This was a terrific choice for a song to cover. It literally fits everyone perfectly from vocals to the instruments. It had that original sound to it, but also felt a bit more full bodied, if that makes sense. It was a really good cover and I really do dig the nostalgia. I also think you guys could do something special doing a 'Savage Garden' cover.
Man, I completely forgot about this song. The Iron Maiden lyrics in this song always hit home with me cuz I was a huge Maiden fan in high school and it definitely didn't win me any popularity contests.
As a HARDCORE metalhead whose a teenager rn....I've always been confused like wasn't heavy metal/hard rock considered extremly cool in 90s/80s? Like ur always seeing how axl rose/nikki sixx/lemmy used to get SOOOO laid?
@@sidmajumder5207 Well keep in mind those guys were rock stars. Big difference between some high school kid that digs Iron Maiden and the actual guys in Iron Maiden :D. Also, there was a fairly big distinction in social circles between the hair bands and bands like Iron Maiden back then. I guess 3-4 minute songs about getting high and laid attract different sorts of crowds than 13 minute long songs based on a poem from 1797. 🤷♂
I thought the original version of this song had a female vocalist singing it back when it came out. It wasn't until I saw Wheetus at a music festival that I was like "Wait. This song is sung by a dude?"
Audra, you are clearly a superstar like Hayley Williams of Paramore. You have it all: Great vocal chops, accurate intonation, wide range, great dancer, great personality and smile, self-confidence and beauty. Your band knows all this and how fortunate they are to be working with you. Many offers will soon be coming your way. Steve S, producer and director.
Yall nailed the vocal style for this song, and the whole overall style is spot on to the original but still with your own twist. Great cover! That group harmony part was also awesome, nice to see the whole gang :)
Your voice is one of the best voice I've ever heard. I can't even explain the feeling. This soft voice just relieves your brain and let you disappear in it. You are perfect, just keep singing. Let our ears have a party! Also the color of soloist's eyes astonishing.
guitarist, bass player, drummer, singer everything is perfect. Very like it. You cover the song perfectly. I like the way you play music. greetings from Indonesia
Killer cover as always! I love to see how much fun you guys have while doing what you love. I tell everyone I can that they are missing something amazing in their life if they don't know who F211 is.
I remember the first time I heard this song I wondered what it would sound like if a Female sang it. Thanks so much for covering this, one of my all time favourite songs!
The record was due to be released about two weeks after Columbine happened. The label had them change it as thing were a little sensitive about then. Vice have a great documentary about this song (and a bunch of other one hit wonders)
This was great. My first time stumbling across First to Eleven but seeing several covers of other favorites I do look forward to more. Liked, commented and subscribed.
I just found your channel the other day by hearing "Cooler Than Me" and I was amazed. I had never even heard of this song but I saw that you did a cover of it so I went and listened to the original, then yours. You guys really did an amazing job of recreating the feelings given from the song. This song was enough for me to subscribe. Keep up the great work!
Wenderson AllanBR Wenderson AllanBR I’d love to see a cover of that, or even Bittersweet Symphony, and/or The Drugs Don’t Work by The Verve...or even It’s Never Too Late by 3 Days Grace, or maybe Somebody Told Me by the Killers, or even a rock cover of a Take That song, either Shine or Greatest Day, since all those songs are ones I grew up hearing on the radio, well except for the 3 Days Grace song.
I know this son is originally by a dude, but it really does encapsulate the feeling of being closeted in high school and in love w your straight best friend 😳
@@Petaurista13 its a bit different because if a lesbian has a crush on a straight girl then they just wonder what'd it be like if they were gay but if a girl is taken and straight then there's atleast a chance for u guys
Love the stuff added to the bridge and end by Audra!
It make me always happy see that great bands appreciate each other! :)
awe thank you 🖤
Same
@@FirstToEleven you guys have to do Make me wanna die - pretty reckless
Great band? Wheatus had this song and maybe one other that was alright. One hit wonder at best.
"... He brings a gun to school.." 1:13 Sing it the way it was written
SUCH 90’S VIBES IN EVERY WAY!! OUTFIT AND MUSIC!!
“I’ve got two tickets to First to Eleven, baby. Come with me Thursday, don’t say maybe.”

"I want you" by savage garden?? been a long time..id go for that
I read that as “terrible” at first and was confused at the rest of the comment

ha thats funny.

You're not the only one who thought the vocalist was a woman lol.
@@boxofspidersenjoyer me too. I thought it for like 25 years lol
After listening to this song I feel like you guys should sing "I'm just a kid" if you haven't. Thats a good song.
Oh yes plsssss...
Would be good!
@CarolineConic i was gonna say the same. simple plan would be dope
That’s the most perfect recommendation! I hope they see this comment
I 7th this! I'd love to hear their take on any SP song. I grew up on them.
Yeah! great version...love your covers... big influence!
Yess this is a good cover to listen too in these quarantine times
perfect time to release covers right?! hope you enjoy & stay safe! 🖤
@@FirstToEleven yess it really is, you guys stay safe too!

