[Anor213]

I think it's too clean, but it's not bad

[mellowtonen]

@Anor213 haha yeah well the acoustic cant capture the electric distortion unfortunately. thanks for the comment, be well.

[Orangelemonblue]

all around awesome

[Oriente7]

badass you should do beach side property and positive negative

[drep83]

i love this and cant stop listening, chords dont seem too bad.

[mellowtonen]

@drep83 Right on. Yeah the chords for the chorus were mostly power chords I believe and the rest were just half chord things. Thanks.

[pksagara]

Talent...Might I ask what chords you used?

[mellowtonen]

@pksagara I know the guitar is tuned down a whole step and the chords I really don't know names of. Thanks a bunch though for scoping this.

[ArturSchopenhauer]

Favorited this. Do you happen to have a tab or something?

BEST COVER EVER!

[mellowtonen]

@and1234z Best Comment Ever! Much thanks.

[mellowtonen]

@peterbth0m thanks for the feedback.

[11crader]

I really dig this cover. Most Modest Mouse covers are a complete joke and a disgrace to such a genius band. You even put your own spin on it and it works. Good job and try to make some more. -Peace-

[mellowtonen]

@11crader awesome, thanks. Truly genius that Isaac Brock is. I'm not digging his new style but still have respect for his artistic endeavors.

[skaguy88]

nice work, keep it up

[sokh2001]

awsom cover, really sounds sincere :) Was wundering where you found your tabs at?

[mellowtonen]

@sokh2001 thankyou for listening and watching. I played this tune by ear and the guitar is tuned down a whole step.

[xxbilla]

amazing cover of an amazing song. I am stunned this video does not have more views...near professional quality.

[mellowtonen]

@xxbilla Much thanks to you for watching. I for sure put a lot of time into the videos, thanks for the positive feedback.

[k11251]

you have a really nice voice, and great song choice by the way (=

[mellowtonen]

kind words, do you sing as well? that would be cool to hear you with the piano too on a pinback song!

[k11251]

i do sing actually but im horrible :P i did a cover of Penelope - Pinback and another singing/piano cover of a song by Radical Face.. theyre not too good but check em out if you want

[riovacation772]

actually i think you would do a song called Dramamine its of the self titled modest mouse album..its such a great song, and maybe try Doin the Cockroach..thats sick to i think its on Lonesome crowded west.

[mellowtonen]

yeah Dramamine is awesome, probably one of my favorites also, ha, the bad thing is my camera is broken, so I can do songs but no video to them, maybe I'll just put pictures up to the songs?

[riovacation772]

hmm you should do heat cooks brain

[mellowtonen]

thats a great one, my profile pic is in tribute to that song.

[riovacation772]

your the man grant! great job on modest mouse cover with one of my favorite all time songs! you should do more of those!

[mellowtonen]

I might have to do some more MM covers since there's so many good songs.....any requests? anything from Lonesome Crowded West is awesome.

[CaptainKickAss55]

I'm waiting to see a good Heart Cooks Brain cover. Might be trick, but you should be able to do a good job with it.

[mellowtonen]

yeah the tricky part would be the lyrics since the song is kind of a circular repetitive vibe, the lyrics repeat themselves a lot and slightly change at times, good song choice though, I'll look into it.

[mellowtonen]

Thanks for the words man, yeah the entire chorus is sung higher in the real song, but it was too straining so I just did the last line, hah.

[sbennett14]

Fantastic guitar work. I'd have to say that my favorite parts were the choruses where you escalated your voice like a madman, ha. And the solo was nice and mellow as well. Dope man. A nice fit choice for a cover that compliments your style.
