[yayitscolin]

Wow! Simply class! Singing is amazing and the guitar...s are so well played!

[NJKKIII]

Great cover guys xx

[xboxlover1001]

Awesome

[wolfisms]

Talented & funny... I was wondering what you were going to do when the Kimbra part started.

[RChaps16]

Umm is this real?

[pwgrahamster]

great stuff!!

[ManiRoxs1]

And I'd like to point out that u havent gone viral yet soo...

[ManiRoxs1]

I liked Walk Off The Earth better...but still good

[idrusidid]

LONGER!!

[walkofftheearth]

This is great and hilarious guys

WOTE

[theenvymusic]

@walkofftheearth Thanks guys, Couldn't have done it with out you ;)

[tu11euchen]

You stole my idea. JK! Awesome concept and execution! :)

[2874jay]

this is really cool and i dont want to take anthing away from these guys but check out walk off the earths version its amazing ps if you havent seen it already

[SH4RPI3gurl]

omfg <3 i think i just died... D:

[treehugerproductions]

why the fuck does this have dislikes? this is so well done.

[K8A9S0]

WHY DIDN'T YOU FINISH THE SONG!!!!

[de500ya]

wow some serious holly water was involved !

[MercyPiano]

How many tries did this take?

[NoArtisticLimitation]

The water makes me laugh, the guitars make me amazed, and the extras are EPIC! ... My prognossis: WIN!

[rootsm3]

Okay so the water was really awkward.

[Dtotheworld]

amazing

[OvernightSensation2]

@JIMMYSAYWHAT . amen to that!! thank God someone knows whats up!

[Five30Productions]

@evanscudder Well obviously, since it's a cover. But I feel like it's a feeble attempt to become popular, basically copying Walk Off The Earth, with how they become popular.

[Masuhiro13]

Awesome cover. The lead singer's voice is amazing, and the guitarist is great. Just pointing out though, the word "challenge" was spelled wrong on the newspaper.

[OvernightSensation2]

@Masuhiro13 finally someone caught it !! ahahaha

[theenvymusic]

@Masuhiro13 Thanks for the compliments! And yeah, there was a typo.....I can't believe it took three weeks for someone to catch it......looks like I was too busy practicing the part than focusing on spelling!

[MistyStreetMusic]

Brilliant marketing!! Good on ya. I should also do a cover and call it 1 girl 5 guys and and no guitar!

[dennisjuhrg23]

Good job !! allot of creativity :D

[ScatTheGat]

Guy pouring the water was having trouble not laughing haha.

[AlyssaMarie1324]

this is lovely.

[ellenmel202]

Shaun kinda looks like Gotye :P js

[DoreenMakesMusic]

AMAZING :O

[sudburybabe27]

@stevepike00 no offense, but these guys are truly talented... it shows in the whole video. And I don't think for a second that they're trying "anthing",... they r just giving everyone a glimpse of their talent, which , man , I love... Let's just help promote the true talent that is out there in Canada and I can honestly say The ENVY, are truly amazing... like their version and , yes, I keep watching it over and over again...

[stevepike00]

@sudburybabe27 Oh I know they're talented I don't disagree with you there. Gene Simmons wouldn't have signed them to his label first b4 anyone else in Canada. I am just really into WOTE and have been since they were playin bars in Burlington, that kinda rhymed lol, but I Agree with you on helping promote Canadian Artists cause its hard enough to be recognized for how much talent our country does have, the internet helps A WHOLE bunch!! haha

[dreball85]

Epic.

[Fayeee1206]

You guys are Awesome!!! No words<3 :O Just amazing!! Keep it up!

[crazyitaliana93]

You guys are incredible!

Shaun, you have such an incredible voice, and VOID, you are so talented, you're amazing.

Keep up the amazing work, I'll never stop supporting you.

xo <3 :)

[CallMeJimmy0]

Damn, I thought I know how to play guitar...

[TheBigBombMax]

Wieso das Wasser ? :DD

[BastionConn]

Damn, that was impressive. I like how y'all come closer to Gotye's original vocal style than WOTE. All three versions of this song have helped to cement my interest in Indy music. Keep up the awesome work and rock on.

