I'm shocked at how respectful and artistically true to the original this was. I listened ready to hate it and it emdws up being so good. It could have been better but it was their first public performance, of course there will be knits to pick. But of you can't appreciate the effort to maintain the true soul of the original in this piece than you're opinion isn't worth much to me. Keep up the practice and give it another go in the future guys.
@@syloentertainment1100 Let me rephrase; "I'm shocked at how close they were willing to get to the original. Considering these chuckle-heads couldn't and WOULDN'T do an accurate or true-the-style cover of ANYONE outside of the hip-hip and adjacent genres. They must have really bent-over-backwards, again, as far as they're willing to, to ATTEMPT to find some of the message, method, and flavour of Midnight Oil, which is an old favourite of mine. I'm utterly blown away." Is that better?
I'm impressed. I'm not a imagine dragons fan, however you can tell they love this song. More importantly, they believe in this songs message. His intensity during the chorus is palpable.
I doubt there are any Australians over the age of 2 who don't know this song. Its the most famous song by one of the most famous Australian bands of all time.
Just found this. Big fan of both the oils and Imagine Dragon. Reading the comments. I am wondering if they even listened to the version. I was listening while reading and i think they actually did a really good job. Sometimes you just can not please people. When it started i was a little hmm this is going to be bad because of the comments. But its actually really good.
The Oils are the #1 Progressive band of all time. Anybody ever find another band with such a political bent to virtually every song they wrote? Great to see the younger generation honoring the Oils!
Wow. Love imagine dragons and their cover of beds are burning. I saw as listened to midnight oil in a concert they were great. Thank you Gragons for bringing this song to the forefront again. What a great song.
Lyrics : ----------- Out where the river broke The bloodwood and the desert oak Holden wrecks and boiling diesels Steam in 45 degrees The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them Let's give it back How can we dance When our earth is turning? How do we sleep While our beds are burning? How can we dance When our earth is turning? How do we sleep While our beds are burning? The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent Now to pay our share Four wheels scare the cockatoos From Kintore East to Yuendemu The western desert lives and breathes In 45 degrees The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them Let's give it back How can we dance When our earth is turning? How do we sleep While our beds are burning? How can we dance When our earth is turning? How do we sleep While our beds are burning? The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent now To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them We're gonna give it back How can we dance When our earth is turning? How do we sleep While our beds are burning?
Already on my playlists. In anyway, IMAGEM DRAGONNS, I am very fan of this band6, from them made all brazilians always listen to them loving and dancing for this band
His voice is really great and i would appreciate if the band would only play such songs and not this modern routine tones.Its not such a bad coverversion as many here say.I am a big fan of Midnight Oil and of course the original cannot be reached,never.Go to some bands which tried to cover Queen :)
Very emotional song but just leave it to the original yeah, I ain't from Aussie, I'm from New Zealand but I know that the aboriginals had it first. Face facts. 😂
You probably don’t know what this song it’s about. It’s not about the singer it’s about showing people that our world is not safe nor perfect. This song is about Australian people taking the natives home away and the singer of midnight oil wanted to show the world and the fact that other groups and singers are singing it is part of there plan of recognition
I know somebody that had a best friend whose cousin worked with a guy of a neighbor that had a friend who knew someone that went to this concert. Just saying. Killer cover though.
The message would be the song is not so appropriate to be performed by a non-Australian band to an Australian crowd…worse still the crowd is simply cheering on🤦🏾
these guys are too busy trying to be cool and please everyone to actually put on a decent show ...andyou cant fuck up the lyrics to a song so close to its home.
How to to slaughter an Iconic track....These guys maybe the current flavor but they need to learn something about doing a cover, pick something that is with in your range and your talents.
As you heard it was their first time playing the song. They started as a cover band playing in casinos. I heard them live 4 times and they covered Smells like teen spirit, with or without you, 500 miles, etc. and I can tell you they can cover songs. Of course not everyone but still. My fahter is a huge U2 fan who doesn't really listen to ID but he was blown away by With or without you
I like their own stuff, studio songs anyway, Maybe this song was not in their capability because I have listened to a few other covers of this song and those have been excellent.
I heard them 2 days later in Sydney and they were fantastic at this song, you could tell they’d really ironed it out in that short a time. I just regret that I recorded 2/3s of the song and not the full thing because it was gorgeous
"It belongs to us, let's give it back"???????????????????????????????????? WTF. Learn what a song means before you cover it and change the lyrics. Especially when it's a song about history, politics, and human rights, not the usual pop BS.

