AFI - Song 2 (cover)

[SpiritFanNumber1]

The original artist's version is better? NO SHIT. That's how it usually goes, stop making pointless "Blur's is better" comments. This is AFI, not Blur. Jesus Christ.

[musicgirl1092]

wow how many covers of this song are there

every band i like plays it

[korea148]

i've never seen that somebody can sing this song like gay

[lanoviadepetedoherty]

D: fuck you

[joshygin]

the most covered song ever done very well

[TheBlackParadeGirl11]

they played it a little to fast, but who cares?

[katF00D]

why do all these emo bands keep covering this song?... lmao i don't get it..

p.s. that guy looks like a fuckin junkie..

[DepressionRomantik]

afi 4 ever!~

[cowgirlskickass7628]

@AdiChomsky I totally agree with you. MCR's version kicks ass:D

[grlz81]

blur´s version... always!

[narcinoddy]

Nice recording not

[prizefighter50]

you have to remember while listening to this that it is a poor recording of a live performance. the guitar might not have been as overpowering in person, and how can you judge his singing? you can barely hear it to make a fair appraisal.

[AdiChomsky]

i like mcr's version more.

[Charli3sfactory]

@snerfsnerfman

I´m not saying that is sacrilege to cover a song but seriously man, if you do a cover, then do it well. You can do it in a different way ( that doesn´t mean worse or better) and not kill the original. Are you fan of this group anyway?

[totallybossxb]

the third eye blind/akg is the best live cover ive seen

[Allureist]

mcr and afi cover the same songs. xD

[Charli3sfactory]

emo people shouldn´t play such epic songs like this one, and yes, it makes you wanna cry!

[AdiChomsky]

@Charli3sfactory oh fuck off.

[Charli3sfactory]

@AdiChomsky

Yes, why don´t you do a favour to the world and cut your veins like all your trash peoplE?

[xMikeTheRipper]

@Charli3sfactory relax buddy. its only a song.

[RANDOMCATS100]

@Charli3sfactory there punk not emo they just had some fail songs and you dont know what emo is so stop listining to music and stop being such a troll

[holocausticity]

they raped this song and the song didn't like it :(

[YarPi19]

fag bands like afi and mcr shoudln't remake and rape such a great song...

[MCRfan1967]

MCR's is better you can't here the singer that well plus i agree with Rolo7hot7Chic hes trying to hard...............

[OkamiUsaretama]

I think AFI definately did a better cover of Jack the Ripper than MCR, but MCR's cover of Song 2 is better than AFI's.

[Chintendoeddman]

The my Chemical Romance cover was bad, this was too bad ( the guitar was to loud), Blur's was the best

[ChrisP6789]

i like MCR's version and AFI's

[VectorDex]

these guys suck now. we miss your punk music guys. son of sam! but now u look like marylin manson. fuck afi cannon!

[musicgirl1092]

whys he keep messing with his hair

----

lol mcr did a cover of this and jack the riper

and so did afi

and i think mcr did better at boath

[phaedra76]

no one can do it better than the original - blur.....

[ericellington]

this sucked

[Joe11yeah]

Probably one of the worst covers ever

[KiwiPeach13]

This is good but their cover of Ziggy Stardust and Seven Nation Army are better

[4bobbryar4]

i think blur did it the best...it is their song after all and most of the time if it's your song you're going to play it and sing it better. i think mcr's cover was pretty ok...and AFI just is too fast in my opinion.

[CRYSTALCUBEVIDS]

It depresses me to see such a great song be played by a bunch posers who can't see out of their hair.

[noobrune]

@CRYSTALCUBEVIDS I can see there eyes clearly, one of them even bald, and it was played rather well. Whats wrong? Does this depress you that they play well and are influenced by music and play it.

[Ineedmypills]

@CRYSTALCUBEVIDS Hey, if you don't like it, why you watching it?

[Kimoodeweib]

Woa, nice guitar sound!

[ampotant]

Pfff... I like it.

[Diegomez411]

Davey the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Perkkykills]

Davey's voice is way too emo now to play this song.

[DethMetalHippie21]

idk the old afi coulda killed this song, but i think its still great, much better than the mcr version

[Rok2Slayr]

explain how a voice is "emo"

[BassSinger313]

it seems as thoguh blurs version is always better.

[hymynameisbazs]

it's shit.

blur is fucking better.

[aidenkreuz]

omg.. they butchered this song so badly.. and at the MTV 07' new years party too..

[ZeDaxter]

blurs is betur >.>

[crasetor]

@ZeDaxter omg I wanted to give a thumbs up /:

[Dr8co1]

Fuckin sweet cover!!

