  • Nice job! But turn up the drums! It needs more boom boom boom!

  • Was the guitarist playing a blue schecter guitar? Pretty nice guitar.

  • It's awesome. But you still need a bass player for that extra boast, its lacking a backbone as of now. But amazing job other wise.

  • god, this is so good. GREAT job. subscribed for sure!

  • .

    love them

    

  • amazing

  • A 2 ass, bullshit, pretentious, angst ridden douchebag. I'm glad you guys keep your negative opinions to yourself!

  • Silentassassin2000 seems like a pretentious hipster douchebag that doesn't respect the joy and emotions people as shown do while playing EITS

    I'm sorry for adding on to the negativity on a video that should bring someone happiness

    Befo I'm with you

    Btw great cover

  • Good

  • it sounds like the original with no emotion

  • @MrMut3r totally agree but quite talented though

  • @silentassassin2000 fitting that your username has "ass" in it twice...

  • @bmarsh915 Good comeback. Really made me laugh. But I stand by my comment. I'm a fan of Explosions in the Sky, not X-Factor. The 'talent' is writing a song as beautiful as this, not mindlessly rehearsing it until you can play it note perfect. Save that sh*t for the circus. The best covers sound NOTHING like the original. What's the point otherwise?? I feel sad that I even have to explain this.....C'mon!

  • @silentassassin2000 you need a life, sir

  • @befon i'm blessed and fortunate to have a very happy one thanks! It just excludes the need for over-faithful cover versions. It's just my opinion. Get over it. Watch away, I'll go listen to the original. No harm done.

  • @silentassassin2000 im gonna go ahead and call bullshit ;] the fact that you have to come on youtube and insult something a few friends did in a talent show for fun, then ramble about the "law of cover songs" as if there is such a thing, means youre a douchebag that can't keep his negative comments to himself. its an indicator of a lot of angst in your life, because you have to vent it on the internet. if you were just having a bad day, you wouldnt keep on for weeks like you have. you do you tho

  • @befon Really? Thanks for the 2-bit psychoanalysis. First off, my comments aren't personal and i had no intention of offending your friends. The last time I checked forums were for expressing an opinion not fawning over the content. My comments are only perceived as negative because you disagree with them. Other comments here agree with my assessment. I only keep coming back because the karaoke kids keep pulling me back.....can we move on? I have some happy stuff to post elsewhere :)

  • @silentassassin2000 i dont know these ppl bro.. i stumbled on this video just like everyone else. if some kids pulled this out at my highschool talent show, it would have impressed a lot of people. as popular as EITS is, most average people have never heard of them. these kids are just spreading the word, not trying to reinvent the song or become famous. do you see all the covers running down this page?.. why dont you go do them the service of pointing out their flaws in your awesome unique way

  • Amazing cover!

  • I searched for "explosions in the sky cover" sarcastically, assuming that no one would try to recreate it. I was wrong. Dead wrong.

  • You guys got some sick tone :D

  • This is beautiful <3

    Thanks for sharing :)

  • 8 people don't know the song ¬¬

  • This Hempfield by any chance? I graduated in 2001...we had a variety show....stage looks about like this one...

  • You guys killed it! Great tone, great performance, and great musicianship! Amazing job great cover guys!

  • i thought this was uninspired and void of emotion. i'm not sure what you're all talking about. that being said, it's a high school band from two years ago so it seems like a moot point.

  • I salute you. Best cover that I've ever seen of any Explosions song. Props.

    Ryan.

  • the guy with the strat's good man :)

  • if i didnt see the title i wouldnt have been able to tell this wasnt explosions playing. honestly

  • Is it just me or are they not even playing? Simply playing a recording of the song.

  • o cielos ahaha! :O me agrada! berry Good!!

  • the man playing the white guitar is amazing

  • @ObombOA

    why?

  • @justyoraveragejo what do u mean why? watch the video look at each of them playing, he/s really talented. The guy playing the red guitar is not quite as good

  • i really love this ! <3

  • really nice. to bad they didnt mic the drum set tho. that would have added much more depth to it and really toped it off. really good cover

  • Too bad u guys didn't have any light distort pedals. Still very good cover though.

  • that could have gone so horribly wrong but holy crap you pulled it out of the bag.

    bet the crowd was waiting for another crappy high school rock cover but then BOOM!

    you went melancholy on their asses

  • this is really really great.

