OMG They Say "Gun" Not "God"

[Rohan Kohli]

Check out this really cool a-capella cover (http://www.prestonandsteve.com/audio/50.mp3) of Fall Out Boy (http://www.falloutboyrock.com)'s "Sugar We're Going Down" done by a group called Off The Beat (http://www.offthebeat.net). The song was performed on the Preston and Steve Show (http://www.prestonandsteve.com/).

that cover sucks

[MattRM]

That's odd... yet entertaining...

[eyesforliars]

That's so awesome. I was totally expecting some crappy band to butcher the song. Awesome.

[Katie Schmitz]

omg, yuck

[Katie Schmitz]

i feel embarassed for those people

[PunkDrums182]

that cover sucks
Why? because it wasn't some other pop/punk band playing it exactly the way fall out boy does?

[the blues]

i dont even know what to say. haha wow

[theguilt engine]

what exactly is the preston and steve show? i don't want to go searching through their website to find out.

[Katie Schmitz]

but the singer is the only good part ...

[Rohan Kohli]

Haha, I really liked that. I think its cool how all those voices can work together to make something like that.

[11casey]

Why? because it wasn't some other pop/punk band playing it exactly the way fall out boy does?

because i don't like it

[st shellay]

Wow that's kinda cool haha.

[somebodypunchme]

just what the world needs, a new emocapella band

[chemical_kiss]

the preston and steve show is an awesome show that used to be on Philadelphia's station Y100 until clear channel became a bastard and took Y100 off the air. Now, they're on WMMR, another Philadelphia station, in the mornings as usual.

[thehighwaysend]

by who on the what?

[tambo41187]

Haha, I really liked that. I think its cool how all those voices can work together to make something like that.
haha ya i agree, a-capella is hard to pull off and these guys make it work.

[Katie Schmitz]

haha ya i agree, a-capella is hard to pull off and these guys make it work.

okay i'll give them that

[jfb392]

I just reliezed that FFTL put Pete's number in their crappy Christmas song today.
Someone pointed it out to me, so it just makes Sonny more of a tool..
And yeah, I relieze it has nothing to do with this thread..

[walshknilb281]

that was sick

[AdamTheBomb21]

Besides the GUN part, its really good. Emocappella is still amazing as well. For the people who say it sucks....I would love to hear you try anything like this. It takes a ton of time just to arrange something like that. So congrats to the kids doing this, makes me happy to see that real music is still around. (Dont get me wrong, I love Fall Out Boy, but this is something just amazing)
PS. www.offthebeat.net (http://www.offthebeat.net) is their site

[mewithcoldplay]

I thought it was pretty good.

That's some talented stuff.

[YearsGoneBy]

hahaha, that was amazing

[contagiousxkiss]

i like it

[captainmccool]

After hearng that I have to go find the Cute without the E one, that's amazing as well. Quite entertaining

[tambo41187]

okay i'll give them that
I agree with you too.....the singer had a pretty good set of pipes.

[Shoes]

Why? because it wasn't some other pop/punk band playing it exactly the way fall out boy does?
HAHAHHA

[TheLifeMelodic]

i love it.
thanks for bringing it to my attention. :-D

[xcorruptpunkx]

haha that's pretty sweet.

[bugeyedsheep]

That was damn hot for a live recording of the song. they're actually one of the best groups in the country, and arguably the best in the country at rock covers. A group at my school is about to cover that song, hope it sounds as good as that.

Heh, my group is about to cover mae "suspension," should be hot.

[lilnoah2]

im not gonna lie, thats pretty damn cool.

[cora_ann]

I don't know if it was good, but it was entertaining.

[starcrossdlovex]

I really liked that. Really really unique. & he does have an awesome voice. He sings better live than Patrick.

I still don't see what the big deal over the gun/god thing. All you have to do is listen to some gym class heroes & the reference makes sense.

[chokeychicken]

fuck this shit. emocapella puts these guys to shame.

i love acapella. when its GOOD.

[Cocky Caucasion]

fuck this shit. emocapella puts these guys to shame.

i love acapella. when its GOOD.
riiiight...and this isn't good?
you kids are stupid. I don't even like the song and I was impressed.

[Katie Schmitz]

fuck this shit. emocapella puts these guys to shame.

i love acapella. when its GOOD.

i love your user name.

[bubonic311]

Fuck what anyone else says, that is a GOOD acapella cover. I'm not a big fan of acapella either. Plus, let's be honest, the lead vocalist sings "Sugar We're Goin' Down" live better than Patrick.

[nachoabalaffa]

that was great. they are all really talented and i thought they rocked it, esp since the voices are enjoyable (unlike emocapella where some of the lead vocals are irriatating to listen to). great job, rockers.

joe.

i like how some people are insulting it yet have goldfinger icons haha. thats goofy.

[mysensesfailed3]

well its terrible yet absolutely amazing.

[annn]

I dig it. The lead singer's voice is like a non annoying version of Patrick's voice haha.

[knux]

This is really cool. I am really impressed.

