Glenn Tipton

[shinnescintillio]

You had me at the discription of the video. =)

[emzyk]

Great job, vocals work to. Good job.

[bigblack416]

can anybody post the chords for me?

[pallerdog]

This would be wAAAAAy better if he wasn't the naked cowboy. But, heh...whatever ticks your tock.

[Goonern]

Hey man! Great cover! Did you have the tabs for this one?

Am trying to get hold of the solo but it aint easy=)

[madaleckforfunka]

Wow, that's actually a very decent cover.

[BicycleTragedy]

No he doesn't. I think this is a great goddamned cover.

[pooplifez]

u suck

[BicycleTragedy]

It's been very commonly established that most serial killers have some kind of personal attachment to the victims of their early crimes.

It's really too bad Kozelk turned into a morbidly depressed Neil Young; this song is one of his few late-period offerings that maintain that incredible combination of morbidity and melody that he established so fluently on the early RHP records.

Having said THAT, he is still a remarkable songwriter and a hell of a singer.

@BicycleTragedy

come on, the metaphor is so obvious it's hardly a metaphor. did you read the lyrics?

[BicycleTragedy]

There's no metaphor. It's a modern folk song, and -like many American folk songs- has to do with the willful taking of human life.

The song is sung from the point of view of a serial killer. Hence the "I buried my first victim" line. That is not a metaphorical line, guys. Stop digging so deep.

The trick here is that Kozelek spends the first two verses humanizing the guy, then he throws you for the loop.

[LoneHighway]

Playing music is not about duplicating someone else's performance. I have listened to the original a hundred times or more and this guy is doing a fantastic cover. For you guys to argue it's not right is just freaking lame.

[bendm2003]

i like the sound of your guitar mate.  Anyone know what the "buried my first victim..." all about?

[2ClimbisGoode]

no i really don't. a while back someone said the song was really about drug addiction and i made it too sing songy... i think i'll look it up on the internet machine.

[2ClimbisGoode]

Just found this, makes it feel a bit more poetic and less freaky:

the "I buried my first victim" part is a metaphore. the sub meaning for it is that his relationship with a girl, who was his first love, fell apart. after the relationship ended he ran into some old love letters and he came to the realisation of the love that he lost and missed. this is seen in the next section of the song whith him missing her voice calling to him and that his dreams still haunt him for the loss of love

[PreciousParadigm]

the first time the narrator broke someone's heart, but expressed as a metaphor comparing the narrator to a serial killer

[gunpowderandsky]

hot, shirtless guy performing an awesome cover of "glenn tipton" FTW! you are my hero for today. cheers!

[reikojeschke]

weniger Gitarre, mehr für's Auge! ;)

[jimmy2sticks]

dude, i'm not hating, but...the chords you are playing are not even close to what Koz is playing. i think the song's in a very /non-standard tuning. and capo'd.

it's not a horrible cover, but i'd listen to the recording again.

peace, brah

[Duppetiduu]

Actually, it's in drop d. Capo on the third fret.

I haven't seen anyone nail how he plays it with the bass progression though. What 2climbis is playing isn't right at all, we agree on that.

[BossHoss686]

put a shirt on cowboy

[CodySG29]

This is really well done but I have a hard time getting into it.. maybe its cuz the song is about his wasted years to a drug addiction and this versions pretty upbeat. but hey, ya made it your own and did it well.

[daylightfolds]

i wanna see yer chords tho...all in all, a great job!

[sw0mgt]

I love this video.  The poster non-nonchalantly picks up the guitar one day after going to the pool, even failing to put a shirt on. Then he plays a really awesome video of Glenn Tipton and is a semi-YouTube celebrity. Pretty sweet story. YouTube makes dreams come true.

[botchlaptw]

I love this. Great job. Do you do any other Mark Kozelek/Sun Kil Moon songs? I'd love to hear.

[sedantez24]

Great cover - well done!

[bet4thnu]

dude i want the tab for this hook me up

[fateupagainstyourwil]

im jealous

[topgon]

Wow

[channelscorpionnews9]

I usually think the covers on here are pretty weak. You did an awesome job though, man. Awesome

[Dihnekis]

Excellent cover. How long have you been playing guitar?

[prolixian]

Fantastic performance. Great talent!

[downpeninsula]

Put a shirt on.

[plkmann]

Very nicely done. I'd love to see a tab of this as well, if you don't mind.

[gbkrause]

anyway i could get some tab/chords for this song, i would like to put in a meager attempt at it.

[substatique]

id rather see more of your fretting hand...it interests me more than your hot bod. but its an excellent performance.

[2ClimbisGoode]

alright alright:) In my defense though, I was simply testing the camera with this take and it ended up being a good cut... I do have this tabbed out if you are interested.

[duckman32001]

where can I get the chords/tabs for this song?

[duckman32001]

Thank you so much man!!

[monkeypoks]

Could I get the chords/tab for this as well?

[lillstark]

Good job dude, can you send me those tabs too? Thanx!

[itsjusthateasy]

whats wrong, whats right?

[salame2]

PUTO

[odypoly]

Excellent job on a phenomenal song. Keep your shirt off.

[strapped6]

[cruiser277777]

[isubrett1161]

Good job! Put your shirt on

[jakeismyhero]

This is excellent. I'm a huge fan of Mark Koselek and have been for about 15 years. I spent the drunkest night of my life with him and Anthony Koutsous of RHP...embarassed the sh*t out of myself too. You've got a great voice.

[masterbaker1]

good version mate, its a great song so it would easy to fuck it up! do you know carry me ohio?

[pantsthemusical]

[BattyBob78]

Well done, man.

[spenpee]

[wadest]

such a relief to look down at the comments and not seem a reel of nastiness!! well sang, and don't bother putting the shirt back on...harharhar.

[Micahb2]

That was brilliant. Good on you.

[manaev]

I dig RHP, Sun Kil Moon and Kozelek deeply and I must say you did a great cover of that magnificent song! Thank you!

[mattcote]

Excellent cover, good guitar work, very attuned to the lyrical content and emotion of it all.

[davowens2]

[worley2]

[splf]

Beautiful singing, nice voice! Have you got more songs to share?  Thanks!

[lichto99]

very nice! thank you.

[theliquidshadow]

Excellent! I like your voice and the interpretation is accurate. I love Sun Kil Moon and that's one of my favourite songs. Would love to hear you do more Kozelek. How about Gentle Moon? Keep up the good work.

[guppster901]

it's by Sun Kil Moon, the lead singer is Mark Kozoleck (spelling?), i would also check out red house painters it has the same lead singer

[stereotonic]

good stuff :)
