[Punxskaoc1]

@missionblank1 Your in good company, John Lennon was throw out of the troubadour too.

[MentallyGuitardeded]

@Punxskaoc1 john lennon was a piece of overrated shit.

[DevilCaloy]

awesome cover

[kzolotar]

Fat Mike style....

Beautiful.

[fajarrahman]

Yeah....Fuckin Awesome....

I like Mike Style.....

[gnrev]

fat mike is an attention whore...but you gotta love him he fucking shreds all day

[jrack13]

fat mike should sing some

[SUBLIMEDUDESTP]

@gnrev yea fat mikes a good bassist

[kylewagoner]

Holy fuck, it IS Brian Baker. Poor Joey hahahaha

[pepsroller]

HOLY SHIT... Brian Baker and Fat mike.. niiiiiiiiiice

[sailormeo]

THAT BAR MITSVAH WAS AWESOME...

[ppmoscadebar]

Brian Baker from Bad Religion on the guitar.

[wajjaca]

Leave Dimebag alone you bastards.

[likent2]

The original is actually about a lost budgie

[slashsound]

OMG that guitar amp is so flabby, tighten it it up ....

[mmonnerat]

well i think that might be the mike recording it... sometimes they just cant deal with the vibration produced by high volumes

[Shiga37]

Ha doesn't help that the person recording this was so close to the amps

[Kujajin]

The original was waaaay better.

[skatfree]

nothing covered by the gimmie gimmies is worse that the original.

[sitiomaldito]

i love the gimmies... but Zeppelin is Zeppelin... no one can do a better version than them...

Good version, anyway

Cheerz from Argentina!

[winnetouch]

@sitiomaldito No one said about doing this better just differently :)

[GetBorn800]

i know. they are SEXY (in a totally not gay way)

[gsboss]

fuck no, zeppelin is gay. a real man will listen to queen. that band had talent

[musicbeast16]

woah i wouldn't say way better

it was good try finding another cover that sounds this nice

[timwaals]

wach Young Spine on youtube!

[jencendiary]

Classic metal is obviously SRS BIZNESS.

Bless your little hearts. Sending up self-important music is Me First & The Gimme Gimmies bread and butter.

[SevenSkateboards]

i like ! .......... : ;

[Alexandros2011]

Vi Odio.

[jones1333]

if your gonna do a cover of one of the greatest bands in the world. at least do it with respect!

[Tchung96]

If they "respect" the original song, they don't respect themselves then! :p

[buchholtz07]

Both of those are comments are tasteless, you both clearly dont understand either band.

[Ronald2117]

your a tool. even the dude that wrote it wished he hadnt. the songs a joke.

[lostperroswe]

great fucking song!

[Phantomcrash1]

its rated a 4 1/2 stars because of the song and they like it. who cares about the quality. they rate it because of the song and the way they play it. so stop being a little douche. ya the quality is horrible but i mean what do you expect. this dudes at a live concert and this was recorded pretty close to the amps and speakers. i give it a 5/5. you should do the same if you like the song.

[Punxskaoc1]

thank you

[GSingley]

@Phantomcrash1 : Like hell you should. We're not rating the original track by another band recorded in better quality. The rating is specific to THIS track and video. Because he's so close to the speakers it's horrible quality. I appreciate someone got quality video, but if I can't enjoy listening to it, then it's a bad video. If you actually care about what a rating is for, and not just to say "I like this song, durr" then you'll be marking it around a 2 as well.

[mcschitty]

very honestly, why is this vid rated 4 1/2 stars? the quality alone, never mind the shitty 'interpretation' rates it a 1

[wonderboy1989]

They don't make covers. They make interpretations. There's a HUGE difference.

[paramesio]

me first tiene muy buenos covers obviamente niguno tan bueno como la cancion original pero sonr ealmente buenos pero este cover de stairway to heaven s un insultoa a led zeppelin

[unseenlock]

fuck you fat ass mike.

you make sound led zepp sound like shit in this.

nofx and gimmie gimmies suck ass.

[jonny89]

what? someone whos playing bass is ruining a song? haha prick

[clevermint37]

these guys are fucking bollocks man!

[loochidorthelooch]

these guys rule

[poppysyd000]

these guys rock it everytime

[YAYconnor]

just by reading nkb09's first sentence i can tell he/she is not very intelligent..."writed?"

[RockRampage74]

No, he is actually very inteeligent because it seems me and him are the only ones around here who realize they are ruining rock's best songs with their terrible singing and constant bad sound on guitar.

[flyfisher413]

it is not supposed to sound the same do you know what a cover song is?

[Press1ToParty]

I'm pretty sure you aren't intelligent if you can't even spell "intelligent" right. These guys are awesome, they make punk covers of famous songs. They're just there to have fun, and if you don't like them, then don't listen to them.

[RockRampage74]

Sorry, I messed up. And I might respect them if their covers sounded different. All of them have they terrible guitar and guy that can't sing. My friend suggested them so I thought I'd try them out. I don't like them...at all.

