My Generation Cover performed by FinishLine

[oldrockfan]

thanks for the comments. Just a heads up the band has just got back from the studio and the first two songs from their upcoming CD are mastered and will be up on i-tunes in a few days. Lots of new videos have been shot and will be released soon.

Keep On Rockin!

[donkmeister]

I love this version... John Entwhistle is my favurite bassplayer of all time so I am really seriously critical of The Who covers, but you guys nailed it. Even The Who never played it the same way twice, just look at some of their concerts!!! Keep on rockin'!!!!!!!

[BrAnDoNmAsTeR0fMeTaL]

Great cover, dudes!

Check out my cover of this song and others

/watch?v=DwfQCuZUlF4

JIMI HENDRIX, NIRVANA, PINK FLOYD, THE WHO AND LED ZEPPELIN COVER!!



[keatonep]

Not bad. Could be just a bit smoother. You aren't The Who, but you didn't make me punch the computer screen. Good job

[SnowDrifter10]

no offence but to the singer listen to the song more

[Teemujus]

why the fuck do u have a finnish flag on your wall? :D

greetings from finland! nice cover btw

[tohsmir]

From Texas eh? What's whit the Finnish Flags? Terveisiä Suomesta :D

[noobpowner901]

I'm not sure if your drummer sucks or if he just had a bad day

[casisupermati]

I think you guys have to respect the song to the max. With no effects, and less exaggerated.

Something else, do not choose a Who song. Let's say de John Enwistle plays a "little" more than any other bassist.

I'm Argentinian, so probably i wrote everything like shit

[Motoko97]

I would clode the hi-hat and put two fingers on the bass and get rid of the effects. Too many symbals and the song is pretty good. You're almost there but not quite.

[oldrockfan]

thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Even the criticisms are cool with the band because it all just helps make them work harder to be good at what they do. Just keep in mind this one was done 3 years ago so the band has learned quite a bit since then. We hope you check out their newer stuff and as always all comments positive and negative are welcome. Also check out the band playing at the Dallas international guitar show sunday april 17th at 1pm for the top 10 under 20 contest.

[raidenx1300]

I've seen other covers and you guys manage to have more energy in your practice space than some other guys on stage. Awesome work guys.

[oldrockfan]

@raidenx1300 thanks! Hard not to get into this song... always a favorite to play and the Who was/is a great band.

Keep On Rockin,

FinishLine

[skatasterfi]

gaayyy

[FeelingGoodFilms]

You guys rock:D

[sgthies]

woahwoahwoah! :D that was fanatstic! and the last jump is like pete townshend :-)

great cover!

[TheeMarilyns]

You rock :)

[MrZonemetal]

q buen cober

[iluvmyaxe]

man this is crap 

[chiefcrtc]

You'll find that most individuals that put you down or criticize can't play a lick but want you to believe they can. You guys are right on target for your age, in fact you may be a little advanced. Keep up the good work, I like your music.

[johnnymitnick]

you guys are a great band dont listen to what other people sya because i actually play bass and guitar and i know that the bass solo was great and tht the guitar solo was impressive, rock ony ou guys

[metzepp]

good, but u gotta stutter

[tacohead34]

Not bad but the singer needs to work on getting the feeling and getting the mood of the real singer I sang this for my band and hit it spot on so keep up the good work

[guitarablejack]

that was mad : ]

[sangunarius]

slow down ur singing and grind it out a little more. but otherwise awesome cover

[staypress]

a bit messy and mr bassman u need to practice a bit more but OK

[bparry68]

its just nouse,dont like it



[DjDaman7]

@bparry68 shut up

[decas115]

that drums .....:(

[anamalechecho]

Not bad actually, not many people can really pull that off. I was waiting for the bass drum to explode though... But yeah, as with everyone else who has said this, never ever use effects for a bass solo, it just sounds like your playing a crappy solo low down on the neck of a guitar. Of course you can use effects if your doing an ambient song, or its like a fuzz sound your using, but not all the time. The bass has to be nice and clean to keep everything together :) Vox were good too :)

[degot88]

good

[rockerr12595]

very cool cover but the drums are pretty high and for the band bass solo you shouldn't use gain or at least lower it

[unclechrisrocker]

dude, your bassist kinda ruined the hole song lol, take away the effects, and no offence, but he needs a little more work, and does not diserve that bass he has..

