Keane - Under Pressure ( Cover from Queen/David Bowie )

[54Offwall]

too bad this is the bass line from "Ice Ice Baby", should have played queens verson without the extra note thrown it.

[XpLicT007]

OG is muchhh muchhh better then this.......Checkout Foo Fighters Cover..Taylor did a good job..........

[arispooky51307]

CANT.STOP.PRESSING.REPLAY.

[dragonkhanrider]

@arispooky51307 Then, you are UNDER PRESSING. I know the exit door, thanks.

[TheSlevinCalevra]

Damn, that's a great cover.

[b8wsa]

Great song, great cover by a great band, 3 greats for me which is why it's my song for today!!

[ViruneeV]

Omg, for a Queen cover (which usually is a hard thing to pull off), this is AMAZING!!!

[Bethywethy6]

This didnt do it for me, but it's far better than Ice Ice Baby.

[ssanyi48]

Queen+Tom Chaplin Tour 2012 please

[keaneing]

@ssanyi48 I don't think that's possible... Keane will be releasing their fourth album in 2012 and I guess they'll have a lot of work with promotion + touring. I'd love to see that happen, though.

[toshihitsu]

I'm just a kid, and this (and the original) put me to tears T_T

[DrumsMakesNoise]

Que increible loco igual af Fredie!!

[jocolate1]

ME HA ENCANTADO!

[oli2169]

me enkanta

[riedthekid]

under kanebo kering !!!!

[prescher69]

<----the story of my life lol.  My last name is PRESCHER pronounced pressure

[DowneyAdmirer]

The beginning especially sounds like Freddie. Well done, Keane. Seriously.

[LucyLAL100]

This man can sing every song in the world and all of them are gonna be great.

He can sing anything :D

[Wrkoutguy08]

Easily the best cover of this song.

[cvecchiarelli1]

Gran bella cover. Un omaggio fatto con grande rispetto e passione.

Freddie è Freddie. Punto e basta.

Detto questo, ho sempre pensato, dal primo giorno che ho ascoltato i bellissimi pezzi dei Keane, che la voce di Tom Chaplin fosse l'unica che potesse lontanamente competere, per purezza e potenza, con quella di Freddie Mercury.

[scorpionsguns1]

no le queda la cancion se oye mejor por david bowie o por freddy mercury

[doofus0123]

yeah, this is also excellent! (just hit me "Keane"...."Queen"....)

[VankoCons]

waaaaay better than the MCR cover, so much. This is actually the first cover of Under Pressure that I like.

And the "why" part, amazing.

[cloama]

That was a pretty amazing cover. Perfect for his range. Pretty amazing. I already said that, didn't I? wow.

[DonnatellaLauren]

wwooh amazing! ... great cover...

good for keane... queen is the best of music...

[oskikapo]

really sings like freddy.

[nanetta95XD]

@oskikapo Freddie ;)

[steinover]

@oskikapo & David Bowie ;)

[IvanAdamska]

um that bass is Ice Ice Baby.. it's dun dun dun dun dun dun not dun dun dun dun dun dun dun

[laxstar3333]

Erm guess which song Ice Ice Baby stole the riff from?

[IvanAdamska]

I know that but Keane is using Vanilla Ice's version instead of Queen's version, ither way they did one hell of a job and i think Freddie would be happy at the least.

[Isilmewen]

@IvanAdamska

Actually, Vanilla Ice used the original bass line from Queen's song 'Under Pressure' (wich was released 9 years before) and only years later paid Bowie and Mercury for the credit....

[michigangirl1994]

and the singer does a good job on the high note. nobody ever tries to hit that note. good job

[IvanAdamska]

not true My Chemical Romance and The Used tried to go to a high pitch but they would never be able to pull it off, another person who did it well was David Bowie's lead guitarist.

[michigangirl1994]

not bad at all. not queen, but who is?

[LucyLAL100]

@michigangirl1994 Keane. The singer is Tom Chaplin.

[alarmingsilence]

This is a decent cover, especially compared to MCR/The Used's atrocious cover of this.

Still love the original though.

[shaun2urz]

Sounds like a bunch of posh blokes playing at being rock stars.