[nkb09]

if punk die when motleycrue did anarchy in the u.k...the rock was kill when this guys did this cover...

[alvarocastillopaz]

they maybe will never sing like led zeppelin but they can make better music than you.

[nkb09]

but with my band we make music writed for us...and we dont steal other people songs with an excuse off "oh we make it but hard-core so is a tribute"...sao fuck you...go and keep making covers you dick...

[SheikhAlf]

Making covers isn't stealing. As long as they say "cover" in the name it's all right.

But this Stairway to heaven cover sucks XS

Still though, they have other songs.

You have music "writed" for you? O_o; you don't make your own songs then?

[manta1978]

how you cab actually talk about this song if the record is so bad that you can't even hear any music...

[Schandpfahl]

They're covering some songs nice, though.

But they RAPED stairway to heaven.

[bare552]

These guys fix everything!

[spacegemini]

these guys are fucken nuts, they will cover anything

[seelola]

omg they doesnt even play it right.. shame

[Rockozbomb]

dude they just punk-afided it

[seelola]

the intro ! it isn't right. O_O

[Rockozbomb]

there probably wasted

[anarchist1willie]

the whole point to a cover song is that your suppose to do it in your own way, not make it sound like the original

[hyland94115]

My eyes! I can't see anything! Am I blind?

[FernandoPS]

BRIAN BAKER!!!

[bars90mon]

not to good of a cover. that hurt my ears.

[NicolasZappa74]

Is Brian Baker (Bad Religion) the guitar player on the right side of the screen???

[Punxskaoc1]

Yes, that is Brian Baker..

[NicolasZappa74]

Damn! I wish I had enough relations in music biz to have Brian Baker as substitute for my band ;)

[scgopgirl]

MFATGG perfected this song !! they are amazing :)

[majusko]

are u sure?

[scgopgirl]

.. i really have a major crush on Sean Slawson .. sooo..i think any thing he does is perfect :)

[GhostBoy66]

lol, his name is Spike, not Sean. You must have a huge crush on him if you can't even get his name right.

[scgopgirl]

hey silly ... you really think his mom and dad named him Spike ? That is his nick name .. and yes . i really do have a major crush on him !!

[dialogoconlamuerte]

Perfected??? jajajajajaja!!

You have got to be Freaking Kidding me!!!

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF ROCK AND ROLL...THE SONG IS PERFECT AS IT IS...

THIS PUNK VERSION IS GOOD...BUT NOT AS THE ORIGINAL ONE!!

LONG LIVE LED ZEPPELIN!!

[tomwest114]

lol its not as good as everyone says it is, over rated in my opinion.

[cynthiacouto]

fuck yeahhh!!!<3

[poscoepete]

the sound need help

[sinistergrin]

woah thats pretty rad that Brian Baker is playing with the gimmes here

[rodolfostanic]

hey, punk rock haters:

kiss my ass!

[asslesschap182]

led zeps not tht good so everyone chill

[danny1lllll1lllll]

then why listen to it

prik

[texascur]

thhis is the shit

[ZeppelinBowd]

this is fucking gay...and everyone knows that punk sucks and zeppelin beats you....this is a disgrace to jimmy page and robert plant...and if you like punk then your a greedy kid with parents that care about you but you dont care..

[turkeyninja]

This queer probably got raped by some dude in jail who kept calling him punk.

[assadddd1122]

dude its just a cover song jeez every1 knows Led Zepplin is one of the best bands ever, I say one of cuz there is prolly gonna b one person who says otherwise

[awh79]

shut up and chill. everyone knows led are the greatest band in the world, this is no piss take. your just some corny yank that probably thinks that led are american.

[jagathorn]

dude, i agree with you that zepplin is awesome, and noone can play it better than jimmy, but punks awesome. and punk covers are just fuckin fun.

[Cortana2112]

my parents love me very much

[siluros]

lol

[largejohn1000]

is that Brian Baker from Minor Threat/Bad Religion on guitar?

[Punxskaoc1]

Yes, Chris was busy with the Foos

[mazp186]

the original version of stairway to heaven is my favourite song but this version simply rocks!

[81eagle]

This is about the only way I can stomach classic rock.

[theonlytruepunk]

I fucking hate Led Zeppelin...thank god for punk rock. No wanky guitar solos, boring drum solos and whiny ass bitch vocalists. Thank you punk rock. Play it hard, play it fast and keep it real.

[ednut69]

i would love to hear a real recording of this, not some shitty camcorder recording, did they ever put this on an album?

[Punxskaoc1]

Thanks for the nice words... yes its on the live CD "Me First and The Gimme Gimmes Ruin Johnny's Bar Mitzvah"

[ednut69]

sorry, it was a bit harsh.

i found that album lst night, and the studio recording is awesome!

[dub1681]

there go my speakers

fuuuuucked

[jochenheimann]

so do mine ^^

[slugpirate]

i wish the sounds on this video was better quality. i looooove me first & the gimme gimmes. <3

[jonbuckmaster]

fuck them, they just killed this song...

