The Phantom of the Opera (Me First and the Gimme Gimmes)

[Laura103193]

I like the idea of a rock version of this song, but it would be a whole lot better if they got a woman to sing the woman parts.

[dragonking2343]

probably would have been better if you had a girl sing the girl parts

[AgainstTheGrain2021]

Awsome song to begin with but as always, me first does it better.

[theserpentsmiles]

And though you turn from me...and like emo rock...

[gajopv1]

I really don't like Phantom of the Opera at all. But this is pretty cool! I'm showing this to my PotO fan sister!

[brunotchesko]

:D

[zippomage]

hrm....liked the music, but this is a duet, and really does require a feminine voice to sing at least part of it.

[XxbellatragediaxX]

Holy jesus. This is amazing.

[AgentWTF800]

Paw told me about this about a week ago but i never got a round to actually listening to it for myself untill about yesterday XD

[TheZombienommer]

im cought in this bizaar confusing world where me first and the phantom of the opera are at die hard war. its not good, not bad. just confusing XD

[Ophileagoesforaswim]

Thank you paw for me looking this up.

[moonblossom15]

That was amazing! Thank you Paw for letting me know about this sweet cover!

[superdhebz]

eargasm.

[PINKxACT]

This is amazing!=D I only wish it was longer!

[burden4k]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[JuEXxXBuG]

Luv ir

[ThaSamovich]

Best cover ever

[sassy1506]

I liked the original, but this is 100 times better.

[AstridElphieLovegood]

I love this band.

[Jerms702]

0:15 Fionna in Shamless... so fuckin hot

[deatheateregg]

Ah, nostalgia.

This was the first version of POTO I ever heard. Growing up in a punk rock family is awesome.

[Crown0child]

@MyRosaryRomance

Or is it the other way around seeing how this came out in 07...P:

[teedammit]

I say the Gimmes should do an all Andrew Lloyd Webber album.

[SHDrakeRedcrest]

@teedammit

Oh my God, YES.

[dizzyisme]

i'm shitting bricks right now this is so good. 

[ViolentVioletMP5]

i think i just think my ears just had a orgasm

[djpakre]

@ViolentVioletMP5 Did you manage to clean up okay?

[w00zyl00]

@ViolentVioletMP5  eargasm ?

[MyRosaryRomance]

DUDE! Beginning of the song totally sounded like Na na na na by My Chemical Romance

[ghandisandal]

@MyRosaryRomance //////////just what i thought!

[winnetouch]

@MyRosaryRomance It's possible. The Gimme Gimmes are known to borrow intros from a lot of well known songs. You've got a friend uses the same intro as blitz krieg bop of the ramones for instance.

[shirorokemisuto]

O: oh my god...

I can play along with my french horn....

AWESOME!!!!!! :D

[KrussYamasaki]

Its so Bad its GOOD

:D

[sangkiso]

fuck you.....i love me first n the gimme gimmes.....ever.....

[deathead666]

hell fuck yeah!!!!!!

[xxkewldudexx]

"Sing once again with me our strange duet..." Strange is the understatement of the century. Rock on!!

[MailleQueen]

way better than the lacrimosa cover,but i still prefer what nightwish did with it.

[maudibjr]

I think the female voice is Karina from Dance Hall Crashers

[PINKxACT]

I love this version as much as the original. It would be cool if they did a punk version of the movie=D

[JONZEF]

me first is the best

[testrider78]

@metroSTATION72 No one said anything about them being Christians. We are talking about whether you like the song or not...

[3554280]

Lol - Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies covers rock!

[cameo7]

the beginning is sooo good



[p4n0sgr]

i believe they just executed the song

0/5

[wheresuritethumb]

@p4n0sgr no.... just no. they made it listenable.

[p4n0sgr]

@wheresuritethumb ok... whatever

i just don't like it ... personal opinion :)

[hartmut5000]

thats so punkrock!!

