I still come back to this. I remember hearing it live on triple j and how they explained they had jammed it the night before and it was 9min long. I wish they could have got the 9min version on the air. In my top 10 of the decade either way. Such a hidden gem.
Well mate..They are a ripping band, you are only scratching the surface with them in terms of amazing Aussie rock bands..A petty most Australian's wouldn't even know who they or any other of our great bands are.
oh my god, I could not agree more. after the intro of smells like teen spirit when James plays for a bit then Michael and luke come in I instantly thought of 1979
I was driving home from Jindabyne. 48°c in my VW golf with no AC. Heard the first 10 seconds and increased the volume. 2 minutes later and my fiance was blocking her ears and screaming at me to turn it down. 2 years later I'm living in Bali and this song is still giving me chills. One of the best moments of my life. I will never forget that moment. I will never forget that day. I will never forget the moment this song made me fall back in love with music!
Still in Bali mate or moved on? I’d love to open a bar in Bali or Thailand dedicated to Aussie bands, music and our culture in general. Just without the lockout laws lol
@@shanadekelly9509 mate thats a sick idea! what first got me interested in aus was all the excellent bands like violent soho, muncie girls, smith street band , stiff richards ect that you guys have produced and ive now ended up over here! 10/10 would help at that bar
I'm in the same boat as you, Aqualove... I write a lot of songs. Some of them are pretty heavily inspired by Violent Soho, too. I just can't find people who are super into playing in a band using music I write as the basis for what we play. Idk, man. It's hard. Just keep trying.
Violent Talent it's not only finding people but it's finding ppl with passion and consistency as well. Like are they going to turn up to band practices etc. It just seems to be luck really stumbling across good members.
Aqualove I feel you. That's basically all there is to it. Best of luck to you. Maybe someday we'll both have bands with some sick singles and albums under our belts :)
My old English teacher is Luke's brother. They look alike too. I find it really funny that one of the brother's is a private school's English teacher and the other an Australian alternative rock band's lead singer. Very different personas...
Their gig at Festy Hall on Halloween night was just "ace"...loved the audience singing along to "Your the Voice" and "Waltzing Matilda" before the actual gig, how amazing was hearing the whole joint singing along, gave the lads a great welcome to our city and they delivered, one of the most energetic gigs I've been too, the whole place reminded me so much of gigs back in the 90's!! Hope they come back and do it all again soon!
Holy cow, just heard this for the first time. I am a SSP fan and VS rocks this. Amazing job, outstanding audio. I am listening through my Bose wireless sound denting noise headphones. No commercial but seriously amazing sounds. Great way to drink you morning coffee on front porch.
Was waiting for end of video to ask this. Second comment, listened from shit ear buds on shit phone. Was blown away. Crispy bass, tight drumming, loved it.
Im a big fan of The Silversun Pickups and I admit I wasn't expecting much before I heard this. I was wrong. A great cover. Pays homage to the original with enough of a spin to make it their own. Good stuff!
Geesh this is still gotta be my favourite like a version, spewing it’s not on Spotify otherwise it’d for sure be in my top ten of the hottest of the decade. Love it what a tune
SWEET! Nice, clean and clear vocals throughout, guitar riffs outstanding, loved the hint of distortion! Rhythm section made this song their own! Great intro too! I really got in to it! I'll probably never get to see ya'll play tho', unless ya'll tour the US, in the Deep South, specifically North Alabama!!! Easy days, mello nights!!😎😌
His pronunciation and his high notes are vaguely similar to Billy's. That's about it. It's the song itself... the guitar, but specifically the bass that's reminiscent of the Mellon Collie, and to an extent Siamese Dream sound.
Amazing cover to one of my favorite tracks crazy that these guys are the same ones to write and play Covered in Chrome.. Viloent SoHo better be up there in R&R history.
Best fucken Like A Version for the year by far....finally!!! This year has been shit to say the least compared to the last couple of years and Violent Soho nailed one of the best songs by one of my favourite bands ever!
I remember it like it was yesterday... October 20th, Friday, 2016. I woke up at the crack of dawn, today was the day, like a version of the mighty Violent Soho, Brisbane's 3rd favourite foursome, of course behind State of Origin Series 2006-2009 and of course State of Origin Series 2010-2013. I threw on some boardies and my trusty Van Halen shirt that I was generously traded for my ripped Hawaiian button up mid-way through a solid 6 hour session of Karaoke at the Vic. Back when it was in the front room of course, when you weren't frowned upon for tipping one of your two glasses of sugarcane champagne all over yourself while belting out "Don't look back in anger" with a room-full of the rest of Brisbane's finest. I'm getting a bit off track here, but swear to god, I went down to Mitchelton's Blackwood street precinct, got myself a steak and mushroom pie and headed home in my falcon. I got to the driveway, chucked her in park and heard the morning duo revving up the country for this cover that you just watched. I made a split-second decision to run from the comfort of my car to the lounge room where I had the boombox waiting for me. I switched her to 107.7FM. Fuckin static. Wtf do I run back to my car? I found that antenna port on the back of the thing. I stuck the missus' cross-stitch needle into the back of it and had to hold one hand on the needle and the other on the trusty dogs eye. Luckily for me the neighbour's Jacaranda tree was in beautiful bloom, I felt like I was being pulled into Euphoria, one hand stretched out for the 3rd best Foursome in Brisbane, one for the local dogs eye. Best part was that the last swallow down of my pie timed in with the last sound of the cover. We finished together. They say it's times like these you need Minties, but speaking from experience, a Castlemaine Cranberry goes down just as well!
