Rick K. and the Allnighters -- Unchained Melody

[maho99ful]

i don`t belive it the drummer was calm!

[RiffRock51]

I was expecting this to be a cover of Van Halen's tune

[carlatan]

what happen to the drummer? did he take his medications?

but anyways his an excellent drummer

[drliceman]

@o00000000o000000000o yeah i thought so too lol

[go2mikerenzi]

not the greatest cover of this song but still well done.. thank you for making me so sad and lonely today.. i think..

[dawey1000]

i totally like these guys , they got everything that a good band needs...



[o00000000o000000000o]

wtf.. in the suggestions preview it said "Rick K. and the Allnighters- Unchained" and I thought this was going to be Van Halen. damnit.

[GreenPineMuseum]

Man these guys are awesome, anyone know if they have a facebook or something.

[JohnnyGuitarWatson4]

This is Steve Moore's least favorite song ever.

[LoganGrueney]

If the drummer looked crazy doing this song I would've peed my pants

[mlacy1234]

Looking past the drummers performance, this band is actually a really phenomenal group. I'd definitely pay to see them live.

[acwao371]

Rick K and the allshootus

[germanwatcheskorea]

오우 아저씨...

[shrimpshot]

By the look of the drummer's hair, I'm sure he had done something crazy before this song already.

[DarkStageFilms]

you should have seen him when he was off frame.. the camera just kept missing him

[GrannyGroovinGravity]

Why are they suddenly wearing white? O.o

[XaleManix]

@GrannyGroovinGravity I'm guessing different performance, since Steeve Moore is only playing a single-bass kit.

[GrannyGroovinGravity]

@XaleManix But it looks like the same set. Look there's flowers everywhere and the american flag behind them.

[XaleManix]

@GrannyGroovinGravity It is definitely the same venue, but this is a month afterward. The Sharp Dressed Man performance was on 7/13/08, and this was recorded on 6/16/08.

[carlwoodison]

Having seen what this drummer is capable of I watched this one through hoping that he was going to let rip animal style and go mental halfway through.

You lot are bloody fantastic.

[Jeedan]

Steve Moore looks like a powderkeg. Like at any second the singer might hit a wrong note and get a drumstick thrown straight through his head like a ninja star.

[TheSumrada]

Should be called "Steve Moore and His Bitches"

[habanerat]

These guys kick ass!

[illisanantexico]

Thumbs up for Bill Murray in Kingpin hair!

[robbsnyder3]

Single bass drum, not double (cross-eyed). these guys got chops & stones.!

[MissBurr1]

love you steveo, you the best, love missburr

[nekopunk]

@dosemeter actually when you amplify a mic signal you usually pass it through a reverb and delay filter.

[googuse]

Hehe - he said Knoebels.



[geelolli]

Damn!  That was awesome!

[AcousticSerenity]

its like they shot the drummer with a tranqulizer

[dronespace]

@AcousticSerenity

LOL

[TheWestProduction]

I love to see them live, the drum is fucking mental.

[FOX61201]

Почему я раньше не слышал творчество этой группы.это ж просто сплошной позитив.

[TPBXDRicky420]

The drummers cocaine meter was at 0% :(

[evilsbloom]

the singer finally had the camera on him now

[voerhierjenaamin]

the drummers batterypack was empty

[wilberalvarado1234]

i like this band cause of the drummer! and he is the reason i subscribed =D

[GdThngUrPretty]

Part of being a good musician is knowing when to shut up and let other people show off their chops. Being in a band ain't all about who's the best, and being the best is about making other people sound good sometimes too.

[8Eriquo8]

i expected the drummer to do backflips while playing this with his feet :\

[DYLAN392]

They finally gave the drummer ritalin.

[TheXebXClan]

@DYLAN392 haha

[boscodogable]

@DYLAN392 No.

[snarlingrabiddog5150]

They are the sleeper cell of rock bands

[thormejh]

where did the drummers whole set go? O.o

[FlinckJanne1981]

i bet drummer was depressed playing this slowlyyyy.. "shiit i wanted to play for slayer".