[pdxplm]

This ROCKS!!!! Love Me First and The Gimme Gimmes

[yellowdog12]

thumbs up if you love ska

[javi9330]

this is shit. he cant even hit most of the higher notes

[beatensenseless902]

@javi9330 why bother comment if you're hater? hater tot

[DarqueMyth]

They're really talented... but I just can't enjoy this. I love a good rock song as well as the next person, but I'm too much of a Phantom fan to enjoy this. Am I a bad person? :(

[TheMasonFTW]

@DarqueMyth yes you are

[Crazytrainrocker]

i love the masquerade clip in the intro it fits so well

[girlsxred]

this is completely deffening, i feel like my ears explode with joy

[girlsxred]

this is AMAZING! you should have sang for Christine!

[MrTheSato]

Oh Damn! Wish I was there was a punk rock version of the musical...over in just 15 minutes hihi

[jimmybobjesus]

wtf

[DarkCarnivalRadio]

cause blink 182 sucks to nofx

[HardbeatAcolyte]

Very nice cover :P

[dayglo98]

i'm learning to sing and play this song on guitar right now ! got the guitar down and yes the female back vocals make for awesome harmonies

[flingflong001]

never heard this one before...what album is it on? or is it a b side or something?

[LeeValentine001]

Hahahaha Blink 182? Are you kidding me it sounds nothing like them! They sound closer to NoFX than Blink 182 and even that's a fairly huge difference.

[Brennan26Bartolacci1]

@LeeValentine001  It sounds closer to NoFX because it's the same singer. Me First And The Gimme Gimmes is a collection of artists from other punk bands who come together to do these songs every once in a while. But, there is nobody from Blink-182 in it.

[500386]

@Brennan26Bartolacci1 actually it is not the same singer. fat mike only plays bass but doesn't sing at all.

[Brennan26Bartolacci1]

@500386 Oh, alrighty. I knew one of them was from NoFX, couldn't remember which. Thanks.

[ThatsBitch3n]

'Punk you say? MUST be Blink 182." goddamnit...

[MrWhiteH0rsE]

blink 182

[cornixregina]

@MrWhiteH0rsE I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was Blink 182

[tumbleweedjoe]

Awesome. Just awesome.

[cornixregina]

well it sounds exactly the same as blink 182...

[cornixregina]

that's Blink 182

[jaynosch84]

@cornixregina idiot!!!!! blink sucks....thats MFATGG

[evilmonkeymonster]

@cornixregina it s not blink, i have the cd, although it sounds a lot like them

[PunkDirector86]

@cornixregina Blink 182? What? Are you dumb? Dude can't you tell the difference between singers? That dosen't sound anything like Tom DeLonge

[Jamestothequick]

sounds so good!

[theblackwidow98]

i am ur number one fan, i know all ur guyses songs

[ddrmaniafreak]

this is the best cover of this song ever made. so awesome. blink 182's version is pretty good too

[testrider78]

Crap, all crap. Nightwish pwned this song...

[beatensenseless902]

@testrider78 hater, why bother comment?

[ShitGoos]

sweet

[lilnekocat]

OH MY GAWD!!! I can't get over how hot he is! An amazing voice, great acting, the spot on performance of the Phantom and all other roles he's played (and will play)what more could you ask for? <\3

[HugeRedChops]

YES!!!

[Abbeyabu]

this gives me chills. it's excellent!!

i learned this song on the piano in 5th grade, but this would have been so much cooler to learn.

[ETownPunx]

I want to know who the female singer is..

[kpo107420]

Her name is Karina Denike

[flowk182]

sounds great. i had to listen to the original one back in school over and over again...this is so fresh

[SephurMcGoul]

I love the Female voice they have in the background.  It just adds that extra touch.

[spaceshipone333]

@SephurMcGoul are you sure that's not a guy singing in falsetto?

[SephurMcGoul]

@spaceshipone333 No. No I am not. It doesn't sound like it, but I could be wrong. Either way, it sounds like a woman. It doesn't sound as stressed as falsetto. Has a womanly timbre.

[spaceshipone333]

@SephurMcGoul After listening to it again, especially the end i'm not really sure. It could go either way.

