The Vines - Clint Eastwood (Gorillaz cover)

[UnshodCreature]

This couldn't be any worse

[crazybasslady]

That was pretty good.

[johanstone]

THIS SUCKS!

[MrAdisease]

@johanstone ???????

really?

y would u say that?

i bet u could do better.......

i love this song

both versions, this and gorillaz

[thinkhappythoughts67]

And what if he's reading the fucking paper!? It's a radio presentation, you can't tell he's reading the lyrics if you're not watching the video, it sounds perfect to me. Stop being so negative, of course it's not the same as the original song 'cause it's a COVER! And pretty damn good in my opinion.

[yugimontcg]

cant compare to damon!! good cover :P

[LoicPerdreau]

nice



[twoodyatwood]

By the looks of things he has something called Asbyrger's syndrome, a form of autism. So do my two younger brothers. Give the guy a break.

[yanis0061]

Craig makes a great 2D

[GBeltran767]

I dont like that he doesnt sing all the lyrics but this cover made me giggle.

[fangedladybug]

I like the singer's voice, but the original was still better.

[HopkinMorgan]

oh dear. Loved Highly Evolved and Get Free

Also why read the lyrics, esp first bit? Perhaps his attention span doesn't last longer than 2 mins, like those 2 brilliant choons?

[erwar87]

liked it.. hope it was complete

[1974vini]

Yeah it does sound lame. Because Craig is a true artist... he couldn't copy to save he's life. He can only write originals like a kickarse muthafucka.

[ahemitsmex5]

Wow, thats really cool :)



[MM2310]

THE VINES ARE AWESOME. idgaf if he has mild autism. i love Gorillaz too and this cover is pretty awesome.

[hansonbrother1]

let's go queensland eh?

[MegaBomb66]

Fuck I love the Vines. From cd 1!

[iLikeCookingWithAri]

@bjkerp well said

[Z3R0ZUIT]

i dont really like it

[ghostplanes7]

uhhhhh, huh? ummmmm... this is just akward. they go to the radio station to play a ''cover'' song live? i could see if it was a really old classic song, but why this song? this guy can really fuckin sing why is he wasting his talents by presenting this? whos funding this? i miss those days where he used to sound high ass hell like on autum shade, not rapping!

[bjkerp]

@ghostplanes7 mate, no one is funding this... Triple J invites bands on the show every friday to play one of their own songs and do a "version" of whatever song they want. The Vines picked this song. They didn't get paid shit, it's just about the music and having a bit of fun doing something different. So fuck off

[ghostplanes7]

@bjkerp  mate i wasent seriously curious bout the funding its a figure of speech fuk off fagtapus!!!

[bjkerp]

@ghostplanes7 fagtapus? ok then...

[ghostplanes7]

@bjkerp fag + pussy + platapus wtf?! = FAGTAPUS!  ......give me a break i have autism smh......

[bjkerp]

@ghostplanes7 spelt platypus

[ghostplanes7]

@bjkerp spell autism

[mariosanchezzzz]

best version

[hollowXwulff]

I think he did a good job :D

[twiztedminds420]

this song is so easy what is he reading lol

[skaterobot100]

HORRIBLE

[rob1993zombie]

Not sure where my mouse should click here ... like...or dislike...

[beriukay]

Crank the trebble!

[donadecj]

good... but i still prefer the gorillaz'

[Kraeutertee91]

Why dou you guys have such great radio channels?? live music? great!! We have 4 different channels that play the same crap all day long..

[katydid31783]

@Kraeutertee91 we have them too! you just have to pay for it.

[leon12393]

valla cover excelente

[Breitbild]

And he's even reading from a fucking note!

[halofreak4t5]

The Vines are one of the most under-rated bands of all time. This cover is dope. Even though it's not their best piece of work.

[dxl99]

@halofreak4t5 Ms Jackson cover would have to be close their best work

[l3rian1]

NIce

[xlUBETARUNlx]

Im sorry but he sounds like he doesn't even like the song. He is just reading the lyrics in time with the beat.

