[Slimhugo18]

@juliapackard Absolutely! I just need an e-mail address, and a promise that you won't stalk me or fill my inbox with spam.

[chicken4562]

[JoeWashaFlocka]

Another cover is needed. try linoleum?

[streetlight5maX]

accords please:)

[Phreemun]

Guys, I actually prefer this to the original, I shit you not. it might be because the original is out of tune, really quite badly. but yeah, Sexy shit guys. subscribed (Y)

[ABetterYesterday]

Respect guys, so much respect. You're just fucking excellent.

[AugieVela]

This is great!

Keep it up guys !

[arneyk2]

Great cover, great harmonies. Great Job!

[NotSoNormal27]

This is by far my favorite song written by Tom. Every time I see a video for a cover of it I think "Meh." You guys killed it. Great job. I like the little back and forth you guys got going on for the story about annie.

Again, great job.

[jillyy11]

this is gooood! the harmonies are bang on!

[blister1324]

Tomas Kalnoky himself would be impressed ;) Ehh! See what I did there! Ahhh? Good job guys

[rastatryo]

great guitar cover !

[SombreNADE123]

THIS IS THE BEST!!!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH 

[teachervb]

You guys are awesome! Keep up with the good work!

[eatplastic]

I would have loved to hear the other verse. Great job guys.

[iixpsyc0xii]

wow, you guys are good.

[cubezero01]

I want to know the last part of the intro soooooooo bad, you know, where it branches off from how the Studio version of the song, been trying to find out what it was by ear for like 3 days now, and i cant! >.<

[couchinator34]

@cubezero01 There is a tab up at ultimate-guitar. If you just search for A Better Place A Better Time and all the way at the bottom should be an acoustic version. I tabbed it after people kept asking about us. Thanks for listening!

[meghanroxx]

omg! you guys are sooo awesomee. you should reallly make more, home skillets! & the singer has a reallly good voice! :D

[TheSamanthaBennett]

Great cover guys! Awesome harmonies :D

[firemakinjoe]

This is so amazing guys, seriously I listen to this cover every day at least 5 times. You guys really should make more, you're both awesome!

[Slimhugo18]

@firemakinjoe Hey dude, I really appreciate the kind words. If you're interested, I've got a good recording we did this past summer. Just drop me an e-mail address and you can listen anytime you want. And it turned out better than this, in my opinion.

[KiddJunior67]

That was really good guys. You should see if you can find some brass players(trumpet, etc..), a drummer and a bass player and you could start up a ska band haha :P

Keep up the good work!

[Slimhugo18]

@KiddJunior67 Yeah see, we actually started as a full ska band like 6 years ago, and that fizzled out eventually. I (Justin) was the trumpet player/backup vox, and he (Mike) was the guitar/lead vox. Ohhh the good ol' days.

[skakid1998]

Make up skacoustic hell no!

[gregorydharris]

awesome job keep it up!!! i love streetlight!

[lilyb56]

[Slimhugo18]

[kiyoka29]

[spork1333]

[mastahbitch]

[ilquartino86]

[pbeller]

[mborgonove]

[yamiam91]

my favorite song of all time, well done fellas, well done.

[CptBonex]

Nice dudes. It was real god!

[MuddyTrails]

hey man, awesome job. do you think i could get my hands on those guitar tabs?

[Slimhugo18]

@MuddyTrails i would totally help you out if i knew 'em man, but alas, i don't know shit about playing guitar. Mike Couche is the guitar player guy, and I do believe he has one of those music page facebook things. If you just send him a message i'm sure he'd be more than willing to share the knowledge. Thanks for watching though :)

[JMort95]

@Slimhugo18 nice voice y guitar

[Slimhugo18]

@JMort95 gracias amigo.

[JMort95]

@Slimhugo18 do you think you can tell me the guitar tabs? or at least the skank pattern. thx

[SMGalvine]

nice!

[SingSabrina]

hey what tabs are you using?

[Reclaim3r]

Not bad, dudes.

[AlexTheColombian]

i love how you guys harmonized. it sounded very well. great job.

[jpemerine]

I've been trying to avoid watching people's covers on one of my favorite bands in hopes they didnt butcher a song. But i'm glad i finally clicked on this video and all I can say is..wow. My expectations for youtube covers are kinda low, I was suprised I found a cover that actually did the song some justice, I was truely impressed.

[jpemerine]

@jpemerine Oh, and to add. I would'nt mind seeing what the two of you could do to some other Streetlight songs. Or any for that matter, keep it up.

