The Ataris- Boys of Summer (Live)

[SeanAndThePerverts]

Right I do NOT mean to sound like a trolling cunt when asking this, but is this actually the same 'Ataris' that were signed to FatWreck and recorded 'the radio still sucks'? If so, I'm surprised that they turned out like this after recording an anti commercial song like that

[tejaspics]

Cute!

[KRAMER102591]

best cover ever made, challenge me on it

[JMantz1]

@KRAMER102591 I choose Jimi Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan wrote, composed and performed it first)

But this is not bad. I expected worst and was pleasantly surprised.

[mixboy79]

What year was this? This is an awesome cover

[91Rdh]

This is the best cover song ever recorded. period.

[sealedforproctection]

THumbs up for the real MUSIC!

[Desd3n0va]

there's a lot of screaming girls... this is borderline bieber.

[91Rdh]

@Desd3n0va wow. this is the dumbest thing ive ever heard. The Ataris are nowhere close to Bieber.

[zobodobokobo]

@Desd3n0va LOL i love punk like it's my mother but that was the funniest thing ive ever read on youtube!

[huikki987]

stupid faggot audience

[WhoisTerrorEyes]

0:36....anyone else see ash ketchum moshing around?

[URAMoronlol]

ok for all u morons..music changes. If u want to be technical. there will NEVER be punk again as it was years ago. Please understand music before making yourself look stupid. Working musicians understand this. Fans like some of u simply don't. This has nothing to do with whether they are good or not.

[iovercameit]

fuck me Cl!

[BlackSabbathFan98]

Fuck this gay fucking shit. What the fuck is it with all you kids out there calling this shit punk?!! What the fuck has punk become. Punk was about attitude, aggression, a lifestyle. Not this swoopy haired bullshit. What the fuck.

[URAMoronlol]

@BlackSabbathFan98 - Why would anyone even pay any attention to what you have to say - Moron.

[badcompany009]

This makes no sense. These guys are too young to cover this song.

[URAMoronlol]

@badcompany009 another moron here folks. There is apparently an age limit on doing music lol

[VaLdErRaMa002]

yeah!! ALF!!

[BlackDiamond0562]

lol people starting the wall of death in the middle of the crowd haha

[dauce8]

this song is a disgrace to Don Henley.

[NIRVANAmat]

@dauce8

the song or the cover?

both rule!

[crazylewyboy]

@dauce8 probs cause you suck dick

[NycBlackout]

Why can't I find a clean version of this song anywhere on youtube? Its retards covering it. I want the actual song.

[blood2bleed84]

why argue over whats punk or not punk? its just a damn good cover of a damn good song

[lordandgrayson]

@Gw21850 thanks alot. I don't say who you like suck. Classy

[yugosks59]

Whoever said this is punk does not know what they are talking about.

[lordandgrayson]

Why 71 dislikes?? I mean Jimmy Kimmell is an ass, but it's not the bands fault. This song made me appreciate today's post-modern rock. I now like bands like 12 stones, anberlin, skillet, decyfer down, pillar, pod and the like

[Gw21850]

@lordandgrayson except pod, they all suck

[alternativegrunge91]

GRUNGE....... was the golden age of music.....point blank

[DiamondDJandSound]

Stop trying to classify music. You know how you sought this track out - not caring what label to put on it, but just because you like it? Yep.

[Technology2412]

This...just....sucks

[DarkPrincess942]

ummmm.....golden age of punk used to be known as...well, let's just say....Social Distortion??? ummmm...... Joy Division????

[BartleBy182]

@DarkPrincess942 I think The Clash and Motor City 5, or even posers/sell-outs like Sex Pistols would be more representative of a Golden Age of Punk... but like I said, who cares? Let's just get wasted and choke with our own puke!

[dinahn33]

Chris roe fucked my boy friend

[BartleBy182]

This guy in the comments means golden age of "pop-punk", noone gives a shit about real punk anyway :P

[DarkPrincess942]

@BartleBy182 screw....you >:|

[bigeyejim]

I think their hair is too "pretty" and planned to be "punk." It's new punk so to speak. Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Bad Brains, Sex Pistols et al, that's punk.

That was directed at the comments, but I DO LOVE THIS VERSION MUCH BETTER THAN DON HENLEY'S VERSION!!! Good Job.

[rocketboy375]

golden age of pop punk

[danny27kurt]

jimmy was a chub!

[hannahlove8808]

Really? A mosh pit? Really? That's freakin hilarious! But they're AWESOME. No moshing though.

[ComradeStanimir]

'golden age of punk?' Boy, I feel old and Im only 23. This is more like the last hurrah of punk...calling this the golden age is making Joe Strummer turn in his grave.

