That was a hell of a cover to one of my favorite Cars songs of all time, and one i like to nail the vocals to myself. BTW id love to see another cover to one of his other songs. RIP Ben Orr
WOW!Matt Shelly-your time is coming soon.you are to good not to make it big time!
from one musician to another i am speachless.i have watched your candy o video tribute to ben orr dozens of times-cant get enough of it!nice to see this much talent so close to my home[lehigh valley].when will you be playing in the LV?Thank you matt for sharing your talent with us.i will be buying some of your music.
My regards. excellent tribute. Saw the cars live in 1984, Ben would be proud. the cars are the best group ever. "MTV's Private affair with the cars."Awesome!!!!!!!!
excellent video and guitar work, made me appreciate the Cars in a whole new way. What do the lyrics mean though? Never really followed them before. . .
look i love the cars as much as the next guy and welcome a tribute video for mr ben orr, however, how about next time without your mustache not showing up every 30 seconds! RIP Ben and less this dudes facial hair.
superb work....tight, no loose ends. great editing....perfect vocals....a perfect compliment to the original...just as good as the original....maybe better actually...great work....
this is great. i wish music for young people was as inventive and exciting as late seventies and eighties... biased of course. i love the cars and rip benjamin orr - cars were totally underrated and thoroughly unique. one of the best bands the US had, that and cheap trick in their prime
yo mat i forgot 2 say the video is awsome work,is this you work?Listen what I ment by being a ham is your a little to much like look at me..the music and voice and video is very good im watching it again and instead OF THE DRAMATICS ,FEEL THE FUSTRATION INSTEAD..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Ben was loved by those of us who came behind him in the Boston music scene. He was one of the very few who wanted to help. He is still my example of how to treat fellow musicians!
Awesome....how many thousands of times have I listened to this song...on 8-track no less!!!! One of the 1st 8 tracks I ever bought!.....Very nice cover of this tune!!!
Im sure Benny would be happy! with the tribute it was great, I actually knew him many years ago an met him at THE CHANNEL in Boston years ago and kept the friendship until he pased RIP and peace -Paul
Great remake of the original song,the different layers of sound are superb!,need more pics in the vid like the green eyed girl and the candy lips though.
Candy-O has been one of my favorite Cars songs since I first heard it back in '79 and I have to say that this is a good remake of it. Nice work. Great Tribute.
fantastically executed! brilliant... just close enough to the original... really great sensibility there... a slight nietzsche resemblance there at points too!
Great! Love that song,,,,Check out the MYSPACE page for Benjamin Orr and Yahoo Photo dedication Pages with over 600 some rare and never before seen photos!
