I remember the first time I heard an acoustic version of this song on the radio I was driving around with a friend back in like ~2002 and we both started laughing hysterically. I keep coming back to this every time i need a laugh, so cheers for that
Interesting fact: Trapt composes all of their songs on acoustic guitars first, then records with the heavier rock elements. That's why all their songs sound so awesome in both styles.
@@CrumCringle I like hearing the difference but this sounds extremely different. If I heard this on acoustic first I would not be confident in releasing this as a single. With that said, I still feel like the lyrics come through strong.
I f~~kin love this ! Yes it's not an acoustic number .So they did it anyhow! I love that it's not perfect It's real . Go and listen to some autotuned Justin Bieber shit if that's your bag !
wow i haven't the song in a while and never acoustic and i liked the crap out of that version. i liked the vocal and heard all the pieces, but all I'm reading is like I was listening to a different song
he is singing fine. it definitely bad mixing. his voice is set way to high i hear reverb but not enough echo no pun intended. the bongos were a bad choice. a snare box would have been better. the balance is way off. he is a descent singer the band is in time. its mixing and this song should not be done in acoustic without more alterations.
that is a djembe, and he isn't playing it right. a cajon, or snare box as you call it, might be better, but if dude doesn't know how to playy a djembe, i hold little hope for a cajon. and your assessment that the song needs more 'alterations' is dumb. acoustic versions are meant to be raw and not overly processed. good day.
to me its just because when bands do these performances on the radio stations usually the lead singers microphones volume is 10x higher than the instruments and sounds terrible. . imagine that hummingbird being turned up all the way, i think that would make it bad ass. ... also i think the lead singers know theyre drowning out there own band , so they tone there voice down a little throws it all off....
Jason Cook that's not trapt's fault. That's the fault of whoever is running the soundboard. They didn't mic the drums properly and they need to turn down vocals and the trebble on the guitar, and turn up the bass a little.
meh this wasn't, but the acoustic version of this song they preformed on Lazer 103.3 is way better, trust me, this song is pretty good as acoustic, just find the right one.
I feel more closer to the song than before. Thank you because I love it. True fans doesn't care because it's the meaning of the song is more important to us.
@IzzyStorm1996 ONE it's not a Bongo, It's a Djambe, TWO It prolly sounds great, whoever is mixing this sound is horrible, Leave it to a radio station to not know how to run sound.

the singer is looking at the mic like he wants to eat it.....
pandelis bellos laughing so hard rn omg that's so true!
He thinks it's a dick

@@thecastermaster1 lmao
I don't know what all the hate is i think this is a good acoustic version of this song.
Thanks Anthony, now I feel headstrong and ready to take on anyone
The acoustic version of Headstrong nobody asked for.
i mean what other song should they do an acoustic for lol
Weird...bc I specifically searched for it-too. 🤔
But amazing ❤
awesome
I thought that was billy ray Cyrus playing the bongos o.o
Bongo Ray Cyrus
Nice song!
He sounds really good!
cool!!!!
Eu gostei, força para os caras!

Raider Joe interesting fact: you are gay af
It sounds like someone is trying to play a rock riff on an acoustic. Probably why it sounds like shit.
@@mojolito dont be a hater it doesn't sound the worst

