  • Jesus christ Gay rights should exist because Gays exist and they are fine. Seriously in fifty years from now we will look back and realize how wrong minded we were.

  • I disagree with your politics, and really wish you would have separated it from your music. I love your cover of this song, and would have shared this link with friends were it not for the political rant at the end.

  • god i had chills, you are amaaaaazing!

  • Any ents in here? This shit is amazing.

  • @HamSandwich09 fuck you

    

  • @sprunkeldunkel I'm down.

  • AWESOME!

  • Awesome

  • awesome music and great talk at the end, couldnt agree more

  • one word: mainstream :D

  • :))))))))))))

  • Your music is mind-blowing, but your point is not very strong. Not that I don't agree with you, but your arguing is not gonna help much for people who don't.

  • Fuck fags. lol.

    Just kidding ladies, you know I love you. ;)

  • "its a national anthem by Jack Conte", f*ck you jack ..*for being  awe some

  • I wanna be gay with you.

  • Man, I do not think that the change of socity and technology want go on so fast like in the last 50-60 years. Take the technology or socity change between 1979 till 1996 which was huge and now take it between 2001 till 2011 wasn`t already that big anymore. And it will become shorter and therefore more boring. Time becomes the same. Take issues like music or fashion which do already the turn arround. Nothing new happens anymore, everythin heard everything seen only copy the past. Boring.

  • I'm not agree with you, world is going faster and faster. Ten years ago we didn't have facebook, tweeter, even youtube, most of us didn't have internet in cellphones. I'm sure that more than 90% of people in the world didn't have access to the internet and cellphones - now even in Somalia people use cellphones with free internet.

  • @TKTnetwork

    In my country(Poland) this year was parliamentary elections and we have now in parliament one transgender woman and avowed gay(in 2001 we didn't talk, that gays in Poland exists). In the end, everything that I wrote is from Google translator

  • i absolutely love what you do man

  • Awesome man, I was watching a couple Pamplamoose songs and seeing you playing all of these instruments made me think of Radiohead. My Curiosity was overwhelmingly consuming me to find out if you ever did a Radiohead thing..friggin sweet man.

    Also 100% agree on your Hunch because it IS sad, and unbelievable, that we can still to this day look at another human being and say they are not an equal or should share the same rights.

    Essentially this is our modern "house wife" in terms of inequal

  • I love you Jack conte, your music and your political view

  • this is fucking amazing. 

  • Well maybe I'm missing the point, but would it kill Jack to throw on a pair of pants?

  • @dejabadejabas Don't disciminate. Pyjamas are pants too.

  • @frankii77 you're right, but Don't you mean Pyjamas are People too?

  • Youre like obsessed with music! you stay inside youre room in pijamas for the sole reason of making music! Thats incredible... i hope someday i get as obsessed with music as you are :D

  • Outstanding mate, keep up the good work.

  • Dude, you have immense talent; re: your political commentary, true, but "terrifying" is a more accurate adjective. And our children will be laughing at society's irrational religiosity. "Daddy, you had an invisible friend growing up that your parents encouraged?!" "Yes son, I was raised as a Christian."

  • 100,000 views is me

    I'm a cartoonis in Thailand

    I open your playlist everytime when I start my work

  • Part 1: wow! Well played. That is one of my favorites, and you did it great justice.

    Part 2: more great justice. Well said.

  • @CuddlyBadger I'm sorry whose robbing who of what? Right now you just sound like some lazy "white man" as you said who doesn't have his facts straight and doesn't want to make an effort to make others happy. You sound like a selfish jerk and by the way you talk about others a lonely one at that

  • I must admit I kept wondering if you had anything underneath those pants. I believe I saw some wiener movement.

  • I would have just looped the bass like radiohead did, would get boring playing that after a while.

  • Comment removed

  • Everyone

    Everyone around here

    Everyone is so near

    What's going on?

    What's going on?!!

  • Go Jack!

