This song speaks to my soul, its rare to see such conviction conveyed through an acoustic guitar.

Homeless Mustard Sings "Creep" on Opie and Anthony's Sirius/XM show

[sushi]

It's crazy that they had no idea he could sing or play guitar when he was brought in.  It was supposed to be just a promo for their homeless shopping spree.

[Adam Lofton]

I say, that was a very good rendition of "Creep". That guy won't be homeless for long once a producer sees this.

[DRQPQUT]

that was moving...thanks for posting that! makes you think about shit and put it in perspective...

[MantisX]

That was really fucking good. This man has seen many painful times and it oozes from his guitar. The original has a hard time sounding this good. I hope someone signs him.

See thats what im saying, Ive heard it a thousand times and yeah its a good song and all but holy shit.  this version is like hearing it for the first time.  Like this song has an entirely different meaning to me now.

Perception is a fantastic thing.

[DRQPQUT]

almost like the guy wrote the song CRAZY

[SgtB]

Awsome. And here he is, a man of talent laying on the pavement. Never makes sense to me how things work out sometimes.

[boosted 00 black si]

that guy is the shit

[Passenger]

Are you guys serious?

[Adam Lofton]

Are you guys serious?

Yes we are. This guy has more talent on a bad day than a large portion of the "artists" that are making top 40's crap.

[keelay]

I hope he gets signed, some studio time and that will sound amazing (mainly to get rid of the homeless hacking cough...).

Couldn't have said it better

[Phate]

damn.  why is it that people this talented are out on the street, and talentless douchebags like kanye west are rich?

That's better than hearing the original version.

[bryantaylor]

that guy is way too clean to be homeless.

[Joseph Davis]

good cover.
his kangol hat cost more than the outfit i'm wearing.
his jacket probably cost 3x what the hat cost
the guitar probably cost 6x what the jacket cost

so unless the radio station gave him all that shit, he's not a bum

Look at his skin.  Dude's never spent a forced minute out in the elements in his life.

Agreed, when I use to work outdoors I looked rough as hell. That shit takes a beating on your skin. He looks way to pampered to be outdoors, unless he just lives in a shelter.

Music industry = shit   They look at your face first and your voice last. It doesn't matter if you can sing a lick, they can touch it up and make you sound fine. They want the marketability of the face which is another reason I hate the music industry today.

its funny how someone can make a few comments and show people he has no clue what hes talking about. 

SO every flat top hat is made by Kangol?  Not to mention the fact that they were cool in the mid 90's so you find them in Salvation army bins everywhere.  I can pick up a field jacket similar to what hes waring fro the army surplus store for less than 10-12 bucks and yes if you had bothered to read anything going on the youtube page or the other 2-3 Mustartd vids ....or even read the thread you could tell it was a promo for the radio show's Homeless shopping spree.  Im sure some one what he has they gave him, they found him on the streets and brought him in to do a promo and they learned he could play.

Got a job yet mike?

I know a guy who was actually closer to my best friend who wigged out one day cause he could take basiclly society and now he hops trains and well is pretty much homeless.  He usualy finds others to travel with that will end up staying in a house somewhere but hes spent his fare share under an overpass.  Hes sent me pics and post cards from the road and sometimes every few years or so he comes through Newprt News and if our passes cross we catch up.

The stories he tells are wild and to say his "skin" doesnt reflect being outside or that his jacket cost too much is just plain SIlly you silly goose.

[WPPF]

It's a good cover but I don't think he looks homeless either.  I mean he might lack a home in the most literal sense, but I don't think he sleeps on the streets and eats out of trashcans.

You're a fucking dumbass.  Seven of the kids on my myspace friends list are homeless train hoppers, and you very much can tell from their skin.   

[Teg2boo]

90% of the homeless people are there by choice. They don't want to be part of the system. Kinda like Johnny, but without the cash.

Few years ago they found a dead homeless man. The guy had 10k$ cash on him. Why he's homeless if he had more money than I do?

These guys don't want to pay tax, don't want welfare and don't want to be controlled by any authorities. 

The song sound cool tho  :yes:

I mean like i said my boy has been doing it for like 7 or 8 years now and he doesn't have leather skin but i don't think hes lying i met his travelin buddies and seen first hand what hes done.  i also don't think the Radio station randomly hired a dude, got him to grow like 2 months of beard and dressed him like that just so he sorta looks homeless lol.

i mean do you think the whole thing is a sham cause his skin doesn't look homeless?

also lol @ myspace friends.

There are rich men walking around this town, driving 1984 Toyota Tercels, that look just like that.

Yes.

also lol @ myspace friends.

How else would I know that Lucky is riding a train back to Asheville for Christmas, and then going to northern GA with Blue's family for New Years?  Phones cost money, but anyone can walk into a library and use the internet for free.  I don't know what it looks like where you are from, but 75% of the people using library computers are obviously homeless.

[97Econobox]

so then if its not on the instawebs its really not true eh Mr Davis?
Well perhaps i am a "dumbass" then cause im not going to judge wither or not someone is Homeless cause "their skin doesn't look homeless"  and if hes a shelter living homeless man or a sleeps under the overpass homeless man he still played the hell out of it and his rendition still makes me see the song in a different light..

His "non homeless skin" doesn't take away from the performance.

i still think there are varying degrees of anything and if you do not have a home i really cant see how much of a difference it makes if you are sleeping under an overpass or if you find a shelter that will take you for a week or whatever.  is there a difference well sure, but i still that hes got it easy in comparison to a dude under an overpass.

I don't work flat rate and do not have callouses on my hands but i can still tell you how to do some wrenching.  Can i rebuild a tranny or a rotory well no but i can rebuild a Honda, i don't really think that because i haven't tuned 800hp hondas means i know nuthin bout nuthin.

What is that supposed to mean?  These are people I've known for years.

Did I ever argue talent?

Shelter or overpass is irrelevant.  If you are homeless you spend a significant amount of time outside in the elements which weathers your skin, just like wrenching gives you callouses.  This dude would look it if he were homeless, have at the very least a well dressed construction worker look about him.  He doesn't.  His skin has seen neither appreciable light or wind, if anything he drinks a little.

i don't really think that because i haven't tuned 800hp hondas means i know nuthin bout nuthin. 

No, but when you don't know anything about homeless people you don't know anything about homeless people.

[97Econobox]

well then let me rephrase.  I think you are full of shit.


 

[Joseph Davis]

Quite possibly. 

[97Econobox]

I mean you only have one star.  how could you possibly know anything Mr Davis.

In fact.  im not sure you work on cars.  I think you need to produce pictures of calloused hands to prove it.  make sure they are dated, have todays newspaper near by and your Social security card in the pic too for authentication.

[Joseph Davis]

I mean you only have one star.  how could you possibly know anything Mr Davis.

Hey, FUCK YOU!!  The one-stars concern my inability to take a quality picture of video, and my hatred of people who can.  I'll have you know that I am the undisputed expert on piss injection and 700 whp D-series.

No one's getting my SSN, sorry.  Will you settle for my penis on the hood of an R34 Skyline?

[97Econobox]

Sir are you soliciting man sex from me? 

*ahem*

uh yo.  you gay.

[Passenger]

You guys must not have any musical capabilities, this guys guitar playing sucks.
