BADBADNOTGOOD & Jonti cover The Beach Boys 'God Only Knows' for Like A Version

[@matthewlacson641]

Was kind of missing the vocal layering that makes so many of the Beach Boys songs great, but the ending where the instruments gradually take over the vocals was amzing

[@petitnicollas]

I wish we could get both the vocals and their amazing sound.

[@Empero-Sanguine]

Totally

[@sonofan403]

That drum work is so impressive.

[@HarperNguyen]

Chris Luciantonio I saw them live, and it was the only time I’ve ever seen a drum played standing up.

[@danzoil]

These guys sound like they all met at jazz school.

[@borntobelogical]

indeed.

[@NeonTiger666]

yea they did

[@tomsenior3392]

Groovy

[@SilhouetteLifter]

bassist shooting for that Carol Kaye tone, as he should

[@bradylowry2900]

The percussion in this song is on point

[@beats6309]

The beginning made me feel like in a Hey Arnold episode

[@say12thebear]

BADBADNOTGOOD seriously nailed the "wall of sound" thing that Brian did with Pet Sounds. I love this so much

[@BatmanandZorro]

Loving the bass tone here

[@13dirty666]

These dudes are just straight up way too talented

[@callmetony7143]

The bass, drums, and piano sold me on this one! Really nice.

[@gusaholic]

bill from freaks and geeks on the piano

[@olmava]

I listen to this song at least once a day

[@JULIAtalk]

bbng's arrangements always have reminded me of the pet sounds recording sessions so it's nice to see this rendition/tribute.

[@robertsullivan886]

they should so do a proper recording. totally nailed it. love seeing great covers

[@STAG162]

Great cover, very unique. Sublime and intense all in one, esp. at the end.

[@Rauulra]

That's a nice and soothing voice.

[@rikspan1925]

Saving the best Like a version for the end of the year. I love it :)

[@808kiker]

These kids get it.. Super-talented!

[@michaelstuart341]

More like GOODGOODNOTBAD, amiright?

[@beefwreath2856]

this joke was on fire in 2010 my dude

[@michaelstuart341]

Sorry, wasn't aware of it.

[@tealfisher]

good good

[@willscott7191]

god damn it MORTY

[@kennyg03]

Great choice for them. This song is jazz chords galore and they nailed it.

[@attilazatila]

this always makes me think of my mom❤️ thank you😢

[@aldinga50]

Fantastic!!!!!!! Go drummer man!!

[@TheMusehobo]

Noticed one vocal mic and didn’t think it could work. But removing all the harmonies allowed the beauty of the instrumentation to shine. Great job.

[@LightRoll789]

badbadnotgood are my favourite band. So pissed I missed their show.

[@scottynicholls5853]

it was intense. I'm guessing you're referring to their gig in Richmond, Melbourne?

[@LightRoll789]

Scotty Nicholls Brisbane.

[@jamescanberg9649]

That sucks, I've seen them twice! So much energy, love their dynamic on stage.

[@scajl]

Been watching these all afternoon, this might be the best one of the whole series. WOW!

[@gretagarbeige]

I love Brian Wilson so much I was ready to hate it, but I had such a lovely time. Kudos to the band !

[@generaldom]

great build up at the end

[@Targüs42]

What a great song choice and performance.

[@craigwilson5165]

Brilliant Great cover of one of the most beautiful songs ever

[@jamieyoung6008]

Hate to say it but... Best like a version ever...

[@whiteflour1]

I occasionally come back to this video and I must say, every time I come back I like it a little more. I didn't much care for it first time I heard it but I really rate it now tbh

[@whiteflour1]

I came back to this comment to say it grew on me enough to make it to my top ten votes for the like a version hottest 100! One of my all time favourites now🤝

[@JULIAtalk]

oh my god why is this is this so amazing

[@Michael-fs1cw]

BEEAAAUUUTTTIIFFFFUUULLLLLLLL

[@jordanwanefalea9349]

Absolutely gorgeous

[@djthankgod]

wish this were on spotify!

[@benashlin8845]

BBNG, Toronto's finest! I can't believe I never found this before.

[@magdamarin1957]

and let the angels fly... beautifulll version!!

[@lachlanmaclean6506]

These guys prove why drummers (and all musicians) really gotta study jazz on some level to be serious musicians, just makes you a level above garage bands

[@blairchartrand2447]

No.. Just no

[@_baalshamin]

Beautiful

[@user-rb5sm4xe6d]

Easily My New Fav Song! I Love Like A Version, There given artist a great platform to do there own music or a remake. Classics are extremely hard to pull off while putting your own touch on it & keeping it a classic. These guys are very underrated & I love the talent/creativity.

[@George-dt1qd]

The drummer is incredible

[@scottelane]

This made me happy

[@SnakeyJakey]

WOW! MIND IS BLOWN!!!

[@cm410856]

easily the best like a version of 2016 in my opinion

[@billyparham630]

hansen kills is on the bass in the build up part, really seals it, amazing

[@MrJimihendrixrocks]

Is this bill haverchuck on keys ❤️

[@wulantsabita9843]

if this is bad i wouldn't want anything good anymore

[@SilhouetteLifter]

isn't that a Modest Mouse lyric

[@wulantsabita9843]

+Stuart Ayers idk, which song?

