Dr. Noise - Mad World 2.0 (Acoustic cover)

[DashCat9]

I saw the new video for The Doctor & The Master, and couldn't for the life of me remember where I had seen you before. Oh, yeah. This awesomeness. Thanks for being one of the more entertaining musicians on the youtubes.

[unseresache]

GREAT

[jujubeeluvswrestling]

this is my favorite song.

great job :)

[rbeccastevenson1]

I remember my dad playing me the origninal on his record player i love it but this is a really good cover , i love your voice !!!

[dtrip09]

What are the chords??

[sinus2alfa]

wow a fight club poster :D:

[SuperPandas]

Gary Jules almost had it perfect, but this... this is perfection. 

[sxephlI]

dont ever change, ur da bomb man. really awesome. how old are you?

[LetET2010]

watch?v=lVdJSf1A5bI

[VC11122]

wow, you're an amazing singer and an amazing guitar player!

[kyletunison]

Having just done a cover of this myself, I decided I owed to the other musicians out there to listen to some of their covers of this song. Yours is the only one I've felt the urge to comment on. Great job! Somewhere between the original and the Gary Jules version, I would say. One thing that surprises me (not good or bad, just a surprise) is that you didn't have the bridge from the original, or some variation on it. Oddly, nobody seems to have that... anyway, as I said, great job! :)

[Floydthefuckbag]

You look like Geddy Lee

[buccaneerpenguin]

He does! Just because of this I think he should do a Rush cover.

[xxxladyxhavokxxx13]

damn. this is so good. you're an amazing male singer. i never hear people do a cover of this song without reaching the max of their vocal range. nice job honey:)

[Nettacki]

This was so good! Damn good rendition of a damn good song.

Pretty much how I envisioned an acoustic guitar version would sound like.

[cayrano]

one word dude .... Awesome!

[starrynight1774]

This is one of my favorite songs since i heard it in Donnie Darko and you played it really well.

[BineyPogo]

hey, you look like Ozzy :D

love your voice, love your music, keep this way. :)

[erdr1p]

Its great but your hair :O:O

Your older hair was cooler, ;)

Oh and by the way you should do a Nirvana or Pearl Jam cover...Just for the old Grunge days :)

[EmiliaDain]

WOW YES.

Dr. Noise playing Nirvana... that would be seriously rad.

[misterdjim]

great version. you is cool is good.

THIS WAS AMAZING!

[PaulSaysThings]

I finally listened to the original version of this and a different cover of it. The original has a depeche mode feel to it and it sounds funny since I didnt hear that version first

[amiccare]

dman it.. what you've done to your hairs? i just loved your blondie side :D

by the way you got a very good voice.. keep singing!

[JackWales12345]

You're a good singer

[NerdsAreHumansToo]

wow.

THIS WAS AMAZING!

i've grown up listening to this song (my parents music...) and when i heard this it was like wow wee golly gosh bang crash kaboom wizard! and memories of this song came pouring into my brain. i loved this cover.

XD

[erfelgamazig]

I really, really love this song, and enjoyed how you interpreted it. This "folksy" sound gives me a warm and contented feeling, (really hard to explain that part). Thanks for sharing. You Rock!

[bandmum1]

Love this song & your version! I Blip'd the TFF version the other day on Twitter & I think it was BGS , blip'd the Jules cover, saying she preferred 'the original'. I was 'fused. Glad to see I was right!

I <6 you (so much more than <3!)

[doctornoise]

hey thre bandmum, saw you signed up for the webpage. :) Glad you enjoyed the cover. Thanks so much!

[llifs123]

goog stuff!

[doctornoise]

[sonicsuns]

[doctornoise]

[Becky2266]

I love your version of this song.. :D

[doctornoise]

Thanks Becky, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[bernieb223]

Saw the live show last night...awesome...had to hear some of the tunes again

[doctornoise]

[doctornoise]

thanks laguna!

[diesuici]

ok ok hahaha you win but really your good

[diesuici]

you welcome hehe but i like why you dont go to america idol? seriously you are a great singer

[doctornoise]

I'm really glad you think I"m that good, but I don't think I could do a show like that. Don't think I"m good enough for that. Plus I kinda dislike the show, lol.

[doctornoise]

thanks so much!

[BOBhope4u]

dude its amazing im not gonna lie plus ive been trying to learn this song for a few weeeks now and uve given me the strumming pattern for it thank you

[doctornoise]

Thanks a lot and I'm glad I could help you out! If you have any questions on the chords don't hesitate to write me a youtube message. cheers!

[smickra]

Brilliant! As always :P

Way better than Gary Jules.

*searching for the original song*

Lots of love!

