  • hey their allowed to put their own spin on whatever they want to play, sometimes the idea is to give a classic some new touches, and yes Guilmore and Slash are 2 different guitar players, I wouldnt expect the same song Pink Floyd did out of these guys, it still rocks

  • Every guy has its own style, this is a great song played for one of the great contemporary guitar man. There is no comparison between Guilmore and Slash because they belong to differents times.

  • love the atmosphere slash can build with his guitar..

    love how scott weilland deliver this song..what a band..!!!!

  • Naw. There are two reasons to do a cover version: 1. To show love for or do a homage to, an existing version (That's why the Beatles are the most covered band in history), OR 2. Because you think you can do it better (that's why Bob Dylan is the second most covered rock era musician(-everyone thinks they can better his vocals, at least, but few can!)

  • buahh terrible

  • Nobody can butcher a Pink Floyd song like Velvet Revolver! Kudos on the Massacre boyz!

  • @UtzChips2009 F U

  • What is this crap?

  • Slash likes Gilmour... ... 407 people don't

  • fantastic guys,scot,slash...huhhh!!

  • Dude, now i realize that DAVID GILMORE is a great singer thanx!!!

  • Scott did a great job singing in this one

  • "Slash will never touch Gilmour." I always thought the point of a cover was to show respect or love to the original, and not to show em up or top it.

  • no pro guitarist ever plays a cover to be 'better' than the original artist - they only play to pay homage to greatness

  • Daves early stuff sounds different then the newer stuff.No more tape delay or mini moogs for him its all pretty much straight out of the amp(into a sound board of course)

    I personally love his early stuff.Dark side was revolutionary but I like Obscured by Clouds,and More.Those are the real gems.Check a tune out called "Childhoods End"simply awesome.

  • I think that Dave is a perfect combination of blues/jazz/rock and roll.No one has been able to "feel" their way across a fret board quite like him.He has messed around with various equipment over the years and has found a sound that is truly unique to him.

  • Dave and Slash are in an elite group of performers that we dream about ourselves being in.To compare them is only human.Their are people that like Dave better(myself included)and those who like Slash better(understandable,he is a fantastic guitarist)

  • Slash, awesome. Gilmour, a Genius. No disrespect, but there is not one place to start in comparing these two. Good night on that topic...

  • i remember this. i saw this show and i never thought they would play this song but when i heard it i thought.... yeah they are great musicians

  • Gilmour and Slash are the best for me. Fied with its own specialties.

  • Yo; good music comes in all shapes and sizes

  • Plus he sings, writes, plays many more instruments. On his last solo album he taught himself to play the sax so he could play it on his album. Oh and he isn't a dick like the thousands of other rock stars on the planet. A true gentleman and the greatest guitar player ever. no one comes close.

  • Comparing David to slash is like Apples to Oranges. There is a difference between making the guitar make sounds that its not supposed to and being able to play scales really fast. Slash is just another guitar player along with thousands of others that run up and down the scales as fast as they can. Gilmour's unique talent is topped by none. Listen to every one of David's solo's never made two that sound the same. Hendrix, clapton, whoever else you think is great every song sounds the same

  • Mmm... Scott doesn't know the lyrics!

  • I dont know why but i dont like Double-neck guitars. It does not give the same classic feeling of what guitar should be .. and yeah its my personal opinion.

  • why there's all this hate..? it's only music! come on idiots!

  • I wish, I had a "velvet revolver" and start shooting some of this idiots...

  • Good effort shame we had to sit through 3 mins of bollocks to get to it and hey its better than the waters clapton version lol

  • 0:00 - 3:05 FAIL!

  • Comment removed

  • I'm feelin sorry for Velvet Revolver... A man just simply doesn't do a Pink Floyd cover if one can't do it better than they do, what of course is impossible so the concusion is - you don't do covers on Pink Floyd - you just sit, turn the light off, turn their music on and let them make you comfortably numb... Best thing I've ever done in my life...

  • where is PINK FLOYD?? :C

    

  • These guys look like idiots for covering Gilmour.

  • sucks... end of story, leave classics alone

  • I feel as though Slash is more talented than Gilmour when it comes to the guitar. They're both totally different styles though, it's really hard to compare the two...

  • @DeAdiSSu3 I like both Guns and Floyd, but come on...really?

  • @henkestenke Yeah. In terms of raw playing talent, definately. Slash is better. Gilmour is a more well-rounded artist though, song writer, vocalist, playing/singing at the same time, and his guitar skills are without a doubt, world-class and very, VERY good, and much more innovative, but Slash (in my opinion) is up there with SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, Page etc. I'm much more of a pink floyd fan too. If not for Slash, guns n roses would've been just another 80's band IMO

  • @DeAdiSSu3 As for Guns n Roses, they would have just been another 80s band without Slash, or without Axl, or without Izzy.

