First To Eleven 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@damianattard47]

Weezers did a cover of this too can you do Beverly hills by weezers

[@123GoBrits]

I'm a 63 year-old codger and have seen about 20 versions of this song and I like this one the best . I think the drummer likes his job

[@matsgustavsson665]

yup, the drummer got me thinking of Animal, the muppet :)

[@johnwalck3133]

65 here and I agree with you 100%

[@gundabalf]

ok boomer

[@jjsjeffjjsjeff]

The drummer has the best view :)

[@Puterized]

Absolutely. I was thinking the same thing, and he's great too :-)

[@305dadecounty_grabberbluem5]

I am 51 ...grew up with this song ...seen many covers and this one kills it.....you guys need to make sure you pay that drummer enough money so he never leaves. LOL ....

[@blindknitter]

Also 51, and despite my general gayness hopelessly in love with that drummer. Holy shit, are we sure he's not a god?

[@dapikafreak6340]

This song is so hard to sing. Damn she does song justice even that insane high note hit perfectly loves this band hardcore

[@ericgan7742]

i have a feeling there is a lot of autotune assistance

[@cambium0]

auto tune princess

[@peterforemanisuprofessor-c3482]

Yep. Unfortunately she’s gone full auto tune on almost every song these days. It’s a damn shame.

[@dehb1ue]

It does require a lot of beer to do this one for karaoke. Some for the performer and much more for the audience.

[@kevinchandler179]

Exactly, this a very difficult song to sing, but she nails it!!!

[@John-nz8ov]

I love the way she sings "slowly learning that life is ok". It makes me smile every time 😉

[@jonathansolomonphd4153]

And repeat after me it's no better to be safe than sorry....

[@JohnOkleberry]

It sounds like there's a bit of an accent in there.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

I never picked up on that line until she sang it. Hmmm, I owe them another tHanks!

[@carlonuno5700]

In fantasy yes. In reality it never will be. Sadly these are facts..

[@Karma-qt4ji]

Hey drummer dude. Everyone tends to focus of the guitars and vocals, but you rock, dude! And you seem to be having fun doing it which makes it even better. From some old random internet nutter who has been drumming since the early 80's XD

[@juneauserds24]

I love that 2:13 🔥🥁😍

This comment is underrated tbh :D (and yeah ur fricking right sire :D )

[@frankwilson3265]

Discovered this band a few days ago. Can't stop listening to their material, paticularily this track. Their music is so authentic, organic and tight. The purity of Audra's vocals counterpoints the heavy and 'dirty' feel of the rest of the band, giving their sound a genuine 'beauty and the beast' vibe. As the modern music world largely seems to be slipping ever deeper into a self-imposed vacuum of mass-produced mediocrity, it's heartening to see them gathering such a following, and verifies that there is a sizeable chunk of people who still turn to the 'real deal' for their preferred listening. Reading through the comments, it's unsurprising to find that a lot of their followers hail from my own generation, and an era where the wheat and the chaff were seperated in short order. The world needs more bands like this. Kudos to them all.

[@DA-pi9rx]

I just found them as well. I've watched multiple videos this morning. They are fantastic. Lady gaga to a ha. She kills everyone of them. I was in junior high when take me on came out..I'm loving this cover. ❤

[@Andrew-zx9wx]

My dudes, I’m gen X and only discovered this band today. Love their sound and will be following them closely. Frankwilson said it better than ever could.

[@BrooksBabbling]

Ok bots

[@user-uq7jm4ix1n]

They should sing new songs and oldies to show their versatility.

[@idzuanazam]

I will never get bored of this song. Beautifully composed pop song that trancends time..

[@mbaba09]

45 Year old guy here, this cover blew me away. Such a good job. Subscribed and look forward to more of your of your excellent takes on such classics.

[@madie6887]

This request might get annoying bust yall would kill The Pretty Reckless Make Me Wanna Die. Live you guys by the way and I'm working on a drawing of you Audra!

