  • Dolores would be proud. Brenda sounds awesome. Very, very cool cover, you guys.

  • That was an EXCELLENT performance, great musicians. Cheers.

  • Comment removed

  • These guys would get paid $1000/night in NJ and play for great crowds too...maybe $1500/gig...there is no way with the sound of 5 people in the audience that they are paid what they are worth from a pizza joint. How does a pizzeria boot the hottest duo in the country?

  • We are planning a roadtrip to Utah from indiana to come see you... I just love all your songs :)

  • I live right outside Nashville (Music City) & I know there is talent waiting everyday there is waiting to be discovered. You guys have it & it is being wasted in the Pizza/Beer Pub. Damn....all those people in Salt Lake City already use to you.....a couple of them clap when each one of them should be on their feet applauding.....that song was awesome. What a waste of talent not being able to be heard nationwide.

  • I'm already a fan!!!!

  • I hear this more than the original, beautiful voice.

  • almost like dolores, I like it

  • God, someday I'll visit this Pizzeria!

  • Amazing!!!

    

  • Superb!

  • Really beautiful, every time I listen to it.

  • You have a Great Voice, and to play and sing like that an keep Rythem is good not everyone can do that. ;] Love all your Videos.

  • sounds like dolores . seriously . no , not really same . better .

  • wow, this sounds really good! i opened the video then went about my work listened for a minute and then suddenly had to double check to make sure this wasn't a live acoustic version of the original.... nice job guys!

  • Better then the original :)

  • MG this is great, iys only a unpluge man, gd job guys.

  • Brenda did a great job, but Mike deserves a lot of credit here. Those notes on the backup vocals are NOT easy to hit. Great job per usual, Mike.

  • More Brenda! Your ok too Mike. But, more Brenda

  • Oh my gosh this girl has an amazing voice and you guys have a PERFECT melody!!!!!

  • Hahaha, I thought for like 30 seconds into the harmony that you guys had cheated and prerecorded it! Incredible, man!

  • Goosebumps at 0:41 anyone?

  • @mikemassedotcom Where do we make requests?

  • This is totally, and permanently, on my favorites list! Thanks Mike and Jeff for these performances. I wish I could shake you guys' hands some time:)

  • how come they can the song exactly the way it sounds!!?? or better??? how ?

  • I think I've found my new favorite song ...

  • play MUSE please..

  • Mike,I never comment but I'm compelled. I hope U really know how much joy (a word I never use) and happiness U bring to people. Your taste in acoustic music is exactly mine.I too play guitar (35 years) but can't sing to save my life, thus sit at home on Friday nights and jam along w/you while U sing for me and Jeff plays my bass, and we have guest musicians and singers like Brenda visit from time to time, while my friends and loved ones watch.It's the most fun a guy can have (almost). Thank you!

  • Wow!

  • With Brenda's talents, have you considered covering 10,000 Maniacs?

  • Come on Mike! I have to go to sleep, but i just cant stop watching more of your video's

  • Love this!  Subscribed.

  • What everyone is saying is the total truth. Your covers are better than the originals. After a few back-to-back listens, it becomes obvious.

  • This is absolutely better than the original!!!

  • this is actually starting to get really annoying. every time i watch one of your videos.. all i can say is WOW! lol..... i cant kinda find anything else to say!

  • i Have a request, please please please sing a Rush song ! Your choice

  • @Ishimora How about "Time Stand Still" so there's a part for me! ~Brenda

  • @brendahazeldale lol, sure! I actually covered that with a band back in high school--but I didn't have to play the guitar part, so we'll see.... FYI, Jeff and I just rehearsed "Limelight" for the first time this weekend. :)

  • Simply amazing!

    

  • i would love to come to the pizzeria and do a duet with you ! i Love to look at Jeff get down !

  • Excelente os seus covers! Parabéns!

  • Hands down the BEST cover of the song Linger on youtube. Your harmony work together is something else man!

  • debe ser muy mala la pizzería esa, o la gente de Utah muy fome, no me explico como no aplauden con más ganas tremendos talentos...

  • I am floored by how good this is. Your vocals are soooo good I though you were singing to a backing track from the original. I loved the original, but this is just ....wow.  Going to go and get that guitar synth you are using right away, it sounds awesome.

