  • Fucking whiners, Nickelback is epic, deal with it

  • I hate Nickelback every bit as much as your average internet user, but this is fucking killer.

  • I JUST FOUGHT THE REPLAY BUTTON 15 TIMES!!!!!

  • hooo yeahhhhhh :P......

    

  • All you haters gtfo! This version is way better than Elton Johns!

  • loves this when i go to superscross saturday night lil bitches!!!!

  • HORRIBLE REMAKE! Just when you thought Nickelback couldnt suck any harder you come across this shit on the side bar of related videos. Oh I knew id be in for a gruesome treat when I clicked on the video but Im more ashamed for adding on the the views that this video gets.

  • Nickelback fucking blows, this is sacrilege...thumbs up because you know it's true

  • Great example of how lame these guys are. Totally dumbed-down version, w/bludgeoning pwr chords in place of actual gtr parts. Plus they didn't even get the correct chords between the chorus & verse. Wrong (& incongruous) melody at the end refrains. Awful musicianship. Wrong lyrics: "have you seen my MATES?", not "my date." The song's about going out w/the guys, looking for women & mischief, not about taking out your GF. So weak...

  • love this version

    but you wouldnt think type of song would be an Elton John

  • sorry to Elton John but Nickelback makes this song sound how it's really meant to

  • @SuperGuitarMate Fuck that. Nickelback wishes they sounded good doing anything.

  • @heartshapedlife2 ur just jelous that the are famous and ur not dickweed hater

  • @megakid009 It's impossible to be jealous of Nickelshit. They suck. Oh and by the way, learn to spell.

  • @heartshapedlife2 fuck off you fucking douche bag why cant you stop hating and learn to like it or listen to something else douche

  • @megakid009 Can't like it, because they suck, and can't listen to something else because Nickelback is FUCKING EVERYWHERE.

  • @heartshapedlife2 dude, this song is awesome. I respect the classic, but this version is much better than Elton John's

  • @deathring1133 The court of the internet has decided to ban you from ever using it again.

  • @heartshapedlife2 look, u can say u dont like nickelback, or rock, or anything of your choosing, just dont insult things and ruin them for those who actually have some sense of human decency. and if u really didnt like it, just hit that dislike button, that's what its there for

  • @deathring1133 Too late. Already did. Twice. Not very satisfying.

  • @heartshapedlife2 ok, u put in ur 2 cents, so if u please, u need to stop giving people a hard time just cuz their opinions differ from urs

  • @SuperGuitarMate agreed

  • SATURDAY NIGHT HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA!!!!!!!!

  • @NewYorkFan1994SRHS When I was a kid, I lived in northern MN and the CBC out of Winnipeg was the only tv station we could get with a decent signal. Every Saturday before HNIC, they played Warner Brothers cartoons. Perfect segue-cartoon violence into real violence. Damn, was being a kid fun in the 70s. :P

  • lol this song is actually way better than the original one

  • to anyone who enjoys this song better than the original get the fuck out

  • i dont like this song

    

  • NB made this song heterosexual, hell yeah\m/!!!

  • Comment removed

  • heres how you rape a song :D

  • If you don't like Nickelback, then why are you even listening to their songs!? Serisouly grow up. This is for people who actually like them! Don't put them down where everyone else loves them! It's as if you're trying to start something. Grow up, and move on.

  • ELTON JOHN FOREVER!!!

  • @Basketmake2001 I agree, but in this rare case Nickelback nailed it.

  • they early stuff...pretty much ending with this song...were great, fun to listen to, and got you pumped...while the newer songs are mostly junk, focre fed with vomit, with a few pieces of silver(not gold platinum or diamond-like)

  • I may not like Nickelback personally but knowing that they are Big Pantera fans and that Dime was a fan of them I give them a lot of respect!

  • @RnClark89 By the way DIMEBAG plays the solo in this song! Give credit where credit is due..

  • Loved it! John's version is more tuneful, but this one is spot on. The attitude is exactly right for the subject. Thanks for sharing.

  • <3 Elton Johon! <3 Nickelback! If I had a belly full of beer and was gonna smash someones face this song playing in my head would sound like the Nickelback version not the Elton John version!

  • @MrRobinRice couldnt put it any better. respect the old, make room for the new

  • I love this song in the original version,this version on on steroids...awsome

  • @sofititccd you suck.