[emile869]

it s a blur song

[MBIIdollaBill]

dude who cares if its not their genre...for gods sake its a cover song

[xxEmosRockxx16]

afi`s version rocks!!

[Icis7777]

I hate MCR, but I love AFI.... And I hate both versions of this song. Blur is the only band that can do this song.

[Rolo7Hot7Chic]

not gonna lie, I think MCR's version was better, like bukov said, it's not AFI's kind of music genre. the guitar is too loud, and the singer is trying to hard, his voice doesn't fit Blur's as well as gerards. I love AFI, I'm not saying they suck or anything, don't get offended, just staying, stick to their own genre, they're great at it

[gaarafan2134]

yeah i agree i think if AFI did a this cover when they were still hardcore it would be better but this is still good

[drumguy19]

Gerards voice doesnt fit it for shit either. If this wsnt a cover i'd listent to it. But both bands honestly killed this song, as a cover that is

[UncleJemimia]

who's Gerard?

[drumguy19]

singer of MCR

[surprisebuttsecksed]

@Rolo7Hot7Chic whats their genre??

[DarkTwinmold]

@Rolo7Hot7Chic let's be clear here. the guitar is really what carries song 2 in my opinion. it was just right, definitely not too loud. and yeah, the voice doesn't fit Damon Albarn's but neither does Gerard's. not that bad of a cover

[Rolo7Hot7Chic]

@DarkTwinmold The guitar does carry a lot of the song, but when the guitar is louder you can't hear how well the pitch and voice collaborate with the riffs, they are both important to hear. Nobody's voice will sound better than in the original Song 2, but Gerard's is closer because it has varying pitch & intensity, which is harder to accomplish live, and when he was shouting the whole song for the reason it was at a concert. They are both great covers, I was just saying my opinion&backing it up

[soundwavefan75]

glad they stopped doing this jade really can't play this song

[bukovinian]

WHEN I HEAR HEAVY METAL!!!!

AFI not really this kind of band... in my opinion.

they are cool band but because they are original.

[themeni]

Oh god. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

[Emyhardrock4ever]

shit... how to destroy a nice song! :(

[dirtpezz]

wtf is this? new generation of emo?

Emo-Punk-Gothic-Fuck

[subbednotdubbed]

AFI is probably older than you are.

[dirtpezz]

yes,...so??

just because they are old doens´t mean that they are good!

[GodsmackGr]

WTF are you talking about???new generation of emo since 1991???you suck!

[jberban420]

you're an idiot. they have a bigger fanbase than any of that bullshit you listen to.

[TrunkMonk36]

Well..if you think about it... if Emo stands for Emotional...then bands that arent Emotional..really..suck......m­usic needs emotion in it..

[7Bens7Music7Channel]

get your baseball bats and pitch forks plx!

[iancurtis234]

que chingue su puta medre ese pinche emo bastardo hijo de satanas asqueroso maldico come mierda puto

[anulttanul]

mcr's cover was recorded and this was live. .....dumbasses

[14elly]

mcr's version was live. i just watched it, and it was live. =]

[rokas1899]

they are so dead

[ronald3326]

lol almenos el mejor q la version de robbie williams

[maniac1239]

afi suck arse !

[Abbykiins]

MCR's cover was a WHOLE lot better than this!

[Param0reR0ckz]

=D!

[Raidenzitoh]

afi sucks

[kanamesenpaixxx]

i actually used to lke afi, well before davey havok looked like jeffree star's emo twin.

[Abbykiins]

OMG!!

I never noticed that till now!!

Made me LOL for like 10 min lol

[rkraemer93]

omg ..

the hell is coming on earth :D

[letsloveearth]

bastards.

[crs3yo]

noooooooooooo

[RhythmDeamon]

same

or at least by some one who has a BRITTISH accent (prefreably estury like damons) hence the whole genre BRIT pop

[brownteal21]

looking at him sing it made me LOL

0:42

[hiu121]

its a ok cover of the song

[harney90]

oh god no!!

song 2 is only ment to be sung by damon!

[atvrider41790]

anyone heard of a new album from AFI?

[Jamekae]

Crash Love, and acording to Davey Havok they finished recording abut a wekk ago, it should be out forth quarter this year. And best news is Davey's vocals sound so strong since he's rested them from surgery.

[atvrider41790]

oh cool. thanks!!

[adictsan]

oh yeah!!! uhm i prefer this cover because mrc and robbie williams destroy the song

[whatthe567]

it's better than the MCR or the Plain white t's cover lets just face it this song is ment to be remade it just gets destroyed anytime another band does it

[crs3yo]

no all of them suck

[JolieBlonde820]

Epic Fail.

