  • if you didn't know, this is jonah mantranga from far, chino took vocal lessons from jonah and was in FAR, deftones opened for them many times. Chino and Jonah are tight friends.

  • Ha! I was at this show! He was supporting Thursday!

  • He's doing a cover of the Acoustic version.

  • DAMN! your voice is so similars to his

  • you drive me so far away, i just be quiet and feel.

  • and who the hell is that guitarist making those sounds, holy crap

  • @KtothePbaby His support guitarist is Ian Love, the guitarist from Rival Schools.

  • Think this is gd, check this - Emma gillespie - change in the house of flies

  • @snickdesnick holy shit! that cover is awesome!

  • I don't consider these guys bad singer/musicians but, to quote another Deftones song, you've seen the butcher....

  • what? where's the rock in this one? seems like he's singing to a bunch of girls. haha, i thought it was gonna be good.

  • great cover by his own style so great the voice also like Bono ( U2 )

  • wow, really good actually, check out beesideprojects acoustic cover if you wanna hear something amazing

  • wow, really good actually

  • One of the only bands to cover Deftones and not fuck it up. Nice.

  • Does anyone have any idea what effects/pedals the electric guitarist might be using?

  • @tirefire2009 sounds like an ebo to me

  • best obeh ever!!!!!

  • This is one of the best covers of this song ever!!!

  • best cover ever....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • One of my favourite singers in the world singing one of my favourite songs by the best band in the world. Love you Jonah - Deftones forever.

  • What the fuck is this?? I'm sorry but I didn't like this rendition of Be Quiet and Drive. There was no rising action it just stayed constant throughout the whole song and half the time I had no fucking clue where the hell he was. I'll give him credit for trying to make his own version but to me it was just crappy and it ruined the song.

  • is it not wierd how hes playing an electric guitar, but it sounds lik an acoustic? just saying, but not a bad cover

  • @synastergates5 He must have piezo pickups in the bridge then cuz they do that to a guitar's sound

  • of course jonah nails it. He is the guy singing it on the deftones b-sides record. He sang for far which is also from sacto and toured with the deftones alot. you guys should do more studying....

  • @rogerroger1138 Well said. He is an amazing singer and Far is a fantastic band. He is also a close personal friend of Deftones, plus an especially kind and cool guy with all he''s done for Chi. Plus if you listened, you'd hear that Jonah and Chino made this version together.

  • awesum cover !!!

  • too much talk...

  • I was liking the serene thing he had going on.

    Long time Deftones fan and I was just wanting him to scream and BAM

    wish came true! That was sick lml^w^lml

  • how is the second guitar playing-technique called? could anyone tell? it just fits the piece i am working on right now.

  • @burmafej heyy!!! the guy on the 2 guitar is using an e-bow with some reverb on it ;)!!!

  • fuck this guy nails it!

  • this cover just gave me chills

  • great interpertation of a classic song

    Indeed

  • this was a good version

  • iam happy to see it had only 17k views when i first saw it, now its 100k, what the solo guitarist's main effect? i mean what kind of delay reverb etc

  • what kind of pedals is the other guy using? just a delay? i want to mess around with some sounds like that :D

  • @Davidicus400

    Most likely an e-bow, a volume pedal and a delay pedal.

  • @xTheOxx

    I believe you're right on the money. E bows are so under-rated.

    I hear some chorus and reverb too.

    This version is equally as good as the original.. Apples and Oranges.

  • definitely a good singer, but this song needs to rock!! don't turn it into a radiohead unplugged version... nothing against radiohead, love the band.

  • Amazing cover.

  • heaps good version

  • Deftones still make it sound better. Deftones, most unique Band to ever walk this planet. Booyah!

  • never heard on one line drawing but its good

  • Wow! This really brings out the original in a deeper more subtle way!

  • does somebody knows wich guitar the singer uses? semi acoustic

  • @dtonesguy

    u shure? because in the vid he's saying he wrote this version with chino... ("me and chino made this weird little version of one of my favorite songs of theires") wich means this was already their song before he wrote his version (togheter with chino) of the song. But I don't know where you got that information, maybe yur right.

  • I'm not sure about that man..

  • Ummm, I think you mean "FAR" was the name of the band...not "Drive"...

  • i love jonah, i love far,i love deftones and bqad, nd i really like this cover but their are some parts i dont like wat jonah does with the vocals

  • This version is very very very horrible. shut up shut uppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp please.