  • ademas no compares knocking on heavens door por q la interpretaba Axl y con su voz sonaba hermosa!

  • @weriitahermoxa no hay la original de Bob Dylan

  • Si slash es bueno pero q no haga desfiguros,ademas el vocalista parece idiota con ese bailecito q nada q ver y de la voz q asco!!!!

  • why god, why did you let them fuck this amazing song up??????

  • @Hellraider33 hey dude shut up, its a cover they don't need to play exactly like gilmour used to play... like knocking on heavens door from bob dylan, they made their on version... so stop judging what they are doing!

  • @Hellraider33 - Couldn't have said it any better!! They destroyed a great song.....

  • Slash IS SLASH nuff said

  • Ojo tambien me gusta slash pero hay q ser realistas es una falta de respeto q a David G. lo comparen,tiene una trayectoria insuperable,slash es bueno pero no tanto como Gilmour!!!!

  • no q horror q es esto!!! y eso de q slash escribe mejor q GILMOUR porfavor David esta a un nivel superior no hay comparacion !!!!

  • Slash is Great and Gilmour is Great also !! They are just both different styles. Imagine Gilmour trying to play Guns and Roses ???

  • @walrus19691 Hah Gilmour would tear a whole in slashes space time continuum.

  • slash = good but gilmour = god!!!

  • 2:05 the flying bra!

  • Slash's live solos are never perfect even for his own GNR songs..check out Gilmour live...the man is a fucking genius...he does it perfect..!

  • @Nikolabetterman Nah , you just jealous .

  • @Ketchapoern101 Wrong. He would sell his mother for right amount of money.

  • Really good remake. Weiland does a great job with lyrics, and slash is amazing.

  • Where was this recorded?

  • SLASH <3

  • Slash can't play the way Guilmore plays, and Guilmore can't play what Slash does. They are different. Imagine the case that Guilmore wants to play November Rain solos, it's impossible.

    Don't be that stone headed! It's classicism, be more realistic!

  • What the hell is wrong with some of you people? Is the title of this video "Which is better: David Gilmour or Slash?" Why does every song have to be a huge war over "who does it better?" geeze....

  • i love Gilmour, but i fucking hate most of his fans. Shut the fuck up you losers.

  • fuck i love both bands but i say - two things:

    too much reverb and junkie fuck singing it cant remember the words

  • You know those guitars that are like double guitars, you know?

  • @loltion so?

  • @loltion uhmmm doublenecks?

  • I like Slash....but Gilmour is genius

  • @Ganjaforyou Slash is the genious

  • @Ganjaforyou hey dude shut up, its a cover they don't need to play exactly like gilmour used to play... like knocking on heavens door from bob dylan, they made their on version... so stop judging what they are doing! AND SLASH IS F...NG AWESOME!!! GOD bless Rock n' Roll

  • @lkforce totally agree.how slash says in his autobiography,if you play a cover you have to play it how you want and how you feel.

  • @suxmax perfect!

  • omg ... SO SAD !! this is a wonderfull cover, just let them play the song on their own way.. thats what makes it so special !!

  • @ralffran whatt ??? what is with Use your illusion I and II and after that?? there are many beautiful songs like Civil War Dont Cry Novembair Rain Estranged...

    After AFD the were better and better not.. they were not comercial produkt...

  • It doesnt sound anything like "wish you were here":(

  • @rjth3gamewiz it starts at 3:07

  • only shit!

  • Damn fuckers! Always hatin' instead of sticking together...

  • Damn fuckers! Always hatin' instead of sticking together...

  • @davidmaxpower no way dude. I love Slash, he's the reason I started playing. Different types of music, but Gilmour is a lot more soulful and legendary.

  • this was the best super band ever! too bad they stopped making music

  • Fukin bad audience! They can't just shut up and listen!

  • Idiots, no match for pink

  • Slash should stick to his originals.....

  • Really good (and accurate) vocals, okay cover.

  • 2:04 - 2:06

    Thumbs up if you've seen flying cat or whatever ;p

    BTW. Slash's doubleneck Guild guitar looks so pretty... yay

  • @IronShadow93

    I think it that's a bra...

  • Why would slash want to "Reach" Gilmour? Why even compare when someone wants to cover. The point of a cover is to put your spin it. although I will say, I can play the solo better than Slash!!! I will say this, Nice try!

  • WOW, they just looks like a drugged

  • Comment removed

  • This is just SAD

  • incredible neither them can do something decent if made a cover of the unapproachable pink floyd

  • rubbish

  • Slash will never reach Gilmour... never

  • @1MochiMochi1 that was a good one!