It's almost as if you read my mind - I've been listening to this song for a week now and I'm obsessed.
Lovely cover, I like it!
we feel like you guys can read our minds!! you keep guessing our covers hahah!
Loved the original and it’s really stood the test of time. This is absolutely the best cover of it I’ve heard.
I wonder how long till a stacys mom cover from them
DEMONDRIFTER you’re good. Maybe too good....
Yes!
That'd be incredible. . And quite amusing with Audra singing it too, haha. . But, ya know, gotta stay progressive and with the times 😁
That one would be so much fun 🤣
OMG YES! That would be my favorite F2Eleven cover ever!
2:47 love thisssssss....💕💕🥳🥺💕🥺💕🥺🥳this minutes gave me goosebumps

Oh man, you just brought back so many memories. I love how good music does that and can take you to another place.
Thanks for the awesome cover!
You bring so much joy in these difficult times. Thanks and God bless you all!
My girlfriend said she’d really like to hear you do Bittersweet Symphony. Please upvote so I can surprise her.
I can support this. That'd be pretty great.
and Every You Every Me by Placebo!
I 4th this
Oh almost forgot about that one! What about freshmen by the verve pipe?
@@FirstToEleven Freshman would be a good song. I always forget it until it comes on pandora
Killer cover as always! I love to see how much fun you guys have while doing what you love. I tell everyone I can that they are missing something amazing in their life if they don't know who F211 is.
I agree, I think the same thing!
Your smile is amazing! I like how much fun it looks like you guys are having, another great replay-worthy video!
Shes a baddie what a heck of a band i went crazy for this one of my jams Excellent I love them will keep tuning in
Was not expecting a Wheatus cover but it is appreciated
this is literally the best cover ive ever seen
One of my favorite one-hit wonders on the 90s. Awesome performance, guys!
Around 2:30!!! The backing vocals are amazing!
Sounds fake for sure.
This song was a guilty pleasure of mine in the 90’s. Love this cover; Audra’s voice is always 🔥
it was released in 2000:)
2:48 Amazing to see other people behind the mic along with Audra.
Audra singing it brings a fresh perspective to the song. Nicely done!
You guys keep getting better and better keep it up guys. Best part of being stuck at home
2:48 - 3:04 I was not expecting that 😂
awesome cover. love the choir vocals. awesome set and lighting.
The only cover so far that gets close, ps editing is dope AF!! God bless y'all!
I love the minute 3:13 Audra 😍😍
Love that she started showing emotion in her songs finally
woww!! that was diff'rent.
so clean.
Congratulations: you've just become my fav cover band.
Gosh every single time you cover a song, theres more magic in the world. You are all so talented and you make the best covers!
I CANNOT stop listening to this!!!! This is the best cover I've ever heard!!

Thanks Audra and your band for making cover of old songs. Man so much good memories on this song ❤️
This is the best cover I've heard of this song!! ❤️
I feel like she finally puts the emotions in this . I like this cover.
"Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me" this line takes me somewhere out of this world.. ❤❤❤ and her smile ❤
This is good. Finally someone that doesn't oversing when covering vocally delicate songs
quarantine is easier to survive by enjoying your music, guys!
such a great cover
2:32 this part is a bliss
Awesome amazing beautiful cover. Love listening to this song over and over. Keep on Rocking guys .
One of my all time favorite F211 covers! You guys did awesome!
Great cover. Same song, different voice style, different voice performance, great feeling!
you bring back al the teenage memories
lighting up my day
Тому кто занимается сведением звука у вас отдельное спасибо. И опять солистке за улыбку.
Nothing feels more 2000 than listening to this song.
Even covering the "he brings a gun to school" with that record scratch was really faithful to the original. Fantastic cover!
That wasn't the original, the record label made them do that.
@@epia125 It's on the official master, so I would consider that the original ;)
@@pleaseandthankyou4161 Knife crime is also more common per capita in the US, funnily enough

Can't stop listening to this cover .amazing!!!
This band covers the best songs
I LOVE this. Nostalgia at its finest for me.
I really need the rock version of castle on the hill with audra's voice
By ed Sheeran ?
We need the rock version of castle of glass by Linkin Park
@First To Eleven ^^^^^^^^^
This is probably my favorite cover so far, y'all are seriously amazing!
Holy moley, those octave harmonies in the vocals gave me CHILLS 🤯
My favorite one of all your covers right now this is awesome!
Man never been this early 😂 love how the guitar player has his keys clipped to his pants 😂
always hahah!!
@@FirstToEleven that's great 😂
Bit of a stupid question but what's the name of the song playing faintly in the outro at 3:50?
This cover puts a smile on my face, great vibe great energy
Definitely, my favorite cover of you guys! Keep up the good work!
goosebumps are so real right now
I love the ending chorus! And the rest of course. good job.😀
First to eleven rocks! Audra's voice is incredible!
Thank u. This brought back so many memories and tears to my eyes. Thank u!!!
This song is an eternal hit and I love your respectful cover of it!

This is the best cover of Teenage Dirtbag out there, hands down. I've watched so many of your videos since discovering this cover. I'm a fan.
Never heard this song before, but this is soooo great !! J'adore ! :-)) You're such an amazing band !
Just wow!
