LSU has much better tone and control than SU. Obviously. But...I'd much rather listen to SU play it. Yea, "Cranking" isn't a very good display of musicianship, but it much better fulfills the purpose of a stand tune (in my opinion), which is to pump up the crowd and the football players. Of course, SU probably does it better because their players need it more...You don't see their football team winning championships...
@kvnftzsmmns The song is from a group called Cameo...LSU got it from Southern University...which is a show style HBCU band in Baton Rouge also..when LSU and Southern did an event downtown baton rouge and LSU director liked asked for the music and when he got it he put his own lil twist on it
@225carter Do you have any facts behind that? I know exactly what you're talking about. It was at that parade of champions after the 2003 national championships. I'm sure SU played Neck and I'm sure some people at LSU liked it and started thinking about playing it one day. But I don't think the rest went down like that. The directors didn't ask them for the music. Anyone one with a music degree should be able to arrange either version. Plus, LSU didn't start playing it for another 3 years.
while i do think they played this very well, SCSU sounds better because they gave it way more feeling, LSU looks like they are having fun, but you won't know if you aren't looking at the video.
@1stbase3 sorry, that is wrong...Not totally directed at you but people should do a little research before they comment. IN 1984, Texas Southern University Marching Band "The Ocean of Soul" played this against Jackson State University in Jackson, MS. From that point on, All SWAC bands started to emulate their idea of arranging this song for football game enjoyment. Surely, LSU heard their neighboring SWAC school Southern University "Human Juke Box" play this tune and ran with it.
this bored me....... the arrangment has no color to it and dosent reflect the name i mean it is just plane boring.....while i admin they play it well the crowd wont be appreciative this
My eyes must be playing tricks on me, you could not have possible said FAMU was better than Southern University. I enjoy both bands but hands down JSU & Southern kill FAMU in every aspect. LSU is the best SEC band by far tho, Alabama's MILLION DOLLAR BAND is horrible. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!! I'm from Alabama by the way and I marched in an HBCU band
@ClarinetplayerERHS It is being played at the same tempo as the original. Go and listen. Everyone is just used to hearing it played much faster than it actually is. Almost every band plays it different.
Now that a bigger, more recognizable university, to most Americans has started playing it in the last 5-8 years, it has made it into the mainstream and become even more popular outside of the HBCU community. And the fact is….EVERYONE seems to love it! Now I am partial to and LOVE all my HBCU marching bands, but I am also proud of LSU (or any school for that matter) for taking it on and making it their own (all bands-HBCU or not-have their own versions of a variety of songs).
I see the posts where some HBCUs’ bands and fans (ex. Southern and Grambling) are taken aback and seem sensitive when they hear it and get all upset. I think the issue is that it is a classic HBCU marching band cover since it came out in the 80s (which is when HBCUs initially started playing it….it’s like a staple in most HBCUs marching band playbooks).
If LSU played that at Southern not only would it sound better than Southern's Marching band, but LSU would also be beating the shit out of the Southern football team so badly the Southern Marching band would never have a reason to play Neck anyway.
@michmarchese hells nawww southern dnt giv a fuk bout d football game dey gone play it anyway n blow d fuk outta LSU mann r guys even serious comparing lsu corny ass band against d best band in the world literally. I agree about d football part though cus i like lsu football team but d band dey aight but we kno der not dat entertainment type band shit SU can take wat lsu do n make it sound ten times better bro c'mon mann i cnt believe u think lsu neck sound better dan SU's errbody kno SU better
@patboy07 Best band in the world my ass! Ever heard of FAMU? Blasting or "cranking" as they say it, as loud as one can on their horn hardly makes a band better. I personally like SU's arrangment of Neck more but they play it horribly. I don't like the LSU version but they know not to play outside of their control and sound like crap. That's the difference. Control (LSU) vs. no control (SU).
@sousa07ful Reallly I do not like SU arrangement I really prefer GSU arrangemeant and I am a full flegde tuba girl. I love FAMU but GSU is still a great band hands down