[Slimhugo18]

@jpemerine well thanks dude, warm comments are always appreciated. Check out our medley, it's not the same as that sick and sad big sleep sitb medley thing.

[Peace0Love0Music1]

This is really good. But to the singer: It seems like you are straining you voice a bit, almost like it's a little too high for you. But it's still really good. And I <3 this song haha (:

[the1kevman]

Holy shit this is amazing I saw them in concert April 23 and all I can say is holy shit both of your are amazing. Keep on doing what your doing. You two should do point/counter point. AMAZING

[WrittenInWhite]

Its an excellent cover, I sometimes click this one rather than the real one. Does that make me a bad Streetlight fan? :P

[MuddyTrails]

@WrittenInWhite not at all! streetlights songs are supposed to be interpreted differently- this is a great example!

[sgmainstay]

Excellent work, guys. I'm sure if you had brass instruments it would have rivaled the band itself

[Slimhugo18]

@sgmainstay thanks man glad you enjoyed, that is definitely an overstatement though heh Tomas and his music will rival anything I can ever hope to do.

[Headbando5]

I liked it. Great job. 5/5

[schneidtmoney]

to the lead vocalist. This is pretty goof for an acoustic, but maybe incorporating a harmonica to cover the usual whistling and such would add some variety and jazz to it. Also trying not to be flat at times...drink warm water and learn to project a little more to add some rasp instead of flattening out and going high pitch. Tom is a unique talent, but in order to cover him you have to match his pitch.

[Slimhugo18]

@schneidtmoney thanks man, maybe put up a how to sing video for me? I'm curious to see what you can do.

[alyssamichelle1818]

i liked it =] good job do some more =D

[thesoftsquid]

Great harmonies on the guitarist part. And the main vocals, it took me a minute to register your voice but once it was in I enjoyed it quite a bit! At 2:12 you strain and go flat but that's fine. I do that all the time on Kalnoky's songs haha.

[onewaynonstop]

There is something you guys should know: I created a youtube account just for the purpose of commenting on your video. I am always skeptical when I watch cover videos because usually the singers can't sing. You guys are outstanding. This is my favorite band and my favorite song, and I was extremely impressed by your version. The vocal harmonies are amazing! Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

[Slimhugo18]

@onewaynonstop you're way too kind man. But thankyou :)

[theSkaPunkRocker]

Man this is sick! im gona do a cover of this song soon, you should check it out when its up =)

[Yankideska]

Favorited, 5 starred and subbed. you guys really rock, where did u find the chrods tho cus ive been looking forever haha anyway great cover guys :)

[Slimhugo18]

I'm pretty sure he did it by ear, Mike Couche on facebook if you have one, he should have one of those music pages.

[14illmatic]

haha, you skipped the hardest part of the song at the end, why? That's only part of the song i can't sing smoothly myself. Overall, good job though.

[Slimhugo18]

Dude this song gets really hard at parts. There's no point in butchering some glorious Kalnoky music, ya know? We just try to do what we can actually do well.

[14illmatic]

i hear you. aye, thanks for the comments on my vid's. I didn't even realize it. i was just like, "wait, that's the same dude who did the streetlight cover!" lol.

[ohnoitsstacey]

your voice is beautiful :) LY xxx

[BlackJackv3]

i need help should i get nylon strings for this kind of music? Because of the more mellow tone?

[greendayfan234]

i like this because you are not trying to immate tomas' rough voice. cause when people try to do that it usally sounds crappy but yea awesome!

[AubreyElleMusic]

great cover =] didn't see this till i posted mine! haha i like yours better, the harmonies sound awesome.

[Slimhugo18]

Alright I've already said thankyou multiple times, buuut, thanks again :)

[maria9876ma]

That was really good. :)

[JackKnife2161]

Nice cover guys.

[SkakSkakS]

Great sound guys, very good job.

[ReclinerParty1]

This makes me so happy. Good job guys.

[Slimhugo18]

It's nice to know we bring a smile to a face on occasion. Glad you enjoyed :)

[9600867]

Hey is it possible to have a tab that what your making plz

[ahappynugget2]

what guitar is that? AWESOMENESS!

[couchinator34]

its a yamaha, my first real acoustic. not great but its got a great sound.

[Slimhugo18]

oh ho ho and Mikey finally makes his presence known eh?  Maybe you can tell some of these people what the tabs are 'cuz they keep asking me. And I've no idea.

[NicJamesT]

sick guys im mad jealous

[Slimhugo18]

appreciate it man. Take it easy.

[goodtimesontoob]

wow great cover!!!

