Hey man thanks for sharing your talents with the rest of us. I love that song and you did a pretty good job on it. Keep rocking bro because if you don't the rest of us will be missing out. Peace
@dynamite271 Heh! Thanks. It really is a great song. The first version I heard was from the "Rock Star" movie. Then I listened to the original Steelheart, which I'd argue was ahead of its time. So my "cheesy" comment came from me feeling extremely inadequate even attempting to cover this beautiful and powerful song.
hei captainahnee! can you tell me which chords do you play in the refrain. I have tuned my 12 string guitar to drop D but i have got no chance to play the refrain. Thanks for this awesome cover!
i can do amazing things at guitar that 98% of guitarist cant do, but i would give it all to be able to sing good i suck donkey ballz at singing but still get laid with a guitar solo just a bit less effective than singing to the lady lol :P great cover mate!
you can definitely sing...but how bout one bit of criticism..on the bridge you draw the "ee" from "take me from my own"...try hanging on the "a" instead. It will make a subtle but noticeable difference. good job though
Far from cheesy bro...GREAT JOB on the vocals and the geeeeeeeeeeeeeetar...right after i seen this i dropped the acoustic to d and jammed with ya!...one of my favorite "movie" tunes of all time
I am a guitar player / vocalist in a popular local band and wouldn't attempt this song without the driving guitars to mask the vocal high points. I wish you the best because I don't know anyone, except you, that would and could do that song justice accoustically
Incidentally, I much prefer your version, acoustic guitar and all, to the original. Your voice is much more interesting than the original artist's. If you had some better music, this would be killer.
I have never heard a serious song that is "cheesy," before. Good melodies are good melodies. I've heard songs that get boring with their redundant, derivative lyrics, but never anything that made me wanna bury my face in my hands, filled with shame.
Really good job. Not cheesy at all. A couple of questions for you. What is your guitar made of? Looks zebrawood or bacote to me. And is that an alternate or standard tuning for that song?
i think you should do a recording where your not playing guitar so you can concentrate on your singing. you do sound good but i know the guitar is holding you back a little.
Thanks, I appreciated your version of it. I thought it was interesting that you called it "cheesy". You did a great job and I've wondered for quite some time how it would sound acoustic. Brother, you have a damn good voice.
awesome pitch, great accents. When i first heard you talk i thought there is no way hes gonna do this right, but i have to say man, un-fucking-believable. well done man how about some more of SOMETHING lol...
an honest opinion.. i think you hit some of the notes very well vocally and some not so great... but i think very decent.. keep on playing. nice looking guitar
You did good. I would like to see you do it again when you know it a little better and are more confident about it. I think that then it would be great.
@MendingSilence The original song was recorded by the band Steelheart. For the movie "Rockstar" a fictional band called Steel Dragon is credited for the song in the movie and on the movie soundtrack. There are a few differences too in the original recording and the movie version but the cool thing is the orignal singer does the vocals for the movie version.
@captainahnee actually there is quite a ton of difference from the original and mvoie version, but yea both are awsome, the backing band in the movie is just alot of better musicians, liek zach wylde and bonham etc. Sick sick sick cover tho dude, love your vocals
@SDCDIABLO Thanks! Yeah the first version I heard of this song was actually from the movie and I thought overall it was a pretty solid rock song. Then my buddy gave me the Steelheart album and the original version is definitely different. It's kind of new age sounding, maybe experimental at the time, but it was refreshing to hear. It gave me more respect for Steelheart, which I had wrote off back in high school when I was more into rap and R&B.
