Holiday (Get Up Kids Cover)

[eharris28]

The one dislike was actually Matthew Pryor! LOL

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

Very cool. At first I thought you had a twin brother in a matching outfit - too adorable. But then I read the description. Seriously, though, this is an awesome cover. Great voice and superb guitar and mandolin work.

[Bakersfieldsucks777]

good job dude

[ATCmenUNT]

This guy looks like Dave Grohl and Tyler Dirt from HollaCo$t. Thumbs Up if you agree! Also, I'm Justin Bieber and what is this?

[grindcorenapalm]

Chris, you are so amazing. I sent which I hope is really you a Facebook friend request. I know you don't know me but you are tear worthy. This is kinda crazy but YOU will play a Saves The Day song at me and my girlfriends wedding in the future. I'll pay for everything, you are so amazing and you can fill the shoes of Mr. Conley. Please accept. Jan Uary.

[Luckiewanderboy]

good shit man, i watched with low low low expectations

[wskkkkk]

I love this :D

I watched the video before I was reading the description and I was like "wtf, twins?" xDD

[xlivingtogetherx]

Great job !



[fatguy666]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, awesome fucking cover dude.

Seeing TGUK tonight, so stoked.

[xXTheCalculusManXx]

youre quite the badass, sir. so how did you do the multitracking?

[benaltdrum]

Hey i actuly like the sound of this! Great song good lil bits of improv in there too i think, and great voice!...Anyways, check my drum cover out, lemme know what you think!

[xBizouncex]

OMG a male who can sing well, sooo gay! FETCH THE HOLY SPRINKLER!

On a more relevant note, your covers are absolutely incredible, man. I also liked your original tune too. You've got some serious talent, and with that you're going to have the occasional indignant prick who's just jealous he's not as talented as you. Keep up the good work.

[brooko20]

Dude that was so so sick the vocals were awesome!

[capostatus937]

this is actually kinda good, I havn't listened to them for very long but this song is my favorite of theirs

[AnnaCecilleMoorman]

Like the mandolin. Don't really like the yelling. The video store in the corner seems... economical.

[philogos0]

Fucking awesome!

[mathiasbromage]

Very nice, gentlemen.  Very nice.

[SongToFanFlames]

Great cover there! great voice

[Panth3rdash]

i think you make this song sound better :)

[cluedo1]

What happens to your right hand at 3:20? Scary ;)

[improvmastah]

nice job dude, do you have a tab you used for guitar?

[ChrisDodgen]

Afraid not, man. Just used my ears.

They're just basic chords though. Mostly bar chords. E, C#m, B, Asus2, Ab and I think that's it. Maybe also F# somewhere....

[improvmastah]

k, thnx and yet againamazing job

[goumboy]

respect

[nyej25]

Awesome work man.  One of my favorite songs from my favorite bands. You did it justice for sure.

Thanks

[knivesoutbitch]

good job. you managed to make the singing even gayer than it was on the album. keep up the massive homosexuality!

[ChrisDodgen]

I will...

So what are you doing later?

...

:)

[pretzels713]

how do u blend the 2 vids. plz reply

[Idontlikebanjo]

dude wat multi track stuff you using

[Illuser]

WTH! You even cover GUK! That makes you ubber awesome, dude. Especially the fact that it's an amazing cover. : ]

[Metalcortaku]

Nice.

[kilare666]

Sir, you're awesome.

[TeenageSuicideDoIt]

terrible

[gelocks]

Awesome cover!

This is my first post ever (I think...) on YouTube and I've had an account for a while... And BTW, how the heck did you do that with Premiere? Any tutorials on the web?

Thanks, keep the good music coming!

[ChrisDodgen]

I don't know if there are tutorials out there. All of my videos where I made multiples of myself after this were done much more easily (in a more complicated way, if that makes any sense) with Adobe After Effects.

[gelocks]

I'll have to look into that cause this is awesome!!! ;-)

Keep it up man!

[lovepeaceandlydia]

holy moly.

you're so good.

c:

[caseyeleet]

[ChrisDodgen]

[kwtank]

Man! this is so dope!

