your own songs, i dont like it. all band only can cover.

[paulhickinson]

@OoKrustyoO are you speaking english ?



[dragonlance667]

@OoKrustyoO it's funny because they don't do many covers herp derp

[logfinrules]

what are people bitching about??!! " this isnt better than the original!" uuuhhh...... yeah....it's a cover, not a competition! It is different from the original song, executed extremely well, with there own spin on it.... Im not a big alexisonfire fan, but this cover is great! I'm glad it is played on the radio.

[farfromu626]

@logfinrules I wish this music was played on the radio down here :(

[paulyman11]

george petit just start to fucking scream normally, there's literally no point of you being in alexisonfire if you're going to be doing clean vocals, you have dallas greene for that.

[redmonstaa]

@paulyman11 The two of them have totally different voices. It still sounds pretty damn good if you ask me. If George left the band, it wouldn't be the same. There's still a huuuuge difference between Alexisonfire and City & Colour. Alexisonfire is more heavy, and great:)

[paulyman11]

@redmonstaa i still like them, i would like them a lot more if he would stop doing this pussy, half ass screaming shit. and i never compaired city and colour to alexisonfire. my point is that he's becoming irrelevant :P

[redmonstaa]

@paulyman11 lol, I understand that. & I know you aren't comparing the two, I'm just sayin', they'd sound like city & colour without George D:

[paulyman11]

@redmonstaa ooooh, alright :P

[cruiserblue]

You are kidding what a disaster of a cover impossible to cover an oils song This band should be embarrassed at this attempt stick to ya own songs and leave our Aussie stuff as it is and as it should be ORIGINAL

[ariadarabi]

@cruiserblue This is as original as it gets. Canadians took your Aussie "stuff" and made it into a Canadian "thing".

[DanGuitar9]

@cruiserblue lol your retarded this is amazing

[RockMetalNirvanaGirl]

@cruiserblue This is not a disaster. It's awesome. Who cares if Canadians covered an Aussie song? NOBODY! So shut the fuck up and enjoy the song, dude.

[ellissa68]

The Original Is much better.....Speeding it up and screaming it don't make it better...blahhhh

[Miranda7211]

original is way better wtf alexus on fire

[hockeypro99jacob]

102.1 THE EDGE.

[Eliot977]

Written by a Great Band and covered by a Great Band.

[MerryChristmas1998]

Dallas Green ROCKS . Thatisall

[phlyeguy]

....BETTER than the original? Perhaps if you have 'dead EARS'...the growling and grunting is sophomoronic, and completely out of character with the original...if he were dead himself, Peter Garrett would be rolling in his fekkin' GRAVE...

Utter nonsense from YET another wannabe band...miss/fail...

[ImStillWinningBro]

@phlyeguy you make no sense; how are they are wannabe band?

[masterbassplayer93]

@phlyeguy yeah as far as I know they're pretty original...

[CHA5ERFACE]

@phlyeguy you sound uneducated.

[bman6661]

@phlyeguy the point of a cover is not to sound like the original. it is to put your own style on the song. they didn't intend it to be better....fekkin'?

[curtyuiop]

@bman6661 , it is better, Midnight oil sounds like weak homos compared to these guys retard...

[bman6661]

@curtyuiop Gotta give them credit for creating the song though

[curtyuiop]

@bman6661 yes, i shall give them credit for that, why didnt you lip me off cause i was being such a prick?

[bman6661]

@curtyuiop Because im not an internet tough guy lol. and i am not really a fan of the original. I just believe in giving the band credit for making a killer song but truthfully alexisonfire made it amazing.

[filolovejoy]

@bman6661 Now this is what I call a great comment. almost as good as this amazing cover..... and honestly speaking, I dont like "screamers" as lead vocals....

[forgottenpassword3]

@bman6661 no they didnt

they just played it defferent

[forgottenpassword3]

@bman6661 good cover tho

[r3n3gade420]

@bman6661 absolutely correct, yes everyone who says the cover "sucks" just doesnt seem to understand this..lol its the main definition behind a cover, to cover the song but implement your band style and genre to it..fuking idiots will never learn instead they are insulted by these covers

[bman6661]

@r3n3gade420 Lol i agree idiots

[r3n3gade420]

@phlyeguy wannabe fail? these guys went from doing gigs at local bars that seated 50 ppl , to a worldwide modern phenomenon you misinformed fuckwad...people all around the world love this band..US, Europe even Australians..and Japan..yes Japan, and originating in Canada where there fanbase is just as big as all these other countries..Peter Garrett would actually appreciate that a band like this would cover his material, its a testament to his creation..

[murf69]

@phlyeguy You're and idiot. And anyway, who the fuck cares what Garrett would think. Hes a fucking traitor and a turncoat.

[Crush40pwns]

@murf69 its angry misinformed ignorant people like you that fuck up the internet for everyone else, those who dont like the video should... hmmm i dunno maybe not watch it?

[murf69]

@Crush40pwns Wtf are you talking about? The person I was talking to deleted their comment . I was defending this cover against some deadshit that said that Garrett would hate this cover. If you knew anything about Garrett and his political career you would have known what I was talking about.