  • Just because you cannot see another person's thoughts from an unbiased viewpoint and you cannot feel the way they do in their hearts, that doesn't make them wrong. They are people and should have the same rights as other people.

  • Not that my two cents matters any, but I have been taught is that we should hate the sin but love the sinner. As much as homosexuality is weird to me, I have no right to tell them that they are wrong simply because I cannot imagine how they feel. I love men and have only ever loved men, but who am I to tell someone that they are wrong just because they feel differently than I do? If everyone could walk in their (homosexual's) shoes and feel as they do, how would that change their perspective?

  • You sir, are one hell of a badass.

  • i agree 100%, intolerance of other peoples personal choices isn't the ideal characteristic in a modern society.

  • Is this a pyjama you wearing? haha... you're the REAL nerd!!! damn good man!

  • When I'm a parent, I hope my child will look back and be proud that we made it through and that gay marriage did become/will be legal.

  • hey there is a second half of the movie where we talks about politics. that's why everyones talking about weird shit.

  • What the fuck is all this gay rights and Christians ramble. This guy makes music, and he's damn good at it!!

  • @steenfraosterbro Watch the whole video.

  • So, I was already impressed that you could anywhere near cover radiohead (I'm a fan, and a purist), but your politics were spot on. Thank you for deviating from your musical norm to speak up. Subbed, sir.

  • i wouldnt say horrifying, just fuckin stupid

  • Actually, no, wow doesn't quite cover it. That you were able to build the same level of tension and power as the original blew me away. I love this song, I love your cover of it. Fuck no overkill, fuck no chaos, go at it.

  • Wow, Jack.

  • Overkill. Far too chaotic and pointless, stick to the main elements of the song. Other than that, nice cover.

  • download plox

  • hii , can any one recomend me a prgram to record and edit my videos? thx

  • @copeagua audacity and windows movie maker are free, i dont know what people with more talent than me use lol

  • @copeagua Cyberlink Powerdirector is pretty good, for only around $60-$100, I'm not sure on the price. If you can pay more, then there's always Avid, and Adobe Premiere, and Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro... You get the idea.

  • Fantastic...politics included.  Spot on.

  • Oh my god! Am I an apple? :-O

  • coooooooooooooooolllllllllllll­,,,,,

    iluvvvv u jack conteeeeeeee

  • this makes me wanna make music.

  • Yeah, a woman in the kitchen cooking for her kids sure disgusts me. Wait, what? I think you've got it backwards. I HOPE 50 years from now we'll be disgusted by fragmented families and people just wandering completely lost in the world getting angry at injustices that aren't happening. No pain is wrought by a gay couple not being religiously "betrothed", I promise you this. I know you're a bright guy Jack, but people don't have fulfilling lives right now, and gay marriage won't change that.

  • @CuddlyBadger I think you're forgetting how important marriage is to some people. There are gay couples that want to marry, and not being able to do so brings them mental anguish. And as far as I know, there are legal differences between marriage and civil unions as well. Gays don't have the same rights straight people do, and that's wrong.

  • @LookieHippie I'm not forgetting anything. Gays have the exact same rights as anyone else. You're saying gays should have rights that I, as a single man, don't, and that's wrong. You're basically saying that I'm oppressed because I'm not married. Mental anguish? Self-caused. Gays want to feel normal, if not special, and that's understandable, but they want to use me and you, and the legal system, to do so. Gays can marry each other right now. They just can't tax me for it. That's FINE.

  • @CuddlyBadger I haven't said that. I said that gays are oppressed because they aren't allowed to marry who they want. You are allowed to marry whenever you like, as long as you find a consenting partner of the opposite sex. I just think we should let same-sex couples to do the same. And as far as I know, ridiculously many states in the US don't allow same sex marriage or even civil union.

    If you're so worried about your taxes, I say no-one should be allowed to get married! Everyone's unhappy!