[Mediocresinger]

Welcome to Keane

[JarethTheGlitterBoy]

This was ok. The original was still the BEST <3 This one does get props for not being the WORST cover I've heard but it does sound a lot like the original, well the Freddy part does anyway haha no one can match David's voice! Ok cover I guess

[shazaha]

Beats Jedward

[xxj04nn4]

Still love the original more. <3

[xELecTRicAxcoCAinAx]

Freddy is crying

[LightOfGaladriell]

I love this cover and I love Keane :)!

[geebhatia]

if u dont lke this cover your so freaking ignorant

[ivankaramasov]

Do you know the meaning of the word? Anyway, I find this cover pretty boring. It is all too similar to the original.

[geebhatia]

yeah i do. im saying that the only reason someone would not like this cover is because they think no one can do it besides freddy mercury. thats being ignorant. don't try to quote survivor on me. and if u dont watch survivor ignore that last sentence

[ivankaramasov]

Or because it is a boring cover maybe? Not adding anything new to the original. The vocals are pretty ok though. And I don't even like Mercury's voice.

[geebhatia]

ok you got me. lol i guess i was kind of being ignorant in a way. at least im not stubborn

[Cal093]

...god, this song in it's entirety sucks my sack.

I bet you ugly fucks who like this also like niggers singin' about the next whore they're gonna one-time. (aka 'R&B')

[range567W]

@Cal093 spam

[bootle95]

@range567W right

[SimonBolivarX]

It's the TeRrOr of knowing what this whole fraking world is about....yeah!

[nez945]

rubbish cover

[j9o9h9n9n9y9]

Great version. The only thing I don't like is they used the "Vanilla Ice" bass riff instead of John Deacon's (IMO better) one.  Apart from that, really well done. Gotta love Queen, gotta love Bowie, gotta love Keane!

[wenchy2]

LYRICS .

tis is our last chance.

this is ourselves,... under pressure.

wake up call.

namaste

[joaorreis31]

Awful are you!

[joaorreis31]

[girliexlovex]

I LOOOOVVVEEEE THIS SONG! we did a recital dance to this song! its sooooooo awesome! i love it

[zodiacflames]

[keykokiono]

Tom's got "The Voice" - this is just p-e-r-f-e-c-t

[suzismith]

brilliant xxxxx

[Zanarkke]

terrible.. i was expecting better

[marikraaka]

Such a good cover! He's got a great voice!

[keykokiono]

..." Cause love's such an old fashioned word and love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night and love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves" - these words have more meaning in Tom's

[vkeightyfive]

This works. I like it.

[54spiritedwill54]

I love this song and video !!!

[JulyForToday]

I love Keane.

[palebluedot]

wow. The lead singer for Keane sounds kinda like Mr. Mercury.

[ledgerdeathshit]

This song stands very high with me, but this is nit a bad job!

[SpoonerAve]

I`m surprised how good this cover is. The best Under Pressure cover at all, I must say.

[lahmajo18]

blah blah blah

[lahmajo18]

ICE ICE BABY ...

AHAHAHAHA

FUCK !

[magwi69]

brilliant cover, Keane are excellent live, saw them 29th jan in SECC, cant wait to see them again.

[VlinderSav]

the used and my chemical romance are better :D

[allie0luvs0panic]

yeah they acctually sound realy natural. like mcr and the used are really comfortable.

i like both.

:D

[prehistorymaster42]

this covers way better than my chemical romance and the used. their version sucked. this is actually good.

[keykokiono]

I second that. Keane surprised me with this cover

[latarra]

excelente version!

el 7 de marzo en Buenos Aires la tocaron! IGUALLLLLL!!!!

EXCELENTE LA VOZ!

[warholboy]

Brilliant cover!

[GothicCurls9]

Absolute great cover song. Keane are just SO amazing, and I love this song, so im in luck here. :]

[vakerourbano]

one best cover ever

[LightOfGaladriell]

Oh, Tom Chaplin, you vocal God! :)

[AndreRed90]

One of the best cover

[mickecs12]

guaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Cle08Cle]

Tom's voice is so wonderful !

[gabrielayrandy]

Does somebody knows in wich album does this song appears ??

