Nice cover and love that they are giving homage to the Who (and Mose Allison of course) but you can't beat the sound the Who make. Entwistle bass is just on another planet.
I don't see why people get upset about bands making covers of great songs, cause in my opinion this great cover like all other foo covers are made for the enjoyment of playing an extremeley fun song to play and also shows that foos respect the great rock band of the past.
To everybody that thinks this was originally a who song, well your wrong it was a cover of mose allison's original. So stop with all this ohh this can't hold a candle to the who, or taylor hawkings isn't keith moon because he simply must be the best drummer ever.......just no, music is an art not a competition
@pangborn25 yes asshole, its a who cover, and this doesn't hold a candle to the who's, this lacks the energy and emotion that the who had, especially on the drums, moon was a total animal, no one can drum like him, just watch the who play this live, kicks the shit out of any cover, mainly because of keith moon...do not insult a legendary band like the who.
@jaqua524 I love it when people say "it lacks emotion" when clearly it doesn't. It's just a poor excuse for "i dont like this band but i like the other"
@jaqua524 No,jackass who decided to escalate a simple correction because you couldn't wait to reply before actually looking it up. The Who (My favorite band) covered a wonderful little song called "Young Man Blues" in their early club days because they didn't have all that many songs of their own. The song was written by a Jazz-Blues musician named Mose Allison years earlier. Asshole.
@MyRocknRollTale this drummer lol...like listen to his fills..then listen to keith moon drum on this song..im not dissing this drummer, but man his drumming doesn't do this song justice lmao....so idk how it could even compete with the who, yet alone beat it lol :)
@jaqua524 Every member is doing justice to this cover of a cover. You need energy to play this song, and that's what Taylor's showing. I've watched who's cover of this song. Both are amazing. Leave it at that.
@mgnewage479 granted, taylor is no keith moon, but yes it was great cover, i share my account with someone else, so yes, both amazing, and both are actually covers
@MyRocknRollTale the who totally rocked this song man, and without moon on the drums, its shit haha, no disrespect to this guy, but, he aint no keith moon
@MyRocknRollTale have you ever listened to the who? i dont think so... learn some music mate, nothing will ever beat those old pioneer bands.. sorry but your comment offended me, and more seeing the thumbs up
@ginnungagap3 hi dear, I listen to The Who and 60's rock music since I was 13, now I'm 25 so..I think I know and love the kids good enough to write my comments on it :) This covers has nothing to do with the Who's one, but it rocks, and that's what counts. Anyway, I used the verb "could" & "possibly". I think nowadays no one could do a better performance on this cover. The Who are the marsterpiece, but I think there is still space for everyone that plays well.
@MyRocknRollTale I would say that would depend on *which* Who version. Some are fantastic, some are meh (by comparison). Regardless, great cover of a cover.