  • this is the acoustic version found on the rarities cd.. and also on the be quiet and drive singles.. LOVE this song. LOVE this version too

  • You're a moron...like already said...he helped write this - Chino and this guy.

  • its the acoustic version used in little nickey!

  • awesome cover

  • Nothing on the original

  • for real...

  • you'd be wrong

  • he wrote this version with Chino, if you aren't deaf or retarded you would have picked up on that.

  • this is really good =]

  • This guy's and Chino's voice are almost equal in terms of emotion for this song. Very good cover. You don't get alot of good covers like this.

  • john mayer, get out of my fucking car asshole.

  • hes talking so much cuz the other guy is still tuning.

  • this version is haunting like waking up hungover in love but yet painfully inspired...u kno it feels like a regretfully happy semi morning in cali somewhere.....i dunno i love this version..

  • Wow i totally know what you mean.....beautiful choice of words...There is nothing like the morbid sound of chino morenos voice though. =]

  • thank u i forgot i commente on this song....

  • OOOOOOOOOHHHH I just caught it was the singer of Far. I love FAR! That explains everything! It was comfy hearing him cover it and normally someone wouldn't be able to cover this :p

  • Where can I download this? I like it but not the shoutouts. It was a surprisingly good coverish song. I wouldn't call it a cover, but I want it.

  • u suck, moron

  • anyone know what type of guitar jonah is playing?

  • amazing cover song very well done, have been a deftones fan 4 yrs can see that jonahs put alot of soul in2 this song well done sir

  • Jonah's voice is a little more haunting than Chino's, damn good cover though.

  • wow this is pretty good

    too bad he talks so long at the beginning

  • thts jonah for ya haha, fuckin love jonah and all his bands and DEFTOOOONNNEESSSSS

  • el estilo de estos chicoas apesta

  • good work!!!

  • ka panget!!!!

  • Keep the negativity to yourself, wonderful song, great version, you are not a deftones fan, or a far or shaun lopez fan, go listen to your nkotb records and leave art alone

  • perdoooon, todo no tiene que gustarme, si me gusta deftones, y esta version es mala definitivamente, no me gusta, que te guste a vos es otra cosa

  • sabes que chino escribio este version? a mi me encanta.. parece los deftones con un poco de team sleep. todos tenemos derecho de opinion :)

  • Yup I definitely clicked the wrong video.... FTS talk about crap

  • WTF, love what they did with the song, hot damn.

  • viaaaaaado da porra! musica de EMO, cara nao canta nem toca porra nenhuma, fica soh gritando q nem uma marica, um LIXO!!!! nem assistam essamerda...

    desafinado pra caraaaaaaaaaaaleo, soh caga a musica d todo mundo pq eh incapaz d fazer musdica boa, entao soh caga na dos outros

  • hasta la misma mierda

  • mas penca la wea chupa la verga

  • Try and imagine the "emo" music scene without Jonah? It wouldn't have happened. the end-----

  • No disrespect to Far, but seriously? DC had emo covered with or without him.

  • yeah, I'm sure the DC scene was poppin' fresh way back in '94.

  • '94? Try '84.

  • riiiight.....

    Laugh Out Loud!

  • beautiful...!

  • love that shit...jonah is amazing

  • i really dig his green guitar..

  • shoe gazing ftw.

  • nice voice

  • SHIT !

  • wow amaazing voice he has !

  • just shut up and sing...!!

  • you mean be quiet and sing :D

  • HAHAHA

    LOL

  • @AenimasEulogy HA HA RIGHT

  • hehe ! :D

  • I LOVE DEFTONES! I LOVE FAR!

  • DEFTONES is the shit

    but this guy is good tho... far is back together i think... they just did a cover of PONY...

  • he used to be in a band called far in the mid 90's. they were pretty good when they broke up he started doing a lot of solo stuff under the name one line drawing

  • Who is this guy? I cant find anything about this video and people in it...

  • title says one line drawing, genius

  • No shit sherlock, but i can't find any cds or online music from a band called oneline drawing.

  • Did you find the Far and Onelinedrawing CD's?

    You can just search both band names on iTunes, bro! That guy/girl above you was being a complete retard so I went and checked for ya! The singer's name is Jonah Matranga and he's a badass. Have a good one!

  • Thanks man!

