Cake - "Guitar Man"

[hairytauren96]

Like if you're listening in 2012!

[UrielYube]

the kid in yellow is Max from Where The Wild Things Are!

[yamijanakaratoprak]

It reminded me of pearl jam's "black' especially after the 3min. mark,

[zevex747]

This song is beautiful :)

[piey133]

i hope those kids know they are gonna have to pay for those guitars...

[jordobaggins]

What a great song and video

[ledisko00]

Spelling fail, *surprise.

[ledisko00]

Aww! I adore Max Records and LOVE Cake, so this is a cool suprise.

[NickNorie15]

@ledisko00

Yeah, cake is pretty tasty, aye? Great song, too.

[punkrocker064]

i love this video

[skrinkle2000]

This reminds me of when Sesame Street and The Electric Company first started and they'd get all those really well done videos by respected music/visual artists and passionate up-and-comers on low budgets.

imagino que la cancion habla sobre algun guitarrista muy bueno que te hace sentir como lo dice la cancion puede hacerte amar o puede quebrarte... ok partiendo desde la idea original de la cancion este cover es malo le quita todo el feeling original ademas de que no contiene el elemento principal que es el guitar man...no se si me explico...cualquier duda me dicen...y luego todavia debo someter mi comentario a alguna aprobacion...

[JAckStyleNigga]

@jangelcastro109764 amigo xP si no te gusta porque coño la buscas... te pareces ami maestra de lectura y redaccion... mete las narizes donde nadie le llama y ademas comenta por el gusto de joder xP.. si no te gusta la cancion simplemente largate y busca otra y no dejes comentarios yo amo este cover esta mucho mejor que el original, talves le quite todo el "feeling", pero la verdad es que se escucha mejor que el original.... y la verdad este tiene mas "feeling" que el otro.... en el sentido..

[TedMoret]

The boy in red was in "the zone" . He does not have a short short attention span, like the other guitar students. He was the only one in tune with, and into learning to play. So, HE is the guitar man.

[countmockula]

How much will he pay for a brand new guitar, one which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?

[6628william]

@countmockula one of my favorite cake songs. nicely done

[JockDeFirm]

@countmockula ....as long as their soda-cans are red white and blue ones.

[vonkreger]

let them eat cake

[heirunapparent]

Awesome until 3:00. Wasted time after such.

[BenHunter84]

@heirunapparent That's the BEST part of the song. Why it's stuck in my head all these years and made me search for it and have to have it saved.

[nickwallen21]

haha the kid in yellow is the kid from "where the wild things are"

[DeepestCoconuts]

the kid in yellow is in

Where The Wild Things Are.

[radicemarcelo]

This song is timeless

[WastelandSalem]

this song (either version) makes me think of my drive to do the crazy shit I do. Shows, playing, writing, I could go on forever. I am just doing what I must do I guess

[29hawks]

thats why my kids will never touch my guitar

[Lucastoffel]

Legalzim

[tjrieves]

Hm, I seem to like this version a little better, I think due to how it has a little more, I don't know, "energy"?

[thepunchdance]

@AlbinoFox Same song with a little icing on top ; )

[MetalShreader]

I wish I learned at that early of an age :)

[marumasa87]

2:07 YAH!!!!

[Smithson141]

haha i know the kid in the yellow shirt-max recordsss

[cooly158]

holy crap i couldnt tell if that was a man or a woman. first time in my life.

[jednutty]

those are worth at least 200 bucks a piece don't smash em, noooooo

[jednutty]

dam those are worth at least 200 bucks a piece don't smash em, noooooo

[Joker5844]

hahaha i learnt this song by watching how the kids play it

[mizikal]

If I am from India is it the sitar man?

[susuca1star]

Adorooooooooooooooooooooooooo!



[paigeyee]

bread by cake

[shawn1818668]

2:14, YEAH! OI!

[Chapman235]

Fucking right ~

[MaddLagger]

people think they are that smart.....ouvh

[TheBlueGirl100]

Watching those guitars get smashed was painful. :(

[manfredicomposer]

Good job people

[frasse102]

crap version



[abelseeman]

Cake covering Bread? This sort of thing takes the Biscuit.

