Brought here because of Weezer playing Pumped Up Kicks.

[@chloecamille5390]

saaaame!!!

[@ELEcomments]

Same!

[@TheGlooSniffer]

I hate mongoloids

[@trock81334]

Close2thEdge And they did it just 8 days apart.

[@TheMan750]

Same here

[@AnarchyApple]

I like how both these bands cover each other.

[@alexmorales1124]

JOY RIDE YESSSS

[@foofpilled]

Like when Weezer covered "Teenage Dirtbag" by Whetus and Wheatus covered "My Name Is Jonas"

[@julialuanna]

I'm still waiting for radiohead to cover cant stop partying

[@EchaFahreza_]

@@julialuanna 🤣🤣

[@bp4861]

S’dont need the word “both”

[@Kelipsol]

only 8 days after Weezer covered Pumped Up Kicks. This is a sweet way of saying "I heard that you covered my song and it means a lot to me".

[@chrisclimo1265]

they "get" each others songs , and this sounds great too

[@1ManNamedDan]

Right how much fire is that! Paul McCartney's favorite memory of the song "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is Paul watching Jimmy Hendricks play it live at a club down the street from his house just a week after the record was released!

[@vuduman78]

+pluckernil And these guys learned the lyrics!!

[@JesusCommando]

You could tell he LOVED singing that absolute classic!

[@kapski_]

The audio made me think my headphones were broken.

Same

[@tassadar419]

I love how anywhere this gets sung by any band....everyone knows the lyrics. This is one of my favorite songs to karaoke to.

[@jtgfletch62]

This song will never be complete without rivers and that lightning strap

[@IanZWhite00]

Every time the bass drum hits, the rest of the sound drowns out. What?

[@luke73tnt.]

Because it's cool cool

[@michaelarredondo6401]

Ian White technical audio reasons. basically the microphone can't record it, because it's probably from a phone

[@TheGlooSniffer]

I would've liked this, but the audio sucks, so I'm leaving a dislike instead.

[@Caylo321]

Ikr it makes me feel like my head is pounding

[@rileymerino6340]

In production that's called side chaining. But it's usually done intentionally

[@beaconhill421]

Wow, and weezer plays pumped up kicks. This is a great rendition.

[@dannyprovolonefrithbeats]

lol they didn't want to tune down so the singer just took the g#s and hit em like a champ

[@cmoneystudios4813]

danny provolone shut the fuck up, quit trying to flex because you know basic guitar chords

[@Snandra66]

@@cmoneystudios4813 How's this a flex lol

[@ThrashAsh]

@@cmoneystudios4813 He's literally stating that the singer decided to sing the higher note and not tune down like the original song, this has absolutely nothing to do with knowing guitar chords

[@cmoneystudios4813]

ashton neil it has everything to with that. You just said he kept the guitar in standard. Meaning guitar chords. You just contradicted yourself in one sentence. Nice

[@ThrashAsh]

@@cmoneystudios4813 Standard has nothing to do with chords, it's literally what the guitar is tuned to, it's the key of the song, not the chords played. The key is higher is what he's stating in the original comment, The G# is the note the singer usually doesn't have to hit because the guitar isn't in standard tuning, but in this cover it is in standard meaning, he has to hit a higher note than the original song, meaning G#

[@BlackCrownRC30]

this was done 5-6 days after weezer covered pumped up kicks

[@sept8103]

i feel like it was a dick measuring contest

[@KCgrunge]

when somebody plays a solo : FILM IT is it so hard to understand?

[@antonionsfw]

i think he has the same guitar of brian

[@AudioGardenSlave123]

Lena Gotti I didn't get why they ignored that either. Must've been caught up in listening.

[@crimson1718]

They must have thought the solo was coming from the red tele 😂😂

[@LOLAP95]

Not impressive either way.

[@tndrme1]

Blah blah blah. Everyone is suddenly a music critic. Who cares? Maybe they just enjoy each others music and what a cool bonus to get to watch and hear the 2 bands covering ieach others songs.