  • @LookieHippie I do not have any advantage over gays. I can only get "MARRIED" when I agree to divide my estate with a partner of the opposite sex, for the protection of a child which could ONLY result from that kind of union. Otherwise, why on EARTH would a woman merit an instant entitlement of my entire existence? Gays are NOT oppressed. That's an absolute lie. Anyone can have a contractual relationship.

    That said, I'm all for abolishing marriage. It absolutely oppresses and robs men.

  • @CuddlyBadger No matter what your personal opinion is, you still have the permission to get married with a consenting partner of the opposite sex. Contractual relationships, as far as I know, don't have the same legal benefits/obligations as marriage, if any. You might not want to get married, but there are people who do want those benefits/obligations. What you are doing now is robbing gays having the same rights as you.

    Guess what made me laugh in that last paragraph of yours. Go on, guess!

  • @LookieHippie When I lived in the SF Bay Area, I saw a LOT of gays robbing themselves of dignity. I never once saw anyone else do it to them. I know gays want a special legal status, so they should ask for it, but someone told them to ask for something they don't qualify for instead. This all got resolved in France, because in France, gays didn't try to use marriage to convince everyone that they were just as good as heterosexuals. That takes good, old-fashioned American egomania.

  • @CuddlyBadger Robbing themselves from dignity? You might want to elaborate. And it's not a "special legal status" they want. They want the same legal status as straight folks get. Nothing special about that. As for PACS, which I'm assuming you're talking about, there are legal differences between it and marriage. That said, most states in USA don't even allow civil unions. That takes good, old-fashioned religious fundamentalism.

    Btw, you just called straight folks BETTER than gay folks. Harsh...

  • @LookieHippie You're wrong about everything and you don't care, because you think you're just being nice to gays and you're never going to question that because in Hollywood movies being nice is always right and that's where you get 100% of your moral ideas from. However, there's a lot more to the actual world than one-liners and making them look good. Obviously not in your world, but your world is tiny, as tiny as that of a religious fundamentalist.

  • @CuddlyBadger Why do you think gays are bad? Because they sin? Well, in my modern, non-religous fundamentalist based beliefs, sinning isn't a consensual act of sex in private. Sinning isn't being born loving the 'wrong' gender. That's no perversion. A perversion is something that harms people, like rape or child molestation (which heterosexuals do as much as homosexuals). That's a sin. Not gay consensual sex! Really.

  • @SuperiFox I never said anything about gays being "sinful", but they ain't angels. I've met a lot of them and they're almost always complete assholes. They're like superficial, nasty little orphans and they think they can get away with murder because they're SPECIAL. They don't even TRY to earn your respect, they just get pissy if you don't kiss their ass. And they bring NOTHING new to society. Sorry, but I'm not about to start kissing the ass of pretentious little babies. You do it

  • @CuddlyBadger Dude you're stereotyping hard. Open your mind: People aren't all one way cause of their sexuality. I don't have any gay or bi friends like that. They might be like that where you are from cause they face so much hatred and discrimination, but where i live they're chill, respectable people who are really good friends of mine. So quit being so close minded dude.

  • @CuddlyBadger Btw, "you don't care, because you think you're just being nice to gays and you're never going to question that because in Hollywood movies being nice is always right and that's where you get 100% of your moral ideas from." XD if you call that an argument, that's a fail. That's you getting mad and writing a bunch of bullshit cause you want to make a personal attack, but don't know anything personal about the person you're speaking to! FAIL!

  • @CuddlyBadger So, instead of proving me wrong, you, and I'm reading between the lines here, call me an idealist and close-minded, you insult my intelligence AND my parents... Insults make you look childish, and they're poor arguments. There's no reason gays shouldn't be allowed to marry, and you gave me no evidence to the contrary. I just won.

    An insult: 'Tis not a surprise you're single. All your relationships must have failed miserably, since you're so bitter.

    See? Ain't that childish, honey?

