    How can anyone down-vote any singer who can legitimately tackle this four octave nightmare of a song challenge - and a killer bass riff. Kicked this song’s ass.

    this is one of those songs that, as a vocalist, is really humbling.. You think you have range until you try this song... transitioning to the falsetto so seamlessly is real talent...

      Not just that but this and the original is commonly a key higher than standard E singers. It usually works best with capo 1 engaged. This is sung at capo 2 yikes

      The original key which has that high E note is very hard to hit, I've only managed to successfully hit it a handful of times haha 😂 but I can hit and sustain the high B flat note in Ultravox's Vienna 👍

      Most people are 2&4 clappers. Then there's people who were in band in school and have it ingrained in them to move on 1&3 and then get self conscious and try to work over to 2&4, but rarely stay there for more than four bars.

    • @CaptSkidmark
      @CaptSkidmark 3 года назад +13

      I'm convinced it's a trait of Northern European extraction, after years of listening to a radio show (Prarie Home Companion, which I no longer listen to) based out of the US northern midwest (heavily populated by white Swedes, Finns, Norwegians, N. Germans, etc) with a live audience whose rhythmic clapping sounds more like machine-gun fire than it does keeping time to a beat. When the company would tour the country, the audience's ability to keep decent time increased with distance and dilution of the demographics.

    • @Al45345good
      @Al45345good 3 года назад +8

      Yeah..... those 5 seconds were painful watch. However, they may be on rhythm in 50 years when rivers Cuomo, weezers singer, turns 60 and starts to slow down when he performs that song.

Man, he can carry a tune properly.

      You got into them after they released Pinkerton, but before they released Green? Nobody did that! lol Kudos to you!
      I'm 40, I got into them with Blue and when Pinkerton came out my senior year of high school, it seemed like no one gave a damn about them anymore.
      Those were dark years until Green was released and suddenly everyone was talking about how great they were again, and then somehow that morphed into Green was ok but Pinkerton was better, when no one would have even given that album the time of day just a few years earlier.

      @@RicoLen1 I got into Weezer after Pinkerton and before Green. I bought Pinkerton very cheap from the bargain bin in a CD store. I'm not even sure why I bought it, even though it was cheap. Maybe I liked the cover. You're right. No one would have cared about Pinkerton if the band didn't blow up with Green. Now people want to look down on the band for going with a more pop sound after the rawer sound failed commercially and almost broke up the band.