I totally expected yet another emo kid cover,

but this is truly awesome. i love the mandolin! keep this sh*t coming

[noodles37]

you sound like the singer of simple plan, which is bad. but you are a nice person (I know that), which is good. overall, I like you,

[OurBallads]

awesome man! get up kids songs sound so great acoustic.

[jamesalanstrickland]

I think about this cover while I'm at work...

[pacolli]

i like your version a lot! very awesome :-)

[xxgoddlyxx]

all your songs are amazing... need to write some songs and hit the studio.... or just do a couple more get up kids covers thatd be awesome.. haha

[imstoned6]

[bencore22]

[kjmacmccoy]

[westbound714]

[sizers]

I probably watch this video at least 3 times a week. Shit is TIGHT!!!!!!

[JUNENFIONA]

[RedlvRum]

dont be modest my good man! can i ask you what chords you used for the guitfiddle part?

[RedlvRum]

your version is a million times better than the original!

[ChrisDodgen]

I don't know about that, but thank you.

[RedlvRum]

yo this is dank!

[ANightmaresEcho]

this is really goood. you did a great job sir.

[nicjennings]

hey man. i rarely post comments but this is such a great job i had to. the whole thing is awesome. great backing, great lead vocals. nice job. all the best.

[kchida1980]

Dude, you just need to be featured in a super popular YouTuber's video and you'll get quite a following. The blending of your humor and musical/vocal talent is very entertaining.

[fatguy666]

Dude, I tried to post a comment on here last week but I guess I ballsed it up.

Anyway, what I wanted to say was, could you get this down in an mp3 of some sort?

I have now listened to it 10+ times and it is way awesome.

[ChrisDodgen]

I really appreciate the thought behind that, but because i did not write the song, I am not very keen on creating and sharing an mp3. Feels like it wouldn't be right to The Get up Kids. I don't know; maybe I'm just weird.

Thanks for the suport, though, man.

[gun2dadeep]

you can download this video and put it on your ipod.

there is some site where you can download youtube videos

[gun2dadeep]

this is your best cover.

[kchida1980]

dang!

[downforlife330]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!

[sizers]

This cover is better than the original. I want a mandolin now

[clemsontigers1211]

let me know when you put out a cd, k?

cause i'm buying it.

you're fantastic.

[MyDissonantLife]

Stop making excuses man... you don't need 'em.

Great job...seriously.

[ChrisDodgen]

Oddly enough, you're the first person to say that.

I know people won't notice what I notice, but...just in case someone could...Ah hell what do I care? You're right.

[FrankGuihan]

Dude, honestly, you need to get a band, get signed and get famous

[SingsongsAndwakeUup]

seriously

[danks1984]

lol i just realised it is just you and not two different people

[ChrisDodgen]

We thank you. lol.

[danks1984]

friggin awesome fellas. i wish i had your range. 5 stars

[chrisring0]

bro...blown away great stuff

[rockofrefuge]

Fuck dude! This must be a trick you learned from Razor! Now find a way to get paid twice!

[ChrisDodgen]

Who is this?  Pixley?

[paoLAWL]

all your covers are ridiculously good

[TwoCapitals]

Your voice sounds really good man. I love The Get Up Kids and I love this song. The mandolin sounds good too.

-Jeff/2C

[gun2dadeep]

wait lol..

so you edited it, so now there is two of you.

so that is not a different person?

sorry just a litte confused because i dont know any software that can do that

[ChrisDodgen]

No, I do not have a evil twin. ...Or a good one for that matter. If I did I don't know which twin would be the "evil" one. Sorry, this isn't answering your question at all.

Yes. I edited the video. That is in fact me playing with myself (ha). It's actaully quite simple and was done with Adobe Premiere.

[emorom]

nice work dude

[tyson3cobb]

yo man, i thought i was pretty good, even the multitrack pieced together well. good job.

[djrensk]

STD and TGUK. You have great taste in music my friend!

I could (and often do) spend all day watching your covers.

As long as you keep covering top songs by mint bands I'll keep watching!!

[illbedanged]

pretty damn good mac, i added you because of your awesome std covers.

[jimtews]

Absolutely amazing.
