Gnarls Barkley - Reckoner (Live Radiohead Cover)

[mscalise94]

sickkk

[comixnerd91]

pretty cool

[dlettier]

Amen.

[tpomo2]

Tambourine man is in the zone.

[Nokiathrower]

Hmmm... His voice ...... hard to say but i dont like it

[mrcrapstick99]

I love it. My fav song from in rainbows and a great cover

[kristianbejb]

he is like deák bill gyula.

almost the same. not bad.

[therew1nder]

LOL blown away. Great job Gnarles.

[darealratchet]

este chavoo tiene tanto talento

kmo tiene pansa XP

[MasterBitting]

Yeah as bad as I thought that a cover of Radiohead would be this turned out great.

Go Gnarls

[rector]

weird

[texashigh10]

I'm one of those die-hard Radiohead fanboys, but I half to admit this is the one Radiohead cover I really really like.

[SideshowRob18]

did you just say "half to"?

[eddyheart]

I totally agree. He can pull it off without a falsetto, too

[huginandmunin]

seems like they had a ton of fun with this song

[beastier86]

Gnarls does an amazing performance right here.

[muzgOt]

yeah.

this man is da Onda..

[TheTimpaniPimpani]

his voice is fantastic for this song, but it really doesn't need any effects on it.

[jprigby91]

it's hard for any band to do radiohead justice, but i must admit that his voice is magical and definitely suits this song.

[frumpola]

it actually sounds pretty jazzy to me

[KrakkaJax]

Anybody who says this is a poorly done version is a biased Radiohead fanboy.

[caiaum2]

epic voice

[TheTexanAtheist]

I love it! it's better than Radiohead's live performance of this song. But definitely not better than the studio version.

[Yog1Yog1Bear]

ajkalabr hishtu van dish

[copihuestate]

My god ! .. he is destroying the song with that voice .. They should never do this again ..

Radiohead deserves more respect than that .

[abuellwu]

I got to disagree Cee-lo has a beautiful and soulful voice.

[tomsega]

Great cover, but it'd be so much nicer if he startly softly then got bigger, ala Radiohead.

[slipknotkittegrl]

gotta love the wif beater

[metalissue]

This is a really nice cover... liked it

[Jack458111]

cee lo is a shaman

[Yukiosoup]

el wn bakam *O*

[jnburch]

not bad not thom but not bad

[fernandon]

:D Neat!!

[dhungryman]

good cover. just shows how great Radiohead is for creating the song and how much vocal range Thom Yorke has. Cee-Lo is probably the only male singer that could come close to matching Thom's vocals and he's honestly not that close.

[thelannyboyermusic]

What are you talking about..??..?? He's the ONLY male singer that could come close to matching Thom Yorke?

Hogwash dude.

Thom sings this entire song almost entirely in falsetto, and this dude is belting the mofo. Other than it being the same song & vocal line, there's really no similarities here between the two. Have you put In Rainbows in your disc changer yet?

[feisal70]

Gnarls Barkley is full of love...

[sebas9232]

no just no......

[dwc211283]

this guy is just a fat fucking niger who sings like he has a peg on his nose.

radiohead are one of the greatest bands to walk the earth and this fat reject trys to cover it...wtf america??????????? get a grip

[avhua]

racist

[DianaGutted]

Get a grip you tit

[nightbuffalo]

shut it you racist, provincial wanker. who the f are you? a spokesdouche for radiohead? shut it.

[lordzeb121]

You must be a bit jealous looking at a real musician and knowing you'll always be a wannabe

[NickNorie15]

shut up nazi jr.

[shanikaa]

people shouldnt cover radiohead songs.. it just doesnt work at all . at all... at all..

[BlownWideOpen]

People should give tribute to whoever they want... Radiohead is a great band and if someone wants to attempt a cover, go for it...

[HoboDragon]

anyone but panic at the disco, their cover of karma police was obscene.

[Jongho]

Gnarls Barkley + Danger Mouse + Radio Head = Goodness^3

[nakedfunk]

What an amazing cover!!! :O

[viumanent]

great video, amazing cover, can't wait for march, radiohead finally in Chile

[Bestevus]

Given that it is live and therefore bound to be a bit rustier than the original studio rendition, this is a good song for Cee-lo. It wouldn't be too terrible if they formally recorded it some time.