New Keane fan

[zarooka]

It's not in any of the 3 major albums (Hopes, Sea, or Symmetry), it comes on the Nothing in My Way single

[gabrielayrandy]

Thank you, you made my day ;);)

[Matty16836]

Hi........

[JL6162]

This cover rocks!!!

One of the best Queen covers! If only Vanilla Ice could learn something from this talented band!

[dyanazul]

...buena interpretacion... :D

[arran8910]

he is playing the wrong bass line !!! He's sticking an extra note in xD

[cuva52491]

kill the bass player for playing the vanilla ice bass line. WOW

[monsterstinker]

i can't tell if you're being serious or not, but just in case...

queen had the bass line first, they played this song with david bowie way back when. vanilla ice used this, he got in trouble and got his keister sued. yes, i said keister.

[bowserb61]

I think what he's talking about is that the bass player is playing the vanilla ice version of the bass line, which adds an extra note on the repeats. In the interest of a respectable cover of this song, he's right, the bass player should be shot for playing the vanilla ice version.

[monsterstinker]

indeed it is a good cover. very good.

[Cle08Cle]

I love this song and video !!!

[keykokiono]

Here's why Keane is sooooooooooo good -who else could cover Queen and sing it so perfectly? The why,why,why part shows how far Tom can go, this guy can sing whatever he wants, he has the gift

[orelero]

EXCELLENT

[gotmonkeyfinger]

Freddy would be proud. by far the best version of this song besides the original.

[InnezDiaz]

I love this!

Where can I get this?

[marianochaplin]

great job! i love this cover, Tom voice is perfect!

[mychemicalstudents]

i think the original & mcr ft the used & keane vesions are great.. they make great effort making cover of this song..

[jayeslove]

absolutely love it :)

[doremi5002]

this great cover is for you baby

lilly

[wolves4life93]

MY CHEMICAL TOILET'S Version sucks they are just a horrible band, now Keane are great and this is a good version of the song

[aldoachaval]

te amo Queen !!!!!!!!

[LupinLoverGuitarist]

I love this cover so much (:

Can't stop listening to it.

x

[lrsmith]

soooo gooood

[shadowgrinch]

Anyone who says that the My Chemical Romance cover is better must have had brain damage.

[xXxFatalClawxXx]

Exactly... Keane pulled it off BUT ONLY FREDDY AND BOWIE CAN PERFECT IT!

[Crashking416]

Exactly.

[leethedster]

good job.

[sowhat137]

i like this version

he came pretty close to doing freddie justice

who cares if they didnt really do it that different if they did no one would like that either

[Nannaisbored]

I don't really like this version..

Ive heard the MCR-version, and it is way better.. So is the original.

[Mihajasoa]

Tremendous cover! Thanks for the vid.

[ScotChick]

very good :-D

[ElenirLachlagos]

Well done, but... No variation from the original. It sounds like the Queen version - only not as good of course.

[visitjessiechan]

God, he sounds so much like the young Freddie, and that's the song they chose to cover? Tom can sing so well any of the older queen songs. Too bad.

[candiab]

no, Vanilla Ice bass line has an extra note between each round of the bass riff, just like this cover, so this is not the queen bass line riff, is the Vanilla Ice one

[candiab]

why they played the vanilla ice bass?

[PotOdd]

Vanilla Ice used the bass line of the original "Under Pressure" by Queen & David Bowie

[lambada1991]

Queen is better, Freddie 4ever

[brainybrum]

i like this band but they have a long way to go to get as good as david bowie and especialy queen but they did a good job but still there is a long way to go

[zetajones63]

It's amazing how Tom Chaplin sings- he can sing whatever he wants and make it beautiful

[codyrayhahn]

good cover

[buskerdog]

heh, he's throwing in the extra like Vanilla Ice note.

[BravoBrand]

HE SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE BOWIE

[bbqthis]

is that a bad thing? can be a good thing... lol jk

[mountainDreamer]

I dont think he is trying to sound like him. He is talented in his own way, and doesnt need to sound like anyone but himself. I give anyone credit for attempting an old favorite like this and putting it out there. These guys have a good thing going. ;-)

[getthepoooffmybum]

sounds just like bowie

[AnkaW291]

Amazing. <3

[vent0lin616]

The only cover to do the original justice

[FamousRae]

I like the original, but this version is awesome! I honestly like it more, but only because I'm not a huge Bowie fan... and because Tom Chaplin is simply amazing!