[@816am2]

I cant be the only one who loves watching bands covering other bands out of respect

[@RockyStradlin]

Imagine If They get a more Alt. Rock sound for their 3rd album!

[@nedwawrzyn3549]

Ya Ik I really want them to become an alternative rock band

[@RockyStradlin]

Ned wawrzyn I want to but not at all, I mean they can keep their piano a electronic songs but They should add more guitars!

[@joaorupp3343]

that didnt happen haha, they turned in to pop band :(

[@mywaterparksromance1822]

João Rupp Mark said he has been listening to a lot of punk rock so the next album could be punk kind of more like lotus eater lol

[@EpicN1ck]

Haha. Rip that dream.

[@kyledavis3524]

this is actually a decent cover

[@antonionsfw]

yes it is

[@harizwain4969]

But need that matt sharp high pitch 😂

[@ggomlet6519]

The like count is exactly 69

[@yuuyjaaj6721]

Not just decent, but pure good

[@dnmcfall]

Foster the people you love with love. Show them the way that you feel.

[@fpanpurr]

That Weezer dude taught Foster this song years ago. They are friends and I think both groups do a fine job on this tune. Rock On!

[@scottcreek942]

wow the bass drum has a cool sounding effect because of the shit camcorder quality. I LIKE IT

[@thelastoneontheplanetearth]

me too ;p

[@julienstercke]

I'd like to hear this with a good audio, because I love Weezer and it sounds really good even though everything is like muted when the drums play loudly.

[@tomyettimcneal]

this guy reminds me of Liam McPoyle from Always sunny ))

[@Caylo321]

I love how they cover eachother's songs x) Both EPIC and my favorite bands.

[@Luckyluckylucky2100]

DAMN THIS WAS AWSOME..LOVE U MARK FOSTER

[@erickt1974]

And this is why i'm getting a Telecaster

[@rodvargas2087]

It's a great guitar, I have a Squier fender telecaster and it sounds beautiful

[@erickt1974]

Rod Vargas I got a Squier Affinity Telecaster and it sounded amazing! I was going to switch the pick ups but it's honestly perfectly fine cx I might put some humbuckers in there but that's later

[@Caylo321]

Awesome guitar. I have an Ibanez RG but looking into getting a telecaster. They're pretty nice.

[@erickt1974]

Caylo321 Tread carefully on squier lines. My Bridge pickup is too trebly but it mixes suuper nicely with the neck pickup. I suggest upgrading a squier. cx

[@General11band]

i have a tele but prefur Mustangs, Jaguiars, and strats, but tele is the blusey sound weezer has

[@LuterofromTx]

They played my favorite song on my 11th. Birthday hahaha

[@smilenerd1]

Your birthday is one day after mine lol

[@redmcbeard4230]

11th? Jesus.... I heard the original premier on the radio when I was close to 11....

[@MiaVlogs]

Omg im obsessed with this band right now & im obsessed with this song...so perfect!!!

[@aaronwilt2866]

It's cool because Weezer covered "Pumped Up Kicks" the same year 6 days before this

[@AL-vq1mz]

I heard a story that Rivers thought Mark this song in a party when Mark was 13. Amazing how it goes full circle.

[@TreeSPN]

One of my favorite bands covering one of my other favorite bands!!! Nice work People!

[@98coqui]

his little dance is contagious no every time i hear this song or any song of i end up doing the whole little shrug dance thingy. :)

[@pepefenollarjaume]

wow, great song! Thank God for America!!

[@Convoycrazy]

Fellow fans of FTP might note that Weezer did a cover of Pumped Up Kicks as the song was taking off. I find it ironic and satisfying to find this treasure. Thanks for posting it!

[@Gabes47]

I like this cover a whole lot

[@geofflegeoff6795]

This is actually super great !!!

[@hfgy7]

besides blowing out my speakers, this vid is awesome!