[Crush40pwns]

@murf69 oh lol sorry man i thought u were someone else! You know how it is on youtube, usually angry stuff is aimed at the artist or song,ill double check next time

[phlyeguy]

@murf69 'you're and idiot'? I think your comment speaks, very well and plainly, as to whom the idiot in this conversation is. As for Garret's politics, even if he weren't a better singer than AOF's warblers will...EVER...be, I doubt anyone who wasn't around when the Oils were doing their thing would have a CLUE about the origin of their lyrics. Listen - and support - trashed originals if it tweaks, but that simply speaks to the ignorance - and apparent hearing problems - of said defenders.

[murf69]

@phlyeguy What are you on about lol

[twiddd]

I love it when a cover is better than the original, doesn't happen much. x

[nicshaw90]

@twiddd this is nowhere near the original

[CoolAids69]

@nicshaw90 alexisonfire killls midnight oil on this song, face it,

[vamsterr]

@striax786 FUCK YEAH TRILPLE J FAN!!!

[whitener75]

Actually the song is called "The Dead Heart" - decent cover!

[HxCTim]

Thumbs up if uve been an AOF fan Since the start!!!!!!!!!

[CapnNemisis]

Must... Resist... Troll...

[aashpunk]

OMG look at dallas....hes too fuckin cuteee!!!!! his voice makes my heart meltttttt!!!!!!

<3 <3

[MichelAndre91]

@striax786

102.1 The Edge is the best radio channel ever ! :)

I listen it online, because i live in germany xD

The song is very good, i like it :)

[ltsScarFace]

not a bad cover version at all

[RTeejuggalo1987]

fkn awesommeee toon the edge is the s@#$

[RTeejuggalo1987]

fkn awesommeee toon the edge is the shit

[BoosterBeetle]

Good song. I'd like to see an actual First Nations or Aboriginal front man (or woman) sing this song. It always seems to be a white guy.

[aVeryIntelligentDog]

You know it's funny, I never liked AlexisOnFire until I heard this song. It makes me wonder if I would like their older stuff more...

[aivory616]

@aVeryIntelligentDog yeah bro you would

[r3n3gade420]

@aVeryIntelligentDog i advise you...to listen to their material, very original and very talented musicians

[sirwilliamcan]

Canadian musicians make the good even better!

[dogbone222]

isn't justin bieber a canadian?

[Wishiwasinthe70s]

@dogbone222

Why the fuck did you even mention Bieber here? I think we are all sick of the bieber talk on every single music vid we click on. Just leave it and appreciate the music.

[dogbone222]

@Wishiwasinthe70s wow.... ok

[ZackHendo]

@Wishiwasinthe70s You mentioned bieber too fag. lol

[cfreaper23]

@striax786 Ye ye, so do I. Sick song and sick channel!

[thormx999]

10 people are justin bieber fans..

[invadernik]

@thormx999 not everyone who dislikes rock and metal bands are bieber fans

[spiffd]

Fuck yeah, solid remake of an already solid song.

[alexisonfirefan7]

I want this song soo bad, where can i download it, i tried bittorrent but no luck, help appreciated!

[thormx999]

@alexisonfirefan7 Frostwire! 

[sergioelderaciao]

@alexisonfirefan7 there is a link under the youtube video dude

[sergioelderaciao]

@alexisonfirefan7 there is a link under the youtube video dude but it seems that doesn't work anymore

[migaribeats]

@alexisonfirefan7 google, Youtube2Mp3, should be the top link. lets you turn Youtube Videos into mp3s

[alexisonfirefan7]

cant like this enough

[Lluminari]

Cool.

[ederfeder1]

THE TRUTH PARTY>>>> REVOLUTION IS COMING

[hockeypro99jacob]

THATS FUCKING RIGHT BITCH!!! NIAGARA!!!!!! :D

[Rafire66]

this song wasnt that bad, until Edge passd it almost 24/7 and then you start disliking it...

[vimzibaiegh]

A case where the remake is better than the original. Classic recording.

[BrGut6323]

@striax786 yah!!!! i completely forgot abou this song until the edge started playing it!!!! best song evrrrrr

[ericp1203]

This has to be one of the worst cover in the history of music. Why remake Midnight Oil's classic in this genre? It loses the entire meaning behind the lyrics, and ends as one long 4:00 irritation.

[yourfaceisonfire]

@ericp1203

chill, they did this for us Australians for their tour throughout our states, for whatever reason. to resurrect a classic for us younguns to be aware of as most of us aren't. or to just put some badass to an old aussie classic.

[Ufartedonme]

@ericp1203

How does the genre make it lose it's meaning? The meaning is in the lyrics...

[terryfiant34]

@Ufartedonme

And what a meaning it is. V for resistance

[brokenbrainz1]

@ericp1203 You must be old and irrelevant, this cover rocks.

[TheHologramman]

"Alex on fire" i thought this bands name was at first but regardless alexisonfire i have heard a few albums and are sure up there with the top ten best and have done midnight oil and australia proud

[Luke554a]

Who seriously gives a fuck if there screamo or what genre they fall into just listen to it for what it is not what its labeled.

[Smyth14x]

You guys who are hating on Alexisonfire are forgetting that this isn't one of Alexis' songs, it's a cover! Check out the Dog's Blood EP to hear newer, better stuff by them. Jayzuz.

[CatsGoMoo100]

The picture is SO happy xD ive got it blown up big and hanging on my wall loll it makes me smile everyday. Also this cover freaking OWNS.

[sunlitekid01]

@striax786 OMG me too!!.......this band is from hometown!!!

CANADIEN!!!!