[zigzagman1031]

@unclechrisrocker See the difference is that John Entwhistle was a Bassist. This guy just plays a bass.

[unclechrisrocker]

lmao im not trying to be hater at all!

but that seriously made no sense, like if he plays bass for your band.. then he's a bassist, unless he plays some other instrument, but if he does, then why is he playing bass in your band? just sayin

[christianconefery]

the singing was very weird

the drumming wasnt good

and

why did you use use effects on the bass it sounded awful

1 star

[soccerdude2615]

Hey...bassist...do not use effects for the bass solo!

[MartinPurvis]

:O  Where's the stutter?

[Wijnandp13]

sounds cool!, but i think the drum is to loud

[bgsdfhugvufbgv]

Jumala siunatkoon Suomi!!!!!!!!!

[WingsOfFate9]

don't take it bad, but the singer's voice is not good for this song. And the bass solo doesn't sound good. Anyways you're a very good classic rock band. The world needs more bands like FinishLine.

We try to do classic music too, but we have just 6 months playing. Check our videos.

[magicyte]

@WingsOfFate9 You guys are pretty good for just starting out...very smart choosing easier songs to begin with...you guys are gonna have a good time with music for a long time...keep up the positive vibes.

[FiveNinezBand]

You guys rock. Keep it up.

[MetalBrotha666]

yo christianfonefery I don't see you doin any damn better...you guys are pretty good keep it up dudes

[Mutale94]

what effect do you guys use on the bass solo ?

[oldrockfan]

Stephen used the hi-gain boost on the G&K bass amp maxed out for the tone on bass solo.

[8000cheese]

@Mutale94 I think its called shit

[saemikneu]

@Mutale94

originally, John Entwistle of the Who didn't use effects. Just high treble, a little gain (rarely overdrive pedal) and Rotosound bright strings with an Fender P bass

[christianconefery]

the drummer was terrible ,

the singer was terible ,

the bassist was terrible

and why the hell do you have 2 guitars that sounds terrible

[TomMagic92]

You've got a point.

[supak108]

this was really good

[0707905]

the bass player looks a little like alex turner from the arctic monkeys

[migrainband]

guitarist looks bit like ozzy!

[GGGGGABEGOLDEN]

yesss new dummer haha hes alot better haha

[Zoltan1251]

wow great cover boys........... just bad microphone........ but really good cover, better than most on youtube......

[danieldannyk7]

Holy Crap!

[megadethrulez]

is two guitars really necessary?

bass sounded good atleast

[mnorm5150]

This is not bad at all.

[grungepunk93]

the singer is a girl or a boy ?

[TheJakewilson]

Finally! A amature band with some style that doesnt suck!

[Gibnah97]

its so refreshing that young dudes still dig good music... and play it well!

[urfrenchfry1]

not as good as entwhistle townshend daltrey or moon, but that was still pretty fucking awesome. u guys ROCK

[Crazymannhiscrew]

Daaaaaaamn! This one is f'ckin' amazing! I love FinihLine! now i'm your greatest fan! Keep on rockin'! You're the first really good band since 1987! Daahahahaaamn!

[surrealIdeal]

good job (including bass!) but you make the guitar section more difficult then it is: just X022XX and then 3X22XX. you keep your first finger on the 4the and 3th string. but how is the solo?