[@SilhouetteLifter]

I remembered what it reminded me of: "If life's not beautiful without the pain, well I'd just rather never ever even see beauty again." from the song The View

[@davidsabethai2633]

lol love that reference

[@donnyberger3187]

Most underrated like a version

[@adrianpadlan7145]

Such a beautiful rendition it hurts

[@gastonstinger]

AMAZING COVER

[@Billybongsterhut]

Absolutely banging... Nailed it legends.

[@estebansepulveda]

Awesome, thanks

[@byronsigrano6849]

Just amazed to see a Conn New Wonder II being played on Triple J.

[@ayr101]

smooth

[@thomasoates-carson2322]

For me, it ties up that building wall of sound BW wanted with hints of the old BB. A damn fine recipe of music.

[@yule3907]

Not many other bands on like a version play old songs. I really fucking enjoyed that it was so different.

[@trojanlorrie]

That's a decent like a version well done guys loved it!!!!!😛

[@jai97guit]

Beautiful version

[@eloise655]

I think Brian Wilson would like tis ..its so lovely

[@cristopheralansalasnegrete3]

fugg man i love this so much

[@williamfox2149]

Drummer an absolute madman live

[@llamapie24]

The piano player looks different, is that still Matthew?

[@sadehuh2004]

nah matt took a break from touring/shows, thats james one of their friends filling in.

[@borntobelogical]

Where did you find that out, Sade?

[@borntobelogical]

since when?

[@qqqqqq-jd4el]

the asian tour without China. CRYING

[@blockhead5124]

I see these guys tonight, WOO!

[@arthurmezak3112]

Anyone know what kind of bass that is?

[@rarethen9]

magnificent cover!

[@ceyf8724]

this is great!

[@davidsabethai2633]

jonti and badbadnotgood!!!!

[@Josias907]

Sooooo beautiful...

[@destineeshai]

that bass tone Is tHICC AF

[@jckzz]

This was special.

[@trickster_qc]

Damn that's a solid cover!

[@LukeMonet]

Would love to see BBNG do a cover of Pet Sounds (the song), reckon they would nail it.

[@RoberoKirk]

Really like!

[@importantname]

coffee house jazz for breakfast.

[@GucciBoiDorian]

The guy on the piano looks like Logic if he was full white and not mixed 😂

[@Non-actor]

getting Jonti wit it~!~

[@maxspencerkarinen6463]

everyone go vote for this in the like a version hottest 100 its clearly the best one

[@baselineleaner1064]

BBNG are really good. This cover is up there with Betty Everett's face-melter that is compulsory listening for all children under 12 and over 12. Trust us/The Process.

[@Frozenflutter]

HOLY SHIT, JONTI AND BBNG???? YESSSSSSSS

[@docmcbungas3303]

So hard to not compare to the original, but its damn good

[@mcchickenmcdicken]

Started amazing. Turned into the Siberian discount cruise version of the song and my inner B-Wils almost died... and then boom! Killer ending. Like a sandwich with rotten tofu between the fluffy beautiful bread slices.

[@Pillysrule]

Supa hot fire

[@torontorox]

this rox!

[@stub2022]

Good work.

[@timothybrozowski8812]

this sax player reminds me of the one on Jerry Paper's tune time raw

[@Hotdogwaters]

They helped out on his album

[@yungjoemighty879]

The thing is, you’re unlikely to get any band as technically talented on the show as these guys are

[@Guidonator181]

Dammit, I thought it said BADBADNOTGOOD ft. Jonsi, as in the singer from Sigur Ros. I'm like "well this'll be interesting".

[@EB240]

I love this song, but you need the harmonys in there, well because it's just better

[@scottsummers7342]

What bass model is Chester using?

[@beepbeep2446]

Eargasms as always

[@NoBrakes23]

Not my cup of tea, but still a good, interesting cover.

[@BretM]

crying at how much i hate your stupid ahh comment

[@TheMicme]

People can have opinions, guys

[@NoBrakes23]

I hope they are big, salty tears.

[@NoBrakes23]

You have it backwards, mate.

[@SchuKing]

Wouldnt music be boring if everyone liked the exact same songs?

[@etcetcau]

BEST

[@LachlanGB]

Sick cover, though was the mixing a little out with the vocal? Almost got washed out at the end there.

[@henryhill92]

That was intentional man, they ran it through some effects for that part

[@OHHnoYOUdidntMAN]

Henry Hill yeah but the volume should have been adjusted accordingly

[@henryhill92]

JustSpencer No I mean they intentionally made his voice wash into the mix. Why 'should' they do anything when making artistic decisions?

[@JayPee28]

Yeah the dynamics of all the instruments increased so the vocal being 'swallowed up' made sense, adds to the emotional isolation of the song and all that blah blah blah artistic crap

[@danbenson2445]

What the hell is that Bass? Tone wise it’s like some hybrid of a Fender Precision and a Gibson Explorer. Sounds brilliant!

[@TheZoomoftheWell]

this is weird. its like jazzy kermit the frog. i like it.

[@flaaressence]

This is so good. Going to make some room in my top 10

[@hamiltonasseiro6671]

Excellent rendition!

[@janpangilinan2979]

Done right👍

[@jamescook1398]

Beach Boys just isn't the same without the harmonies but these guys did a great job!

[@lpcolreavy]

The introduction is reminiscent of Jack Dejohnette’s Lydia
