I love this cover. The electric guitar and his voice add the tortured and emotional feeling that George Michael misses with his smooth sax, though I love the original just as much.
Exactly. That tortured, tormented element is what i love about this cover!!! George's version was a more classy, sad lament. While this version actually captures the very deep, dark and visceral feeling of regret. Like you made the biggest mistake in your life for carelessly destroying the bond you had with a someone you loved dearly. Fantastic cover all around.
There is no comparisson between this version or the original. It's two different genres of music, I also like this one better, but, it is not because this version is better, it's just that I relate more with this genre of music. For example, my parents prefer the original version. It depends on tastes, not the actual quality of the version, because both are very good.
justin girard what do you mean gay? Careless whisper is one of the best songs (imo) I’ve ever heard. Regardless of specific tastes of music and whatnot, the saxophone solo is still amazing.
I feel so unsure As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor As the music dies, something in your eyes Calls to mind a silver screen and all those sad goodbyes I'm never gonna dance again Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Time can never mend The careless whispers of a good friend To the heart and mind Ignorance is kind And there's no comfort in the truth Pain is all you'll find I'm never gonna dance again Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose the crowd Maybe it's better this way We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say We could have been so good together We could have lived this dance forever But now who's gonna dance with me? Please stay I'm never gonna dance again Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you
There's quire a few covers I prefer over the originals. Nonpoint's In The Air Tonight, Lacuna Coil's Enjoy the Silence, Mushroomhead's Crazy, Johnny Cash's Hurt and One. There are so many more but I don't want to spend all day typing out a list of great covers
Great cover! Loved it. For those that don't quite get the video, it's all references to the 80's. A-team, teenwolf, q-bert, back to the future, street fighter, karate kid, greatest american hero, frogger..... the list goes on and on. Each sequence in the video reminds me of something from the 80's. The video has less to do with the song than the era the song came out.
Legitimately came to this version and just got home from seeing the movie. This would have made it more dramatic though and it was just too sarcastic. Lol
I am George Michaels #1 fan, loved him since I was 9 years old in 1984. this is the only remake/cover I have ever liked and love the video too. I love Seether too. 💖
If only all covers could turn out so well. It takes true talent to remake a song so well it sounds like an original. They do a great job of preserving the greatness of the original song despite completely changing the character with their rock version.
Muito bom. Lembro de ter visto esse clip no canal de TV a cabo pela MTVHITS. Escuto até hoje. já se passaram 14 anos. Escutem jovens que estão na casa dos 20. Aproveitem muito bem e façam bom uso dele. O tempo corre demais.
To everyone saying WTF at the video (I'm guessing most of you weren't around in the 80's?) the original song was as 80's gem and the video is full of the Seether guys navigating through an 80's style game and besting all kinds of 80's pop culture icons with the aid of other 80's icons which I find is in keeping with this cover of the song besting the original. Nice homage to George Michael too. Nice bit of nostalgia, brilliantly done! ;-) -an 80's baby
Time can never mend The careless whispers of a good friend To the heart and mind Ignorance is kind There's no comfort in the truth Pain is all you'll find- I miss you Billy RIP
Without a doubt the best music video that I've ever seen. Seriously, Grunge knows how to music video... we have prime MTV and amazingly talented people to thank for that.
People who make fun of George Michael have no idea of his talent. The man isn't famous because he's clueless. This is a great song made better by another talented band.
as life long ''headbanger'' i have always been hesitant to admit this is one of my favorite tunes.. ... but this version makes me comfortable with that admission .
I like George Michael and he’s a legend but how can anyone say this version isn’t the best…. This is literally one of the best songs ever. This is a masterpiece
F**** bro this band is literally the sound of perfection and nostalgia!!! such a talent and such a an amazing sound... my only hope is that the keep making this gems 50 more years!!!!
The video is using different things which came out the same time as the original song, for example reference to 80's classics and retro games blah blah blah, IT'S A FREAKING AWESOME COVER
No, it doesn't. But did you notice in the game the word "Wham" was repeated many times? But yeah; the video does not much the game. But neither does the original. There is a reason I am reading the comments...
The whole point of the video is to show all the bullshit that went down in 2008. It's actually genius, you've just gotta be smart enough to look between the lines.
You don't have to be smart to understand.... The whole power and emotion of this song is lost with the video. The idea for the video is awesome but not for this song
I read an article in Guitar magazine a few years back about the Seether recording and production notes of this song. The string arrangements are played via Roland guitar synth, the old system that needed the installation of ROLAND synth pickup into your guitar in order to communicate with the Roland pedal board processor, that in turn, produced the unique analog synth string sound.
I love this cover. The electric guitar and his voice add the tortured and emotional feeling that George Michael misses with his smooth sax, though I love the original just as much.