I must have watched this about a hundred times,the only thing I don't like is the fact my headphones can't go any louder,what an amazing cover by an amazing band,& the mix is so fucking perfect, absolutely beautiful 🎸👍❤️🤘
Seen SSPU at the Palladium in Santa Cruz last year.. Bad ass concert at a bad ass little venue... This took me back to that time. Well played Violent Soho.. Well played 🤘🏼😉
As far sound goes they fucking nailed that shit👌. the tone of this dude’s voice gives a smooth sound all together. best cover of I seen in a long time.
7 years later and I will keep on coming back after ridiculous amounts of replays. Which I reckon everyone should do!!!
I still come back to this. I remember hearing it live on triple j and how they explained they had jammed it the night before and it was 9min long. I wish they could have got the 9min version on the air. In my top 10 of the decade either way. Such a hidden gem.
Agreed, I keep coming back to this too. A little gift for us from VS
4 years later and I will keep on coming back!
I just discovered Violent Soho.....They absolutely F*kn Rock..!!!! I've been jammin out to them for several days now!! Virginia, USA
Well mate..They are a ripping band, you are only scratching the surface with them in terms of amazing Aussie rock bands..A petty most Australian's wouldn't even know who they or any other of our great bands are.
Check out the Aussie punk band the chats they are really good.
@@sklife-hb3wl a pussy is a piece of a skin wrapped in a pocket
Mate check out a few other aussie bands like the chats, sticky fingers, skegss and the DMA's!
check out dear seattle they are sad violent soho haha
Just heard of this band TONIGHT and I cannot stop listening! Where tf have I been? Under a rock with Patrick star?
Silversun picks caught lightning in a bottle for one song and made something timeless that stands up with any of the greats Bravo
I’ve been listening to music for my 57 years, the production here is the best I’ve ever heard.
OH MY GOD THE SOUND MIXING IN THIS IS INCREDIBLE. HOLY SHIT
the drumming did it for me. fantastic cover
He's going off! great musicians all of them
Johnny12Hats me too bro. I've always said, you should treat your drums like ur wife/gf and beat the shit out of them hahaha
The crash isn't high enough height wise but otherwise it's great
SSPU have a totally awesome drummer. he goes mental. check out some of their stuff.
I swear that crash is like 10 feet off the ground!
One of the best covers....the live engineer/producer/mixer ability to capture this in such perfect sounds 🫱🏼🫲🏼🫱🏼🫲🏼
*SCREAMING* 6 years later and this is still so fucking smooth and good as it was when they first performed it.
It's been years and I still get the chills every time I listen to this masterpiece. Pure gold.
This song always gets right into my soul no matter how many times I hear it. Great cover
Totally know where you are coming from Walt.....could listen to this (or the original) ten times over and not bat an eyelid.
7 years later and still the best like a version ever!!
fjm suburbs!!! iykyk
Really would love to hear them cover 1979. His voice would be perfect
oh my god, I could not agree more. after the intro of smells like teen spirit when James plays for a bit then Michael and luke come in I instantly thought of 1979
What’s the point of doing a cover if it sounds the same?....
so much yessss
Covers - when done right - are a truly beautiful thing. This - Nice - but not quite there yet
Jordan Bowey not all covers need to be transformative, sometimes it’s just one band jamming a song they like
I was driving home from Jindabyne. 48°c in my VW golf with no AC. Heard the first 10 seconds and increased the volume. 2 minutes later and my fiance was blocking her ears and screaming at me to turn it down. 2 years later I'm living in Bali and this song is still giving me chills. One of the best moments of my life. I will never forget that moment. I will never forget that day. I will never forget the moment this song made me fall back in love with music!
Still in Bali mate or moved on? I’d love to open a bar in Bali or Thailand dedicated to Aussie bands, music and our culture in general. Just without the lockout laws lol
@@shanadekelly9509 mate thats a sick idea! what first got me interested in aus was all the excellent bands like violent soho, muncie girls, smith street band , stiff richards ect that you guys have produced and ive now ended up over here! 10/10 would help at that bar
What’s the fiancés deal?