Sara

[doctornoise]

oooh, you think it's better?  Thanks a lot sara that means a whole lot!

[helenzebcharles]

Awesome cover. I love this song. One of the only piano pieces I can play without music :P

[doctornoise]

hehe that's awesome! I wish I could play it on piano!

[steelers36867]

Well done! =]

Didn't Adam do this song on American Idol?

[doctornoise]

might have, don't ever watch the show. Thanks so much though, appreciate it!

[darkemage]

Aw, that was beautiful :D

The Tears for Fears version is brilliant, but I like the slower Jules version as well. But you're is kinda the best-- 5 starfish! :D

[doctornoise]

that's a great big fat compliment mage, and I much appreciate it. Also thanks for the starfish! haha :)

[FaeryFaith]

yay! congrats on 1500 subs :)

[doctornoise]

thanks Heather :)

[nenalyzed]

oh man! it was soo hard not to sing along, because then I would totally screw up the song... so I watched once, and the second time I gave in to my urge to sing.

[doctornoise]

thanks Nena! Pffft, you should always feel free to sing along if you ask me!

[nenalyzed]

:D thanx :p I just wish I could sing :D

that would be so much more awesome :p

oh well, I probably have an other talent -or just something I'm good at-, I just need to find it.

[nenalyzed]

yay awesomeness!! :D

[JayAreEmm]

So awesome!

[doctornoise]

hey there. If I recall you're actual name is Jennifer yes? Thanks so much!

[JayAreEmm]

That it is. :)

And you're welcome. I very much enjoy your music.

[paisleypower30]

Great cover :)

[doctornoise]

Paisley! thanks so much :)

[johnduffboy]

Great :D

[doctornoise]

hey there John, thank you very much

[slaveheartband]

awsome cover bill

[doctornoise]

thanks so much mate!

[villeannxD]

VERY well done! Loved it!

[doctornoise]

Thank you villeann!

[gothictitch]

that has to be one of the best covers, no actualy the best....... loved it, why are you not playing at festivals all round the world? if u were at download i would go and watch. do u know what download is?? if not its a british festival loOol

20/10

[doctornoise]

I'd love to play festivals around the world...but I suppose to do that people would actually have to know who I am...and as it stands...nobody really does! hehe. Very happy you enjoyed it gothic!

[BarryAldridge]

Your cover is so awesome Bill. Brillant.

[doctornoise]

Thanks a lot Barry!

[CleverestWitch2188]

Ahhhh.... I love this song.

I'm always a huge fan of Acoustic covers. Something about a guy or girl with a guitar just doing their thing... is always really amazing to hear.

-Sara

[doctornoise]

I know what you mean about acoustic covers, I've always felt that way too. Thanks much Sara :)

[Lazydays00]

You did it again! loved it! Great cover!

[doctornoise]

hey Lazydays! thanks I'm glad you liked it

[SarcasticMirkwoodElf]

I never really liked this song much but now i have listened to it more i love it!! :D

[doctornoise]

isn't it funny how some songs are like that? There's plenty of songs I didn't really like til listening to them over and over, then suddenly they're a favourite!

[Starlysh]

I LOVE this song! Great cover. :)

[doctornoise]

hey Starlysh! Thanks a lot!

[scrip7ki77y]

Wah~!! One of my favorite songs!

I love this cover! Your voice kinda.. I wanna say it trembles? It adds so much emphasis to the lyrics!! ^^

[doctornoise]

I know what you're talking about. hehe. I'm glad you like it!

[TeddyBearWithSexHair]

WooooooooooooooooooooooogoBill­!

lol Great cover, you should do a 2.0 of 'I feel fantastic' but play it like you do on blogtv.

Just a suggestion.

Peace out, yo! *attempts gangsta exit and nearly trip over himself*

[doctornoise]

haha, Joetholomew! Glad you enjoyed the song and thanks for the suggestion!

[diesuici]

liked it

[doctornoise]

cheers, thank you

[KavithaisPadfoot]

Another great cover done by Dr. Noise!! Great job as usual, Bill =]

[doctornoise]

Hey Padfoot, thanks so much! Means a lot!

[KavithaisPadfoot]

Anytime, Bill, I love your videos ;D

[SciFiGirl1023]

I think it is really awesome to hear and see how much you have grown as a musician. because this rerecording sounds really amazing. i like your vocals with it.

<3sMK

[doctornoise]

Thanks MK, those are some very nice words, I apprecaite it!

[valerie2776]

Your cover of this never ceases to be awesome :D

[doctornoise]

hoorrraaaay! Thank you Val! :)

[MusicIsFreedom42]

Loved it!

