Tears for Fears "Creep" cover 96

[zokkotrokko]

genial!!!!!!!!



[Arcilios]

Omg this is amazing <3

[g9yx1s]

good cover version, but it's sad to see him in1996. He was carrying the whole TFF alone, and you can always see the stress and fatigue. I'm glad he got back with Curt because Curt has a stabilizing influence

[maxgunn555]

@g9yx1s the stress and fatigue might just be him getting the tone of the song.

[MatthewBanchero]

Closest cover I've seen to hitting the high note.

[RevRandalFinnegan]

@MatthewBanchero Jonathan Davis did an amazing job for Korn's Unplugged

[vadesdecero]

is there anybody else here who saw this video stoned??

[trodat4253]

@vadesdecero you are so cool, 'cos you take drugs... and you are even cooler for publishing it on YT

[vadesdecero]

@trodat4253 I am indeed! tell me doctor... how fucked up am I? :)

[goalykid69]

@vadesdecero riiighghght here ha!

[sistermadlyus]

Love radio head love TFF awesome!

[juorzabal]

APESAR DE TER O CORPO PERFEITO GRAÇAS A DEUS ELE NÃO DISSE ESSA FRASE EM MOMENTO ALGUM, ELE SIMPLESMENTE DISSE ( EU NÃO TENHO CAMISINHA) AFIRMO ISSO PORQUE EU ESTAVA PRESENTE NESSE SHOW MARAVILHOSO. E QUE CORPO PERFEITO ELE É UMA PERFEIÇÃO HUMANA.

[JustCatplease]

I've heard this live but this video... was this guy up on the nosebleed section. Roland, yes, you have the perfect body... :)

[rise1931]

Ha! Turns out I was projecting... He's more likely the walking embodiment of forgiveness. Presumtuous... Silly American.

[kingmanmillenia]

Do I hear some Pink Floyd in there? Either way this is a beautiful cover.

[SuperWhale101]

@kingmanmillenia Maybe - how much acid did you take?... I did a couple of tabs and thought I heard the Muppets Xmas Carol...

[squeakyben]

Oh Caroline, I envy you from the depth of my heart, to have him love you, and to have been able to kiss those beautiful lips every night!!! WOW!

[chickadee2]

@squeakyben DITTO !!!!!

[vadesdecero]

@squeakyben Who is Caroline?

[pdw2309]

love tears but my god this version is boring!!!

[popesweetjesus253]

why would a band like Tears for Fears cover the shittiest song in the world by the shittiest band in the world. Serioulsy Radiohead are so God awful and Creep is by far their worst song.

[otiropas1]

Rolands voice+this song=perfection. 

[aaronp01]

lol what a ham roland is

[TheOneThatFlewOver]

@aaronp01

But such a tasty ham!

[pablobrc]

Wonderfull

[depplamb]

love it!!!!

[Sidney31371]

essa banda é um sucesso  ! , mas esse cara cantando essa musica , se transforma em espinho no saco prefiro o original , agora, repete essa palavra , o original não se desorigenalisa .

[d34dl34f]

so eerie. i wonder what he's thinking..

[steelundergrounder]

is roland baritone?

[MHayes85]

@steelundergrounder No he must be mezzo soprano lol

[sqwalker13]

if tears for fears covers one of your songs that is a compliment

[Digifan14]

The original is THE BEST EVER.

no cover is better

[ct440ex]

Hendrix's version of All along the watchtower and Jeff Buckley's cover Hallelujah come to mind as remakes that were better than the originals. And that's not saying the originals were bad...

In this case Radiohead is safe.

[pinheadsen]

I would say the best cover EVER is Johnny Cash's doing NIN's Hurt.

[peha2]

hahahahahhaha

[mykalroze]

People are such sheep, so predictable. Why are they clapping in unison? Were they not aware that it didn't fit the music?

[darkallie11]

I can agree with his honesty :) In all honesty, I wish I was the microphone in this clip. ;)

[rise1931]

Invisibly tethered to awareness, acceptance, and humor (in place of forgiveness).

I like the brain behind those eyes.

[thedaisy1963]

the brain above all else is what makes this man so irresistable ...

[darkallie11]

It's interesting because in Radiohead's original lyrics, it's "I want a perfect body", and maybe they didn't like him being cocky and saying he has a perfect body...

[dirtysouthlepluv]

Ah I see. Well Roland was just being honest ;) I like those lyrics a lot better anyways.

[CelesteK]

Yeah. :)

[CelesteK]

That's all he can be is honest. ;)

[rise1931]

Soul-crushing

[onenad]

that is the biggest load of shite i have ever heard ,what you lot got between your ears

[kittiebaby4]

one of the greatest voices of our time. Will he(or TFF) ever be recognized for this? Probably in UK. They deserve it. There is much,much more to it besides the hits they had here in US.

[orzifan]

Yes this one is much more better than the original, Roland is the best singer all over the world .

