The Headstones "Tweeter & The Monkeyman" (Traveling Wilburys)

[TUCKERZONE]

One of my Fav Tracks from the Traveling Wilburys

[TheZeusgoose]

good job. your leg scares me from :40 to :58

[grateful1nate]

better cover yer shades and eyes cuz ya not so good dude

[jlc825]

well done

[RalleyWolf]

Nice cover. done really well.

[TheYadvinder]

nice headstones cover man, another one you might like is "when something stands for nothing" works well on acoustic too. cheers..

[danmanwick]

i liked it, unique version

[summerknow]

Look. I love this song. And since I couldn't find an original, I tabbed onto this.

Your voice is pretty good. However, between playing the guitar and singing you seem to get overwhelmed. The rhythm gets screwy about half the time. It makes the song feel rushed.

Have you ever considered letting someone else play the music and just singing?

[catchoftheday]

No offense, but this cover is terribly pathetic. In all fairness this dude is trying to cover a song performed by some of the best musicians who have ever lived, but that fact actually ends up working against him since his sound pales in comparison to the original. The real song is a really amazing piece of music and although this might have been made in a tribute to the piece it is actually quite embarrassing and boring. Stick to writing your own stuff.

[rcmaster1029]

@catchoftheday Have you heard the cover that he is covering?

[catchoftheday]

@rcmaster1029 yea i have heard of the cover that he's covering. its by a fucking terrible band from canada...wherever that is. covering a cover is just sad in itself

[rcmaster1029]

@catchoftheday Headstones is one of the best Canadian bands ever.

[catchoftheday]

@rcmaster1029 well I feel bad for Canada then.

[rcmaster1029]

@catchoftheday Why? It's a good band. I Mother Earth, Our Lady Peace, Moist, all awesome bands from Canada. And the rock music on the radio today in Canada is generally better than the music here in the U.S.

[raptors11111]

You are pretty good man, keep it up. And this coming from a guy who typically hates covers.

[mikedh9]

[chaosdivine69]

Shane my man! You rock dude! Forgot to add this to my fav. list a long time ago so I decided to do so now. Glad I did! Listening to you made me pick up my rig and jam along with you...I wish you lived closer to Calgary dude, we'd jam a lot I can tell :) Keep in touch eh?

[ripper778]

Hey buddy glad to hear you liked this.

Happy Holidays!!

[cheeckotanabe]

As a huge Headstones fan, I got to say kickass job, dude! I can even hear a little Hugh Dillon in your voice on words like 'cash'. As a novice, with only 3 songs in the bank so far, wondering if you could tell me exactly how to finger that bar chord. I've been avoiding bars up to this point, but really close to nailing you rendition of this song.

[ripper778]

Thanks, it's great to meet another Headstones fan.

[ripper778]

Thanks. Glad to see another headstones fan. I'll add that to my request list. I've covered cubically contained, unsound and this one so far. But you can't have too many headstones covers.

[ripper778]

True but this isn't a cover of the original version.

Thx for your comment

[AndyinAjax]

[angus1019]

Hey man the chords in the song are

Am, G, F, Am- Verse

Am, Em- Chorus.... just if you didnt know, take care man!

ps. good job, sounds like dylan haha

[angus1019]

and sorry.. for the chorus.. play D then the Am, when he says never saw them when there standing...

[ripper778]

This is a cover of The Headstones version. Have a listen to it sometime. Thanks for the comment.

[AndyinAjax]

i appreciate your playing...but this is terrible....listen to the song again.

[ripper778]

Whether you liked my cover or not I still appreciate the fact that you took the time to listen & comment.

[JonathonPybus]

im played along with this vid and i was wondering if you had it tuned diff,

[ripper778]

Yes it is tuned different. I (my band) tune down a 1/2 step because many of the songs we do are in E#

[DudeDiggler01]

I've played it in both standard and 1/2 step tuning, and they both sound the same man.... it's only the guitarist that recognizes the difference. ;) Both sound awesome!

[DudeDiggler01]

Nah, he was tuned in standard, it's just that the album version has some cool fills in it. You gotta LISTEN! :)

[DudeDiggler01]

I been wanting to do a cover of this song, but now I think you'll put me to shame lol... awesome job! \m/

[ripper778]

Thank-you! Nah...go ahead & do it man, we need more Headstones covers on here.

[DudeDiggler01]

hahah! Well ok... I'll try to add some fills in the song, so I can at least compete lol \m/

[FasterthanSpeed414]