I like the Gary Jules version better then the Tears for Fears version, unfortunately. I always feel guilty when I don't listen to the original. I think I like your cover the best, though haha :D I'm going to download it ^^

[wintersweet]

I have to agree.

Though I generally prefer originals to covers in almost every case, I'm not a huge fan of the Tears for Fears version, even though the song is theirs.

Still, your cover is awesome, and I shall download it!

[doctornoise]

thanks Winter!  Glad you liked it

[doctornoise]

Thanks so much I'm happy you're downloading it. There's nothing wrong with liking Gary's version over the TFF version. Nothing at all!

[ehmkay]

I <3 Tears for Fears!

Though Gary jules cover is pretty fantastic.

[doctornoise]

yes yes, both versions of the song are most def. awesome in their own special ways.

[chrissyjeano]

I love Tears for Fears. . . and practically every other 80s band. =]

Great Job!

[doctornoise]

80's fan alert! hehe me too... 80's rule!

[sammicula]

There's quite the difference between this and the first video you did...that was so long ago.

But this was super. <3

[doctornoise]

yaaa, this time you can hear me being the biggest difference ha

[HAJS5]

Dr.Noise you are a great singer, but this song isn't really meant for your kind of voice.

[doctornoise]

I appreciate your comments and opinions, thanks a lot! :)

[ItTakesII]

Sweet, that was sick! I love that song and your cover of it as I listen to your cover on my iPod more than that of Gary Jules.

-Julian

[doctornoise]

Julian, that's because you have good taste. haha. No but really thanks a lot!

[kaylaTRON]

:D I love your cover of this.

[doctornoise]

Thanks Kayla! :) Much appreciated

[phampants]

Good cover Bill!

[doctornoise]

Thanks John!

[dawlfacex]

I have that Fight Club poster, but mine's all ripped. :( <3 youuuu

[doctornoise]

but you still have it, making you awesome. :)

[bossler13]

I LOVE this song! thanks for doing it

[doctornoise]

Thanks Bossler and you're welcome :)

[amelioooo]

So great.

P.S. Your hair looks really good in this.

[doctornoise]

AMELIOOOOOO! Thanks so much on both accounts :)

[AshleyDough]

I accidentally rated four starfish instead of five.

I r sadfacepout.

But I love this song, especially your version. It makes me happy. <3

[doctornoise]

4 starfish, 5 starfish, as long as there's some starfish everyone's happy! I'm glad you liked the song Ash thanks!

[dripduke]

Bill I've heard you sing this song so many times that it's seared into my brain...I sing along too every time you play it.

Please excuse me I have to go download this...I have some singing to do.

Thanks Bill.

[doctornoise]

Hey Duke! Glad you enjoyed it and downloaded it. I very much appreciate it.

[laurelissocoollike]

this is a great song for you!

well done, deserved five starfish indeed <3

[doctornoise]

Hey Laruel! Thanks much, I appreciate it very much!`

[DirectorToby]

Great stuff!

[doctornoise]

Hey Toby how's it going? Thanks a lot mate!

[VanillaxSmoke]

5 Starfish indeed! Amazingly done! <3 Even my cat liked it :) She was sitting with me while i listened, and be proud, my cat is not easily pleased.

[doctornoise]

hoorrrray! I made your kitty happy! Thanks for the starfish also ;)

[xXDiscoLemonadeXx]

Freaking awesome! Totally putting this one in my Dr Noise collection on my ipod! :)

-Jenea

[doctornoise]

thanks, and I'm quite okay with any addition to the Dr. Noise Ipod collection. hehe :)

[SupremeAmanda]

Oh, and I love the emotion you put into this.

Gah....now I need to watch Donnie Darko and listen to my 80s music!

[SupremeAmanda]

Bill you've done it again.

Amazing!

[doctornoise]

Amanda the SUUPPRREEEEEME! THanks a lot I'm glad you enjoyed it

[kira902k]

awesome!

[doctornoise]

hey Kira! Thanks a lot :)

[CellPhoneMern]

I like both versions of the song, but I like Gary Jules' cover a lot more, I feel it has a lot more depth and feeling in it.

[doctornoise]

right awn right on. I'm also a big fan of both versions!

[musicislife00000]

This has always been one of my favorite songs, I'm so glad you covered it! :]

[doctornoise]

thanks! I've actually covered it twice now, I did it once a couple years ago, vid is still up... sound sucked though so I thought it was time to redo it for fun.

[TwiztedScorpio04]

Such a great song. Now I want to go watch Donnie Darko :0P

[doctornoise]

you know, so do I. Did you hear there's going to be a sequel written by an entirely different person?

