Daniel Johnston's "Grievances" at a talent show

[ArtieTheStrongestMan]

@shiftymerchant Your comment was almost as cool as all the videos you have uploaded of your amazing daniel johnston performances.

[Ilovemyfender2]

Clapping fail. Good cover, please redo without stupid audience. :)

[rolf1304]

Very impressive. I would never have the courage to do that.

[DasKapital]

Man, you are really funny. I laughed pretty hard a few times.

[shiftymerchant]

sorry dude but I can do a spot on daniel and want to start a tribute, you on the other hand have nothing on the passion imagination shock and all out madness required to cover daniel.

[itsmetyler]

@shiftymerchant Okay

[televisionlighter]

@shiftymerchant

lol what a pretentious fuck

[televisionlighter]

@shiftymerchant

hahhaha what a pretentious cunt.

[kill3rkomodo]

@shiftymerchant Your a dick

[mptisdope]

@shiftymerchant no one can cover daniel johnston

[jihnwaler05yahoo]

@shiftymerchant who cares? nobody asked you

[televisionlighter]

this is actually very good, its too bad its wasted on an audience of idiot high schoolers

[h4723d]

good job.

[kaylastarkiller]

this is the coolest daniel johnston cover i've ever heard.

[itsmetyler]

Thank you very much. You should check out my performance I did the year after this one. I covered "Museum of Love".

[kaylastarkiller]

that one is awesome, too! ha, i usually don't like covers of daniel's songs, but yours are grand.

[SkUmDiCtAtOr]

wow this is the gayest fucking thing ive ever seen id like to kill this kid was this filmed at some gay christian school my god this shit is horrible someone kill this fucking faggot buttewhite douche bag

[itsmetyler]

ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

Sorry I wasn't able to cover Courtney Love...

[SkUmDiCtAtOr]

@itsmetyler its not a cover its original about our friend courtney love fagboy go killurself

[itsmetyler]

@SkUmDiCgAtor I know it's an original, I was referring to covering your song. Perhaps next time I can have my band play a song in a tiny room in the dark.

[ScumJunkie]

this video is preety bad

[itsmetyler]

Whew, I'm glad it's just the video that's bad. It was a good performance, though, right?

[ScumJunkie]

no not exactly breathe tone singing which is basically what ur doing just a little louder , it sounds real cheezy like even daniel really never sang like that your lacking the soul u seam like ur just trying to be cool but ohnestly ud be alot cooler if u let ur real voice out n quit with ur vocal limitations

[itsmetyler]

That's where you're wrong. You may think that I'm trying to imitate Daniel or do a voice that sounds really cheezy, but that's how I sang it to sound best. I'm not one of those people on YouTube who tries to imitate Daniel's voice to try to capture his tone and early innocence. This was just the best way for me to sing this song when I did this 3 years ago. I was a beginner, I'll admit that it's not great, but I was not trying to imitate anything. That's just how my voice was.

[ScumJunkie]

@itsmetyler wasnt saying ur trying to imitate him ur singing just didnt sound natural i dunno i just think people who sing like that are gonna be doomed to play at starbucks while trashy people who dont care who use more originality will soar i mean look at wingnut dishwasher their singers horrible but they just put out there first real record n its selling , i dunno i just hate cheeseballs on acoustic who think there young beatles although im sure uve dramaticaly changed in 3 years most do

[itsmetyler]

I have changed more than dramatically. It really takes a while to find your true voice. You should check out my performance from the year after this. I think my performance was a lot better, yet, I still got only second place. I covered Daniel's "Museum of Love". watch?v=aTzce2O8mbQ

[Harrysjm]

is this tyler from the yatataris?

[itsmetyler]

It absolutely is!

[SkaterFippe4]

please don't stop making music

[futoncat]

I love the way your guitar sounds. It sounds nothing like a guitar should, but it's really great for this stuff.

Perhaps playing a little softer would make it super awesome, but it definitely works as is.

great job :)

[tayl303]

Good job dude. I'd suggest a little less guitar with the song, but either way, that was awesome.

[res09xnh]

You've single handedly restored my faith in the youth of America

[srhassett]

I like your comment. Vetry nice

[itsmetyler]

Thank you very very very much!

[giallomadman]

It was really nice to see someone in high school playing a Johnston song. Danny would be proud of that. Great job, I instantly subscribed afterwards. Thanks, great day starter.

[manisthebaby]

Your stage show is really good, and wryly hilarious! "Feel free to write down the lyrics as I sing them." Haha!

[theledzeppguy]

Fantastic! Great taste for a high school student.

[channing789]

amazing! would you post the the chords? i like to play it too

[fantasmadec]

wow, a really good cover

[thaees]

congratulations! :)

[DerekMcA]

awesome cover dude. the audience doesn't have a clue, typical high school kids i guess.

[itsmetyler]

Thank you :), did you see my most recent talent show performance? I covered "Museum of Love"

[WarTortuga]

That was really good!

[Redsox07rbeast]

your crowd is really high sprung. The says, "Good evening" and everyone cracks up hysterally. your really really good btw

[ModestMousekateer]

I liked it quite a lot.

Great job!

[itsmetyler]

Thank you very much!

[rafaelmadferit]

I'm a huge Daniel Johnston fan, and I say that it's a good cover.

[cranie4]

You really have the "young" Daniel vibe the way you sang this. Nice.

[itsmetyler]

Thank you!

[dandaman10cc]

great job!

[schavira]

The audience was incredibly rude and failed at clapping. Great cover though, your guitar sounded just like his, which isn't necessarily a good thing, but you have a really nice voice.

[rtock]

Sunglasses where a great idea

[itsmetyler]

Thank you much. =)

[bluedeviltide]

interesting cover, well done kid

[KrisShred]

Well done performance :)

[tommiji]

Great DJ cover! Awesome original tune, man! Yay!

[Disappearer88]

dude you're a genius

[yekhnbeh]

You did a great job on this song. One of the greatest ever written, in my opinion.

[hoozaat]

It is funny that the audience hasn't a clue.....

[WheresPoochie]

Stupendous!

[soccertitan06]

I can hear myself say go tyler... yay

[CastorsPollux]

Nice taste in music. Grievances is one of my favorite songs.

[muttcatdogbreath]

the sunglasses were a bad idea

[slgarcia129]

Sexy. I'm so glad you didn't suck.
