Elliott Smith cover - New monkey

[dreamsleeper]

I like this!

[trumpeteerTralala]

Great stuff. You guys do the song justice. Keep it up.

[AnastasiaExpert]

It might not be perfect but the fact that you cover Elliott Smith really kicks ass and makes it awesome.

[theesproject]

thank you...:) That's really the spirit of this tribute...

[Clifurd]

Although I must say that I hope that, that guy isn't usually the singer, You were off key throughout the whole song almost. The band did a pretty excellent job with the music though, let me know if you need vocals.

[theesproject]

You're right dude...we tried to do this song even knowing that our vocals weren't sufficient to do it. Sometimes passion speaks louder...hope you forgive us about the imperfection. And yes, we always need vocals...tell me how can we make something together :)

[LLawliet133]

I definitely see the passion in what you're doing. It's nice to see a group of people really enjoying Elliott's music and playing it quite well, might I add.

[Clifurd]

Naw man you guys pretty much had it dead on. It was very well done, No one can match vocals perfectly. Elliott had a wide scale of vocals and the way he spoke is hard to match. Maybe I'll get to see you guys do another song!

[seeknshangrila]

It's rather uninteresting when you copy the song instead of covering it with your own style.

[kaytizzzl3]

dont be jealous.

[seeknshangrila]

dont be offended.

[Clifurd]

If they would have covered the song the way you said, I and many other people would have been pissed. You shall never try to alter any of Smith's music. If they would have played this song and changed it a bunch it would have been terrible and unrecognizable.

[theesproject]

This was a cover band...a tribute band to say better. :P

[rafael1188]

this is a really good cover. I dont know why dude was bashing on the vocals, because they sound great.

[theesproject]

Thanks man...:) For us what's more important is to integrate Elliott's fans and remember again the great work of this true genious of out time :P

[LLawliet133]

Awesome.

[theesproject]

You're welcome!!

[amycrielaard]

that was pretty alright

anything is better than nothing!

[theesproject]

We think in the same way...thanks!!

[Rennfahrer555]

Man i just came across your groups videos...this is really good. where are you guys based? i love playing ES covers! Shoot me a PM if you would like to share tabs/chords or jam sometime! I play drums and guitar

[xteasty]

mad props to the tre guitar...elliott did it with one! one guitar! you're not elliott!

wah wah wah!

[theesproject]

Thanks for reminding us we're not Elliott... we would never know if it wasn't for you dude!!! :P

[Flipperdoodles]

Elliott recorded both guitar parts separately, not the same time. Don't knock these guys. The fact that they listen to Elliott's music makes em great let alone attempting his songs. Good work, theesproject. Peace amongst all Elliott Smith fans please!

[theesproject]

That's the spirit man...:) thanks for your words of peace!!

[theesproject]

:) thanks

[fcool]

i don't like covers that are just the same song played by other people... elliott already did it... make your own version of it

[theesproject]

This is our version of it :P

[fcool]

nah, it's still elliott's version played by you... dare to change something, take a risk

[yousuperpussy]

come on... be serious if they did you'd be shouting "blasphemy!", why don't you take you own advice?

[fcool]

seems like you would ever know me

2 of the many songs i like a lot´:

madelein peyroux's cover for btw the bars and beck's cover for ballad of big nothing.

i'm serious about it

[theesproject]

I agree...those are great versions that does justice to the original work :P

[itsjose]

do you guys play it wrong on purpose or is it just cause you're in standard?

[theesproject]

I think a little of the two possibilities...you can interpret as you wish :)

[sk8tolive123]

Nice cover.

[m1xolyd1an]

sweet practice area

the cover is cool too

[BalmainBoy]

You've certainly got Elliott's poor singing down pat, but none of his charm.

[Beasty12]

Hey don't hold back, say what you think.

[deafkarma1]

hey that was really good guys everything sounded pretty awesome.

some constructive criticism: show yer bassist what yer playing he gets off pretty often.

[theesproject]

Thanks for the criticism bro...in fact our bass player is missing a lot of rehearsals lately...he's basically playing just the main notes, learning them in the moment we met at the studio...lol we're giving him a hard time already...:P
