How does this not have more likes and views. Probably because people don't like real music anymore. This is the kind of song Lemmy would have loved..

[KevinMeehanWhistle]

I keep coming back to this. Its a master piece

[alessiosanti]

Wow! The right hand technique is brilliant. Outstanding performance

[chloechan]

Been coming back to this for years. I'm so glad you shared your talents, this cover is unreal

[kylelesh]

Awesome to see you and the lads perform this on Celebrity X!!

[lemons]

Tony I don't know where to start man. This is beyond amazing. I genuinely can't get over your talent. Your guitar playing alone is phenomenal - you're literally providing the rhythm section with your right hand (honestly what you had going on in the verses had me headbanging!) - but added to your incredible vocals... what an incredible cover you've put together! I'm actually a glasgow uni student who's been fortunate enough to see you live at a couple of events and I've been continuously blown away thus why I check you out on here. I really hope you get picked up man, you deserve it! If you ever need a keyboard player or ever just fancy a jam lemme know! Keep it up man!

The three humans that disliked this have no soul

[dermotthefifth]

C'mere to me fella, when are you going to get and do a few gigs so we can hear more of that awesome music from ya!

[stonerpartyletsGO]

Wow. I usually NEVER comment on covers, I just browse through them when I find a song I like. BUT BRA-FRICKING-VO! What an amazing translation of chords, and song progression! Truly a genius cover! I definitely want to check out more of your stuff now. Edit* Is that a martin? How did you get that amazingly punctual triplet sound?

[tomfisher]

What tuning are you in dude? Sounds awesome

[darrenwallguitar]

One of the coolest covers I've ever seen! What tuning are you using?!

[FinbarMagee]

Jeepers creepers - a friend Bernie Murphy from Keady (banjo) got me listening to this. Brilliant! A wee question - on about 44 secs when you sing "if you're really..." - are you using any type of effect/beat pedal? It's like a Stevie Wonder rhythm. Can't get me fingers around it - but that could be due to a gross lack of skill on my behalf!

Do you have the tabs for your version ?