[IanSimpsonguitar]

This is CRAP!!!!!!!!!! The drummer has no idea the singer has never heard of the song

[CrazyTrainisawesome]

no offense but u missed three freakin versesi should know my band is playing this and i sing and play bass to this song

[LoungePissings]

awesome

[skatakidlovestoskate]

stuttering...no?

[rexnchetproductions]

awesome cover u guys i really liked it . and i love that u play classic rock

[lorenzothebestpisa2]

the bassist is good .....but i don' t like the effect of the bass solo....good cover!=)

[wassmansdorff]

ECA

E-C-A!!

[KevyNova]

To all the people with negative comments:

These are KIDS! They are having fun and doing a great job for their age. I hope they don't get discouraged by some faceless internet trolls because if they stick to it, they'll be GREAT someday.

[ImShloodoo]

i really liked the bass :)

[youstolemybaby]

has the lead singer ever heard the song?

[m5entertainment]

the drummer needs some work, the singing isn't great, but its still pretty good nice work you guys.

[howdenjackass]

that was pretty good guys, loved the bass sound :P and the singing is good, solos pretty awesome :P

keep going guys

[jimmyp73]

everythings great but the drummer is lacking

[LandiniC]

Agghhh that bass solo sucks!!!!!!!

[JimiHendrixSite]

It was a good cover but you should have used the ride and the drummer came in way to early when the bassist was doing the solo. And you should have studdered when singing it.

[raslau22]

pretty decent cover drums were a bit sloppy but good, bass was fine no problems there, lead guitar well it was pretty damn if you ask me but then we get to the silly twat on lead vocals two words give up or improve drastically very quickly, you had a horrible voice and have absolutely no style and im not on about fashhion im on about stage prescence it just seemed to cheesy plus stop tryin to be Pete Townsend cos believe me you aint nothing like him, sorry but im just being honest

[raslau22]

lead guitar well it was pretty damn **good**

[CrazySteveandJohn]

lmao, you are bollocks! you are all a bunch of sweaty little gimpy geeks that collect ant farms

[jonagwoo]

and you are a cocky asshole

[dogdoo101]

lmao, you are a dipshit :P

[Cederholm3]

Ye , its to noisy whit the hihat opened. as razveck said, it would have sound better whit hihat closed and do the ride instead of crash, and fill it up whit more work on the bass drum. I wonder if you have dubble bass pedals? (Sorry for english), but u guys doing a good job, keep doing those covers :)

[razveck]

The drummer is playing on a crash, or perhaps the open hi-hat? Cos it doesnt sound very good. Its too noisy. The ride (original version) or closed hi-hat would be perfect.

Other than that its pretty good, my band did a cover of this song too :)

[oldrockfan]

good point and we agree closed hihat or ride would have been a bit cleaner in the mix. thanks for the comments and the constructive criticisms, all good if it makes us get better!

Keep On Rockin,

FinishLine

[BouldernBiscuit]

You missed two verses??? it was still pretty good. Check out my bands cover of this song!!!!!!!!!!!

[ignitionfive]

Keep blowing the tiles off the roof and giving the neighbors many sleepless nights. Well played guys.

[accordv6er]

not bad really! very hard song to play

[UraharaLawliet]

I can´t stop listening to this song. I love your covers! I Love your music! I´m glad that still there are people who like this kind of music ^_^

Please, make yourselves famous and come to Spain xD (Sorry for my English, again)

[accordv6er]

your english is way better than my spanish, besides,you're english is perfect. =P

[perfectionless]

Pretty good but to me it would've been better with the studders

[hannanathan564]

wow best cover of this soong ive seen but the sound is 2 loud it destorted my speakers

good job 5 stars

[1noObster45]

high 5 man nice cover

[rapidcharlie129]

went 2 see who live in the liberty (footie team i supppports stadium :))

[Keigen12]

il bassista suona con il plettro che sacrilegio in questa canzone

[gryzlov]

What does this mean in english? I'm curious to know.