[easyluckyfree7]

i think this a truly beautiful rendition

[kojack57]

Very good verison of a very cool song.

[clokverkorange]

Man this guy's voice beings a whole new dimension to the song...I love the faster tempo too. I;d like to hear a studio version!

[phillipjfry]

decent cover, awesome song.

[raedeeohed]

All these whiney Radiohead fanboys almost make me embarrassed to be a Radiohead fanboy. I like this cover and I have to give Gnarls Barkley credit for pulling it off so well.

[Guest4000]

Agreed. As a radiohead fan, this cover is just amazing.

[OneManAndHisToaster]

Very nice version, although i prefer by far the Radiohead version (:

[The1337Juice]

Yeah this guy is horrible. His voice is just annoying.

[shanikaa]

no doubt.. Thom will always win.. he has the most beautiful voice.. apart from sigur ros's Jon.

This dude is just a screaming/wailing whale. (I'm horrible)

[Boiblu1914]

I think Both versions are great in and of themselves. Cee-lo's nasally, vibrato-filled voice works wonderfully in that higher Octave. Thom is just Crack Cocaine and a butter scotch; his voice is so haunting... I can't chose. LOl

[fallensniper15]

if you don't compare thom's voice to this, then it is good, but having listened to thom, it just doesn't do justice.

[dlettier]

Amazing.

[libelle156]

i think he's got guts for attempting it. this just shows what an amazing song reckoner is

[krace89]

this is painful to watch.. not that its necessarily bad.. but i just think that no one should attempt thom's songs. fuck.

like the drums had to be simplified.. and uGH! if your a true radiohead fan, you wouldn't settle

[lordzeb121]

music speaks for itself, being a radio head fan or not.....and this music speaks for itself....both are great, its just a great song and thom and Cee-lo are great singers....i hate how when faced with covers ppl think to like one you must hate the other...

[shanikaa]

you cant beat thom's voice on this song.. but I dont mind it.. as long as I dont have to watch it..

[lastcatamount]

willowalo its a spin on how the song is sung you ignorant buffoon learn up a little bit on the real version before you go bashin gnarls you wish you could sing like this...but you're voice is probably worse than william hungs so you sit here and make stupid remarks...

[willowalo]

This guy sounds fucking retarded.

[TheChawMan]

This is an awesome cover.

[DrErnst]

Is it gnarls who sometimes sit in a chair in his performances?

[bridgesmatt]

gnarls barkley is just a made up name for Cee-Lo Green (Singer) and Danger Mouse (the guy with the afro and sunglasses)

[luckybuddha12]

I didn't know that was Danger Mouse! Awesome!

[chloe556]

i likee

[hxclunsford]

its the same thing but insted of tom its this fuck sininging

[BlUeCoLdCuCuMbErS]

UNIQUE PURELY UNIQUE

[BinglesI]

The song's by Radiohead. So that's wrong

[gellerstudent]

lol...

[shanikaa]

and boobs

[dipnasty]

gnarls got soul

[omerik11]

His vocie reminds me of the chants Moby uses in his tracks.

gives it a feel like Radiohead/Moby mesh up

nice....

[bridgesmatt]

haha i didnt know what you meant until i heard him start to sing. agreed.

[omerik11]

Reminds me of the chant samples Moby uses

gives it 'Moby/Radiohead mesh up' feel...

[Salamanderrijnberk]

he surely sings a hell of a lot better then that guy from bloc party...... i've loved radiohead for years and this is definately the best song on their latest album .. never thought gnarls barkley would cover this song in such a grand way though

[bridgesmatt]

i used to like bloc party but now they just annoy me, mainly cause of his voice.

[brcborges]

When i saw "Radiohead Cover" i thought to myslekf it's probably awful because i love Radiohead and it was unlikely to think that somene else playing thei music could be even good but after watching this i have to say: Absolutely amazing.

[Blocparty01]

I liked it until he started singing

[kaputtekatti]

sheer beauty.

[StewieKillsAll]

soooooooo sick

[pylonsz]

This is fucking amazing.

[iamnoparenthesis]

love the tongue

[FranMotion]

hoooolyy crap! I Love it!

