Ash - Only In Dreams (Boxed Set, 18.06.2001)

[@lassothierry815]

Excellent cover of one of the best rock song of all time !

[@mike.1]

This is the original

[@underneonloneliness2]

@@mike.1It’s not. Weezer is the original from the 1994 self titled blue album

[@peterobinson2590]

​@mike.1 now now 😂

[@johncabbage6080]

Can't stop watching this. There's just something about this video that takes you to a wholly different place that feels more like home than the time and place I live in now. And it's not really about Ash, Weezer, and it's for sure not about Boxed Set. This video contains a kind of cultural umami, an intangable and unexplainable quality to it, that is able to so tangibly and fully convey something deeper than the bare video itself.

I’ll have what he’s having☝🏼

[@Radiofred]

I was at this show. I did not feel that shit.

[@gingerdanny]

It was at least every ounce of badass as the video makes it out to be, yeah?@@Radiofred

[@llewmills6406]

good job. tough song to pull off. high degree of difficulty in that long guitar passage, very intricate interplay of the two instruments in that long, gradual build. makes me emotional that song. great job

[@holifeet]

Never knew they covered this classic Weezer song. They look like they enjoyed that outro there.

[@gizanked]

Their cover is one of the best of this song. They were also one of the few bands to cover the 2nd half of the song too. So many covers of just the first 4 minutes.

[@holifeet]

@@gizanked When it's such a fun ending who can blame them? :)

[@Housenka03]

@@gizanked Whaaa??? People skip that?? Man that's what makes the song... ( ;u;)

[@MugiWaraNoKenta]

Guys I recommend you to listen to Asian Kung-fu Generation's (J-rock band) rendition to this song, it is amazing and they play with the former bassist from Weezer (Matt Sharp) :)

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

I think they wish they’d written it

[@leeashford2259]

This is an absolutely superb cover! Love the original and I love this

[@BackToBackJames]

Ash is such an underrated band!

[@8Seven65]

Is this the band from Ireland? Otherwise, I can't find them. Do you reccomend an album?

[@BackToBackJames]

@@8Seven65 Yup, they're from North Ireland! My favourite album of theirs is their first album, 1977. I'm still going through the rest of their stuff.

[@IkinBBfromAnthologyOfTheKiller]

Nice to see this song getting a cover. My favourite from weezer, sucks that it gets almost no live performances. It sounds great on this tuning too.

[@abrimfulofasha]

There's a load of live versions of the song by weezer. What you talking about

[@IkinBBfromAnthologyOfTheKiller]

@@abrimfulofasha idk about ya but i haven't found many that are good quality or without too much crowd noise

[@markdavis5374]

Finally got to see Weezer perform this tonight. Was incredible

[@TristanYeah]

I saw Ash play in the Castle Mall in Norwich around this time - they played this at the end of their set. I had a Weezer t-shirt on and at the signing afterwards Mark wrote 'Weezer Kick Ass' and drew the =w= in my copy of Angel Interceptor. Such a great memory

[@bradyfry8031]

Show the drummer some love you guys

[@threeoutchange669]

Girl killed on the guitar

[@marcoamadio5630]

he failed all the notes on the main riff...

[@eichhammer]

you got the spirtit of the original. thank you for the music

[@prolificstudio3505]

i never see ash covers my favourite band..ash still my favourite too😃

[@JeffBevins]

What an awesome job!!!!

[@Instrumentals4Sale]

Thanks for uploading, I watched this the night it aired and it has stuck with me ever since.

[@Ozma2]

I'd kill for a Weezer and Ash Europe tour

[@thevoid99]

no you don't. weezer sucks now. in fact, they haven't made anything decent in more than 15 years and now just do unimaginative covers.

Me too. My two fave ever bands

[@Ozma2]

@@thevoid99 When I saw them 3 years ago they played 8/10 of the Blue Album and minimal songs from the past 15 years. Their live show is still great.

[@chrisvarney6857]

pretty sure they supported weezer in 2019 at brixton academy

[@Ozma2]

@@chrisvarney6857 They did, but 1 night isn't enough!

[@KeonPH]

Not even a single word of Weezer or Cover in the description. Tsk.

[@paolom.6011]

So?

[@themamat]

@@paolom.6011 misleading people to think this is their original song not a cover. They can just at least give some recognition to Weezer. (not that weezer needed any, just courtesy)

[@paolom.6011]

@@themamat In a 2001 BBC session, Ash covered "Only in Dreams", and released the recording as a B-side to the single "Burn Baby Burn". During the 2001-2002 world tour supporting Free All Angels, the band would perform the song almost nightly, and a live version is found on the DVD Tokyo Blitz. They're good mates, people should do their research.