[veravidavegetariana]

Parabénsss  ... pelo vídeo é muito lindo !

[veravidavegetariana]

O homem da guitarra não pode parar, não pode parar, ele tem que tocar, ele tem que tocar ... que bela letra !

[TheRicky000]

RICK♥JEH!!!!

[beatlegirl61]

CAKE IS THE BEST!! fan forever!!! Great cover - cool video!!!

[manatronic]

sweet - the kid in the yellow was in Where The Wild Things Are.

[tinister]

Cake does a good job of stylizing the song for themselves, but it loses all the mythology of the "guitar man" in their interpretation.

[38kmc]

CAKE seems to do some very nice covers of some great old songs. I love them all.

[bigdav47]

Not bad....but the original is superior in every way IMO!

[mwowm123]

Mytoob69 said: "Elvis did a version of this song.."

That was a different song, actually - same name, but a completely different song.

As for me, I didn't really get this video. I just didn't see what the underlying point was supposed to be. I mean I do drugs and all, but the imagery of the video just wasn't connecting with the lyrics. As a visual representation of the song, it seemed kind of meaningless.

But maybe it's just me.

[shooterandwinniesmom]

I agree, this song has a lot of meaning and they didn't capture it, for me at least. For some reason after listening to this song and watching the video I am thinking of Scotland, PA. Seen it? Watch it. You'll love it. This song is very sexy with him singing it, I think, just me?

[shooterandwinniesmom]

Sorry, I thought I was commenting... =)

[troatie]

awesome

[skippyfish71]

love this version.

[cddrummergo]

Think its good here, go see them in concert.......awesome!

[mcCrackenowns]

max records  oui oui cute

[kaisamsa]

is this the official music video?

[baronBirchtree]

i believe it is..

ive seen this before on TY i think

[Siggikari]

I always hate people destroying an instrument :(....

[fatetwister]

@Siggikari This isn't the 14th century. Those guitars are punched out of cheap wood by the thousands. Get over yourself.

[Penguin619]

@Siggikari then you must hate The Who.

[GamelessOne]

@Siggikari Whats wrong about it? Creation comes through destruction you know.

[punkrocker064]

@Siggikari you and me both

[desertshiela1]

Max Records is adorable!

[hardgreenhorn]

i was sad seeing kids destroyed guitars in this VDO, though i cant help stop laughing the little kids try playing big guitars!! :)

A Very Good Song!!

[chelstea1]

i D  TYRHYUTDFGJODIRGHNAEHIOUYMHKBD­FOFJINMRIOUFJKRIDRNT

[AlbinoFox]

I LOVE this song

[CerebralStud]

Why does the kid have a cut on his forehead?

[JesuszillaCorp]

its a kid, they get scraped up all the time just being kids. (i realize your comment is over a month old, sorry).

[erikchagas]

A CAKE é muito responsável ao fazer uma cover.

Ótima música e clipe!

CAKE RULES!

[thyron10]

Lindoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!A­meiiiiii.....

[AlbinoFox]

I love how a band called Cake covered a song by Bread :p

Great song, both renditions

[neilo11]

pretty sure it an elvis song, isnt it?

[Mytoob69]

Elvis did a version of this song as well as Jerry Reed, but I think it's a Bread tune, a decent tribute, good to know some modern artist can still appreciate classic's!

[ucfsig03]

no it's a david gates song

[rottenjellybean45]

@AlbinoFox ya well i hate it

[BoilingPoint212F]

That has to be Pete Townshend kid at 3:04.

[VegetableTheater]

I first noticed the distant "NOO!" at 1 am after reading a scary story website.

Yeah p_p

[LordOfTere]

lalalalaala que video mas copetin!

[Antitodo2889]

jaja

[RBFR18]

surreal.

[JennaP46]

i just love this :) not David gates of bread but it's still beautiful and upbeat

[acdeucee]

Why wont this video play???

[StupidRandomChick]

Nice twist on the orignal. But i have to say no1 can beat bread.

[enochpowell3]

XAN McCURDY ( Cake guitarist) is singing lead on this! I think this is like "connection" by th eRolling Stones- Keith Richards sang with Mick but nobody could grasp that the guitarist could sing!