The instrumental version of this song would be better.( No singing)

That aside this song being so great is what makes it sound half descent.

[tonydaveginting]

gentlemen sounds..



[eserwuka]

MONSTER!!!

[PatrickLeonDotCom]

sounds like he's reading the lyrics off a sheet........

[WhaleSmacker]

Personal preference, I know, but I think this is absolutely awful.

[pothead1132]

you guys a fuckin idiots he has an amazing voice



[bratley2008]

the vines great australian band

[DrummerRidley101]

Best bit *

[DrummerRidley101]

The hand bit was the bert

[MrMelForet]

Craig is like the perfect mix between Julian Casablancas, Alex Turner, and Nathan from Misfits (Nathan because of his behaviour)

[Samfoote]

Started okay, but the raps sound retarded.

[MrBlackdemon90]

How long ago was this? Because I know Craig fired Hamish Rosser and Ryan Griffiths, to this day theres only 2 members left in The Vines, Craig Nichols and his bass player Brad Heald

[doodoodoodoooo]

....who youthink is kicki....I'm happy ... xD

[MeatOrganConnoisseur]

why.

[Bud052]

Would have been so much better if he hadn't just cut the rap parts in half without even making it flow. That makes almost as much sense as Gorillaz never doing the original rap live, and always doing some dumb other one that nobody knows.

[solidg34r]

JULIAN CASABLANCAS = CRAIG NICHOLLS

[jonathansoens0]

I dreamed Craig and me were sharing a blunt.. Fml..

[tinygiggla]

these guys need to stop ruining good songs for real.

[kpunkcakes]

@tinygiggla I'm really sick of all the comments like this.. why the f**k did you came here in the first place??Go to listen Gorillaz and STFU if you can't enjoy a f**king COVER,even if you don't know what it means..

[tinygiggla]

@kpunkcakes I can enjoy a cover but not if it's shit.and the reason for all the comments like this is because these songs get attached to the music I do actually like and I think you know what I'll give it a try, and guess what the end result is 97% of the time disappointment.

[AtomicChord]

This is a great cover! Kind of funny to watch them reading from the page... If you weren't watching the video, you honestly couldn't tell. It sounds like they've performed it a lot before.

[pestopizza36]

thumbs up if you thought it was Jay from the inbetweeners singing this

[zeLudoo]

This cover is so badass.

[richardnorton1]

Shut up you dog cunts just because it isn't the way you like it doesnt mean it's shit this is a sick fucking cover.

[mull20641]

this is a pretty shit cover of such a good song

[criznittles]

The Vines "Clint Eastwood" is featured on Indie/Rock Playlist: December (2011)

Download here: theindierockplaylistdotcom

[akatsukiawsomness]

Dear god... At least learn the lyrics and actually sing all of them. Have enough respect to actually sing all the lyrics kthanks

[mysty147]

love you boys <3

[sunnybunny59]

i think they need a black guy to rap instead. (to white)

[byroncoley]

@sunnybunny59 can only black people rap?

[calzaggii22]

@byroncoley eminem is not black and he can rap

[dvangarcia]

weelll... hell yeahh thats an amazing cover... (mmm i think im gonna copy them)

[JCCam9193]

\o/ Awesome job on this one but it seems others cant take into account its a "cover" and its not a recorded copy they are actually performing, No song sounds as it does on an album when performed live.

[125barrato]

not bad, not bad....but the gorillaz are perfect. sorry.

[superbam91]

I love the original but this version is so kooky its awesome! For all the haters out there, I know its hard but don't compare it with the original, just listen to the music :)

Oh, and bells for the win!

[katix17]

no like

[cockardo]

He has aspergers, give him a fucking break.

[Curlyman83]

@cockardo Well said. The guy's a fucking musical genius...so what if he needs to read the lyrics (to a song he didn't write!) from a sheet. Some people are just ignorant dicks!