  • We want more Brenda, she's awesome

  • That was dam good guys.....wow

  • I'm sure enough people have said it... but it's finally time... time to get the fuck out of the pizzeria!

  • Hey, how do you sing in harmony without getting distracted by the other singer? Do you just practice by yourself, or what?

  • Dam Mike.....I'm still floored. Great group of friends who help you out as well.

  • Need to come to england dude, specifically Hull1 ;)

  • Well! Christmas is tomorrow and I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas Mr Masse and Co!

    I found your videos this year and this video along with other videos have been brutally refreshed/visited by myself *many, many* times over the year! Linger, 74' 75', The Scientist!!! Thank you!!!

    Have a wonderful holiday ♥

  • Great version. The best I have seen on youtube. Brenda's vocals are purer and less breathy than Dolores' and Mike's harmonies are beautiful. I've favorited this and will be watching whenever I want a musical pickup. Thanks for posting.

  • Wow what a beautiful sound you all have!!! I LOVE IT!!!

  • Mike , I really Dig your music ,having said that , where can I hear more of Brenda ?? I'm mesmerized by her angelic voice !! PEACE JIM

  • Maybe this post will get though.

    This is really a recording studio with your friends walking by bye and ordering stuff right.

    The sound is just amazing.

    I have listened to this over and over

  • Fantastic - All the way from sunny England - Keep it up

  • To Montréal, vous êtes extraordinaire !! Realy, Realy Nice Music !!!

  • Great song and really well done! The whole gig rocked!

  • Beautiful, love your videos

  • Any other videos with Brenda in them?

  • Simply beautiful, Mike!  Well done!!

  • You guys are amazing. I get chills with every vocal performance. You guys really are deserving of a larger venue with a much more appreciative crowd. Please keep the songs coming. Good luck to all of you.

  • Love your videos..you guys are GREAT!!

  • Mr. Masse your always amazing but that Brenda gal has the voice of an angel!

  • very nice,i love it!

  • Mike you are a fantastic singer with a golden voice. Rock on my friend

  • wow! really love this band. smooth acoustic, clear sound, a blend soul and music. great job mike!

  • Brenda is hot :)

  • am I the only one that hates how lame people are in this place? that was absolutely amazing.. mike and jeff, you guys are ridiculously talented.. and this girl brenda is amazing too

  • amazing! in all of your video's. I can play pretty much everything that you've covered too! You both can sing, and Mr. Masse you have some talent my friend. i love all of your video's

  • @Musicmate93 Thanks. And in terms of the guitar parts, I don't do anything very noteworthy, so any average guitarist should be able to do what I do, and probably do it much better than I do. I consider myself more of a singer who accompanies himself, rather than a guitarist who sings. Not false modesty, just the reality.

  • @mikemassedotcom I respect that I definitely agree with what you've just said. You can sing very well my friend, you're spot on in all of your video's that i've seen. I like that very much. keep playing

  • @mikemassedotcom Mike - your timing is impeccable on the guitar. You're good enough to improvise as well by adding a few extra licks here and there with the same nuance you do with your voice. Would really add to your versions, too.

  • @mikemassedotcom says: "so any average guitarist should be able to do what I do, and probably do it much better than I do." I don't think so. You really think an average rythym guitarist can play with no [or so few they're not noticed] mistakes, keep in time [constant bpm] throughout the song [not get rushed] and sing at the same time? Even all the electronics you have can't hide a buzz'd note can it? I haven't heard you hit an unclear note yet. Kudos 2 Jeff "Fat Strings" Hall 4 keepin U in time

  • Simple but awesome cover with no frills. I want to hear you guys in Tokyo !

  • You guys are really good. Found you by accident on here and I don't know why in the you have not been "discovered" yet. Really awesome playing and vocals as well.

  • Espectacular cover,,, I want to visit Pie Pizzeria only for listen to you ¡¡¡

  • now i love Salt Lake City... Gratz from the south of Mexico!

  • Absolutely amazing cover. Perfect harmony and haunting melodies just like the original. Brenda has a great voice. Mike, I bet you and Brenda could do an awesome cover of Leather and Lace by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley. I can't wait for your next masterpiece.

