Look at all the mad purist fanboiz/galz... It is a TRIBUTE version, not a carbon-copy cover, stop treating it as such, geez. You chose to load this up knowing it was other artists performing, if you are likely to be disappointed it isn't like the original, then you're only bringing the let down on yourself. Sure, it's not the best version, but far from the worst. I quite like O's solo, not a typical rip off (even drummers can play Jimmy's solo), but still within the feel of the song.
It is sad when a Legend Steve Vai among them and doesn't get the respect he deserves. Mary byatch and the band wtf! Steve Vai is such a generous and giving person playin rythem so beautifully and not doing the lead. Vai woulf have killed the solo. Orianthi is average maybe less. And Mary J blige SUX here SUX!!
Vocalwork made me mad. Sorry, it just was not that great. Cringeworthy is the best way to describe it.
Orianthi should not have changed the solo-it was perfect the way it was.
Why she was doing lead rather than Dr. Vai is beyond me to START with... Then to cut volume ON Steve when he's doing the lead at the end? No. This does not work for me.
Barker's drums were amazing (although I'm loath to say that).
fuck mary J!!, she sang it kinda pop song :S it sucks... just take a look to the cover that HEART did.. that is the best cover of this song ever made!!
just out of curiosity, how could anyone critsize the original version. This is merely a pale imitation of the original, done by someone who usually sings unimaginative mass produced pap. Listen to the singers of the 60's, & 70's & 80's. They sang like the devil was chasing them. Only a couple of current singers still belt them out, Brian Johnson being a good example. Mary J. Blige, is doing a poor copy.
O.K., now you must be trying to sound stupid, nobody can be that stupid and still operate a computer...it's some sort of miracle of science or something..."NO ONE knew of the original"...the only thing you know about rock is that you've been living under one, apparently. I shouldn't call you an idiot anymore, that would be insulting the rest of the idiots...and you're RACIST, TOO, on top of being severely retarded...
@cathoderoy Dude dont get pissed some people are just stupid. I bet this guy does not even know any music before 2000, which is very sad but what are you gonna do, just let him listen to his shitty Mary music
@guitarkingedri I'm not sure if he actually is that stupid, I think he must be screwing with us, he's said some of the stupidest, most uninformed things I've ever heard...you'd think if he has that much respect for Mary J. Blige, he would also understand that original artists usually only bother covering songs they have some sort of fondness for, which is validation in a way for that song, but it appears he's too twisted to understand that...I don't know, I'm not sure I buy it...
@guitarkingedri Yeah, I think I'm giving him too much credit, he did argue like a moron...I'm going with moron...it's just a coincidence that he chose to dis the most revered song in rock history...
@guitarkingedri ...also, if anything, "Stairway" is overrated, which makes it more unlikely that a person would not know of it's legendary status...if you're gonna piss someone off, picking something as iconic as that is the perfect way to do it...maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it seems he's making himself too easy a target...
@tarantella212 ...that comment was directed more towards HereForMary, not you...the ironic thing is that I have to play it this Fri. night at a benefit with a bunch of musicians I've never played with before, in front of hundreds of people, with no rehearsal, so, who knows, this version with Mary J. may not seem too bad afterwards...
@HereForMary1 Shut up bitch and stop convincing ppl that Mary is something. The last good record she did was ONE and since then she been singing shitty songs.
@HereForMary1 Holy FUCK!! That is just about the STUPIDEST fucking thing I've ever read on YouTube, and there are some severely retarded idiots here...it's just CLASSIC idiocy...good job douche bag, you made my day!!
@HereForMary1 I'm referring to the "BETTER than the shitty original." line, of course, not the comments it generated...thanks again, that was amusing, you tasteless asshole.
@HereForMary1 The FACT that you've got some fanatical fixation for Mary J. Bilge*?...it's sad and pathetic...and delusions about the original? Why does the entire planet consider the Zep version a classic, including the object of your worship, who, unfortunately decided to do her worst to it...are you saying she's deluded, too?
@cathoderoy NO ONE knew of the original until Mary did it faggot, she made it & now it's her song & you gotta deal with it redneck faggot.LOL @ white people judging music, where is the logic?
@HereForMary1 Im not trying to get into this but dont be a fucking idiot man. I have never even heard of Mary, and Stairway is the most popular song on earth. Its not Marys song, it Zeppelins, and either you live in a box or your just fucking dumb, but ask anyone, go out of your house right now and ask them if they know stairway they will say that its a Zeppelin song and that it is amazing
@guitarkingedri Stop lying you dumb faggot & this song now belongs to the QUEEN! Led Zepplin version is HORRIBLE, u dont know talent dummy, you're white.
@HereForMary1 O.K., I'll play along, again...if the Zep version is so horrible, why does the woman you refer to as "The Queen" have the poor taste to cover such an atrocious song? Wouldn't someone that despises something not want to be associated with it for artistic reasons? She obviously has some respect for the band and the song, and if you worship her that much shouldn't it give the song some sort of credibility...that is, if you're capable of using simple logic, but I think that's out...
@HereForMary1 I don't have to deal with it, you couldn't pay me to watch it again, although that chick (Orianthi) and Steve Vai did an O.K. job on it...btw, do you happen to like Randy Jackson's lame bass playing because he's black? I figured, being a racist might have that effect, you know, all whites are assholes and blacks are automatically impervious to criticism...Randy Jackson's a complete jack ass, I don't know anybody that takes that guy seriously, in or out of the music industry...
@cathoderoy i know what you mean. no one can play stairway like the ZEP did. also i am sick of all these rappers, hip hop, and r&b artists trying to cover rock songs. their genre of music sounds like shit to start with, do they have to destroy our music too. also it just shows how untalented and unoriginal their genres are also. these people need to quite. if you are not a rocker do not do rock music. if any of my bands ever make it big the shit will stop cause i am gonna tell it like it is.
why cant she play original solo.grrrrrrr