[@TickMiester95]

did you record the audio with a potato? like seriously the audio is so bad

[@PinoyAbnoy]

+Y4123 with patatas probably

[@ripley7773]

+Y4123 I think it was a cucumber, most potatoes record better audio....Actually this sounds like spinach, yep totally spinach

[@Leila-he2gx]

Amazing

[@hyperkiller3]

lol someone in the beginning is all like "is that a new song? never heard this before" XD

[@bbomg02]

All I could think was "OH BALLS!!!!!!!".......

[@syahaz7088]

What a gem!

[@cadenheidebrink8667]

Rivers has to read the lyrics to "Pumped up Kicks" but Mark memorizes "Say it Ain't So". lol

[@Caylo321]

XD

[@Capnsensible80]

Well that and this song was 17 years old at the time of recording so he had a lot more time to memorize it

[@nickycritic5269]

It was also written in the 90s dude. They’ve been playing that cover for 20 years.

[@DonVal86]

Weezer is a bigger band. Would not be surprised if Mark has covered this song for years.

[@mariselawright2097]

Because this song has been a classic for awhile

[@skuylerknisely404]

one of the best songs ever covered by the best band ever!

[@siegodanchez6487]

funny how when weezer played pumped up kicks they had to read the lyrics off of a paper... just goes to show that say it aint so was a much more legendary song

[@siegodanchez6487]

***** no

[@Impuhlz]

pat duckets All that says is that they didn't rehearse well enough... it's not hard to memories the lyrics to a song...

[@siegodanchez6487]

Impuhlz absolutely wrong

[@Impuhlz]

So you're telling me that rivers couldn't memorize the lyrics to the song he was supposed to perform because "pumped up kicks isn't as legendary as say it ain't so"? Then how did mark memorize it? How did his band memorize it? How did the millions of people who have listened to the song memorize it? And obviously say it ain't so is a more well known song, it came out in 1994, over 20 years ago! Pumped up kicks was released only 4 years ago. Your argument is based in bias and raw emotion for a band whom I also find amazing. I LOVE WEEZER, and say it ain't so is one of my favorite songs of all time, don't get me wrong. You just sound like an idiot when you don't acknowledge the fact that he was reading lyrics off of a paper because he was ill prepared, not because one song was "more legendary" than the other, or whatever your idiotic phrasing was.

[@siegodanchez6487]

Impuhlz the reason i said say it aint so was a more legendary song was because it was the only legandary song that has been mentioned here... pumped up kicks sucks. i just checked it out because i heard weezer perform it. im not the kind of "tuff guy" thats gonna call people names over the safety of the internet, but you can just metaphorically shove your opinions of me up your ass.

[@RebeltubeStation]

I love it!

[@depechecherry]

Soo good.

[@MsPERMANENTjetLAG]

they covered... each other. wow. that's amazing.

[@ronrafield5401]

Pretty good!!!

[@boonesboroughbeachboy9341]

I love his voice more than almost every singer ever. Its really unique. I noticed it on the old tv show craig kilborn, when they played pumped up kicks.

[@ESFLOISD]

love you

[@MultiJenners]

Haha, Marks head bobbing is so cute

[@1dirkmanchest]

Thats one bunch of guys that love music. He played the shit out of that cover. Do you know how HOT it is North of Houston in August? He was sweating balls.LOL

[@felagund8]

this is so much better than all the covers.

Nothings ever better than the original. :3

[@xxxBriBriLovesUxxx]

AHHH I LOVVE WEEZER AND FTP!!! IT WAS AN AWESOME COVER

[@Dizzykathie]

Agree, my friend. totally agree.

[@ryanw1284ryansrants]

Say it aint so in E?

[@Epicgermanmusic]

e flat

[@davefan16]

Yeah, song is supposed to be half step down, sounds weird like this.

[@maddiebrad77]

davefan16 If your in a band that doesn't have a roadie and 7 extra guitars laying around then most likely your guitar is tuned to E. Its not like the audience will just chill while you tune down a half step.

[@Epicgermanmusic]

Brad Madison are you tying to say that foster the people does not have a roadie of any kind? either way, that shouldnt be an issue, i think they tuned it at E just because it fits his voice better

[@Splooie128]

Alexai Kun Yep. Ultimately Eb, E, who gives a shit?
