do you guys actually make money from RUclips even though you're singing covers of other people's songs? Do you have to get permission or pay royalties up to the original artist?
@@robertj.ritchie2979 if I'm not mistaken you as the person making the cover will end up paying a mechanical royalty to the artist or songwriter for your cover through services like Distrokid, for example!!!
@@robertj.ritchie2979 yes they do, and they pay all royalties (it is easier to subscribe to agencies that deal with that, and I think they did c.a. 2 years ago - because singers, writers, producers.. all have claims)
You guys are just going through my childhood this month 😂 it looks so strange with just the 3 of you in this setup. Fun fact this is the 3rd 3 person layout with only Audra being in all 3
Did I miss something? Where is Matt? I haven't seen him in the videos lately. Awesome ❤️ cover as always 😊 I knew eventually this song would be covered. I love 💘 it. And of course Audra looking as beautiful as ever 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've been a Billy Joel fan for almost fifty years, and so I was thrilled to see you cover this song, although it's strange to hear Audra referring to herself as a "downtown man".
Hi guys or should i say legends,it finally hit me of a great song for you guys to cover. I would be truly shocked if Americans of your generation of even heard of this band but trust me back in the day they were seminal. The song is "Living in the 70's" and this Australian band "Skyhooks" was held in the highest regard and right up there in local band history with AC/DC,INXS and Midnight Oil even though they never broke worldwide. The song is the title track from there debut album released in 1974. They where way ahead of there time taking to the stage in costumes and makeup before an American band called Kiss borrowed the idea and took it to a whole new level.
Love this arraingment of this classic Billy Joel song. You made it your own and brought ot up to date! Leather jacket was a nice touch from the original video!
This is a very well written song, fun fact Billy Joel says he took influence from classical composers like Mozart! And you guys did an awesome job with it!
Nostalgia really hit hard listening to this, this song by Westlife was what I begged my mom to put on every night before I went to bed since as far back as I could remember❤
Yep I love this cover like Billy Joel loves his uptown girl. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. May y'all have a good one. Have fun take care
2024... I remember listening to their first album in 6th grade with my first gf. God I just aged myself. Like a fine wine simple plan has aged well. Not many bands are so lucky
This sounds great! I believe I could well have been one of the people who suggested this song, but I had no idea it was going to sound THIS GOOD! Damn! I loved it!
i think with a doo-wop backing vocal even in this "rock" version of the song, I think it would sound really good instead of the layering of voices they used instead. but lead vocals, she is killing it.
Love Billy i’m so happy and excited about his newest song hopefully he makes a new album and if he tours and comes to sweden i’ll see him with my mom we’re both huge fans anyway thanks guys great as always 💕
Great cover, like many before. Snowfall and the guitarist you tried before look great. F²11 is such a train that cannot be stopped so easily. I always write positive comments. Thank ❤️ you.
Nossa fico cada vez mais APAIXONADO♥ pelo seu trabalho ... linda canção do meu tempo de adolescência ( kkk ) , que Deus abençõe sempre seus caminhos e parabens pelo seu trabalho e Banda ...bjs aqui de Ouro Fino Sul das Minas Gerais - Brasil
Just spam the Joel in a row please! We need more! For the longest time next. We need Audra in the coke bottle frames and her crew matching the backup from the music video. Just recycle the setting and "janitor" from the "Time of my life" cover you did! 💛

Beautifully done and sounds like fun original😊

I would really like to see you do "Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult in acoustic, or something like that!