    Nickelback is a classic I happen to love this song and if u don't like it don't listen to it tard.

  • @annieennesser424 A classic piece of shit. ;D

  • R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell playin the solo in this song...

  • ugh why did Nickleback have to go and fag out this song...

    Nickleback is by far the worst band ever. Would rather eat shit and die then have to listen to Nickleback

  • i know that Nickelback isn't really for everyone, but i do like their songs (including the cover of Elton John's original version). sure their music hasn't evolved, but i do enjoy some of their songs

  • Even jesus hates them...

  • dam this sucks ass

  • this sucks... a lot!

  • LOL "I look like Jesus"

  • Good re-make!

  • it hurts to hear how nickelback doesnt know the first lyrics to the song "Mates NOT Dates"

    Nickelback aint no real fan of Elton John Beautiful Music

  • I like this version as much as the original EJ , , , , , especially when my CAPS play it to open a home game on Saturdays!!! ROck the RED!!!

  • I liked the original (except for the "...drunker than a barrel full of monkeys" line--kind of a cheap rhyme) and I like this one ("bar full of winos" makes more sense, anyway). Give 'em their due--they really know how to play a good rock song when they get hold of one.. And why have I never heard of a band called "Barrel Full of Monkeys" (or "Bar Full of Winos", for that matter)?

  • @KenziGrace15 no they don't. You have no taste in music. If you think they suck then why the hell are you listening to their music

  • This song is perfect for Impact Wrestling In the future and the fans will go wild for this and the vewers as well It will be the Intro for 2014

  • nickelback sucks.

  • Comment removed

  • Nickleback is great for pump up songs, and all you people who think your so cool cuz u know the original is by sir. Elton john, who is an amazing musician, can shut the fuck up. No one cares.

  • Horrible cover...

  • Stop sucking before you even think of touching this masterpiece again.

  • eh ok I think nickelback is ok but, this cover sucks the balls of a barrel full of monkeys.

  • KILL IT WITH FIRE!

  • This is so bad if you listen Elton's version first.

  • God this is wank.

  • WOAHHHH talk about pumping you up. makes you fell like you can punch someone, oops, anyone can already do that

  • According to Wikipedia Dime Bag Darrel PLAYED GUITAR ON THIS TRACK!!! Darrell Abbott also performed a solo on the titular track of King Diamond's Voodoo album. A sample from a guitar solo by Abbott was used in the Nickelback song "Side of a Bullet", and he also played guitar on Nickelback's cover of Elton John's Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting along with Kid Rock.

  • I remember seeing them play this live song live and it was amazing! Ryan is hell of a talented singer.

  • jesus plays rock

  • OMG CRAP

  • @BrentHauserman1 Why are you even fighting with that moron? He has nothing intelligent to say obviously. I hate trolls so much.

  • Better than the original.

  • Fuck You All! Nickelback ROCKS! People like them they have Succeeded while you are doing nothing sittin in front of your computer talking shit and judging like idiotss they are WINNIN' AND ROCKIN'!

  • This is a GREAT cover of this song.  Anyone who doesn't think so needs to get their hearing checked.

  • (Comes back a week later) What kind of world is this when a person can't make a snarky comment on youtube? I don't hate the idea of covers. I don't hate anyone who's a Nickleback fan solely on that fact, I just really think their music is god-awful, in particular this cover. I think this version has a different context than the original and most of the elements are lost. I also believe that success is relative. They sold records, good for them, but that doesn't make the music any better.

  • people think that KoRn came up with "brick in the Wall" or that John Mayor came up with "Free Falling" btw when you think of Elton john, you dont picture him saying "Saturday's alright for Fighting" he is more famous for "rocket Man" or "your Song"

  • uninspired crap.

    Every thoughtfully placed money making power chord.

    Fucking useless. Just look at what they have done with their fame. Nothing remotely interesting.

  • Elton's version is good (I was listening to it before most of you were born). This version is different, but no less good. And no, I'm not a Nickelback fan. I just don't understand why so many people are soiling their undies over Nickelback or which version is "best." Elton did a cover of The Who's "Pinball Wizard;" Quiet Riot covered Slade at least twice; Mannfred Mann covered Springsteen; Korn covered Pink Floyd. It's all just music...shut up and enjoy it.