George's version was a more classy, sad lament. While this version actually captures the very deep, dark and visceral feeling of regret. Like you made the biggest mistake in your life for carelessly destroying the bond you had with a someone you loved dearly.

Should hear it live Seether always cs great set🎸

For example, my parents prefer the original version. It depends on tastes, not the actual quality of the version, because both are very good.
This version does have more emotion in it, though.
got me into Seether
Gosma Dourada how can you like the orignal?? Its the gayest song ive ever heard
I agree, I am affiliated with this type of music better, and I prefer this version better, the original is still pretty good though.
justin girard what do you mean gay? Careless whisper is one of the best songs (imo) I’ve ever heard. Regardless of specific tastes of music and whatnot, the saxophone solo is still amazing.
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and all those sad goodbyes
I'm never gonna dance again
Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
And there's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose the crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay
I'm never gonna dance again
Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
A cover that actually surpasses the original. Well done, Seether!
There's quire a few covers I prefer over the originals. Nonpoint's In The Air Tonight, Lacuna Coil's Enjoy the Silence, Mushroomhead's Crazy, Johnny Cash's Hurt and One. There are so many more but I don't want to spend all day typing out a list of great covers
+Brandon Clark I love Johnny Cash's version of Hurt, he outdone Trent. I also love this cover better, and I love Metallica 's cover of Turn The Page
+emily edens Shinedown also outdid Lynard Skynard with their cover of Simple Man
+Brandon Clark oh definitely!!! I forgot that one
+Brandon Clark easy now. getting a little carried away. but ill listen again now just to make sure.
Its 2015... Still waiting for this game to come out... :(
brett guillaume LOL :-DDDDDDDDD
+The Batman well half life 3 is coming out so im still waiting
+Damon Sokolowski Best games always get delayed
+brett guillaume The same for a HD Remaster/Remake of Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication.
Duuuuuuude that would be perfect
Who’s with me in 2024 to this song 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Absolutely!
Great tune done perfect.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
🙋🏻♂️
Real
Great cover! Loved it.

The video has less to do with the song than the era the song came out.
not to mention a bunch of atari games we all played
The black car during the guzzler portion is a reference to the original music video.
See I interpret the video as all of the issues facing the US economy during the Great Recession.
Alain H I believe you are probably forgetting the television series Knight Rider with David Hasslehoff
Mr. T …..Fools!!!
The best version of Careless whisper i've ever heard
This version should have played after deadpool XD Edit: It took me five years to realize my grammatical error!
Legitimately came to this version and just got home from seeing the movie. This would have made it more dramatic though and it was just too sarcastic. Lol
+Zach Jackson should have
That ending for deadpool was the best😂
no
Zach Jackson bello
Didn't know they covered this song. Brilliant version.
An amazing tribute to the 80's.
Даже не знал, что эту песню можно исполнить на столько мощно. Просто шикарная версия. На мой взгляд, она лучшая. Браво Seether.
I am George Michaels #1 fan, loved him since I was 9 years old in 1984.
this is the only remake/cover I have ever liked and love the video too.
I love Seether too. 💖
blabbermouth ,Boy,you are as
Old as a dinosaur.,😮
I love their cover of this song! Normally I don't care for covers, but they nailed it. :-)
Even nirvana covers? Damn
I'm not usually into cover versions but bloody hell this is amazing!!! I never even knew Seether did this song 🤘😎🤘
They also covered black honey by thrice and it’s amazing as well
If only all covers could turn out so well. It takes true talent to remake a song so well it sounds like an original. They do a great job of preserving the greatness of the original song despite completely changing the character with their rock version.
one of the best covers ever for sure. an all time classic!
i´m sure, this is THE best cover of any song, period
all the soul is catched, layers added...PERFECT JOB DONE!
RIP George Michael.

