  • I could so toke to this. Beautiful.

  • the like/dislike bar looks like a little doobie

  • Essa versao é muito linda.

  • i can vibe to both him and marley. everyone forgot the concept "one love" marley would appreciate xavier's music.

  • nice cover but i agree Bob Marley is hard to beat

  • woody boot boot ding ding

  • This is amazing. But you guys are making it sound like musicians aren't allowed to cover Bob Marley????!!!???? Grow up and enjoy this, will ya??

  • love this version

  • People need to stop hating. Xavier Rudd isn't trying to be better than Bob Marley, but his cover of this song is definitely a beautiful tribute to Marley. Everyone loves the original because it's so beautiful and full of emotion, but Rudd takes it and makes it his own which is admirable. They are both great so let's all just enjoy the amazing music!

  • a ruins lost esence

  • listen to other Xavier Rudd songs people and you will see he is amazing and doesnt have to compete with Bob Marley because he is different and amazing in his own right.........plus he is aussie like me!!

  • guitarra de 12 cuerdas???

  • This is the best cover of the original song, but just that. Great Xavier Ruud...

  • utter shite...

  • No fog machines were harmed (or used) in the making of this video.

  • gives me chills everytime !

  • hes got no soul. bobs version was so succesful because it was a pure expression of emotion, because i think it meant more to him

  • his music is simply a guide to life and how beautiful it is

    

  • fantástico, apaixonante, ouvir Xavier é o mesmo que visita o céu...

    Abraço

    Rita

  • he reminds me of bob Marley and john butler

  • @Ladsyadsy two of my favorite artists, can't go wrong!

  • just got chills...

  • One of the VERY FEW covers of "no woman no cry" i actually can enjoy listening to. Xavier was given this song by Bob as well as the blessing to mold it into his own.

  • Which gig is this?

  • Man he's the same as Kurt Cobain!!!

  • @002solidsnake I never thought of it like that but yeah, he kinda is. Haha

  • him and bob should do a song together :(

  • @Mr420Tommy

    bob should sing it and he should play the guitar ;)

  • People dont really get it do they? He has a beautiful voice very polished and refined and very technical and very smooth. But the thing is that this song isnt supposed to be song in a posh and smooth voice. This is world music it belongs to the third world not the first so when he sings "I remember when we used to sit in government yard in trenchtown" you know its just not true !!! you know that he has never had to go and sit inside a government compound because the world outside is so fucked up

  • @moonlightonariver nahh dudeee.. its so sick, it a tribute to ole bob man.. xavier touched this song with his own style... bob would be proud.. open your mind up bro

  • 0:56 is that a resonator bass? :O

  • @ginseng1550

    indeed it is ;)

  • what an arsenal!

  • Ben Howard - Keep Your Head Up 

    Great Song

  • Great!!

    

  • I think Bob Marley would be greatly pleased that someone liked this song enough to do their own little twist on it and make it their own. So many people are forgetting that Mr. Marley was about LOVE not HATE, show the love people, enjoy the tune and think of those you love and those who could use a little love in their life.

  • this is the art of making music your own... and i can only imagine that bob would love this song... :)

  • best cover ive ever heard

  • WOW! What an excellent take on a classic song! Everything really is gonna be alright!

  • Awesome work! But he should improve his voice tone and power i think :)

  • morons--that sucks and he should never play that again!! poor marley is rolling in his grave!

  • @mnwild4461 HA! its funny how dumb you sound

  • @mnwild4461 bob would be ashamed if he would see what you have said.

  • puaj!

  • Bob would be proud!

  • Xavier claimed this song.

  • Just because they have the same lyrics and same basic musical structure, it doesn't mean they are the same. Its really to compare the two songs guys. The fact is they both reflect two sides of the same awesomeness.

