Paramore (Cover) - Ain't It Fun - Foxes and Fossils

[@craigcampbell8560]

I think we all hated to lose Maggie, but had she not left for college we would have never known how incredible Chase is. Who knew we NEEDED three foxes until Maggie came back and we had three incredible female singers with completely different voices that happen to blend together PERFECTLY. Chase absolutely KILLS this song!

[@joemcdonald5262]

This is the most underrated of the F&F performances. Chase at 15 is fabulous and Sammie can just harmonize with any style singer. The Fossils are outstanding!! what a lively performance.

[@StuartMStrickland]

Sammie on the air drums at 3:05. Never noticed that before! Johnny, watch out, you have competition!

[@polarbear1412]

Sammie looks like she is having so much Fun !!! The audience loves that I sure do!!!!

[@jimbo7081]

Scott King just slaying that bass guitar of course Scott left his signature on all his recordings we'll miss you Scott

[@kktruran]

He really did!! My favorite bass player! We miss him so much!

[@phillipmullis7904]

Scott was a beast on the bass. The whole band was fantastic.

[@richardoram6959]

Hmmm, was there a unique moment in the intro? I've watched this many times and I'm sure there's an unexpected note and Sammie looks puzzled and then looks at Tim who grins. No-one misses a beat but it's a great moment that happens when you play live. Thanks for all the pleasure you guys give.

[@John_Hazeldene]

A criminally underviewed performance - vocal and instrumental interplay at its finest.

[@siskokidd]

Definitely a high level test to pull this one off so well.

[@johncarter155]

Agree completely..... and as 2021 draws to a close, still less than 200k views? Some of the videos with the fewest views are my favorites

[@patrickscully4786]

That crowd had no idea what they just witnessed! None. Fortunately for tye rest of the world, Tim had this recorded. Thanks for the fantastic producing and letting us enjoy your music! Rip 🙏 to the best bass player Scott! He had so much fun in his soul that showed the world how much he loved the music! He will forever be here work us in spirit! 💖💝

[@delang65]

I agree that was such an excellent performance

[@millercgr]

OMG are you kidding me! These guys can sing and perform anything. They bring everything they do to another level. Just incredible how tight these guys are. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@edwarddurbin3586]

Miss Chase Truran shining on lead vocals here... She was only 15 here but already she was giving us a taste of her wonderful vocals we've come to love more and more regardless of genre....

[@tigerhawkz4402]

Like a lot of you i’ve never heard of Paramore so i go back and listen to the original. Then i realize the Fox and Fossil version blows it out of the water (imo) Chase and Sammie are just lit, beyond talented cover and arrangement. I’m a sucker for a musical pop hook line, this song is it. C’mon F n F fans way more views of this required ! !

[@brookslarry730]

Totally agree!

[@michael0765]

Just did the same & totally agree with you!

[@howardchasser9100]

OMG! So with you. I've done it on a few songs by F & F - this is at least the 3rd one better than the original!!! Incredible!

[@alanbelancik2207]

So, if you like Paramore covers, go back and watch the original version of "Only Exception". You'll confirm your belief that F&F can cover (and improve) any song... although the Paramore version is very touching when you see the "backstory".

[@dclements54]

working on it! at least my 20th view.

[@waynelougee9528]

Chase is so powerful

[@johnvvv3616]

I like your version a whole lot better van the original you guys knock it out of the park

[@davidlevine1697]

their playlist is so eclectic it makes them so hard to beat. they seem comfortable with a foray into any genre. the mark of truly gifted musicians.

[@rutherfordhaze]

Check out their version of MR. SANDMAN, if you want a total eclipse of genre. :] :] :]

[@mikelowitz]

Big Paramore fan and have never heard a more faithful, respectful performance capture the energy of the original song…the vocals yah I heard some that approach those here, never have I heard the musicianship combined with the vocals at the correct pace…not rushed…rendered faithfully to the original…well done all the bases covered and the same pace of the music spot on. This is how vocal excellence and musicianship on very difficult song are rendered. Wow.

[@rutherfordhaze]

Scott really UNDERSTANDS the place of bass. Among the best ever! - RH, age 68, Prague, bass player

[@BarneyDavey]

Wow! What a gem. Performed the same night Sammie blew away Nobody Love. Oh, to be transported there for a magical night.

[@tdswift4172]

They had a good night.

[@writeheiney]

Wow, wow, wow. This band is so hot. Every musician is awesome. Imagine going out and seeing these crazy good musicians live. Priceless.

[@Vikezupa]

Dang it. I’ve said it too many times but Chase’s voice...what a find. Sheesh. And listen to Sammie nail the complex harmony part. These folks are great! Tim, I think you’re a musical genius.

[@Marc-yh1rd]

It just floors me how Sammie is so secure, comfortable and confident in being back up vocal so much. I mean we all know she's absolutely capable, and her father is in the band. I mean someone with an ego would want to be out front most of the time. Not Sammie though, she knows what works, she knows what fits. She's secure with herself and professional. Her character and dispositions blows me away. What an amazing talented singer. What a Awesome young lady.

[@lynwessel2471]

Sammie sang about as many leads as Maggie/Chase .These girls grew up singing in choral groups where the teamwork of harmony is emphasized.And yes Sammie's harmonizing is outstanding especially when singing above the others ,not easy to do.

[@russyeatman5631]

Chase is 14 or 15 in this video

[@JayJoJonny]

These girls put a smile on my face

[@EtzEchad]

All three Foxes could be professional singers. It is truly amazing how consistently high quality has come out of F&F.