  • @1MochiMochi1 Erm, he wasn;t trying to imitate him, he merely loved the song and would like to play his own version of it. And did guns n roses not pull the song "knockin' on heavens door" to a new level?

  • @Dayspa17 Axl and gnr ass-raped Knockin on Heaven's Door. It was abomination.

  • @Dayspa17 No man, they convert that beautiful Dylan's song in a fuckin' POP of shit, Guns n Roses was a good band only in the Apettite For Destruction, after that they was a fuckin' comercial product.

  • @ralffran Bullshit, more then half the songs on UYI were made BEFORE AFD was ever even recorded.

  • @freaknbigpanda I dont know man but im only tellin' the truth, only AFD was Hard Rock and some songs of the another albums, but the UYI was pop only fuckin' pop! Only November Rain is a good song...

  • @1MochiMochi1 who said he want to reach him ? ;P

    no offence m8

  • @1MochiMochi1 You're Right man slash never gonna reach the Gilmour's psychedelic sound ;)

  • @1MochiMochi1 Two different genres. Not comparable. But I do concede that Gilmour is basically untouchable by any other guitarist alive today.

  • @1MochiMochi1 Fuck u!!!!!!!!!! Even if Gilmour created this song doesn't mean Slash is a fuck !!! In my opinion ... Slash wrote better stuff that gilmour

  • @1MochiMochi1 @Hellraider33 hey dude shut up, its a cover they don't need to play exactly like gilmour used to play... like knocking on heavens door from bob dylan, they made their on version... so stop judging what they are doing!

  • @1MochiMochi1 you're right, he passes from him a loooooong time ago... they're both genius, but slash has more feeling and is more talented in the guitar.

  • @phillipebh1 slash isnt even tht great as pple make him out to be. Page, Hendrix, Clapton, and Gilmour are the best in rock, no doubt about it.

  • @zzxKLuTcHxzz Each of them have their strengths, each of them have their weaknesses. I'd put Slash up there with them though. Each of them changed music in their own way.

  • @1MochiMochi1 too different to compare..mochimochi

  • @1MochiMochi1 slash is better.... gilmour is good but slash, is slash!!

  • @1MochiMochi1 too late

  • i know no one can beat Pink Floyd, but this was a prettttty good cover!

  • it's beautiful cover

  • the slasher!

  • Pretty good cover!

  • sparklehorse did it better and i like there cover better thank pink floyds

  • co to za cwel wtej nazistowskiej,szwabskiej czapce?

  • I'm surprised Matt Sorum didn't find a way to ruin this song.

  • lol song.

  • Intro sounds like a badly tuned banjo version of something from Deliverance. Very poor considering that talent on show here.

  • M Shadows for VR!!!

  • This is pretty bad... I am a fan of both floyd and slash but this is just an awful cover. :(

  • this is shit....not the shit...but shit...

  • I LOVE VELVET REVOLVER AND SCOTT WEILAND BUT THIS IS NOT THE BEST PREFORMANCE : ) SOUNDS LIKE THEY ALL DID TOO MUCH DOPE BEFORE THEY CAME OUT ON STAGE. DO BETTER LOVE, DO BETTER. I STILL LOVE YOU SCOTT!!! HAHAA

  • lmao this is kinda pathetic

  • what a bunch of fucking posers, sounds like an open mike effort,fucking useless.

  • THIS IS COVER...NOT ORIGINAL!!

  • This simply sucks!

  • chemhandbook - you're a bell end...ssshhhhhh

  • i think roger would be proud

  • perfect example of encore REALLY not rehearsed, but some parts are very good

  • @Bocephusdixie It actually just sounds like they put their own spin on it.

    That's what a cover is supposed to be, ya know. A band playing a song they like, while adding their sound to it.

  • much worse.

  • I love Slash, he's one of the greatest guitar players alive, and I love Pink Floyd even more, my favourite band in history, this cover is very good, doesn't compare to the original, but still, awesome.

  • I Love alot kinds of music new and old, but i love old stuff alot more now and days. and i love hearing covers from bands, and i love this cover, i think Scott did a great cover with slash!! i still love Korn's Cover Of ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL!!! STILL THIS IS A GREAT COVER!

  • youtube.com/watch?v=U0EW2H2_lw­c

    youtube.com/watch?v=U0EW2H2_lw­c

  • pink floyd is great and all, but i really dig that bluesy solo deal that slash does in the beginning. Idon't think that VR is trying to do "better" --people do covers for fun and to show respect not to one-up the originals.

  • Really...Wish you were here came out long before The Wall!