[Slimhugo18]

Muchas Gracias.

[rydir8910]

This is really great guys, it's nice to hear this one acoustic.

[Slimhugo18]

Many thanks.

[mynormajeans]

Acoustic covers of ska songs are tough, you guys did great :]

[Slimhugo18]

@mynormajeans, much obliged buddy :)

[ghillieman41]

nice!nice! nice!...NICE!!!!

[Slimhugo18]

[EliseYeh]

[Slimhugo18]

Well thanks I think.

[BillyAtAteThirty]

My favourite streetlight song. &this is great! 5 Stars.

[Slimhugo18]

The kind words are greatly appreciated my friend.

[NEFF153]

yeah what chords doi you use i've been looking everywhere for them and i cant find them

[Slimhugo18]

If I knew I'd tell y'all, buuut I've no idea how to play guitar. The guy playin' here is named Mike Couche, i do believe he has one of those facebook music pages. If you just send him a message I'm sure he'd be more than willing to help you out.

[googenshlagen]

@NEFF153

The chorus is G major, D major, E minor, C major

"Looking through the paper..."

"Annies tired of forgetting..."

G major, B major, C major, D major.

[dreadawg71]

Really nice, big streetlight fan.

[strungoutszoo]

I like it, you guys should try some original stuff

[BobMarleyAD]

What chords he use?

[lesthanjakkickas]

amazing

[jedimindtricks10]

Nice nose ;) JEW

[Slimhugo18]

.....wow.

[Slimhugo18]

Thankyou all you people currently showing up on this listing of comments :)

[7hundred7dy7]

One of the better acoustic Streetlight covers I've ever heard.

Kudos.

[ilquartino86]

wow! good perfomance guys:)

[chillbro813]

Beautiful cover, sounds absolutely amazing.

[KathrynEATSHIT]

This is soo good(:

[EvilBenson]

Great cover! On both parts!

[tastethemirrors]

This is cute as hell. You guys are awesome

[sirmarksalot]

This is awesome.

[S0ckless]

intense cover! great job

[Slimhugo18]

Muchas Gracias.

[Nolan1er]

lololol the guy on the right looks like the guy from juno and super bad bahaha

you look kinda awkard with the guitar though man, move your head up a bit !

[Slimhugo18]

Yes, I look like Michael Cera. Er, Michael Cera looks like me. Can you just comment on the music though man? I don't see what difference it makes where my buddy puts his head, and no I'm not trying to make that sexual.

[flipskate999]

you think you just made it up ? lmfao what are you a fucking retard ro something lmfao

[Slimhugo18]

Yes, I am a fucking retard. For when I was writing the description the term "skacoustic" popped in to my head and I can honestly say I'd never heard anyone else say it. So, if you happen to know someone that consistently throws such a term out there, good for fucking you. Now, if you have something to say about the actual music then I'm all ears. Otherwise, just hush. Fuckin' punk.

[Dickfidd]

Awesome I wish I could play with you guys.

[Otherien]

also this was amazingly awesome sauce!

[Otherien]

Where did you get the tab?

[Slimhugo18]

He did it by ear.

[verradain]

This is pretty sick man.. Great stuff! Keep it up

[Antroniac]

truly awesome.

[philupcasey]

hey where can i find good tabs for this song?

[Slimhugo18]

Just practice and figure out notes man, it'll help your playing along instead of teaching you how to sound like other people.

[TheSkalars]

You guys gotta make another one!

[edes421]

fantastic, both of you, amazing voices awesome guitar, just amazing

[Slimhugo18]

Thankyou, the kind words are muchly appreciated.

[KungFuKid0622]

FUCKIN RAD!!!

[Slimhugo18]

Much obliged my friend.

That's fancy talk for "thankyou".

[Dinkhai]

Two dorky guys in a bedroom performing a song. One of my favourite songs; and excellently performed. Love it.

Great vocals, flawless guitar and absolutely loving those harmonies. Good going guys!

[Slimhugo18]

Well thankyou, sincerely. :)

[jukkaman24]

[Slimhugo18]

Heh, thanks man, spread the knowledge!

[rvisgod]

You guys are amazing!! The guitar player is great! & both of you have amazing voices!

[JBOSully924]

[Slimhugo18]

look up Mike Couche on facebook, he should have one of those music page things. He's the one playin' the guitar here so I'm sure he'd be willing to help you out.

[cdsnatcher]

good singing and guitar, i know how hard it can be to hit some of those notes

[skatershoesluver7]

[xLanii6Lo0o0veex]
