DEAR GOD by "DEMON BOY"[xtc tribute] released 2009

[Jenngem]

good cover. :)

[teamtalon1967]

Decent cover. Not XTC but pretty good.



[ThePaLaDiP]

Pretty fucking cool if you ask me. Fuck you guys who say this is a shit cover. It's a new take on the song sure, if you don't like it, shove your opinions up your arsehole. That is if they'll fit with your heads in the way.

[iiismooo]

this has to be a joke, right? cus its hilarious

[Albinnaab]

Im a HUGE fan of the original. But this is kinda cool.

[Roachtrix]

I've listened to both versions. I like this one better

[Roachtrix]

HEY could you do me a huge favor Stop being a total jerk and just enjoy the music? He's one of my friends

[Rattchen]

The original version is so much better. It seems to me as though this guy is even

singing out of tune. The original artist's vocals are way better@ noadmiration, I couldn't agree with you more. This song has no soul. It's just a publicity stunt. The version by XTC actually stood for something and this one, in my view, stands for nothing.

[DarkAngelWings101]

I wonder what 2011 and the years to come will bring lol :) Audiences This video is most popular with: Gender and Age Male 45-54 Male 35-44 Female 45-54 Recording date & location May 5, 2009

[JavelBleach]

Very cheapo & adolescent, with the white face paint & the little toy black wings.

But a great song is a great song & I wouldn't stop anyone playing it..

[LeatherCladVegan]

It sounds better at 1.5x speed, heh

.

[MrMephie]

His wings are too small, they need to be bigger!

[h00lzf00lz]

is this serious?

[noadmiration]

Sorry guys. I'm not in a band and my opinion shouldn't really matter to the folks who do all the hard work to learn interments and make all the sacrifices required to become famous. But this isn't very good... it misses the angst and subtext of the original and turns it into something that seems packaged.

It's soulless.

[driverain2]

and all the kings make up and hair dye couldn't put dear god back together again. nasty noise..............

[MrOutPsycho]

I personally prefer yo other songs then this cover, nice video shoot though

But mostly i don't like metalheads at all, but this cover is good. keep more coming

[janemgant]

That is just awful. Absolutely love the original. What were they thinking?

[RefereeDahmer]

If the chords were the same then it wouldn't be DB's version, now would it?

[GodisTruthseekTruth]

The message of God has been consistent and clear, & it is not hard to understand.

The illness and tragedy on this planet can be summed up with one word: sin.

We see it in the disregard.

Disregard of God.

Disregard of others.

Disregard of the planet.

The problems we see in this world are not a reflection of God, but of our disregard.

If we followed the gospel of Jesus Christ, heaven would be here already.

If you really care about this world, repent of sins, study the gospel of Christ & go help.

[chuletocosme]

dear god why you let me see this?

[Homiebalonie]

oh my.. i dont like change..

[67landing]

This song kicks ass!!

[67landing]

I think this is super fucking cool!!! Fuck all the bad comments! You guys don't know shit!! Stick to your classic fucking rock!!! This video rocks and kicks ass!

[MsAnarcha]

I could leave a comment saying, "This sucks", but Ive decided to explain myself.

I think you guys didn't really make the song your own and that's where it went wrong. Its pretty much just a bit heavier version of the original song, and it doesn't work especially with the singers voice. All great covers give a new, different twist to a song, while still maintaining the same spirit as the original. Good luck with your band.

[LaureenoLuv]

it kinda sounds like he's trying too hard to sing like Billy Corgan. The guitar solo was pretty good though..though it looked like he grabbed his balls at 2:34

[maciesnipples]

Im so mad i could kill an infant.

[happy13worker]

This version is a slap in the face to XTC. Complete and utter crap. I am so mad right now. I have always loved this song and now I want to scream.

[CensiLuvsEmoRainbows]

Not to be rude, but why do metal bands always try to recreate a great 80's song?

And fail?

This comes from a 15 year old, too. :/

[DEMONBOYBAND]

@CensiLuvsEmoRainbows To get attention good or bad its all publicity...we got you here:) Come by anytime we respect all "Real" opinions and comments my friend:)... D.B * go check out our "Dead Tramp Super Model" video.

[XLightswornknightX]

@DEMONBOYBAND well i actually thought the same the first time but the more i listen to the version of the song i am getting more custom to it but i get why a cemetery i dont get that

[BlakeLBoggs]

@DEMONBOYBAND

Holy shit a band who doesn't freak out from mass disapproval... gasp.

[amsterdamave]

@CensiLuvsEmoRainbows ITS CALLED HORROR ROCK! NOT METAL. BUT YOU ARE ENTITALED TO YOUR OPINION. I PERSONALLY LIKE THIS VERSION!

