  • 1 will always be judge by the way they look its the usa way

  • I know there are a bunch of versions of this song and I love them all!

  • i love this song i grew my hair out and was treated like a criminal so i cut it but its almost where it was and if they gotta a problem i have two words for em lol

  • WOW, THE GOOD OLD DAYS...

  • I would like to see him jump my fence,he would have a load of oo buckshot in his ass.

  • This song was first recorded in the late 60's or early 70's but I do not remember the name of the group. This is a remake. Who was the orginial group?

  • @joanneshine

    Five Man Electrical Band

  • @joanneshine 5 Man Acoustic Band

  • The singer looks like a woman. I love that song

  • A meth-head or burglar was trespassing on my property, and I decided that should probably shoot his ass. So I grabbed my 5-shot revolver and put it in my pocket. The gun was so heavy it made my pants fall down, and then my blind dog scarred-him-off. This is a true story, and I live in Texas.

  • @oldschoolrockerkid then you are one of then few people in my generation that i respect

  • Words to live by :) utterly fantastic!

  • Lots of shit fucking up the scenery nowadays.... So sad!!

  • Thumbs up if fatboy slim sent you here :)

  • I'm curious how many guys still rock long hair? its about to be 2012, I grew up in the 80's, by the way (priceless times) I'm 35 and need a haircut still! how about you? thumbs up if your a dude with long hair and don't give a shit what they think! and no I don't have a mullet,lol

  • @RANS87IROCZ I'm 16, and I'm rockin long hair, along with my dad. It will never go out of stlye ;)

  • The sign said:

    Ron Paul 2012

  • i fucking love this <3

  • LOVE IT!

  • Jeff Keith (vocals) was a garbage collector right before he joined this band. Big career move! And that's no shit, look it up.

  • I must listen to this song atleast 10times a day. for the past few months.

  • @MissUranija ...again i say it, i know that some modern music is good, im 16, i know what music is currently being released i just think that most of it sucks. bands like three days grace, 3 doors down, five finger death punch, and several others i am a big fan of, i just hate this new age crap with tons of auto tune or with guys that sound like a 12 year old girl.

  • @JacobMexi it says long haired freaky people need not apply...

  • he

  • @JacobMexi lolwut

  • Comment removed

  • Remakes of older songs can be hit or miss. Telsa did a great job on this one. I am old enough to remember the original.

  • a masterpeice by tesla, they nailed It.

  • @haircutbob2 dude, im 16

  • @Mrlmdagod as i stated earlier "most" individuals in the most recent generalization have no taste in music, trust me, i know that some kids still like the classics, i mean im 16 and i love the classics

  • My favorite line "Thank you Lord for thinking about me, I'm alive and doing fine." Great!

  • @ XxYoungPlsysxX You can't generalize all kids. I'm 17 and I listen to more 70-90's music than new music. Most new music sucks!

  • @Sylinic first, im not a bigot, i realize taste in music is subjective, im simply voicing my opinion, others are welcome to their own. second i realize that there are some in this generation that still have a taste in music, i should know, i mean im 16 so i am a part of this generation. i simply believe that most individuals these days dont realize what theyre missing out on. ive been raised on classics. it used to be that you had to have talent to be a musician now all it takes is autotune

  • @crackjack375 i dont agree, i dont think music is leaving me behind at all, i like bands like slipknot and disturbed, three days grace, five finger death punch, hinder, as well as many other new age bands. its not all the music that sucks these days, its the taste in music. thats what leads to these frauds that call themselves musicians. i myself am a guitar player and singer and am trying to find a place in the music business but i still keep the core values of real music

  • Thankfully God only has 2 sings for us, they say yes or no.

  • @crackjack375 not my parents, its my genuine opinion, i just think most people these days, especialy youger kids listen to crap, i mean, theres justin bieber, lady gaga, rebecca black, these people are horrible musicians but for some reason kids seem to love them. and most rap music sucks these days too, i mean there is some good stuff but for the most part the music scene of today sucks.

  • @jakeb12345678 First of all, taste in music is completely subjective. Stop being a bigot, yet I agree with you, I can't stand any of them. That's not to say it's bad or even "not" music, if you think so you fail to grasp the concept of what music is. Aswell if you're going to generalize an entire generation by what you hear them overplay on the radio, quite frankly you're an idiot. Music is bigger and more innovative than it ever was, you just have to look for it.

