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, RUclips 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 RUclips 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. ❤
@@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
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. ❤
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.
@@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.
I am from 🇨🇦. This is an actual band from Burlington Ontario Canada called "Walk Off The Earth". They are amazing and well known. Unfortunately on December 30th 2018 the bearded guy Mike Taylor, their keyboardist, died of natural causes in his sleep. 😥🙏🇨🇦
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.
I first saw this video back when I was in 8th grade. 8 years passed, I came back here only to realize Beared Guy is gone…but he live forever in our hearts. Rip Beared Guy.
@@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?
Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love, and it's an ache I still remember You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness 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 Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I'd done 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) Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (aah) I guess that I don't need that, though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know) Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know) I used to know That I used to know I used to know Somebody

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.
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.
@CabinFever52 Yes, here: ruclips.net/video/hOKuAigsrec/видео.htmlsi=2sflYshJZOdNsi6m but I still think this is better. Pentatonix's Mad World is bonkers brilliant.
The perfect song about the experience of being in a relationship and escaping from the narcissist. And we’ve all been there. Until we figure out that the only way to get away is to never leave an opening for them to find you and Close and lock every door to contact that you have in life. And so beautifully put together. Nobody does a cover like these guys.
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
I was listening to this tune when I was grade 5, I cannot believe that now I'm in college still go back to this specific video where I admired and first listened to WOTE. I thought also at first that this was the original cover of Somebody that I used to know.
Wow, I just found your video. You guys are amazing!!! I never saw anyone else have 5 people playing the guitar at once. You are all soooo talented! It was such a wonderful surprise to stumble across your video. I LOVE your version of this song MORE than the original! The depth is so powerful. I can't wait to hear more music from you guys, and if you ever tour please please let me know. Happy Happy New Year.
What a trip to watch! Acoustic guitar fan and occasional player here. This performance is nothing short of first-rate. You talented folks earned one of my (few) permanent bookmarks.
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.

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)

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
The vocals are incredible, and the rest is just a wonderful bonus. What a gem.
No clue how this showed up on my feed in Dec 2023. So cool, so weird. Absolutely amazing ;)
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
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
11 years later RUclips decided to recommend this piece of art to me😮😅
Wow. How creative. I’m jealous of the closeness you guys would have felt making this. Kudos to you all I loved it
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!!!!!
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.
Now it's been 11 years and I'm seeing it for the 1st time. To this day I've never seen anything like it. Absofknlutely amazing!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've been coming back to this masterpiece every year since 2019 and it always delivers
They have justified by singing it very close to the original song quality, probably the best performance compared to others who copied. Well done!
We finally have the answer to “how many normal musicians does it take to equal one Kent Nishimura.”
Holy shit how many hands does this guy have
Have any of you seen the parody of this clip?

@@winniepeg2020 dang bruh. U only realized this now? 😂😮
This band is actually amazing. I listened and watched their work. Awesome people with awesome music.
The finger flicker on the end with a straight face is cracking me up so hard😂😂😂
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
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. :)
ruclips.net/video/d9NF2edxy-M/видео.html
Yes. Putting their version here because they deserve credit
1st time I've heard this cover when I was 12 y.o
Now me is 24 and I still listening this masterpiese ,thanks guys!
10ys later still my favorite cover ❤
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.
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.
This was super cool. Talented to have 5 ppl play a guitar blows my mind. It was so unique. I wonder of they've played other songs like this.
Awesome talent out there! 🔥
And this song never ages. Forever iconic.
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.
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.
Love this. Teamwork. I want a whole album of this.
Pure genius. One of my favourite songs. Thank you for posting this brilliant piece.
I've never heard a cover song better than the original. I can't say that anymore. Excellent.

This one's a great version, for sure, but have you listened to Pentatonix?
@CabinFever52
Yes, here:
ruclips.net/video/hOKuAigsrec/видео.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 ruclips.net/video/R9mz_wXfMOU/видео.html
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
This is a fabulous rendition. So much talent that it strikes you deep inside
OK, firstly this is amazing, hands down the best cover of this I've heard, and the creativity is wonderful. Secondly, WTF RUclips, 11 YEARS?!?!
“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. 🌿
*"I think we've got it."* Dumbledore exclaimed enthusiastically.
Even the guitar never knew this that it could be played like this.
Love this masterpiece ❤
The perfect song about the experience of being in a relationship and escaping from the narcissist.
And we’ve all been there.
Until we figure out that the only way to get away is to never leave an opening for them to find you and Close and lock every door to contact that you have in life.
And so beautifully put together.
Nobody does a cover like these guys.
The percussionist is literally the unsung hero here.
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
amazing 11 years later still euphoric
I was listening to this tune when I was grade 5, I cannot believe that now I'm in college still go back to this specific video where I admired and first listened to WOTE. I thought also at first that this was the original cover of Somebody that I used to know.
the guy on the very right is like I got the easiest part
Chandlar George but he makes the ting sound
whatever. Every part is necessary. (Plus, watch some of their other videos.) (Also, refraining from playing is an excellent skill to have. just sayin)
@@febrianodeni2550 nyante bos. Tonton sampe abis. Hormat dikit kek, dia udah meninggal
Haha :D
Yeah but that's Eric Cantona so he is likely struggling with the terms of his own humanity in an otherwise empty and meaningless existence
The fella on the right is rocking his baby strings
Wow, I just found your video. You guys are amazing!!! I never saw anyone else have 5 people playing the guitar at once. You are all soooo talented! It was such a wonderful surprise to stumble across your video. I LOVE your version of this song MORE than the original! The depth is so powerful. I can't wait to hear more music from you guys, and if you ever tour please please let me know. Happy Happy New Year.
What a trip to watch! Acoustic guitar fan and occasional player here. This performance is nothing short of first-rate. You talented folks earned one of my (few) permanent bookmarks.
_This_ account, or Walk Off the Earth's? This is a reupload of the original video; not even sure why it's here, to be honest.
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.
Give the original people some love!
The band is Walk of the Earth and the video is 5 peeps one guitar. Go give them a like and support them directly!
Off*
Omg back 10 years later and so happy to be here❤️❤️❤️
I saw this one at first came out many many years ago. It makes its rounds every few years again.
It's still AWESOMER EH 💯