[jimdidr]

@CensiLuvsEmoRainbows Not all music suits all people, your taste will change and it may never include this but if you don't know something its just not for you.

Also the message is often more important.

[Roachtrix]

@CensiLuvsEmoRainbows Hey I love demon boy! Just because he's a new artist doesn't mean anything! I bet when I'm famous you'll dis me too. Have some respect

[Kudiz]

@CensiLuvsEmoRainbows hipster faggot, noone cares of your age

[demonhuntevo]

lol

[FreakingVermillion]

jezus christ..

[gojiguyver3]

Wow so much hatred here XD well I will say that I do prefer the original, but this is a very decent cover, I like the imagery even though your wings did give me a giggle, but that graveyard looked awesome.

[BarthelemyLesaint]

It's always funny to watch a metal version after the original one !

[MultiJedimaster]

dont tell me you believe in satan

[DEMONBOYBAND]

@MultiJedimaster .. lol NO! This is not a song about god or satan.. it just raises the question of a god.. if you listen to the words it says WE (humans) created god and the devil. It asks if there is a god why does he let so much despair happen in the world.

[MultiJedimaster]

@DEMONBOYBAND no i heard this song b4 its by XTC but this band is just ughh nasty n iknow wat XTC ment

[DEMONBOYBAND]

@MultiJedimaster Come back again anytime :) I am sure we can make your skin crawl.. Thank you for the response:)

[stutzand21]

@DEMONBOYBAND ...this song is about god being a creation by humans. meaning he isn not real....dont cover a song unless you truly know what its about....not to be rude, but really, youll be able to convey so much more emotion and meaning

[DEMONBOYBAND]

@stutzand21 Yes, if you go back and look that is exactly what i have been writing back to the individuals who think this is a song that denies god's existence or the people that think it is a devil worshiping song.. right inside the song it says" did you make mankind after WE made you".. to be honest with you.. the only reason i did this song was when i launched the Demon Boy product we needed a controversial song to grab attention..it worked! we knew we would have lots of negativity.

[DEMONBOYBAND]

@stutzand21 This was a gimmick and makes me laugh at how many people are taking this so seriously.. Manson ,Alice Cooper,kiss and many other came out the same way.. its a Kick in the Ass.. what we call " An Attention Getter" nothing more: I would rather you go check out our video " DEAD TRAMP SUPER MODEL" That is what Demon Boy is like as a band now.. this Dear God Video is nearly 3 years old and people speak of it as if we just put it out.. Thank you for your comments.come again.

[hoikevinhoi]

actually its a good song

[ronoa08]

I think this is the best video I have ever seen thanks for making this.

[bloodivamp49]

Seeing Demon-Boy Rocky And 13 Pagan Holiday Tomorrow Nighjt At Big Eds Here In Ohio.... Im Stoked...

[cronicpicklez]

ouch...

[TheAlxxHydeShow]

I actually liked it. I like your guy's sound. You remind me of the black metal/shock rock scene in the 80's. I would love to work with you guys. :D

[nezumichat]

õ_O i donno. i was thinking this song would be really sweet sounding on ukulele. and then i found this....

[mechasonicvideo]

The gothic look is super-cool. But the wings are super-kitsch.

[krl2136]

Don't get me wrong, by NO means was I being negative. I, as a musician myself, have realize that if we EVER stop striving for self improvement or perfection, we'll never get to where we want. I'm COMPLETELY down for other striving musicians. So with that being said, Rock On, dudes!

[DEMONBOYBAND]

@krl2136 Thank you my friend! We appreciate feedback from knowledgeable artists! We believe as you do!~ Rock on and Rock Hard my dark friend! .. D.B

[krl2136]

I can appreciate anyone doin' what they can to hit the limelight. Don't ever stop striving for improvement and you'll make it eventually, dude. Not too keen on this choice of cover, but to each his own. Rock on.

[Pandaskypirate47]

Rippin solo Demons a strange one

[fuckoffndie]

Interesting version the vocals are lacking something?

[r1ddl3y]

ok i liked how you guys progressively slowed down the last part of the song. it worked well. and im a metal head. but honestly, the original version was scarier than this. heavier than this. we expect someone wearing black wings to sing a song like this. someone wearing short hair and glasses talking to god like a piece of trash is MUCH more meaningful. just sayin.

[detroitthebaptist]

2 Peter 2:12-14 "But these, like brute beast made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions.., having eyes full of adultery and cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls.They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children."

[SydbarF]

I think its a fine version of the song...all the anger...great presentation...dont mind my spelling...im drunk and going to bath...not a fan of this kind of music..but the guy/band went to my channel and posted a comment....I respect the Hell out of that...

Take off the paint..lets shoot some guns...play some guitars...AND HAVE FUN!!!