THIS song RULES

[spacedinos101]

i love how they're all wearing chucks. except for the kid in red

[ALPHAQUPNOW]

that kid can shred for how old he is lol

[billiondollardan]

i saw cake in milwaukee on new years and it rocked! my favorite band ever

[revatman]

neat-0 to the nth degree.

[steverino333]

Cake just makes every cover "their own".  I love their sound.

[erikchagas]

genial...

[j4up]

Duddee whata great song, and this version by Cake is WICked good, Wicked video Too!

[20000914]

I like ice cream cake better.

[awsumEFF]

i prefer pie or ice cream pie :P

[Alivefornow]

uk cake is somuch (yes one word) better than pie.

[manjoe2995]

i r can haz pai?

[milkdud222]

at 0:40 THATS ME !!!!!!!!!! =D Sofia

my causin is at 0:49 wereing the blue shirt!!

[jeffvlarson]

I think its really great that everyone who's posted recently can all agree to disagree in such a positive manner. Its as if we're all in the mild-mannered classroom that is this video.

I am more fond of their recent stuff like this song (and album "Pressure Chief"), but I still like their older music too -- particularly the western influenced songs like "Sad Songs" (a Willie Nelson cover) and "Walk On By."

[shrekjet68]

pressure chief is in my opinion cakes best album. i'm a dime. has been so great for my self confidence i feel like a new man!

[TheBandit77TransAm]

Jerry Reed's song Guitar Man is cooler its a whole different song but its got the same name Bread stole the name of his song and used it to make this song which doesnt sound as good.

[Dodziiin]

always liked this song :)

[defect530]

I wish they would play NORCAL. more .....CAKE ROCKS!!

[Slidemaster83]

either you love cake or hate them...I love them

[pappppie]

I don't mind that alot of their songs are covers. They're original songs are awesome as well. People who don't like Cake just don't 'get it'. Nothing wrong with that, but don't bash those of us who do.

[garbitchov]

Well said! Im not a real fan of Cake, however I cant deny they're amazing musicians and it is a very fair version of that 70s hit.

[paatchupers]

NiCE !!

[54spiritedwill54]

i love this song.

[jamesxwolfe]

love it!

[ScurrrvyMatt]

A lot of cake's songs might be covers, but most of my favorites are the ones they wrote. I still pretty much like all their songs, though.

[garbitchov]

"I wll survive" is their masterpiece in my opinion. They turn that silly disco song into a powerful rock ballad.

[BlindDrummer7]

Go Reed!!!

[vonflowers]

Wow, that was a really crappy cover.

[porkwood]

give me Gates or put a sock in it......

[almightybeanchild]

those kids are so cute!

[milkdud222]

um, I'M in that?

[yrulooknatme]

I think that this band cake has got some depth. I really like em a lot. Thank you jakluk4 for turning me on to them!

[yrulooknatme]

I think that this band cake has got some depth. I really like em a lot.

[Alivefornow]

50% of cake songs are covers... sad but true.

[altstiff]

I love the bread version but this was a pretty good cover "with a twist"...

Shame to see the slaughter of so many innocent guitars :(

[rockysman6]

nice!!!!!!!!

[crankkinder]

was the crazy calk board lady the guitar theacher?? if she was, she should have stopped those kids from distroying those guitars. those things ar expensive! i sold mine to my friens for $60, but if we weren't bffs, i would have charged way more.

[souphead228]

the kid in the red shirt who doesnt destroy the guitar is my friend

i do gymnastics with him

and i gave him the scratch on his head XD

[evanwilcox82]

yeah sure...

[1tbounty]

Wow ! I like Cake , but I never knew they remade a version of this song that I liked by Bread. They put their own spin on it. Kick ass !

[mblacka]

this song is the shit

[KENOEFF]

This is Art !!!!!!!

*****

[ktgcs]

this song fucking rocks

[caioaugusto1985]

i remember the 1st time i watched this... i never had listened to Cake. I came back from a party, it was about 7-8 am. All I wanted was to take some sleep and I turned on the TV... this clip was passing on MTV and I watched it, sleepy as hell, until the end. Amazing.

[emmtampa]

How do you take sleep? I want to take some sleep.

[perchorin]

This video is awesome!