[@jerryvelardi5000]

Timeless performance of a timeless song !!! 1-awesome vocals 🎵 2- perfection with guitar 🎸 3-perfection with bass 🎵 4- unbelievable rhythm,skill, and fun from the drummer I know this band could do an incredible cover of 'A Tout le Monde' by Megadeth back from 2007 with another powerful female vocalist Christina Scabbia( who also covered songs like 'Nothing else Matters' . Keep it up guys !!!!!!!

[@soulrskreem29]

I'm an 80's kid growing up seeing this on MTV when they actually played videos. This track is apart of the soundtrack of my childhood. Hope you do a cover of Alphavilles - Forever Young! Love the energy

[@TrashPandaActual]

I was a thirteen years old when A-Ha released the original song, and this is, hands down, the BEST cover I've ever heard. Awesome!

[@tb7771]

Have you heard the Broken Peach version?

[@TrashPandaActual]

@@tb7771 yeah, they're okay.

[@jimintheboxaudio7771]

I agree, very different style than the original but with the same energy.

[@GUARD3EN]

Seriously, that's a damn solid bass tone y'all have. It cuts through the mix well without being obtrusive, and it also has the proper low end / crunch blend while still being clean enough to not sound grainy or fuzzy.

[@PowerRedBullTypology]

What seems to stand out is how this if filmed. The camera is constantly moving, creating quite a dynamic admosphere. Good job cameraman!

[@Laetus11]

It’s the editor. Most of Those effects are done after. But yes the camera is also dynamic

[@mathewmartin6959]

I get the feels whenever a cover of Take On Me is good. I got the feels. You guys killed it! Matt! Your guitar skills are, as always, incredible!

[@RoxyGotMoxy.]

This might be the best cover you've done yet! Absolutely INCREDIBLE. There is no limit to how high I want to turn the volume on this song.

[@kcleung888]

This Band is Awesomely Talented they can play anything,this young Singer and their guitarists,drummer are gifted musicians!

[@jfgdiez]

I am 53 years old and I belong to that generation of boys and girls who grew up with this song. This is still by far one of my favorite songs from the 80s and this is perhaps one of the best covers I have seen so far of A-ha's Take of Me. Thank you guys for this cover and for bringing me back to the 80s one of the best stages of my life.

[@kiyoshisamuel1318]

We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today's another day to find you Shying away I'll be coming for your love, ok? Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two So needless to say I'm odds and ends But I'll be stumbling away Slowly learning that life is ok Say after me It's no better to be safe than sorry Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two Oh, things that you say Is it a life or just to play my worries away? You're all the things I've got to remember You're shying away I'll be coming for you anyway Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day

Good job! You achieved something that so few can! Making a song yours without changing what the song is! That’s rare!

[@legendaryTMNICO]

80s music is better than most of today’s new music.

[@Nartano]

Folks you are simply AMAZING!! As an amateur (very basic) guitar strummer, I wonder where your guitarist gets all that sound! And Audra's voice is amazing!!

[@soupistasty5]

How???!!! How was this not a thing, ages ago?! Awesome cover.. literally, the exact song I think of in my mind, when I think about the type of songs that First To Eleven does. Now it's real... cool.

[@RPG-GT]

Awesome! This is one song that is hard to duplicate, she hit the highs and the band is spot on! 👍👍👍

[@TheNucMed]

Love you guys! Mad guitar skills brother! Love the solo. Really makes this arraignment unique.

[@melissalee4446]

I absolutely LOVE the passion I feel from each one of you. Incredible. Keep sharing your tremendous talents. You make people so happy. :)

[@timdedeaux3989]

Outstanding! I think this is my favorite of your covers. It's absolutely joyful!

[@deniselee9751]

I like how your vocals are not “predictable.” You go to a different key and it really adds something to your style.

[@latino_God]

I was thinking the same damn thing. These guys are amazing!!

[@brucestorey3400]

Big challenge to cover one of the world's biggest hits. And you guys have done a fantastic job. Loved it.