  • @LookieHippie Look hippie, the reason why I'm not laboring to prove to you that you're a complete idiot is because you're not even in the vicinity of reality. You're just a small-minded cunt who thinks women and gays getting all the cake is going to bring you wealth and happiness especially if all the white men are miserable. I have no doubt you've personally ruined relationships for no good reason and taken a big fat dump on as many men as you possibly can. Way to be, champ.

  • @CuddlyBadger Again with the insults. Still no evidence! I'm waiting. I'm not a hard core feminist or a gay activist. I just think everyone should get a piece of the cake, an equal sized piece for everyone. It's not like we're robbing "white men" from their rights when we give gays the right to marry. How does giving people equal rights make "white men" miserable?

    That said, I haven't failed a relationship yet, but I doubt I'll take a dump on anyone if I do. That'd be irrational.

  • Comment removed

  • Good musicians always have the best political views. Also, I think any opposition to gay marriage is stupid. the conflict is quite literally an argument over the word marriage which is absolutely ridiculous.

    I think that something that would become much more modern in the future is crossdressing. Guys are wearing all sorts of tight pants now, and who's to stop it from going further? I think a concept that will seem antiquated in the future is mocking guys who wear tight pants/girly clothes.

  • THIS VIDEO"S SO EPIC IT WON"T EVEN BUFFER

  • Better than the original, imo.

  • @Ebits21 WHY?? Oh maybe the cuter/nice instrumentation in the middle?

  • one of the best basslines ever. hands down.

  • :-) Good work!!

  • fanfunkingtastic {^-^}

  • Love the "Cymbal Kick" move!

    Feels like a mix of Steve Moore and Jackie Chan !D

  • Man you've helped reawaken my passion for music, thanks brah! :)

  • Jack, you're assuming that the leftist paradigm takes over. It might often be the reverse where you see how ridiculous these debates were when for nearly all of our existence we have abided by natural laws.

    It's just as likely we will look back in 50 years and see how utterly alien and naive this culture and society was. We'll be looking back and asking why gay marriage was brought up in the first place (seeing as how it's completely unnatural).

  • @Radicalright9 How is it unnatural?

  • @Radicalright9

    We look back now and wonder why black Americans, or in fact people of any color in any country were ever treated with less respect and rights than their white counterparts.

    By "black Americans" i mean "gays", by "color" i mean "sexual orientation" and "White"="Straight"

  • DO YOU USE A MBOX?? CAN YOU LINK ME TO WHAT INTERFACE AND SOFTWARE YOU USEPLEASE?? XXX

  • i want to see you cover something like 15 step or weird fishes, or anything from there in rainbows album

  • Jack, you didnt have to say a WORD, ITS CLEAR YOU HAVE A HEART!!!!, oh and by the way YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

  • I like this version better, without the stupid horns.

  • @Underjoggle NOOO!!!! but sort of. I mean, this is marginally more mother-friendly.

  • That is fucking bad ass! Well done, dude!

  • i feel disgusted at your disgust of the golden age of america

  • @DBHEcho Golden age? Maybe for white males, yeah.

  • @ninjakitty88 is there anyone else?

  • I bought green hightops in honor of this dude.

  • I would not leave such a beutiful girl for a man, but if it is what you want... go for it.

  • good shit

  • This cover almost made my computer explode.

  • Shit this is sick

  • who else stopped watching 3:28?

  • Jack Conte, you're the man, and I love you for it. Keep rockin' mate

  • fuck ya jack

  • THIS IS... SICK!

  • Good video. I also think our kids will look back 50 years from now n see how rediculous it was for marijuana to be illegal.

  • Whoa! very kewl man...awesome

  • As a Christian, I agree with Jack on this one. This country is based on freedom, not biblical morals, so let people be free. Also, to Christians who act towards the gay population with hatred and disgust, shame on you, Jesus also clearly said that the first greatest commandment was to love God, the second to love your neighbor as yourself. Not whether they are gay or straight, Muslim or Hindu, black or white, just love them no matter what. If you call yourselves Christians, strive toward this.