[lordnever1]

Holy Shit, This is as Badass as it gets, got a new favorite!

[alianchild]

Good rendition. I liked it.

[SydbarF]

I think you missed the point ...you got the anger right...God is not the cause and the misery of mans life...he does it himself

[alianchild]

@SydbarF There is no god you fuckwit. Thats the object of the song.

[muslimmetalman]

@alianchild nope. they're just angry bitches lol

[jason6864]

I'm in!!!!!

[Patyneckaaa]

awesome hair :D

[anythingnew]

He is some kind of darkness?

[evalunaoo1]

that was cool

[Geral705]

que botana

[xtc091157]

Somewhere Andy Partridge is lining up a lawsuit...

[Patrickcb22]

is this a joke version of the song?

[DEMONBOYBAND]

@Patrickcb22 if you want it to be.. just keep coming back for more!

[Urudrim]

a great song... ruined.

[DEMONBOYBAND]

@Urudrim Thank you! Come by anytime! Tell your friends!

[pdlost991]

@Urudrim

I don't know, i mean is it XTC, hell no but its interesting. I think remakes that are similar to the original are boring so this isn't really boring, not really good but not boring.

[pdlost991]

@Urudrim

I don't know, i mean is it XTC, l no but its interesting. I think remakes that are similar to the original are boring so this isn't really boring, not really good but not boring.

[stephanee93]

Urudrim if you want to be rude don't come on this page he did amazing on this.

[LiamMacBone]

#2 sounds reasonable enough(cough...whatever)....bu­t in response to #1 , It sounds more like someone got "close" on the chord progression rather than re writing it to sound heavier. I HAVE checked out more of your stuff though - not bad . Rock on, Demon Boy

[LiamMacBone]

You show good taste in music by covering an XTC tune. They've written a lot of great songs so if you cover any of them, at least get the chord progression right as well as the lyrics.Then I see your response to a question which read " now your getting it... or are you? you need to think about what i am singing.. i am not saying there is no god.. really listen.. and you will get the message.. your intelligence will make you see the answer" YOU aren't saying ANYTHING - YOU didn't write the song

[DEMONBOYBAND]

@LiamMacBone well thanks for your opinion,,#1 It is MY rendition of the song in order to make it heavier than the original I re wrote the chord progression intentionally. #2 in MY response to that comment it was actually ME singing so i believe i was grammatically correct. I have posted your comment as you are correct in voicing your opinion and i respect it, Thank You.. D.B ,come by anytime.

[m20p6]

@LiamMacBone Lighten up. XTC can hold their own.

[freakingscared1]

"who sings this song"....'xtc'...." keep it that way"

[DEMONBOYBAND]

@freakingscared1 Thankyou.. Come again! Tell your friends!

[freakingscared1]

@DEMONBOYBAND will do

[hokeypanty]

[IIIUNDEADIII]

How can anyone take you seriously with those dance moves at 2:13 and with the wings on?

[DEMONBOYBAND]

@IIIUNDEADIII I Dont even take myself seriously. Any one that does take all this serious has issues. Its an act people.. just an act. Get over it. I never said you had to like it, i am sure you all hate alot of shit, big deal, get a life, NUff Said!~..D.B

[IIIUNDEADIII]

@DEMONBOYBAND Okay, but tell me this, why are the chords wrong...?

[DEMONBOYBAND]

Some of you need to be open to different interpretation of music. All comments are appreciated but if you leave one that is just spiteful and ridiculous you will not get posted.

[gothicandmetalamvs66]

simply amazing!!!

[gothtart13]

[dontbedifficult1]

[Hellscreamer333]

[Zenex666]

[beadhead111]

[AylaJoJo]

Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

Matthew 13

49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

Praise God for these truths, and praise God for anyone's heart that sees the light-Amen

The end of you guys is coming With Jesus.

THEN WE WILL SEE "YOU" IN HELL!!

[ChristianArmorOfGod]

Yes you are correct - IF I do die before Jesus Returns for setting up his kingdome and completely destroying YOURS here, then I will Go to Hell. It's not who Goes there, everyone go there, the JUST and the WICKED, but in the resurrection some are sent to the SECOND DEATH which destroys ALL, and there is where YOU will kindly step in line to do Gods WILL and be destroyed into fire... You will be there, nice to have seen another one of the demons face who will be destroyed.

[jowlls]

go fight your fight somewhere else, you cant save everyone, choose those who mean something to you, or are they all sick of your thumping that you choose to stalk art, cause if thats the case you r fighting a losing battle, HAIL DEMON BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

Not trying to "SAVE" you, I am an experienced SATAN slayer, and have been destroying your illusions for quite some time little BOY.

@ChristianArmorOfGod

And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