@michmarchese YES LSU FOOTBALL WOULD WIN BUT, SOUTHERN WOUD TEAR A WHOLE IN LSU'S ASS WITH THEIR BAND! I MEAN NO COMPETITION. LSU HAS NOWHERE NEAR THE POWER OF SOUTHERN. LSU'S BAND CONTAINS WEAK HORN HOLDERS THAT ARE USED TO MAKE THE BAND LARGER. IF THEY WERE THE SAME SIZE AS SOUTHERN, AND WENT HEAD TO HAED WITH THEM, LSU WOULD NEED 2,000 LBS. OF KLEENEX BECAUSE THEIR FEELINGS WOULD BE HURT! I'M JUST SAYING. SOUTHERN WOULD BLOW THE MESS OUT OF Y'ALL WITH "NECK" OR ANY OTHER POWER SONG. SMH @LSU!
@michmarchese LOL. You are dreaming too freaking hard. But, that is good. If that is what they are teaching you. Anyways, back to reality. Yes, LSU football would easily beat SU. You are wrong about LSU's "Neck" sounding better than SU's. Southern would so easily annihilate LSU's band with "Neck"! LSU's band contains weak horn holders that are used to make their band larger. That is why LSU sounds so weak. LSU would need 2,000 lbs. of Kleenex when SU finishes them off. LSU would be SU's bitch!
Lsu can't touch Su or jsu they have real music it looks like these white band not play at all it just show I wish tht Su jsu txsu morris brown was playing in the standing of big college lsu band is waste of talent I play mello and I bet if I went to lsu band is be the coolest one in it
For all of you "musicians" out there...while this may seem a little boring to you...you have to consider the audience that they were playing it for...I love HBCU bands, but I elected to go to a "white" school and march in the band...a different experience from high school where we marched corp style for my first three years and my last two we were a show band (i started in 8th grade, lol)...I can truly appreciate both...Once again...consider the audience...
This is real music all the other schools like SU, GSU, FAMU etc...they play their instruments too loud sounds like somebody is screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is real music all the other schools like SU, GSU, FAMU etc...they play their instruments too loud sounds like somebody is screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
like i said people stop playing this sing with it was made over in like 2005. i bet LSU is gonna start playing Phill Collins 'In the air tonight" like my high school (Istrouma) and SU
This song was so great too bad lsu banned it. I can see why they banned it if the student section kept on saying that stupid chant. I mean im in college too(and in da band) but there are still over 50,000 non college people in da stands who im pretty sure dont want to hear dat shit. I kno for LSU fans its a bummer, but there's no place for it. However, I wouldn't mind if they said talking out the side of your neck bitch, but u didn't have to include that other shit
Does any realize how powerful and articulate Lsu's band is? Don't get me wrong, I love SU's version and FAMU's version. I enjoy it better from an entertainment perspective. But I go to LSU for entertainment and musicianship.
@nigelholland3 If a white person made a comment like this, black people would be SCREAMING racism... That's what makes me laugh. BTW, this version has the same tempo as the original Cameo song. HBCU's play it way too fast. LSU has it right.
@bowlegz13 Sorry bro. Grambling State starting playing neck years before Southern University. Just ask any SU alum who was in the band in 1995 or 1994 and they will tell you who the truth. In fact SU fans used to get tired of Grambling playing the song every other sond at the football games. Yes, Grambling started it.
@bowlegz13 yea, except SU sounds like a bunch of truck drivers blowing their horns on the freeway, i listened to Southern's version it sounded like shit.
@bowlegz13 yea, except SU sounds like a bunch of truck drivers blowing their horns on the freeway, i listened to Southern's version it sounded like shit.
@TipToe1995 yeah I was in a high school that had more white folks then anything and well we played it better then most.. of course not as slow and dull as LSU but yeah.. I like southern's version of the the best.
@Tj23851 please note that lsu is not trying to copy a black school just because black schools are playing neck they play it because it gets the fans excited about the football games and because they enjoy playing it they are not trying to copy a black school they are corps style marching band not show style
@12ppb I hear you about the "soul", but I put some thought into it. We listen to SU's version and it sounds so blown out and run together. LSU's version sounds the same whether you're sitting in front of them or accross the field.
LSU obviously has excellent musicians. We may not have the dance moves of SU, but we are clearly better musicians. I would rather listen to better musicians than to watch a bunch of dancers butcher a song.
