Good luck finding a better cover for any of his covers! When I’m in the mood to listen to “ rocket man “ by Elton John I listen to mikes cover instead. In my head rocket man is by Mike Massè
Will North Africa was the first one I heard and it blew my mind, as well. So, like you, I listened to more. Then I came upon "A Day in the Life," and learned his life story, and...well, you should really find out for yourself. It's #15, if you're following the list. You will admire him even more, I think!
I love how at the beginning, you can hear people talking and laughing and doing their own thing. By the time you get to that climax, the room is silent! You commanded their attention. Way to go! So awesome!! Binge watching your videos!
Not gonna lie...came here after seeing Guardians 3, and this is not only the best cover of this song...this is the best damn version of this song that exists--and I'm including Radiohead in that mix too. This version is incredible, Radiohead should be thanking you for this! This is electric, a truly spiritual performance!
Man, this specific cover never fails to give me the feels. you can see the guy puts his whole body and soul into the lyrics as he's singing 10/10 will see live
excellent vibrato and amazing vocal range. he reached the high A5 without much of an effort. impressive. i think he rly did the song justice, and that was live. definitely the best cover i've seen so far of this great song.
Your on my bucket list mate One day I will see you live You just nail so many of my favorite songs by such amazing bands Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Stones, The Beatles, Bowie, U2, the list goes on and on. The world has enough lawers Mike, but can never have enough guys like you. Keep playing my good man, your touching the hearts and souls of people across this planet.
D.J DEXR Some of the best musicians are just ordinary people working 9-5 during the week and play on the weekends at small venues. You'll hear some of the greatest guitarist from time to time in your local music store. Not all of the greats are famous and touring the world. Some of them don't even want that. Those are the musicians you know are really dedicated to their music and not just in it for the fame and fortune.
Just so you know, it now has become a dream of mine to come to this pizzeria, sit, and listen to your overwhelming covers for hours. I don't even have words to express how powerful your performances are. And I just love the fact that you give 200% of yourself despite the unexpected stage. Thanks, ou merci, like we say in France.
What strikes me the most about this man is that he is up there with ALL the best vocalist of pop/rock/grunge/punk/etc genre! Mike's range and the purity of his voice is astonishing and on top of all of that he's a f***ing guitar master!!! True talent will be recognized eventually... All the best from Serbia, Mike...
I have listened to almost every cover of CREEP and this by far is the absolute best version right from the beginning through to the end...well done Mike ...you've got it spot on....
When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world And I wish I was special You're so f*cking special But I 'm a creep, I 'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here I don't belong here I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so f*cking special I wish I was special She's running out again She's running out .... Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so f*cking special I wish I was special... But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't belong here. ...
I'm addicted to this cover. Just had it in my head during my whole run this morning. Now playing on repeat. So happy to know that there are 88 more videos waiting for me (have already listened to about 20).
Mike, you sound a bit like Robbie Williams when you're down in your lower register. Man, your voice is quite malleable to whatever it is you care to sing. What a wonderful gift. Glad you're using it to share with others!
So ... I'm searching through the Tube for Radiohead, I notice the photo of two regular guys sitting under a Pie Pizza neon sign, and a Budweiser sign, and I think - Oh what the heck this might be fun. And it was. You blew me away & I've spent two days listening to nothing but your music! It's wonderful and I thank you! Now I'll stop talking and start listening to some more!!
Just amazing. I am totally lost..wow!!.Outstanding concert at this pizzeria. Great songs..Don't understand the audience though...are they tone deaf or something.They seems not to appreciate this at all. They are rude. They/you absolutely deserve a better audience.!!..woow..Thanks for sharing this!!
It's a pizzeria, people go to socialize and eat.. they don't have to sit and be quiet.. they may not even enjoy this music.. you don't control humanity and neither does Mike
Mike F The fans wish Mike and Jeff could be special. But they're just creeps. Just two weirdos playing in a pizzaria. Maybe they don't belong there. No, they don't belong there. What the hell are they doing there, even?
Here on UA-cam we are engrosed on Mike and his band's performace...out there people are focusing on Pizza don't you see? Well at the end they did appreciate.
Why can’t someone tired to the music industry walk in when this guy is playing and have dinner....just imagine how far he could go with the right opportunity!
On the one hand I want to thank the world for UA-cam giving me the ability to enjoy this masterpiece performed in a Pizzeria 15 years ago. On the other hand it is a travesty this man is not one of the most famous and celebrated singers on the world.
litostic Quite possibly - but you also need to hear the version done by the Gentlemen of St John's (the lay-clerks of the world famous Choir of St John's College, Cambridge)...