[billgermany2000]

the lion sleeps tonight

he sounds like dude from the nylons

love it

[shutteredmemory]

wow, he ruled this song, i thought he would totally ruin it...wow, good job gnarls

[MissusHow]

oh shit I love this so much. I wish I could download it.

[tankjedimaster]

sorry bu this should only be song by thom

[Palixia]

This is good, but it shouldn't be.

[gunz0411]

hahahahahahah

[viviankemp]

we're the best ;-) don't be mad

[davestany]

Muslims ought to try doing this one in their Mosques its similar but much better.

[Nufarhan]

LOL!

[davestany]

....And has real meaning without a load of superstition ,fear and self- centredness that religions have.

Its got a religious feeling ,more when thom sings it, but is a much more healthy chant as its origional.They may as well chant this one it has rhythm.Maybe play it over the loud speakers and teach it to everybody.

[clubland459]

Couldn't have put it better myself.

[davestany]

Thanks ,sometimes i have these marvelous ideas ,glad you see the wealth and sanity in this one to.

[clubland459]

That percussionist looks so cool with his smart jacket, dark glasses and dicky bow, and how he's turned away from the audience. Its ace.

[GBDMCLG]

I`ve seen them live...and he didn`t face the audience once. He said in an interview that he was afraid he was going freak out if he did

[Amnesiac335]

He sounds like cleveland from family guy

[crago121]

A great cover to one of the greatest rock songs ever. Truley great.

[TheTwilight]

oh my god. no.

[sparo2006]

amazing and beautiful!!

god i love radiohead and gnarls are awesome

this is brilliant

[elBOBAnme]

cabron

[TheTexanAtheist]

puta

[PJWindle]

I am a fan of both of these bands but a HUGE fan of Radiohead. This is a really cool take on an amazing song. He doesn't TRY to make his voice sound like Thom's because let's face it... there are no singers like him. What CeeLo DOES do is sing it his way... and it's a hat tip to Radiohead. You have to like when people respect a band's music enough to make a cool rendition of it.

[FishSticksFile]

When I saw the title i thought "oh no this will be a train wreck", but I have to admit its an interesting take on the song.

[fratmasterflex]

keep in mind, few people on earth can reproduce the vocals of Thomas Yorke, with the feeling he does. I appreciate the fact that two totally different genres can appreciates each other so much to cross racial devides... pay attention to whats really happening.

[vziou]

as bas as his outfit

[iamthebyron]

2:39

[otterpopable]

Great cover, what a honor it would be to be covered by the 'Gnarls Barkley ' gang

[sayguayo]

Please...

[otterpopable]

you're welcome

[sayguayo]

"you're welcome" would be a response to thank you...stupid bitch..thank you :)

[TheTexanAtheist]

lmfao! that fat dude looks and sounds hilarious! looks like he's wearing a fat suit...actually kinda liked it...different =D

[yayyyitssalina]

this has to be the worst cover EVER

[4everblowinbubbles0]

i like but i think it's just bc radiohead lays down some easy sick shit... it's so basic. but i luv it.

[Khaa8]

This Cover Rulezzz, great voice.

[chamberk]

this cover rules

[evanazo]

lol, i thought it was pretty sweet. geez relax people! the guy still has a great voice.

[crxgenesis]

i head this while attending austin city limits just last year and now i fucking hate this bitch......! he gnarls himself should know this song could not have been done by him.......! he's gay and his cover is even more gay....... fuck you gnarls for fucking up a work of art...... !

[shorty61292]

Yeah I was at ACL too and saw him do this... I just don't think I feel as strongly about it as you do, as a big fan of Cee-lo & Danger Mouse, and Radiohead. It's just hard to beat Thom Yorke's vocals.

[volatilenigma]

he... gnarls??? it just don't get no more ignorant than that...

[XsergiomooreX]

thank you for speaking the obvious of whats frequently said about any cover. noone cares you went to austin city limits anyway

[Dean0017]

Man....I was getting redy to bash this, but is actually rather well done.

Just like that reggae redo of OK Computer.

[Karynpl]

Cee-lo is the BEST!

[ThunderKid]

Is he an Alto? Thom's a Tenor and sings this whole song in falsetto.

