"Game Of Pricks" cover by Jimmy Eat World

[slapdadfish]

@pavimento GBV sounds a lot like The Beatles but no where near as good as (I do love the under 2 minute songs by GBV though.

[randobanana]

No. Just...no.... You cant cover GBV. Robert Pollard is too amazing.

[ConorCascarino]

Check out My Vitriols cover of Game of Pricks way better than this, still gotta love the Jimmy tho!

[tankdrives2]

What a pointless cover,why cover something and make it sound almost exactly like the original except slightly faster,you might as well just listen to the gbv versionl.Least lou barlow interpreted it a different way and thus made it worth listening to,american idol contestants approach there covers more imaginatively and creatively then jimmy do here.proficient? yes interesting? hell no

[leftovervictim23]

Snowing's cover was way better......

[KattenJonsson]

Why is this good?

[dmolmalowski]

well played jimmy eats world, well played!

[SpasticMinnow]

Interesting, I think the version on "Fututre Sound of America" (2004 Moveon.org fundraiser comp) is a little different. I remember it sounding more polished... whether you think that is a god or bad thing is up to you.

[smithjedediah]

Jesus this is awful. Vocals are awful but so is everything else. Weird.

[mrsoultwister]

too rhytmic

[cackermuffin]

this is shit. where the groove at, guys?!

[scoutcollins]

Gotta say, this is a really good cover. I never liked this band much but now I've found two covers by them - the other a Wedding Present song - and they're great.

[WeaponAmerica]

GUIDED BY VOICES!!!!!!

[lukejones1104]

I'm shocked. This is a great cover.

[ColdHeartP]

gbv forever

[Prodigiousguy8]

Thank you Uncle Bobby!

[weddosgedgebizarro]

Sehr Gut!!

[BEACHCOPS]

So cute.

[jbrotheridge]

Good on the little guys for not trying to extend the song or anything.

[xbyiu97]

not gonna lie, i looked up this cover just to see how badly jimmy eat world ruined the song. what a surprise! solid cover

[syunusk]

Awesome. Great cover.

[kanye2west2was2right]

much worse than the original but hard to go wrong with gbv

[alongtheway1]

this is a solid gbv cover

[satanspenis999]

Pretty decent cover, I must say.

[ststephen909]

showing love to Dayton, OH

[jpacemen01]

No matter how they try to fuck this song, nobody will ever be able to....GBV FTW!!!

[lapdogwilly1]

@pavimento....I own every gbv album....and about 50 other albums which are considered to be brp ...(bob related product) ..and that doesn't even count Tobin....and I think this kicks way too much ass!

[twispsalterego]

only good thing they did.

bobby runs my airforce!

[PezPiece]

One of the reasons why I bought Future Soundtrack For America, great song!

[SpOoOokyGhost]

gbv>jimmy eat world, but this song is just so damn good anyone can sing it and it is still amazing.

[pavimento13]

gbv > the beatles

[zazeify]

@pavimento13 I'm glad SOMEBODY finally said it.

[Gumbyrearygood]

@pavimento13

GBV: younger than the Beatles

[rohanso]

@pavimento13 i've bought two box sets in my life: the beatles and gbv.

[ultrakool]

@pavimento13 not even close, although i've always thought rp's vocals sounded like a strange blend of john, paul and george's, all at the same time..

[RebeltubeProductions]

Good cover!!!

[kramerspadowskiki]

this is the ep version i think the guided by voices alien lanes comes right in with the vocals practcally

[Videodrome24]

Thanks for uploading.

[GBVGBVGBVGBV]

i agree black. Let's face.. Nobody but Nobody could cover this song, as My Vitriol have already proved, but they BOTH must be fans so... May Bob Bless Them!

[Blacktelecaster]

have to give them credit for recognizing greatness much larger than themselves

[zzmook]

This is the indie version of The Wallflowers' cover of Heroes - if you're just going to do a half-assed exact cover of the original, why the ef did you release it? +1 on the fail.

[emiliewoodford]

this is horrible. gbv did it best.

[sirmelancholia]

@emiliewoodford Of course they did; Bob Pollard wrote it and is the man.

[parkerscott]

Fail. Too much like the original. Why did they bother. See Nights in White Satin by Dickies or Can't Explain by Snuff for how a good punk cover should sound.

[thejacksaints]

@parkerscott I agree. No point...but still good. And the Dickies and Snuff do some of the best covers EVER, so...

[johnnysurefire]

FIRST. good song i like your channel keep it up
