[The7Evanator]

Can't be long before we annex NZ anyway......

[EnterTheFenix]

@The7Evanator Luckily for us you dont have the military capability..and also because i dont wanna add 'O' onto the end-O of every word-O

[JDMfrog180]

always come back to listen to this song amazing!

[09OohLala]

YEAHHHHH BUDDYYYY

[TaaLeeYaa]

i love his voice & how he plays guitar :) mad respect jah-bless c:

[ferretlover3331]

@TheNzhustla We don't hate eachother! Where did you get that completely false misconception? We secretly love eachother. It's just a brother/sister relationship. We tease eachother, as a sign of our love.

[cpgelvar]

this the best cover i have ever seen of this song!

[honan91]

he has some pretty hectic tats

[glebereds]

Nice work. I like the way you rearranged it and used the chords of every bro and freshie's fave guitar jam- No Woman No Cry (and then the little homage in the middle), nice cuz.

[s2561828]

Absolutely killed it.

I'm nz blooded, born and raised in aus. The differences we claim are nothing, best two countries in the world...

[Gunther1990]

gota love the home grown kiwi artists got their own unique style and is jus mint.

[BCautious94]

yeh bro ANZAC fucking pride.

NZ and islanders can smoke a fat blunt with me anyway.

[o0timothy0o]

@TheNzhustla DUDE! We don't hate eachother! it's just like siblings fighting, i've never met an australian who genuinely hates NZ.

[TheYoSai]

Best cover done by Graig David mean Vocal Stylez Check it out urself......1

[xxSHARMOxx95]

@TheNzhustla dude when did we ever hate eachother? more like friendly competition

[MrRumpig1989]

fuck yeah i got the goose bumps

[Thompsonbruh]

Wish I Had The Tab For This!

[surfblades]

Tiki Taane was born in Christchurch New Zealand, he used to be in a group called Salmonella Dub but then left. He's New Zealand born and bred and currently still lives in New Zealand. We don't hate Aussy fellaz, they be our Anzac Bruthas !!! We just love competition in the sports and hate their accents hahaha... They got heaps of HOT Chicks too Brah!

New Zealand Represent

Anzac Represent

2011

[drtysthking]

@surfblades hell yeah bro, respect

[bleak213]

@surfblades What a cool dude you are... I feel the same way man! ANZAC! Many people hate on Aussies and many Aussies hate on NZ'rs. United we stand, divided we fall!

[robskez]

sent chills down my body man, you are the man bro!! keep your stuff coming out, we're all waiting!! well I am anyway!

[TheBetterLugg]

It's just unfair that people in the general public would see someone like Tiki and automatically judge him from his image, but they would then go home and turn the radio on and here his beautiful voice backed up by his lovely personality and they would never even know what he looks like.

[tearoha96]

& also did a spectacular job

[tearoha96]

I love triple j & made my day when one of my favourite artists did like a version.

[sEVEnOFNine2348]

[beno27689]

[hayds85]

@Edgrr too bad the singer is kiwi

[TheRyder828]

@hayds85 like 2 see u do better!! oh wait u properly cant even sing hahaha

[WasabiiBarbii189]

@Edgrr Australia? LOL. Tiki Taane is from New Zealand!

[bersaba]

@WasabiiBarbii189

Yes, but he was on Triple J (Australia) doing Like a Version (a Triple J concept). Think that was his point, not the artist themselves.

[bersaba]

@Edgrr

Yeah it's bad ass. Universal health care, decent public education system, fucking boat people.... oh wait.

:-D

[hutuguru81]

@Edgrr hell yeah we do man! 

[bobthemonkey08]

@hutuguru81 you mean "hell yeah we do *mate*" right? ;D

[motherfucker734]

@Edgrr cause america sucks donkey balls bruh

[wedindaman]

@motherfucker734 I'm american and just was in NZ..and Sydney for a bit. For someone that thinks America sucks donkey balls you sure have our influence everywhere. The main radio station in Christchurch played almost exclusively american hip hop. Crud...nearly all the things on TV were american. So we must be doing something right huh? By the way...I LOVED New Zealand. Beautiful country, beautiful people, crazy drivers though.

[wedindaman]

@motherfucker734 You ever cook a crab buddy? One always has a chance to escape, but the ones at the bottom keep trying to pull it down so none ever escape. Sounds like you pal. If you're a Kiwi don't ruin my good impressions of your people.

[catierandall]

i like how he gave it a reggae beat.

[xiberkat23]

this reminds of bob marley laid back version.

[bubblemybum]

[tikidub]

@Dankshasta - yeah hes a rock dude... pretty average version rock dude.... i see better at just about any open jam in any prison....

[suuperstylin]

Are Ashton acustic any good people seem to he hating on them

And just say an Ashton was like a real good one around 800 bucks would that be an ok acustic ??? Lol guitar help please

[tikidub]

Hey dude its Tiki Taane here, that Ashton was pretty crappy and hard to play but it was tha only one in tha studio! it was just sitting in tha corner collecting dust. I had to use that Ashton becoz my guitar had a broken locking pin, and broke in tha 1st take we did. I play Takamine guitars live and they are awesome! this Ashton was hard work but thank goodness there was a guitar there, otherwise i couldnt play tha track. Peace

[Tamarikoa1]

@tikidub LOL..... i love my Taki as much as i love your tunes :)

[maximusrvb]

@Nofreinds1 no, 800$ for an acoustic is a low-mid range guitar

[margovandy]

dope

[jmzis]

doctor your such a sellout

[twelfthmanau]

@jmzis too true, and possibly the worst interviewer ive ever heard.

[narcissus79]

@twelfthmanau yah.. The doctor and Robbie Buck were 2 of the worst dj's to ever grace the JJJ airs. Glad at least one of them is gone..

[Steiny888]

[nvsd270]

work it out yourself not that hard, even just watch

[JakeTommoTW]

does anybody know if i can find a tab for it anywhere?

[flybydatsun]

@JakeTommoTW So you can use youtube but can't use a search engine to find tabs??

[JakeTommoTW]

@flybydatsun no its not that, just this specific version. I can find a tab for the song anywhere , its to do with the way he played it here

[huyfken1]

@JakeTommoTW the chords are C (barre on 8th fret), Em (barre on 7th fret), and F

took me 2 mins to work that out

[chgrp]

try em7.

[AdiBabasea]

LOVES iT TO THE MAX!! ..

More reggae indeed!!!

[DeDickeCarlO]

first kings of leon cover I like

he's not trying to sing like the actual singer which is good since he has a very special voice which belongs to the song so it cant be replaced by anybody just like that

but nice job on this one :D

[scorpiondeux]

this is so incredibly awesomely fantastically orgasmically perfect.

[leandersonguitar]

Just FANTASTIC !!

[MyNewFav]
