Rise Against - Like the Angel (acoustic cover)

[Realrpg]

You really got your breathing down to be able to sing the backup vocal part right after the lead singer verse. Nice :D

[ToxicSquirrel123]

koool what language u naturally speak?

[rancid1987]

@ToxicSquirrel123: thanks...well I speak Romanian! :D

[SuperHippyHater]

nice

[rancid1987]

@SuperHippyHater: thank you very much :D

[ajbaker7]

right on bro good attempt

[rancid1987]

@ajbaker7: thank you! :D

[KyleSalmonsOnlyFan]

the voice and accent are really good for the song, the only criticism i have (and i notice this for most covers by people with noticeable accents) is you rush the vocals a bit. but otherwise its a great cover

[rancid1987]

@KyleSalmonsOnlyFan: thank you very much...yea, I agree...not that I rush de vocals, but I rush the tempo of the song...maybe because I love punk-rock too much :D

[arturo324]

aa huevoo q bien la hiciste

[PastaMunkey]

wow your romanian accent is really awesome for this acoustic cover :D

good job man hope to see more covers

your voice is perfect for acoustic covers

[rancid1987]

@PastaMunkey: thanks a lot for the kind words...usually people have something against this type of accent and very few think that it is cool...cheers for that :D

[PastaMunkey]

@rancid1987 why would they have smth against the accent? =/

i dunno it sounds very ... melodic? i think its great for these sort of songs. your really good :)

[rancid1987]

@PastaMunkey: well, there are lots of people that don't see anything beyond the standard American accent, but I'm really glad you're not of those...thanks :D

[PastaMunkey]

@rancid1987 i dunno it sounds different. i think your voice is pretty perfect for this song in its acoustic version. :D

fuck the haters.

[goshlike76]

This never gets old! Perfect cover!

[rancid1987]

@goshlike76: thank you very much...it's true, this amazing song will never get old!!!

[rancid1987]

@bulletinamerica: thanks a lot...unfortunately I don't have a video camera and that is why I recorded this cover with a microphone connected to my PC...cheers

[bulletinamerica]

@rancid1987 LOL.....no video camera but with pc???.......little wierd....hAUSHAuhsuaHSUAhsuaHS­UAhsu

[rancid1987]

@bulletinamerica: no that's not weird...I could not live without my PC, but I can easily live without a video camera...and I have a video camera on my phone, but the quality sucks and therefore I prefer not to use it...

[bulletinamerica]

@rancid1987 hummmm........it's true better post a video with jus an image that post a video with low quality

[LGVPBrigada]

beautiful

5*

[rancid1987]

[rancid1987]

@BNGWolf: thank you very much ;)

[rancid1987]

@KibaXme00: thanks a lot man...from time to time I perform acoustically in the town where I live...it is quite hard to become famous, by playing just covers...you have to come with your own songs...and that's I'm trying to do now....thanks again and cheers ;)

[maxwel2543]

All the covers sound great in this song why doesent Tim try it T_T

[19notforeverybody92]

great cover. heard it in the first seconds..:D

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot dude ;)

[PsychoticHearted]

Ahh another question, sorry if I'm pissing you off with all my questions, I just have a lot to learn. As you can easily see on my channel :(

Have you got a tab for this song in acoustic?

[MrSad666]

Dam that´s great !! like it more then the original

:-) can you do everchanging ??

Keep on rockin

[rancid1987]

thank you very much...I didn't try everchanging yet, maybe I'll do it...cheers ;)

[goshlike76]

[rancid1987]

he he...thanks a lot...perfect comment ;)

[goshlike76]

well I don't have to say that u know perfect guitar u have perfect voice............wow the whole song is perfect and I love hearing it many times because it's PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a perfect day when I hear this perfect song!

[Rockaholicize]

just awsome i will cover it tomorrow too :) i love that song :D i hope it will be just half as good then yours

[rancid1987]

@Rockaholicize: thanks man...it's a great song indeed, don't hesitate to make a cover ;)....good luck

[PsychoticHearted]

One quick question, if you're willing to give another musician some advice. How do you handle playing guitar and singing at the same time? I'm trying to do an Anywhere but Here acoustic cover but I get confused between playing the guitar and singing and screw up.

[rancid1987]

@PsychoticHearted: The best thing to do is to start with some easy songs and simple chords...as a piece of advice I'd would say that the easiest strumming you should begin with is: down, down, up, up, down, up....start practicing this on your guitar and when you fell that you master it quite well, you may start singing in the same time...then, in time you may go further to more difficult songs...

[PsychoticHearted]

Thanks a lot man. I'll work on that.

[ThexPumpkinxPie]

aww I love it. I think I'll put in on my ipod. ^-^

[rancid1987]

@ThexPumpkinxPie: he he...thank you...you made me blush with this comment :">

[tommmi14]

bad!! The Original is much better!!!