[IChastonI]

@cockardo Uhhh, no. He's autistic.

[cockardo]

@IChastonI

Aspergers comes under the autism spectrum.

[Ravenclawlover]

it's alright, but they didn't really mix it up that much, and yeah, the fact that he is reading the lyrics of sheet is a pretty poor effort, I mean who doesn't know all the words to this anyway?

[YTPTennis]

*I'm Happy, I'm Feeling Glad*

[shadowkid713]

Damon would be proud

[ScoutBaxxter]

well that was like karaoke at my local maybe just a little better

[FistOfDisturbed]

This is fucking terrible...

[CharlesBaudelaire11]

the aspect which epitomises the shittiness of this cover is the fact that he's singing the song reading the lyrics off a piece of paper. if you make a cover, learn the lyrics you dumbfuck

[NotBadYeah]

@CharlesBaudelaire11 Definitely agree. A song this simple surely could have been memorised within 20 minutes.

[Jamzadorian]

Kinda sounds like he's singing through his nose....

[16Niikki]

The vines can make me like just about anything.

[yewbrew]

mad

[ryansbuzzed]

wow. i've never really disliked the vines until i saw this...nice rapping fuckhead

[Sh1pWrecker]

@ryansbuzzed

Keep drinking on that haterade, douche.

Piss off.



[Aerialgrrl]

Craig Nicholls is the sexiest aspie I know, aside from my husband.

[OkComputer412]

Ewww ear rape. I love how the singer can't even be bothered to memorize the simplest verse in the history of music. Makes me sad for Murdoc and co. @__@

[3ntomology]

Sounds like spongebob going through puberty

[pageperpage]

@3ntomology :)) First words he sang made me agree. Very accurate description. Hahahaha 

[eclesiastes14]

@3ntomology fucking funny joke, but he is on key.

[3ntomology]

@eclesiastes14 even if he is, he still sounds stupid

[eclesiastes14]

@3ntomology man, you've won, i can't take it, KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

[3ntomology]

@eclesiastes14 huh? :o

[SwaySuburban]

@3ntomology He really doesn't?

[3ntomology]

@SwaySuburban he really does?

[skahead123]

this cover sucks jut saying

[luxxvincent]

ok so,am I the only one who thinks this cover is amazing?

you don't know the meaning of "cover",shame on you guyz..

[teddyonyszkow]

not bad but awesome

[99Rent]

buffalo18 SUcks !!!

[buffalo18]

sorry but, this is a terrible cover

[MrKulturembargo]

thats nothing new...

and the original is much better...

[Obesepope]

YUCK!!!! If it ain't broke don't cover it. This is actually worse then the snoop dogg version. I got 1.17 into it.

[tom36450]

This is a bit shit really

[MarionGrrrlz]

I wanna eat them :Q____

[TheJoker427]

sounds better than Gorillaz them self ;)

[mahavishnuxc]

@TheJoker427 You're either joking or deaf.

[TheJoker427]

@mahavishnuxc Calm your nipples! Is just my opinion!

[VincentXXXXXXX]

@TheJoker427 Poor you

[moROCKnRoll]

@TheJoker427 Kidding?

[MayadIdub]

i feel like not having any future. this song is cheering me up.

[JessTheSkank]

Some of you people do not understand the meaning of cover, do you? Morons.

[phillip9573]

aload of crap

[TheNormalWhale]

@phillip9573 ALL CAPS RAGE

[iguanamarie]

why do i always hear 'i got useless, but not for long...'?

[doodoobutter101]

i love the sleigh bells

[zegerZEGERzeger]

haha no one can replcace del's rapping.. good cover still

[DisenchantedKill]

They remind me of the strokes!

[Bennyftw94]

Haha this sounds fucked up!

[LethalWiener]

the keyboard kinda ruined it, but even still, it's about time someone covered the gorillaz.

[xXbhenzXx]

@LethalWiener craig is a gorillaz fan, do you know?

