  • Scott looks so incredibly badass with the shades and jean jacket

  • I have watched this video a kabillion times and i JUST NOW noticed that there is a mirror at the end of the hallway!!!

  • Anyone else come here trying to find a popular christian metal band?

  • Mmmm, yes. I approve of these Avetts.ಠ_ರೃ

  • Comment removed

  • Theres nothing i love more than listening to good music and being able to picture them playing it exactly how it sounds on the studio version, live. That's how you tell the good bands from the rest :)

  • god i love these guys, where has their music been my whole life lol

  • nappy strings ftw

  • .... This isn't For Today....

  • @TheRattlehead92 I know right haha :D

  • I'm gonna hear these guys tonight. ahh.

  • we had tornadoes in our area yesterday. the only things i packed to go under the house with me was my laptop, phone, passport and ticket to see the avett brothers in october...

  • @misskittykicker I once ran to safety 100 yds in a tornado and went back for concert tix in the dash of my truck...

  • @drivebytruckerz true dedication

  • Thank God for good music.

  • @Protecsafari maybe thank the artists involved, god's obviously not in the lineup

  • @desirefirst his belief in god does not affect you in the slightest. he is not disrespecting your beliefs so please do not disrespect his :)

  • Best part: 2:05 mark. Result of playing together for life. I love those brothers.

  • That look on his face at (2:04) when the word "Clean" falls, almost painfully, from Scott's lips.

  • Comment removed

  • never gave this band a chance until i heard this tune, sad thing about that is this band comes from a town 20 minutes away from were i was born

  • Like if you searched for the band for today and got this and LOLED

  • @logiwogiwogi I love both For Today and the Avetts. Both are class acts and great bands.

  • @logiwogiwogi like if you decided to look up the band For Today and thought they sucked ass and went back to watching The Avetts

  • i think the only reason this song has 18 dislikes is because there are 18 deaf people that are disgruntled because they can't hear how good this song is...

  • lol gentlemen, let's not listen entirely to fratboy rock and indie music. take a trip to the record store and realize we're a bunch of cocks

  • @opiatetool41, I couldn't agree with u more. eatamymeata needs to clean the "sugar daddys" out of his ears, then listen to this song again! He missed something?

  • ...butchered

  • @eatamymeata butchered????Your a goofball who has no idea what talent is.By the way Jessica and the Avetts are good friends.

  • @opiatetool41 i won't assume you don't play music, but i have plenty of friends who play who aren't good. it's just a matter of professionalism where you don't talk trash about your friends. this sounds like a house party drunkenly playing their favorite song and the result product sounding exactly like a bunch of drunkards playing the butcher to a beautiful song. try playing zeppelin as drunk as bonham and see if you can do justice to their canon of beauty (btw bonham is a god/ no comparison)

  • @eatamymeata You know, there's nothing worse than someone who writes shitty comments on videos for no other reason than to be an asshole..So you don't like their version of this song, then fine, don't listen.But all of you morons out there who feel like they need to throw in their 2 cents about bands they happen not to like are really just douchebags.Also I was seeing Zeppelin in concert long before you were born and I can guarantee that if Bonham was alive he would be a huge Avett Brothers fan.

  • @eatamymeata Nothing better then an original covered and butchered. Butchered is good! I don't want to hear the same fucking version you cunt. Zep butchered' Nobody's fault but mine' and it was good. Jack White butchered ' Death letter' and it was good. So sayeth the lord. Now go fuck yourself.

  • I am confused why the lyrics are " I could care less about you, I love the sound of you walking away" If one "could care less" one still cares a little bit and there is still room to not care more. Shouldn't the lyrics be " I couldn't care less about you". Nonetheless, I the love the song, but those lyrics confuse me, just hoping someone could clear it up for me.

  • @kc125006 You're just being too much of a grammarian. People say "I could care less" in everday usage and it is accepted that what's meant is "I couldn't care less." Plus, lyrics get the benefit of poetic license. Props to your english teachers, but just let your soul take this one.