[kittiebaby4]

amen

[Butterflyneverlands]

How did I miss this one??? I must've been out of my mind for not seeing this vid. Of course, it is Nouset's treat to us.

[7d7e7f7]

One of the best 80's bands covering one of the best 90's songs, gotta love it.

[4ynep]

this one is not about liking radiohead, nor tears for fears...

damn it, it's not even about liking music in general...

it's about THIS song... and damn it's pure genius!

i sure would agree with him, that this is the one thing i wish I had wrote...

[shawnkim90]

suck

[letmadora28]

2:48 does he say I got the perfect body ?

Well, who could disagree on that!

:D

[dirtysouthlepluv]

I think he DID say "I got the perfect body". I never noticed that. And I completely agree with those lyrics lol. BTW Roland's voice is completely hypnotizing.

[CelesteK]

I remember Roland saying in an interview that he "didn't even know what he did to piss Radiohead off?"?

I think I know what got them pissed off.

[dirtysouthlepluv]

What pissed them off? Did they not like the way he interpreted their song? Because I think he did a perfect cover...dare I say he probably did better than Radiohead with this song!

[ajittffcure]

There is no doubt about that.

[steelundergrounder]

yeah and radiohead shouldn't be bitching because they took the chords from the hollies anyway and thats the real reason why they stopped playing it but it is an amazing song and radiohead are great but they shouldn't be bitchin about it

[HeyJaw]

That is definitely not the reason they stopped playing it you twat, they stopped playing it because that's all their non-fans wanted to listen to and ask for. Hell, My Iron Lung is about that.

[steelundergrounder]

yes it is come on i don't really believe what they write about in iron lung or what thom yorke said about it because why did he not have a problem playing it until they had to give the hollies royalties but they made good art out of it like iron lung. art doesn't have to be real. don't get me wrong i'm a huge radiohead fan but thom yorke is a bit of a liar.

[HeyJaw]

Doesn't make sense what you say...First of all if they had to pay royalties you only pay once and you don't have to pay for performing it at concerts just record sales. And they did eventually play it at the last leg of the US tour - I think or somewhere else's last leg of '08 - just for the hell of it.

[HeyJaw]

By the way I've been a fan since Pablo and haven't ever heard this and I've read everything I can get about Radiohead. I also went back and looked last night and today and still found nothing about it. Do you have a link?

[steelundergrounder]

i tried to post links but it wouldnt let me post the comment with the links,

look just type in 'radiohead hollies royaties' or something like that.

i admit that i am not a hardcore fan but i don't know a song i don't like by them. look i don't really mind if you disagree but i think thom is a bit of a liar but evryone has there own opinion.there really is no point in arguing, if you agree then reply but if you dont then don't bother i don't mind either way because i just love music

[paulyh007]

@dirtysouthlepluv he said i want a perfect body not ive got

[jackbennermd]

@paulyh007 you're a fuckin' retard.

[Jenne61265]

I agree! This is all about our self doubt and the power we all have within ourselves to hurt another. Roland is simply amazing

[kkdm]

best creep cover, amen.

[Lostinmytears23]

they're amazing

his voice gives me the tingles

[LeosHouse]

I MUST agree with all comments! What ever Roland touches (sings) turns to gold. Not only is he beautiful..so is everything he sings. I have a bootleg copy of that song. I didn't even know it was on RATKOS. Is there another version of it? I have RATKOS and it's not on it.

[sourgirl1964]

I remember reading an interview where he called this a songwriter's song. He also said that this is the one song he wishes he wrote. He doesn't even like Radiohead, just this song.

[kittiebaby4]

I can't stop watching this and commenting on it. Roland just seems to enjoy singing this so much. Seems he gets kind of emotional,especially around 5:15 or maybe he just gets sweat in his eyes. Also when the close ups are so good you can see the sweat dripping out of his hair,its very very good.

[keerem128113]

Oh wow! I didn't know about the 3 track CD for RATKOS, so I have to hunt one down. I adore Roland and do think his version is better than the original. He will always be beyond hot... beyond compare to me... perhaps better in 2008 than ever. :)

[kittiebaby4]

please see creep cover 2 before it is taken off. much better quality than this one. wow!!!!!!!!!!!

[kittiebaby4]

sorry sorry this is the better video! with the close ups. forgive me. i got confused.

[kittiebaby4]

Thank you so much for this! I ordered the 3 track cd for RATKOS just to get this song. I think it is an excellent cover. I really like it better than the Radiohead original. Anything Roland does is good with me. What a talented man! Very,very hot too!! (Even in 2008.)

[sourgirl1964]

Hey kittybaby4, you said you ordered the 3 track cd for RATKOS. Where did you order it from? I would love to have it!

[squeakyben]

Hello, I found one on ebay u.k.,, I had to look hard,, so be warned!!

[sourgirl1964]

Thanks for getting back to me. I'll start looking right now!!!

[kittiebaby4]

Hey, hope you got it. Nobody can top this.
