Built to Spill - M.I.A. Paper Planes cover live @ INIT Roma

[mehigh2marsiansky]

man im desperately in need for a proper audio of this

[rkondev]

I love Doug Martsch. So much.

[REDJ37]

This band sux

[jweare333]

These guys are so great to see live. I love the covers they throw into their sets.

[mochalex]

I hope they play this at the Halloween show!!

[LaSexorcisto3]

This is great. Doug's the man.

[nando19751]

i think the clash's song is waaaaay better

[MilkOfSuccess]

What the hell?

Weird cover...

[FatBlackFrancis]

One of my favourite bands but I'm glad I've never paid to see them live, it never looks as though you are missing anything special. Shame. If you don't like playing gigs don't start bands, kids!

[jesseisgroovy]

@FatBlackFrancis Are you kidding? I've seen BTS twice, and both times, they were amazing. Their shows are so intense. I'd see them over any band but My Morning Jacket. Just because they don't jump all over stage doesn't mean they're not having fun. Doug has always seemed so genuinely into it; he packs up his own equipment and says thanks and hello to everyone who comes up to bombard him with the same ol' shit.

[grimlin444444]

@FatBlackFrancis I saw them last night, it was amazing. I would pay to see them again.

[heatherswanson]

@FatBlackFrancis You OBVIOUSLY have never been to their live show! I've been to their show a few times and it was awesome. Neither time did they play any covers, I usually am not impressed by covers :/ I would encourage you to reconsider if they play in your area. They are not very responsive to the crowd, but I have never been disappointed.

[ThatMothersdayman]

Damnit Brett Nelson, always stealing the show!

Let some of the other members of the band have a chance. Jeez.

[XgokkunX]

love built to spill, love mia. cant really connect with this version though :/

[martkra]

Doug is reclaiming the punk from MIA Nice!

[rox20rite45]

Everyone in this band except the singer's leg look like fucking mannequins.

[TheRiteOne100]

random as phuck

[OfficerMcGroist]

strange combination but pretty fuckin sweet

[Alithe1991]

they make it sound like modest mouse

[bilbomarks]

@Alithe1991 fyi modest mouse sounds like them. modest mouse was heavily inspired by bts.

[Goumbush]

Dude looked like he was seizing

[skylineturnstile]

THE CLASH - STRAIGHT TO HELL ( i you all knew this was the original)

[number7gracestreet]

Dude, this lil' 2 minutes got me thru a tough week.

Well, more like ten minutes when you just keep hitting 'replay'....

[acscjm]

Yeah, very cool. Why not?

[ilovezette]

it's different. i like it.

[blakbobspacepirate13]

yes!

[cherylann1977]

well, well, what a lovely surprise. i was just looking for velvet waltz and came upon this. props to joe and the clash. also to doug. and that cellist is gorgeous, too. thanks for posting this, i really appreciate it!

[befuchs]

the bassist is out of control

[veep23]

Agreed... he needs to settle down. I think he wants to take Doug's spotlight. What a showboat.

[stevnricke]

u clever mutherphucker

[smalltymehero]

hilarious!

[emokidsblowdick]

@befuchs i know right! i haven't seen stage moves like that since those energetic show stealers from my bloody valentine...

[krilla]

hahahaha

[heatherswanson]

@befuchs he looks bored

[informalcrabmeat]

@befuchs lol this is my favorite comment ever

[befuchs]

@befuchs

76 thumbs up?!?!? Fuck yeah dude

[costellomaster]

@befuchs he was like that when they played at Higher Ground too. He's all business.

[cloudig]

@befuchs hahaha my thoughts exactly before I spotted your comment

[TheInvisibleCollege]

@befuchs

Marry me.

[noroomforracists]

Craziest cover ever. I would have never expected them to do this song. Love them and the song though.

[looshkin66]

This is fucking awesome!

Seems like doug is just having fun......thats so cool.

[TheShnuz]

Love this version.

[runkmasterfunk]

Tom Morello is terrible.