  • what a great song jessica lea mayfield wrote!

  • Banjos, beards and halls of blue! That's one of the best covers I've ever heard!

  • I got a recording of a new Avett Brothers song on my channel! Is that true? No. But maybe you haven't read this far into my comment, and you just jumped right to my channel, and are listening to the song that I DO have there, which is an original song of mine. And maybe you're a little pissed, but less so as you listen to the song and realize it isn't a waste of your time!

  • i think i'm responsible for several hundred of these views...

    

  • Scott you better lock your doors and chain your windows, i'm stealing you, your banjos, and all your guitars.

  • I think that the Avett Brothers try to write bad music.

    and they fail terribly

  • No trying to hate on JLM, but the Avett Brothers take that song to another level.

  • ive watched this video a million times but i never get tired of it. there just so good i can go forever with just listening to them and they dont get annoying.

  • i know them and amazed every time wow wow wow

  • It doesn't get much better than this

  • Who would dislike this video?

  • Who would dislike this video?

  • its too much i love the way they do everything honestly thank you so much

  • Wearing beards to make music to wear beards to

  • The Purest

  • Somehow, these guys doing THIS song have penetrated a crack in my armor, and this just bores deep into my soul. Every painful failed love comes back from the dead in an instant, and wraps around me like a cold fog. Something is really wrong with these guys-or me. Maybe something's really right. I don't know, but this affects me like nothing else ever has.

  • i agree, how are some people so talented?! hah

  • @sleddog71 I almost have to be thankful for the painful failed loves in my life...there's almost a freedom in going through and moving past the pain. Freedom enough that keeps pushing us along to our destiny. You can catch a sense of that kind of liberation in this song, I think.

  • Don't get me wrong... I love the original Jessica Lea Mayfield version but.... I'm pretty sure The Avett Brothers just made this song 10,000 times better!

  • Go search MIPSO TRIO right now(actually, wait until this amazing song is over) and then listen to them. They are an uprising band similar to Avetts.. Like this up to spread the word to an Avett-inspired band! Go Avetts and GOOOO MIPSOOO!

  • Chords anyone?

  • @XCallXMeXmatt its a simple G C progression with a D at the "oh these words they sound so (then back to G) sweet" and then a D in the chorus somewhere too. if that doesnt help just google it.

  • @beezyl90 im sorry its back to C before sweet. im pretty sure. also they have a capo on but im not sure which fret maybe 2

  • @beezyl90 When Jessica Lea Mayfield plays it, I think the capo's on 4.

  • @beezyl90 Thanks brotha man.

  • 18 people were at the wrong end of this song when they heard it

  • 18 people were at the wrong end of this song when they heard it

  • its like the bros. are competing to have the last note at the end

  • @jackblacksutube

    after i read your comment and watched that, that was some of the funniest shit i've seen in a while, thank you

  • @peakinonmesc haha yep

  • this song made me see clearer

  • why are they so fucking amazing???? Love you avett brothers!!!

  • :( ......... good song.

  • i f*cking love this song!!!

  • 18 people were expecting the band For Today.

  • my mom was these guys chorus teacher.

  • @IanCooked shut up no way

  • @TheVeedubb lol its true and she says that one of them was a skater kid.

  • I'm just thankin' God for the 1, 139 people that realize what truly good music is. :)

  • it's like i know how good this video is, but I'm still AMAZED every time i watch

  • @jdhfcp that's how I feel when I watch their Tiny Desk Concert for NPR

  • @jdhfcp I post it to facebook everytime I watch it. My friends have to be completely annoyed but I really do not care.

  • i dont know what to say really, raw but masterfully done.

  • Just saw these guys at Suwanee SpringFest!! F-ing amazing live!!

  • 16 people listen to Kesha

  • 16 people were victimized by statistics after deciding they didn't like a video that I thought was pretty good.