A proper shout-out needs to go to the sound tech, whoever he or she is. The SOUND quality is topnotch! As for this performance, one could quibble about the bouncy acoustic guitar work and the visual of 2 guys in a pizza joint, one looking like he just got back from softball practice, but all is forgiven when the dude on the right HITS THOSE HIGH NOTES like freaking Pavarotti. My Lord!
Wow. Love this cover. The way that guy plays guitar sends chills down my spine & especially the last verse & course blew me away with the singer. Sorry I don't know you guys. I hated sounding rude but felt compelled to say how much I enjoyed this song.
+Mike Masse please come to Atlanta, Ga...I just discovered you....plus we are fellow Peyton Manning/Broncos fans! I get the goosies listening to you. ✌🎵🎸🎤🌹
I close my eyes and hear beautifully talented musicians... and open them to see the sad reality that they are playing in a small pizza joint... This is exactly what is wrong with the music industry today..
kayakero1969 Actually the pizza at the Pi is really, really good. It was just a nice bonus to have Mike play while you enjoyed it. I'm happy for him and his family but bummed that he moved away...
+paul Richardson Yes, in the very near future! We have a sold out show this Friday at 229 the Venue. If you're interested, you can check the thread on my Facebook page to see if someone has extras tix you could buy off them. :)
+Mike Masse Hey Mike, I was watching this gig's various clips years ago when there were much less views. I sent it to everyone knew I was so impressed...so you can now thank me for getting you over a million views Lol. Kidding, it seems theses clips have really taken off over the last few months though. Your Radiohead is amazing. As well that Cranberries cover of Linger you do with your friend is fantastic as well. Keep up the good work my friend.
*For a complete list of upcoming concert dates and tickets, visit my site: **mikemasse.com/concerts*
Well done that was spot on...
Dude we will be in San Pedro In February to see you Finally!!!
No need to respond 😆
This is now 15 years old and I still haven't found a better cover to this song.
...because there isn't one!
Good luck finding a better cover for any of his covers! When I’m in the mood to listen to “ rocket man “ by Elton John I listen to mikes cover instead. In my head rocket man is by Mike Massè
He does Africa really really good as well
Make that 14 and I agree
@@matthewanthony4606 thanks for that I'm gonna check it out, mind blown!
on my 4th song now, they are all good, Africa was mind blowing..
Will North Africa was the first one I heard and it blew my mind, as well. So, like you, I listened to more. Then I came upon "A Day in the Life," and learned his life story, and...well, you should really find out for yourself. It's #15, if you're following the list. You will admire him even more, I think!
Just came from there... On to mad world next....
lucyb35 same here
Lol I started on Africa too, this is now my 3rd cover of theirs I'm listening to, his voice is amazing
Only your fourth?! Keep going...
This guys voice is simply amazing. I really recommend listening to Mike's cover of Africa too.
izekial best one yet made me tear up
izekial27 POA, Pinnacle of Awesome dude
;
I saw that one first! fantastique that's all I can say
izekial27
I love how at the beginning, you can hear people talking and laughing and doing their own thing. By the time you get to that climax, the room is silent! You commanded their attention. Way to go! So awesome!! Binge watching your videos!
❤
This duo is amazing
Era una buena noche.
His high notes are so solid and well controlled they are so so beautiful.. what a VOICE
Radiohead did a great cover of this. It's almost...almost as good as this.
You are awesome.
Bahahah!!!!
Perfect leveller 😇
Three teenage daughters singing there hearts out while I'm making diner. So very special. Excellent job mike and jeff.
The vocal range is simply stunning.
Alcance vocal, afinação, sentimento e ainda toca muito.
if i had a voice like that , i would never stop singing! the diversity in these covers are insane good !
Not gonna lie...came here after seeing Guardians 3, and this is not only the best cover of this song...this is the best damn version of this song that exists--and I'm including Radiohead in that mix too. This version is incredible, Radiohead should be thanking you for this! This is electric, a truly spiritual performance!
I discovered these two more than 10 years ago-still haven’t heard a better version.
2022, my first time hearing this cover and I'm blown away. Just awesome.
Man, this specific cover never fails to give me the feels.
you can see the guy puts his whole body and soul into the lyrics as he's singing
10/10 will see live
It's the same with the other stuff he sings. He's an incredible singer.
Props to ANYONE who can nail those high notes.
excellent vibrato and amazing vocal range. he reached the high A5 without much of an effort. impressive. i think he rly did the song justice, and that was live. definitely the best cover i've seen so far of this great song.