[TwiztedScorpio04]

Yeah, I did. I'm actually a little freaked out about it. I love the original so much and I'm nervous that they're just going to destroy it. I'm gonna guess that you've probably seen the trailer for it?

On a more or less completely random sidenote: I just saw "Hunger" (dir. Steve McQueen, 2008) at our local film fest and I'm recommending it to EVERYONE (or at least everyone who isn't squeamish) because it was so well done that it blew my mind.

[thenextbigthing12]

i love love love this song! ^^

awesomely done!

[doctornoise]

me too! It's such a good song, and thank you! I appreciate that!

[WerewolfActivist]

Awesome.

[doctornoise]

Thanks Werewolf!

[cindrachilly]

I lovelovelove this song!

[doctornoise]

me too! hehe.

[caseadillas]

Ahh Bill! You stole my idea, I was just about to try to learn this on guitar. Lol. :)

[doctornoise]

aww, no reason to stop! Learn it and perform it, then let me know where I can watch it. I originally recorded a vid for this in Dec. of 06...still have it on my channel... I said a long time ago to those who liked it I'd redo it cuz the sound sucked...just finally got around to it.

[caseadillas]

Guess what, i did learn it, about 30 seconds after I finished watching this. I'll edit it once I'm done with all my tests this week and put it up as a video response. :)

[xperpetualmotion]

That was awesome Bill. You always play great music I've never heard before :)

[doctornoise]

thanks so much and I'm also very happy that I can give to you music you've yet to discover!

[thhelix]

Nice. 5 starfish!

also: 28-08-42-12

[doctornoise]

woo hoo Donnie Darko references! Yay thanks for all the kickass starfish!

[PaulSaysThings]

I just now decided that you're going to by my "channel of the month" for april. Every month I tell my subscribers a channel they should check out. You definitely got it.

[doctornoise]

thanks Paul, that's very nice of you and I sure do appreciate it mate!

[suchducks]

This video is such a success I feel like I wanna put a chain comment on it.

[doctornoise]

hahaha, Nice Blaze nice. That's been reserved for my TROCK video. You wanna give people bad luck? DO IT OVER THERE!!! ;P

[hackman460]

Voice works perfect for this song. Love it ^^

[doctornoise]

thanks a lot Hackman, much appreciation.

[lovexxxlost]

Kind of ironic how you put this out and it becomes my fave song of the moment again. Awesome job!

[doctornoise]

hehe, glad I could help you find a new favourite song this week :) Thanks so much!!

[iaMyla]

aaaw, your voice is so perfect for this song... Beautiful Bill, just beautiful... :)

[doctornoise]

Thanks Myla! Glad you liked it.

[Kimmiko]

Nice cover. I love this song.

[doctornoise]

Thanks Kimmiko...it really is a great song. It really sets a good mood in the right atmosphere. Esp. Gary Jules cover of it.

[fallofautumndistro]

Always enjoy this song, nice job, Dr.

[doctornoise]

thanks Alan. Much appreciated

[regamom3]

Lovely!!! I love this song, and your cover was amazing!!! Have a great week.

[doctornoise]

I"m glad ya liked it Rega! Thanks so much and you have a great week too :)

[Flangel66]

Just downloaded the first version you did of this from your site today (I have Bill on my iTunes now - Yay!). Totally signed up, as well!

Great cover, again. You're consistently amazing! I agree, I prefer covering the TFF version more than I do the Gary Jules version. The original's more upbeat. :]

(Oh, and all five starfish were brilliant, and send their regards..)

[doctornoise]

Thanks a lot Flangel and welcome to my website!  I'm happy to have a spot in your ITunes! Makes me feel special :)

[cushlinkes]

Tears for Fears are awesome. I always did like the original Tears for Fears version over Gary Jules'... anyway, good cover.

[doctornoise]

yeaaa, 80's music... certainly had it's own sound back then. Thanks a lot!

[livin4hymn]

Nice cover! I know both versions, but I think I like the Tears for Fears version a little more. And now your cover of it.

[doctornoise]

thanks a lot. Yeah, both are great version of the song. Naturally one should have the most respect for the original, but it goes without saying that Gary's version is brilliant too.

[IdiotFest101]

Awesome. =D

[doctornoise]

thanks Mr. Fest :)

[PaperbackWriter9]

I am so downlaoding this, Bill you're made of awesome. And you mentioned me like 4 times on your live show last week it made me happy!

MissKarma<3

[doctornoise]

well you betta download it! hehe. I'm very happy you liked it Miss K. :)

[CaptainWilhelm]

awesome man

[doctornoise]

Cheers Wilhelm, thanks a lot.

[JohnnyXCore]

Awesome as always.