[rancid1987]

@tommmi14: Man, do you know what a cover means??? It means my own version, not the original...and by the way...I'd like to see you playing Rise Against and see the result...but thanks anyway for listening

[PsychoticHearted]

As a huge Rise Against fan, I am fuckin' impressed. Keep it up dude, you've got a lot of potential.

[rancid1987]

@PsychoticHearted: Thanks a lot man...your words mean a lot to me and help me go further...good luck ;)

[Brianheenan]

This is Great

[rancid1987]

@Brianheenan Thanks a lot man...

[ventje31]

Tim McIlrath would be proud.. :D

[rancid1987]

Thanks a lot...if Tim were proud of this, I would definitely be prouder :D

[MrSad666]

dam your version of this song is soooo great

your voice is awesome keep on rocking !!!

5 stars and please forgive me my bad english :-)

[rancid1987]

@MrSad666: Thank you very much....I'm really happy that you enjoyed it...and thanks for the rating, as well...

cheers...

[123firelord7]

5\5 this is great

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot dude ;)

[rancid1987]

thank you...well yea, it would have been great an official acoustic version of this wonderful song...maybe in the future...

[ACwithoutDC]

i like  great timing

that perfectgorverment dude just does it so well

i like his better... but PLEASE

put up some more :)

props agians

[rancid1987]

well, indeed, maybe his version is better...but it depends on the individual's personal tastes an feelings at a given time which is better or not...personally I prefer dynamic music (punk-rock, ska etc) and therefore I decided to make this cover louder, even though acoustic...

thanks a lot for listening and for your comment...

cheers dude

[PucklesM]

i disagree. his doesnt have energy. he was too scared to go "all out" like this one

[ACwithoutDC]

it was my opinion yours is yours

[rancid1987]

thank you very for your positive comment...I'm really happy that you liked the cover...cheers

[kureigu9]

[skydustroxeanne]

well.. I know him too.. how should we share the touching part? :P

[ithinkschoolsucks]

Nice cover!! Love the accent by the way. you should do like a ska cover of this idk but i think it would sound cool. your voice kinda reminds me of El Hefe from nofx lol hope you dont take this wrong

[rancid1987]

well, I'm quite happy if my voice reminds you of El Hefe because I really love NoFx...thanks for listening and for your comment...cheers

[rancid1987]

thank you very much...I'm glad that you loved it ;)...cheers

[Otherien]

Wow, you sound like you have an accent, and I'm amazed, I haven't heard any good covers by foreigners (no offense to them though, I'm sure its difficult) but yours is great!

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot...I appreciate the positive criticism and the fact that you liked my accent...and you're right: it's definitely not easy to play this song...cheers

[vidmakerkid]

sweet

[rancid1987]

hey, thank you very much :D

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot dude :D

[gokkie44]

[rancid1987]

I'll take it as a compliment...

[PreludetoExtinction]

Your voice is very, VERY different to Tim's.

But this cover is brilliant.

Good job man. =] Love this.

[rancid1987]

yep, you're right...my voice is totally different to Tim's and as I said previously his voice is like 1 in a million, while mine is not that rare...and the cover that I made is in a different key from the original...thanks a lot for your appreciation and for listening...cheers

[Randominc2]

Very nice man Im very glad you didnt mess up the song cuz this is one of my favorites...Very good job! Check out my Rise Against videos

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot dude...it is one of my favorites as well...cheers ;)

[Ford90]

AMAZING!!!

[rancid1987]

thanks man, I'm really glad that you liked it...

[TheJoker611]

very nice

[khalyd123]

you voices raw-ness complimented the song really nicely.

[rancid1987]

thank you...it's quite a difficult song to play and I'm happy that you liked it...

[dumdeldidum]

wow. I love your voice!

[rancid1987]

oh, thank you very much :D

[frombhind]

dude, you should sing michael jacksons song beat it while playing the guitar! :o would be so awesome

[rancid1987]

it's a great song, but I've never tried to play any of Michael Jackson's songs on guitar...but maybe one day I'll do it :D

[frombhind]

love it man, 5/5

[rancid1987]

thank you very much man....I'm glad...

[rancid1987]

thanks for listening :D

[RVIGZ]

Dude this is kick ass!!! GREAT JOB 5*

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot man!! I'm really glad that you liked it...cheers :D

[rancid1987]

yep...it is a bit fast, because I generally like dynamic music and maybe that influenced me....thanks for your comment :D

[rancid1987]

am I a beaner??? well, if you think so, there's nothing left to say....still thanks for listening...