  • @daviddrakehunter

    It's SO less good. They are soiling their undies because nickelback fans are not very intelligent on average. I can pretty much say that for sure.

    Everything about nickelback sucks. Years ago I didn't even know other people besides myself felt that way, but when ever I'd see those fake fuckers on tv I was amazed by every note they played. It is fascinating how bad they are. It's 50% trying too hard, 50% actually sucking too hard at music.

    Real music is not simple and gray.

  • @yageman What you're really railing against is "junk food" rock: formulaic, over-produced, radio-friendly rock, stuff that labels churn out because it makes them money. That's fine, it just means you have a broader musical palette than Joe Average. But that doesn't mean there's no place for it; I love a beautifully aged prime rib, but sometimes, I just want a cheeseburger. Think of it as "entry level" rock that you graduate from as your tastes refine, but still revisit occasionally for grins.

  • Comment removed

  • @yageman OK, I'm going to bail out from this conversation because nothing good's going to come of it. You've clearly got a major axe to grind if you're getting this worked up over a mediocre band. It's not worth it. Take care, friend.

  • Comment removed

  • @yageman

    I like Nickelback and had a 4.0 gpa in high school and currently have straight a's in college. You can give your opinions on whether or not you like the band or not; that's just opinion. However, please don't say that Nickelback fans are unintelligent on average when you have nothing to back it up.

  • @BrentHauserman1

    You say I can give my opinion because it's just opinion? You must be one of the smart ones.

    You are right. I don't have the stats to back up my funny comment. The thing is though, I don't need stats.

    Nickelback sucks that much. If you rock out to this garbage in your car on the way to school, you are a retard.

    Derka derka.

  • If you think Nickelback is great music, clearly you have no taste in music.

  • This song kicks ass....nuff said

  • Comment removed

  • This is fucking horrible. "THEN WHY'D YOU CLICK ON THIS?!?!"

    I don't know why I did... I made a mistake...

  • @kasey172 IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN GO LISTEN TO THE FUCKING RAP!!!!!

    Anyway this music rocks ;)

  • @pepoun99 Why rap?

  • @ColoredKarma Thank you. I love your name, I love what you said, I love the truth, I love your wording, and I love you. May you fight with the strength of an ogre.

  • it hurts my soul to think that some people (mostly of the younger generation) think this is the original. Nickelback is the skid-mark on the underpants of the pop music industry.

  • @ColoredKarma On the contrary, Nickelback is the best and one of the most successful bands of the 21st century, if you people don't don't like Nickelback, DON'T FRIGEEN WACTH THEIR VIDEOS!!!!

  • @nickelback12345670 I usually don't chyme in like this... but Ewwwwww!! You like Nickelback!!

    I clicked on this video to see if this is real... and it is...

  • @nickelback12345670 whelp i wanted to see if they did elton good with the cover with kid and dimebag... they fucked up the first lines

  • @nickelback12345670 he does have a point about people thinking its the original

    

  • @ColoredKarma nickelback did it better than elton john

  • @ColoredKarma im 16 and i know that elton john wrote this  song origanial

  • Comment removed

  • @ColoredKarma

    LOL, you said it brother.

  • @ColoredKarma I'm 14 and I knew this wasn't original. Plus not trying to insult you but I've probably heard of shit you never even thought of. Not rap either. But then again you probably know shit I've never heard of. My point is not all teenagers like myself are like that. Plus Dimebag played in this song too.

  • @ColoredKarma not quite. sayiing their a skidmark really is just the popular thing to say cause of the public. well yes it is true they should at least know elton john made it originally but in my case i hate elton john. i think his voice sounds like a cat getting hit by a car and that the way the guitars sounded were rather thin and i dont like that. i relaize elton john is pretty good but i just dont like him.

  • @ColoredKarma hahahaha! that was funny!

  • @ColoredKarma if you hate it

    GET THE FUCK OFF THEIR VIDEOS

    i also happen to like the orignal

    but this one is more my style hard rock heavy metal

  • @ColoredKarma

    Get over yourself, I'm sure you have favourite bands who have covered other songs and you were fooled into believing it was an original.

    Occasionally a band will cover another song, it is not sealing nor bad and it is certainly not unique to Nickelback.

  • @ColoredKarma No, that would be Linkin Park. They go beyond the realm of suck and approach unacceptable to listen to at any time.