  • @jakeb12345678 The thing is, is that music is always evolving. If you compare Gaga to Madonna, Gaga is doing a lot of what Madonna did in the 80s. Obviously, the music is way different, btu the shock value is there. I agree with you, the people you mentioned, along with rap sucks. period. However, what is "real" and what isnt cant be compared. Listening to KISS branded you a devil worshiper. Now look at Slipknot. Both are considered metal. Evolution is always happening, and its leaving us behind

  • 9 dislikes were stop signs 

  • Great remake by a great rock band!

  • me & the friends were singing this today!!

  • FRIKEN AWESOME

  • It's flashback time

  • The guy's playing a Hofner bass!!! Jeah! 

  • "So I got me a pen and a paper, and I made up my own f***** sign, I said "Thank you Lord for thinkin about me, I'm alive and doin fine" .... Classic!!!

  • 9 People work for a sign company

  • Blondie over there with the orange shirt is pretty shmexy..i dig it(;

  • LOVE THIS SONGGGG!!!!

    man your some kinda sinna!!!

  • i loved these 80s bands. music has sucked since 91 or 92. and today';s music is just garbage.

  • @BillyBlues34 i understand what you're saying but music doesn't suck today, only mainstream shit does, there's old bands still alive and new ones like Twiddle, The Black Keys, Wolfmother, Royal Bangs and many more, you just gotta dig deeper for the music these days.

  • @BillyBlues34 absurd generalisation.

  • i like this song

  • recorded at The Trocadero in Philly.

  • This is definitely the representative video of this album and this band. They are just so good when they work together at their peak.

  • what if i camped out on their yard? would they tell me to leave? can't i read the sign? man, they are some kind of sinner.

  • AWESOME.. I LOVE TESLA:)

  • 9 people couldn't read the sign.

  • i luv dis song lonng haired freaky ppl rock just like me

  • (1:16) Vaughan? :O

  • I believe this song and video was the impetus for the MTV Unplugged sessions that came a few years later.

  • yeah signs

  • @XxYoungPlayaxX yeah man, its the same for me. i love the classics. its just sad whats happened to music isnt it? kids these days dont even know what real music is!

  • @jakeb12345678 Sad to say, I can't agree more... and I'm part of this shitty generation of today! I'm 17 years old but I swear to God, I was meant to be born in th 50s so I could've been a teen during the 60's! Or maybe I was a hippie in my past life, but it got cut short because of a drug overdose! All I know is that I hate today's world and love everything about yesterday! The music, people, drugs, cities... everything was different back then, mostly for the better but there was lots of racism

  • @jakeb12345678 Many don't but thanks to YouTube they can discover it, and MANY are!

  • @jakeb12345678 What your parents said about your "music". The irony almost makes me laugh... almost.

  • @crackjack375 Exactly, so much exactly. Gladly someone has some common sense.

  • @jakeb12345678 look up crashdiet they are a new glam metal band they sound kind of like skid row

  • not all kids

  • @jakeb12345678

    Im 18, so you cant generalize kids, meaning everyone, im still a kid, and i love Tesla, Def Leppard, Jimi Hendrix, Poison, Skid Row, i mean just everything dude, so dont generalize

  • @jakeb12345678 That's not true. We're not all conformists that listen to what everyone else does this day and age. There is good music being made today. You just have to look harder for it. But no, most of you adults just assume that the only music being made today is the stuff you hear on the radio, and lump everyone under the age of thirty in with the group that listens to it.

  • Comment removed

  • @JukeI3ug new music isnt even considered music.. IT SUCKS

  • @jakeb12345678 I don't feel offended cuz next Sunday I'll be 18 :)

    You know, we do listen to this awesome stuff... at least the ones who have brains and a soul ;)

  • @jakeb12345678 kids these days / lol ur name is young playa?

  • @jakeb12345678 fursure man but its all good they will listen to anything New i love, The Doors, Jimi, all kinds of 60 and 70s music and i fuckin love this song

  • @jakeb12345678 actually..im 13..i love this music...i like to keep good music in my soul..not the music they play on the radio now

  • all time fav;)

  • I'm 15 years old , and this is what i call music, parents raised me with music like this, classic stuff. Van Halen , ACDC ...Styx , For that, i thank em. looking at all this autotune crap nowadays looks silly,i wish i could go back in time and expierance this great period of music :D

  • @XxYoungPlayaxX

    Sounds like you were born to great parents..

