People just have no idea how hard this is. Play all the notes without screwing up royally. Keep time, play together. Sing together, remember all the words. Keep track of the overall structure of the song and not get lost.

[Surya-ujre]

This is one of those rare covers that elevates the song to a whole new level above the original.

[TheNewAmericanMedia]

One of the coolest songs ever written, and this performance absolutely does it justice.
In fact, ...this version adds another dimension to a classic.
Not an easy feat to accomplish.
Kudos.

I don't care about the absence of the cowbell. Masse and Hall are excellent. This is best rendition of the Reaper I have heard. A true honor to listen to these guys. Magnificent Music!!!

If I was eating pizza and kicking back a few beers and heard this live I would absolutely freak out.

[jacobkirby]

im glad louis ck and tony hawk decided to do that duet tour they were talking about.

Awesome job.

As a drummer I love using your drumless and extremely accurate covers to drum to at home. Awesome, and thanks!!

[chrissimkins]

Wow! I went to law school with Jeff Hall (on the left). Had no idea he is so talented. Jeff, very very cool.

[copasetic]

The vocals in this are absolutely legendary. I am in awe for real.

[FIDEL_CASHFLOW_]

It's like somebody was going to kill them if they didn't play it perfectly

[NonTruce]

That’s easily one the best covers I personally ever heard! Absolutely love it!

[CoachAlbarado]

You know, Jeff really has a great voice also.  The two of you work so well together.  It's beautiful art.

Some day this song will outlive the antics of Christopher Walken, Will Farrell, and company. I truly believe that.

Thanks for this beautiful cover of one of my favorite songs ever!

300 views, now lets watch it go over 100, 000+ Thanks Mike & Jeff! Hope this is a sign of things to come! Hope things are great with Noah, and family as well!

[SmashTVCanada]

[oldaccount]

First song I ever learned. So great. Made me almost cry.

[Whiskeyshoots]

I can’t believe I lived nearly my whole life up till 2012 in Utah and visited the pie ALL THE TIME. And I never learned about Mike Masse until I left in 2012. Real bummer.

[Martes.mp]

I really hope someday you play to thousands of people who really appreciate what you're doing because that crowd sucks. You're damn talented dude!

[evanhostetler]

You deserve 100 times the support you have Mike. I wish I had half the talent you have.

[RunningAmonk]

Never written a comment on a YouTube video before, but I love this cover as much, if not more, than BOC's original, which is one of my favorite songs ever. So much talent here and humility too. Thank you Mike and Jeff, and come to Brooklyn!!!