Best like a version ever, the sound is just incredible. 4122 forever!
What does 4122 mean I've never known
...still my absolute favorite song in 2022
2023 for me, always gonna be
I still remember seeing the music video on Steven's Untitled Rock Show on Fuse at like 7 AM while getting ready for school
whoever uploaded this to youtube for me to watch a trillion times, is a bloody legend
Candy Tocchini triple j did
I will never get sick of watching this. I need to hear this adleast 3 times a day
The Stereo on this live track is mind blowing.
Smells Like Lazy Eye
Drew Waterbury can confirm. I like it. I’m 45.
2020 and still my favourite like a version !🤘
6 years on and still the #1 LAV for me! ❤️✌🏻
Hell Fuck Yeah!!
Violent cover Silversun. It's like a dream \o/
Diego Maraschin Mine too, nice!
Love the guitar and bass. Gosh makes me want to be in a band so much.
Aqualove do it!!!
fwybwed I would love to but I don't know how to find members lol.
I'm in the same boat as you, Aqualove... I write a lot of songs. Some of them are pretty heavily inspired by Violent Soho, too. I just can't find people who are super into playing in a band using music I write as the basis for what we play. Idk, man. It's hard. Just keep trying.

Why am just now hearing this brilliance?! I'm blown the (bleep) away!! Bravo gentlemen!!
2024 and I still come back to this when I need to meditate
Literally
This song fills the area inside my ear phones like no other. Thank you Brisbane 😃👍🏖☀️🇦🇺
James's face is priceless after they finish. Makes my day. I can never tire of this vid. I hope Soho isnt a thing of the past. We need new material
Candy Tocchini check out their insta, it’s coming 🙌
This is superb. Utterly superb. Great band.
them goosebumps at 3:17... Love this band. Hope to see them one day.
I love it o much, year after year I still come back !
The days of coming home and turning the tv on and watching/hearing great music like this after a day of school
i just cant get a day without listening to this for about a year now, perfect cover of a perfect song. VS is brilliant!
'Oh we didnt come up with a clue, oh well, whatever, nevermind! Then the lil teaser intro.. fully got me!!
I loved the little tease of "Smells like teen spirit" by Nirvana at the start before continuing to play "Lazy Eye" by Silversun Pickups.
Great commentary by The Great Sloth Lord
+Alleyne Aviles Thank you very much, I love your profile picture, by the way. It looks really awesome.
Hell Fuck Yeah!!!
haha classic
it was actually Rape Me i think
My favorite band covering my favorite song. Makes me so happy. ❤
Luke's bass sounds SO good
joshDsho as soon as he came in that was all I could think.
I definitely agree, it sounds so damn good especially on surround sound earphones.
it all sounds good, these guys are definitely quality.
i listened first without my headphones and as soon as i heard the bass i had to grab my big headphones, amazing!
Haha yeah thanks dude
My favourite band covering my favourite song. This is perfect 🔥
I thought this as well
My old English teacher is Luke's brother. They look alike too. I find it really funny that one of the brother's is a private school's English teacher and the other an Australian alternative rock band's lead singer. Very different personas...
TOY0BOY0 I used to live with a guy in Brissy that was the vocalist of a punk band, community cervix, on weekdays he taught year 4 😀
TOY0BOY0 which luke
Luke Boerdam(Unsure of spelling. our teacher was fine with Mr Boredom)
Really funny considering Luke's unbearable accent. Can't believe a relative is an English teacher ;)
You havent seen a Rural english teacher then
2022 and I'm still coming back to bask in this LAV beauty
Their gig at Festy Hall on Halloween night was just "ace"...loved the audience singing along to "Your the Voice" and "Waltzing Matilda" before the actual gig, how amazing was hearing the whole joint singing along, gave the lads a great welcome to our city and they delivered, one of the most energetic gigs I've been too, the whole place reminded me so much of gigs back in the 90's!! Hope they come back and do it all again soon!
astrololee fuck yeah I was there too it was so good!!!
Holy cow, just heard this for the first time. I am a SSP fan and VS rocks this. Amazing job, outstanding audio. I am listening through my Bose wireless sound denting noise headphones. No commercial but seriously amazing sounds.
Great way to drink you morning coffee on front porch.
these boys sound C R I S P Y ✨the tone of the lead guitar shines through and is absolute perfection 👌
ahh yeah. so darn solid..love coming back to this song...
I love this version so much!!!!
Obviously an amazing cover, but the sound recording is SO GOOD
MW
no doubt. kudos to the engineer
ABC Techs know how to record.
I think the guys' name is Dave, he certainly knows his craft.
Word
Was waiting for end of video to ask this. Second comment, listened from shit ear buds on shit phone. Was blown away. Crispy bass, tight drumming, loved it.