Respectful sure, but not anywhere close to good, they don’t really have the power that midnight oil does, so IMO it doesn’t work

Not a fan off this band.... but big ups to them for covering this song and doing it pretty good. It needs to be heard.
I love the reaction of the kids in the audience who have obviously never heard the song before 😂 probably thinking it’s an original or something
You can see them singing along in the crowd
Bruh they're all singing use your eyes lol
I doubt there are any Australians over the age of 2 who don't know this song. Its the most famous song by one of the most famous Australian bands of all time.
Delete this comment. 😂
I had the exact same impression..haha
As a big Midnight Oil fan, I salute these guys and their great cover of The Oil’s Beds are Burning. Well done!
Awesome love this version ! We will watch midnight oil next year March can’t wait to hear them live !

Sad that most people don't understand what the song is about ❤️💛🖤
This my nr 1 protest song
The people probably don't even know who our Aboriginal people are.
It’s gay

Hi, it's an excellent cover...
Lyrics :
-----------
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in 45 degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
Now to pay our share
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In 45 degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent now
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
We're gonna give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?
What cool dudes. Fucking funny guys.
Thanks for covering a great Aussie song.
Absolutely brilliant brilliant song brilliant cover
Omg i was at this concert!!! they did an amazing job it was so good i love them so much!
...it would help if they knew the fucking lyrics.
Very Very good Cover of such a Huge Song!Thx for posting:-)
Now I wanna hear them play Forgotten Years
Great to see the Oils and their message being celebrated by so many - as they should.
Not a fan of the vocalist but the band overall did a great job!
Music start at 1:20
Loooove this song by the Midnight Oil!
Thanks for covering this song, good job 💯
Already on my playlists. In anyway, IMAGEM DRAGONNS, I am very fan of this band6, from them made all brazilians always listen to them loving and dancing for this band
Wonderful music ( Natal- Brazil)🎸🎸🎸🎸😎👍
His voice is really great and i would appreciate if the band would only play such songs and not this modern routine tones.Its not such a bad coverversion as many here say.I am a big fan of Midnight Oil and of course the original cannot be reached,never.Go to some bands which tried to cover Queen :)
It's just a little Panasonic TZ40 but it does take great video thanks :-)
Image Dragon...non si smentiscono mai. Bravissimi anche con un classico anni 90
proud they mke fans taste 80'S god voice
All they did was dedicate a song and sang it. The crowd seemed to dig it
pretty good for first live run good job guys
thank you for uploading!! its really good quality! can i ask what camera/phone you used to video?
Terrific job guys
very good
This song is so old, yet it fits perfectly to this shitty 2022 year...
Jesus, people what's wrong with you why do you hate this? I love it, this is so good. I'm a fan of them but anyway. I think it's a great cover.
Because it’s terrible and he fucks up the lyrics 🤷♂️
@@albertorkenbjorken He made ONE mistake and the performance was great. I don't get what's your problem.
The entire thing is awful. It’s a song that shouldn’t be touched by another band..
@@albertorkenbjorken Guess what. You can't do anything about it.
No duh fuckface. I can still be critical about it.
Which one in Australia was it? Because I was at one and I'm not if this was it.
This band is the best
Midnight Oil? Yes.
Very emotional song but just leave it to the original yeah, I ain't from Aussie, I'm from New Zealand but I know that the aboriginals had it first. Face facts. 😂
"but I know that the aboriginals had it first. Face facts. 😂"
WHAT THE FUCK HAS THAT GO TO DO WITH IMAGINE DRAGONS COVERING THIS SONG
@@MrGenedancingmachine What do you think the song is about?
Samuel Stensgaard read my comment again and try see where you fell down
Probably because they messed the lyrics up by saying "it belongs to us, let's give it back"
You probably don’t know what this song it’s about. It’s not about the singer it’s about showing people that our world is not safe nor perfect. This song is about Australian people taking the natives home away and the singer of midnight oil wanted to show the world and the fact that other groups and singers are singing it is part of there plan of recognition
Excelente cover de una buena banda
I saw myself!!!
Oh god imagine dragons does not have the power to pull off this song, midnight oil will forever do the best version of this
Nada supera la original, pero buen trabajo, traen de vuelta para que escuchen un clásico los más jóvenes
