  • Good job, take the negative comments, you did a better job then they know!

  • Yeah, i see a lot of dumbasses picking here, but very few covers.

    I won't say it was the better i saw, but if training, you guys could and will perform just great. Some gaps, but nothing will won't take care of.

  • In my opinion, pro speaking. the vocals werent executed properly. especially the back up vocals. need reverb on the prechorus. it lacked alot but nothing that cannot be improved. Drum's were sloppy in the beginning but gradually it gained momentum.. The guitars sounded dry. it needed more reverb and the guitar solo did not scream. solo is always louder than all but the drummer. and last... the synth makes it feel like home. there was no synth... could be because you have no key player.

  • @Groundbrawl Just food for thought.

  • @Groundbrawl and reading the lyrics off a stand makes it look like kareoke. just saying

  • I'm not one to pick holes in someone's performance, but OMG!

    The lyrics were BUTCHERED! The main hook of verse 2 is "The music of rebellion makes you wanna rage/But it's made by millionaires who are nearly twice your age." What I heard from the vocalist wasn't in the same zip code!

    To sum it up, if you're going to do a cover of ANYTHING, please, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE LYRICS RIGHT!!!!! Not doing that is like diving into an empty pool; it can only cause you pain.

  • BUTCHERD

  • very, very good. drummer should play softer though. i mean, he has the song down PERFECTLY, just a bit too heavy

  • I Guess that sounded ok

  • i hate the voices. Did you had a cold? besides, you could've done so many things! harmonies are one of the most important things that distinguishes Porcupine Tree. Serious work though! : )

  • Gah Tone Def look it up..... Drummer is only one who grasps this peice.

  • I thought that this was okay - not nearly as bad as some people have said.

    The drumming is good, but way too many crashes in the verse - and the singer could do with learning the lyrics, but I'd say that you made a decent stab at the song, just needs a bit of practice.

    Nice job.

  • Anybody that attempts to do this genre of musak (sic) deserves kudos. Being a cover band means you have to be better than the original to be taken seriously, even more difficult when you are playing compositions more complicated. This isn't the Stones or ACDC, relax and enjoy.....

  • lucky day to play a song

  • ohhhhhhhhhhh mon dieuu le solo.................ou t'as apri ça

  • Non a nice cover, and the singer didn't read the text b4 performing the song :D there're a lot of mistakes..learn english xD XD

  • My opinion:

    Drums weren't that great, but this is Gavin Harrison's drumming. It's not just understanding to override the 7/16 with a 7/8 groove to make it sound good, but to get the feel of it too. Too many unnecessary crashes during the verse and the fill going into the final chorus doesn't match the song.

    Lead singer was good, backup guitar was good. Guitar solo...well as much as I support other musicians, it was pretty bad, the timing, the note selection, the feel.

    Everything else good!

  • Why are people complaining that much? I think that if you cover a song you always need to do kind of an own interpretation. Note-by-Note is boring.

    I find the singer very decent, Steve is not even that of a great singer himself it just fits the music, more or less, but is far from being special.

    The background vocals are complete crap, but I like the rest of this performance.

    Keep up.

  • @OpioidesAnalgetikum

    I completely agree with you! Especially as even Steve does not bother him either with the note by note ... even if it is true that the bends just ... LOOL!

  • Not a very nice cover to listen to.. drummer is damn good, the trouble is with the vocals.

  • fix your vocals and keep rockin'...!!!!

  • In my opinion (as a guitarist, bassist and drummer), the only good thing in this video is the drum part.

  • Stratmanzak Disait il y a 11 mois : if you actually played guitar, or had listened to the song before then you would realise the guitar solo wasn't to far off the original. i would probably agree with you on the vocals though... i didnt think it was to bad on the whole, hard song to pull off well .

  • guys honestly the solo really sucks.Many bends are out of tune..solo a waves on time's song..there's a lot of hard work to do by your guitar player!!!and i agree with alowiciusjackson about the lyrics!!so i like the drummer's groove.Start with good things to correct bad things..don't get angry for owr ideas!!

  • @MrMicheleParri I'm not offended or annoyed when criticism or constructive notice is whether negative or positive. What I do not understand what are the aggressive and derogatory comments from people not being able (in my opinion) as well ...

  • @MrMicheleParri Your comment does not bother me because it is not categorical, but like 'em myself, even if this solo is not good good it is still a good basis for progress ... I assure you watch other versions and you will see that it is finally being not so "bad" than that ...

  • Sorry but i don't agree..you have to make the best you can..not a little bit better than other shit versions!!!So I appreciate your work 'cause few people plays PT live in clubs(in italy i know only 1 band).