[@MrJungle123]

Agreed. It got a downlike from me.

[@Mansplainer452]

Your comment is fair bro. Ma se gatte

[@zxy4076]

I clicked on this video high thinking it was weezer, I realized it WASN'T weezer a minute in and just started laughing my ass off

[@muhamadilham7676]

The greatest cover legend band played by also legend band

[@otisalmato]

Did I see it right? Mark's bass only has three strings?

[@benettjarell1337]

saw it right you did : )

[@deepeemac]

Only jazz bassists use that string - snap 'em all, I say! Snap 'em...

[@otisalmato]

@@deepeemac jazz bassist mostly five strings or even six strings. but this is not jazz. this is something else. this is punk!

[@BackToBackJames]

Apparently when he was younger the G string would always break, but bass strings are only sold in packs of 4, so he just left it like that.

[@gingerdanny]

start at 11:53:33 to have it drop at new years

[@rankiragusti]

Incredible cover

[@ordinarialocura]

it's a weezer song from the album "blue album" specify that it's a cover

[@arcane6465]

I don’t think the poster knew

[@Trendiver]

Rocked the end ash’s style

[@manuelmolgado4466]

Por algo está canción quedó entre las mejores 50 del mundo según Billboard en cuanto a duetos de guitarra se refiere. Espectacular cover 💥🔥

[@BrotherPaul877]

Sweet cover

[@artvandalay3199]

Not gonna lie. Like the Weezer version a lot better. It flows better

[@ToneSherpa]

I do like how they tried to make it their own though. Like they didn't do a carbon copy of the Weezer version which would be pointless. It's almost like they played it from memory without referencing the recording... which is generally the best way to cover something and make it sound like your own. Pretend it's just your song.

[@no1else344]

They had speed up issues in the chorus which is probably why it feels like it does not flow I agree

[@stefanocaiazzakindergartenchef]

Many love Bro🥰

[@mattcosner8681]

The drummer looks like Dwight Schrute with a mohawk.

Unreal cover

[@むい-s1q]

WEEZERもAshも大好きだから嬉しい!

[@thebigb3ard]

This sounds very similar to a Weser song

[@thebigb3ard]

Only true Weezer fans could cover a Weezer song so well, seen them perform it live at Leeds festival 2001, and it was amazing

[@wesleywehrheim8937]

Well done°

Great cover👍 lame crowd as this was the golden generation of alternative music I'm so disappointed 😕

Can't believe they didn't mention it's a cover song or a mention Weezer what the hell

Underrated shit! Music today is crap!

Weezer! Also distrortion on audio track. :(

Dear lord, it never really hit me how much Tim's vocals held this band back til now. At least pretend like you like the song, holy fuck lol

[@BlueShelly]

At least give credit to weezer grrr

[@jespacey]

the lyrics were undeniably weezer but imo ash did it better...

[@Paul-dw2cl]

nah

[@daddyissues8388]

Yeah no it's a solid cover, but this song is Weezer, you can't get better than that.

[@mr.weinstein4038]

Ein sehr gutes Cover, fast so gut wie das Original. Vielleicht sogar noch etwas besser. CO2 schon als Klimakiller erkannt? Genial.

[@robertinstone1652]

Way better than Weezer there's passion in this

[@BlauveltBurns]

Foreplay guitar music…

Comin in hot with the wrong lyrics right off the bat😂 lost me, I’m out ✌️

[@saucywalnutz]

Only In Dreams is one of my favorite songs ever but Ash is so much better than weezer

[@validobrogang]

no

[@mustardpuddle]

just.... factually incorrect

[@UmbrellaSvcs]

Lmao

[@saucywalnutz]

@@UmbrellaSvcs Keep lmao-ing, bud. Weezer has at LEAST five albums that are ENTIRE shit, while Ash is consistently solid. You might want to re-evaluate everything..

[@UmbrellaSvcs]

@@saucywalnutz I guess it's all about context. Weezer has two really good records and a bunch of great B-sides. Everything else is throwaway. Ash is cool, but I haven't listened to all of their music. I would put the Blue album against Ash's entire catalogue, sight unseen. But that's me. I'm also probably a lot older than most of Ash's fan base since I bought the Blue album new and saw =w= in concert in the 90s more times than I can remember.

[@Yes-tx8bh]

Not a fan of this cover. He gets the lyrics wrong multiple times, they play the wrong notes, no mention of being a cover of weezer

[@EmporioZuagroast]

they play some *different* notes, nothing "wrong" here. this is one of my all time favourite weezer songs, this rendition is beautiful and i hope you went on to listen to something that made you at least half as happy as i was listening to this.
