This is the fucking worst cover of it ever! Absolutely butchered the song! This is may even be worse than the All Saints one!
I can't even believe their playing and singing it all giddy and shit. This song was about Anthony Keitis nearly losing his life and actually losing the life his friend and founding bandmate Hillel Slovak to a heroin overdose. Fucking disrespectful on too many levels.
The song itself sounds nice if you've just heard it for the first time and you don't understand the meaning behind the words, you'd be quite disappointed. I completely understand why Anthony Keidis hated this. This song was supposed to depict his most dreadful days. I feel like the cover for the song doesn't do well in showing that.
I loved this cover, don't know why so many people are hating. Maybe because they are biased and don't really want to admit that this is good, instead they complain like fags to can feel important over the internet.
@depotst I suppose you mean that I say I love this cover in order to feel important over the internet? I'm not really sure... If you think that's the case, you're wrong.
I honestly like this cover, though the last part is a bit crap.
ok you guys gotta calm down about this cover. they are not trying to do their own brand new song, but pay tribulte to one of the best songs ever written, i think that the guitar in this song is very creative and new, and i like it a lot. i also realize that it is nothing compared to john frusciante, and never will be 1/36th as good as john. i acutally like this song and respect this as a good cover
naturally the orig. is ALWAYS going to be better, and have more emotion when played, not taking away anything from this version as it was pretty entertaining as well ;]. This is why this version, among the many, is just a COVER guys. I love RHCP as much as the next fan, but this is seriously just a cover with their own take on it as FANS THEMSELVES. get a grip ppl, by saying this version sucks, you're not doing anything protecting your rep as RHCP fanatics, you're just hating.
u gotta respect the way the diddnt take the song and play it the exact same like some bands do. i liked the way the guitar did alot of muted strings it made a bit more of a reggae style but thats just my opinion
ps for an example just check out plain white ts cover of song 2 ... i just cant understand the lack creativity these bands put into some of their music
excuse me sir that blue thing with the strings there, correct me if im wrong but i believe that is a guitar and not a drum machine/device of intense failure
I usually am good at taking covers with a grain of salt, but this was just bad. I think when trying to mix two different styles, it's very questionable. Not always a bad thing, but in some cases it just doesn't translate, this is one case it didn't translate.
the bassist and guitarist suck balls and he screwed up the chorus by adding that little pause before feel, and love.And then he tottally screwed it up by add that dumb bridge crap at the end. If you agree don't be afraid, just reply.
Ok, I don't agree, I think it's agreat cover, i really expected travis' voice to be terrible, but he sang well and he's changing it up and making it a live variation. love the rap verse in their MCCOY IS KING!!!!
i love all versions, this version isnt an exception now NO ONE WHO COVERS under the bridge can TRULY know what all the lyrics are about, i know as much as its about flea and johns addiction to drugs and anthonys emotions about that and feeling isolated from the rest, but they did a better job than mot people on youtube can ever do, gj gch!
I like both bands, i like both versions, i think the people who are putting up negative comments cant even play the fuckin song themselves and i think its hilarious that anyone with an email address can get a youtube account to bash stuff they know nothing about. If they simply reproduced the song exactly as is you all would still find problems with it.
its garbage. song is about loneliness and drug addiction and shouldn't sound happy haha, >>> also theere isnt nearly as much passion played like when rhcps play it
don't forget the fact that this song is personal to the band and keidis, talking about their past, emotions and their experiences through younger drug life
It's not a matter of Opinion. RHCP is the essence. Gym Class Heroes is silly and not as great, they don't aspire to be. They ruined a legendary song. If you think Gym class heroes is okay that's your opinion. If you compare them to RHCP then you don't know anything about music.
mobysick9... im going to have to assume that u are having me on!? And if you're not, then get a grip! Im not going to entirely slate this, because u cant get any worse than the All Saints version, but its not good. But on the plus side, at least they havent tried to make money off it by releasing it as a single.