    Yes it's a good basis to start and progress but i recommend you to understand your mistakes and slowly correct it.

  • @MrMicheleParri But we do not claim to be the best cover band from France. But I take exception to comments like "is shit" etc. usually from guys not playing in a group, does not amount to the stage and simply play and replay in front of their computer because it gives me totally false although it is far from perfect I admit! We always try to do our best and the last two years we have worked and I hope we can do much better today. I therefore agree with this last comment that you do.

  • @Gatheo93 well kiiiiinda, but if you have at least a tiny bit sense of rythm and ear for tones, you have to admit there is still a LOT of work to do on the solo (well not only that, but yeh, you did it already admit on the post before). It's not "own interpretation" of it (I don't care about that). Own interpretation would still require at least some nicer sounding. And btw: it's not THAT difficult to play it, just needs practice

  • @MrMicheleParri Sorry dude but this solo is pretty good. I'd hear it in a club like that and I wouldn't be complaining at all.

    I wanted to say that this is a great cover. Only downside is maybe the vocals that would need a little work, but really nothing too much. Best cover I heard so far. Great job guys, Excellent travail!

  • The guitar solo just kills me ... in a bad way.

    Sorry but I just had to say lol

  • @Gamagachee

    This illustration of what I said, a comment as stupid and useless!

  • I was only joking, I accually thought the cover was quite good

  • @Gamagachee

    Excuse me and I thank you.

  • i'm dying when i hear the solo -.-

  • I am the guitarist Gathéo and honestly I think all those overreactions (I'm dead, it's shit ... etc.) towards the solo of this song is exaggerating a bit, it's true that I could do better and I'll do better today, but hey ... Perhaps he should consider that it is not so easy that it's live and in the end, how many of these donors are lessons that can do both? Be more measured in your reactions and especially more constructive ...

  • this has actually MORE views than PT's live video!! x(

  • Woahou ! bonne nouvelle !!! Gathéo mondialement connu...Lol bien sûr. Et puis en voyant les avis, peut-être ne sommes nous pas si mauvais que cela...n'en déplaise aux mauvaises langue...

  • 1. learn the lyrics

    2. learn the instrumentals (especially the solo)

    3. try again

  • Nice effort. It's very easy for people to pick holes in other's performances, but not knowing the correct lyrics is like giving ammo to the enemy.

  • lol wacha wonders

    but otherwise good

  • Waaaaa, the drumming's amazing !!

    Árbol de Puercoespines xDDD

  • A good effort. For those bashing this, at least they didn't cover some crappy Bon Jovi tune!! Give 'em a break!

  • watcha wonders of the world

    what the fuck is that

  • Tell the lead guitarist to do proper bends and to be at least well timed ahaha

  • Seriously, the drumming isn't very good, at all...

    And if I was to comment on the other instruments, what I said about the drums would be a compliment. Without the keyboards this song isn't the same, the mixing on all the instruments is horrible, and the vocals not being right, and ultra out of tune in many parts top it off. Again, the vocals are the worst part. "Watcha wonders of the world no one cares" I mean, COME ON!

    2 stars. Keep practising.

    Fox.

  • fuck man... give them a break ay - i liked it

  • @Fox622003 Im sorry this post is is old but I have 2 say..... The drumming is good. The drums suck. new heads tuned correctly, decent drums, and really expensive symbals make drum music sound good when u can afford them.

  • @Fox622003 feel free to post up your much better version then.

  • nice Drumming!

  • This is nasty!!

  • Comment removed

  • sorry guys...im from greece..could u tell me the name of this song?

  • The Sound Of Muzak

  • thanx man...

  • not to bad for a live cover....I'd like to here the lyrics sung properly....

    IOne of the wonders of the world is going down

    It's going down, I know

    It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares

    No-one cares enough

  • Good drummer...the rest of it...eh....not so good

  • Is this song meant to be ironic? It's as poppy as hell.

  • Nice cover, but I agree, the solo was bad. IMO, the singer overcomplicated the vocal lines. But that's just IMO.

  • I'm sorry but the video response has nothing to do with the topic, one that plays the sound only plays with the disc, Gathéo is a group that plays the song live, so without a first net and without retouching. In the case of the acoustic return we do not know how many times he replayed the thing before we present the trvail not confuse therefore not entirely!

  • Get over it, the solo sucked. It sounded like a beginner. Are you a guitarist ladybuggroove93 ? I don't think so.