[LethalWiener]

@xXbhenzXx There is an interview of him wearing a Gorillaz shirt.. and he did a cover, so this leads me to believe the obvious.

[Sublime3898]

I LOVE THE VINES

[chantal420original]

i got sunshine in a bag

[RobotMummies]

love both bands, but this cover is a bit 'no thanks' for me. gorillaz deserve a little more attention to detail than an extra tambourine lying around and a toy piano.. D: why oh why oh why

[MrNickSimon]

the hand thing at the end is pretty damn beast, must say that

[toxicozzy2k]

who cares about the rapping?! rapping and rap in general is lame!! anyhoo, the vines are ten times better than the gorillaz away, enough said!

[gibsonfan999]

No one can ever rap like Del. im a bit disappointed he tried ruined it for me

[RobotMummies]

@gibsonfan999 Agreed, somewhat, i wish he would have put a little more effort into sounding black. lol or perhaps gotten one of the other doods to do it. as to spice it up a little sumpin' sumpin' or something

[gibsonfan999]

@RobotMummies exactly bro exactly

[stude444]

@RobotMummies if he had put effort into sounding black, other people woulda called him racist, theres simply no winning on the internet my friend, because everything you do or say is going to piss somebody off.

[gjalpo]

I dont know what you think but this shit is fucking great!

[Razoraptor555]

craige nicholls...aspie for the win.

[MaximusHendrix]

@Razoraptor555 ( :

[LeIndieNerd]

i like how hes reading the lyrics the whole time ^.^ no hate. at all. i just thought it was funny

[ngrockyjocky]

@LeIndieNerd I'm quite sure the reason he's reading the lyrics there and then is because they only learnt the song that day to do it in the studio for triple j.

[LeIndieNerd]

@ngrockyjocky its quite obvious that's why hes doing it i just thought it was funny

[davidmar43]

Lets be fair, they're not rappers and Del who does the rap on the original is pretty talented - of course its gonna be hard to recreate.

[Lucent85]

Good job cutting the rap short after eff'n it up so hard. =/

[killabunny08]

bad ass cover!!!!

[paato09]

very good

[AbaKeane]

3:07 Oh maigad, hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah­aha i love Craig!

[Frozen8AdreNalina]

OMG *-* La mejor convinaciooon!!!

[23hitmonlee]

they have good taste...but make your own music for prsenting your band

[rocksinoo]

@23hitmonlee Lol The Vines don't need to be presented...

[cooksey13]

@23hitmonlee the idea of this segment is to cover another bands track in their own style. not to represent their own band with an original song.. you know this right?

[stude444]

@23hitmonlee Epic fail, they have like 4 albums worth of material or something, you fail to realize that this show is where bands cover other songs they like. THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SHOW.

[23hitmonlee]

they have good taste...but make your own music for prsenting your banf

[animatorguy2]

voice was fine, but the amount of effort on the rapping...yeah no

[Gilboa86]

like the vines but this is just lazy

[johnakos16]

you need one black guy for the rapping thing...then will be perfect...!!

[xXbhenzXx]

@johnakos16 theyre kinda grunge

[savethedowns]

like the vines but this is sad... maybe if he put down the lyrics and gave it some feeling. stick to the outkast covers

[TengoAkira]

why

[javimania111]

The Vines + Gorillaz = Me encantaaaaa ^^

[ThePromisedSummer]

@javimania111

bitch please, ME GUSTA!

[UTEMAN8]

this is possibly the best thing ive ever herd! I LOVE THE VINES!!!!!

[lolmayonnaise]

ddrrruuuuuggggssssss

[MrGouldy92]

Drummer dude doesn't know what he's doing.

He's cutting off the last parts of the verses -____-

[misterpulsar]

3:06 O:

[o19car]

no se sabia la letraa :S

[misterpulsar]

@o19car jaja xD verdad pero no creo que le importe mucho :B

[johnnyluvstacos]

Sounds kinda........hollow to me.
