Portraits - Stars (Hum)
Музыка
After already working with Ben for a couple of years, we were having a conversation one day about bands we love, and came to the realization that Hum was majorly influential for both of us. I had watched them play some local circuits and small clubs back in the 90s and was immediately hooked. So we planned then to cover one of their songs, and now it has (finally) materialized. I hope we captured half of the energy of this largely overlooked masterpiece.
From the album "You'd Prefer an Astronaut" by the band Hum (1995)

The GOAT is back.
As a huge fan of Stars by Hum I was like no way they can do it justice I was wrong. 👏 well done gentlemen
Awesome cover and great choice of song guys! Hum is so damn underrated, definitely a band that should have achieved more popularity during the 90s!

Christopher Edmiston oh yeah man, for sure. Can’t name a single song I don’t like by them but definitely gotta go to a show if they come to NYC whenever that might be.
Long time no drums. KZread wasn't the same without you. Great comeback video :)

Excellent comeback. Hopefully we get to see new drum covers
Spectacular cover of a song that I didn't think could be topped.
Marvelous track and playing! I love it! please go on with your music!!!!
I absolutely love this song. It reminds me of my angst filled high school days in the absolute best ways. Perfection. This should have more views.
I didn't know the song and didn't read the description but when i listen it, I was going home from school like in 90s. You really can feel essence of 90s.
You introduced me to a band that I will have to check out thank you.
Love this band. Saw them with Bush and Toadies in Orlando back in like 96'. Great Cover.
This rocks! Wasn't expecting that. Nice Nice Nice.
Nice to see you again
Dude, the “ooowoohoohooos” in between got me, so damn good. I love this song, and you guys gave it justice. Beautifully done
Talk of timing. I just came to your channel looking for another Portraits video and found you had finally uploaded a new one :)
The Riff reminds me of early pumpkin. Gish. Still very nice.
Love this song and album! Great choice Very solid cover, definitely gave it a new energy. Would be very interested in any original music
Great song. Well done!

Great song and a great cover! Glad to see you back. Love your drumming and production.

And no one even know this song. Been listening to hum since the 90's love you'd prefer an astronaut.
Where have you been Bro? Missed the Vids
Guys, this is *great* Wow.
A damn fine song!! Really good.
DUDE! You're back bro! I LOVE THIS SONG! I have loved this song from the first time I heard it on the radio back in the day... Oh man, 99X, a great alternative/hardrock radion station in Atlanta... before music got............. well, what it is today. 99X is now some kind of easy listening channel, just like the plot of the movie Airheads haha MAN! Thank you for this, what a perfect way to start a Friday
Good stuff, John!

Great cover gentlemen fucking awesome 👏 Coming from a guy who fell in love with this song when I first started skateboarding 🛹 and heard tO covers this one and finch’s live You know what’s crazy when finch covered Stars at point fest in Stl everyone seemed lost until that great beginning when it begins. I was 17 thrashing with old school greats and my boys. We tore up that concrete
Damn I’m so glad you’re back. And this is a great comeback
Welcome Back- awesome track!!
One of my all-time favorites! Thanks for bringing up great memories when I first heard Stars and killer cover
Amazing cover man! Keep it going. Looking forward to more of your works.
great work dude!
Hey, good to see you back :) Nice cover. And I'm very patiently waiting for the new Tool album cover.
Awesome! Welcome back dude, you have been missed! Always enjoy your work. I show everyone your cover of Rosetta Stoned cause its a work of modern art.
Oh man, this was amazing! You guys added an ethereal touch to an already awesome song! Loved this so much, thank you for sharing!
Holy shit! This is so well done. Good job!
Sick song 🤘🏼
Been a while! You think you’ll try and cover some of the new tool album? 😏😏 you guys sound great!
Great effin cover man!!!
The only cover out there that hits my picky ear!
Its been a really great surprise to find a new video from you on my notifications
Great job... it's my 3rd watch........Anyone else catch that stick flip 3:52??
Love everyones take on it, it sounds amazing. If this is your band, then damn, I'd pay money to see you guys. Not many people talk about Hum, or even remember them. I loved them, had the album, and wished they would've kept going. Highly underrated album. Good seeing you back on the KZreads, John. You've been missed.
fuck yes. One of my top favorite songs ever!
The original popped up in my playlist on Spotify today and I had to skip it cause it didn't sound anywhere near like this. Not sure why this video hasn't blown up past 7k views
Yes!! Hum are amazing. Together with Failure probably the most overlooked bands of the 90's.
One of the only songs where I like the cover better than the original 🤘
This has got some Deftones vibes to it. Really reminds me of early 2000's rock.
OH YEAHHH PROTRAITS'S BACK!!!!
Back with a vengeance!
Kick-ass.
HUM
Great cover.
Great song ,performance and sound John, amazing work!!This is your band?
Where you been????
Must mean John’s getting back into the swing of things before the new Tool album drops...
Love Stars! This cover is Excellent!! Can someone tab the guitar part for me? :-p
*WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?*
Just as a cinematic choice idk about the moving camera right in Ben's face for the vocals, but the rest was great!
Yo been a while