This is somewhat sad...
the drummer is freakin huge!
Dont know what the f everyone was talking about here, awesome performance!!
Ca change, vraiment très très bonne version!
this really made me laugh hahahaha
This song sounds better acoustically when the singer is playing guitar and singing by himself.
For some reason Headstrong remember me my Emo Puberty when i was on full playing MK , RE4 and Silent Hill 2
Damn so many haters on the comments. This is pretty cool
just listen to it on .5 speed, you're welcome
right.... .75 is better
I didn’t think this song could get any worse...
Yeahh it is
Is there a full concert of this???? Thanks!
Some songs are better if left in the original version untouched. This is one of them.
I love this version ;)
Noice 🤘🏽
I f~~kin love this ! Yes it's not an acoustic number .So they did it anyhow! I love that it's not perfect It's real . Go and listen to some autotuned Justin Bieber shit if that's your bag !
Don't know what everyone here's saying about his voice, that guitar tone on the other hand...
I was thinking the singer sounds good but guitars definitely weak.
@Apollo04103 I don't know, even though the sound is different the more vocal focused approach works for this song and the guitar isn't terrible
haha He delivers it like he's doing some super complex singing..but it's just slightly above mid-tier.
It’s low tier
@@districtboard3750both if yiu can fck each other. Low tier alabama products
@57wookie I agree .
is it just me or does he have a large mouth?
That's what I'm thinking
I am getting Tool and Meshuggah vibes
This is really good acoustic I don't know wtf you guys are talking about.
Totally agree
Youre insane
good lifting song, very responsible for kicking some ass when i was a young man.
James Gadinski 🤣 responsible for taking some ass.. man ass
@horizon426 So what if he is... this song is still awesome.
wow i haven't the song in a while and never acoustic and i liked the crap out of that version. i liked the vocal and heard all the pieces, but all I'm reading is like I was listening to a different song
Such a good song
@filteredglitch IKR THANKS
Great!
which is bass?
billy ray cyrus on the bongo!
This sounds amazing! They sound great live, and in studio. One of the best bands ever i would say.
9 años pasaron y resien veo este temaso
Muito bom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#Harambe
this will never not be funny
@JJO117
the one that looks like the Sauce Boss on the left xD
I love this song acoustic! I just adds a little something more
@MCR4life90210 yes
how could you rip on this, acoustic is way harder to do than the the original and in my opinion this is awesome.
Acoustic exposes if a singer is actually good or not
You are correct. Not a great vocal performance.
It's a good one what d'you f say?
3:43 in speed 0.5
i couldnt even tell he was sick in this video (:
The bass guitarist looks like the guy from Epic Meal Time.
when it sounds this good unplugged.. you know it is the real fkn deal.. brilliant
Best part of it was at @4:39
A little different when your in a studio vs.a club or arena.Still awesome.

It's amazing live!!!!!! O.o
Sideburn game is headstrong
When Kyles get emotional
is it the same dude with the band
Rip
@drummerman324
used to love this song. since listening to this version i have deleted this entire band from everything i own. simply terrible.
Agreed. This is fucking terrible and I don't even hate the original.
That seems a bit extreme.
@@ryane6545 just a bit
@JJO117 The bigger one with no pick.
Sometimes, the singer has Maynard James Keenan's intonations
Please explain to me how an opinion can be wrong...
@greenmonkey152 How original.
I always loved Traped awesome group and sound
The bass is completely out of the mix??
This is great good shit.
he is singing fine. it definitely bad mixing. his voice is set way to high i hear reverb but not enough echo no pun intended. the bongos were a bad choice. a snare box would have been better. the balance is way off. he is a descent singer the band is in time. its mixing and this song should not be done in acoustic without more alterations.

+ZeCockOfTheWalk wellI have my opinion and thats your opinion. its just music and not that big of a deal.
Hes better then decent...watch more of him singing live hes defintley great at singing.
@drummerman324 .....Justin Bieber?
This is so funny
What the hell guys you should know how to make this sound badass without the studio
@horizon426 No, but you are
trapt aaron daniel axon fernando munoz serg pavon ricky gonzalez
maybe if he slowed his singing down some but I agree with most not good this way
agreed
theirs a white bottle on ground WTF
doesn't his mouthe look wide? XD or he just opens it really.
He sounds awesome live
This is just one of those songs that isn't good acoustic
to me its just because when bands do these performances on the radio stations usually the lead singers microphones volume is 10x higher than the instruments and sounds terrible. . imagine that hummingbird being turned up all the way, i think that would make it bad ass. ... also i think the lead singers know theyre drowning out there own band , so they tone there voice down a little throws it all off....
thetubbsohio I totaly agree here, you can barely hear that drum, barely hear the guitar compared to the singing! I usually like acoustic better.
Jason Cook that's not trapt's fault. That's the fault of whoever is running the soundboard. They didn't mic the drums properly and they need to turn down vocals and the trebble on the guitar, and turn up the bass a little.
Halimo Ahmed I know I'm some years but there's a version on RUclips I heard a while back and it sounds friggen great.
This is just one of those songs that isn't good. period.
meh this wasn't, but the acoustic version of this song they preformed on Lazer 103.3 is way better, trust me, this song is pretty good as acoustic, just find the right one.
God has not given us a spirit of timidity...
Pause at 1:06
He looks so awesome ! xD
What is wrong with 2 people
This sounds like a group of high schoolers in a shitty band trying to be hardcore. The "Uh" before the first chorus really sells it.
I feel more closer to the song than before. Thank you because I love it. True fans doesn't care because it's the meaning of the song is more important to us.