  • @XxYoungPlayaxX You want to experience somebody making a cover? You should listen to 70s and you should definitely listen to the original version of this song.

  • ABSOLUTELY!!!

    

  • Love me some long hair!!!

  • AWESOME! fuckin' signs

  • i was in oregon wen i heard first this song ..and ohhh he looks like dave groll jajajaja

  • Why are they all sitting down?

  • @mrrickmoser It's an acoustic set. The album that this version of "Signs" is on is called "Five Man Acoustical Jam." Great live album.

  • Don't know *why* this is dubbed the "offical" version... but it is a damn good one!

  • A good performance of a Great F*ckin' Song.

  • great song !

  • Ahhhhh the days of good conditioner, I mean look at their f-n hair.

    

  • This is one of Dave Grohl's best performances!!!...

  • @smithersandburns Thats not Dave Grohl, its Jeff Keith

  • @MikeToMoon .....Sign says sarcastic funny youtube comments, some people may not get...........

    ....so I type some more and make it into a little song, I haven't lost hope yet........

  • my first thought watching this: "OMG....HAIR....AND A LOT OF IT."

  • Tesla is allright.

  • I think Jeff Keith was so drunk off his ass that he couldn't remember the lyrics to the chorus of "Signs" but whatever he did it worked. Went Top 10. To Casey Kasem Tesla is only a 2 hit wonder. We say bullshit to Kasem's philosophy...ABBA fanboy.

  • Hey Sara Palin can your cute big booty ass read SIGNS??? Go Home lol

  • I used to dream about the girl at 1:05 when I was a kid!

    Thank you ma'am!

  • they look high as fuck in this video

  • @wedabest96 hahahahahaha very true, the singer looks high as fuck.

  • i love this song!

  • i rember i liked this song back when i was a kid. i still like this band today. im gonna go see them on saturday!!!

  • i luv it. over & over!!!!!!

  • An AMAZING cover of an AMAZING song.

  • yea i was just google-ing random words and a link to this page popped up..hwuhh it must be a sign

  • And the sign says if you dislike this video your ass will be kicked on site!!

  • looks like 4 people never saw the sign

  • @blackbeltbeatdown What gives YOU the right to come in an intrude on a song just because you don't like it? Answer me, PUNK. No one gives a SHIT about your opinions.

  • @SupernaturalBaby08 What gives you the right to run your mouth to me bitch? Holy fuck this song blows.

  • @blackbeltbeatdown THEN QUIT LISTENING TO IT, idjit.

  • their best song

  • Saw them in concert in 89 and they were awesome!

  • THANK YOU LORD ( AND TESLA) FOR THINKING ABOUT ME!! I'M ALIVE AND DOING FINE !!!!~ IMAGINE THAT! :) iF GOD WAS HERE HE'D TELL IT TO YOUR FACE MANNNN UR SOME KIND OF SINNER! hwuhhh-rock on tesla xoxoxo

  • Love TESLA and who never felt judged by its looks???

  • best song ever

  • Say there mister cant you hear just shut up and listen to a hell of a song

  • Saw these guys rocking in the round at the San Diego sports "aroma" back in the day. Good times.

  • saw them back in 1986 at a small bar in Wash DC, right after they released the single modern day cowboy.....they blew that bar apart that night, awesome

  • ...thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me, I'm alive and doin' fine!

  • GOD I LOVE THIS SONG

  • I think I'm going to find out where these Tesla guys live and I'm going to set up a tent on their property and start cracking beers and make a fire. If they tell me to leave I'll just say "what gives you the right to put up a fence and keep mother nature in"

  • @blackbeltbeatdown Nice response to my rebuttal. You are good.

  • @blackbeltbeatdown I think you would have to camp out on the lawn of the band that wrote it, also I don't think the members of the band Tesla or Five Man Electrical all live together in one house, also learn who John Lennon is you douche-canoe.

  • @Thisisjustacover I assure you, I know a hell of a lot more about the Beatles and music history than you do. I know Tesla didn't write the song, but they did cover it so they do approve of the message. I know that they don't live together also you moron.

  • @blackbeltbeatdown What I'm trying to figure out is how Don Henley is still around? According to his song, he went to the Hotel California, where he could check out, but could never leave. Poor guy. YOU DON'T TAKE SONGS FOR THE EXACT THING THAT THEY SAY!!!!!