[nickthestick26]

Ladies and gentlemen, Trey Parker on lead vocals. :P

[M00TWUT]

Is their voice always un-sync with all Ataris videos

[ohalistair]

@M00TWUT Maybe his voice has natural delay.

[MrDolphinsDude]

Society is due for a rush of original rock music..... Historic trends say so....

[milhouse41175]

Jawoll das Rockt!!

[forcerofdragons]

The golden age of punk is what you make of it, for someone who got into 00's punk and pop-punk bands, that was a pretty exciting era. One could Argue that it was the early 80's with the rise of hardcore either. And I'm sure there will be another resurgence some day.

[TheP3AR50N]

Original is better! He's just shouting it.

[kowtpr187]

Codeseven did the best. though back in 1996...nothing beats big Dave and Jeff together!!

[OurCorsair]

Opening for these guys September 19th. i cant wait.

[versagurlz88]

WoW! Hell Yeah! Love The Ataris!!! Been listening to a lot of The Ataris, Hey You!, My Chemical Romance, Blink-182, All Time Low, and No Doubt....

Hey You! is still pretty new but they're waaaaaay dope. Pop/Rock/Punk with a real cool edge. Plus they've got a hot chick singer too :-) ...check em out...

search "hey you band taking over"

[smosh108]

This is on abc?

[ViRTUAljORGe1]

the golden age of punk.. how i miss it..

[MegaJorsh]

@ViRTUAljORGe1 I know exactly what you mean

[wobblefluff]

@ViRTUAljORGe1 um... golden age of punk was the 1970's. Presumably you're referring to that.

[farnirwolf]

@wobblefluff He means the time where punkrock was the most famous as musicstyle. And this so was around 2000.

Blink 182, Offspring etc.

[wobblefluff]

@farnirwolf Please do a little homework. Punk rock's golden years were the late 1970s with the Sex Pistols. That was punk.

[wobblefluff]

@farnirwolf I like Offspring, but just look up 'punk rock' on wikipedia and you'll see that it started waaaaay before them, like the late 1970s in the UK. That was the golden age of punk IMO.

[farnirwolf]

@wobblefluff Pleas read it once again. I do not say that Punk rock star with those. But i got in to the mass and popular for the not Punk-rockers around 2000. For sure Sex Pistols etc. was the beginning and huge but it was pretty underground. The time where it was in the clubs and everywhere was around 2000.

[Elfop1ccolo]

@wobblefluff

he prolly means punkrock, and those were the 90's, started like late 80's into the early 00's

[stokley51]

@ViRTUAljORGe1 why did "we" ever stop listening to it?

[xStaycleanx]

@ViRTUAljORGe1 The golden age of punk was after the new millennium? Are you retarded?

[DarkCreation08]

@ViRTUAljORGe1 The golden age of punk? Are you kidding? It's not even close to the golden age.

[strongsock]

@DarkCreation08 hipster alert.

[DarkCreation08]

@strongsock Hipster? Hardly. I listen to everything, from Metal to "Indie" to various Punk bands. The golden age of punk was by far the late 70's or early 80's. Ask almost anyone.

[dontrunfast]

@DarkCreation08 yeah the golden age consists of a unique set of bands for every person. i grew up on meatmen, dk, minor threat, jfk, gbh, and suicidal tendencies, but this shit is still tight. dont discredit something that deserves it.

[ethelwaldo]

@DarkCreation08 Not even close to punk I may add

[Mariooo57]

@DarkCreation08 golden age of pop punk woud be more accurate

[jokerxcore]

@DarkCreation08 this was the golden age of mainstream pop punk

[Zcarpfaize]

@ViRTUAljORGe1 *pop/skate-punk

[1buckcherry]

@ViRTUAljORGe1 golden age= old Green Day, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan etc...

[robertomorales10994]

@ViRTUAljORGe1 Golden age of POP PUNK

[xStaycleanx]

@robertomorales10994 No, that was the 90s.

[robertomorales10994]

@xStaycleanx You're right..

[itsmetanner47]

@ViRTUAljORGe1 Are you kidding me? This is not punk. you want punk? listen to the Sex Pistols. Im not saying this is a bad song but this is farrrr from punk.

[TWIL16HT]

@itsmetanner47

Wow, Sex Pistols... -.-'

that's the kind of thing a dummie says... everybody knows sex pistols. even miley cyrus fans...

[leafinfirerob]

@itsmetanner47 punk is doing whatever the fuck you want. anyone who says "thats not punk" really has no idea what punk rock is. these guys are no less punk than the sex pistols are classic rock.

[MrUsedBooks]

@itsmetanner47 You sure showed everybody you're a true punk fan by name dropping some super underground punk band..... The Sex Pistols. No one's heard of them before.

[immesothere111111111]

@itsmetanner47 This is punk it's just pop punk. You're one of those people that expects punk to always have that classic punk sound.