[Keigen12]

nothing I just said that the pick in this song is a sacrilege because every bass player play with their fingers,however in the solo they use a finger well it's very good

[gogolo30]

very good guys

two thumbs up

[screamineagles92]

hey man r u distorting the bass sounds good though

[guitarman093]

yo man sweet guitar solo. give you props

[zeppzo4]

Your drummer looks like entwisstle.

[mrmangobam]

wow.

been meaning to get into a band like this for a ahile.

oly problem the drums r just a bit to loud

[MoonTheLoonPremier]

weres the studder?

[dillydew3]

is that a Geddy Lee Fender Jazz Bass??? If so that bass costs almost $1000!!!

[zzeppelinn1968]

not bad but that bass solo could have been way better

[calebskee]

the bassist is awesome!!

[Baddie922]

the base and drum player are musicians to not be reckoned with! look at them GO!

[buzzsawkid]

I remember when I was that young doing what you are doing, so many memories.  Have fun and great job guys -- keep working it!

[totobet]

good stuff!!

[scampoli25]

hey guys good cover, i just love this song. and its sooo loud, you guys really made keith and pete proud lol. i just have so say one thing, ur drummer is like a second early when i comes back into the chorus but other than that good job guys

[hardrockerdave94]

What do you need earplugs for?? Surely it can't be that loud! But brilliant cover all the same.

[audet79]

You obviously never played with a band in a small room... wearing earplugs is the smart thing to do!

[RollLikeAbox]

drums are going a big crazy

[sexsum]

I find it cool !!

[BoyleJr]

is it a geddy lee fennder jazz bass?

[nickers2]

is it just me or are the drums too loud?

[WrathRI]

2 things

1-drummer should use bass drum instead of drum stick in the instrumental break

2-your bassist is a fucking animal

[MysteryMan307]

why don't you stutter?

[travman102]

it's a cover doesnt have to be an exact copy I usually like covers that do change it up a bit better neways

[LeedsRhinos4eva]

i was waitin for the rest of the song were it rele gets good, PEOPLE TRY TO PUT US DOWN, where it is basically shouted.

other then that brilliant

[pablitocre]

So cool, but i was waiting more from bass guitarrist.

[zephram65]

The Who don't use bar chords in this song. Pete Townshend uses a G to a F/G.  It gives the song more depth. All right otherwise.

[jsennd]

nah he only uses the bass strings of a g chord

[namniekib]

Nice!

[Waluigi41]

i disagree with everyone who says distorted bass is bad, and no stutters, its a cover, and the distorted bass put a nice feel and personality to the song

[gusgda]

earplugs??

[LastMenStandingband]

dude, y does your bass sound so distorted.

[zzeppelinn1968]

its called distortion thats how john entwistle played it

[steve371970]

Why have you got a British and Finish flag on the wall??

[oldrockfan]

finnish flag is because josh and stephen grandparents are from Finland. Brit flag is because we like british rock!

[LillaKrisu]

oh yeah, finland :D that's where i'm from!

[RocknRoll4evur]

HOLY @#%*& cow!!! u guys r bomb!! hey wen u become famous send me an autograph! lol

[Piratezrule]

Singing was... iffy. The bassist, being a bassist myself, should've made up his own fills, or at least not played the same one twice, that was lame (the bass playing in my vids is old, and therefore bad, disregard it). The black SG guy is sick, and in my opinion, is the strongest member of the band. And this is a legitimate question, why the headphones?

[oldrockfan]

bass player was trying to do what original bass player did which if you listen to The Who, is not easy since Entwhistle was an incredible bassist. Thanks for feedback though and those weren't headphones but earplugs since it gets loud in the practice room sometimes.

Keep On Rockin,

FinishLine

[box1234567891011]

Drummer needs to chill out a lil bit ;o

[LastMenStandingband]

You guys rock except for your drummer. he's not even close to the right drum beat. all he's doing is hitting a loose hi hat. you should see my band do this song.