Love these cats I'm an old punk and I can't get enough.
Im a big fan of The Silversun Pickups and I admit I wasn't expecting much before I heard this. I was wrong. A great cover. Pays homage to the original with enough of a spin to make it their own. Good stuff!
Geesh this is still gotta be my favourite like a version, spewing it’s not on Spotify otherwise it’d for sure be in my top ten of the hottest of the decade. Love it what a tune
Triple j are doing like a version hot 100!
Many violent soho . Such rock and roll .
Yess...
SWEET! Nice, clean and clear vocals throughout, guitar riffs outstanding, loved the hint of distortion! Rhythm section made this song their own! Great intro too! I really got in to it! I'll probably never get to see ya'll play tho', unless ya'll tour the US, in the Deep South, specifically North Alabama!!! Easy days, mello nights!!😎😌
One of the greatest drum tributes ever played
Guy started singing and I felt like I got slapped in the face by The Smashing Pumpkins.
Same here :)
His pronunciation and his high notes are vaguely similar to Billy's. That's about it. It's the song itself... the guitar, but specifically the bass that's reminiscent of the Mellon Collie, and to an extent Siamese Dream sound.
Grumble The original sounds like Smashing Pumpkins.
coriganish kinda vibe, totally
Silversun Pickups have often been compared to the Smashing Pumpkins, so that may be why, even if this is just a cover.
Happy day...never heard of this song before..10/10😊
Amazing cover to one of my favorite tracks crazy that these guys are the same ones to write and play Covered in Chrome.. Viloent SoHo better be up there in R&R history.
what a cover outstanding
They should release this cover on ALL platforms please
Great songs from triple J recently. I always loved this tune.
The recording and mixing on this absolutely blow my mind
Best fucken Like A Version for the year by far....finally!!! This year has been shit to say the least compared to the last couple of years and Violent Soho nailed one of the best songs by one of my favourite bands ever!
God damn these dudes fucking KILLED IT. What an experience.
Accidentally found the SSP oeiginal about a year ago. You guys did a great job. Thanks.
2 of my favorite bands
This is the most buttery smooth cover ever omg
So beautiful.
I've been waitinng... for a cover like this alllllll myyy lifffee...

What the fuck are you on I want some
The most queensland thing ever written.
Weed's a hell of a drug
Now this is culture.
Bro you're telling me Brisbanes most beloved band is a bunch of drug addicts? Australia needs to clean up their act if they want to be taken serious
Unbelievable cover. You could say the vocals alone change the entire genre of the song. Very promising band!
Anyone here in 2019 listening to this fkn GOLD
nobody this video was deleted
Meee
Great cover by the Pickups
2020 now :)
Kook Shredder nope. 2020 still as good as it gets. ,,,,, ish
I must have watched this about a hundred times,the only thing I don't like is the fact my headphones can't go any louder,what an amazing cover by an amazing band,& the mix is so fucking perfect, absolutely beautiful 🎸👍❤️🤘
So breath taking....
The mixing is indeed stellar
@2.09 gives me chills every time. So good.
Great cover, love love love the Silversun Pickups.
yet another outstanding performance....Lovin this sooo much!!!!!
Reminds me a lot of OK Cathedral. Both beautiful songs, and awesome performance and awesome sound recording ♥
If you know the original, you can see how these guys absolutely just paid respect to this song. I equally love both versions.
ive watched this a trillion times and i still cant get enough
Seen SSPU at the Palladium in Santa Cruz last year.. Bad ass concert at a bad ass little venue... This took me back to that time. Well played Violent Soho.. Well played 🤘🏼😉
Just cant get enough of it!!
yeah miss the live performances, got back to the yard and heard this was the cover ,such a good song ,thought they might punk it up ,but great job
What a f*cking excellent cover, gotta love Violent Soho.
From Nicaragua... beautifull version .. congratulations.
Masterful cover. Great sound quality. Every instrument sounds so clear
i love this band. thanks AU
As far sound goes they fucking nailed that shit👌. the tone of this dude’s voice gives a smooth sound all together. best cover of I seen in a long time.
Fantastic cover. Lazy Eye is such a low profile gem.
Great cover. Love these guys.
Was scared I’d like this more than the original, I thinks is a close second
Thing is, it's better and I hate to admit it
damn my fav band covering my fav song
Love this band
the drums are just absolutely insane.
Wow.
What a great cover.
Whenever you hear Luke Boerdam’s voice, you know it’s gonna be good.
I am absolutely not anywhere close to an audiophile, and I can tell the recording was done amazingly well 👌
These guys really rocked this one, awesome cover.
Trophy Eyes shirt fuck yeah
Really awesome job guys. Great version!
Its so calming
Love this so much
