Youtube, myspace etc????

I recently discovered these sites and while there is some real junk on these sites, there is also some really funny stuff. I think I found Youtube from a link somewhere on this forum. Anyway, are there any other sites like this that you know of ? Thanks all!! Doug

This is a really funny one on youtube.com...

There's http://www.metacafe.com/

I been hooked on Youtube for the past two days. Here's one that I can't stop listening to.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK8PxZgMrGY... it's a cover of Terra Naomi's "Say It's Possible." The original is also on there. Today, I found myself singing this particular cover of this song as it plays in my head. There are dozens of covers by different users there, too.

Here's another good cover of that one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eLrXscelxY

Thanks Trashman - those are the ones that are worth it!

There's a LOT of great talent out there and now "average Joe" has an easy way to show it!

I just noticed that Terra Naomi, herself, commented on Alex's cover. She loved it. How cool is that?

You should check out the other ones from "alexsingssongs", too (currently, only two of them). There's an original song of his that is really, really good (edit: ok, I'll link it for you! I might as well since talking about it talk myself to listen to it again! -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sfzy6pyYBY). Even the other ones from Meghan Julius (mynameismeghan) are good. She may have been on "America's Got Talent", but I'm still not sure about it.

The amount of talent out there is just incredible. I've clicked out so many covers of "Say It's Possible", and many are pretty darn good.

You wanna see a sick (kick ***) old time drum solo? Joe Morello, 1963 -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35MCwMaLD8g&mode=related&search=
Here's one more Joe Morello, it starts out with him drumming with his hands and fingers! -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHHpMRC7fC0&mode=related&search=


A word of advice....Youtube can be seriously addicting! I've clicked on it here and there for a while, now, but in the last two days I've starting finding out that there is a lot of stuff that really interests me....a lot of it, A LOT OF IT!!! I stayed up until 4:30 on Saturday night, just clickin' away! It'll suck you in! Don't search for anything you really like, because you'll find fantastic examples of it and it'll keep you there!


Edit2: I find it to be so cool that these "amateurs" are uploading stuff that I find to be so good that I keep listening to it, the same as I would a CD that I can't get enough of. Youtube rocks!

Here're some more sites for your time wasting pleasure:

www.thatvideosite.com - a bunch of random videos.

www.video.google.com - like YouTube. Personal uploads.

www.dump.com - a directory of videos that link to a bunch of other video sites.


Have fun...

I really liked the song! Hey she lives close to me, maybe she could use a drummer....?

Myspace is a cultural wasteland, but Youtube has some nice gems, if you spend the time to hunt them down.

One more (the only one left) from alexsingssongs....I've been enjoying this so much that I want to link it for you guys-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eLrXscelxY

He's got another cover up..."Simple Man," from Lynnard Skynnard.

Trashman, being a drummer... I'm a BIG fan of youtube for the drum solos!! Here's one of the best ones I've seen, and it's by a 12 year old kid!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and thanks to you, I can't get that "Say It's Possible" song out of my head! Haha, it's really a great song... I'm thinking about having my band cover it!

Dude.......No way!!! That kid is incredible! I can imagine him going into a guitar center and some big headed drummer telling him, "get out of here kid, these aren't toys...," only to have the kid to show him up. That'd be classic.

I'm going to watch the other links to see what else there is of him.

Some of my favorite videos on YouTube...

OK Go - Here It Goes Again, an amusing music video

Most of the others are not family-friendly, so I'll leave those out.

Funny that you should link to that treadmill video, because a couple of days ago my coworker just sent me that link as one of her favorites. It must have taken a lot of work to learn the choreography and to get their balance! That is an amusing one!

It is currently among one of the _most viewed_ videos on YouTube. I'm not surprised.

It's funny you mention Guitar Center... that's actually where his super-star status began. He won the Guitar Center National Drum-Off in 1995... he won the whole shebang, at the age of 12!!! Now he's like 21, and has all kinds of endorsements... he plays in a band called LazyEye. There's some way more recent videos of him on YouTube, but as you could imagine... they are much more impressive than the one of him when he was 12 years old!