  • You're very welcome. :-)

  • Then you're not looking very hard.

  • onlinedrawing, with no spaces. check out his other band Far. pretty cool stuff.

  • listen to the album Far - Water & Solutions

  • i love jonah

  • as opposed to when YOU'RE on stage telling people about YOUR multi year musical journey, right?

  • Yes, correct.

  • this version of be quiet and drive is on their album B-sides & rarities

  • 1:02 canta hijo de puta!!

  • emm eso que wey?

  • se demora tanto! hace un intriduccion de un minuto

  • Yeah really, sometimes I just want them to start the damn song!

  • wait nevermind i wrote that before i listened to the whole thing. just the way it is all slow at the beginning i have that version.

  • correct me if im wrong but i think deftons put that version on mini-maggot(back to school) but you are right they initially demo'd it slow

  • i have heard this version before. Its a Deftones rare song it was supposed to be the way the song was originally. I am 100% positive cause i just listened to it on my computer yesturday.

  • I think this is a great interpretation of the song, obviously it doesnt sound as great as if it were recorded in a studio. But, this version cleaned up and recorded in a better environment would probably be kick ass.

  • Nice of you not to try to copy the original. Good sport.

  • ah, it doesn't do it for me.. nice try tho

  • great cover nothing like chinos but a cross of chevelle and apc which is awesome in my opinion

  • didnt a member from far go on to form chevelle?

  • Nope. The 3 members of Chevelle are related to each other. The guitarist from far went on to form a band called "The revolution smile". He also helped the deftones produce a track or 2 on one of their newer albums.

  • ah i knew the guitarist went on to form revolution smile, there is a connection to chevelle and far but not sure what it is, or it could just be me haha

  • very good

  • this is amazing...

  • the vocals are very clever, this sound/song would have been great for the movie "The Beach" w/ leonardo dicaprio . .. those who have seen it. . .im sure can agree.

  • hmmm got a point there

  • i hate leonardo dicaprios acting so i disagree, he seems like the sort of trashy actor who would not appreciate deftones.

  • is it not maybe a volume pedal with delay that he is using????????

  • this version of the song rocks!

    gotta love his voice too!

  • Far, right?

  • Tonight, Far, West Hollywood.  See you there!!!!

  • bleah ;x

  • I like there take on the song.

  • Interesting cover. I like it.

  • I love the backguitar distortion! I hope Chino can hear this version and put the same backguitar distortion, with is voice it would be even more awesome.

  • tnx for posting! Jonah does a great job covering this amazing song.

  • Nice cover!

  • what kind of "gadget" did that guitarist guy from the left used ?!!! anyone?! ^^,)

  • its called an ebow, sends like a magnetic signal and vibrates the strings, sounds like a violin/synth. Sounds fucking sweeet here!

  • EBOW...thanks i learned from you... if i have that i can cover deftones song even without a "frank delgado"( DJ) on it!!!...gracias ehartwell84!

  • its called an ebow, sends like a magnetic signal and vibrates the strings, sounds like a violin/synth. Sounds fucking sweeet here!

  • hahahahhh! why do you repeated the answer twice?

  • you can do the same thing without the e-bow. Buy a Fernandes with a Sustainer pickup inside. It's more easy and comfortable. =D

  • is this the version people confuse for the radio head version?? this one is good.. but you kno chino killsd it.. like i get a emotional serge when he sings it.. like i can cry or smile or venge off my anger to someone or something that deservs it

  • Love this version, been a Deftones fan since day one, and something about this version makes you really feel the song. Love it.

  • I'm going to have to check out this guy's stuff with Far. It's amazing how haunting this song can sound when done acoustically, excellent singing and especially great background noise!

  • This town dont feel mine I'm fast to get away-FAR I dressed you in her clothes Now drive me far - away, away, away It feels good to know your mine Now drive me far - away, away, away FAR away I dont care where just FAR - away [x3] And I dont care FAR - away And I dont care where just FAR - away [x3]
  • dayumm i kno that was hard to play

  • i think he covered the version with incubus...

  • Deftones first put out that version on a video a long time ago, and then they later did it with Incubus. They did cover that version though.

  • Wow, deftones aren't easy to cover but they did a pretty good fucking job :D

  • its really hard to hit chino's notes but this guy takes it to a new level props!

  • Man is that the dude from Rival Schools playing the soundscape stuff!!???