[clhatch13]

Bread's original version = awesome

Cakes' cover = awesome

This video = very awesome

is this an actual music video done by the band or did someone do this on their own for shi*s and giggles? in either case, this is a great video to compliment this song!

[JDV9507]

the words match their lips so id imagine so

[MusicBlur]

Ok, I admit, I didnt know it was a Bread cover song. But I did watch a few live performances of The Guitar Man by Bread and liked them very much. I would have to say that the cover is pretty true to the original.

[xbiuefirex]

I thought everybody liked cake O.o this shit rocks.

[LaneyMarie]

I love how this shows determination and passion for the guitar.. by only one kid. Like it is saying there aren't many out there who have what it takes to become great.

[NaupakaNeoWeo]

i love this song.

[phildeaton88]

Awesome, really enjoyed this vid :)

5 star

[TehWickturkey]

No one likes bass =( lol

[HoodLoot]

bass is da shit broski

[Goalieman707]

i love cake but i gotta say this song and video both annoy me greatly

[crayyawn]

wow really? i understand maybe the video but the song is great

[acupunk8]

why are childrens shown destorying perfectly good guitars.

Speaks to wastefullness...it's creepy.

[hello1231000]

Bahaha, those suckers are probably 30$ at Wal-Mart!

[MangaMonkey565]

my guitar was £15

[PieKlan]

Still perfectly good.

[TvOffer]

I am yet to find a single CAKE fan other than myself in my school. I've forced a few people to listen to them, and they usually just kind of stare off into space until I turn it off and lie through their teeth that they like it before turning back to Miley Cyrus.

[emmtampa]

Hey Ashley, do you think if I let Bread become stale enough it may become Cake?????

[emmtampa]

due to illness...the part of the chalk is now being played by quality chalk.

[walterroy]

The reason my comment was posted twice was cuz I was having difficulties and didn't think that it went thru so I composed a second message in the same vein and sent it to ensure delivery. I love Cake.

[emmtampa]

can't people take a type of bread and get cake?

[emmtampa]

I would like to ask Connie, Lisa and others to get to know the guitar man....

[walterroy]

All you Cake haters can kiss my glowing-white ass and then I'll kick your bloated rumps after school by the cafeteria's dumpter. Cuntbags!

[CodenameMolotov]

We got the idea the first time.

[walterroy]

All you Cake haters meet me after school behind the arts department and I'll kick you herpes-infected cunts all over the place. Try me, motherfucker!!!

[guitarplayer9608]

dam kids.....i had to teach myself how to play guitar

[woodycoat]

If you don't like Cake you suck....seriously if you don't appreciate great composure of unique instruments (even in a cover) you have horrible (probably top 40) taste.

As for the video I just wish that kid was wearing a trucker hat...that would have been epic!

[emmtampa]

woodycoat...yes, you dictate taste...you tell others what is good and bad...you are somebody and we are nobody....fuck, you might be god!!!

[dkshotwell]

this version is of the song is so damn lame.

[emmtampa]

I loved Bread back in the day and this is a fun version.

[viniciusnikefutebol]

Este clipe ficou mto show!!! Parabéns

[hello924]

this version sucked.. bread is better

[2tonsoup]

suck it

[2tonsoup]

suck it

[leopluridean]

Nah he's right. This version sucks.

[leopluridean]

Nah he's right. Cake's cover sucks.

[johnjohn808]

I think it`s cool. I like both versions.

[ilovemyseacow]

the only song i dnt like by cake ;_; really dissapointed me...its not like any of their other alternative rock songs.

[BootyLikeBeyonce]

what are you deaf or gay or something

[czochraniec]

Exactly what do you mean by gay and how does it affect one's musical hearing?

[2tonsoup]

agreed i think he sould have left it at deaf

[2tonsoup]

well this might cheer u up, they did not wright it =D but i do like it

[melvinmyster16]

hmm....cool.

[bigbignigs]

This is a really awesome song by Bread but the video doesn't really mesh with the song... kind of lame, but the cover isn't bad.

[xxHarukarixx]

wow Reed looks sooooooooo different now!

[AyshLoundou]

Is this the official video?

[revolution55125]

this is an amazing cover

[jimbo12393]

very