  • @Ilovemyfender2 as a Pagan i say you're a pretty awesome Christian. There needs to be more like you.

  • @Ilovemyfender2 it actually was based on biblical morals, not sure where u thought otherwise. "In God We Trust" ring a bell? Anyway, that doesn't mean an individual cant voice their opinion about any topic, but don't go and create the "2 wrongs don't make a right" issue by pointing @ a majority of the world's pop when its a few that actually make you mad. The Bible says laying with another man is a sin. so if somebody supports whats in the Bible, then good for them. Right? Be Free? you said it.

  • @caltex86 "In God We Trust" wasnt the motto for america when it was founded-it became printed on money during the 50's or something-most of the founding fathers were not for religion-the point is we were founded on the seperation of church and state and we shouldnt forget that

  • @Ilovemyfender2 God also says to kill gays, kill ones that have different beliefs and so on. It's kind of hard to decide for Christians which one of the gods multiple personalities to follow...

  • @Ilovemyfender2 I am a Christian, and it disgusts me how other Christians mis-use the Bible for their own ends. It has happened so often now that certain verses in the Bible are now legally defined as Hate-Speech. In almost every case, the haters are using verses from the Old Testament, which was reborn into the New Testamen, making them innapplicablet. so next time you hear a Christian bad-mouthing, ask him how long it has been since he stoned a blaphemer.

  • @AccidentalLyrics Hand him a rock while you do it

  • @Ilovemyfender2

    This is never gonna end. I mean, hate comes from both sides, gay people aren't the only victims of hate crimes anymore. People just can't accept that every one has the right to believe on what they wanna believe. And I'm talking about everyone, gays and Christians. People have to leanr that you can't impose your beliefs. Christians wanna believe that homesexualism is wrong, let them, non-christians/liberals wanna believe that it is right, let them. That's why we have free will.

  • This is ridiculously good. Agree completely with J0NNO.

  • his pants match his shoes tee-hee!

  • haha vlog back in 20 years - let us know how you feel then.

  • you pray?

  • all i am sayin is... :25

  • you have so much fuckin talent u probably have a 2 inch dick!

  • you had me at the Kung Fu kick.

  • @SemiTall He had me at Radiohead. =P 

  • awesome tone on the bass, almost exactly the same

  • Beautiful, thank you x

  • U r so talented musician... and i really like u do everything 4 urself, no discographic corporations involved...

    And ur question is really good... gay marriage is an issue, also the way people treats inmigrants & atheists, the way they justify going to the other corner of the world killing 4 natural resources... the way they hunted down Assange & try to demonize WikiLeaks, etc...

  • I knew he was gonna talk about gay marriage. On that note, prop 8 sucks.

  • Best bassline of all time

  • (continued from below) I'm not gay personally but i'm not black either and I have enough sense to know that the KKK was (is) wrong. And don't kid yourself, If you're marching with anti gay propaganda signs that say "God hates fags" then you might as well put on the white hood and robe as well.

  • I agree with you 100% jack. And for all those that want to bring the bible into it, think of all the other things that offended god that almost everyone ignores "don't eat meat on friday" "don't work on sunday" "Thou shalt not lust for thy neigbors wife" I'm guilty of all 3. Most everyone is. And keep in mind that not everyone is Christian. (continued above)

  • You sir are insanely good

  • Dear dick = jack conte. How dare u shamelessly display your talent like this. There are millions of people without an ounce of this amazement. People like myself who would give their "left one" to play a single instrument. And u have the audacity to perform that magical piece with an orchestra of instruments right in front of my face! There's a special place in hell for folks like u!

  • @ibschaff lolwut

  • Jack, the path to awareness has been a long road with ignorance every step of the way. Do you feel disgust towards your own ignorant youth? Some are terrified of alternate sexuality not because they know about it, but because they don't. We used to be terrified of lightening (see Greek mythology). Please don't be disgusted with our current fears. Inform not by polemics at the end of video-songs, but by living your life with the vitality and joy you clearly possess.

