[xxnwoxx]

Love this song and and love your version, especially then ending. Epic.

[rodimuspimp]

this is a very good cover

[yibbies]

This is excellent, I'm impressed with your 'intimate' version here, Gareth. Well done!

[evaderGNR]

Stunning version! I was dually impressed when you jumped an octave and showed some "rasp" toward the end. Magnificent job with the acoustic cover! Going to listen to your other work now!

[skullgb]

Veryyy Goood man, you are the best ! õ/ axl77

[axl77]

@skullgb Thank you :) Really enjoyed covering this one, was messing round with the chords to Prostitute earlier today. May have to see about getting an acoustic cover of that up soon :)

[Hallucination]

@axl77 hell yeah dude. Prostitute is the best song off Chinese Democracy. You'd kill it on that one I'm sure.  Your vocals at the end of TWAT are insane man!

[chambelf7]

awesome, really awesome. you made the best cover by far of all i've ever seen. keep it up dude, you're great singing and playing guitar.

sorry for the bad english,

brazilians greetings!

[alezandersantiago]

Nice job!!!!! I like your high notes!!! ;) I want sing so...someday i will can.

[SasquatchBanana]

Holy shit. Dude fantastic job.

[axl77]

@SasquatchBanana Thankyou very much. Glad to know you liked it :) Im very much a fan of Chinese Democracy. Its a great album.

[SasquatchBanana]

@axl77 Dam straight. And this song is by far my favourite song on the whole album. Blows my mind every time I listen to it. You did a really good job with it too keep it up man.

[Estranged9]

love the striped down version !! love the covers and the efforts!

Still one of the best "lyics/story" on Chinese !!

Good work Gareth! hope your search for the GnR Cover band is going good ;) cheers

[axl77]

@Estranged9 Thank you :) My GNR tribute band is in its early stages. Theres nothing concrete decided on in terms of band members. The hardest job i have is finding a Slash with the suitable look and skill.

[TheAeromiss]

it's better than axel's one

[LunaticAligator]

great work !

The best cover.

[KaanU74]

Man it is AMAZİNG. You must be a mp3 version of this cover!

[GeeJamin]

Good god this is good...Up there with the original in my book. Nice work dude! :)

[dadogunner]

Man ! You're the best !!!!! Thank you for gifting us with

his musical interpretations!

[ennazk]

And I thought nobody could cover this! amazing!

[axl77]

@ennazk Thank you very much for saying that. It was a challenge to cover this one and i wanted to try and do a version that showed off the chord structure rather than doing lots of layering like on the original song. Im really glad you liked my version and am grateful to you for taking the time to let me know you liked it. Gareth :)

[HGJDmino]

@axl77

At 4:00 I actually widened my eyes in amazement. The only thing that let me down was that you didn't hold that last note longer, it would have been even more amazing.

[slashmaster124]

BEST T-SHIRT EVR

[axl77]

@slashmaster124 Glad you like it, Ghostbusters is a film i love, set in my favourite city in the world, with one of my favourite comedy actors, Bill Murray, oh and let us not forget the awesome Slimer!!

[l1ngan]

better than original ;)

[thatguyoverthere06]

Love Guns and Roses, i tried to like chinese democracy and i dont hate it, but you made me really appreciate axl again thanks for that.

[axl77]

@thatguyoverthere06 That's great to hear. Personally, i think Chinese Democracy is something of a masterpiece. I saw some old interviews with Axl recently in which he talks about how the majority of Guns N Roses fans misunderstood Appetite For Destruction. A lot saw it as glamming up sex,drugs n rock n roll when in actuality the album was written describing those things as a destructive and oppressive force. A lot of people wanted Chinese Democracy to be Appetite 2. It was never going to be.

[gez2007]

@axl77 CD was hyped a lot by the media which why it was never going to meet peoples high expectations. I think it is a well crafted masterpiece, people don't see it now, but in many years time, it will be regarded as a classic. I wouldn't liked it if Axl tried to make it as much like Appetite as possible. It is what it is.

Hell, a lot of people claim to hate it without even listening to it.

[TheGermanDrummer]

are you the guy with the Guns N Roses Picture in Facebook?

by the way, nice Cover!

[axl77]

@TheGermanDrummer Hi, no i don't know who that is. My facebook profile has a picture of me. There's two ways of being in touch with me on Facebook. I have a personal profile and also an artist profile. You can follow both if you like, that Guns N Roses thing must have been done by someone else but it has nothing to do with me.