[ShiningFingerStudios]

a little bit to fast but great job, try to put up a bit more passion and some breaks into the singing and it´s perfect :)

[rancid1987]

thanks for listening and thanks for the pieces of advice...cheers :D

[KoooRnnn]

thats not rise against

[rancid1987]

what do you mean?

[diarreality]

Dude, im a very picky guy with covers, and thisis one of the best ive heard. You should be very proud. Keep it up!

[rancid1987]

honestly, you made me very happy because I don't have such a good opinion about my musical skills...thank you very much ;)

[skichaqueta]

ummmm..... i love you "D

you know what would make me like you even more... if you did a acoustic cover of rumors of my demise, i can't find it acoustic anywhere.

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot...I have to download the song first of all, because I don't have it, and then see if I can play it...cheers :D

[skichaqueta]

this brings me joy. :D

makes me want to hug you.

[rancid1987]

thank you very much...well, you're right, it is a new dimension, but still incomparable to the original...Tim's voice is extremely good and powerful...cheers :D

[belleau55]

excellent job, and i really enjoy hearing the way you did it. keep up the good work

[rancid1987]

thank you so much...I'm really glad that you liked it...cheers

[moodifi]

Nice song but : try to put more feeling in your refrain voice

[rancid1987]

thanks...well, for the moment that's all that I can, maybe in the future there will be a progress...cheers :D

[Nightmare1324]

You've inspired me with your bravery I might just Put up a Nightmare Cover of this song, Your accent is signature, Good job!

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot...I look forward to hearing your version :D...good luck...cheers

[Kronin0]

I like the upbeat-ness you put in this song =D

[rancid1987]

thank you...cheers

[vickenpunk]

hey nice version!!!!!!

check out mine! is not that good but i still like mine :P ahaha

nice work ;)

[rancid1987]

thanks dude ;)

[fenrirfang77]

I am the singer of my band, This is my favorite song, I think its the best song we covered, you my freind are VERY VERY VERY Good at guitar! and your voice gos perfectly with your guitar. I love this cover and great job doing your own back up vocals:]

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot dude...cheers ;)

[RiseAgainstMark]

Holy butt fuck

Best cover of any of the people that have attempted a cover of rise against.

I like your accent and your own style of singing the song.

Fucking awesome man

[rancid1987]

he he...thanks for your appreciation...when I recorded this cover at home, I never thought that someone will like it...maybe, I was wrong...cheers :D

[Zaimux]

Wow man not going to even lie you did a great job with this song. Even the part with the back up singer you got in there well because I know they start/end at the same time. I'm pretty sure even Tim would be impressed. :D

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot...I would be extremely happy if Tim listened to this cover and even if he didn't like it...it would be an honor for me just to know that he listened to my version of his song...thanks again...cheers

[dissonantDance]

I agree with Deviousopium, your voice is very nice and original. Well done :)

[rancid1987]

thank you very much for your appreciation ;)

[Deviousopium]

I appreciate the fact that you don't sound like a carbon copy of Tim

I love your style and voice =] a great cover

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot...intelligent comment; I think that even the attempt of sounding like Tim it's stupid and worthless because he is way too good...of course that I wish I had a voice such as his, but I know my limits and I don't want to make replicas of his songs...it would be stupid...thanks again for your comment and appreciation...cheers!!!

[Deviousopium]

Yeah, I would kill to have Tim's voice haha and the point of a cover is to do a song in your own style, which you obviously accomplished very well. Have you ever seen Rise Against live?

[rancid1987]

nope, I haven't...but as far as I heard from the others and the vids that I saw they're more than great...what about you?

[Deviousopium]

Yeah, I saw them in Portland, Oregon a few weeks ago; they were better than I ever thought possible. Tim and Zach really got involved with the crowd, and you could tell that they were having a hell of a time. I see people often complain that the band dosen't seem as good live as they should, but I must have been lucky, because every note and lyric was hit with perfection. I seriously think that must have been one of their best shows ever. Defiantly see them at the next possible opportunity =D

[jeffrey44113]

realy good i mean it realy this song means a lot to me and you made a realy good cover thank you ;)

peace from HOLLAND !!!!!

[rancid1987]

thank you very much for appreciating my cover...cheers from Romania!!!

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot, dude...cheers

[BellaBooth999]

love it !!X3X3X3!!! one of the best covers ive heard

[rancid1987]

thanks a lot...I'm glad that you liked it ;)

[woodseye2007]

i usually hate covers from other people but this is the best cover i have ever heard thanks for posting this i like this one more than the live version of this song

[rancid1987]

thank you very much...your comment offers me satisfaction for what I've done here...thanks again...

[AwesomeBobz]

Wicked. Great job man.

[rancid1987]

thank you very much ;)

[malteduden]

don't get more precise than that

[rancid1987]

what are you referring to?

[malteduden]

that it was very alternative

but i still liked it lot ! :D