[Squal537]

Pretty bleh, it sounds more pop of the 90s and it streamed together too much. Fairly nice for learning the song and for the multitasking of the vocalist as singing off beat and playing a rhythm can be tough. Not enough Bass and too much distortion. I mean nothing can be perfect but this sounds more 90s punk than 60s pop.

[mikem1030]

you should of kept this drummer. he's better than the new one you got

[jsennd]

caleb's scheduel wasnt fitting and he wasnt really into rock he liked more reggage

[tygur91]

this rocks!!!!!

[jsennd]

man u forgot to stutter cuz dultrey stuttered cuz at the time non rockers thot if u did drugs u wood stutter so he made fun of that

[weirdone156]

sry for the mean comment but ummm...I'll try to get vids from my current band but my old band (the one i was playing in with the older peeps) sadly broke up. But i'll try to get some vids from my band now. Thanks for responding and i wish you good luck with your ROCKIN! Its always good to have fun in the process and i think you guys are doing great and having fun in teh process so keep doing what ur doing!

[weirdone156]

u guys stink...when a guy has a solo you should be able to hear him...teh drummer needs to lower his volume. Also when ur singing u should have ur mouth basically on the mic and the other guys should lower there volume so that they can hear u...u guys are good but u have a lot of potential to be great. I would no, i played with this one band and we were great. I was the youngest guy there(11) playing with 16 year olds.

[oldrockfan]

constructive criticism is cool and agree drums are too loud but it is hard to mute drums in a small room. Any vids of your band? Always cool to see vids from other bands our age.

[gunsnrosesxxfcx]

hey can you tab out that like guitar solo/fill and all that cause we are covering the same song and that sounds tight as hell

[mowshow1sl]

the camera cant take the much noise so its kind of fusy

[jsennd]

try to ignore the cameras u guys besides bassist seem to focus on them

[dragonmaster741]

nice sg

[BlondeSmartiesTJ]

<3 it!..

I love this songg.

And I love this band =)

[candy654]

does the bass hasve distortion in this video?

[oldrockfan]

yah, he set his G&K amp up to do the bass part with overdrive on this song. Most songs he leaves it pretty clean but we were trying to do this version of My Generation with a little more distorted sound.

[HappyRobot1]

good job. very good. and you nailed the bass solo.

[deidaranicola]

stephen you ROCK

[bigal224]

wicked cover!

[sk8habitat7]

wheres the studder?

[alex657932]

great cover guys love the background singing, the lead is pretty good, instrumentals awesome, one thing though(no, it's not the stutter)

where's the feeling? you, the lead guy. you've got so much hair man, use it!

[PowerSlaveN]

Wheres the stutter guys?

[marmellata10]

Green day cover???????

[sk8habitat7]

you idiot its the who not green day you have to be a retard to think its green day

[marmellata10]

First of all, I know The Who very well...stupid man!!! Then....I don't know why my comment was posted on this video!

There's another video named "Anything Plain-My Generation(Green Day cover)"etc...my comment was for them!!!

Fuck you!

[TheSoundWithin]

singer looks like john lennon

[lsdman14]

the lead singer isnt very good. he tries to make the singing a little too modern. and his look is terrible. for the instrumentals its all good though. credit to the lead guitar player

[Lance175799]

bad ass

[PowerSlaveN]

Great bassist, good drummer, and guitars, but wheres the stutter.

[Anticrombie918]

[Martinatje]

[foley1221]

lead guitar is excellent.

[roguepenguin94]

i wish you did the little stutter at the ends of phrases like in the original, but i guess with a cover you gotta make somethin different.

[iplayguitarido]

great. but one problem. loost the SG

[Gradey3]

You guys are well organized, i really like the kid with the glasses, hes got talent

[lildrummerman0]

TURN UP YOU MIC VOLUME!!!

[pookaaa]

The singer is annoying..
