Run Baby Run (Sheryl Crow) Cover By Gareth Rhodes/axl77

[augib]

i'd like you to use less mic and more "real" recording.... its too perfectly recorded for your voice. You should have drank whiskey then recorded it on tape...

[axl77]

@augib Well, i sang it live and it came out like it did which must just mean that you don't dig how my voice sounds, which is fair enough. 

[augib]

@axl77 ; yeah man, i love the vocal but i guess id just like to hear this in a bar or something... no offence intended... your awesome!

[axl77]

@augib Hey, that's cool, didn't make me feel very awesome. though. To be honest, im going through a rough patch musically, have a lot of self doubt and anxiety about my ability and haven't picked a guitar up for over 6 weeks. I guess the timing of your comment was just unfortunate for me.

[GeoffBrown136]

About the best voice I have ever heard in a generation...you deserve to we a world class music entertainer and everyone should know and hear you...all the best as you venture forth. Great guitar playing also! - Geoff :)

[s2Meels2]

Vc esta cantando sentado numa privada a motor ? Parece q vc esta com dor de barriga !

[cuecas80lol]

@s2Meels2 dor de barriga deves ter ficado tu, depois de ouvires uma voz tão genial :)

[axl77]

@s2Meels2 I'm sorry i don't speak your language, i hope what you said was positive, can anyone translate?

[12012wxm]

@axl77 well it wasn't positive, that's offensive, dont care about this kind of people, i guess you are amazing singing Gareth, keep doing your nice work!!

[axl77]

@12012wxm Oh really? That's too bad, you'd think if someone was going to go to effort of being rude and offrensive , they'd at least make the effort to try and insult me in my own language. Although im disappointed, it seems they have had something of a fail.

[FEVERPITCHROCKNROLL]

@axl77 That guy wrote something like "It sounds like you suffer from stomach pain". But I disagree. It has a lot of feeling. It´s better than Crow´s horrible voice. I dig it.

[axl77]

@FEVERPITCHROCKNROLL Stomach pain? Im pretty sure that guy doesn't make sense in his own language let alone English. Ah well, one door closes and all...... Thank you my friend, i wouldn't call Sheryls voice horrible though, i like her. I wish she was still rocky and bluesy like her earlier stuff though. It's all gone a bit folky and bland for my taste recently.

[FEVERPITCHROCKNROLL]

@axl77 That´s what the Google translator told me. About the stomach pain, not Crow´s voice. But it´s a matter of taste. If you like her voice it´s ok with me. As long as you keep those cool covers coming...

[PeterLisboa66]

Very good my friend. Cheers!!!

[axl77]

@PeterLisboa66 Peter, great to hear from you :) It's always a real boost to me to get a comment from you as i know you have great musical ability of your own, respect,. Gareth :D

[SnyderRon]

Gareth. You are damned good.

[MattyRds95]

sorry i didn't see this vid earlier..Amazing vocal bro, you've got an awesome range :)

[axl77]

@MattyRds95 Bruski :) Great to hear from you always, by the time we start doing our gigs, we are going to have a real wealth of songs with which to choose from for our setlists. Can't wait to hook up again, see you soon :D

[yjh4385]

Can't stop listening this song ,gareth !! haha

I already commented on this vid but here I am ,again , singing & playing my dusty acoustic guitar with this vid .

I just love this acoutic feelings !! :)

[axl77]

@yjh4385 Thank you my friend :) I hope you are enjoying playing along, thank you for being such a great supporter of what i'm doing on YouTube, Sheryl Crow was a huge influence on me in the 90's, i think she sounds at her best in a live setting.

[mymisscullen]

Fabulous....challenging song indeed, same key as original...brilliant xx

[axl77]

@mymisscullen Thanks Spach, looking forward to seeing the boys this coming Friday, have they been talking about the space adventure game much? I think they love it don't they?

[solounsegundo]

Felicidades, buen cover..

[axl77]

@solounsegundo Thank you VERY much :) Really glad to hear that you liked it.

[neko31294]

oh man !!

another great cover and your voice is amazing

congratulations

[axl77]

@neko31294 Thank you my friend, it's good to be playing the guitar and singing on YouTube again, getting warmed up to do some more as the week progresses.

[wattch]

Holly son of a B#%#$ that was excellent!!!

Like a young Skid rows Sebastian Bach, in his prime you make what you sing shine!

[axl77]

@wattch Thank you :) Wow, that's a heck of a comparison, that guy is still a huge legend when it comes to belting out great vocals. I'm glad you liked my version of this song. I'm going to get down to doing some more over the next few days :)

[wattch]

@axl77 I just listened to it again and still feel the same way, you nailed it, and people need to see it!

[00rgiles]

Another great cover mate, takes some range to sing that!

Congrats bud!

[axl77]

@00rgiles Thanks for noticing that, i made the decision to try and sing the song in the same key as Sheryl Crow and was a little apprehensive at first but after a bit of warming up and listening to her singing it live, i realised i could do something with it in it's original key. Ive always loved the song and i'm very happy to see that people seem to like my version. :)

[MinorNight]

good stuff. im listening to the chorus over and over ;)

[axl77]

@MinorNight Thank you, i love the way Sheryl plays this live, she really dirties it up with a lot of ad libbed vocals and muddy guitars. Her rock influence used to shine through a lot more in the 90's, she's gone a bit too folk for my taste these days.

[saccoinspalla]

You sing really well! ;) did you get singing lessons?

[axl77]

@saccoinspalla Thank you very much, no everything that i have learned has been discovered through listening to my favourite singers and trying to learn from them. Jon Bon Jovi, Axl Rose, Sheryl Crow, im kind of a mix of all three :)

[Sheepstar15]

Great cover of a great song. Well done! :)

[axl77]

@Sheepstar15 Thank you so much, glad to hear from someone else who rates the song, Sheryl Crow is a big influence on me, i listened to her a lot in the mid 90's.

[Sheepstar15]

@axl77 I really rate her early stuff, too. I still listen to it a lot. She was the reason I learned to play the guitar. Sheryl rocks :)

[sambora76]

old song but you sing with much talent , thx man

[wkdsoul]

great cover ,gaz. :)

[MrAviiC]

Oh man, ive gotta say u have become just so extremly good!

[axl77]

@MrAviiC That's a really kind thing to say, thank you very much!! :)

[yjh4385]

great cover ! you are finally back !! haha

how have you been ?!

[axl77]

@yjh4385 Good thank you , ive been doing lots of bits n pieces like home decorating, a few gigs here and there and other random stuff. I have all this week free to experiment and do some new YouTube covers, which i plan to make the most of :)

[GuitarAriaFreak1010]

awesome!

[axl77]

@GuitarAriaFreak1010 Thank you :)) I can't believe this song is an oldie now, where does the time go?

[GuitarAriaFreak1010]

@axl77 time flies mate ;)