    Dans tous les cas, que ce soit sa « performance » live ou celle du gars qui joue seul dans son sous-sol, c'est exactement la même chose. J'en ai joué des chansons devant un public, c'est exactement PAREIL!

    Dans le cas de ton guitariste mauvais, il est nul!

    And why the hell would you want to retouch a webcam performance? hahaha!

    Y'É À CHIER ! MAINTENANT ARRÊTE!

  • No this is not the same thing, especially when you take pieces complicated, if you're already doing in the scene you know very well, am not in bad times. I am not saying that the solo is perfect, I just say that it is not so bad as you said and What tells you that the guitarist Gathéo can not very well make the quiet song in his basement without the stress of the scene?.

  • @necroticphallus

    You are just a dick !!!

  • Pourquoi ? Je fais juste exprimer mon opinion, c'est à dire que je trouve que le solo était... comment dire... mauvais selon moi? J'ai droit à mon opinion non ? Je n'ai pas dit rien d'offensant alors pourquoi je serais un "dick" ? J'ai trouvé le solo mauvais eh oui, je le joue mieux que toi mais on est pas dans une compétition.

  • wtf r u all complaining about? ah how most youtubers shit me, they all hide behind there keyboards bagging anything they see kos no one can find out how shit they are. obviously this cover isnt perfect but for what it is is really good props to them.

  • You're right !

  • good cover.

  • Not to bat but no really good!

  • the solo was bad.

  • I watched one of your videos, it is that it is easier to play in front of a camera, though quiet in his room and again until you get something not too bad ... Them they have the balls to take difficult songs and playing on stage ... And the solo is not far from the original despite the small problems of implementation. Stop to be too severe, making the scene and see after!

  • I'm not being too severe, i'm just expressing my opinion and my criticism.

  • So I do not agree with you, the solo is not as bad as that, he has more work to do to put in a better place ...

  • You are missing vocals and harmonies in refren, but generaly it's so not bad...

  • At least Drummer do complete Justice for Me.

  • not an easy song to cover, and unfortunately this is does the song no justice

  • oh my god.........dear singer....please try to sing the right lyrics...second, sing the right song...more linear and soft than that!...there's no emotions in here...also the guitar solo: do you know what rythm means? wishing you the best, try to work on it

  • if you actually played guitar, or had listened to the song before then you would realise the guitar solo wasn't to far off the original. i would probably agree with you on the vocals though... i didnt think it was to bad on the whole, hard song to pull off well

  • Comment removed

  • good stuff :)

  • Is not that bad, but why the hell the vocalist changes the lyrics of the chorus? It's not "what's", it is "one of the wonders..." and then "It's one of the blunders...".

  • cuz they are french (quebec) its not that easy to understand

  • And I'm mexican and I understand pretty well English... they could search the lyrics.

  • Right.

    I'm german and I did understand it at the first time I heard it.

    And what sence does the song make if the brilliant lyrics are not represented?

  • Hey! Bon cover les mecs. 5*

  • All my respect guys...i know how it feels covering porcupine tree!!!

  • great! -> 5 stars!

  • Merci.

  • does gatheo mean anything?

    nice cover.

  • DULL

  • Thats some good fucking drumming ! Fine cover :)

  • Well all of you that have critisisem (excuse my english i am dutch, ignorant and i have one red wine to much;)) To cover a song like this is HARD. i must give respect to this band and if somebody could give me the bands name i would be very interrested in hearing there own songs.

    if you want to hear some songs of the band i played in check xystus or equilibrio on google.

    anyways you guys of this band, very good effort!!

    greetz,

    Tim

  • The band is Called Porcupine Tree.. look at their videos here..

  • this is not porcupine tree. porcupine tree create this song this band is doing a cover of them you smart ass

  • bass is not that good and the drummer is hitting a cymbal at the "1" mark to often, it get's boring and stiff. hard song though! I'm learning it on drums atm!

  • Overall Band's Cool,Specially Drummer nails the parts real good.

  • need to put some more feeling to the solo =(

  • pretty am good, i wouldnt give this 3 and half stars id give it 4 and half. the drummer is really good...got the grove down...but two many crashes man

  • Yes the night fell as ...

  • I only visited this clip on YouTube because I thought it was going to be the real PORCUPINE TREE performing their classic 'The Sound of Muzak'.

    It's disappointing that the actual video doesn't represent Porcupine Tree and the song well.

    Please rename the title to stop further confusion.

  • Lot of respect!!!! They can play music and love PT as you do, at least...

  • please state that this isn't porcupine tree and just a cover.

  • pretty shameful put a vid off some dudes trying to "be" PT...

    I may say good job...but still they would get some copyright issues rite?