[@Vikezupa]

Johnnie Pike back there slaying the drum kit. Well done!

[@siskokidd]

There's so much going on in this song rhythmically, and Johnny owns it. They all do, but we're talking drums here! Giving JP his due!

[@JJ-kf2uk]

Chase has definitely earned her place on that short list of Foxes! As usual this band remains pristine talent and class.

[@jonwinder6622]

They always on point with all their songs, ESPECIALLY the vocals

[@jimmierendorf4825]

This is their best rocker! Love to crank this, driving bass, great vocals, and just a great beat!!!

[@polarbear1412]

I would have loved to be in the crowd that night purely magnificent!!

[@raymondcarl1804]

Chase kills it!! Sammie rocks the harmony with Tim

[@COLDB33R]

The best thing about these videos is how everyone looks to be having fun making great music. Some comments on several F&F videos lament that 'the band broke up' when Sammy and Maggie went to college. I highly doubt anybody stopped singing or playing, after having that much fun doing it.

[@lavmi79]

David Tingley Correct, they just took “time off” as “The Foxes” went off to college and started careers. They never broke up, but have you seen the 3 videos since Oct 16, 2019 and their newly updated website foxesandfossils.com ?

[@tomjes5602]

Nobody complained when the Eagles took a fourteen year vacation. F & F only took three and are coming back stronger than ever. The vocal mixes and songs will be interesting.

[@kellyjimenez8984]

Is there anything they can't sing. I ABSOLUTELY love this group. ❤❤❤🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

[@razorsharpe3371]

The perfection I’ve become accustomed to when listening to this amazing band . They simply never disappoint.

[@armstronglance]

Excellent harmonies! Can’t believe how good this live recording is.

[@joelb099]

One of the best covers of this song without a doubt... Sound quality is excellent and voices are strong..nice job!.

[@PJ688]

Um WHAT?! That harmony came out of NO WHERE!

[@lynwessel2471]

Great harmony is their trademark.

[@bryanwest3639]

My thoughts exactly. Will gladly make the 8 hour trip from west central Ohio

[@John_Hazeldene]

They also performed ‘To Sir With Love’ at this show with Chase on lead vocal and Tim and Sammie playing opposite ends of the same keyboard. The audio can be purchased from their website on their live CD or as a digital download.

I have really enjoyed all the music they have been doing. Maggie and Sammie are great, but Chase adds a funk vibe that just wasn’t there before. Keep it up!

[@juicemcnorway]

You guys are the best cover band I have ever heard. I’ve just been listening to one video after another. It’s just so spot on, like a touring professional band. I’m addicted. I’d go on vacation just to listen to you guys/ladies play in front of a cafe. Stellar.

[@dougsalzmann2752]

Yup. The drummer is Johnny Pike. Background on the band and the personnel: foxesandfossils.com

[@deanbell5076]

One of your (many) fans commented on one of your other videos that the band was "in the pocket". I think that that is what F & F has in spades - the ability to have voices and instruments meet so many times at that sweet spot that make songs and music transcend individuality and merge into something so special it can touch your soul. Wow, that was a mouthful, but this video was another example of you guys nailing if without any extra ego or unnecessary crap - just a joy in making the music that really shines through. Please keep it up!

[@bryanwest3639]

Excellent post. They are a special group no doubt. Hope to see them live in person one day

[@xhefriguitars7946]

Bass player is fantastic!

[@jimmierendorf4825]

Absolutely killer line!! He's great in so many songs!

[@Brucev7]

'Master Glue'

[@COLDB33R]

The rhythm section in general. Johnny Pike turns in quite a performance on this tune. Just listening to it again for maybe the tenth time it strikes my how much heavier the bottom of this tune is than the top. If you listen to just the bass and drums it's pretty close to metal. Much more of a pop tune 'up top' with the vocals, guitar and piano.

[@whytehorse369]

Been listening to Foxes and Fossils now for three months. Man, your sound guy/people and the mixing is off the charts! Raw talent is a blessing but sound mixing requires skills that can't be taught. Absolutely amazing sound!!

[@richardsherwood6963]

Dale White I agree with you. I’ve also posted a request for a video of behind the scenes. Who is responsible for the audio mix and the equipment used. I hope they will.

[@lavmi79]

Richard Sherwood Tim does almost all post performance work. I’m not a Sound engineer, but Tim explains elsewhere in these thousands of comments, that (in my simple layman’s mind & interpretation of what he said), is that each instrument and voice is recorded in its own track as they perform live and in “post performance mixing” this makes a big difference. I should add they sometimes have a “sound guy” on a board of some type during performances. On occasion you can see/hear Tim communicating with him.

[@petervanderwaart1138]

Absolutely! The balance of the instruments is a big reason they sound so good, especially the way you can really hear the bass.

[@StuartMStrickland]

@@richardsherwood6963 It exists. It's on their Patreon. A couple of them, in fact. Might not be at the introductory level, but I've found it worth what I send them every month.

Look up Halocene, who also mostly do covers although they do some of their own too. Another is the Monalisa twins who do a lot of Beatles covers as well as other 60s music and some of their own too. So good they actually performed at the Cavern Club in Liverpool and then got a residency there. one of the things I like about KZbin is the number of very talented musicians, singers and bands you can discover serendipitously across youtube.

They have never had all eight band members in the same place at the same time. One's in Boston, one's in Iowa City, one's in Virginia somewhere, one's in Nashville. The rest are somewhere around Atlanta. The logistics of even getting together to practice or record is nigh impossible, so they video in place and Tim strings it all together in his studio.