  • Love it! Not as good as Chittlins version, but still love it.

  • notice how they dont have any fancy equipment just microphones and instruments..... and thats why anything auto-tuned can touch this masterpiece

  • back again, I listen to this atleast once a day! PERFECT makes me smile

  • I love the sound of you walking away and I can see clearer and i'm getting closer to finding out just who i am without you in the way - CLASSIC

  • 16 people have been molested by Dee Snyder!

  • Cant stop listening to this, PERFECT WORDS suits my life, but only FOR TODAY

  • i swear crackerfarm wants me NOT to do my homework

  • @danthemantompkins: If that were true, the cellist would hand his bow to the banjo guy and they'd do something interesting a little less commonplace with those instruments.

  • @danthemantompkins

    excellent comment!!

  • i absolutely love this song !

  • Well then madisoncoleman, you best get off the computer and get back to the other 14 watchin' that tv with your parents....

  • A man with a beard is a man who answers to no one. - Austin

  • I didn't know Chuck Norris and his brother formed a band.

  • love these two but im a bit jealous of the fact that im in a profession where i have to cut my hair every month and shave everyday.wish i could let my hair grow and my beard too.if i could play banjo,hell that would be cool too!

  • Real talent to spare !!!!!!

  • The cello's sounds really nice in this one.

  • @madisoncoleman 16 now. ...losers.

  • @madisoncoleman Or 15 people like a different kind of music. Music should make you open minded, not the other way round.

  • @madisoncoleman well i do too but i still like this video! :)

  • My favorite brother is the one with the beard.

  • I really like the brother with the beard.

  • I love this song. I'm SO glad they covered it!

  • I really like the Avett Brothers. Folks, this is PURE, INNOCENT, INTELLIGENT, HARMONIOUS music at its best.

  • I just can't even begin to explain my love for the Avett Brothers

  • 15 people don't understand true beauty.

  • Simply awesome

  • dig the shades scott

  • I love it when the guys look like Jesus :-)

  • i know people who are self proclaimed "haters" of your genre of music who melt anytime i play anything of yours. way to convert!

  • how could you even dislike this :O

    this is amazing :)

    they are amazing <3

  • i like their cover of this song, she is awesome too tho. bitchin beard! ;)

  • Anyone know where you can download this song?

  • Saw TAB at Bonnaroo 2010 & Peir Six 10-16. They are too good to be mainstream. You gotta be off the tilt to understand how deep this music is.

  • cool

  • saw Chitlin play it last night with her awesome brother, Akron grows rockstars

  • They aren't like mountain men, they ARE mountain men, hehe. They're from concord if I'm not mistaken. I miss the peasents days in greenville.

  • one of my favorite live bands. they actually put out a new live album, it's streaming in full over at spinner if you're interested...incredible.

  • one of my favorite live bands. they actually put out a new live album, it's streaming in full over at spinner if you're interested...incredible.

  • The only bad thing I can think of about the Avett Brothers is this - they've made some of my favorite music in the world a little more bland. No one can do what they do, which is awesome, I don't want anyone to try honestly. But as soon as I heard them every other artist or band I like got knocked down a level. So, there you go. The only negative thing any sane person could ever say about the Avett Brothers.

  • @drusucks if that's actually true.. allow me to recommend Bon Iver and Megafaun... two bands who both put on phenomenal live performances, cool dudes, and incredibly fresh musically

  • or even better they are mountain hippies!!!!

  • @CPeyser08 ManTastic

  • Comment removed

  • @CPeyser08 definitely folk.. or folk/bluegrass if you wanna be really specific

  • @CPeyser08

    I think this is classified as "Americana". At least that is how they once classified themselves at one time.

  • @CPeyser08 Folk, bluegrass. Primarily folk though.

  • this so nice but i think the man is from city and coler or alexonfire or ?