[scumgod13]

Do these guys make money. I mean those suits have to cost something right?

[jasonfifi]

@scumgod13 cover bands make much more on average than original bands.

[sparkythefinn]

reckon they gave the drummer ketamine

[bubba19632]

I have seen this band live in Indiana and let me tell you they are damn good. And i would love to see them again.

[RoysSkits]

The Drummer Was Calm!?

[agaen96]

@RoysSkits My thoughts exactly!

[bearformidable]

@RoysSkits

it's kind of ironic really. So much raw awesomeness contained, yeah chained even, by the Unchained Melody. . 

[TheKidninja]

@RoysSkits it's called ritalin

[kamechan88]

@RoysSkits the drummer was sleeping XD

[Reaperonatricycle]

@RoysSkits its called teamwork.. the others get a chance to shine too.

[satananass]

@RoysSkits He was asleep I guess?

[AshleyWarrenMoss]

@RoysSkits His got a a sensitive side as well? (;

[WernerMaier1]

i want these guys for my wedding and funeral!! i am a musician.

[mattylovesguitar]

Mica are alright ...needs to run a feed straight from the mixing console to sound better ..i

[Fantasticifaction]

This singer is doing well at this song, wonder why he hasn't gotten bigger than "the Allnighters" lol

But it's no freddy xd

[PhatArtz]

Oh dear, I really wish he wouldnt try to sing like that! Just murdered one of the greatest songs of all time!!

[P11GT]

the voice is too loud and have no reverb or something.

[MrLino]

@P11GT WHy does it need reverb? It doesn't fit everything everytime. Plus, in live performances it can be a pain in the ass, considering echo and such.

[MrRancio007]

muy muy muy bueno ...... (argentina)magic

[MrRancio007]

@MrRancio007 bueno

[bootr0s]

love the showmanship!

[neveh00]

The real "problem" with the voice is that the equipment used to record his voice can not handle it, thus distortion.... You need some hi-quality mics for voice or it all comes out like this, no mater how good you are.

[elfgirl3]

I have seen Rick K 's show numerous times and its always awesome.. they are great showmen

[elfgirl3]

I have seen Rick K 's shoe numerous times and its always awesome.. they are great showmen

[SandwichOfTurtles]

Anyone else reckon the singer looks like Sean Hayes?

[jclmedb27]

@SandwichOfTurtles YES. that's exactly what i was thinking. i just didn't know the guy's name.

[tutuneitor]

everyone is talking about their shitty band or singer instead of this band...

GO WATCH AND HEAR YOUR BAND AND STOP FUCKING AROUND!

and the rest, enjoy the music...

[pajasper]

@mdofx junk

[Jaredinator]

Awesome band! Why aren't you guys billionaires!?

[pcfaulkner]

good singing

[rage1331]

Steve Moore looks like he was taking a nap for the first half.

[ninjabreadman57]

steeve should be a metal drummer !

[jrockzus]

If it wasn't for Steve Moore , they would just be another cheesy COVER band...

Steve Moore is DA Man!!!!

[Diggity6470]

Steve the drummer is pissed that he can't be rockin out on this one.

[sukjune]

dang it. i was expecting the drummer to go berserk mode on this song. disappointed :|

[LSweener012]

Hell yea, this is a difficult song man, the slow groovy r&b ish stuff is very hard to pull off. This is great. Watch more vids of their drummer he is crazy good!

[j0intvEnture]

IT HUUUUUUURTSSS!!!!!! NOOOO Make it stop make it stop!!!!!

[SonOFJesus22]

man, I remember when I was five. This song was on my Family computer the nintendo ones. darn, that's where I actually learned to sing old songs :)

[deathman202020]

That was really awesome. Nice vocals.

[MrPeregrines]

extremely bad ... i feel sorry for you guys!

[EchelonEngineering]

great rendition! dude can wail!

[mtnmusix]

these guys are so corny that they're great

[astat32]

HAHA I read the title wrong... I thought it said Medley. I sat there the whole song waiting for them to play a different song, and it stayed the same. That was the worst medley ever!! lol

[CNActionStudios]

OMG I HAVE THE SAME BASS! (guatiar)

[Micha271162]

Steve Moore the best Drummer in Town

[TVOham]

This drummer could be extremely famous if he wanted to be.