  • it was good except for the kid with the red guitar. He was whack. One of the better cover though.

  • great job...wish the drummer would have went a little crazier though and started beating the shit out of the drums after the build up...but really great for a high school show

  • Wow that was absolutely incredible! I don't remember anyone having that much talent when I went to high school, and I don't remember us having a God damned hydraulic lifting stage floor either.

  • wooow, this sounds amazing!!!!! fucking love that band!

  • Comment removed

  • good!! :D

    but the drummer is very boring... i play this song with most feeling

    (my english is bad ejejje sorry xd)

    greetings from chilee!!!

  • If I went to this, I'd probably start crying.

    It's good that there's good, unique souls in this world.

  • pretty unique choice for a high school show. i would have been floored.

  • Awsome! - I came!

  • Awesome.

  • if i went to ur school, youd all die of an overdose... of to many HIGH FIVES!!!

  • Holy shit. You guys did a perfect job. Sounds just like it. <3

  • that performance deserve complete song!!

    good job!!

    drummer hit that shit!

  • that hollow body is beautiful

    my buds and i are doing this in a few months for a school thing

  • This song hits the soul!! Simply Amazing!!

  • nice ;)

  • If this was in any way a competition, you guys should've definitely taken the cake on this one.

    Great cover!

  • good cover. :)

  • great cover.

    and i agree about the drummer needing to get into it more.

    but still sick cover dudes.

  • great cover =) !! .. but I thing there was missing more feeling .. sorry

  • Guitars were great, drummer needs to get more into it. In the original the drummer beats the hell out of the drums.

  • @ozzy182 the only thing i have to say is that the drums (if getting the hell beat out of them) would have probably overpowered the other instruments...just saying

  • Really nice ^^

  • great job guys

  • what effects are you guys using?

  • It's pretty decent....

    You should try playing louder from 1:15 till 1:53

  • This is definately one of the best covers of this song I've ever heard, seriously. Great job!

  • Amazing cover, one of the best I've seen yet. I hope you guys put up more videos of original work and other covers!

  • this is the best coverrr

  • good work, sounds awsome. how did you guys end up going in the talent show?

  • man that guys got sweaty guitar hands like me. no fun. but stll solid guys. good stuff.

  • Fantastic song, great cover

  • have you a band?

  • five stars.

    saw eits tonight, n this is as good.

  • Guys, this is outstanding. sounded unbelievably good, and that stage is perfect, you guys coming out of the depths of the earth with the beautiful melody, fantastic. I've got to learn to play this song... great Explosions song.

  • yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • that's a badass stage haha

  • great job bro

  • well done... sounds nice...

  • you can tell the cameraman has never heard the song lol he dosent know whos gona play something next. great job btw! drums definitely need to be louder though!!

  • that was lovely

  • what makes people think its such a rich school

    ?

  • the fact that the stage rises out of the cataclysmic abyss. oh and the entire stage/background is gigantic

  • ahaha

  • Good job guys!

  • to perform that at school, u gotta be brave ! good .

  • nice strat

  • <3 the half time breakdown beat from 5:57 to 6:02

  • I'd kill to have a band like this

  • YOU GUYS ARE GODS

  • omg if someone played this at school i'd die, its sooo fucking beautiful

  • Seriously, I was affraid it was going to suck, but fuck, you did excelent ! Come on drummerrrr !!!

  • NAH WAY!!! SICKNASTY!!

  • very nice

  • this is prettty good for an explosions cover.

    Drummer is pretty cute by the way

  • you look pro and your drummer looks a bit impatient in the beginning i get that way when i play to there songs good job

  • love this song soo much. i love y'alls cover

  • I think this is really great!!!

    Thanks you for this

  • Not actually rich, rofl.

    My school auditorium is just like that.

  • rich kids or rich sch or wateva tis is a wonderful cover!

  • Très joli :)

  • oui :)

  • Great cover. Drums should've been louder though.

    And what kind of school do you go to. Seriously. Must be rich or something.

  • hell yah. ive wanted to cover this for a while. the drummer could of had more energy and should of come in with a bang but whatever. good jib

  • granted he was playing quietly, but the mic setup was horrible. The sound came from floor mics that picked up the amps better than the drums. Notice you can actually hear the drums at the end as the stage descends.