[nenagalvan]

i am very confused.... but i like it :) nice job guys :D

[PatMeruseye]

this is great! CHECK OUT MY COVER

[Kapr1Sun]

@theenvymusic I don't see him ever playing more than 3 guitars at a time... One of them isn't really "playing" the guitar, so I'd say he's only ever playing 2 guitars at a time, which some Asian dude pulled off much better.

[OvernightSensation2]

@Kapr1Sun maybe you should re watch the video than. hahahhha. or get glasses

[Kapr1Sun]

@OvernightSensation2 At what point is he playing more than 2 guitars at once? Tapping on a guitar with your foot doesn't count.

[BaalZebub42]

@JIMMYSAYWHAT I just checked it out, and it doesn't qualify as "sounding like a complete shit" for me. Yeah, the lead singer was a bit off, but that's all.

Now name one band that doesn't edit their songs. Some of my favourite bands can't even play live properly. This is popular music, not classical - it doesn't need to be recreated every time. It needs to be recorded perfectly, once - and that's exactly what I expect from these youtube bands (see Pomplamoose).

[Giloine1]

And now try playing al the 5 guitars at the same time, yes its possible you have 2 hands 2 feet and u can use your tongeu (: :P

[DinoDyl]

Is that a telecaster thinline with a modified cut away? 0_0

[theenvymusic]

@DinoDyl Its actually called a TC-90. Fender has reissued it now called the JA-90. its like a thinline but is not a bolt on neck, and has p-90's...we've always had great results in the studio with it!

[DinoDyl]

@theenvymusic Thanks, I had never heard of that before.

[evaligi]

very humorous, thanks=)

[workadaysnail]

that was awesome!!!

Im gonna watch it again

[area51fightgear]

Cool guys!

[MyWeny]

Void playing 5 guitars at once, that's Amazing! Love this video...Great humour! XDDDD <3

[dummy2193]

Clearly you have a very apt name!

[thisgodhateusall]

it remenber me a crazy things that richie kotzen makes...rsrsrsr

[polizaii]

What's he saying at the end that makes everyone laugh? :)

[hockeysnot]

way better than WOTE !

[kenzietaysoper]

What's with the water?

[teresarose07]

NIce!!! 

[the1mightygod]

[numba1guju]

[anderdong]

@theenvymusic

[GingerSnapsPhoto]

cherry vid guys! top shelf!

[nicdave2]

@theenvymusic

It is funny especially given the band name.

[annelotteVEERLE]

fuck this. i don't even have 5 guitars -.-'

[DaDASHDevil]

hahaha hilarious :)

what did he say at 2:21?

[Sarttimi]

@theenvymusic people need to refuckinglax hahah this is great, and no matter what people are going to compare to WOTE because unfortunately once something goes viral like that ppl just jump to comparisons. but i dont! haha good stuff x

[GuitarGirlMia]

Love it :) ~Mi@

[crudolol]

ahahaha godlike

[chunoboutme]

basic knowledge.. you mock something, its because your jealous..dislike

[OvernightSensation2]

@chunoboutme clearly you have no "basic" knowledge.. because basic knowledge would have meant you would have read the description and realized this isn't a mockery, but rather an inspirational testament to the other cover. idiot! .... maybe you're just jealous cause YOU can't play 5 GUITARS AT ONE TIME!!! huhhh? lmao.

[therealWTFproduction]

What is the effect/pedal at 0:55

[theenvymusic]

@therealWTFproduction Eventide Pitchfactor!

[therealWTFproduction]

@theenvymusic Do you think it's a good pedal?

[TheFuzzdude]

@therealWTFproduction this reminds me on josh homme´s sound

[Nikomax1018]

[LisaDawnn]

[Dancelikeaboss]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[hihoian]

walk of the earth's is better you don't have a chick and sausage fest much?

[shiningsil]

@hihoian

you dont need a chick to sing well...