[Raokenx]

Very cool, Cee-Lo Green is a bad ass

[sport90]

wow!

one of the best radiohead covers ive seen...better than panic's pathetic attempt!

[Tomgoldswain]

Hasnt quite got the range of complexity in his voice to give it enough justice. Individual but doesnt 'make a statement'.

[marcianoide]

Very nice

[fernandostanlei]

Me gustó

[tnman39]

That's a damn respectable cover.

[wideheadofknowledge]

Wow. Nice job.

[likepiano]

dönüp bunu okuyacağım

[wellivebeen]

ok!

[phaching]

Kinda funny how his voice cracks in his only attempt to sing it in the key in which it was meant to sung, and how he compensates by reverbing his voice. But, I have to say it still sounds pretty good, and I have a lot of respect for his willingness to give props to the greatest band ever.

[7djomba7]

he DOES sing in the same key only that unlike thom he doesn't sing with falsetto, but with a normal, chest voice (which is much harder to do for high notes)

[Gordilito]

harder and dangerous cause if you can´t hold the tone you will be in shame

[Scoots515]

i think when artists step out and try somethin new. its cool i really love it. Better than Radioheads version. this is the first time i have ever seen or heard of this man . i like his boldness. kudos to this artist. Radioheads version is cool to tho. and Sebastian Tellier did it his very own wondeful way as well

[domiareas]

How do get that whole show anyone?

[tharmsvt]

I saw it on msnbc's site. They have a live concerts page.

[Armistice0]

This was surprisngly good. Fresh.

[hatrick1640]

gordo culiao q se cree

[wolveslikeme]

this guy has balls to try and cover radiohead.

[smokingmole]

ive now listened to this 6 times in a row

[hotfuss84]

I can sing this the same as Thom, well not as good obviously, but I think this version is pretty good too!

[feisal70]

the epicness!!!

[lymecat]

I'm sorry but LOL I died

I like GB and I'm a fool for Radiohead but this is just not him.

[TheiMark3000Show]

this is so cool. i love G B and I love radiohead.

[awulright]

I got so excited listening to the part before the vocals and I can't say I was disappointed. It's definitely not Thom Yorke, but it was still pretty damn cool.

[tinkjackson]

amazing amazing cover i love both bands and this is awesome!

[andysamur]

no podes hacer eso gordo

[domiareas]

Anyone that talks shit about this. Must be listening to something from another planet something no one else can get there hands on

[Itheprosperone]

People who talk shit about this see music as a one dimensional art form with no room for experimentation, further musical interpretations or personal artist expression. They fail to realize music is alive and evolving. Their mindsets of black and white have a hard time being flexible enough to enjoy music on its deeper levels. :D

[Schwingaling]

The instrumentals on this cover are fine, but that's not the point of this song. The main focus is the vocals, and his voice simply doesn't fit this song. It's so much harsher than Yorke's. 2/5.

[ebexperience]

i agree, the vocals completely blow, i mean i happy people like this song and want to cover it but i think only thom yorke can pull this song off

[blankpapers]

the point of a cover is that its not supposed to be the exact same as the original song. if that were so, why cover it in the first place? i personally love radiohead, and though I prefer radioheads version to gnarls barleys, i enjoy this cover and respect them for covering it.

[designcliche]

Actually the band does pretty good, it's the horrible vocals.. so nooo, they don't butcher all of Radiohead. I like Gnarls as much as the next but this is just too much.... it's just wrong....

[doener21]

sorry but this version is the better one

[designcliche]

Those are some of the worst vocal effects I have ever heard. Super delay X Super Echo X Nasally whiny fat man voice = Reckoner's Demise.......... Who is this fat man and why did he just butcher Thom Yorke?

[chris278]

why dont u fuckin sing it then see if u can get it as perfect .

and its radiohead as a band not just thom yorke

[YoungCham1]

lol music has no limit fellas

[tonymackjr]

To 'attempt' to disrespect Gnarls Barkley or Radiohead is utter and complete ignorance of music itself. Enuff, said. Thats what its all about... Im Mighty out.

[jimmymcmenamin]

The original is a mindblower, and this is a great cover - that voice is one in a million.
