Rebel Rebel - David Bowie - Guitar Cover

[AK47masterpiece]

Can you make a few guitar covers for Metallica?

[AK47masterpiece]

Uh, I think the view counter is broken because it's only counting my view!

@AK47masterpiece

Yeah, the public video counters can be pretty unreliable once they get over 300 views. They tend to get updated reasonably regularly (e.g., couple of times per day) but sometimes they get stuck for days and even weeks. Also views from different platforms such as mobiles and tablets and different geographies seem to be on different update cycles. It's also possible that you're the only one viewing the vid, so thanks. :-) Ron

[AK47masterpiece]

@iamRottenRon I know! Seriously, it's been, like, two days and I've viewed this vid atleast 3 billion times and view counter hasn't gone up at all. Keep up the good work, I'm your #1 fan. You've inspired me to get out my old guitar and try to learn these songs again, thanks.

@AK47masterpiece

Good to hear that you've picked up the guitar again. I always regretted stopping many years ago. One thing that really helped me this time around is ensuring that I play every day, even if it's just for a few minutes.Good luck and thanks a million for the support - Ron

[AK47masterpiece]

AWESOME

Thanks very much for your support, it really makes a difference - Ron

[TheSsalty]

I use a lot of that stuff

[TheSsalty]

Did you tube send you a e mail saying that you had copyrighted stuff in the vid?

[iamRottenRon]

@TheSsalty

Yes, all four of my David Bowie covers were flagged with content ID matches, e.g., "matched third party content" which indicates that the videos may include content that is owned or administered by specific entities. The videos are still available worldwide, however in some cases ads may appear next to the video. This is quite common when doing covers - Ron

@CassandraAntares

Thanks so much for the support Cassie, I really appreciate it - Ron

[TheSsalty]

i love your gutar



[iamRottenRon]

@TheSsalty

Thanks for viewing. The guitar make is "Godin" and the model is "Detour". I bought it used but based on what I read online Godin is a Canadian company. The guitar parts are made in Canada although the guitar itself is assembled in the U.S. - Ron

[CassandraAntares]

Awesome!! vid, awesome job

@CassandraAntares

@Jcoch01

Thanks a lot James. I've been working pretty hard on my tone so your comment is very rewarding. Many thanks for viewing and your support - Ron

[LadyBowie1119]

This is AMAZING! You are VERY good. David Bowie is my IDOL I LOVE everything about him and to hear a good cover of his songs is rare for me so congrats! I saw you also have a vid of you playing Young Americans. Do you think you'll do more of his songs?

[iamRottenRon]

@LadyBowie1119

Thanks so much for viewing and the kind assessment. I got the impression from your channel that you were a big David Bowie fan and I can't say that I blame you. I'm a huge fan as well and I'm currently working on a cover of Ziggy Stardust, one of my favourite Bowie personas. I should be able to post it in the next week or so. Thanks again for the feedback - Ron

[iamRottenRon]

@sydjimiizzy

Hey Gris, thanks so much for stopping by. I think Bowie had one of the best and most distinctive voices in rock. I loved his short-lived Ziggy Stardust persona. Thanks for viewing and commenting - Ron

[Csokihun]

I didn't even know this song before, good choice and good cover! ;) you should play some of his songs on your bass, there are some cool basslines! ;)

[iamRottenRon]

@Csokihun

Hey dude, nice to hear from you. Yes you're right, a lot of his songs have great basslines. I did a bass cover of Young Americans a while back although my sound quality wasn't very good back then. Thanks for viewing - Ron

[JStraw7103]

Nicely done.

[iamRottenRon]

@JStraw7103

Thanks a lot Ian, I really appreciate you're taking the time to check it out - Ron

[gitcover]

Nice job Ron - really plesure to listen and watch how you playing this. You made guitar lauder so it's now clearer seen that you're playing this after all it's your cover :)

[iamRottenRon]

@gitcover

Thanks man! I was a huge Bowie fan awhile back and I'm currently re-discovering his great catalog of music. Many thanks for taking time to comment - Ron

[duilkin]

ohh nooooo!!!! I thought this song was the Rolling Stones :O KILL ME!!!!!!! (nice job)

[iamRottenRon]

@duilkin

Well, Jagger and Bowie did do a duet together (cover of Dancing in the Streets). Also, I'm quite sure you weren't around when it was released in 1974, so all is forgiven. :-) Thanks for viewing - Ron
