Some things...

? Sorry if this is your band.

? Sorry but I didn't know where else to post this.

? Sorry but I can't stop laughing and had to share.

That is pretty bad, but I think this gives them a run for their money.

Yes... however... those are kids playing "punk rock", not Europe covers. At least they have some sense of taste. :D

That chorus is priceless, though.

Ehh, they're playing pop music their parents listened to, it's just as bad really.

I felt sorry for the kids in the school talent show, because they were young enough to not know how bad they were (hey, you gotta start somewhere).

I felt sorry for myself for curiously following the link in the original post because I'll never get those moments of my life back. The lack of tempo and phrasing from the keys, and the complete lack of everything from the singer. That sucked so hard it gave my computer screen a hickey.

Likely, we all played songs at least that badly when we were starting out. I know I did, and sincerely hope I've improved.

I was drinking iced tea and when that keyboard intro started I almost gaged and had to run to the sink to spit it out I was laughing so hard. Then about 10 seconds later I took another sip, and then the vocals came in and once again I had to run to the sink to keep from spitting tea all over the place.

The best part is at the beginning, the bass player hyperventilating, trying not to fuck up the part...and fucking up the part.

Sincerely sorry about that. :wink:

I love the fact that those kids run away in horror at the beginning of the video. Oh, and immediately after the keyboard player fucks it up, the singer has the audacity to turn around and shoot him a dirty look, and then proceed to "croon" like that!

And that drum fill before the solo is fucking priceless.

are you sure the best part isn't the LED's in his fretboard?


edit: on another note, i can't believe that fucking douchebag is wearing a minor threat shirt.

even better is Tori Amos covering 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' while wearing her Rick Wakeman cape.

cos y'know "i really enjoy listening to piano interspersed with the sound of boogers rattling around in someone's snotlocker".