What's with all the musical piety? Be it Southern or LSU music is universal no one style is law. Keep it simple stupid and enjoy the song, no matter who plays it Cameo's tune is jamming, let that be it. This band is doing what ALL bands were created to do entertain (especially at a football game) .
they need some black snare drummers in there. white people just aint gettin it. (and this is coming from a white person. no offense awesome white people drummers!)
SU has a more soulful arrangement, but they're too busy blasting and dancing to actually play it right. LSU's arrangement may be relatively bland, but at least they play it properly. I personally enjoy LSU's version much more than SU's, though SU's version is more fun to sing to myself (where the arrangement is not butchered by boisterous excuses for musicians).
@bmoreed (Very hyperbolic comparison here) People don't jump up out there seats for Beethoven, but it's pretty obvious that he's a far better musician than, say, T. Pain.
Point being, noise that gets you amped up is not comparable to legitimate music, though I agree that a lot of what show bands play can be pretty exciting (kind of the point of a football game, but meh...). Still, I prefer quality musicianship to loud noise.
@MrMertakhai well when u put it that way. Of course Beethoven is a better musician than TPain (not that I like either). I'm no musician, by any stretch, but I dont know if I would call either bands music noise. But doesnt excellent sound leads to excitement. But I understand your perspective and thank you for being so cool about it.
i like both LSU and Southern band. The two bands are doing a great job as musicians and what they do in the band.!!!! HBCU or not all bands sound great!
Man I hate to see this division between Hbcu and D1 schools when they have two different styles. Most people saying Southern sucks and blah blah don't understand the history and the soul those students have. Either is bad, but when people make ignorant comments saying one is worse just shows that they have their heads stuck up their own ass. Some people think schools are divided into color when both types of schools play both sides of this made up Bullshit race spectrum. GET A LIFE!!!
jazz, blues, rock n roll, lets just be real this isnt the first time that white people have "adopted" an art form created or made popular by another ethnic group without giving that group any credit and it wont be the last. Hbcu bands like southern and others have been playing this song for almost 25 yrs. and now when lsu "catches on" they suddenly do it better? I dont think its a problem to play whatever it is you want to play but give respect where its due. Thats the only problem I see.
Much more controlled, LSU that is. I honestly can't tell what Southern's beat is. It just sounds like 100+ Brass Instruments blasting their horns to see if they can be louder than the other person.
@lw42 and wat video were you watching where you couldn't tell where a beat was? because i can put a 5th grader infront of SU and they can catch the beat. surely you can.
Every marching band is different. LSU is not a show band. They don't play or march like a show band. They aren't going to play Neck like a show band either, they're going to play it like LSU. From what I see, they are not really corps style either, but whatever. Neck is one of the best stand tunes ever, everyone plays it.
Yes we all know that hbcu band are the best. For corp bands to always be talking trash they sure did jock one of our songs. Its sounds ok if your just going to play it around other corp style bands. But dont come around no showtime band playing this song cause ya'll would get blow the fuck back. lol JSU ALL DAY HBCU!
I think it's a good arrangement but the speed is slow. I would suggest the tempo for this song to be at about...lively. I also believe that it needs a bit more feeling. Some more sound. Maybe.... forteforte
its is sad because, most of lsu's fans adminis. band staff, do not show a respect for what hbcu's bands do; yet they want to copy it in the stands to improve their mass appeal. this reminds me of what happened to jazz and the blues; started for us by us, yet not respected by others until they steal it and try to make it their own, then they show all types of praise upon themselves for being innovative for copying someone else. by the way to me that version is just plain boring.
Who's "us" and "them?" Sounds like you're stuck in the past. Music is for everyone. I can pick up a horn and play what i want to play just like the next person.
This Band Suck , , And it slowed it down Get up With JACKSON STATE or GRAMBLING Or SOUTHERN SMH

