william's voice is amazing. i love how he actually HAS a voice, and he can't just sing one type of song, but he can alter them. well done. and thanks.

[@xoxthatemokidxox]

i have spent countless hours just listening to this over and over again.. i think it's one of the most amazing acoustic songs ever.. plus his voice is GOREjus!!!! [i know i spelt that wrong.. i just don't know how to spell.. at all.. it's kinda sad..]

[@Laurenatthedisco13]

This version is cool, i never thought it would sounds like this

[@xMayyyyyyyx]

I love ALL the acoustic versions. They so totally rock, especially the ones with just Will and his guitar (:

[@EmilyTanblackfox]

wow it's wonderful they can do many visions with their songs...shows how talented they r..

[@doubleblueface]

i love his voice!! so good!

[@KawaiiCat2]

I miss The Academy is soo much and I don't like his new stuff yet.. but I tell my self. It's William Beckett... I will "learn" to like his new stuff in time!

[@DanieVargas]

Wow, what a voice!!!! Just happened across this band. NEVER heard of them before! Amazing...

[@starrynightskies]

His voice is so amazing. I love him.

[@openoureyes]

I love this band so much. The Entirety of the Acoustic EP that this was on, From The Carpet ,was amazing as well

[@doubleblueface]

love it! love the song! love the band!

[@SquallCloud]

This is truly terrific. Becks sounds great, seems to be channeling some Jim Morrison energy here - as he is wont to do on occasion. Butcher is nakeder than usualy so that's of the good. Sisky chilling in the cut. I could squee about how cute they all are but no I'll keep it to compliments about their artistry. ... *squee* Damn, couldnt' help myself. :o)

[@darknessisfadingin]

haha, i first I thought The Butcher wasn't wearing any clothes..lol but i love this!!!!!

[@angelleftwing]

I think this is amazing. I'd like to see them do more acoustic versions!

[@yranac]

i'm glad someone else remembers that other than me. thank you. you're my fave person of the day.

[@tootsiexpop]

sisky just chillin in the background made me laugh really hard. anyone else see tom at the beginning? i kind of miss that guy alot.

[@chthonianqueen]

I actually like this alot. I mean the album version is amazing but i like the differences in this.

[@whatsmyageagain3]

haha im loving tony's mustache in the background!!! and William is sooo amazing!!

[@xxriotPARAMOREriotxx]

william has the best voice live :)

[@123honolulu]

wow!!!i love this song!!!

[@acciobecks]

still prefer the normal version, but william's voice amazes me everytime

[@tomsparkingonly]

This is so friggin' hott!!

[@omgxitsEMILY]

I only really like this song, but I haven't listened to all of their songs so I can't promise that. xD.

[@EmilyTanblackfox]

don't EVER say that....William loves his mom very much...have some respect here! he said his mom is an amazing person...so give some respect!

[@inseriousdenial]

1. william is amazing and the SWG tour cannot come soon enough 2. i see sisky in the background. he makes me giggle 3. the butcher looks like the guy from the notebook w/ his beard. except, hotter, talented, and naked (??) 4. this band is amazing 5. the song sounds kinda country like live 6. that is all. except chizzie rules all. i

[@k8con]

this is probably my most favourite TAI version EVER. i don't like the electric version that much, but this performance is amazinggg. the reason i even got into the academy is

[@iluvaon]

good looking and good voice come at the same time.

[@ILOVEROCK4EVR]

the academy is never die there guys are always in my mind

[@lonelyhearted2]

Lol. He so should! That would be AMAZING!!!!!!! I would pay too see that. lol

[@taifobchick480224]

IT WAS AWSOME!!!!

[@MrsWillBeckett12]

"gratis, gratis." Haha, I love it!!! XD Its very different than the original version, but I kinda like it!!! :D William Beckett's voice is simply AMAZING! And this is when he still had his beautiful long hair and wore a bandana around his knee! -3 I miss that look... :P He kinda stutters some of the lyrics... Does he do that on purpose, or is it because of his stuttering problem? :/

[@xMeAndMyBlackParadex]

ohhh bill beckett you are one adorable man:)

[@madisite]

i personally think it sounds pretty darn awesome for live, and acoustic,and i usually hate acoustic stuff.. nice job TAI :]]

[@xcompletexsilencex]

I like this version of the song. If TAI was country, I'd actually listen to it.

[@acursivelullaby]

it was probably when they're last guitarist left or something. because they recorded probably close to where they played this show, and they got Michael Guy Chislet as they recorded Santi. So he was probably taking over for Tom.

[@ilovemeatx3]

ohgiddygod. william singing. makes me sweat. he is. so amazing. i think im melting now. buh bye.♥

[@icyabstract]

LOL. I didn't think of it until you said it.

[@magturb94]

lol this is awesome!!!!!! but my little brother can't stop cracking up

[@parlay3]

wow this is like my favorite song you guys do! oh and metal7771, if you dont like the band then dont watch them on you tube!

[@youknowitsmo]

he's sooo skinny and gorgeous :] god, i love william beckett

[@hirotheavitar]

Hahaha. Love Tony's "Anthrax" shirt.

[@luvsyafob]

Ha ha! That must've been hilarious! If I was there, and I heard you guys singing "same blood" I would have been like "Oh my gosh! Those people up there are singing "same blood!" Then start singing along. and if the people operating the coasters told us to stop I'd be like "Shut up!" Well, probably not...