[FeignedPrfectio]

Those of you that are saying things like "this is so amazing and talented" and "I can't believe they did that with their voices!!".. wow, I feel sorry for you. My 6th grade Chorus class could've put these guys to shame.

Listen to real a capella.

agreed. you could do alot with the chorus as per harmonies and mixing voices. it is a good attempt, but I'd like to hear some of the better college a capella groups try this song out, i gurantee they'd come up with some amazing sounds.

[Gabe Gross]

there is SOME talent there, but also SOME guys that have A LOT of time on their hands

Entertaining nontheless

[Flags of Dawn]

Those of you that are saying things like "this is so amazing and talented" and "I can't believe they did that with their voices!!".. wow, I feel sorry for you. My 6th grade Chorus class could've put these guys to shame.

Listen to real a capella.
theres always one........

[troublelovesme]

not bad...

[NoseOverTail]

Really fucking cool.

[RockVocalPower]

lolz Fall Out Boy is lame Pete is crazy lolz

[Boring Pop Song]

a group at my school covered Whoa!- Rub One Out accapella

from 2ge+her...

needless to say it was amazing

[MaDeMaN FiAsCo]

That's odd... yet entertaining...
Ditto.

[the rog]

i remember emocapella really fucking sucking. maybe they got better, but when they first started out, they always chose people who couldn't sing for shit to be their leads.

this is pretty impressive (for what it is.) they do some really good stuff with the song.

Boston University has the best acapella group in america for like 5 years running, they're called the dear abbeys, but i don't know if they would do something like this.

[romantic rights]

i went into that thinking it was going to be dumb, but it was actually pretty cool. for everyone who says that it sucks, lets see you do it.

[chokeychicken]

That was damn hot for a live recording of the song. they're actually one of the best groups in the country, and arguably the best in the country at rock covers. A group at my school is about to cover that song, hope it sounds as good as that.

Heh, my group is about to cover mae "suspension," should be hot.

exit245, by chance?

[chokeychicken]

that was great. they are all really talented and i thought they rocked it, esp since the voices are enjoyable (unlike emocapella where some of the lead vocals are irriatating to listen to). great job, rockers.

joe.

i like how some people are insulting it yet have goldfinger icons haha. thats goofy.

first of all, goldfinger's self titled cd and 'hang ups' were awesome cd's..shut up.

second, have you even HEARD a acapella group besides this one? is that why they 'rocked it'? because you don't know the difference between sucking dick and rocking hard?

[CrustOnTheBread]

thats pretty cool , except the lyrics are wrong!!!!!!!!!! " loaded gun" i don't think so bitches haha its ok nice try! ( its god by the way!)

[beefhung]

their cover of "i'm not okay" has the chorus of "my friends over you" in the background. very cool.

[JOJOFACE]

A Capella not Acapella.


Also, I was VERY impressed. :D Freaking awesome.

[somethingyellow]

it made me laugh

[vote4pedro]

he sings better than the lead singer of fallout boy.

[March_Faster!!]

Wow, this is awesome. I'm amazed at how they re-create all the sounds with just their pie-holes. Really cool shit. Fuck the haters.

[nerogtr]

whether you enjoy it or not, there is no question that this group has a ton of talent. listen to some of the other covers they do on their website. it takes a lot of work to arrange that stuff, let along perform it.

[Go Analog Baby]

I didn' t read the full thing when I dloaded it. I thought it was an acoustic version...I was sure surprised when I opened it. It's different.

[thesewalls]

i actually like this :D

[Rogue Slayer]

better than fob.

[Flags of Dawn]

thats pretty cool , except the lyrics are wrong!!!!!!!!!! " loaded gun" i don't think so bitches haha its ok nice try! ( its god by the way!)
thanks for pointing that out to the people that may have missed it in the thread title captain obvious.

[I am all talk]

k lets hear you do it

need an mp3 by tomorrow, thx ;)
that's not an argument. The Knicks are my favorite basketball team. They are 0 -5 right now. Does that mean if I want to complain about them I have to play for them?

[I am all talk]

thanks for pointing that out to the people that may have missed it in the thread title captain obvious.
I really wish we still had scene points because you ruined that guys shit and I hella liked it.

[Cocky Caucasion]

first of all, goldfinger's self titled cd and 'hang ups' were awesome cd's..shut up.

second, have you even HEARD a acapella group besides this one? is that why they 'rocked it'? because you don't know the difference between sucking dick and rocking hard?
shut the fuck up.
you are lame. I'm not a scholar in a capella and niether are half the kids on this thread so go fuck yourself. I sure as hell can't pull off the shit that they did so yes I consider them talented. Whether they are the best in the world or not, I could honestly care less.

by the way, Goldfinger has always sucked. Good try though.

[irthesteve]

i want more of thier stuff, i like the samples on their site

[Oeightyfour]

It's not bad
but they are still idiots.

Anyone who can't just follow simple lyrics while covering a song are morons. :)

[Guy]

this is why the whole palm muting shit needs to end--when a capella groups have to dedicate a guy to "chug-chugging" for 3 minutes.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

that was interesting

[Oeightyfour]

I just reliezed that FFTL put Pete's number in their crappy Christmas song today.
Someone pointed it out to me, so it just makes Sonny more of a tool..
And yeah, I relieze it has nothing to do with this thread..

hahaha.