[jakedharrington]

my fav cover of theirs is clash - straight to hell (song title?)

[SeanSeanSeanCanada]

you do realize this song samples "straight to hell"

[looshkin66]

straight to hell, boy!

[Fitchman]

By far my favorite version :) Thank you for the share

[RileyBBQ]

is it just me, but did Built to Spill go a little cover crazy? Covering this and then "come over" by Tim and Eric Awesome Show.

"some some some i murder, some some i let go" keep it gangsta doug martsch

[reusablecatmilk]

not at all, bands cover other bands. It's not like they're putting the songs on their albums. Its just for the enjoyment of the fans

[CountDukie]

more like the enjoyment of the musicians.

[iforgotmypen]

street sweeper's version is a million times better

[Fitchman]

omg I just looked at their version, it is god awful... you need to get back up in your tree dear before it's to late and you forget where it is and are never ever able to get back there... jesus!

[iforgotmypen]

there are hundreds maybe thousands of paper planes covers. street sweeper is the best.

two words: tom morello!

[cheaptequila17]

what the fuck? shut the fuck up, you have no idea what you are talking about...

[JAPANDAPRODUCTIONS]

thats amazing oh my god

[blanketz0r]

Super gay

[skank1n]

your a douche

[ikariss77]

this is funny, and pretty well done!

[blueingenue64]

Heh, they actually did that song more justice than MIA did at the Outside Lands festival. I'm a fan of hers but she was a little off towards the end of her show. Built to Spill, on the other hand, had a perfect show.

[catfeces]

good song.

good band.

good combination.

[Mariah18888]

i love that song

good job

[terry0794]

he gonna rock his leg off.....lol

[strwbry4]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[kooljsl]

just so you know this song is a sample from the Clash's straight to hell.

[rouguebird]

Hahaha: obnoxious asshole in baseball hat.

[turfvalley]

aww hes just having fun. you should try doing that hand thing when u listen to this, its fun.

[buriedvoid]

@rouguebird If he had no hat and long hair would he still be obnoxious?

[Valerian1]

@rouguebird At least they... took his money. OH!!!!! ;)

[StormOfSwords]

@rouguebird he's feeling it more than you

[mcgowanm095]

@rouguebird Written a year ago yet your comment still resonates with me this day... It seems like every concert I go to that guy is somewhere in the crowd waiting to make an appearance.

[344ratbstrd]

fuck no..MIA's is 10721377034977903 times better

[Hellagoodedie]

its live they could make it nice in a studio we are talking about one of the most tallented guitarists here.

[timmy24h]

You would.

[76evercln84]

sorry but i like paper planes better than "straight to hell"

[suckittwins]

maybe the clash is more respectable than mia, but this is a much better song than straight to hell

[ManicCasanova]

hell no

[devankdevank]

straight to hell kind of sucks, paper planes doesn't.

[tylerxprice]

Paper Planes has broader pop appeal than Straight to Hell, but nothing in Paper Planes is as affecting as the verse around the "Christmastime in Ho Chi Minh City" line.

[ManicCasanova]

hell no

[Mr4scoreand20]

someone needs to do a sick cover of this song like this and then go straight into Straight to Hell

[Mr4scoreand20]

Better than the original.

[76candlelt65]

fuck no, its not

[Mr4scoreand20]

I'm sorry, but the M.I.A. version gets annoying kinda quickly. It's rather dull besides the sample from Straight to Hell which is a much better song anyways.

[SamNecktie]

no it for sure is 342342352345 times better than mia's

[TehZombie]

They better record and release this as a bonus track or something

[whatevarrr]

Is he having a fit?

[ktthegreat1]

this........is amazing.

why m.i.a. doesn't have a band as well as a dj? it would be way cooler, but i doubt many people could its kick ass as much as built to spill.

[Konner]

Fuck yea!

[Outsideforce]

This is fantastic.

You cover that M.I.A., Built to Spill.

[cosmokaschak]

wow jaywalkers version is better

[moe354sa]

click moe354sa above to view "glass guitar pick" on youtube.

[jsmigly]

holy shit...i'm not sure if i should be pissed off or amazed...

[SDRE1005]

don't worry bout it BTS has more indie cred than mia ever will, it's all good.

[SuperCereal15]

can i download this somewhere?

[illusion444]

zappelphilipp-syndrom?

[20BMX5]

What's with the wigger in the front?

[SeanSeanSeanCanada]

god damn that guys is SO fucking into this song, hes the fucking cats meow

[doubtseventhere]

Rock on. :)

[IamCrazyEddie]

doug is the man.

[ImYouAndWhatISeeIsMe]

Best thing I decided to do all day was watch this.

[morningstoner666]

is it selfish to want no-one to know of built to spill?

[GiggyStardust]

HAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAAHAH!

Yes, indie doesn't need you assholes.

[ImYouAndWhatISeeIsMe]

Fuck indie; this matter more than any of that anyway.

[oliverhart77]

ugh im the same way. i hate when normal people catch wind of my favorite low key bands. i like the fact that im the only one of my friends that likes built to spill, neutral milk hotel, bright eyes, etc. so no. lets keep them a fucking secret

[spmrulez]

NMH......good choice!!!!

[beestingsforhannukah]

keep it like a secret

[krissy4nik]

Its pretty selfish....most of us wouldnt like what we like if it weren't for a recommendation. I don't mind good bands getting big. I'd love to turn on my radio and hear built to spill or pavement. It beats the hell out of whats out there now.

[shizambong]

hell yes built to spill and pavement are my two favorite bands

[SpellingBeeMaster]

Oh wow. You're sooooo indie. Everyone look at how indie this guy is.

[thanamesjames]

shizambong, wow, you're really cool. You threw out some awesome bands there! +2 internets!!

[slstratocaster]

noooo i disagree. ive gone through all of high school with very little friends who liked similar music as me. im kinda all over the spectrum with different bands but i hated how absolutely none of my friends liked radiohead. or sonic youth. or built to spill. i guess i love talking to people about music haha, its hard to do without similar tastes.

[ImYouAndWhatISeeIsMe]

People always say this and I never get it. Im in high school and I know at least 20 people that LIKE Sonic Youth, much less know about them. And just about everyone knows Radiohead. Not so much Built To Spill, but Im trying to change that.

And talking about music is always much much better with different tastes. Wheres the fun in droning about how great "Paranoid Android" is?

[geoffreyh55]

Pale Young Gentlemen have the best cover of this song. It's nowhere to be found on Youtube. Just google it and you can find it.

[dawidziwsko]

doesn't even do justice to the original. who are we kidding? good try, though...

[Kafkalist]

I cant believe it, but i love it

[Peltolater]

Dang - I saw them 10 days earlier and I'm pretty sure they didn't play it then... Haha: "B.T.S. first world democracy..."

[dhebiii]

would have been cool

if everyone stopped and the

drummer did three snare hits

to replicate the gun shots....

still rad though

[zepplinjsd04]

Totally agreed

[ZacMagnum]

thats awesome

[scoop2230]

Doug is the man! This is great

[italian4life1993]

the intensity of the singer is amazingly awesome i loved it

[azteko112]

Io c'èroooo  ... è stato un grande concerto..

[BeeCHee87]

ok i think i like this more than the original

[Spontation]

I would give this 6 stars if I could.

[PhatPat7789]

Haha... Doug is the man

[madddouche]

I love this so much.

[sublorange]

Doug seems hilariously intense in this video. like he might actually stick out his guitar like Johnny Cash in "Walk the Line", yell "boom boom boom boom", and shoot someone in the front row with it.

[lostintravise]

That was cool

[Aaronbhkk]

Fucking great.

[ohhshiiiiiit]

that was so dumb

[sohailio11]

Strange choice in covers...

[Torc0]

They're known for that. They did an amazing cover of Macy Gray's "I Try" a few years back. Dunno if there's video of it, but they totally own the song live.

[Pikkiomania]

TOTALE! BANG BANG BANG BANG!