[SephurMcGoul]

@spaceshipone333 I feel it's a safe bet to say that the opratic singing at the VERY end is a woman. Who knows about the earlier parts, though? It'd take someone in the know to tell us. I still say it sounds like a woman's voice. To reiterate, it doesn't sound as stressed as a man hitting those notes.

[soundboy3]

@SephurMcGoul sounds like the same voice from NOFX's 'Lori Meyers'

[whalelover1231]

i like it but i do think the slower version is better but still pretty cool!

[Apollosmilegirl]

Yes, Me First is about as far away from Metalica as you could possibly get.

[SamYeoman]

yes, you are wrong.

[nimic89]

i like it:X

[PutrescentSoul]

LOL

[freakinthefoghell]

luv it!!!

[AlyAlyOxenFree9]

I love phantom of the opera, and I LOVE this cover!!

[Pixux]

anyone has the tab for this song? :D

[ZachsGirl4lyfe]

oh oh but I love the dissonance on "there"

[ZachsGirl4lyfe]

...I don't like it....

but I'm picky with my Phantom remakes

no dissing of the band at all cuz it's a killer band

[momokokochuchuchu]

@ZachsGirl4lyfe

i dont really like it that much either....

but a version of this song that i did like is not a cover... but u should check it out

it is sung by vocaloids....

[wierdaljunior2]

@momokokochuchuchu if its not the original singer and band, it is a cover, so it is same music but its still a cover

[momokokochuchuchu]

..........?! yea i kno

im trying to figure out why i wrote not a cover...?

hmmm

lol, i wrote this comment a while ago, i wonder what i was thinking when i wrote that....

[grimreaper11114]

they fucked this up nightwish's is SO much better

[beatensenseless902]

@grimreapeist why didn't you listen to that one?

[migueldlx]

en esta version me encanta chida la rola

[darkitechtalf]

Que asco!!!!, lo único que tiene de épico es la forma en que pasan a chingar una canción. Es todo lo que voy a escribir porque justo ahora voy a vomitar.

[godsavethequeen33333]

epic

[beatensenseless902]

@Derricote don't listen to it if u hateit chrischan!

[Derricote]

@beatensenseless902

firstly what the fuck is up with your spelling, secondly i hate christians and they should all be raped especially you but with a splintered balsa wood dildo.

Anyways that has nothing to do with this, the cover simply sucks.

[beatensenseless902]

@Derricote i was referring to the troll/fuckup/webcomic maker known around the interwebs as chrischan. the guy is so much of a dickhead racist/sexist/homophobe that his name, i believe can be used as an insult, not that i'm calling you any of those things, aside from dickhead! look up chrischan on youtube, he's so fucking stupid! still, why did you watch the video if you didn't like it?

[beatensenseless902]

@Derricote F**K off!

[winnetouch]

@Derricote Lol. Now I know why I am a christian. To distance myself from stupid sacks of uselessness like you :P

[idunno000lover]

haha i love the nightwish version. this is really good, but id never in a milion years ever think of hearing it on the movie! haha i liek the movie one 1000000x better tho. ;]]

[PurCymraeg]

i love this version of this song, it's awesome lol

[VorpalTheRabbit]

And yet they still have a female to help sing harmony.

[werewolfdevil]

it's a good try, but honestly i think they didn't get the real feel of the song. besides the fact that it is a duet, they left out the dark mystery, the romance, the black fairy tale of it. Phantom of the Opera just doesn't work punk

[theshrabster]

who the fuck cares that's what they do to every song they cover; that's kinda the point of a cover, not to reproduce but to modify. Well done too

[ThatBrittany]

That's why they cover songs like this. That was the point... it's not supposed to work.

[hel000000]

@werewolfdevil

yeah, but do notice this song got a whole new kind of style :P

[werewolfdevil]

yes, i did notice that, and i said it was a good try, but the style just doesn't work for me. in my mind, it's not phantom

[keukpa]

Have you heard the Nightwish version??

FANTASTIC!

[33incharmsarehot]

@werewolfdevil shut your fucking face faggot

[tomkidd123456789]

This song is awesome when the sing it live !