He's living a carefree dream with this band which really tells you something about the magnitude of his character.

Kudos

[ilovemaddty]

great voice!



[Psyclist576]

where's the horn section coming from?

[TheSpartan2235]

yeah so what if he isn't the best singer but hey that is a lot of people to compare to. I think he is decent and yeah the drummer is awesome especially when they do a cover of Wipe Out. I think they the guitarist could do a little more on the stage they are good but boring to watch. Hell even they where just walking around and trying to interact with crowd it would be better.

[EbutUoyFAN666]

WTF is up with the madonna/britney mics?!?!?!? That's no very R&R is it?????

I thought only German bands used them like that.

[dmcuppsala]

No one watches a band play this song without wondering can he hit the notes in the last verse. Well done Mr. K.

[Emm1Twe4kz]

oh my god he does look like Geddy Lee... Rockin band.

[zien5555]

great job,

[TheJimbojones1980]

I would get married just to book these guys! then have them play at the divorce too! hahaha

[miltondemagnifique]

I'm going to say it, I watched for the drummer, but I thought the whole song was beautiful.

[mimue66]

i want to see the trumpets or the synths or what this is ...

[jonnysaintly]

not bad guys, not bad.

[adminjdial]

185581 watched it for the drummer.....the other two were the singer's parents (185,583 at the time of post)

[gaffeltraktor]

Of the 185 000 people that has watched this video, I bet that 180 000 watched it merely for the drummer. Go Steve!

[IAMaRocker92]

Nice bass...What!? Has Geddy Lee cut his hair??

[SAHBfan]

i keep expecting the singer to stop singing and start preaching about how he's let Jeebus into his heart - or something - before curing a few disabled kids and then starting the collection....

...when does the drum solo start?

[PFGShogun]

this was my parents wedding song.

[manfireloko]

why is the bass player laughing??? :D

[aflatminor]

Looks like the  vocalist still has the hanger in the back of his coat!!!

[jcelvis37]

@aflatminor mauvaise langue

[Hanglands]

The 'crazy/best/greatest drummer' wants the crooners to die, you can tell by his sarcastic beat. He needs some Beach Boys or ZZTop....

[natedogg40222]

And next up a nice little diddy from SLAYER!

*drummer creams his pants*

[dwood2066]

singer looks like jack from will and grace

[Morik521]

the drummer is saying in his head "lets hurry up and bust out the white lady!"

[Gschwedt]

you rocks dude.....

[shittyfuck]

come on...i can say he feels lonely

[jcelvis37]

encore un délice à entendre quelle justesse au chant !!!! le reste du groupe que ce soit guitares ou cuivres sont de la même qualité

bravo messieurs continuez à enchanter nos oreilles

[FAUSTORICCARDO]

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo Rick. V beautiful this version. Grazie

[szczepansky]

That lead singer is definitely David Mitchell.

[PilotOfTheCaribean]

the singer reminds me of Mike Myers

[botata09]

!!!!!!!!waaaaaaaaaakz!!!! only the drummer gives sense of the whole band!! if its not because of him!!! this band!!!! sounds worse!!!!!

[IWantJimmahAsMyName]

@botata09

Good point... i think?

[gtabrasil0net]

he could play that using only one of his arms

[an0nim0uz]

The singer isn't that good? This is live, bro. And he sounds pretty damn good. Just because you're used to auto-tuned shit doesn't mean he's bad.

Ever heard Robbie Williams live? Sounds worse than that guy.

[visualkei72]

@an0nim0uz yeah i agree, hes got pretty decent control. definitely up to par for a cover band. :D

[reed311]

@an0nim0uz Well, yeah. Robbie Williams is abysmal. There is a reason he never broke in the US.

[wedgiegrl1978]

@an0nim0uz yeah everyone is used to edited stuff and not live...this is one of my all time favorite songs and i think he did pretty well for being live. love the righteous brothers music!

[saynotorednecks]

@an0nim0uz not to mention the camera doesn't have an external mic hooked up.