  • @deer24689 Your comparisons are so far off base they're not even worth addressing. Tesla can spew their anti-establishment rhetoric until the cows come home, but if any of them long haired freaks step foot on my posted private property they absolutely WILL be shot on sight.

  • @blackbeltbeatdown the fact that you say if Tesla would step on private property that they would get shot on sight tells me you are just another ignorant american with nothing to prove and therefore can't learn from what John Lennon taught in the song Imagine, mind you it is about communisim but that is beside the point.

  • @blackbeltbeatdown Well. I hope you go to hell. :)

  • I love this song

  • do they respect other peoples dung

  • shit that has to be the most annoying song ever

  • 4 people respect other people's personal space and rights.

  • 4 people couldent read the signs

  • this is a remake dummies

  • Brings back so many memories of lazy summer days long gone x

  • deep shit, fukin' narcomans

  • WOW, The blonde at 1:05 is freak'n hot

  • I dislike Dave Rude. They need to get Tommy back.

  • 2 people cant read signs

  • Makes me want a smoke a bowl. Fuck yeah you guys rock!

  • "Then they passed around a plate at the end of it all and I did'nt have a penny to pay.... So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own F#*%@! sign.... I said Thank You Lord for thinkin bout me, I'm alive and doin fine" CLASSIC

  • @badenglish1984 ...Well said, I could'nt agree more!

  • 2 people are poffers.

  • Tesla has to be one of the most Underrated bands of all time! Just like Mc5. thank you Lord for thinking about me

  • tesla is a real"hair" band not like those""others" you see lol

  • tesla is a rea lhair band not like those "other bands" lol !!

  • they are a real "hair band not like those "others lol

  • Ronaldinho Gaucho ??

  • ahem,... @whoeverdislikedthissong FUCK YOU!!!

  • And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight"

    So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house

    Hey! What gives yo- *BANG BANG BANG* *music ends*

  • Originally performed by the 5 Man Electric Band waaaaayyyyy back in the the day. But man 'o man Tesla really nails it here. I love theses guys!

  • @WealthLetter ......They are one of the most Under-Rated rock bands EVER.

  • @badenglish1984 I agree with you!!!!

  • @badenglish1984 Kix is the most underrated band EVER

  • @blackrat98 ... Kix was definitely awesome!

  • one word.............yummmmmmmmmmm­mmmm!!

  • oh yeah fuck AMERIKAN'T IDOL(IODONIZED)

  • i JUST chucked my pipe on accidently lol

  • Turns out "She were involved in some deaf".....

    In Perkins.... one day. Very scary. No, she won't be ok.

    ...throws matches.

    (it's the scars you don't see)

  • WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT, Little Ponce Fontleroy? You'll never make it through THAT wall of "STUPID", but oh no, bitch MUMMY SMITH was all about "never get through my firewall". What you gonna do? Welcome to 1982, you fucking sick joke. WHAT are YOU going to do? (that's Grade 7 shit dude)

    Here, have a disguised, shaved, long haired hippy teacher teaching you about him, not yourselves. Like I was gonna forget that repeat performance from 98?

    Get a shrink, faggot..

    :O ,,||,,

  • So no it's like "MEOW bitch!" AND I killed your "mummy....", you just gotta "prove it", PratMan.

    So you see what we did was follow basic, dated 90's economic strategy and diversified , of course that was in the 90's, and I was referring to genetic stock. It's not the 90's anymore, and what a shitty school teacher. What a STUPID country.

    ....waves the :o

  • @67JRH- You are truly a moron. This is one of the greatest rock songs ever. The original is great and this Tesla remake is perhaps even better. What is todays working definition of "Redneck" by the way? Before you put down something so incredibly stupid, maybe think about it a little bit first. Maybe all of us that like this are "rednecks"(by todays working definition!!), but you are clearly an idiot.

  • wow usaully when bands are live they dont sound that good but this sounds great

  • @bruno123331 ~Totally. I saw them live and I was amazed. 20 years ago, lol, but still remember it! :)

  • @gamedame420 yes now that i remember i seen them live too they opened for poison i think it was 90 or 91

  • everyone pause it and go to exactly 0:04 and its hilarious. :)

  • Leave it to the state of Indiana and its typical corn husking ignorance to not allow a KID to play basketball at his school because he has long hair... and leave it to yahoo for it to make the front page and remind me of this song.... it still amazes me in 2011 some people are still so idiotic about ppl having long hair - its really lame. Great song.

  • I used to listen to them all the time with my older sister I love this song!!!