  • Why is everyone comparing xavier and bob? They are both amazing musicians who tell stories and peace in there music, but they are/were seperate musicians. They are both amazing in there own right, leave it at that<3

  • better than original

  • this is unfair... he is really good but you just can't compete with Bob Marley

  • @klasmadin17 Who say's hes competing? He's a musician in his own right

  • and bob marley couldn't play all those instruments

  • @klasmadin17 personne ne peut rivaliser avec " Bob Marley " on ne peut que s’approcher de la perfection , jamais l’égaler :)

    no one can compete with "Bob Marley" we can only approach perfection, never match:)

  • no woman no cry !!! but sometimes we wonna cry just to feel better ;)!!

  • ..jack black?

  • 2:42 its owen wilson

  • i stick dildos in my butt to songs like this!!!

  • XAVIER RUDD é foda mermão!!!!! Perfect song, perfect music...Hugs!

  • Excellent Xavier Rudd, Greetings from Peru!!

  • I agree that there can't be a better version of this song than the original ... but isn't it really nice how Xavier performs it ?? He does it with his own note ....

    Jah bless

  • happy to share the same last name..

  • x a v i e r r u d d i s t h a b e s t ! ! ! 
  • he sends shivers down my spine

  • è matteggio!

  • kurt cobain?

  • @Searcheur I was thinking that too. He has the very same expression as Kurt at the mtv unplugged show.

  • @loganbeaton but Xavier spreads happiness, doesn't blow his brains out.. :) But I do respect Kurt cobain.. :)

  • @PKJackM Kurt defiantly spreads happiness. Nevermind has sold 26 million copies. People don't buy music to feel like shit.

  • @loganbeaton agreeddd, but then again, kurt cobain generally sung about depressing stuff :) But I guess depressing stuff can make people happy in ways :)

  • damn. never heard of this guy. so you aussies finally made a living ben harper, foo fighter covering living creature to play your music?? he rocks.

  • Ill say this is better than the orig. EVERY artist brings what they have to the table, I am a HUGE marley fan (of this song, and nearly every other Ive heard), but there is a...truth in this version. it touches ME more than Bob's. So...With ALL respect Bob (and those who disagree), this version kinda breaks me down. Love it. thanks for letting a million + enjoy.  thanks...

  • 73 womans cry

  • Parece o Kurt Cobain

  • Im crying.

  • aaaaaaaa que linda interpretación mis respetos

  • WOW.............

  • Not my cup of tea, he has the musical talent but not the pasion to cover this. Got balls for trying though.

  • I prefer bluesy

  • Born and bred from my small home town.. Jan Juc, Victoria, Australia. Love it... love him!

  • 70 Dislikes. GetAWAY!

  • i dont get how the entire crowd new he was playing this song by only listening to the first note

  • 2:00 Kurt!!!!!!!

  • Lady in the crowd: "You're awesome Xavier"

    Xavier: "Haha - wait 'til you here this"

  • Excellant, excellant!

  • I find it so hard to play some Bob without making your audience say or think "Here we go again... Another fake Bob cover..."

    This guy reinvented the song and i find another feeling here that i love!!!!

    Peace and love!

  • Xavier Rudd ist der Urknall !!! Da gibt es wohl keine zwei Meinungen !!!

    Xavier Rudd is the Big Bang !!! There´s no Question about it !!!

  • STEEL STRING ACOUSTIC COVER! YES PLEASE!

  • I think Xaviers version compliments Bob's version and i love them both for different reasons!

  • This is great stuff man!I love different takes on Bob's music :)

  • Fugees version is better, but nothing tops the original

  • Was seine musik auf seiner ebene angeht ist er der Michael Jackson unter den Pop Titanen

  • alright everyone all im saying is bobs was better so back off of me!!!!!!!!

  • When was this

  • owen wilson's brother?

  • music isnt good or bad, it either reflects whats inside of us or not, therefor its real or fake, and brothers and sisters,thats real music, and thats all that matters

  • one man band ftw

  • light em up and hold em up

  • where´s he from? im sorry.. he is good...