[woahXgirl94]

WOOO! hey. fuck up about emo okay or any other bands?

this music is music. and it fucking rules

AFI FUCKING RULES. NOTHING ELLSE MATTTERS.

[NatsLee83]

I prefer the original.

[MCRmusicz]

me too!

[danielhl22]

from Blur right?

[MCRmusicz]

yep.

[rokas1899]

perfect example of ruining epic song. they should be killed for this

[mod4life1964]

as much as i respect afi, this song is blur's property

[wowee1232123]

better than the mcr cover but still not awesome. the original is the most awesomest.

[LaynezWorld]

Awsome song. Every1 knows that the best music came from the UK!

[mychemrocks7]

oh my god you people are so stupid....doing a cover doesn't mean your gonna copy the bad and be like robots...it means ur making the song your own outta all the verisons ther all good in their own way no one is wright and no one is wrong okay?!

[PunkCherry666]

Oh I have to say that this is an awesome cover! The original version is the best! But this is fucking awesome!

[guizzareilnogra]

Faaag!!!!!

[A4F7IPictures]

This Is Fucking Awesome

[FrozenLemonade]

ahh look at jade go! :D

[damona75]

after all the original is always the best version....but this is very good cover

[JamesOhGoodie]

at least they don't have that all white background anymore.

SPEAK UP DAVEY! WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!

[RachRomcorexx]

MCR did a great version of this

the bass is much better with mcr

this is not that bad but i do think MCR did a better cover !!

[Deltaego]

Are you drunk?

MCR's version was terrible.

[RachRomcorexx]

Lol no im not !

I love MCR to death and my opinion is that their version was better !

But do get me wrong i do love this version just like i love AFI !

[Deltaego]

AFI's version wasn't that great either.

The best cover I've seen has been from the Plain White T's.

But MCR is by far the worst. It was just not a good cover, at all. MCR is emo and Blur is Indie Rock. Two very different sounds.

[RachRomcorexx]

MCR are Not emo hahah

Plain white T's yer like genre is like the Blur so Genre has got nothing to do with it !

And my opinion sticks MCR did a Great cover !

[Deltaego]

MCR is emo. They even label themselves as emo. It's crappy modern emo too.

Real emo, the stuff back from the 80s and 90s was actually good. Modern emo is garbage. It's all about depression and the singers are always whining or screaming.

Bands like Jimmy Eat World are real emo. Amazing lyrics, most of them upbeat. They were one of the more well-known emo bands in the late 90s.

[AustFisch]

I agree, they are emo, and Jimmy Eat World is the best emo band out there.

[JaYDENxo]

It's all bullshit. Emo just means an emotional person, not black hair and a pair of jeans. And not all emotion portrayed in MCR is anger or hatred. They tell of love, compassion AND ire.

None of our opinions matter to the other, because we're all unique. Believe it or not, people can like bands that they actually like, so instead of bashing other bands, go listen to your favourite, alright?

[aznbl4ckdud369]

actualy the new meaning of emo is scene people, why do u think people say . o u have an emo haircut, their not sayin ur hair is emotional... so all the bands that look scene, are label as emo, anyways most bands just do it to sell out

[whatthe567]

emo kids are cool :)

[BornInDarknessToDie]

if they're fucking upbeat, how the hell are they fucking emo? jimmy eat world is NOT EMO, persay, it's not emotional in a dark way. If music of this time was not dark and was, in fact, upbeat and happy, how come we labelled it as emo in the first place? wouldn't we have labelled it as happy and upbeat, and wouldn't NEW Emo be the ONLY EMO?

[headfirst4halos33]

god do u kno anything about mcr? gerard: and i quote "emo is just a label and emo is just bullshit, ya kno." they joke around about being emo bcuz of the bullshit they get from people like you

i mean im jst sayin u should get ur facts right.

[Deltaego]

Emo is just a style, I'm not arguing about that. I'm saying that MCR labels itself in the music genre of emo. Its right on its fucking label. EMO. Christ man.

Emo is a real music genre. Emo stands for emotive and it deals with the lyrics used.

[threshers1234]

Yes, MCR are emo no matter how much MCR wants to bitch about it.

[XxTheNewGenerationxX]

Gay wannabes

[febalj]

damn rite! papi!

[XxTheNewGenerationxX]

They need some balls and a hair cut. Only band who can cover this song and so a hell of a job is My Chemical Romance,

[FlyingMango94]

Some songs just shouldn't be covered at all because it will definitely go wrong. Song 2 is one of them.

It IS a lot better than that crappy MCR cover though, and it's pure genius compared to the bad joke that Robbie Williams made of it. But that's not really hard.

