It's actually pretty easy. I got it down to perfection in less than an hour. He's playing the same chords as the original, just changing the arrangement.
I LOVE The Killers and this is one of my favorite songs by them. I dont know a lot of songs by TBS but my brother does and i have to say that this was brilliant =) His voice is amazing and the guitar is beautiful! Very nice !
the original version is honestly one of the best songs to come out in the past 5 years b/c the Killers are just that good...but this is fantastic I love both bands and I think this version does the original justice
Are you fuking kidding me??? The original is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. And I don't use the term beautiful lightly. This is a good cover but it doesn't have half of the characteristics of the original that make it such an amazing song.
and I think it is kind of funny that just because Adam did a cover of this song, it makes people have to say which band does it better or which band is better and that they have to compare them. Come on now, people do covers all the time, it's not like Adam was trying to 'out do' The Killers or anything.
absolutely LOVE this cover. thank you SOOOO much for filming the whole thing and posting it up. Ive made a rip of this to MP3 for anyone who wants it on their ipod / pc. You can download it from this link..
the difference between the killers and tbs is the song writing. they both do it well, but the killers just have got that 'it' about them. btw best cover ever i say!
i love this cover adam has a way of doing something and just making you love it no matter what... i think they both do this song really well and theres things about both that make them great
Listen to the killers doing this at abbey road and you'll see whose better, this is good, but the killers blow the shit outta this band any day of the week.
and you can't quite compare the two due to the fact they are too different bands completely. and the killers certainly haven't gone down hill. the killers have had far more hits and success that Taking Back Sunday.
i know indie is a type rock but i like more tbs kinda rock.
i dont think it really matters how many hits bands have just what i think about them. and in my view i still love some killers songs and i also think i will always like them coz there a band i grew up to but i just don't like there new stuff
I'm a huge fan of both The Killers and TBS and I have to admit, Adam's cover is, to quote The Killers song "Bling" "It's not so bad, it's not so bad". He covered it nicely, and he likes TK so I think that's awesome he covered WYWY. ;)
All that is known or matters: Adam likes this song, so he covered it. He did as good a job as possible, and made it partially his own by making it entirely in his own way.
If you like how Adam sings and sounds--or don't--that's fine, and awesome.
I don't know what time you're from but The Killers...cmon gimme a break. And comparing them to The Beatles...good god man. This doesn't mean TBS is any good and this cover is pretty weak but seriously...The Killers are not that fuckin great.
idk why all of you are taking one side over the other... tbs and the killers = two talented bands... and this version is very different from the original... they're both music, and they're both very good
Dude, thanks for posting this. This is really really good. TBS surprised me greatly. Not as good as the original but for an acoustic cover, pretty damn good. I agree with irishndfan81 though, his voice does crack eventually lol.
I was there live when they played this at Rock City, it got all the crowd fired up singing along , was a good atmosphere. Main reason for playing this was that the lead guitarists Dad had died and he went home. All these guys from other bands chippped in and sung back up and played guitar , good Camaraderie !
I know this may only fuel the fire , but come on guys its a song if you don't like it why bother coming here and posting a comment about 'how adama is so emo and gay'
At the end of the day , the 2 songs cna live together in peace. As it was quite rightly said the songs are very different. If anything Brandon would be chuffed tos ee another band do a cover of his song, mutual respect between band
omg they have murdered this song - ive seen the Killers twice and they are tooo good - I agree with the 5 days ago guy - piss off TBS - leave good songs alone. Please.
the truth is, both dudes are talented in their own rights... theyre two different styles of music people, thats like comparing whitney houstin to steven tyler. personally, i love both bands, and im a fan of the original song... but i still like adam's take on it.. no need to start crying over who you think is better...at the end of the day, they both make a shit load more money then the rest of us