[@terrypruitt708]

Today is the first time I have ever heard of this group First to Eleven and I think they're great. Watched several of their songs by Zeppelin, Nickleback and this one. Very impressed. That little lady can really sing.

[@zanethind]

Man listening to this while still in Pandemic just makes me feel better so thanks First to Eleven

[@HilariouslyScary]

Can't say I was expecting this one, but boy am I glad you covered it!

[@ordyy89]

Incredible talent with F211!!! Well done😊

[@AGmetalman]

A seventy-one-year-old geezer who began teaching high school kids in the 80s. Loved them, love this song, love this version!

[@steveg1961]

Great cover! Thank you for keeping the spirit of the song, while giving it your own flavor.

[@faithharris3372]

That high note though!! It was so smooth❤

[@BobPort]

This cover of a-ha’s epic song is, well ... epic. I love it so much!

[@peteralia661]

Like the keyboard conversion to guitar. And that kick drum, every song it powers through. Great musicians.

[@blahdiblah2169]

Your band has some really stunning arrangements. I really like how you accent stuff. It's like listening to the songs remastered. Sometimes you bring out certain elements which the original was trying to do but got lost in the editing. What you're left with is much more epic sections, better harmonies and just fantastic editing.

[@cell6720]

Kkkkk original é o melhor não tem como comparar não falta nada na versão original

[@briciolopes2562]

I DON'T BELIEVE! I was thinking about this cover yesterday. "They should do it" 🇧🇷♥️

[@G8Thunder]

So many times I feel old and crotchety because I like originals better, but I like so many F211 covers equally or more than the originals. Maybe it's just the rock vibe you bring to the songs; whatever it is I like it. Also, Audra's voice is so awesome since it seems very adaptive. You have the grungy/gritty tambre in the alto range that just seamlessly works with the rock spin you put on songs, and then you pop up to the high notes for "in a day or two" and they're super crisp. Not sure if that was falsetto but it was awesome either way.

[@ElanurMH]

This is a wonderful version of Take On Me. By the way, a-ha played very often also a rock version of this song in their concerts.

[@mattcanty7313]

Watching these guys is like living the high school dream all over again.

[@guadalupeacosta9446]

I think "Innocence" and/or "When You're Gone" of Avril Lavigne are great options for next covers! Also, I love your job guys, you are amazing! Greetings from Argentina!!

I really appreciate how you guys did the chorus. Modulating the key, or whatever it was...Nobody does the chorus quite like a-ha, but this was certainly a unique take!

[@wags83]

It's just shifted down, I think she's actually an Alto, not a Soprano and that would be a really high note for a Soprano

[@livervid]

Awesome interpretation, original and keeping character of song! Guitarists drumming are on another level!

[@KaduSasso]

Great drums on this one , well done !

[@joshuanoonan8936]

I was like, no way she is hitting that low note and then she did lol. awesome cover guys!

[@joshmcdowell81884]

I love take on me. It's one of my favorite songs from the 80's. The direction you went with it was a perfect combination of todays rock mixed with the classics of that era. Cant wait to see what you do next. Maybe a cover of "time after time" would be a wonderful addition to your covers

[@2128jrandall]

Now THAT is an excellent cover choice.

[@fioletskye1950]

Please!

[@hunfish777]

I was an A-ha fan as a teenager. Then I became a rocker. Now - listening to this reworking - I fell in love with this song again. But only the First To Eleven version! : D Thanks for sharing, it was a joy to listen!

[@FergusDuniho]

This song has always been a favorite, and I love this version. Yet just this evening, after listening to your version earlier today, I heard a very different version on an episode of the Magicians, in which several characters sang it together in memory of someone who had died, which gave me a new respect for the song. Since that is the second time I have heard it in connection to death (Deadpool 2 being the other), it made me wonder what this song is about. Looking at the lyrics, it could be a goodbye song in the face of impending death, though it could also be about taking a chance on a relationship despite the specter of morality we all live with.