  • Fantastic Performance from all three of you thanks for sharing......

  • Thank you for taking me back to my childhood. :D

  • dang Mike... u can sure hit the high notes... bravo

  • Omg mike ur vids just get better and better.have you heard of a uk artist ed sheeran? Id love to hear you cover one of his tunes called a team. I reckon you would do it serious justice. Kansas cover is my fav of yours! Amazing!!!

  • What sources do you have for finding the right guitar tabs for each song? Anyone you can mention?

    Your performances are absolutely brilliant

  • @davvenordin Mostly my ears, to be honest. I usually do a little googling to save me from retyping the lyrics, and to see if anyone has anything resembling the right chords. But a majority of the time, the chords are wrong. So you need to use your ears. Or eyes, in the case of YouTube. :)

  • @mikemassedotcom Oh okay, well, you seem to have the musical talent so I shouldn't be surprised. Will try to go see you guys when i move to US.

    By the way, have any of the featured artists given you kudos for any of "their" songs?

  • @mikemassedotcom any plans of sharing those tabs? Honestly, I would be willing to pay for them, and I'm pretty sure others would be as well !

  • very nice

  • Absolutely stunning

    i play guitar and.I have been doing covers and playing in wedding bands for 30 plus years so I truly admire the standard you have reached here.

    Mike. My heartfelt congratulations to you brother.Utterly professional.Apart from being technically perfect with your singing and playing,you always capture the soul of anything you do.I am in London but must travel to see you live and [if i may] may be meet and chat?. Can you post an upcoming gig list?

  • YOU ARE AMAZING. SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA AMIGO!!

  • Very best cover, Paulsmusik from German

  • Why doesn't this have more views?!?!? Her voice is beautiful and the harmonies and intro are amazing!

  • Mike, she sang beautifully, but I'm a sucker for good harmonies and DANG! that was great harmonies.

  • very good...I was going to quickly listen to just the beginning so I could get to your beegees song..but it was so nice it was the end of the song before I knew it...

  • I would like to find the two people who put the dislike on this and take them in the back alley and make their pain linger while Mike plays.....

    Enough said.....severe talent you possess.....

  • I love you guys so much! Love all of my mp3s!!!

  • keep doing what you love!

  • Really enjoy your rendition of this Mike and co, as previously stated harmonies are really fantastic. I love this particular type of music and wish i could be there to watch you perform live. Best regards from Scotland

  • harmonies are superb

  • I love Brenda!

  • So great!

  • come to Mexico city guys, I promes that you'll crowd the plase where you show up

  • You guys pulled that off brilliantly. Great vocals and instruments.

  • Come to Brasil, Man!

  • i was in california for 3 months last winter, and i still feel sad as hell for not travelling to utah to eat a pizza and see you guys live. cant do anything from argentina now :(. EXCELLENT cover btw... as always.

  • Amazing singing and music.. I really have so many memories to this song and after hearing this version it only made everything even clearer.. I hope you will post more vids with Brenda.. you really sound good together..

    Btw.. i hear a synth playing along in the song but i dont see any credits. Is that part pre-recorded ?

    Thank you

    Akin - Denmark

  • @Akinseak I'm using a GR-20 guitar synth, so the synth sound is playing the same notes as the guitar, just converter to midi. If you look carefully, you can see the pickup attached to my acoustic.

  • I have to go to Salt Lake City from Australia to see you guys.

  • @outmodedtrash You wouldn't be the first! :)

  • @mikemassedotcom what about from ISRAEL? IM SO COMING TO WATCH U GUYS!

  • You guys are awesome!!!

  • LOVE your music! Please come to the East Coast and serenade my eardrums

  • fair doooes mike thats quite some vocal range you have!

  • Loved this one, as all the other ones :) I have one question, what guitar synthesizer and pickup are you using?

  • @StriboMusic Roland GR-20 with GK-3.

  • I think you guys are amazing,been checking out your channel,super cool.This song is wicked,Love Brenda's voice on this one and the harmonies are giving me chill's,thank you very much!!!!

