You may have just missed it, but it was incredibly viral 11 years ago. Everyone in my highschool tried doing some form of it for talent shows/group presentations. 😂 As to why you're seeing it now, TH-cam works funny that way. Maybe a couple of people revisited this video a few years/months back in memory of the band's bassist (bearded guy), and that caused TH-cam to recommend it to the general newsfeed. The continuous wave of new views, likes, and comments then keeps it relevant in people's recommendations. So you may have missed it when it came out, but at least its given a second chance and you're able to witness this amazing performance. ❤
Didn't hear them 11 years a go and just found this video.This might be 11 years late but I just want you to know guys that I don't even want to blink my eyes because I'd miss a nano second of this epic performance. Didn't know that it's possible for 5 people to play 1 guitar. All five of you screams talent and what harmony should sound like.
I saw this the year it came out with some friends, Im so glad it got chosen by the algorithm gods to go viral for a second time because its a performance that really deserves to be seen by more people. ❤
@@bawseeeee602 what the comment said has nothing to do with what you said buddy learn to understand English instead of spending your time as a discord mod
This is like every school project - the quiet kid who doesnt want to talk to anyone - the hot girl that got paired up with 4 guys - the group leader that tries a bit too hard - the guy who's idea gets stolen by the group leader because he says it louder - the guy that does the absolute minimal amount of work possible
The dude on the right is so non chalant he's actually amazing. He knows his part is minimal but he makes those strings ring with conviction and at the best times! I've always loved this video and have found it incredibly impressive what multiple people can do on one guitar, I love it!
Wow ! ! ! Although they make it look simple, all 5 of them all playing the same guitar is incredibly difficult. I've tried "sharing" a guitar with just 1 other person and we couldn't even really pull THAT off! This quintet has mastered the technique, and they nailed this song flawlessly. Mad props to them all!
Hardest job here is the dude in the drums..... how the hell he does that pattern that many times for this long and not 1 mistake is impressive. Dude concentration skills reached 10000!!
So im curious if this video has this many views and the other exactly same video has whatever many that one has...since they are the same should we add these views to that....ah nvm there i go thinkin again
His job is actually pretty difficult. He has to hit the notes at the exact right time with long pauses in between (meaning its harder to time), he has to make sure they don't ring too long and sound out of tune, and the end of the guitar strings are sticking out there and they well cut you like a mofo.
I love how the percussionist on the left seems to be off in his own little world. Jamming out seemingly unaware of the other four jamming out on the same guitar
As a person who always chose drums in band. I tell you that this is what a percussionist always does. It's so damn hard to stay in rhtym so you kind of have to be in your own world! It's also amazinga
Sometimes we feel that some musics didn't were created, but were always there, ready, just waiting for someone to , somehow, discover it. What a magnificent sound.
@@n3llybean I'd suggest that "most musicians can do this" is a bit of a stretch. Lots of musicians can, but there's also a huge amount of vocalists who only play when they are not singing, or only sing when the instrument's rhythm matches the song's cadence. I think the majority of musicians fall into the same camp as me. There are certain songs I can happily sing over whilst there are others where the guitar part and the vocals are so rhythmically detached that it's still impossible.
@@Jantol93 oh wow! So it's not actually a recording of the performance? Just lip syncing? I don't think you know anything tbh, but Ill give you a chance to explain.
@@Bubblemation 1. The vocals are clearly pitch corrected. To do that you need an isolated vocal track, which is impossible to record the way the video shows because the mics would pick up the guitar as well. 2. They are singing too far away from the mic to sound like that. The vocals would have more reverb if they were really that far away. 3. Look at her right hand. Picking that lightly would not produce an attack that sharp on those chords. 4. Multiple fingering mistakes by the guy playing the melody. At 2:04 he is fingering the 3rd fret but you can hear the 5th being played. This is a cool idea and they are probably able to perform this, but this audio was not recorded as this video makes it out to be. I play the guitar and have some experience recording. How about you?