[DavidWoodMusic]

@an0nim0uz Dude. Live means nothing. If you can't perform live, you can't perform, period. The studio doesn't mean anything.

But, he does sound pretty dang good.

[Kierank30]

@an0nim0uz YOU FUCKING ROCK I LOVE YOU

[SJNxMediaxNetworks]

@an0nim0uz FUck you

[an0nim0uz]

@SJNxMediaxNetworks LOL U SO MAD

[SJNxMediaxNetworks]

@an0nim0uz im not i just like to go to comments from a long time ago to see if people reply which you did

YEEEE

[aflatminor]

Feck me!!, i'll bet it was killin' poor Stevie having to play slow to this drivel (sorry but that's what the crap singer turned it into..)

The lead guitarist sings plenty better than this clown!!

[Randomnick123]

Damn, quite good performance. Very good.

[handballfan01]

Steve Moore of “America’s most exciting show band” Rick K and the Allnighters will probably end up in your inbox within the next few days if he hasn’t already. You might not know his name, but his drumming is unforgettable. His band’s blazing performance of the ZZ Top classic “Sharp-Dressed Man” has gone viral, flaming drums and all, but what many who watch his stellar performance might not realize is that this wasn’t a one-off thing

[Peter010967]

@handballfan01: I saw the "viral video" too, and immediately wanted more (and found it). These guys are amazing!

[JIHOSOCR]

@Peter010967

Have u seen their version of brown eye'd girl? I was crying I was laugh'n so hard

[ljunkie]

@Peter010967

these guys? Drummer yes, everyone else: not so much.

[jermspfan]

@mdofx

it looks like an Elite 5 series

[andredh49]

you should have more fame if you make own musics

[zzzrtboy]

And yeah buddy, good job yanking the mic away from your mouth and whirling it away from you on the climax of the song. Just because the drummer does that with his sticks doesn't mean it works with a tool that amplifies your voice.

[zzzrtboy]

Yeah, where I can I download their "ALBUM", an entire album of mediocre cover songs??? Needin me one o those. People think he's killing this song - in the good way? Uhhhhh. Right. The hilarious/awesome drummer needs to find the right band - he's obviously a crazy-ass amazing freak. But you think these other guys amount to shit?? Alright. Go ahead and believe that.

[drummingfordrunks]

@zzzrtboy ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hah a

[Khaosreign]

Why are their suits always weird? Also the singer isn't that great and looks like a douche.

[exo2525]

"Unchained Melody" is a 1955 popular song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret.

[SprinklyDinkly313]

boo no drummer!!

[Greekmeabreak]

Ahahahahm, like the BALL in the corner and the vuvuzelas :D

[upgradde242]

This guy puts Roy Orbison to shame. amazing!

[KingOfWhatsLeft]

@upgradde242 Yes, it puts Roy Orbison to shame, he is indeed shamed up in heaven knowing that he wrote the song that would one day be ruined by this guy.

[mgr800]

@KingOfWhatsLeft Roy Orbison did not write this song

[exo2525]

@KingOfWhatsLeft

"Unchained Melody" is a 1955 popular song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret.

[inyofacepriklips]

@upgradde242 You just proved how much of a lame fuck you are...

[Izkzmach]

man...I love every inches of this guy

[mikeanthrope]

@mdofx Shecter

[GoodHariss]

@mikeanthrope actually its spelled Schecter ;)

[hellfencer]

@mikeanthrope I've got an Ibanez and a Schecter and between the two it looks more like an Ibanez, judging by body alone. The head looks more like a Schecter though...

[Arieswargods]

the singer is killing this song......

[gandalg546]

This drummer's skills belong to metal and his soul belongs to Satan. Someone get him outta there!

[randomassockss]

@gandalg546 ahahahaha (y)

[BassAMOS247]

he should lay off the speed haha

[chuckon49]

that drummer needs to leave this band and rock on

he should have his own fan club

[ThaddeusMaximus909]

Cocain is a hell of a drug,

[tonyouravanh]

@ThaddeusMaximus909 yes it is