So I'm not the only one that thought I was back in elementary school when the opening bars kicked in?
I think its only me feelin that they get me to remember my childhood
The contribution this band gives us is incredible.
You aren’t wrong
They are just an awesome group, and Audra carries herself so well… awesome woman…
My favorite Billy Joel song by one of my favorite bands - Dreams do come true
LOVE this classic Billy Joel song, and I love your cover of it!
The great love of my life was an Uptown Girl.... thank you so much for a perfect cover of a perfect song! Thank you!
You simply slayed by bringing up this unforgettable classic!!! Congrats y'all!!! 🥰
The song makes me remember when I was young, this song often appeared on MTV, First To Eleven is really cool
素敵なパフォーマンスありがとうございます🥰👏
My daughter (9 months old) enjoys your performances. From Turkey with love!
Did I miss something? Where is Matt? I haven't seen him in the videos lately.
Awesome ❤️ cover as always 😊 I knew eventually this song would be covered. I love 💘 it. And of course Audra looking as beautiful as ever 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think he left the group or taking time off not 100 percent sure
"taking time off from the band" is publicist speak for rehab.
A great female vocalist like Audra singing this song gives it a wonderful new dimension.
I love her voice. ❤
This is a Rock band with a beautiful voice !!
So sweet, old and kind song!
Fantastic! I always love what you do to a song. Rock On!
I've been a Billy Joel fan for almost fifty years, and so I was thrilled to see you cover this song, although it's strange to hear Audra referring to herself as a "downtown man".
she's got the black leather jacket, so there's definitely some old school downtown tomboy vibes there^^
:)
Every Thursday i come over here and think :Are you serious? wow ,you guys are totally awesome!
This song is a classic from 80's... Today was excellent, Audra and friends! 👏
Wow 🤩 lol 😂 you sound like rainbows 🌈 and lollipops 🍭
@@shanebersett3050 So cutiest your comment, friend! ♥
Pure talent! This girl and this voice=unrecognized moment, when I falling ín love little bit... 🤗🤭😍
@FirstToEleven, my wife & I saw Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden on Valentines Day & y’all did a FANTASTIC job on Uptown Girl 🥳🥳
Audra Looks really cool with this Leather jacket:)
She looks great 👍
Very stylish and fusion girl. I have never seen such the outfit in my life. She is naturally very beautiful so anything suits her. Looks ❤️🔥
@andrey_s_it yes she is very beautiful 😍 looks like a model.
and the cropped top.
@@sinbadbond8460 she is super 🔥

Моя любименьйшая композиция из детства! Большое спасибо за качественный кавер с женским вокалом
I like that metal crunch, it really compliments the vocals. This band rocks, I didnt forget you timekeeper.
Love this arraingment of this classic Billy Joel song. You made it your own and brought ot up to date! Leather jacket was a nice touch from the original video!
I LOVE this cover of Uptown Girl, thanks ever so much, and am looking forward to watching you live in concert on 27 April in Buffalo NY !
Is it okay to be this beautiful when you smile?
Спасибо, вы супер. Музыканты шикарные а вокалистка просто нет слов! Очень люблю вас!
"Its Still Rock n Roll to Me" would be another good one to cover.
This is a very well written song, fun fact Billy Joel says he took influence from classical composers like Mozart! And you guys did an awesome job with it!