A4*
Your on my bucket list mate
One day I will see you live
You just nail so many of my favorite songs by such amazing bands
Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Stones, The Beatles, Bowie, U2, the list goes on and on. The world has enough lawers Mike, but can never have enough guys like you. Keep playing my good man, your touching the hearts and souls of people across this planet.
+John Middleton but he was a Public Defender lawyer. Look up on UA-cam: John Oliver Public Defenders
+John Middleton On my bucket list too!
+John Middleton You took the words out of my mouth. Couldn't agree with you more. Cheers..!
+John Middleton *You´re
I'm seeing him next month in London!
I have to hear this like at least once a month for years now.
People like you deserve to be in concert, you got more talent than another famous people.
Luck!

+Samy Boumerzoug - Exactly! Hey, Mike Are You Ever Coming To Perform In Northern California?!?! We'd Love and Embrace You & Your Music
~ peace!
That audience should have torn the roof off with applause, I've listened to this a thousand times over 10+ years and it's amazing.
What strikes me the most about this man is that he is up there with ALL the best vocalist of pop/rock/grunge/punk/etc genre! Mike's range and the purity of his voice is astonishing and on top of all of that he's a f***ing guitar master!!! True talent will be recognized eventually... All the best from Serbia, Mike...
Jump to 2:36 for the amazing "Sheeeeeeeeeeee's.... Running!" part! Brilliant absolutely brilliant! :D
Or don't skip any of this amazing cover and just let it build like you're supposed to...
Pedro Rodriguez III I agree to that too. :)
English Rain You ruined de shit dud.
MrJototojo I'm sorry...
I’m with Pedro on this one 😊
I have listened to almost every cover of CREEP and this by far is the absolute best version right from the beginning through to the end...well done Mike ...you've got it spot on....
When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so f*cking special
But I 'm a creep, I 'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so f*cking special
I wish I was special
She's running out again
She's running out ....
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so f*cking special
I wish I was special...
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here.
...
Thanks. I finally got the right words now.
I'm addicted to this cover. Just had it in my head during my whole run this morning. Now playing on repeat. So happy to know that there are 88 more videos waiting for me (have already listened to about 20).
best inspiration for acoustic versions
Amazing..
As are many more by you. Simply beautiful. Played daily at my restaurant, in Czech. Pretty much everyone ends up looking you up.
Mike, you sound a bit like Robbie Williams when you're down in your lower register. Man, your voice is quite malleable to whatever it is you care to sing. What a wonderful gift. Glad you're using it to share with others!
the high notes made me cry...thanks brother.
WOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Brazillian here loving your job....
Respect man!!!!!!!
EPICC!!!
I've only stumbled on Mike and his videos today. I'd say I'm 20 videos into a binge so far!
So ... I'm searching through the Tube for Radiohead, I notice the photo of two regular guys sitting under a Pie Pizza neon sign, and a Budweiser sign, and I think - Oh what the heck this might be fun. And it was. You blew me away & I've spent two days listening to nothing but your music! It's wonderful and I thank you! Now I'll stop talking and start listening to some more!!
Mike is by far the greatest musician on UA-cam.
10 years have been passed and I am still here listening this amazing cover!
It isn't the word, it is how you say it. And you nail it.
Just amazing. I am totally lost..wow!!.Outstanding concert at this pizzeria. Great songs..Don't understand the audience though...are they tone deaf or something.They seems not to appreciate this at all. They are rude. They/you absolutely deserve a better audience.!!..woow..Thanks for sharing this!!

Here on UA-cam we are engrosed on Mike and his band's performace...out there people are focusing on Pizza don't you see? Well at the end they did appreciate.
They were cheering and applauding! what more do you want? Not by the thousands, but its a freakin pizzeria
Honestly I'd be dead silent if I was there. I imagine everyone was dead silent in amazement, I would be.
You definitely don't belong there! You belong in a recording studio producing beautiful music for millions to hear!!!! Wow guys. So great.
i love how at the start people are talking and notpaying attention but buy the end you could hear a pin drop in the crowd:)
I can totally appreciate how clean those chords are struck
imagine walking in for a pizza and a beer and these guys are playing in the corner!!!!
Why can’t someone tired to the music industry walk in when this guy is playing and have dinner....just imagine how far he could go with the right opportunity!
who knew one of the greatest covers of all time was going to be recorded in a pizza restaurant !!🤣🤣 absolutely incredible rendition
On the one hand I want to thank the world for UA-cam giving me the ability to enjoy this masterpiece performed in a Pizzeria 15 years ago. On the other hand it is a travesty this man is not one of the most famous and celebrated singers on the world.