Of course LSU's version isn't as good as a HBCU, they're too busy putting an elite football team on the field!

@bull864 Anyone can have soul, my friend. Nujabes had soul and he was Japanese.
This song lacks soul. It doesn't make me get hype from listening to it. That's what Neck is supposed to do. Pump up the crowd.

@Tj23851 please note that lsu is not trying to copy a black school just because black schools are playing neck they play it because it gets the fans excited about the football games and because they enjoy playing it they are not trying to copy a black school they are corps style marching band not show style

@12ppb I hear you about the "soul", but I put some thought into it. We listen to SU's version and it sounds so blown out and run together. LSU's version sounds the same whether you're sitting in front of them or accross the field.

LSU obviously has excellent musicians. We may not have the dance moves of SU, but we are clearly better musicians. I would rather listen to better musicians than to watch a bunch of dancers butcher a song.

What's with all the musical piety? Be it Southern or LSU music is universal no one style is law. Keep it simple stupid and enjoy the song, no matter who plays it Cameo's tune is jamming, let that be it. This band is doing what ALL bands were created to do entertain (especially at a football game) .

SU has a more soulful arrangement, but they're too busy blasting and dancing to actually play it right. LSU's arrangement may be relatively bland, but at least they play it properly. I personally enjoy LSU's version much more than SU's, though SU's version is more fun to sing to myself (where the arrangement is not butchered by boisterous excuses for musicians).

@bmoreed (Very hyperbolic comparison here) People don't jump up out there seats for Beethoven, but it's pretty obvious that he's a far better musician than, say, T. Pain.
Point being, noise that gets you amped up is not comparable to legitimate music, though I agree that a lot of what show bands play can be pretty exciting (kind of the point of a football game, but meh...). Still, I prefer quality musicianship to loud noise.
MrMertakhai 1 year ago
@MrMertakhai well when u put it that way. Of course Beethoven is a better musician than TPain (not that I like either). I'm no musician, by any stretch, but I dont know if I would call either bands music noise. But doesnt excellent sound leads to excitement. But I understand your perspective and thank you for being so cool about it.

Man I hate to see this division between Hbcu and D1 schools when they have two different styles. Most people saying Southern sucks and blah blah don't understand the history and the soul those students have. Either is bad, but when people make ignorant comments saying one is worse just shows that they have their heads stuck up their own ass. Some people think schools are divided into color when both types of schools play both sides of this made up Bullshit race spectrum. GET A LIFE!!!
cchstpet 1 year ago
jazz, blues, rock n roll, lets just be real this isnt the first time that white people have "adopted" an art form created or made popular by another ethnic group without giving that group any credit and it wont be the last. Hbcu bands like southern and others have been playing this song for almost 25 yrs. and now when lsu "catches on" they suddenly do it better? I dont think its a problem to play whatever it is you want to play but give respect where its due. Thats the only problem I see.

Much more controlled, LSU that is. I honestly can't tell what Southern's beat is. It just sounds like 100+ Brass Instruments blasting their horns to see if they can be louder than the other person.

LATECHGOLFBEAST1 1 year ago
Every marching band is different. LSU is not a show band. They don't play or march like a show band. They aren't going to play Neck like a show band either, they're going to play it like LSU. From what I see, they are not really corps style either, but whatever. Neck is one of the best stand tunes ever, everyone plays it.

its is sad because, most of lsu's fans adminis. band staff, do not show a respect for what hbcu's bands do; yet they want to copy it in the stands to improve their mass appeal. this reminds me of what happened to jazz and the blues; started for us by us, yet not respected by others until they steal it and try to make it their own, then they show all types of praise upon themselves for being innovative for copying someone else. by the way to me that version is just plain boring.
