Punch Brothers (Chris Thile) Heart in a Cage

[merokalula]

i just wan to say that here in El Salvador are a bunch of friends who likes your covers guys! están al mismo nivel que la original!

[JGjammusician]

You guys are right on! Best cover with a twist i've ever listened too!

[zanville1]

I LOVE this video! The very idea of hanna montana heavy metal makes me crack up every time. I don't think there is a better mandolin player still alive then Chris Thile. Is it (Thigh-el) or (Thee-lee). Opinions are all over the place. Love his work regardless!

[deneicee]

@zanville1 It's Thee-Lee. I've seen him live 9 times so far, and he blows me away every time. Just an amazing player.

[Supergreen76]

Chris Thile never disappoints. He is a unique talent and I hope he is around to enrich our lives for a long time to come. Blessings to you and yours Mr. Thile.

[paulieeee1976]

I have seen these guys play live in Mancester England. I hop they come back one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[caroline1697]

3 dislikes...3 jonas brothers...

hmm...suspicious.

[InfinityNZero]

I am shocked... I mean, the regular version is so cool, but I'm shocked that these guys could make a cover in this style and actually pull it off. Wow. Pretty cool stuff.

[boredperson778]

Lmao hes funny

[zipiaro]

strokes song country version. woah~~! \m/

[VonAlb]

Awesome, I love it!!

[idiaftn12]

both the jonas brothers disliked this

[teamgrantkills]

not a single dislike... i wonder why???

[andyandlou]

what an excellent rendition!

[ExpiredRamen]

wtf this is sick

[kisstheesky]

Brilliant

[MHuang1089]

Wow dude nice

[thenewguy461]

Kick ass cover.

[vAbsolution]

Damn Chris is so awesome!!! He has great taste in music, + he's a mandolin virtuoso

[medora4]

AMAZING :)

[KickenItOldSchool]

wow really cool i love how heart in a cage works as this little folk song haha

[1991Martin]

this is better than jonh butler and I like jb but Chris thile is Chris Thile :))

[awagamgnalaw]

looove this (:

so different from the original but still it kicks ass

[jdb8507]

similar to the kind of person who raises such questions about said artist.

either way, good cover, as always.

[reckperfect]

Nice cover, but what kind of douche trashes other musicians when they're not there to defend themselves?

[thebluegrasspicker]

@reckperfect NO, you cant call Miley Cyrus and Jonas brothers musicians. They are not musicians. And what they play is not real music. People like Johnas Brothers and Miley NEVER had to pay their dues or work hard to be recognized. They have ZERO talent. If Miley Cyrus wasn't the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus she would be a NOBODY. Somebody knew how to make money off of them that's all.

[FSO9426]

This is just wonderful! I've probably listened to it around 30 times today!

[FSO9426]

This is just wonderful! I've probably listened to it around 30 times today!

[vivianmari]

this is an amazing cover

[fireyeyedtyrants]

AHHHHH CHRIS THILE IS SUCH A HEARTTHROB...

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

This is one of two great covers of this song I've seen.

Although this IS my favorite Strokes song...

Lightspeed Champion's version comes close to being my favorite.

This one a close third.

I love it when great material spawns great interpretations.

Especially when they get put on YouTube.

:P

[lastsignals]

Nice!  Really good cover.

[venusazem]

well, i usually dont like covers but this one is really good! i cant say that its better then the original, cause no one could make it better then the strokes (sorry, for me are strokes really top). But, it is differrent, so its giving something special to the song and makes it really good

[Jensteph]

The original is the best! The Strokes are the best band ever, and frankly I was disappointed by this. But I do agree with them about Hannah Montana and The Jonas Brothers.

[runyabo]

i love the down home!

[8122911]

seriously.....they just killed the original song with there Hillbilly/Fiddle crap gear and style

[pharmacy4thewell]

@8122911 Then why did you watch the video? You need to learn when to use there/their/they're. Lastly, these guys aren't hillbillies, maybe you're the hillbilly because you don't have an open enough mind to appreciate different genres of music.

[Newgrasskid]

this is a very very good recording. Quality is amazing.

[theantisebby]

I just realized this is a cover. Wow. The original is great too hahaha

[Cornhusk60]

personally....the original sucks......just saying

[preppygal190]

This is sort of a nice calm song to listen to! :)

[ravegirl787]

They just performed at my school tonight! they were awesome!!!! :D

[MercuryClock]

Where at? They were at my school last Thursday.

[ravegirl787]

Earlham college Richmond, in

[04f1001a]

this is best cover of '' heart in a cage'' in I have ever seen!!!

very nice!!!

[fishgutdumper]

Yes! The Jonas Brothers do suck!

[truebloodlusts]

Genius...Pure Genius.

[bbyfresh69]

the strokes have been one of my favorite bands forever, and I'm a mandolin player, so this is the best!

[azzyazzhole41]

i wish there was a way to put a video on repeat.

[CalicoCupcakes]

This is my new fave song.. I have been a little anti-Chris for a while (since I personally think it's his fault NC broke up).. but I have to say this song is awesome. I actually think the banjo is my fave part.

[pianomatteo]

How was it his fault? (I'm just curious) I thought they pretty much all decided that over a decade together exhausted their creative energy. Idk And they technically didn't break up. it's a "haitus"...."Farewell (for now) tour" eh?

[Leshrac92]

It looks like a John Buttler Trio cover :) but it sounds pretty good even I hate country music. Sorry nobody is perfect :)

[deneicee]

Not sure about JBT, but it is a Strokes song.

[Leshrac92]

I know this a Strokes caver thx :) I talk about the style of this cover not about the original song but thx to be on the wrong way :)

[rabbitsfoot1]

speakin of jbt, his new song is f'n horrible. maybe tomorrow is the name. only heard a preview but it sounds terrible

[curveyiu]

bluegrass

[azzyazzhole41]

word. bluegrass does not equal country at all. way better.

[tyrodismyhomeboy]

@Leshrac92 its not country. its bluegrass.

[bigmousepunch]

@Leshrac92 It's not country, it's Bluegrass. So at least be accurate with what you hate.

[kerouac9991]

@Leshrac92 JBT???????????? What? sorely mistaken..... And Country?!?!?! country is the distant inbred cousin twice removed of what this glorious music is. And I'm pretty sure Chris Thile is in fact perfect

[Leshrac92]

@Leshrac92 Sorry but even 2 years after it sounds terrible to me. Like in a far far far far place in the US maybe in Utah or in the middle of the Texas I don't know but for me it's a cowboy music and I don't like it. I have the right to express myself sorry for all the integrists who send me messages since 2 years.

[Supergreen76]

@Leshrac92 While I don't agree with your opinion that the music sucks. I do think you have the right to express your opinion without being hassled. I hope that someday our manners evolve with our technology and that in 20 years the comment threads on Youtube have a distinctly more CIVILIZED feel to them. Cheers!

[frankblanigan]

god bless that man and his jonas hatin ways!

[saintbones77]

And just who do you think you are? I got news for you, you're not clever! Chris Thile is a god among musicians, you should really learn to respect those who have earned world records with their dexterity, not to mention numerous music awards for song writing. Oh and just one more thing, if you aren't going to appreciate anything that doesn't sound exactly like the original version of the song, why are you watching cover videos?

[YoHuckleberry]

I agree saint. He probably likes the Jonas brothers. Un-cultured swine.

[AdventRedXIII]

man this is lame, STROKES RULE!

[Weefaloo]

roflmao!! nice

[sarahxboxbeara]

LOL. I am so glad he said that.

The Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana SUCK.

Love the Strokes cover!