[@SquallCloud]

Oh I see Tom over there by Sisky, he too chilling in the cut. ... I didn't really "know" Tom that well being new to TAI fandom and him not being as vocal as the other bandmembers but just seeing concert footage of him ... Damn I'm gonna miss that dude. *sniff*

[@bornfrustrated18]

aww bless him :)

[@weedan2k8]

the only the academy is song that reminds me of an other band i always think of the used when i hear this lol but yeah awsong and band

[@KiraKennedy]

Wow, it totally went from like Emo to the Blues

[@Noomie90]

I agree!

[@k8con]

I miss the days when Mike used to play acoustic with William.

[@luvsyafob]

Man, the people at there must've been really mean! You guys weren't hurting anyone by singing!

[@Lizziebordensaxe420]

awh!! :3 i love it!

[@starrynightskies]

I

[@Bartholomule01]

It ain't that bad. I like the accoustic version.

[@MissShondaKaye]

Calm Down.Everyone Has Different Tastes In Music.Just Because One Person Disagrees Doesnt Mean You Need To Get Your Panties In A Wad.

[@7z6r]

@MrsWillBeckett12 I think he does it on purpose, as far as I know stutterer can sing without having to stutter because for speaking and singing different parts of the brain are used. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

[@vickypanicfan]

Ooohh poor william!!he was forcing his voice way too much!!it didn't sounds natural...but he has an amazin' voice...I know!haha that was so funny when he said..."grazie..grazie.."he's soo great!I loove uu williaam!!

[@k8con]

maybe its because i listened to this version first, but i like this a lot better than the album version..

[@cmonnow]

i havent but ill take you word for it

[@jrocklover90]

butch looked nekkid for a moment

[@adrenalin]

you know how basketball players and rappers like wearing their jerseys extra large.. Sisky's is like... but it's all cool. :)

[@cmonnow]

yeah hi is behind william in the begging with the plaid shirt and sisky is in his celtics larry bird jersey

[@k8con]

nah, he sounds good

[@tarebear413]

No, he actually DID hit his face on the mic. lmao.

[@jbrocks93]

It reminds me of the plain white t's on the chorus, to me.

[@acursivelullaby]

he's fucking awesome at guitar!

[@dorkydork98]

because he can. :) Butcher is awesome

[@k8con]

i like this song better acoustic, but its amazing either way!

[@thegreatest5391]

[@taifobchick480224]

i huged will and told him i loved him and he was like i love you too and HE GAVE ME A KISS ON MY CHEACK and it was surpiseing and i stared to get like teary and the butcher said will why do you always make girls cry and mike was like laughing and will gave me a hug and said dont cry and i stared to cry more and chizz was like man you ruin girls lives haha and like i just wanted to faint so all of them signed my convers and will rote on it sorry i made you cry "love ya" IT WAS AWSOME!!!!

[@LouiseLollipop]

[@yanan]

Oooh.

[@traxxas2006]

He looks so different he cut his hair. I like it both ways but i want him to grow it out.

[@hotfudgemoney]

That's understandable

[@finchisgod]

this is the only band i like thats all poppy because his voice is so fucking good

[@brittanytothemaxx]

awwhhh poor adam! he's just sitting there :( lol, favorite band in the entire world. i saw them last week! ahaha, michael chislett just makes the band hotter.

[@daniellasaur]

lol thanks. i meant 'where' as in why wasn't he singing too? dont ask me how i assumed everyone would know what i was saying haha.

[@SlowStabs]

^__^'' aww at 1:13 he hit his face on the mic. haha

[@saralovey]

WILLIAM

[@CherryBlossom911]

aww... 1:12 makes me fell bad for him for some reason

[@factualrealityy]

This version reminds me of...some genre that I can't place.

[@daniellasaur]

that boys voice is amazing. where is tom though??

[@luitaurus]

nice version :) what did william say at the end?

[@amyoley]

HOLLY CRAP THIS IS DIFFERENT!

[@xkamaliex]

i second that xD

[@toxicaxavier3788]

I actually uh...love this???? I mean sure, some notes are meh, but idk I think he sounds nice like this

[@singitloud16]

he looks so... diferrent with long hair!!

[@cmonnow]

no cause tom is in the backround of this video. mikey was probably like "screwit im playing guitar for this one...peace tom"

[@Fuzzums25]

This sounds weird and TAI is one of my fav. bands.

[@kristencaccavale]

haha idk if its adam or not in the celtics shirt but whoever it is i'd be pretty mad i got on camera looking like that if i were them =P

[@xAllAmericanPotterx]

Waaaaaaaaaaait, is that Butcher on guitar? o.o SWEETXD

[@markjohnstonofficial]

Thats pretty sad... Im not gonna lie, I feel bad if Simpe Plan is your favorite band, especially now...

[@LachicaPink]

ajajajaja son lindos no?? me gustan ellos

[@justinormoe]

you guys are kinda FAST but still pretty good

[@pineapplepinoy]

its just different version of guitar rhythm and william singing it. kinda like a hip-hop's equivalent to a remix

[@violetred171]

haha at :57 i thought the butcher was naked, but then i looked again and saw his shorts

[@baconlady11]

I dont here it. Love the used but idn Maybe kinda sounds like lunacy fringe by them?

[@migast0]

nothing? idk buts that hilarious