[hihoian]

@shiningsil but in the actual song they have a girl and this isnt the whole song but still

[shiningsil]

@hihoian I like this one more because i think this one is more creative...

[themurdo21]

Good, but not nearly as good as Walk off the Earth cover... Not even close.

[OvernightSensation2]

@themurdo21 watch wote live.. and you'll see they cant sing for shit. lmoa.

[3blindwhales]

pretty darn good,

[MisaMisuMajide]

Still like the other one better it was funny though

[The24Pitman]

[NotoriousFavi]

I must say I actually like one guitar, 5 guy so much better. just sayin

[BrosBudz]

So Sweet! 16 people can only play on 4 guitars. ;P Check out our parody of the Gotye music video.

[sudburybabe27]

Wow , love love this version tooo!!!! Man you guys are talented. And I get the water scene.... washing all the pain away.... sooo coooool !!! Well done guys!!!

[xee2]

[JuLiA1KOoliA2345]

12 people had muscle spasms and accidentally hit the dislike button.

[piemannick]

He is just showing off

[theriteful]

Nice, love the ending!

[theenvymusic]

@100436909 The one on the left (standing up) gets used twice.....it's the xylophone sweep sound before the first Verse and at the end of the Chorus

[100436909]

one of the guitars doesn't get used...?

[amobofone]

Nice satire, funny as hell guys!

[MrShamelessjames]

haha.  dope

[rottenroger]

cool

[trask88]

thats golden



[ajmills]

@theenvymusic nice work boys, love it! can't wait for the new record to come out!!

[Postscripted]

E-A-G-D-B-Extraordinary

[Sutefusparky]

Happy New year! You guys are awesome :)

[emmarubbies]

The only thing i've seen worse than this is your other videos....

[alex32gherla]

are you retarded?

[styxcb28]

@JoelMckay69 They definitely have a lot of power, no doubt, but this guy pulls it off with a bit more rasp. Probably a matter of taste. Regardless, I think the point of this video is more that it's a spoof above anything else.

[JoelMckay69]

@styxcb28 I will say I like the differences but I also think its because I have heard the other first that it is my favorite. Plus I like the whole everyone playing on one instruments thing I suppose. I like both.

[elofan0]

ace guys :)

[piemannick]

I love you guys, keep it up, lets have that album

[flymingo101]

i just...... :O

[StojanSR]

Now that's amazing!

[MrDeathfromabove1973]

mdfa wuz here 3,843

[angelicharmony]

I love Walk of the Earth's version, and yours was great too! Nice humour (:

[styxcb28]

@JoelMckay69 I think both are good, but this singer has a better voice. Maybe they should battle!

[JoelMckay69]

@styxcb28 Its the power in the voices of the other that does it for me, i cant get into this version as much.. just seems bland no real feeling...

[JoelMckay69]

walk off the earth's version was better, although, I liked this too. both are very talented.

[btlynd21]

Already been done guys. What exactly is the "challenge" to Walk Off The Earth?

[OvernightSensation2]

@btlynd21 i think the point is that they OBVIOUSLY know that this has already been done! why else would they put WOTE's name on the front of the newspaper in this video.... the point is that its ONE guy with FIVE guitars... rather then 1 guitar 5 people...

challenege?... seems to makes sense to me..

[OvernightSensation2]

@OvernightSensation2 from what i hear the challenge is to compete the song LIVE! :) pretty rad

[Kelsie423]

i've been hearing all about this video but never checked it out until I got an email from the envy saying this was void! incredible! nicely done guys, challenge accepted.

[GrazzeL]

haha its a pretty funny video

[notella]

U guys are fantastic

[Jessica13Smith]

What a phenomenal cover! Vøid, you're so amazing! :). Hope you guys tour soon! We miss The ΞNVY..

[internationalsmarty]

It's alright but not anything different from whats in the musics mainstream.

[gabynbrad]

Love it!

[Liutkusss]

You are a peace of a talent

[shiningsil]

omg this is fantastic!! thats even better than the original version..

[michalshapiro]

An EXCELLENTLY thought out and executed single camera video! Kudos to the director.