  • the avetts are more like a life experience than just music...to put a title on something so great is like disgracing it....im about 25 minutes north of where they grew up....and no one from this area is seriously considered as Mountain Men...but there style is so much more than just an appalachian based sound...these guys are a movement that everyone should acknowledge....whether they like or dislike it...and as proud fans we shouldnt judge those who dislike it.....just accept their differences

  • Wouldn't kick mountain man Scott outta bed for eating crackers, that's for sure!

  • Just to think, the Avetts are from Conchord, which is only two hours away from my hometown. Today's best music is comin' down from the Appalachains...just like it did when Europeans brought secular music and settled the mountains hundreds of years ago.

  • 14 People were smacked by Nickleback albums when they were kids

  • amazing. the brothers never cease to bring joy to my ears

  • What album is this off of?!

  • @nobodylikeshair It's a Jessica Lea Mayfield cover from her album: With Blasphemy So Heartfelt

  • i like how the dude on the right dances from left to right

  • love this band. love an "unexposed" group, so to speak. their sound is good, harmony is fantastic, and their songs have depth. there's so much friggin garbage on the radio getting played to death. there's so much garbage in the music world these days, it's depressing sometimes...(well, not depressing but ya get me.) thanks to these bros for their songs, much respect!

  • Nothing more attractive than a man in denim sporting aviators, a beard, and a banjo

  • and mountain men live in spaceships!

  • Beautiful

  • Great song!!! 

  • so so good.

  • Very good tune. It's cool yet alternative enough to make it interesting without ever losing the sense of melody. I'd like to invite anyone into this kind of music to check my band's music on this channel. We're just looking to be heard by people that listen to music we consider great and maybe get some feedback. So if you have a little time check us out, we'd appreciate that. Thanks & Peace.

  • Aren't you NOT supposed to strum a banjo with a resonator?!

  • @Bradboy33 You can strum a banjo with an apple if you'd like.

  • @Bradboy33 I'm pretty sure you can play however you want...

  • bit . ly/jerku

  • I actually find this better then the original. Just sayin.

  • @EzekialCleghorn they are much better live, well they show their greatness alot more live.

  • Jessica Lea Mayfield is actually touring with them right now as an opening act. They were both great!

  • @DCM101 curious...do you know if she will be touring with them by the time they get to atlanta in september? would love to see JLM.

  • i didnt know jesus was in a band

  • If Jesus were a hairy white man from North Carolina or thereabouts I'm sure he would be one of them lol or in The Fleet Foxes :P @SYTofficial

  • @ElBonPistachio i couldnt agree more haha

  • @SYTofficial I didn't know Jesus had a two brothers that look just like him

  • @SYTofficial He is. His name is Seth Avett.

  • these guys play in interesting settings.... cool shit

  • Avett Brothers kick ass

  • did Jesus get cloned in two and sent down to heal the ears of this earth?

  • @LEVIKCC In aviators, no less!

  • @LEVIKCC yes.

  • @LEVIKCC AMEN!

  • @LEVIKCC They could be the closest thing to jesus i've seen on this Earth! Their Voices are so soothing

  • I cannot decide if I like the Jessica Lea Mayfield version or this one better. It depends on my mood, they both bring something so different to the music.

    Great song.

  • Fantastic. Great! Stupendo! By the way of sound, let me show you my regional and folklore music from Brazil, special accordions, etc.: 4 crazy videos:

    - Carlito, Baduy e Taquinho - Rio Araguaia

    - CARLITO BADUI E TAQUIN FÃ GERALDO

    - Voninho e Marcelo

    - Tio Mederico- Dvd Os Serranos 40 anos- Sempre Gaúchos

  • This is the best thing I have heard in a long time

    I cant describe how this song just hit me in the right place

    Thank God for the Avett Brothers

    They're keeping music alive

  • This is the best thing I have heard in a long time

    I cant describe how this song just hit me in the right place

    Thank God for the Avett Brothers

  • they could play in the sea or outerspace and still sound amazing.

  • @dreamingfevers strummed