Rest in pieces
Wham!😖
@@nunyabidness4655 I never knew he was apart of wham until I read your comment and looked it up.
Man created so much live by proxy, a life well lived
Still the best cover of this song 🤘🏼🎸🥁
Nunca tinha visto essa "versão" ...
Simplesmente, excelente!!
Realmente
O rock mais uma desmetificando a ideia errada de alguns que é só" barulho".
What a tribute to George Michael!

Addicted to this cover
Im never gonna dance again. these guilty feet have got no rythm.
Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool, I should've known better than to cheat a friend ;o

Agreed! I know it’s an older cover but, Seether has blown me away. Their writing and Shauns voice is effortlessly talented

+Szaruzi xD
Lol

Are you sure that it doesn't say "Something in you rise"?,
Anyhow, you made spit my cereal all over the table now I must clean, Thanks, lol.

amazing, i can't stop listening to this!!! the original song is great, but this cover scratches your soul, love it!!

Pain is all you'll find- I miss you Billy RIP
Best cover of this song, for a song that wasn't easy to cover given the guy who did it first.
Quando esculto essa música, lembro da versão que o nosso sentimento fez ❤
This is not a cover this is art ♥️🤟🏻
Honestly the video is my favorite part because it will always remind me of the G4 show Code Monkeys
Came here yesterday to appreciate the song...
RIP G.M.
Seether impresses me... Great band I will never get tired of listening to them! This cover ROCKS!
This is when they became Wham!
They earned the exclamation mark.
..and the Norsemen came out of the closet like the Vikings of old....
100 percent better than Wham's version. I love that it has more seething, emotion and rawness. Shaun killed it!
Notice how it says "Wham!" when he hits something.
Nemoris Inferioris I actually really didn’t notice that until right now till I saw this comment
I just noticed right before I saw your comment. Such an easy joke and I totally missed it.
I relate so much to the pain portrayed in this cover of such a great song.
I am not disappointed!!! Seether nailed the rock version
Without a doubt the best music video that I've ever seen. Seriously, Grunge knows how to music video... we have prime MTV and amazingly talented people to thank for that.
Don't you miss mtv music videos?
@@omarmoran3097 so much
Summer of 2009 I remember blasting this song. Had just recently graduated from HS. Good times
WOW...Blown Away!
Took this song to a whole new amazing level! His voice was made for this exact song🌟🌟 it's like fine 🍷
People who make fun of George Michael have no idea of his talent. The man isn't famous because he's clueless. This is a great song made better by another talented band.
For a song they did as kind of a joke and just for fun as a Valentines Day song, they sure as heck rocked the hell out of it. I love this version.
This song is so beautifully done by them. I prefer it to all other versions I've heard.
This song is amazing. I love Seether's cover the best.
Wow this mom of 4 and one lost to drowing in 1995 and 4 grandkids...Fragile Tranquility, Tiger Lily and Dairyblonde Community...love this.
Exactly what I needed. I wanted to listen to this song but the original felt too soft for my mood. This is perfection ❤
Im old now but I dont listen to the music (70's-80,s) Oddly enough my 26 old son listens to what I did...Saw Seether in concert...AWESOME show!!!😎
Thank TikTok for showing me this masterpiece 😮
Damn im old. I named every reference in that music video (born 1983)
Ahh me too, 1980
Jessica Brown and me - 1991 ...
Try being born in 1969. Those reference were already old when I was a teenager!
pitfall is the only one thats clearly obvious to me i used to play that on the atari
+Ian O'Hara HaHa! I'm smiling because I made every reference as well....:D
Seether rocks this song. Thanks guys
Who's hear this song with me in 2018?...
Hail yeah..🤘😎🤘🏹
Did you mean "who is listening to this song in 2018?". It's 2019 already. Time to update your comment. ;)
Personally I thought this was better than the original
I have no words...to say what I feeling...💔 Stay safe dear
as life long ''headbanger''
i have always been hesitant to admit this is one of my favorite tunes..
... but this version makes me comfortable with that admission .
now they need to make Seether- Careless Whisper feat. Sexy Sax Man
Epic sax guy *
-2011 meme guy
Seether cured my ball cancer
Omg lol
