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!
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!!
why are there so many fake people, for it or not. if you have a complaint your fake. if you must say:this is unfair... he is really good but you just can't compete with Bob Marley

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.
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
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.
Just because they have the same lyrics and same basic musical structure, it doesn't mean they are the same. Its really difficult to compare the two songs guys. The fact is they both reflect two sides of the same awesomeness.
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
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 ....
@loganbeaton agreeddd, but then again, kurt cobain generally sung about depressing stuff :) But I guess depressing stuff can make people happy in ways :)
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...
Hey All you Lovely People!!! <3 I just posted two new songs called 'The Travel Song' and 'SUNRISE' :) Feel free to check em out and let me know what you think! Hope you like them:) p.s. my guitar playing is still a little rough but the heart's still there;)
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
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 ;)
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.
@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.
jajaj, bueno, autraliano, gringo, lo que sea, el punto es que esta echando a perder rolas del gran maestro... pendejete este, ademas... todas las rolas de este wey estan bien culeras.. pero, gracias por la coregirme sobre la nacionalidad, jamas me hubiera molestado por buscar en google su procedencia, pinche artistilla equis.
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