  • ahh.

    you are correct

  • i bet the drummer was all like

    "Fuck this, i don't want to be here."

    haha. but he needs so much more energy. because without precussion, there's no life in music.

  • lol exactly what i was thinking. i think the percussion is essential for the parts where the song gets 'exciting'. without the drummers excitement/energy, the song is calm throughout the entire song.

    to be honest i was kinda disappointed with him :|

  • That's such a great cover, :]

  • rich ass school

  • lol, seriously eh?

  • So fucking good.

  • drummer needs more energy because i cant hear a damn thing from him :(

    everyone else is great though

  • A++++

    you did an excellent job.

  • Me encantais. Gracias por hacer esta musica

  • wow..dude that was amazing!

  • make that shit louder bruh.

  • THAT WAS SO GOOD

  • fuckin awesome. great job

  • amazing cover guys,very moving... i wish i had a band like yours.

    Good luck with the band, i really enjoyed the cover

  • amazing, really.. wish you guys the best of luck!

  • This is such a beautiful song. Well done

  • you guys rock! as close to actual Explosions as I've heard. keep up the great work.

  • haha the drummer looks like one of the jonas brothers!

  • your also exceedingly homo

  • ha, my school just eliminated my friends and i from the battle of the bands bcuz we played an original (i hate to use the term but...) postrock song. they said it lacked commercial appeal.

  • Fucking hell! That angers me so much.

    It just goes to show what music is to 9/10 people nowadays.

    This is a beautiful song and a great cover, well done!

  • are you serious??

    wow...and agreed with slizz, take bands like the maine, and boys like girls, now i love those two bands, but honestly they sound the same.

    sucks dude..

  • whatever.. if people had ears and not ADD with music they would see how beautiful this song is. one of my favorite songs ever. anyway, good job to the kids in the vid.

  • dude, that is amazing how the stage rises. 5 stars just for that.

  • Nice, that's what I like to hear...

    love in the air and no hate.

    well done guys! I think you should create your own music now.

  • WOW.............

    no words to describe this

    except Beautiful you guys look like youre playing letterman on that stage ;)

    your talent show has a nice stage

  • anyone else besides me think that the riff was beautifully done here?:)

    great job guys, added to favs, 6/5

  • this is fucking mega! cracking cover.

  • the guy on the right looks like ben gibbard or a fat rivers cuomo.

  • great cover guys!

    guy in middle looks micheal cera.

  • heiii

    post me the tabs of the 3 guitars please!!!!

    xD

  • ehm.. this isnt shoegazing

  • great job guys!

  • I'm not sure how I came across this video, but this is a beautiful song. After I heard a piano cover, I was expecting it to have some lyrics...I'm glad it didn't. :)

  • frickin amazing! you better of won!

  • beautiful cover

    but you guys could use some more energy in some high parts in the song

    and the drummer needs to hit harder or raise the volume, cause the drums in EITS are loud.

  • Trop belle chanson, j'adore

  • awesome job

  • Awesome !

  • Great cover!

  • The drummer needs to either hit much harder or the mic-ing is shit for the kit

  • If you guys could re record louder, that'd be perfect

  • pshhhhh pretty good? i think they did an excellent job

  • great!

    i wanted play this song in a school festival like you.

  • (l......l)

    (..l..l..)

    (..l..l..)

    SWEET

  • ha mace it's kyle on my dads account

  • nice :)

  • the guy with the red guitar is pretty cute

  • Excellent job you guys!!! Keep it up, do you guys have material of your own?

  • great cover, but not the power Explosions have.. why are the drums so quiet?... they are a loud band live.

  • i think it's just the mics when this was recorded. they were pretty loud when we played it. also it was a school fund raiser with parents and teachers so we couldn't be that loud.

  • i see a lot of shoegazing

  • Shoe-gazing is acceptable for a piece like this. I think they did a pretty good job. Good goin', guys. keep with it!

  • one of the most amazing bands iv ever heard and you did an amazing job on the cover!!

  • amazing song

    great cover!

  • realllyy nice.e

    A nice tone note for note

  • That was pretty good :D

  • was this some kind of like Disney gig like you give them a million dollars and they put you on a stage that raises up cuz if it is thats fucking sweet lol cool cover very nice

  • this cover is simply amazing!

  • pretty sick dudes

  • hello bro