TheBurningTurd lmao
I like George Michael and he’s a legend but how can anyone say this version isn’t the best…. This is literally one of the best songs ever. This is a masterpiece
If it had to be redone, I don't think anyone could have done a better job than Seether. LOVE IT!
I started watching this video thinking that this version wouldn't do justice to the original song... How wrong I was!
powerful video, tells you a lot about the players in the system. Back to the future final clue...
love this video!... makes me wish someone would start up Code Monkey's again!
F**** bro this band is literally the sound of perfection and nostalgia!!! such a talent and such a an amazing sound... my only hope is that the keep making this gems 50 more years!!!!
Great rendition of the song, but the video is classic!...~Terrie~
Powerful cover! Love it.
So many years were passed and i am here again.
This song..great cover...this video...faf!!!
Best cover i like more than original song..
Awesome cover
As an investor, I loved this video. I don't typically sub to artists, but I have to.
I was dirt poor in the 80's but I still see most of the references. This was a great video.
Cover excelente, parabéns seether!!! 🔥
siempre será mi canción de rock favorita!!
Born 1978. This 8-bit video remind me old, good times. How i miss it. I think i'm old :P
Best cover ever
The video is using different things which came out the same time as the original song, for example reference to 80's classics and retro games blah blah blah, IT'S A FREAKING AWESOME COVER
GODZ_CKYSK8ER2K13 why not
Oh my good. Amazing
Broken is pretty much my favourite song,
But damn this is good!!!
i mean oh my god lol.
it's 2024 ...and we're STILL waiting for this game to come out
The meaning of this video is priceless
Good song. Weird video.
+BloodRavyne True u.u
+BloodRavyne D: true.... the song sounds good its a good cover, but the video just messes it up .
It's made to be like an 80's video game since this was originally an 80's song
+BloodRavyne as a 90's kid, I really liked it :)
+Holly Harrison no shit! you think thats helpful? put down the selfie stick you conceited fuckin waste of new flesh
I love George Michael but I love this version..amazing..
+Kate Mc I prefer this one :D
+MSTRlegit Yeah, I just prefer it because I love the voice of seether
+MSTRlegit I agree with you.. these guys are amazing..I love seether. more emotion in this song.
+MSTRlegit very true. alot more emotion and feeling..x
Probably one of the funniest music videos I've seen.
Finally a girl that doesn't give a shit what they say about her. Nicely done Anna.
The videoclip reaaally doesnt match the song lol
neither does hoobastank's "the reason"
No, it doesn't. But did you notice in the game the word "Wham" was repeated many times? But yeah; the video does not much the game. But neither does the original. There is a reason I am reading the comments...
ruclips.net/video/eE1QR6ejh7U/видео.html
i needed to now the bad original to aprichiate the "quake-version"
I think it's a tribute to the 1980s, when "Careless Whisper" was released.
They should have used this version for Deadpool
This was me and my ex wife song,(the original song)now I have a reason to listen again to this version
best version ever of the song, even better than original
The BEST COVER EVER, This is fucking awesome!!!!
what a weird video for this song. Nevertheless this is a supreme cover
The whole point of the video is to show all the bullshit that went down in 2008. It's actually genius, you've just gotta be smart enough to look between the lines.
You don't have to be smart to understand....
The whole power and emotion of this song is lost with the video.
The idea for the video is awesome but not for this song
Much better than the original
Linda ! Melhor q a original
Why does this one have a synth string assembly thing going on in the background?
I like it...
its the strings enhancement
I read an article in Guitar magazine a few years back about the Seether recording and production notes of this song. The string arrangements are played via Roland guitar synth, the old system that needed the installation of ROLAND synth pickup into your guitar in order to communicate with the Roland pedal board processor, that in turn, produced the unique analog synth string sound.
I pity da foo that don't like this version of the song. This video was like all the best parts of my nostalgia when I was growing up.