I am so glad you are coming to the UK in April.
Just booking the tickets online now.
Can't wait. You are truly passionate at what you do.
You guys are the definition of the word "cool". As an "old guy" learning to play acoustic guitar I come to you guys for inspiration.
Thom Yorke would be proud. You guys are fantastic!
Love how you sing with emotion and each lyric is sung with a beautiful uniqueness
amazing bassists like Jeff Hall often don't get recognition but man amazing job guys especially jeff
이 영상울 알게된지 벌써 10년이 넘었네요..
아직도 잊지않고 잘 듣고있습니다 감사해요
you're voice is a gift.. thanks for all these great vids. jeff's mike is never too loud.
Mike Massé - The best cover artist of all time.
Definitely the best cover of Creep! Thank you for this
litostic Quite possibly - but you also need to hear the version done by the Gentlemen of St John's (the lay-clerks of the world famous Choir of St John's College, Cambridge)...
Paul Smith i cant find this rendition anywhere?
10 years!!! IM NOT YET LATE TO HEAR THIS!!!!
been listening to this cover for 2 months now and i still find this to be better than the original!!!!
the best I've heard. And I've heard a lot of great ones
W-O-W!!! I am blown away. When will you tour?
All these years I've been rewatching this clip and still the best Creep cover.
A proper shout-out needs to go to the sound tech, whoever he or she is. The SOUND quality is topnotch! As for this performance, one could quibble about the bouncy acoustic guitar work and the visual of 2 guys in a pizza joint, one looking like he just got back from softball practice, but all is forgiven when the dude on the right HITS THOSE HIGH NOTES like freaking Pavarotti.

This is pure gold... diamond even.
Wow. Love this cover. The
way that guy plays guitar sends chills down my spine & especially the last verse & course blew me away with the singer. Sorry I don't know you guys. I hated sounding rude but felt compelled to say how much I enjoyed this song.
Why are these covers so pure and beautiful?
2018. and im still amazed
2019 and i just found them and in awe
Same here and in Germany. I got shivers from Mike's vocals! Keep it up.
Do these picking up their pizzas for Saturday movie night at home even realize how good they have it?
These guys are phenomenal!
O melhor cover que ouvi de creep!!!
Was doing a Radiohead day while playing video games - heard this cover and it quickly became a Mike Masse day 🤗
Can I buy this cover somewhere?!
Kai Kai415 Yes, and thanks for asking: itunes.apple.com/album/creep-feat.-jeff-hall/id538715861?i=538716056
+Mike Masse No, thank you! Amazing stuff man, amazing.
+Mike Masse please come to Atlanta, Ga...I just discovered you....plus we are fellow Peyton Manning/Broncos fans! I get the goosies listening to you. ✌🎵🎸🎤🌹
+Gena McBroom YES COME TO GEORGIA!!
+Airon de Souza I do. It's already there. :) Not everybody reads the description, I s'ppose.
When ever I need a something to pick me up after a shitty day I come here to hear you guys....thanks for making my day..
eres increíble...
miles de felicitaciones
Hear how patrons slowly went quite and began to listen. That's how you capture an audience. Thumbs up!
I close my eyes and hear beautifully talented musicians... and open them to see the sad reality that they are playing in a small pizza joint... This is exactly what is wrong with the music industry today..
just discovered these guys. can’t stop watching. instant fan for life.
You should do Life on Mars? by David Bowie!
+Rudy_Eila

i'm sure pizzas are expensive and taste horrible..the people are there only for the music There are thousands outside watching thru the window.
kayakero1969 Actually the pizza at the Pi is really, really good. It was just a nice bonus to have Mike play while you enjoyed it. I'm happy for him and his family but bummed that he moved away...
Alan Pierce where did he move to ?
My favorite cover 🙏
Mike...any plans to perform in London within the near future??
+paul Richardson Yes, in the very near future! We have a sold out show this Friday at 229 the Venue. If you're interested, you can check the thread on my Facebook page to see if someone has extras tix you could buy off them. :)

When I look for how to play a song I love, I don't look even look for the original anymore, ---- I always look for your version......... STYLIN'!!!!
Meh, there's nothing so very special about the swearing. :)
Hehe
Totally agree. Best cover I’ve seen, nice job!

As a musician and singer starting up, you're an absolute inspiration. Wow.
I can't stop listening to this cover... I don't like this song... But the way that you've done it makes it really amazing
