Billy Bragg - A New England (COVER)

[gugle22]

in your cover you should IN TITLE write that it is the COVER (poor cover), not "Billy Bragg - A New England", you are not Billy, you don`t have soul. Shitty cover.

[motfok]

@gugle22 You can read the description can't you?  But okay I'll change it since you're whining so much

[gugle22]

@motfok

Dear Motfok, thanks for changing the title :) (adding: COVER). Sorry that I was whining so much, I just was looking (for hours sometimes (at YT) for original song and found Yours. Now I listen again and definitely I was too harsh to Your friend Nick, his version is quite good, it is not easy to play this song alone with lead guitar, he made it quite well! Sorry for my former whining, many warm hugs to You and Nick!

[motfok]

@gugle22 Ahh thanks for the follow up, you have (somewhat) restored my faith in youtube. Youtube is a tough crowd to please!

really good

[dependablestoner]

He ain't Comrade Bragg, of course it's not as good. Look up the Kate Nash travisty of a duet and you can only applaud this guy. One bloke, one guitar-how it should be. Good on you, Comrade. See you at the Revolution.

Great gift

[tigerspuds]

top cover... i'm impressed!!! ;o)

[pezzep1968]

Wish I could play the guitar, as I would have loved to have had the chance to sing a song for my mum. Nicely done, in my opinion.

[LMCEFC]

Awful. in a funny way though :)

[Brannzig]

This would fine just why try to conceal that its a cover? Put cover in the title and I'd be happy.

[thebadweekend]

dont drown yourself in reverb. a little would of done

[areyoudownwithzuby]

Good cover i think :)

[bumcakes]

Dunno why anyones knocking it, i like it.

[scouse21]

How to kill a song!

[jb1g08]

@scouse21 how to be a cunt

[scouse21]

@jb1g08 And you would know!!

[ordem]

Gotta love the "Juhuuuuu" at the end.

I guess that's just what moms do :-)

[tonycologne]

This isn't Billy Bragg you toss pot.

[RichardAcer]

omg, the guitar is so ugly.

[olliesmyth22]

who gives a fuck about what the guitar looks like?

its how u play it and this is a very decent attempt mate. the timing of the strumming's especially hard on this one, good effort.

[RichardAcer]

i didnt mean the looks i meant the sound, you cant tell me this sounds nice!?

[olliesmyth22]

oh right lol. well i guess it never does sound too sharp with these kinda recordings

[pomodrunkard]

That's how the guitar is in the original, so it fits.

[Ryzo1874]

Guys got some balls, hard to up class Billy Bragg but he holds his own lol.

[marijumanji]

Balls for doing the song. I don't know about the rest of these cunts but I don't have a video of me playin the song any better on my page so I'll just say good job for rockin it man.

[Schonfelder]

Haha he can't keep up with the timing... Better work more that right hand, mate !

It's not bad at all, though.

[bunerzissou]

yeah billy has some sick strumming.

[warriorprince1010]

It i OK, I like the guitar playing..

[imaginaryannie]

can't hear it very well but not bad

[ImOnaPowerTrip]

awesome :O

[imamacyoureapc]

Us lor in Kent speak nuffink but da queenzz engrish mayyyte. Billy is from Essex, they're simular accents, I could tell the difference between a Kent and an Essex accent but theres not much to it really :/. Good cover btw

[le55thanjake]

to be honest this is actually a pretty damn good cover,

[duncan01234]

i wouldnt be so specific as kent like evryone else is he just sounds quite south east englandish i know a lot of people who sound like that in sussex and essex and kent and london (i know hes from california or whereever)

[rumismyfriend]

you couldn't do an english accent to save your fucking life mate

[bunerzissou]

wasn't trying to "mate".

[neilb13]

False advertising. Thats not Billy bragg.

[fletzy44]

I hate to be the obvious 'party pooper' but this is just an awful rendition of an incredible song. With the best will in the world, you can't sing, you can't play and my only hope is that someone who loves you might actually come out and say it and spare you any further embarrassment. If they'd played this at Guantanamo, they'd have had confessions so much sooner.

[bunerzissou]

in a perfect world we'd all sing in tune but this is reality please give me some room.

[cdemrunrum]

is this in kent?

good job!

[bunerzissou]

no it's in california, it was my mom's birthday.

[henry707]

It that an Englishman singing? Great cover version - I understand why someone aksed if it was from Kent. Really good....

[bunerzissou]

haha please elaborate! why does it seem to be from kent?

[postie10111]

Because it sounds like an Englishman singing it..

I'm from Barking - Essex (where Billy is from) and while it doesn't sound like my accent, it does sound like someone pretty close by... maybe Kent (20 miles away).. it's an excellent cover version.. both vocally and guitar wise...

Nice one .. erm.. geezaaaaar! (sorry, lapsed there.. :? )

[henry707]

Tehehe - you're right postie 0- we're just over the river in Kent - separated by that lovely dartford bridge we all love ;O)

[motfok]

Hahah that's funny that you guys all think he's english! He's actually a vietnamese boy from california in the States...Anyways, thanks everyone for checking out and enjoying the cover!

[bayonetsluts]

FUCKED A GOOD SONG. STUPID CUNT

[mikeybtf]

spot on, nice one mate. more videos needed

[samcuthell]

He looks like an 'action man'. great performance

[MikeyOfKTown]

Not bad at all. But definitely got some skills. Keep it up.

[bantammenace]

Brilliant, close to the original

[fuckincancer]

crazy discolights.

[motfok]

[yahooo23092]

[yahooo23092]