I know somebody that had a best friend whose cousin worked with a guy of a neighbor that had a friend who knew someone that went to this concert. Just saying. Killer cover though.
Why didn't you shown Platz?
Awesome!
Haha "it belongs to us"
+Elemental Sheep lol
+Elemental Sheep i am the leader of all sheeps
DaSheep Tamer Not this one
Elemental Sheep are you the controller of all elements and i am your master
LOL.
Sounds like the junior band playing the notes without any PASSION or DYNAMIC RANGE.
))05:37 to last time Is Real Guitar Hero
Now I wanna hear them play Forgotten Years
No le veo nada de especial a ese grupo Imagine dragons.
I saw myself!!!
wooooo
😍
This vesion 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
Yep it does start baw,baw,baw
Not terrible, imho, but makes me want to listen to Midnight Oil's version.
Nice cover of Beds are Burning, but it's not the same without Peter Garrett's dance moves on stage.
They need to get this song down a lot more, not spectacular yet.... the aboriginals would appreciate it...
I wonder if they know what the song is about.
They know
Maby not. But I don't mind.
They have no idea
The message would be the song is not so appropriate to be performed by a non-Australian band to an Australian crowd…worse still the crowd is simply cheering on🤦🏾
FTW they did with that great song?! But I can't deny they vocalist jumps well.
Good work :) (Melbourne)
No se claven, la mayoría del publico no conocían la canción porque esa canción es bastante vieja y seguro pensaban que era algo nuevo.
He sings well but Peter dances better
This is awsome!
Group up listening to Midnight Oil, and still do. This? Good lead guitar, but the rest was....meh.
La mejor versión impresionante 👍👍👍
not a bad cover
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Where's a good place crash when you need one
Please No!!!
not too bad for some youngsters lol
Where's a good place crash when you need one
он спел кокбудто со сна, это же экшон песня
Peter Garett's son. Too much Uranium. Enrich me.
not too bad for some youngsters lol
No le veo nada de especial a ese grupo Imagine dragons.
The original is very better. I must be an old guy... but... old rock is often better.
1:54 Take the skinny jeans off! Oh I mean put some different jeans on lol. Who wears skinny jeans anymore?
Not bad..
make a goth dance.. thats! MIDNIGHT OIL !!!!!!
No pathos in it...
Lemme just "ok boomer" all of you.
the rapper with guitar is destroying this song
Dead crowd !!!
Ashamed, they used this song with absolutely no regard for its meaning
у Palaye Royale кавер лучше
Did he just say "Before we all share the cockatoos"? Sorry Imagine Dragons, just leave this song to Peter to sing
Their not Australian.Why sing about sonething they know nothing about.
Pretty good, but the dance needs work
ikr but lets be honest peter garret glitches when he dances
these guys are too busy trying to be cool and please everyone to actually put on a decent show ...andyou cant fuck up the lyrics to a song so close to its home.
C'est mou !!!!!!!!!!
😒... Awolnation cover it's better
WTF!!!!!
too slow
Probably the worst cover I ever heard.....They killed the song....
Fernando Cesar agree😑
The fact is the group is lame. This just illustrates its
Well I BET THE MICROPHONE WERE THE LAME AND OPS CAPS.
MentalFlow yeah thats it. The microphones were lame. Hahahaha. The mics are fine.
Not really. the bass is nowhere but sure they were not the best but most artists suck live anyway.
How to to slaughter an Iconic track....These guys maybe the current flavor but they need to learn something about doing a cover, pick something that is with in your range and your talents.

Oh so Lame! have they not heard the original?? go back and learn the originals power...
The fact is the group is lame. This just illustrates it.
@@SoCalDan530 What's wtong with you people ?
Terrible way to slow midnight oil lead singer Peter Gabriel is a legand
Peter Garrett
😂😂😂😂😂
It is true, peter Gabriel is a legend.
lame compared to the oils
Oh shut up, it's a band doing a cover, they're not trying to be better than the original
exactly not even close and a bad cover at that
Don't talk shot on my band. I bet you can't even do as good as Imagine Dragons can.
+EMILY DRAGXN (Emily Navarrete) Can't do any worse either
agreed. midnight oil was untouchable. I like some imagine dragons songs but music sucks overall today compared to the pure talent of the 80's.
yeah they don't have any feel...not surprising from a modern "rock band"
They aren't a rock band. What are you talking about?
"It belongs to us, let's give it back"????????????????????????????????????
WTF. Learn what a song means before you cover it and change the lyrics.
Especially when it's a song about history, politics, and human rights, not the usual pop BS.
Terrible
Please No!!!
Sad version.
leave it boys, its worst song i ever heard for a cool song