[TrOoPeR2012]

it's not like there trying to slaughter it there just havin fun

[beneaththepavement]

respect

[krodosk8r]

the intro to the song is soo long haha

[suare272]

Fat Mike is the lead singer for NOFX

[dunwichhorror]

sounds like someone fucked zeppelin in the ass

[Somekid420]

Isnt fat mike the lead singer of the me first and the gimme gimme's now?

[Eruantalon]

nope, Spike Slawson is still the lead singer

[modelswanted007]

lol 3:17 min stairway?

[jernejslo123]

punk can do what the fuck it wants

[awinter03]

i still like it.

[sodhill]

its a live gig an the camera is below the bins wat sound r u expecting

[keukpa]

To be fair that is a poor video! Seriously bad sound!

[imdagiver]

oh and look at my videos

[ajunsum]

vão tomar no cu!

[adelews]

Holy crap...that's the worst frickin audience I've ever heard...the band rocks...the crowd can go die! I hope the Gimmes never play there again.

[ffuuzz]

its a punk show, if someone was not hurling abuse spit and shoes i would be more worried

[leooxd91]

its punk show! with punk people!

Punk attitude does this funniest

[Lag379]

Egwulf, you got it !

[egwulf]

whats this mob they play for??

this idiots should shut the fuck up!

[theskabat717]

this idiots?...

ahhh you fail good sir

[urggg123]

this audience needs to shut the hell up

[SkakinPickle]

this song is awesome on their album. You can't judge them on this video. Me First is the best cover band ever.

[alildrumhappy]

hah, i was just sayin they were the best cover band also... its just those damn audiance....

[MiniliQuid]

omfg sound quality is so bad xD

love what they did with the song though :P

[Berethoris]

i love me first but they absolutelly rape this song

[L33tfulxNinja]

Yes. I agree.

[zombiphile]

the original is so unapproachable, the only respectable thing to do when covering it is butcher it. for the record, i love this cover.

[ThoughtScientist]

punk being the antithesis of led zeppelin, thats what theyre supposed to do :O

[Berethoris]

indeed :)

[CarnivalofChaos]

He means people can edit Wikipedia to say whatever they want. Everyone thinks Wikipedia is this great source for information and while it is, you gotta be careful with the info...

[Punxskaoc1]

Oh, didn't see that someone had quoted Wikipedia,

thanks

[50yearsofunwantedsex]

"From wikipedia" people can write anything they want on wikipedia as truth... if you accept that as truth, as it could be you might also accept

if i said that like

eagles have been known to steal babys out of strollers...

[Punxskaoc1]

Huh?

[RyanNakur]

Stairway To Heaven is overrated anyways. Led Zeppelin made far better songs.

[MonkeyMike96]

agreed

[FionMacCumhail]

i think this is a great cover. we all know baseball fans are assholes anyways.

[noelle3787]

wow thats damn cool, fuck you haters

[elpyf0]

Why does he play the intro with distortion? :(

[Punxskaoc1]

Cause he's Joey fucking Cape...and he's really hung-over

[DRISSERY]

The Best Cover Band On The Planet By Far..

[MonkeyMike96]

like there are a lot of famous ones in the first place? wtf

[x0einstein0x]

These guys are probably the only ones who should be allowed to do a cover of that song. I like it.

[89212168]

WTF with the audience

[DaveTheFuckingBrave]

Thats what I'm thinking as well..they fucking go on my nerves

[Mechtroop]

yeah, Spike Slawson of the Swingin' Utters, Fat Mike Burkett of NOFX, Chris Shiflett of Foo Fighters (and formerly No Use for a Name), and Joey Cape and Dave Raun of Lagwagon, don't have any original songs. Right.

[spwb2k]

well said Mech.

[Ratworks]

Nice seeing them play THE classic.

[snoooc182]

VIEL besser als das Original!!

(beschißene Aufnahme qualität, auf CD ist's besser

[winnetouch]

dass ist jetzt aber ein bischen viel denkst du nicht. Das original ist meiner meinung nach seher ubervertet aber immer noch besser als das. Aber dass ist ja auch gut...

[punxnl]

fuck all of you motherfucckers me first and the gimme gimmes rule no matter what they cover

[Josh1758]

sure

[Ocelan]

If people want to rape songs... they should rape their own... :/

[Punxskaoc1]

Get a life!

[ducky13]

do you have 6 cd's out i said no

[Gophersmock]

Except they're a cover band and they don't have any original songs you dumbshit.

[Mechtroop]

yeah, Spike Slawson of the Swingin' Utters, Fat Mike Burkett of NOFX, Chris Shiflett of Foo Fighters (and formerly No Use for a Name), and Joey Cape and Dave Raun of Lagwagon...have no original songs. Right.

[Gophersmock]

Have you ever heard the gimmes play an original song together? They're a cover band!

[DiggleMyth]

omg

u are an ignorant!

[hilsmortz]

One word 4 u gophersmock - durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[cyanidemaiden]

Thats okay, they're decent at what they do.

[Weihnachtskot]

More Respect to this song! The Original is the best song in the whole music-history!