[URAMoronlol]

@immesothere111111111 This is exactly correct. Like Rock, Country and other genres, you have different categories. The music mentality of people is sad.

[CoreyL11]

@itsmetanner47 I agree I hate how people think that stuff like this is punk, like I love this song and this band, but it's not punk. Punk is stuff like The Dead Kennedy's and Black Flag. This is good, but not punk.

[blahblahmonkey]

@ViRTUAljORGe1 its not even punk let alone the golden age

[War624]

Haha I love how people call The Ataris emo. People these days need to do research on words so they can probably use them. Idiots.

[konfusion2113]

@nlglennnl takes one to know one sweet heart

[EmperorTopher]

@horrificpunkfreak I'm sorry I was previously unaware there was a subject list that punks were allowed to talk about. Isn't placing restrictions on a class of people a bit establishmentarianist? That's not very "punk" either now is it? How about we stick with the old way of "to hell with your rules and laws I'm gonna be me". Deal?

[Dream9531]

Leonardo Dicaprio?

[SilentStorm56]

dude this sounds almost exactly like the recorded version. these guys are awesome live.

[horrificpunkfreak]

The Ataris Are So Gay Even From The Start They Were ulittle Gay

Talking About Love Isnt Punk... Deluded Cocksuckers

[bcw0813]

I like this but moshing to this is fucking gay.

Maybe Chimaira will cover it and the crowd can do the Wall of Death

[bcw0813]

I like this but moshing to this is fucking gay.

[VenomStryker]

Mosh pits are the stupidest thing ever! Who the fuck wants to jump around like an idiot and shove each other all over the place. Idiots.

[theexritard]

I like this cover:) and most covers I absolutely hate! Henleys version is good.this version of the song is good for the newer generation :)

[Luis0Nani]

3:07 :)) :D

[Vilverin1]

yup, these guys are fags. glad to hear another gay band fucked a great song. GG homos.

[MartinGro131]

well, a rock version of this would be cool if the singer could sing :D

Oh, I already see many thumbs down for this comment, hehe

PS: The original by Don Henley will always be the best version!

[daystilljersey]

@MartinGro131 Kris Roe is an incredible vocalist, get the album version on.

[wilhelmina2323]

this version kicks ass. henley was good in its day. this is amazing.

[mosalacrima90]

Alf is the law

[T3hSin3r]

Don Henley's version sounded like music from a porn. Go listen to rick astley if you dont like this.

[kimv020887]

@biolectron I think they did a GOOD cover, biolectron. STOP COMPLAINING.

[lolcats713]

The lead singer is Hott(;

[soukupb]

I love The Ataris!!! I cant wait for them to start there next tour.

[psnapplebee]

GAY

[tristanmurray16]

Rockin' lefty.

[andresihotang]

What an incredible performance! Full of power and spirit

[nilelol]

why did they remove the music video from youtube? im talking about the actual music video for this song

[tyrodfrantic]

I was actually alive when the original came out........even owned the cassette Building the perfect beast, rocked out on sunset grill, all she wants to do is dance, and of course boys of summer. I have to admit this is one of the best remakes ever! Keep on doing it Ataris!

[georgelio3]

ooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooooooo­o

[wiseone9690]

God Damn lefties!

[JNblok61newprofil2]

Fucking emo posers, KILL EM ALL!!!

[quickquickdanger]

lol young jimmy kimmel

[Cheamilion]

To all his own, but in my opinion, great cover. But Alf being in it made it worth it no matter how bad.

[mrsam12341000]

they never should of covered this song... it doesn't need to be covered by some emo band, keep it classical bro!

[Destroyed666Doom]

What the fuck, every video with lyrics its fucking blocked, i want lyrics not freakiing live!

[taterboy311]

why the hell is there no decent vid for this song posted!!!!! everyone ive seen, the audio is fucked!

[flou303]

I don´t think it´s fucking shit...it´s a good really cover of a great song

[Gitrdunn1990]

I've seen them live in Corbin they rocked

[frymaxa]

one of my summer hit...love it

[lawpunker]

The true star is Alf.

[arerepp25]

The Ataris ! 

[Luuuukas]

This is fucking shit, ruined a classic. shit idiots

[mannie71170]

they ruined Don Henley's Masterpice.......tsk.tsk.tsk. Back off Guys....Compare this performance to Eagles' farewell concert...... way off....

[kikomiko1]

I'm not really a fan of this type of rock, but the Ataris did a good job covering this song. They maintained the original feeling but added their own twist to it. That's all you need to do with a cover.

[toniisisethen]

wow the lead singer isn't cute anymore.. im shocked

[kimv020887]

@rocketboy375 yup rocketboy375 they play TRUE pop punk rock music, even though I don't listen to today;s music, dude. REPLY BACK, rocketboy375.

