I think a lot of people with negative comments are coming at this thinking you are going for the exact sound of Alk3. Regardless, good shit guys. Keep em coming. ;)
Hi Emma!!! what a curious thing... Im talking to Emma Watson,!!! Isnt that interesting... Jajaja, well, enough stupidities... I was just passing through, and thought i would be a great idea to salute so... HI!!!
that's a pretty brilliant cover... my only advice would be to try and vary the vocal rhythms... there are notes that feel they're held on too long, but aside from that... amazing :D
I really thought the change in time signature was interesting. Everyone mentions the pop filters, and that is a good suggestion, although the pops aren't terribly intrusive. I've been becoming a fan of some of trio's slower stuff, and this is an interesting take on one of my favorite songs. Good show!
you guys should get a pop filter for your microphones.
other than that, i thought it was really good. i like when covers sound like the original song, but have their own style at the same time. this definitely did both.
That's the difference between a cover, and "playing someone else's song"... if you want it to sound exactly like Alkaline Trio, why not just listen to the original?
How the hell does this sound like them? Maybe this has the same sound as like...the song good fucking bye, but that is just Matt Skiba, it isnt even alkaline trio .
Alkaline Trio happens to be my favorite band, and incidentally this is my favorite song. I would naturally be overly critical of the song because of that, however, I thought this version was very beautiful. Very well done.
Mate could you do me a favour and post me the tab for this please? My band love this song and would like to play it as a warm up thing :) I can't get hold of a good tab so far, thanks if you can :)
thank all of you guys so much. the pure fact that people actually listen to our crap yet means a lot to us. and being lauded for that shitty singing is something we never expected, really a big THANK YOU!
i think its intended (i don't know i think before any arse tries to tell me i don't know) to be 6/8 time. you can hear the guitar playing 123, but, having tried, it is possible to count 6/8 in 4/4, i like it though, good to see you've put your own minds in
at first i didnt really like it, and just thought it would sound a lot better in the right time. but i dont know.. by the end i was really liking it slower. especially the chorus. good job for making me change my mind, haha. :)
actually the vocals are far from being amazing (but im very grateful anyway :D ) and unfortunately we dont have any own tunes. also since my fellow "band"member resides in auckland nz (which is quite far away from good ol germany) its unlikely that there will be songs at any time soon.
In that theory you can count practically any song in 4/4...or in 6/8 if you count faster. It's about finding rhythm. The original is in 4/4. This one is in 6/8. That explains why this song sounds so fresh.
damn good cover, guys. the video was kinda gay at parts. would have made me much more happier if it would have stayed like the intro to it. what with the creepiness and all. but great job on the actual song.
after 40 seconds i was sure that he is german...cause i m german too and i m ashamed, cause our accent is horrible :D anyway, good cover!!