[Ystorica]

Amazing cover; Tom Chaplin sings Bowie and Mercury like it was them. This boy has a golden larynx.

[FEARAFALL]

mitico! bella cover!

[Hennesey89]

I love Keane and I play piano and the guitar. But I love Keane much more without a guitar. This is one thing what makes them different from all the other bands!

So Keane: Burn your Guitars!!!

[bobbylockes]

wow. very good. Their own material doesnt come close to this, and I like their own material.

[cyberinjection]

Leuk Hoor xD

[fannemel]

nice video work man!

[garylina]

KEANE YOU ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!!!

[dtam68130]

I always though Freddie Mercury had a very unique voice. And indeed he does. But I remember one day I was listening to a live performance by Keane and I noticed that the lead singer had a strange quality in his voice. That sometimes he would remind me of Mercury. I guess he noticed it too or someone mentioned it to him. One of my favorite Queen songs. I love Keane too. So this is a nice treat. Thanks for posting this :)

[garylina]

I love Keane! and Tom has no a girlfriend!

[l0v3today]

This just makes me sad :(

No disrespect to Keane, they are a very respectable band. In fact, they did a reasonable, if not good job.

It's just that this is my favorite song of all time. Queen & David Bowie are my two personal favorite musicians, and 2 of the world's most reputable. This song was phenomenal, still is, and I believe it should remain in all it's glory, untouched by modern bands.

Again, no disrespect. Keane is great, I just prefer them when they perform their own material.

[Squeaky1423]

Excellent cover of the original!

[themiddle86]

awesome cover of an awesome song!  :)

<3 keane

[themiddle86]

awesome cover of an awesome song! :)

<3 keane

[themiddle86]

awesome cover of an awesome song!  :)

<3 keane

[JohnLennon100]

I love it!!!!!

[kateanne009]

this is so different from their other stuff, but i like it

[tiufado]

The best way to hear this song is sung by the Voodoo Squirrels in concert, and the ladies are sooooooooooooooooo hot.

V. S. you are the best

Sorry Keane

[blastingxspeed]

This cover sucks ass. They totally killed this song.

[Drigzy]

dude this sounds very similar to the original! how can you say that. get some ears

[mutant81]

Not sure if this is a live performance, but the phrase "turned away" at 2:05 is sung slightly off-pitch (flat), and the bass note for the chord progression from 2:38 deviates from the original in a BAD way. It goes from D to B to A, which is boring and too straightforward compared to the original D, G, A. You're always going to get compared to the original when doing a cover, like it or not, and if you can't do something different in a GOOD way, it's just going to be painful to listen to.

[wolfisloose]

it get what you're sayin' man. I like the original D,G,A too

[bbsdank]

This sounds very similar to the original! How can you say that.[2]

[Drigzy]

similar.. extremely, give me a reasn why it isnt?!

[zetajones63]

Nickbosssie thank you so much for this precious vid, such a beautiful tribute to Queen - Tom Chaplin is a great singer

[moenmeloen]

no problem ;)

[suma125]

サウンドはきれいで印象に残る。ヴォーカルはfreddieの創­造から抜けきれてないかな。

[zetajones63]

Excellent cover, I love Keane

[MrDuDeTheFirst]

Nice but not as good as Queen (with Freddy not David)

[sowhat137]

wth is YOUR problem

[rodroaffhal]

Nice try, but Queen is still faaaaaaaaaaaaaar better.....

[JohnLennon100]

Excellent ..!!! very respectfl, and Tom is so in tune!!

[zetajones63]

Absolutely!

[SkoolisNotMyDestiny]

OH,YES,I LOVE IT!!!

Tom does the vocals so well.

[voln]

Keane is awesome I say

[johny69rocker]

nice try...but queen are still better!!!

[Tonythetigertuba]

Pretty good! My only gripe is that it's a little slow. :P

[maybeicanchange]

if u think he's a fag, why did u watch it?

[bexboo19]

I disagree. I think it's a good, solid cover. Much better than Kill Hannah's.

[harrybrandy]

by far not the best cover.

Try yellow brick road!!

but... fair is fair, not bad
