Dashboard Confessional - El Scorcho

[loveonglass]

Weezer's own is still way better (in my opinion), but they did pretty good job.

[KoolThing14]

Still think Weezer's is a million times better.

[KoolThing14]

So far it sounds like they did this song more justice then they did Jamie.

[handsXdown93]

One of my favorite covers EVER done by Dashboard<33333 Oh Chris. Love me. xoxo

[AStutteringLeftie]

This actually isn't bad. One of the first good Weezer covers I've ever heard.

[softlyspokensound]

very close

[yourboytheroy]

This guy seriously sounds like Rivers to me. I somehow got this version instead of the Weezer version, so I've been thinking this is the Weezer recording for like the past 3 year, haha. One of my favorite songs, to be honest.

[robertomorales10994]

@yourboytheroy i know! this is so well done!

[IFUCKCHIPMUNKS]

pretty good

[xXnewbiexninjaXx]

this made me so happy ^^

[ds4433]

This is actually pretty good.

[turcosoup]

<3 both versions

[ubercream]

I like the original better, but I love the bell solo in this one :D

[BIGMAYNEGREGG]

kind of gay. but not the worst

[oxDarkStormxo]

@BIGMAYNEGREGG You're gay

[GirlRiot]

This cover is okay.

[killermel23]

I love this cover

[faraoseth]

not much of a cover

[1hugaday]

I love his voice so much! ~

[nhessell]

triangle solo... frickin weird

[lo0puggo]

i think this version is much better then the orginal c:

[tuleli]

if youre a true weezer fan, youd be glad because other bands are actually singing weezers masterpeice

[gobosox25]

boo

[countcoco]

Memories.  Great cover.

[weihoozie]

Sounds so fake and cheesy, maybe because Dashboard's music isn't usually as silly and carefree as this.

[missbellaluna725]

this cover is fantastic.

[angelkeith69]

not a bad cover, but the original is still the best...

[Greendog2525]

well as much as i love the acoustic, the electric has its places in songs too.... XD

[KAYRANDA]

this aint soo bad...

[WebFerret246]

@jessieedgil go die.

[skrearlmaster]

Sounds like a kids lullaby. Original is still the shit. This one...... eeeeennnhhh....

[LionsGoMooo]

i got rejected by a half jap girl once, then i heard the first line. i was like HAA!! TAKE THAT !!

[2ez2c2c]

this is tight

[YesImChinese]

yeah fuck them half japanese girls -_-

[ASkateOfMind]

actually wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. the original is helluva lot better though

[indierockandroller]

love it better than the original!! haha dashboard confessional FTW!!

[christinedeal]

Can't compare but the power is till there and I can respect that.

[kiolster]

shit's DOPE i love it

[rockstarkay11]

my favorite weezer song..dashboard did it justice

[OnTheToiletBeyotch]

The original is always better. This is the best COVER.

[LoReNxLoVe]

This was a good cover, but if course weezer did it the best obviously. But DC did a great job.

[riceandbeans643]

As that other dude said, this lacks a certain nerdiness which makes weezer and this song so epic. it only sounds good when a bunch of nerds play it. dashboard confessional is not qualified.

[bladereaper3]

Don't compare the cover and the original. DC is the only emo band nowadays that pays homage to the second wave. Covering a song from the greatest emo album of all time? Just showin' respect.

[subzero5ghost]

@bladereaper3 you do realize their more on indie pop than emo

emo is dying into a sub-category of punk

[PullyElbow27]

@subzero5ghost The "emo" label has become so incredibly demonized and commercialized since the 80's/90's. Weezer's first two albums could be considered "emo", but the old definition.

[jacubio]

god dam this cover is amazing

[ckid150]

I love Pinkerton but hell, I just love this version for a while I thought it was the actual one :P

[jesuped]

This is great, i like how they treat the chorus like it's a real song. It brings out a lot of beauty in the lyrics.



[Drewupanew1]

Great Freakin acoustic cover, Saw dashboard open for Wheezer and he played this song. get drunk, grab your girl/guy and sing this one loud as you can! check my cover if you got the time :>

[evan274]

Not nerdy enough.

Do not want.

[kingcon101]

It's good but I think it sounds too clean, it's lacking the edge that the original had.

[SirBenjamin88]

@kingcon101 Agreed. It sounds too clean... too linear and not rough enough

[FrouElise]

I like this one better actually. I LOVE D.C

[OriginalityImpaired]

It's weird hearing a Weezer song without the odd dorkiness

[SarleeDo]

@OriginalityImpaired Right?! I listened to this cover first so when I heard the first one I was like O.O its soo different!

[RuthlessVision]

Way too close to the original. Why'd they bother covering it?

[OriginalityImpaired]

@RuthlessVision

For fun? Because they want too? I don't even like Dashboard, i'm just saying, there's no unspoken rule of the universe a cover has to be vastly different to justify it's existence,

Actually I barely even like this cover, i'm not even sure I do

[aotli]

say what you want about this song, but I've heard the original and this one, & as weird as it sounds, this version got me my current gf, who is absolutely epic :)

[peterwashingtonband]

they're both really good! i mean weezer gets credit for writing the song but this guy has done a very good cover.

[kh2freek]

yeah I bet that guy has trouble getting girls. took any passion this song had out of it

[Kzierbold]

This is like Weezer's version if every member of the band was castrated before they recorded it.

[OriginalityImpaired]

@Kzierbold

LOL

[SweetlySourPlum]

this is my favorite weezer song...dashboard didn't do too bad. :)

[smartazjb0y]

I don't think it's crap or it sucks, but I definitely like the original better. As someone said, Weezer's is so much weirder.

[barnabyjones786]

yeah....this sucks....weezers is better

[PhattMatt77]

this is crap. no doubt.

[countingcrows123]

Do you have their cover from this wire tapes of "Angels of the Silences' by Counting Crows? Upload please!

This ones great!

[mattiswin]

pretty good cover but i prefer weezer's version

[SummerrrG]

This one is better than Weezer's in my opinion

[Kaguna]

I prefer this version, this is the first one ive heard before the weezer one.. I don't like the weezer El Scorcho ^^; But i like the others one. =)

[safetosaydontquoteme]

why are you comparing which one's better? it's not a competition.... it's a cover.

[rissajoy623]

good cover but it's nothing compared to weezer's. weezer's is so much weirder and rivers' voice is more sincere.

[WildAceXXXGBell]

Makes me think of summer *sigh*

[RedEyes987]

This actually a very good cover. It definitely does Weezer justice. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the verse guitar isn't played with the signature weirdness/sloppiness that Weezer plays with.

[WilliamAndDakota]

weezers better. this is a good cover though

[cod4rulz]

the weezer version is a considerably better.

[russianfantastico]

Weezer did the chorus better. I get hyped and feel like yelling the lines, but these guys are totally chill about it. Meh, that guy's voice isn't that different from cuomo's, so yeah. Maybe if it was a bit different. 'cause I'd rather just listen to weezer's. Like look at iron and wine's cover "Such great heights". Rather different from Postal Service's .

[Zchat91]

not a terrible cover, and i dont like dashboard. but the original teabs this

[significantjoe]

@Zchat91 teabs indeed

[briannab654]

SERIOUSLYY. i love this!!!! :D

[MrGraphite]

this = badass

[briannab654]

YESSH.

[happyoctopusparty]

I love this cover. Dashboard needs to do more stuff like this.

[icantfnduser1]

Lol(:
