YouTube - Waz - I Will Follow (U2 cover)

contrast

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

very interesting, I liked that a lot

 

[zooperson]

that's so cool. sounds pretty good, too. It's cool to see younger musicians showing love for u2.

This guy has some nice songs other than the cover. never heard of him before. Thanks gvox!

 

[Zoots]

Beautiful!

 

[lovveu2]

Great version...

Groans, now I need to hear someone else doing it ?! (only in my dreams)

I like stripped down acoustic covers of songs. This is a great example of that, another is M. Wards awesome acoustic cover of Bowie's "Let's Dance"

 

[kingofsorrow]

i rank this cover right alongside the cover of SBS by paramore.

 

[shaun vox]

this cover makes U2 sound like Metal.

 

[zooperson]

that's so cool. sounds pretty good, too. It's cool to see younger musicians showing love for u2.

i rank this cover right alongside the cover of SBS by paramore.

I didn't even know that that cover existed I had to hear it for myself... how did they make that song sound like elevator music?!?!

let me rephrase:

It's cool to see younger musicians showing love for u2... unless those young people are paramore... or bands that are equally shitty.

 

[UberBeaver]

Awww, he sounds so sad. Cheer up, lil buddy! Your name is Waz - that's fucking awesome. I bet people yell out "Wazzzzzz zup" everytime they see you, that's some happy shit, bro. Don't be so down.

 

[DoctorMacPhisto]

I'm gonna have to agree with kingofsorrows' comment.

 

[FitzChivalry]

I'm gonna have to agree with DoctorMacPhisto's comment which agrees with kingofsorrow's comment.



(The dude has a nice singing voice though.)

 

[mysterious_jen]

PHAIL of epic proportions, bloody awful.

 

[LemonMelon]

Sounds like something he worked out in his bedroom after a tough day of bullying and algebra homework.

vs

YouTube - GLAY - WITH OR WITHOUT YOU (U2 cover)

 

[kingofsorrow]

the only thing that's worst than a "emo" cover of IWF is a J-pop "emo" cover of WOWY.

 

[bono_man]

that was a wonderful interpretation. thanks for posting that

[scottyT]

Makes you appreciate how good the lyrics are in a different way.

 

[kingofsorrow]

u'r welcome

 

[Purplereign]

i'm trying to be open minded














trying reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaalllly hard














still trying

















nup . . . given up thought I Will Follow cover was ordinary at best (so sad, methinks he needs a little cuddle ) he has a gorgeous voice though . . . and the GLAY thing . . . . hysterically bad









sorry

 

[VintagePunk]

I'm totally not opposed to people doing covers like this. Often times they can be a cool, unique take on the original material. And the guy does have a decent voice and all that.

But...I found this incredibly bland.

Awww, he sounds so sad. Cheer up, lil buddy!

lol

 

[The Disciple]

Nice.

 

[OrARoundabout]

That was just stupid

 

[gvox]

I think the contrast was a tastefully deliberate reinterpretation of the meaning of the song. Maybe some here forget what it's about

 

[VintagePunk]

Or...maybe we just don't like it.

 

[Catman]

Better than that Vertigo ballad cover, atleast...

Here's a youtube U2 cover I don't mind so much...

YouTube - Stuck in a Moment U2 Cover (Studio Quality Audio)

 

[ahittle]

I find it odd when someone completely changes the chord progressions of songs they cover.

 

[Catman]

Oh yeah, I also like Vanessa Carlton's cover of WTSHNN

YouTube - Vanessa Carlton - Where The Streets Have No Name


...don't judge me...

 

[Purplereign]

Or...maybe we just don't like it.

I'm the first to admit that my insides shrivel up and die when I first hear about a U2 song being covered . . . but I generally try and reserve my initial sceptism until I've listened a few times . . . three strikes and its outsville

I kinda like this one . . .