  • I didn't like the sound guy who did this gig. The guitar solo wasn't loud enough for my liking.

  • Possibly the worst drumming I've heard in my life!

  • Oh wow. AHAHAHAHAH. You're definitely not a drummer. What exactly is wrong with the drumming?

  • Wrong! I'm a drummer and I've got 13 years experience. Our band which I'm not going to name on here are local heroes.

    Your definetly deaf. The timing is all wrong and it's just plain nasty.

    I don't make a habit of slagging off bands but sorry the drumming was horrible.

  • I still don't understand what's wrong. What part of the "timing" is off? He IS playing in time...use a metronome if you can't figure that out, and it's a cover so it's good that he's using creative license and not playing it exactly like the recording. Music isn't about perfection... it's about the feel, and the musicians in this video were putting their heart in it, and the audience enjoyed it, so I don't see the problem.

  • You can't educate pork!

  • I'm not trying to educate. Just wondering why everyone is so critical of a fine musician.

  • Ben because they are jealous and are not able to live better ...

  • Excellent commentary, I totally agree with you.

  • Local heroes! ! ! I am very happy for you ... but why do not you say your name, both to be pretentious, be provided to the end. Unless you are not as good as you announced ...

  • You do not listen to what you play ?

  • Original version from Porcupine Tree is A-1.

  • What a dirge!

  • cant be real, PT was in Warzawa that day... Acoustics suck but great playing, keep or rocking

  • They remind me a bit of tool. Not quite as hard but they have that laid back rock feel. I like it.

  • Respect!^^

  • i didnt know tha the lyric was "what's you wonders of the world is going down..."

    I thought it was "one of the wonders"

  • Excellent cover! Just KILL THE SECOND VOICE!!!

  • Good drummer. bassist needs to work. Perfect lyrics were destroyed. Why?

    Play it faster. To the lead guitarist on the first solo make up your mind. Improv or original. Your improv solo was much better than your attempt to play the original.

    Rehearse this more and you could have a viable cover. Just paly it faster, focus what you want to do exactly, and sing the right f******** lyrics

  • This song surely one of the best rock songs in the last 20 years, unfortunely dearless playing cover without soul and anything else. Song is 10 numbers too big for you.

  • Totally unnecessecar ! Waste of time !

  • Drummer, wrong patterns.

    This sucks.

  • But, you have to admit, not an easy song to cover...the problem...you´re trying to sound like one of the best bands (drummer, nice work)

  • I totally agree with the previous comment.

  • First off, you should identify this as a cover in the title, since I''m certain I'm not the only one who was expecting to see and hear Porcupine Tree.

    Secondly, if you're going to cover a song by a band with a fan base like Porcupine Tree's, PLEASE learn the correct lyrics and tune to the song. To do otherwise is disrespectful.

    That said, you guys do show some promise, so keep working at it. You do need to work on your harmonies.

  • props for covering porcupine tree but i really feel like you just couldnt pull it off.

    cute try though.

  • u guys suck

  • bass player is shite. otherwise it would be an amazing cover.

  • not enough emotion! i can barely stop myself from crying when i hear this song!

  • Your comment confuses me.

    Do you cry when you hear this cuz its bad, or the actual song is so good it makes you cry. I can understand that, the song is beautiful.

  • oh ha, i know this is late but:

    i was saying i can't stop myself from crying when i hear the ORIGINAL.

    this cover it good, but the chorus didn't match the emotion of porcupine tree's version... which is more than understandable.

    anyway, nice job. peace

  • WOW that was sooooo long ago

    Yeah me too, It's an awesome song.

  • Nice cover.

  • the song is amazing

  • drums are good (y)

  • The band is great but the bass player is not, no groove at all!

  • Wow, simply awesome!

  • PT should not be covered...

    Even PT tries to replicate the sound on their records when playing live...For a regular band to cover them...kills the song for me..

  • Please educate me further...

  • I actually have a Porcupine Tour Shirt that Says "PT '07." So if the band thinks it is good to shorten it to that should the fans also be able to refer to them as "PT." Most of the fans I have met call them PT when typing, So if you don't I guess you aren't really a fan since even the band refers to themselves as this.

  • who are these imposters haha

  • Wow that was a pretty good cover, I love PT...:)

  • seems as the lead guitarist had some problems during the solo:p

  • great cover

  • that was a very good cover, nice one man

  • Good cover.

  • It sounds great for me, nice job :)

  • Pas mal. Je pense que vous n'auriez pas pu choisir de meilleur groupe que Porcupine Tree.

  • That was a really good job congrats!

