ORIGINAL CAPTION:
After receiving such wonderful reviews for my 2009 cover of "The Decline," I finally recorded a studio version for "Stolen Songs 2." You can download the full album of covers, punk rock and otherwise, at Take92.Bandcamp.com. Thanks so much for listening.

I sang all the harmonies and ruined it for everybody in the room.

[@apothecary0420]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. :)

[@matthewluckie9730]

Imagine pulling that little doosie out by the camp fire.. Such a great song. Only the truest of nofx fans love this song. You my friend must be one of them. . Well done😊

[@dalto15]

If you have something bad to say about this I would love to see you do better. Probably can’t

[@Bobo--zb9lj]

Very good job...the best punk song from the best punk band in a unexpected version! Congrats!!

[@cedricmuller]

I truly dig that Rivers Cuomo-like voice (I know, this comment seems dumb, but I stick to it, not even deleting it). Lovely!!!

[@mjeckhouse3963]

Damn! Great rendition. I got shivers at certain sections, just like I do with the original. I love the hell outta NOFX. Did 'em justice.

[@manichon]

dude, you should post the tabs, I'd be so greatfull

[@Drakeskullnl]

^---- This, or chords over lyrics.

[@michaelr.4878]

Freaking incredible. Another thing that impressed me was how well his guitar stayed in tune for nearly 20 minutes of playing. Well done, sir.

[@mikeycynic8424]

Fucking beautiful, man. People talk about how punk rock is no more than noise. Yet absolutely love the songs when their done acoustic. It's amazing how punk songs translate over to acoustic.

[@JeanSebastienRicher]

oh my god man! what an awesome play!!!! where can I buy this? I'll give it to all my friends and family and everybody nice to me! Gotta spread the news somebody NAILED the Decline so brilliantly! You're good I love this shit! Voice and guitar is perfect! (and what a song!!) **EDIT** Just realized you give the song away on bandcamp.com ... shit dude, you basically gave me this. That is amazing. I owe you big time.

[@Wolf_Huntsman]

This is the shit! Really, really well done man. Anybody that hates doesn't know what this song is and how much of an accomplishment this is. I think it's great.

[@SammyWarmHands]

Thanks!

[@cheubs]

tes yes yes but he"s singing like is doing for the first time...forcing his voice to the point it gets ridiculous

[@cheubs]

it's a shame you don't have a friend with a bass, another one with some drums and an electric guitar ...+ a real voice and a bit of talent ...you're singing is fun....ny

[@SammyWarmHands]

The 2023 version has cello, female backup vocals, and a much better (not live) performance. And for the record, my voice is used to hardcore punk and battle rap. I just like to sing covers for fun. Give me a break

[@blksapsapiano1185]

talented artist..... he just kinda took the "punk" outta this for me.... He made the song sound "America"... ya i love quotations..... FFF you

[@g3rbl]

That was fucking badass man, I am finally trying to learn this song myself so decided to look up others covers and this is a mean one. Fantastic guitar playing, I wish I knew how you played certain parts. Bravo!

[@SammyWarmHands]

g3rbl thanks, good luck!

[@nikmarshall2989]

This is great, man. After hearing The Decline in it's classic version a million times and always loving it, it was really nice to hear it in a whole new way today. Thanks!

[@apothecary0420]

Spotless. One of the trickier punk songs, executed masterfully here. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@gonzalvezfabien5041]

Great interpretation ! Awesome and top dude, Fat Mike will like this solo version :)

[@bigwicka]

its an acoustic version of a fast heavy punk song you moron !!! ya he should definitely be note or note ? dumbass...... Great job man

[@wkeene84]

You are a fucking stud. Killer vocal tone. Tight rhythm through all 16+min, I'm impressed as I've ever been by a KZbin acoustic cover!

[@bugaboo527]

This is great! In my top 5 NOFX songs and its a damn hard song to play...as someone else mentioned NOFX can't even play it lol.

[@ffxivfingolfin]

hell this is great ^^ i expected some shit when i read NOFX cover ^^ and then i watched this here ....lol great job you have some talent dude

[@gemmyadyendra4992]

what an amazing acoustic cover. Great job, and nice head ever. haha

[@damasiowerneck]

And there are still people who say that punk rock is just noise ...

[@tada8738]

very good!