  • Can't wait until pop culture catches up with science. That's when we'll look back at these videos and feel disgusted with ourselves.

  • for a break from all of the political comments, this cover is fantastic! though I am curious as to what effects are being used in the main vocal line. Help me out?

  • wow, so much hate in this comment section...

    a couple of thing, my dear jack:

    First of all - You're a very talented and unique musician! I love your stuff!

    Second - I don't think you should be sorry for being political... It's your thoughts and perspective. spiting it out just challenge and improves your perspective on life and political issues. you should never be ashamed of that. especially not for such a great cause as gay marriage.

    third of all - You're damn cute! :)

  • @bonzie321 Its not exactly a choice... But even if it was, Isnt this supposed to be a free country? They arent harming you in any way shape or form... Why do you care? Unless you're afraid theyll convert you... Which can only mean one thing... That you're insecure in your own sexual preference.

  • To JckJessica Have you taken a look at your government lately? We are not as free of a country as you think. Hey, I have no problem with gayness. Why do people have to keep pushing their lifestyle though? I OK, I get it...your gay your proud...so move on already. I am a partial flamer myself but don't see the need to advertise it. -and I am very insecure with beaver.

  • BTW -- that's a shit ton of kit. How'd you collect all that awesome stuff?

  • AH -MAY -ZIIIINNNG

  • Are you sure you didnt have Radiohead hidden under the table? Jack Conte you are the man!!!

  • @LadderEnterprises do you dress up at your house?

  • Man and Woman = Perfect!

    The way God intended it to be.

    Seriously disagree with you on everything you have said.

  • @Helslinky People used to say exactly the same thing about mixing of the races that they do now about same-sex relationships. I suppose you think marriages should only be white with white and so forth? What you believe God intended and what you (or anyone) feel is acceptable sexually is a completely different issue from what the law should concern itself with. The law has no business dictating who you love or marry, whether it's the races or the sexes.

  • @danakerman You cannot separate the law of the land, and the law of God. We get our morality from the word of God, it is inseparable. Therefore, when I read that is is not acceptable for a man to lay with another man I take it as a command.

    Leviticus 18:22 22 “‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."

    This is not an offensive attack on same sex relationships it is merely someone speaking with substance not ranting on about opinion.

  • @Helslinky Actually the law of the land and the law of God are VERY MUCH separate things, no matter how much you wish it were otherwise. They often diverge. What the law will not forgive, God might, and vice versa. If we were to follow fundamental Judeo-Christian laws, then we'd be stoning women in public for adultery. So let men and women relate to each other as they choose on Earth and answer to God later. It is not for us to judge.

    Enough of this. Let's get back to the music.

  • Marry me!

  • Comment removed

  • god damn that bass line!

  • That was pretty incredible, man...

  • 51 were introduced to radiohead by you!!!! thank you!!! for passing ti on to future generations.... great frkn.. cover...

  • perhaps the best cover on youtube.

  • 24 People didn't heed his warning about the politics.

    That said, this is amazing. Looks like he really had fun with this (oh my god the floating paper)

  • Wow, that was so cool.

  • That just titillated every molecule in my body.

  • @juliusteezer sounds like a personal problem?

  • everything looks really great!! really!

    'cept for the vocals.. you cannot be close to Thom's voice.. no one can ;)

    faved!

  • Actually like this version better

  • 1:08 WTF ?!

  • @syd0w :O!!!

  • i'm in awe! this is a such a beautiful cover!

  • Simply great!

  • I agree,very backwards indeed.I'll be voting for evolution.

  • How exactly did you get the vocal effect? I've been trying to figure out how they did that forever.

  • @BiscuitsJoe Add a delay effect and make the gap between each delay extremely short.

  • what effect is that on vocals??? its a great sound! palm speaker?

  • what effect is that on vocals??? its a great sound!

  • c'est vraiment extra.