Im an avid RHCP fan and ive never really listened to Gym Class Heroes, but I think this is a really cool cover. They really make it own. To those people saying its bad because its totally changed...just look at the cover Higher Ground RHCP did of Stevie Wonder. Does that song suck because its totally different from the original? No, its just doing its own thing
i feel ya dude. the song doesn't have like the same mood, but it has its own twist to it. basically saying too that they respect the chili peppers too.
Man I would love having someone cover my song especially from a different genre. I dont think this was that bad at all and I'm saying this as one of the biggest rhcp and frusciante fan out there
in all honestly people which cover is the worst... This Gym Class one (which i personally think is ok) or All Saints!? (Which i think is the worst ever cover that was atempted in the history of music....EVER!lol)
hey assholes i wanna see all of you go up there and have the balls to even do half the shit they do so shut the fuck up and enjoy music you dumb fucks ruin the 'spirit' of music and its meaning, who cares if the RHCP wrote it personally, anyone will cover it and it still has the same meaning so shut the hell up all you pissed off people who have no balls to do this yourself
man, they totally screwed up a great song. and the problem is that much of you GCH fans dont understand it when we, the RHCP fans complain. listen, this song is made by the Red Hot Chili Peppers because of their drugs addiction. this song has got a lot of meaning and emotions in it, it tells how they felt, it tells how it is to be on drugs; it has a true meaning attached to it. when the GCH sing it, it sounds ridiculous because the song's not about them and they didnt experience that
i know rhcp arent the only people who do drugs in the world, but their experiences differ from that of gym class heroes, and tbh i dont think its right that they did a cover of this song when it doesnt apply to themselves. rhcp are writing about personal experiences.
I think your whole comment about GCH ruins emotion in the song is patently untrue. This song isn't only about drugs (and to be honest just because a person isn't a junkie doesn't mean they haven't been adversely affected by drugs) it introduces themes of alienation, hopelessness, and despair. Which are pretty universal themes in this world of ours.
Plus as a musician myself, I would be flattered to have my songs covered. Music to me is a very social art, if people didn't want to play and sing
alright rhcp are easily the greatest band of all time no arguement and i personally think gym class did a sick job on this, and sashi is an extremely underated guitarist.
thx for ruining one of the greatest songs ever written. u guys suk and dont realize that this song is not built around rythm but harmony. u botched this song bad. especially with ur fukn rap at the end
I understand that bands do covers, most bands do, if not all of them. But this is by far one of the worst damn covers I have ever fucking heard. They butchered such a beautiful song. Why would such an awful band be allowed to cover a song this good? It is a crime.
Yeah, just meant to point out that when it's played live, a strat is used (I know there's an entire acoustic rendition, but that wasn't exactly a live show per say..), but I agree there isn't a Frusciante on this vid. It's good to see originality in covers, not just pure copies.

Okay, first, they did amazing for their genre of music.
Two, when a band covers a song they are never trying to make it the exact way; they put their own spin on it.
Gym Class Heroes are amazing. They did an amazing job.
They didn't copy this song exactly like ever other fucking band out their and call it a cover. THEY USED SOME ORIGINALITY.
FUCK YOU.
THEY ARE KICK ASS.

alright rhcp are easily the greatest band of all time no arguement and i personally think gym class did a sick job on this, and sashi is an extremely underated guitarist.

I know they are so gay, that's why Travis goes out with Katy Pery...
Well done.

I understand that bands do covers, most bands do, if not all of them. But this is by far one of the worst damn covers I have ever fucking heard. They butchered such a beautiful song. Why would such an awful band be allowed to cover a song this good? It is a crime.

Yeah, just meant to point out that when it's played live, a strat is used (I know there's an entire acoustic rendition, but that wasn't exactly a live show per say..), but I agree there isn't a Frusciante on this vid. It's good to see originality in covers, not just pure copies.