the regular bass player, taking the guitar this time, Awesome !!! nice one !!!
My cousin used this song as a wedding first dance and I've loved it ever since. Well done, and well timed with Billy Joel trending :)
She is awesome!! This version is the best by so far
Love it, Audra definitely dressed the part! 🤍
Nice. I remember as a kid having the Album and the Chipmunks version of this song and listening to it like crazy.
I was also thinking about the Chipmunks! I listen to them on RUclips sometimes. 😄
This was my favorite song back in high school about 40 years ago
Aí sim 🎶 👏 🎶 👏 Faz tempo que eu não ouvi essa música , i haven't heard this song in a while 🎶👏🎶👏🎶👏🎶👏 show,
Brasileiro em todos os lugares...
Nostalgia really hit hard listening to this, this song by Westlife was what I begged my mom to put on every night before I went to bed since as far back as I could remember❤
One of my favorites growing up in NYC. :)
Yep I love this cover like Billy Joel loves his uptown girl. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. May y'all have a good one. Have fun take care
Nostalgic with punk vibes, just what I needed 🤘 never stop!
I thought so, too. Maybe Green Day covers Billy Joel?
God bless you guys for these amazing covers
I love how whatever song they cover, it's still rock n' roll to me! 🤘
2024... I remember listening to their first album in 6th grade with my first gf. God I just aged myself. Like a fine wine simple plan has aged well. Not many bands are so lucky
When I was at school I liked this song, apparently it was also sung by First To Eleven, really cool
Omg I love the deeper sound of it
a really phenomenal song in the 2000s, really cool First To Eleven, I like Audra when she sings in her signature style
Ive been reliving this song from my childhood for the last week and you guys post this ❤️ mum loved this song
That is a much better performance, and a much better message!
From R.S.A.
Drummer really knocks this one out of the park.
This sounds great! I believe I could well have been one of the people who suggested this song, but I had no idea it was going to sound THIS GOOD! Damn! I loved it!
O som ficou muito top....da hora... Aliás a maioria das interpretações 🫵👏👏👏👏
I always play your songs..because I like the music..greetings from Indonesia
The amount of bangers and nostalgia you guys fill me with 😍😍😘
I love this song and you guys nailed it!!👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️🎤🎤🎸🎸🥁🥁🎶🎶🥰🥰
Love it! You guys nailed it again. :) Audra, you're an incredible singer! :)
i think with a doo-wop backing vocal even in this "rock" version of the song, I think it would sound really good instead of the layering of voices they used instead. but lead vocals, she is killing it.
Great performance and video. Fun cover by FirstToEleven.
Your cover of "Uptown Girl" is just awesome as hell!! 😎❤️🎵
Billy Joel would definitely love this!! ❤
Who else has been waiting for this one?!🔥
Not me. There are too many remakes and covers of older, good things already.
Just eye candy
Love Billy i’m so happy and excited about his newest song hopefully he makes a new album and if he tours and comes to sweden i’ll see him with my mom we’re both huge fans anyway thanks guys great as always 💕
She's pretty
I rediscovered this song today, and it was refreshing to see your cover
Something about her eyes always catches my attention. She’s awesome btw.
i just rediscovered this classic jam a few days ago and now here you are with an awesome cover; love it!
I love how you changed the music in this cover. Excellent job
good job on this cover. brings back fond memories
Nice conversion of a great song to make it work for you. I saw this live and don't dislike your version.
Really like this Band!
To me, it feels like this song just begs to modulate up in the last chorus. Great cover
Really good job with this. Nice to see a cover where it is more like a F211 forward version instead of more of a straight recreation,
Such amazing cover i loved this so much it was the best
Прикольная песня и отличный кавер!
Great cover! None of you ever disappoint!!!
Great cover, like many before. Snowfall and the guitarist you tried before look great. F²11 is such a train that cannot be stopped so easily. I always write positive comments. Thank ❤️ you.
Since the nostalgia has been real the last few covers, would love to hear your take on Laura Brannigan's Gloria
Nothing you all can't sing or play! 👏👏👏👏👏❣ #814!
Living on a prayer.
Awesome cover of the best Billy Joel song!
Literally slayed

Love your music and videos. You're all so awesome! Thank you for sharing. :)
Never cease to impress. Keep it up!

I always appreciate the vibe you give to a song. Great job again🤘
That lady vocalist looks even prettier as I watch all your covers.
First to elven please sing the longest time by Billy Joel? Please and thank you!
this was a great arrangement of the song by your band!
This is my favorite of your covers!
Great job Audra ❤
Awesome job Audra ❤
Great cover!!! I love you Audra❤
Covers. Covers. Covers. That’s ALL we hear and days. Can those people come up with something ORIGINAL? I didn’t think so.
Totally knocked it outta the park!
Have you ever done any Def leopard? If not could you? That'd be awesome!
Nice cover!!!!! Fresh take!
Excellent, i'm a fan