  • how could anyone send nastiness with your sound??? OMG You Guys So ROCK!!!

  • i like how you can approve the comments, it prevents arguments from the haters and your fans. The haters just go on youtube to seek attention, and your doing a great job preventing that...

    did i mention your covers are amazing as well

  • Wonderful!!!

  • Added to my favorites!

  • Love it! Great job!

  • You guys do good work! Amazing, why at this pizzeria? I See alot of your videos here.

  • do zombie!!!! plsss!!

  • Great job as always!

  • I can't understand how there is only 3600 views on this song. Her voice is unbelievable.

  • Mike! What are you gonna play on Ellen's show?

  • Ahhh brings back memories of high school. Keep up the great work.

  • I think when you get some people with an agenda who insist on being negative towards you, you need to take it as a positive. There are people in the world who don't like seeing talent as it makes them feel inferior. The music, vocals and production are always top notch, so keep them coming mike!

  • I think you got a GREAT voice. By the way, im from Denmark, and i think about going to U.S.A for a holiday, and get into the Pizza bar, just to hear you live! You are awesome man! Great job!

  • Absolutely fabulous. Brenda has such a great voice. You guys really do stand out from the crowd on YouTube. Quality!

  • Music... Gives you 2 thumbs up Mike--

  • Has Ellen called you yet to be on her show? You all are better then anyone she has had on there by a mile.

  • Fantastic! Another great cover. Wish you were touring to Australia!

  • You guys are awesome if I'm ever near the pizza play will defiantly come see you

  • A really good job !

    Continue to post your fantastic covers !

  • Love this song, excellent cover. :O)

  • looks like there is one justin bieber fan .

  • @ssmithlprt For whatever reason, there are a few people that dislike what I do, and refuse to let it go. They've sent me hateful personal messages and posted nasty comments, which is why I had to switch to pre-approving all comments, rather than going through and cleaning up their garbage every day. So at least a handful of the dislikes are predictable, at this point.

  • @mikemassedotcom I'm glad you don't listen to them, I seriously can't understand why anyone could dislike this, I've never heard a single one of your videos and disliked it, you and Jeff (and brenda in this case) have so much talent

  • @mikemassedotcom I just cant understand that. You are ridiculously talented. This cover is better than the original. Its sound quality is excellent. There is nothing wrong with it. I think it might just be that some people think its funny to go around and dislike things done by people with real talent. If you didnt live so bloody far away from where I live I would drive down just for a piece of pizza and to listen to a couple of songs. Keep it up Mike. You have made it. We love your music.

  • @mikemassedotcom hey there! i am a big fan and i really appreciate your work. but that pre-approving thing... i don't know. i think it's part of the game if you put yourself on youtube. there will always be haters for whatever reason. i dislike them as much as the next guy who is truly interested in your work, but i think as an artist you have (to learn) to live with criticism instead of suppressing it.

  • @HerrJoehnke Well, every comment ends up getting read by me, whether I "approve" it or not, so I'm certainly still subject to the criticism. And if someone posts a critical comment that isn't abusive, rude, etc., I'll still obviously approve it. The one exception: not gonna let too many more "Louis C.K." jokes through--I think we've covered that enough by now!

  • @mikemassedotcom They don't have equal talent...therefore...they are haters. I have been a musician all of my life and wish I made half the sound you and Jeff do! Brenda has an angelic voice!!! Keep doing what you do!

  • @mikemassedotcom maybe it's that one guy who just wants to eat his pizza in peace and quiet. Look for a grumpy looking guy in a corner next time you play.  Bet you $10 it's him.

  • @mikemassedotcom hey man.... haters gonna hate, you can't let it "linger"

  • @mikemassedotcom Are there actually people who hate what u do? how can anyone hate any video you post? wow

  • Fantastic harmonies! Cool!

  • I really did not expect to like this. It was great (as always).

  • Brenda has a sexy voice. Just sayin.

  • I always love you guys' covers, you do such a great job, and her voice is perfect for this song and she fits in well.

  • Her voice is perfect!

  • Que bonito!!!

  • Was just practising and arranging an acoustic version of this song with my kids and found your awesome version here. You guys are amazing.

  • Just Amazing!