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

But one question, Why does that make Sonny a tool?
I think thats fucking hilarious...esp if it was really he's number.
it's like when buddyhead gives out numbers.
Shit's funny.

I really liked that. Really really unique. & he does have an awesome voice. He sings better live than Patrick.

I still don't see what the big deal over the gun/god thing. All you have to do is listen to some gym class heroes & the reference makes sense.



um, he sounds better because they are playing it a half step down, for any of you who know nothing about singing, that makes it A LOT EASIER, fall out boy would sound amazing if they either played their stuff a half step down live, or if they stopped being asses and recorded their songs in a key that they can sing it in live
by the way, a lot of bands do this which to me kind of cheapens the performance, for example, yellowcard plays the stuff a full step down
the one singer who really impresses me is claudio from co and ca, their stuff is very hard to sing, but besides favor house, they play all their songs just like on the album...

but anyway, i sang a cappella in college, and these guys are good, they are pretty well known, i would have liked to hear the guy do it without going down a half step, they definately chickened out on that one, im pretty sure they did thursday's signals over the air, it was pretty sweet

[noodledancer]

that was pretty fucking awesome.
thanks for sharing this.

[itmakesyoufeel]

This is really, really cool.
I'm impressed.

[lostntheseethru]

i cant hear it...damn computer

[Decemberist]

i loved it.

[OneFellSwoop]

ill be damned if that's not as good as chris carrabba

http://www.offthebeat.net/music/clips/OTB14/handsdown.mp3

[youareallfreaks]

bring back scene points

[turtleman]

This is freaking awesome.

[mylkhead]

yeah i love those cover songs. they do an amazing job

[dskiz]

thats pretty sweet

[AgentX]

haha i liked the jimmy eat would - pain cover, and also the thursday one made me laugh!

[I ARE RAY]

i'm a fan of acapella..

this was cool!

[weworemasks]

A Capella not Acapella.


Also, I was VERY impressed. :D Freaking awesome.

if you wanna be picky, then its "a cappella," hahaha.

yes this was entertaining to listen to, even after listening to this song has no become unbearable due to the overplaying of it.

[Brraaad]

wow bad cover of a bad song...nice to see that people really don't have much recognition for talent in the radio industry anymore.

[Vil de Locke]

HAHA. I loved that.

[thesewalls]

that's not an argument. The Knicks are my favorite basketball team. They are 0 -5 right now. Does that mean if I want to complain about them I have to play for them?

i was only being sarcastic :( no hating on the canadian plzzzzz :x

[matt_rawlings]

That was really good. I was expecting it to be really shitty but I was very impressed. Those guys have got the skills to pay the bills...
...Indeed

[matt_rawlings]

haha i liked the jimmy eat would - pain cover, and also the thursday one made me laugh!

Have you got a link for those songs, I would really like to hear them

[silentcries]

that's rad =]

[ChadisTHEChad]

you've got to have respect for the guy who does the super high falsetto harmony in the pre-chorus. haha

[EvilButters]

Man...all these people ripping on this cover. A-capella is some good shit. What did everyone think of Reel Big Fish's cover of New York, New York? Wasn't that also a-capella? That's one of my favorite covers ever. This is definitely different and frankly, I like the hell out of it.

[ishotthepilot]

I really liked that. Really really unique. & he does have an awesome voice. He sings better live than Patrick.

I still don't see what the big deal over the gun/god thing. All you have to do is listen to some gym class heroes & the reference makes sense.

or go to a basic English class.

yeah it was kind of fun, but you could definitely do a lot more with it, considering they're an A CAPELLA GROUP and didn't even put in half the little melodies that are in there... good though.

[nicolerork]

ill be damned if that's not as good as chris carrabba

http://www.offthebeat.net/music/clips/OTB14/handsdown.mp3


That was impressive!

[myfirstpunksong]

I enjoyed it but they're not a touch on Ted's band. - The A Capella band on Scrubs. Now they're fucking good. Go to the extras on season 2, and on the first featurette you hear a bit of their cover of 'Superman" - the theme show for the song. That's awesome.

[Beyondclarity]

I think its really odd - but also really cool. On their website they have clips of some of the other stuff they've done.

Radiohead - Paranoid Android is really rad.

I'm very impressed.

[llwin]

Lmao!!!

[kshtoinks12]

is it sad that i keep coming back to this and showing it to all my friends, its just so cool :)

[alex_andra]

it's ok...
except they need to get the lyrics right

[Simple_Pita]

And emoacapella was born. Or at least introduced.

I didn't know what to expect clicking on that but, hey, I like it! Definitely most interesting. Definitely.

:thumbup:

[music_freek_12]

Whoa

[music_freek_12]

Suck

[itsdewey]

amazing. the hands down cover is amazing also.

[TBS0116]

that really wasnt that bad...its just not fall out boy...who cares who covers thier music, you guys arent the FOB police

[TBS0116]