[@brentgould958]

Fuck yeah

[@yourgardens]

Dude that was not what i expected... WOW Acoustic special edition.

[@jhager1]

This is amazing man...really fucking cool. GOOD WORK!!!

[@sognametalwindir5212]

Fuck yeah. Good work man. Best song ever

[@shaunmateri9549]

PLEASE TELL ME WHY THERE'S ONLY 72K VIEWS!!! this is great!!!

[@SammyWarmHands]

Thank you! Check out my new version from 2022, it’s much better!

[@SSteelePA1]

This was awesome! Nice cover...

[@olasgrande113]

Great job, long time NOFX fan and I really enjoyed this.

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Wow! Love it, this song is one of my ALL time faves!! 👍👍

[@UnravellingFallacy]

The first time I listened to this I didn't like it very much. Now that I've listened through a few times as it has shown up in suggested videos I think I might actually prefer this to the original. Great job man, you should be really proud of this. Few people have the skill and dedication to learn this song, let alone learn to play it so well. Any chance you have the tab for this version?

[@ViniAndradeMusic]

Yea. Everything is about the moment. And the present rule them all.

[@xinoon87]

The best song of Nofx!! Thank for the work!! Greetings from chile!

[@kraljstocara]

well played, sir!

[@SammyWarmHands]

Thank you! Check out the 2022 version, it’s much better!

[@liammcgrath7051]

This video is grossly underviewed

[@christiancleland1325]

Greatest song ever written. Good job

[@SammyWarmHands]

Thanks! There’s also a 2022 version on my channel that’s much better

[@timlloyd7711]

Props. Very well done.

[@marcsfortaner]

I don´t want to think about messing the song at minute 14:00 when recording it. Great work!!

[@MrPunkCesar]

Awesome man!

[@1984dita]

Great work, bro!!!!

[@nachumpesta]

enorme, dolape!! (look for an argie to translate it hehehehe)

[@aaronmcgarrigle6170]

Holy shit AMAZING MAN!

[@stevehirsch8413]

Played it really good... I like the original better with electric guitar and drums because it sounds more angry... it's The Decline...

[@mikemorgan371]

Brilliantly done. Wow.

[@stevec9143]

this is amazing!!!! and as someone below says, quite an achievement!!!

[@simulacrumb]

Well done, friend. An excellent interpretation of one of the greatest songs of our generation.

[@evy613]

Totally nailed it man

[@Bobo--zb9lj]

WoW!!! Malade!!!

[@SocialGore]

Were you chewing on whatever is was that you coughed up @ 0:11 ?

[@SammyWarmHands]

@godsizedhole Remnants of a granola bar, I'm afraid.

[@davidalehman]

I was somewhat skeptical at first, but I ended up really liking it.

[@SocialGore]

@singularxxx Don't be afraid. I'm here with you.

[@shaggydayvo704]

666 like ... The irony. ;)

[@fando85]

Great job, dude 🤘

[@comunidadedospensadoresliv4240]

Muito bom!

[@dustycybin3310]

it's ok I guess

[@dodisugata1]

U did it man!

[@milanthedrummer]

5*

[@kirbyspencer]

Awesome :D

[@moyno85]

fkn awesome

[@richardwilson487]

i hate to be a jerk, but a little too much liberty with the strum rhythm. Plus, i like the hammer on minor in the first D chord after the intro. :/ Overall, I know how long it takes to learn this fucking song though, so kudos on that!

[@SammyWarmHands]

It's an adaptation. I'll be sure to run any changes by you next time.

[@richardwilson487]

wow. someone got butt hurt. I said i wasnt trying to be a jerk. But that lacking hammer on d minor kinda sounded like you dont really know how to play the song. I was just trying to be subtle. :/ Oh, and if you cant take criticism, why r u putting up shitty versions of great songs on the internet? Covers are supposed to improve on a song, not ruin it. lol

[@SammyWarmHands]

You're right. I don't know how to play the song. I made up this version instead. Thanks for your continued support.

[@richardwilson487]

Wow. Butthurt city, population you. Your not gonna make it with skin this thin. :(

[@jadowarcadia6227]

Richard Wilson Dont know about you but I dont think Sam Wartenbee is the butthurt one here...

[@johnwhorfin5150]

I vote NO

[@wayd19]

wow dude this is awful