  • Merci.

  • Bien sûr que ce solo est compliqué ! Mine de rien, Steven Wilson a un feeling terrible.

    En fait c'est bizarre mais j'ai l'impression que le guitariste (je ne sais pas si c'est toi Gatheo93) ne maîtrise pas très bien le solo. Celui qui est à la fin passe bien mieux je trouve, je me suis dit d'un coup "mais il est pas si mal que ça ce gratteux !" ... Pas assez de pratique peut être ?

    Enfin je juge mais je serais incapable d'en faire autant pour le moment !

  • Le gratteux c'est moi, merci pour le compliment. Je le répète, ce solo est chiant en ce qui concerne sa mise en place, du coup tu fais plus gaffe à essayer d'être en place et du coup le naturel en pati, le solo final est totalement improvisé donc pour le coup je suis super à l'aise... Mais pour le fun revisionné le solo que fait S. Wilson sur le dvd live arriving somewhere, il prend de sacrées libertés.

  • Merci pour vos commentaires.

    Skiss j'attends avec impatience vos videos de PT.

    JayFlamby, je sais pour le solo maisil est relativement difficile, non pas du point de vue technique mais plus du côté rythmique d'où ce côté "robotique et sans vie".

  • Good cover!

  • Pas mal cette reprise ! Le chanteur a une bonne voix.

    J'aurais juste deux reproches à faire : ce même chanteur a un accent français trop prononcé et on grince un peu des dents à l'écoute de certaines prononciations (je n'entend effectivement pas "one of the wonders of the world" sur le refrain!) et le solo de guitare sonne un peu robotique et manque un peu de vie... Cela dit l'ambiance d'origine est bien retranscrite malgré tout, et rien pour ça, bravo !

  • Dommage pour les paroles "frenchisées", lol. Mais sinon c'est cool. Même si c'est dur de reprendre ce groupe (surtout pour l'ambiance), faut avoir les couille de le faire. Alors bravo. Et la partie gratte acoustique plus solo gratte, vraiment pas mal. Juste qu'au niveau voix ça vibre trop. Mais je mets d'abord les vidéos après je me permettrai de critiquer. De notre coté, on a repris Trains, Sounds of Muzak, and Arriving somewhere. Bon courage à vous...

  • Nice try, but you are NOT Porcupine Tree, good attempt at a cover though.

    But PT is too hard to replicate, so try another band

  • LOL !!! Nous le savons bien que nous ne sommes pas PT !!! Mais si on ne s'y frotte pas, on ne risque pas d'y arriver !!! Donc on n'essaye, on y parviendra bien un jour... Merci d'avoir pris le temps d'écouter et de laisser un avis.

  • umm.. i liked the drumming?

  • I love u guys.. but not live.

  • Wow, all these bitches complaining. This was great, as mentioned in earlier comments you got balls covering PT. People saying this sounds bad are either musically retarded or has never been at a live concert.

    Again, great show! Keep it up!

  • I LOVE YOU !!!

  • Franchement que tous ceux qui critiquent se débouchent un peu les oreilles et qu'ils prennent leurs couilles à deux mains, qu'ils montent un groupe, qu'ils se mettent sur scène pour nous montrer leur talent !!! Je ne nous prends pas pour le meilleur groupe du monde (loin de là), mais je pense que notre reprise n'est pas si mal que ça...et que vous n'êtes que des jaloux frustrés !!!

  • Please please give up!!! You really suck

  • What the hell does "one chu wondes of the whool" mean?

  • out of tune

  • It may take balls to cover PTree, but just because you do doesn't mean you have balls, and if they do, they just lost them . . leave PTree to do their thing

  • Keep practicing. A lot. It could be much better. But kudos for going for it and showing some PT love!

  • sounded great.

  • not bad... not good... you ruined an amazing solo and the lyrics.. but good effort

  • Original solo wasn't perfect, and the words weren't completely right either. Great drumming though and the second solo was awesome!

  • Takes balls to cover Porcupine Tree!

  • no mames esta de la chingada si steven wilson lo viera se pondria a llorar, esa cancion es demasiado para ustedes. el vocal lo remata todo

  • Ok...

    Things to work on: Harmonization was not good(the parts are a low end melody, a high end melody, and a middle line that sings the same note the entire chorus) and the original solo was off.

    Things that were awesome: The extended version with that improv solo(which was absolutely amazing) was great. That is the true definition of covering music - trying to display the original band's sound while fusing your own into it. Very nice!

    You guys are good, keep working at it!

  • cantas de la chingada!!

    callate!!!!!!!

  • butchered the words.