  • great effort!!!!!!

    

  • EWWW!!!! Dezertfox4323 hit the nail on the head... God awful... Jesus fucking christ, fuck you, modern music industry and all its poser douchebags who keep ruining good old songs... I used to hate Elton John, but this is a terrible raping of one of his great songs. He's an incredibly talented musician. Nickelback sucks balls.

  • WELL if you think about it Thanks to nickelback this song has stuck around if it wasnt for nickelback this song woulda died .. thats my opinion how many people you think would listen to this song by elton john not as many as nickelback version

    \

  • @sweetadaliner Nope, elton john is still relevant. Just because the kids don't listen to him, it doesn't mean he isn't popular.

    Okay, I just heard the part where they keep saying "saturday" over and over again, and holy shit, Nickelback... Way to not have any melody in your voice whatsoever, and way to just scream like a douche... God damn, when will modern artists quit ruining old songs? It's getting ridiculous

  • @DerStadtschutz I never made this comment....wonder who is hacking me!!!!! I wouldn't make a comment like that...I don't even listen to NB!

  • @sweetadaliner just for the record...I NEVER made this comment!!!!! Hmmmmmmm

  • This cover isn't bad, but compared to the legit version, @dezertfox4323, yep, it's god awful.

  • @quanicle101 It's god awful regardless...

  • This is God Awful.

  • rocks!!!!!

    

  • I don't hate it - but it's not the best version going.

  • Dunno, I kinda like.Pretty good...

  • Why couldn't a good band have covered this :-(

  • Oh my! This cover sucks! Even WASP can do Elton John better... their cover version is much better!

  • kicken a__!!!!

  • is it gay if i get more pumped from elton john's original?

  • Nickelback with Dimebag and Kid Rock alright by me!

  • awful cover....... boring....uncreative...it is gay...Elton rocks!!

  • @33jbh I AGREE

  • Nickelback featuring Kid Rock

    is like a dish of shit with piss as a drink

  • Hey, if you don't like the song, don't listen to it. Simple as that.

  • Nickelback, please stop ruining old songs.

  • Hurry up and turn on the Elton John version before my image of this song is ruined forever.

  • It's really cool how they ruined it.

  • it's not really that bad.

  • this song is missing something hmmm. what is it? oh wait i remeber class and elton john

  • This is missing some piano. And some soul.

  • Maybe Nickelbacks guitar players suck...perhaps that's why Dimebag Darrell plays the solo.

  • NickelBack \\ m //

  • This song was pretty good

  • Thanks for bastardizing a great song.

  • this kicks friday's ass >:D

  • listen to: Vasco Rossi-Delusa.... he took inspiration from that... maybe it's a copy?

  • What a bunch of douchebags! I knew this track would suck...but to this degree...I couldn't have imagined. I am sad that I gave nicklejacks the benefit of the doubt. :(

  • Best cover ever.

  • Good God this is terrible.

  • I miss kid rock.. :/

  • <33

  • This is terrible. Nickelback shouldn't be ruining great songs like this.

  • @SquidfishProduction I know everyone has their one opinion but dude..... Elton John's version sounded gay

  • @TheAqualegend Well, maybe that's because Elton John is gay, but facts are facts, this cover is shitty, the vocals are shitty and Nickelback is in general, a shitty band.

  • Comment removed

  • @EmeffMonkey Correction NEW nickelback is a shitty band.Old nickelback is 4X better.

  • @TheAqualegend New Nickelback is the same as old Nickelback.

  • @SquidfishProduction Nah new Nickelback is less rock and more country

  • @SquidfishProduction they did good they did'nt ruin it obviously you have horrible hearing or just listen to shitty music

  • @kroegerpeakeadair92 Um, no. I have fantastic hearing actually. It is you who have terrible hearing because you listen to and obviously like bands like Nickelback. They play the simplest music. They're just another pop band.

  • @SquidfishProduction um........... their rock asshole they play more on the rock stations then pop their popular your not fuck off

  • Respond to this video... They just added balls to it.

  • @samleigh15 since when did sounding shit equal balls

    "oh this song has too much melody lets load it down with puonds of bass and and get crapy "grity" singer to make it sound manly " i know elton is fag but this shit is GAY

  • @woods8870 We have our own opinions.