[th3rocker]

can someone please upload the original video!

[th3rocker]

can someone please  upload the original video!

[pastForgetting]

The Ataris did a fabulous job on this cover. They changed the context from a doomed May-December romance to a painful first-jilting by a too-cool girl. I LOVE Don Henley's original version, but the Ataris managed to make this song their own. (I'm 56 years old BTW)

[TheStickynoodle]

this is just horrible all around. i hate this video.

[Fixxer315]

I have no problem with this cover, as it rocks all kinds of ass.

[countthelies]

They're moshing because they're having fun! Whats wrong with that? haha

[edcasabonne]

Way to take a great song and take a nice big smelly shit on it.. Long live Don Henley and long live the Eagles!!!

[JzXify]

@edcasabonne Go and be Don Gay's bitch and stop talking shit, The Ataris for fucking rocks.

[th3rocker]

can someone please  upload the original video!

[GSarovich]

lol there's people moshing

[JackTheRottweiler]

Yaay for mashpits!

[dukeman134]

garbage

[Jitpring]

Wow. This is just dreadful.

[pinkliz06]

No way in hell would I listen to this version over the original!

[GrungeBouke]

They took the  song and raped it in the ass.

[babolatmatt]

@GrungeBouke fuck off this is better than most covers, let me guess you bum don henley? the ataris fucking rock

[theyoozernaim]

@babolatmatt Don Henley is not a bum. He is responsible for this song even being made. He also had to grant permission to The Atari's so I kinda doubt he would be criticizing it.

[babolatmatt]

@theyoozernaim i wasnt calling don henley a bum read it again mate i totally agree with you

[mrenergydrink96]

I thought I knew what love was

what did I know

those days are gone forever

I should just let them go but

...I can see you

your brown skin's shining in the sun

you got the top pulled down radio on baby

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

after the boys of summer have gone

--> love it

[EndersShadow90]

why are people moshing?? this song is a ballad. kids these days. dont know wtf theyre doing. great song though.

[cubbyblues]

@EndersShadow90 Because it is a punk version of a ballad. That's why.

[EndersShadow90]

@cubbyblues then that makes it a punk ballad doesnt it?? you dont just mindlessly mosh to any song a band plays. you need to know when to mosh. and when to just hold your beer to the sky and take it all in.

[cubbyblues]

@EndersShadow90 Thanks for the rules of when to mosh. LOL. How ridiculous.

[EndersShadow90]

@cubbyblues oh those werent rules to moshing. theyre rules for how not to look like youre a bunch of ignorant children running around

[acep0kerface]

@EndersShadow90  I thought the same thing when I saw them "moshing".. Cubbyblues is ridiculous.. Guttermouth, DI, The Vandals = punk.. Ataris are not punk.. Good music though..

[IICURTI5]

HAHAHA this is not a song to mosh to -.- quiet sad actually.

[drewsexxx]

Definitely would c them live!!!!!

[bobscanfly]

i have both versions on my mp3 player!!

[surrealballer3]

LAWLLAWL mosh fail.

[HorizonLightss]

are they really moshing to this song?

[biolectron]

These punks just butchered a classic. So sad

[MrFej80]

soundwaves australia 2011!!! love you guys from the start!! cant wait!!

[firefightinpunk91]

i saw these guys in some tiny ass club with 20 people in it in some rural ass suburb of detroit back in february its funny how they went from this to now playing in crappy storefront venues there going backwards!!!!!!

[vickigirl54]

Sounds like they were just rambling with the instruments and trying to sing...i prefer DJ Sammy's version...

[NLglennNL]

sooo gay that they are gonna mosh on the boys of summer lol!!! every jerk off has to rape a classic hit.

[JzXify]

@NLglennNL It's a good cover, stop whinning like a little bitch and go listen to the original one if you don't like it, jesus christ -.-

[CorkKNIFE]

@NLglennNL " they are gonna mosh on the boys of summer lol!!! " Best comment so far!

[wrestlerguy22]

@NLglennNL this version was amazing brotha i dont know what u talking about. its like the nonpoint cover of in the air tonight that kicked ass

[daystilljersey]

@NLglennNL Fuck off you ignorant homophobe.

[drsmurfphd]

@NLglennNL I know you know the Don Henley version and its good, but this is a good remake of this song. Lots of other band really destory other songs. So its a little faster thats all they did to it.

[nickthestick26]

Trey Parker on lead vocals :P

[firehead74]

good cover. thats awsome that the guitarists left handed -:D

[PrincessJacobobJakRZ]

@firehead74 I'm right-handed and i'm teaching myself to play left-handed bass just because of left-handed players like him(:

[Elfop1ccolo]

@PrincessJacobobJakRZ

you are a dumbass, just play on your good side