  • He's wearing the nazi hat to replicate the character pink in the movie" the wall" ( at the very end of the movie)

  • Nazi hat, fuckin' idiots.

  • whats up with the dip shit singer wearing a nazi officer cap? I think that it may even be an SS hate. How is that even remotely cool man?

  • @ztwadd Its the kind of thing shock rock bands do (Not implying VR is one). It has no idealogical purpose its just to shock the audience. Some say it was invented by Jimmy Page,who used to wear an SS uniform in some of the Yardbird's concerts as well as playing recordings of Hitler's speaches before some songs and in no way is Jimmy Page a Nazi, it's just for the shock effect as I said.

  • whats up with the dip shit singer wearing a nazi officer cap? I think that it may even be an SS hate. How is that even remotely cool man?

  • was he so high he forgot the words? anyway no one can play this better then gilmore/waters so why even try??????????????

  • PF actally starts at 3:15

  • The sad part is Weilands Talent never was enough, with STP or Velvet, he could never keep it together, Isn't being there good enough, Kids.... Do drugs, but don't let them do you! :-)

  • man, i love pink floyd, hate slash, hate gnr and hate tophats, i was never gunna enjoy this video from the first second. Also horrible cover and slash always tries to compete with guitarists but he just fails. gilmour > slash.

  • @lees2oo8 I'm sorry , you must be some sort of a music major---- Dumb Ass! Soooo Ignorant!

    2 words -- Paradise City Beeeeoch!:-)

  • @1smitty1212 that's three words, but okay... I understand you probably like gnr, I'm not gunna try and change your mind, it's just that my taste in music is of a higher standard, pink floyd being an example of it

  • @lees2oo8 Na Man , I agree on some levels, I freakin hate Axle, Never a big G-n-R fan , FLOYD FIRST! LOL, but Slash is truely amazing, I watched him front row at red reocks tear up a 20 min version of Knockin on Heavens door with Snake Pit, AMAZING, and for the most part his chops are unstoppable. I have heard way to many crappy Floyd covers to put him in that catagorie, and if you know you shit, that rant before is full of EPIC blues runs, and the 12 string double neck.....WTF! Yaah! Rock on!

  • @1smitty1212 well that's an interesting point, but can you actually play guitar?

  • @lees2oo8 Welll... I pride my self on not being an Ego Trip, but yeah I been known to cut my share of heads!

    I'll have a web cam soon, and hope to give all a taste....:-)

  • @1smitty1212 just curious, most slash fans can't actually play guitar... that's all

  • God dam it took 3 minutes of waiting for slash's ego to wear down before they got to the song WTF

  • I'm sorry but Slash is overrated.

    Cover's good though.

  • sounds like seamus

  • Wish you were here Axl

  • Refura: i am massive PF fan too .... in fact last week in México we had the Wall Live and it was an extraordinay moment .... any way ,i watched the Scissor Sister´s video and is a kick on the nuts .... but i am not sure if is the worst ... please look in youtube for "pink Floyd de la sierra"

  • "we are not as cool as Pink Floyd, but we are doing our best"

  • EL LE MEJOR COVER QUE EH ESCUSHADO

    HACER UNA PIEZA GRANDE

    A LO ETERNO

    GRRRRRRRRRR

    ♥ SLASH!!

    xD

  • velvet come back to home.

    ROGER WATERS AND DAVID GILMOUR NEVER COMPARED!!! WITH THIS GUYS

    PINK FLOYD RULES

  • Comment removed

  • You tards it is going to be different for everyone. Looks to me they are feeling it and looks to me they got a full house.

    When you play you play what moves you and if your lucky enough maybe it will move some else. That is how a fan is made and if you are really lucky you keep wowing them for a long time. Just think about how long these guys have been in the spot light....... I would have to say they are doing something right!!!

    Cheers

  • I love Pink Floyd and most of the time I love when bands cover them but this is just the worst! I mean it sounds nothing like it and there just making me wish I had the time I just wasted watching this back. I mean this song was a tribute to Syd Barret wtf do they know about it!

  • @Refura86 yeah wtf would they know its not as if they are all brilliant musicians with decades of experience at the top. The idea of covering a song is to put your own perspective on it not simply replicate the damn thing. These guys have lived music their whole lives so i am sure they are aware of its significance!

  • @Refura86 - I am a massive PF fan but I have to disagree with you. This is NOT the worst cover (in fact I kinda like it, but that's not my point) of a PF song.

    If you think this is bad then you cant have heard the Scissor Sister's version of Comfortably Numb. Without a doubt, THE worst cover (of anything) I have ever heard. Total sacrilege.

  • leave it to floyd boys