[nirolfik]

dude, u're amazing, u got great talent, never give up and u'll become very famous, U will feed many souls with your great music, u got magic voice, u got nice guitar skill. WE TRUST IN YOU !!!

[06KbH]

Continue doing this! It's really good. Within 5 years you're on the radio.

[TheJohnny990]

u nailed the high notes.

[TheJohnny990]

What's great about this song is that it works in a lot of different arangements. this song works in this arrangement, would sound cool if u took this arrangement and added strings, it could work if u did it with just piano and strings, could work with just an electric guitar, the album version works 2.

[TheJohnny990]

NICE COVER! What chords r u playin just wondering?

[junnybungle]

I really love this one Gareth, goodwork :)

[mph4701]

Thumbs up, I like!

[Xille96]

German: Unglaubliche Stimme und ein unglaubliches Cover. Sehr gute Arbeit, Gareth.

English: unbelievable voice and a unbelievable cover. Very good work, Gareth. ;)

[axl77]

@Xille96 Thank you so much, its great to hear from you on this one. I love Chinese Democracy so much and it still sounds like a brand new album to me

[gibbo28]

Nice one mate cant wait to hear Sorry

[huntermc]

Nice work!

[vikingasjal]

4:00 is amazing :)

[axl77]

@vikingasjal Thank you :) Glad to hear/read that you enjoyed my version. This song is so epic. I still feel as though Axl Rose doesnt get enough credit for being a top songwriter.

[IronRoses24]

WoooOOOO one of my fav's you just shot that sucker down[ in good way ] !!!!

[axl77]

@IronRoses24 Thank you very much, its great to hear you liked this :)

[Themunz400]

@axl77 this is AMAZING, you are so good, in my opinion you are better than axl. great cover, no doubt the best on youtube!

[vikingasjal]

Better than the overproduced original.

[axl77]

@vikingasjal Thank you so much :)

[AndrewAviles]

Man I've commented on some of your videos and I'm a realy GNR fan, so I almost never like guns n roses covers but you rock And I loved all of you covers. congratulations and keep doing GNR covers becaus you are good.

see ya.

Andrew

[axl77]

@AndrewAviles Its high praise coming from a proper GNR fan. The music of Guns N Roses means a heck of a lot to me. To read that you enjoyed this version and accepted it as another interpretation speaks volumes for you as a listener. Much appreciated :)

[anden9301]

I will say something here, You are not axel rose and you will never be!!!!!! your not even close to him in your voice or expression, You are Gareth Rhodes And you got a damn awesome and kind of unique voice and a relaxed and nice expression and i can honestly see how much you enjoy doing this, Remember You are Gareth and you may be the next star within music!!!! so keep it up and your day will come pretty soon!

[Primeministerr]

The next axel rose, ladies and gentlemen!

[cubbyblues]

Came back for another listen. I think this might be the best Gn'R cover that not just you've done here on youtube but that I've ever heard.

[MattyRds95]

Bro! your incredible, you definitely deserve that place in the tribute band with that sort of range! amazing stuff... :)

[AshbaWAxLR]

awesome. i respect your work!

[Berqy123]

You blew me away again Gareth... You rock dude... Wow..

[jvthefreestyler]

I like that sound (y)

[dmio2]

[cubbyblues]

Where can I download your covers, man? Please make some (or at least this one) available. I like your mellow versions of GnR heavier stuff.

[cubbyblues]

[cubbyblues]

Sick, man. I really enjoyed your mellow cover of this one.

[slimyesli]

you should be president of the world

[slimyesli]

Better than original!

[music0bear]

Good job.

[ofekgnr]

Dude the cover is amazing!

[oldgunsgoodguns]

[Newbren34]

I actually prefer this to the GNR version :)

[thejonhendricks]

fuckin cool man, it would be awesome if you would post the chord progressions you use!

[krummakot]

i can't even find the right words to describe this. Genius!!

[alexdmni]

I've been waiting for this one for a while! Thank you <3

[infinitdream]

Amazing!!! ehy Gareth, make a new "Dont cry" and "Always"

[FEVERPITCHROCKNROLL]

Amazing as usual.

[killerpfurtz]

Hey Amazing cover, could you please do One Step Closer?

Greetings from Germany.

The way you sing at the end... wow!! Superpro.

[N1nJAGoAT]

Awsome mate nailed it particularly hard sony to cover proper mate and tbh that was just prefect. Not over done just on the nail loved it. Keep them coming mate enjoying your music.