@@snowcity1735 He did, sadly. I forget what it was but these guys, Walk Off The Earth, are still going strong but Beard Guy's aura and memory are always there, RIP Natural causes, apparently

I was looking for this comment. They are so great. Still like their Hello cover better. Surprised this comment is this low. Either everyone knows so it doesn't need to be mentioned og noone knows I suppose. :)
God I remember playing this version over and over and I can't believe it's been recommended to me after all these years! It's absolutely amazing, and this was such a throwback to a much simpler time.
As for "still the most" is subjective, but still impressive 5 people on one guitar and a capturing the original song's feeling.. I'm thankful to God that youtube still exists and this video still exists and uploaded to be impressed by five people on one guitar doing a cover.
Almost 10 years ago my teacher showed this in our class. He didn't have to. It was in english class 7 or 8th grade. He just really appreciated this video and wanted to share it with the class. Im glad he did.

Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well, you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that, though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (aah-ooh)
And I don't even need your love (ooh)
But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (aah)
No, you didn't have to stoop so low (ooh)

The finger flicker on the end with a straight face is cracking me up so hard😂😂😂
They have justified by singing it very close to the original song quality, probably the best performance compared to others who copied. Well done!
This needs to go viral. Anyone who plays the guitar would know how much practice, skill, and coordination this must’ve taken. Props to them.
İt doesn t need to go viral. İ love this song it is like secret heaven. People in here are know this song and need to hear it. But if it is go to viral i am %100 sure people will share and use it on tik tok. İ don t want to happen this
it did go viral back in the day, except viral back then was on a much smaller scale compared to all the platforms around now
It did in fact go viral on facebook way back.
watch youtube rewind 2012 lol they're in the very first clip
Dude it is already viral. This is video is the reason the actual song got attention
TH-cam never disappoints me in terms of it’s recommendations
Dude, this is amazing!!! How did I miss this when it came out???
They broke up, but they have an odd number of friends and only one guitar. This was the brilliant compromise that they came up with.
tony sold our other instruments
+Someone else oh my gosh i thought i was the only one!
Tony is dead man. Just read it that’s how I ended up here
@@kevinpoynter3277 F
ooof thanks for the laugh! haven't jad one this good in weeks
We need Tony!!!!!
Even the guitar never knew this that it could be played like this.
Love this masterpiece ❤
11 years later TH-cam decided to recommend this piece of art to me😮😅
2012 I was entertained by this version of the song . Here I’m in 2021 I’m listening and realizing how these lyrics came true lol . Happier now & still my favorite version of the song .
Time passed by, with a lot of things happened
Me, too
Dam just all went down like that
Man I felt this comment… where did the time go
Same. Before it was just a good song that I genuinely thought i understood but since then i lived this song n man I had no idea b4.
Takes raw talent to hold that guitar as steady as that guy is. Bravo.
He is dead (the beard guy) how does that make you feel now😂 *the guilt
@@tahirmustafa2114ok that was uncalled for, don't shame them on knowledge they didn't know. His skill *was* impressive, regardless of whether he's passed away or alive. To rub it into someone's face like that is cruel.
Yeah okay
It's been 11 years and still this is my favorite video on TH-cam.
1:45 Being a sound engineer, damn, does no reverb kill this, other than that, amazing, you 5 are very talented!
the man in the middle is magical... amazing voice
giacomo maroncelli yea and the altissimo tone c.c
@@karimmechken3512 They were live on some USA TV show and he was terrible, couldn't hit a note to save his life. They all got a guitar for themselves though. Liked the original version and this version, forgot the name of this song, so thanks for this golden oldie
Both have an amazing voice
And played lead at the same time, thats james hetfield level
Да они все потрясающие
Dude on the Right: I got this..."cling....cling..." yep...just waitin' for my cue..." cling..cling..." wow..this sounds better than it did in rehearsal..."cling..cling..." I sound pretty good. .."cling...cling.." No one really knows how important I am in this group. Hell..i'm like part of the percussion.."cling...cling.." I make this sound good..I won't let anyone know that I think that but...yeah...I got this in the bag.."cling..cling.." and we're done..Damn..I'm better than I thought I was.
lol
Haha cling clings ❤️
You sayin percussion ain't important!?
On second read when the red clears, are you a fellow percussionist?