[sdgal12]

meh, not that great of a song in the first place in my opinion

i think mcr did an okay job on it :P as did afi

but i agree, no one should cover this song

ever.

its like trying to cover basket case by green day.

ends in an epic fail :P

[NightmareGanon]

Yeah, Davey is simply not Damon Albarn. Jade does a pretty good job, though.

Side-note: any cover done by MCR sounds crappy. They fucking ruined Jack The Ripper.

[wolborg105]

MCR fuckin rocks

Fuck off twat

[NightmareGanon]

I like some songs by MCR, but just take a listen to that crappy cover of their of Jack The Ripper.

Morrisey's point was for the song to be subtle, suave, for a truly disturbign effect. They just made it sound like your generic psycho song.

[XxTheNewGenerationxX]

Damn Straight!

[mcrarntemo]

that guitars way to loud!!

[jackouboy91]

well, this wasn't as terrible as MCR's version, but still it would be the best choice not to make a cover of this song..

[IN33DLEZI]

projectmayhem86 have you heard Miss murder?

[SelfEsteemSMASH]

miss murder sucks,

you should listen to their really old stuff.

like Totalimmortal, that was when they were actually a decent horror punk band.

i personally dont care much for the band at all.

[johnnyjerk]

Fuck, only good albums by them were Answer That and Stay Fashionable or Very Proud Of Ya.

[NightmareGanon]

Yeah, there were only three good songs in DU (two of which are crappy7 AFI songs, but good songs electronica songs).

Sing The Sorrow, well, I love it, but I understand why old fans don't like it as much.

[LoveForTheBroken]

i thin this cover is okay but it's not great because this is just an odd song for Davey's voice.

[jose2adrian]

pppffffffffffffff horrible!!

[maxchambers]

I wish they'd keep their grubby paws off of Blur's awesomeness.

[richiericardo13]

ha ha, LOVE BLUR

[raem94]

This cover ain't that good

better than mcr's, but that isn't hard

[Sylversai]

Hahaha oh God Jade's dancing is amazing.

[projectmayhem86]

this is why band have to cover great songs, cos they cant write their own.

[ronniegana2]

its a concert clip so its kinda unclear so its hard to judge

[celeste33035]

i like my chemical romance's version WAY!!! better!!

[LeaveMeAlone9]

MCR's version sucked badly.

[xDoMxD3TOX]

MCR sucks badly.

[damona75]

E' la canzone ad essere potente,l'originale è sempre la migliore

[nickthehaloguy]

okay this one is better than the mcr cover but mcr is better even though afi is good too but the blur version of this song is the best

[andresserrano66]

O shit, i had seen a great deal of bad covers, but i think this is the worst. OOOOO shit, they killed this song jajaja.

Congratulations AFI.

[oOmUEthosOo]

i bet you haven't seen the robbie williams perfomance yet ;)

anyway...GayFI

[downrightvlog]

a cover is always gonna be another persons take on a song. even if it's different.

get over it and listen to the other version if you don't like it. :p what else did you expect from AFI? looks entertaining, sounds great. :p best cover i've seen today.

[aimmmyb]

What a horrible cover. If you can make it better than the original, there's really no reason to touch an already great song. Shame on AFI...

[christopherducati]

Shitty pop-punk musicians??? research a little Listen to the art of Drowning or Black Sails or even some songs on Sing the Sorrow they are way more hardcore then the Blur!!!!!

[emerald1waters]

I think I love you.

[PapaJohn117]

This is way better then MCRS cover

davey just has a better voice

[rsdbzgx]

agreed

[MattyJo1989]

Watch The Aniseeds version.

Pisses all over AFI.

[stuviman]

its cool that people are trying to cover a great song, but none of them are anywhere as good as the original, blur are legends.

[dedicated2Kyky]

this video isn't great. if you see them live and they play it it's really good.

[xCzarnyAniolx]

MCR's cover is better...

[RockerToBe]

Right back at'cha MCR's one is better!

LOLz!

[TayyAndLivyy]

I like mcr's cover better.

[skateandbike]

AFI=(ABSOLUTELY FUCKED IMMITATION) of Blue Song 2, jk they sounded good but i dont like afi

[uiabf]

yeah and you dont even know the original band. its Blur not Blue. idiot

[skateandbike]

sorry buddy, you knew what i met, so go fuck yourself to some afi

[VenusInCancer]

lol thats got to honestly be one of the best comebacks i have ever heard

i was reading and i was like ha skates stupid he cant posibly say anything to get out of this f*** up but you did

[Hitamaru]

nope afi is shit,he also spelled meant wrong

[Oawol]

No one sings this song right but Albarn.

[stuviman]

too fuckin right.

[mrloomis]

mcr is fucking garbage

AFI is the greatest band ever

[mysterysk8er245]

he sucks