  • @AlejoNjo99 australia

  • Awesome cover NNO WOOMAN NO CRY

  • Nothing should be compared to Bob Marley - Xavier has said it - and told how he struggled justifying singing this song because he is such a major idol and influence. They're just two guys trying to spread the message on how the world works -just sit back and bask in the song - irrospective of who's singing it ;)

  • @AussieAsMate exactly enjoy the peace

  • Is this Kurt Cobain?

  • @97AsV wtf. just because hes blonde?

  • @Mr420Tommy yeah and they are guitarist

  • @97AsV .........

  • @Mr420Tommy

    no...for a lot of reasons 

  • Whoever made this video really blew it. Great audio. But the lyrics are not matched up to his lips at all when he starts singing and playing. WTF.

  • Very talented a true musician but his voice doesnt do the song justice listen to the Legendary Bob Marley's version and marcus walkers version and you'll see the difference.

  • @Remydapanther

    To be fair, Rudd is more of a roots singer. Different type of vocals used although he does a good job at it.

  • is it just me that thinks xavier looks like owen wilson??? thumbs up if you agree.

  • @MrTyphoon09 Australian kurt cobain haha

  • this is a gifted man, bless him

  • Comment removed

  • @gregazulla man thats funny ! definately the wrong place or song for even a joke w negative tones. having said that damn that was funny!

  • @gregazulla music was not meant to be a competition

  • @gregazulla We all have our opinions.

  • @gregazulla chill

  • @gregazulla sorry man, I love Bobby, but i think Xavier made this his own - i feel almost like theyre 2 totally different songs..

  • @gregazulla I have my own opinion...

  • @gregazulla ...how...would you find....never mind

    

  • @gregazulla oh by the way, its better than the original. :D

  • @gregazulla No cover of a Bob Marley song will ever be as good as Bob Marley doing it. Much in the same way someone doing a cover of a Xavier Rudd song will never do it as good as Xavier. It's their gift to the world.

  • @gregazulla AMEN!!

  • @L0KO1 Te encontre!

    xD wn...

  • @g3or0n3 hahaha , Stalker wn xD

  • @gregazulla that's too funny!

  • @gregazulla hahaha Thats true. Im 100% australian and i love xavier, but no-body will ever trump marley. He IS peace. <3

  • @gregazulla you cant compare them breh, two different songs

  • @gregazulla nobody can do a bob marley song like bob marley but xavier did one hell of a job on this song

  • Floydfest 2011!!!!!!!

  • hmm ... ohne motivation .. einfach schlecht ..

  • @yarutonesong ignorante!!! no es gringo es australiano el pibe!!!!

  • i thought i was on the wrong vid cause he looks just like kurt cobain.

  • @whitedynomite1 EBEG#Be

  • omg ist das grausam. this is a shit version rofl 

  • @webrabe wenn du das nicht geniessen kannst hab ich mitleid mit dir ;)

  • i like the bit where he covered bob marleys song

  • goosebumps at 1:13 :D:)  his music is unexplainably beautiful :)

  • whats all that smoke doing in the room, i dont see a fog machine ;)

  • How many white-guy/wanna-be-rastafarian­/one-man-band acts does Australia have headlining their concert venues at this point? This sort of Woodstock '97-era drivel is greeted with indifference by audiences at open mic nights on campus pubs in other countries. In Australia it apparently passes for cutting edge music. Lay off the weed, people. Kudos to this guy for at least resisting dreadlocks.

  • @TonyWilson1000 he is the best singer in the world there is only a few ppl that can sing like him. you should be on your knees worshiping him he is a god

  • @MYHELLENKELLER Only someone with the auditory perception of Helen Keller could believe such a thing.

  • @TonyWilson1000 Hellen Keller has nothing to do with this. So go fuck yourself. Ps.Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaam

  • @MYHELLENKELLER witty. i understand the calibre of intellect we're dealing with here. enjoy.

  • i dont feel like he put too much soul into this song. like the slide but not enough heart.