😂🤣😂🤣👀
Fr yo
Omg back 10 years later and so happy to be here❤️❤️❤️
2023 and it's still awesome 🌟
This is the band Walk Off the Earth. Such Great talent🙌💕
I was looking for this comment. They are so great. Still like their Hello cover better. Surprised this comment is this low. Either everyone knows so it doesn't need to be mentioned og noone knows I suppose. :)
th-cam.com/video/d9NF2edxy-M/w-d-xo.html
Yes. Putting their version here because they deserve credit
Takes me way back, loved this when it came out and still do. Beard Guy, Mike Taylor, Rest In Peace brother. Thank you for everything.
Brilliance and I'm just seeing this 11 years on.
I can’t believe this is 11 years ago
God I remember playing this version over and over and I can't believe it's been recommended to me after all these years! It's absolutely amazing, and this was such a throwback to a much simpler time.
LOL to me nothing "simple" has happened since I first watched this. Age has a way to fuck with you.
10 years later, still the most unique and beautiful cover on the internet!!
As for "still the most" is subjective, but still impressive 5 people on one guitar and a capturing the original song's feeling.. I'm thankful to God that youtube still exists and this video still exists and uploaded to be impressed by five people on one guitar doing a cover.
Who else watched this as a kid and now gets recommended this video again as an adult?
12 years later, TH-cam decided to recommend this masterpiece to me
*"I think we've got it."* Dumbledore exclaimed enthusiastically.
I haven't heard this is so long..I use to have this on my i pod haha..that girls voice is so beautiful.
joel cotto I know right
Who is she
I noticed her.
me too!!! man this coming out 9 years ago is w i l d
@@jameslautz3592 hayley William smith
2024 and i still remeber this gem
Eleven years later, Christmas eve, TH-cam decided to recommend me this masterpiece.
Almost 10 years ago my teacher showed this in our class. He didn't have to. It was in english class 7 or 8th grade. He just really appreciated this video and wanted to share it with the class. Im glad he did.
The percussionist is literally the unsung hero here.
Yep so 11 years later..... this is awesome.
I honestly think we still don't realize how BIG this song is. Maybe in a couple of decades 🤩
I've never heard a cover song better than the original. I can't say that anymore. Excellent.
69 likes congrats
This one's a great version, for sure, but have you listened to Pentatonix?
@CabinFever52
Yes, here:
th-cam.com/video/hOKuAigsrec/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2sflYshJZOdNsi6m
but I still think this is better.
Pentatonix's Mad World is bonkers brilliant.
Nah, The Original were the best
I think this cover of Still Alive pulls it off, but I get if that's an unpopular take th-cam.com/video/R9mz_wXfMOU/w-d-xo.html
How neat would it be to get six people together to play Rush E on one piano?
When I got this recommendation after 11 years My heart said to me
"Like when you said you felt so happy you could die"
Masterpiece 👏
11 years later stil impressive
The fella on the right is rocking his baby strings
Pure genius. One of my favourite songs. Thank you for posting this brilliant piece.
When I was younger, I thought this was the original version. Growing older, I realized it was the best one.
“You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness,” isn’t that the truth . Here in 2020🖤
Dude
Yea 😞
2021 can't be worse though... Right?
lol someone tryed to cool 2020 any? go home.
Definitely a good lyric, memorable. 🌿
October 2021. Raining heavily outside and I'm glad that TH-cam recommended this tonight. Loved every strum, beat and note of it.
Love from, Penang, Malaysia.
It’s October 2022 and I’m watching this while it’s raining heavily!
I’ll be back next October to add to this… see you next year!
@@TheIronManOfSteel I'll be right here waiting for you! It's the 4th of November, 5 p.m. now. 🙂
@@PumaLyn from selangor HAHA
November 2022, also snow and also great atmosphere created because of this song. Love from west Kazakhstan:]
As an older guy, I suspect that when they remake this, it will be several semitones lower lol. 11 years ago, and I still love this song. What they've done here is incredible.
Weird memory I have of this: My parents banned me from watching this when I was 11 because it swore
I've been watching this for nearly 10 years and I still enjoy the hell out of it, every time! It looks like we've got 774 people up there ^ who have real talent, though LOL
