Chris LeDoux - Life Is A Highway

[clodge631992]

he sings it best forget rascal flatts



[doublea1620]

Real cowboy. Real Copenhagen ring in his jeans. Real music. Real version of this song.

[Black101Jack101]

I'm getting the impression that some people feel that they're somehow superior to others because of their personal preferences in different versions of "Life is a Highway". Nahh, that would just be stupid wouldn't it.

[outdoorsman767]

fuck the rascall flatss version cars should of used this

[TripleSHerefords]

the best version of this son is by chris ledoux

[countryobsessed]

Chris is great with this song, Tom Cochrane is great, and Rascal Flatts desecrated it!

[supermanlypunch]

The way he starts and stops like that it sounds like English is maybe his 4th language.

[BocNZ]

Sorry to say it, but Tom Cochrane actually wrote and performed the original. Either way, no one can beat good old LeDoux-Legend. If you beg to differ just look up "Life is a Highway".

[RODEONan]

This is my youngest sons absolute most favorite song ever! He is a HUGE Chris LeDoux fan! Had the CD/DVD and after he wore out the CD, we had to watch the DVD over and over and over and...well you get the idea ;o) I have this on my phone and play it at my sons grave. We played this at his funeral, along with other Chris LeDoux songs from the DVD, during a slide-show of Casey and then had 'Bang a Drum' w/Chirs and Jon Bon Jovi played during Casey's service.

[Cravacor]

Wow, over-produced Nassville Rubbish!

Rock on Tom COchrane!

[jeremiah0bobbiejo]

My favorite version. Chris Ledoux is way better than the Rascal FAGS!!!

[DiRtYJew214]

@jeremiah0bobbiejo FUCKIN A RIGHT buddy. fuck those rip off fags. they fuckin covered it and fucked it up. the song is supposed to have additude. when rascal flatts covered it he sounded like he was just recovering from a brutal ass raping and still had a lil bitch to him fuck rascal flatts.

[razor12331]

@jeremiah0bobbiejo no rascal flatts did good but no one can sing this original song better then Chris LeDoux

[TsugaruClan]

@razor12331 How much are you paid to play PR man for LeDoux?

[JeckellHyde255]

Nice effort Chris, but the original is still better.

[razor12331]

@JeckellHyde255 this is the original version Chris LeDoux sang this song then other people started doing remakes of it

[thndrbkt]

@razor12331 Nope: "Life Is a Highway" is a song written by Tom Cochrane, from his 1991 album Mad Mad World. The song was Cochrane's most famous song, as it was a number one hit in his native Canada. The song also peaked at number six on the Billboard charts in the United States in 1992. The song has been famously covered by Rascal Flatts for the Cars soundtrack, as well as by Chris LeDoux and Jerry Jeff Walker."

Good ole wikipedia...

[LunaLacey24]

Such an upbeat song - never fails to put me in a good mood! Every version of it has something to offer! :-)

[YourBlackOpsGuy]

R.I.P. Dude. My second favourite version for this song.

[broarnold1]

Why can't these people communicate without foul language? Turn a great song without cussing into a mess! Go to first grade and learn vocabulary! Great song Chris LeDoux!

[SUPERMATTMAN2012]

Chris LeDoux was a dear friend and he will always be held higher than all others in my mind, when i see him on the other side of those pearly gates me and him will crack open a cold one and sit back and swap rodeo stories just like the good old times... we miss you R.I.P

[rrebelyellerr1]

rascal flatts music sucks i hate it they ruined this song i dont even know why they play them on country stations about like lady antebellum and the band perry ect

[crazzynascarfan]

This is so much better than the Rascal Flats version.

[ponyboy314]

Now here is someone who died too fucking young.

[lginest]

I started collecting Chris Ledoux music when I was in high school in 1980. Can't believe it took everyone else so long to discover the singing cowboy.

[dasaintsman5121]

@lginest I agree I picked up my first on in 1984 .

[breezy9127]

SMH - This is just horrible!

[mypurpleface]

EPIC, there's no other word for this!

[NYredneck17]

so much better than rascal flats. only if chris wouldnt have died

[maddysman21]

chris ledoux is the best i wish i could just like him

[palaminofancy]

RIP Chris

Miss you.

[chapdog79]

Chris was an awesome singer. I remeber listening to his tapes back in high school. To bad he passed away. I just turned my 20 year old friends kid onto him as well. Chris was a real time cowboy.

[crossbowpanhead]

best song ever, and by the way, where's the love butten?

[xShadowWolf777]

You say Lady Gaga, I say alright

You say Nickelback, I say pretty good

You Say Eminem, I say okay

You say Country/Pop/Rap/, I say Thats fine

To many people are comparing artists, we all have our taste in music.

[animwoman]

@xShadowWolf777 you're right :)

[Motarmstrong]

its good but in a lower key - nothing wrong with that though

[7haftor7]

the original is way better this fucking sucks! tom chocrain is way better

[crossbowpanhead]

@7haftor7 , you are so wrong, and you have no idea what music is.

[XboxReLoaDNation]

@7haftor7 no this is better tom chocrain blos and so does Rascal Fags

[maddysman21]

@XboxReLoaDNation amen to that partner

[FallingDagger]

I'm loving the vintage camera effects . Legend

[IonicTorture]

it's a terrible shame he died, he was a good artist, r.i.p Chris

[maddysman21]

this is the best life is a highway rascal flatts doesnt deserve to have even a remake of such a great song

[rodeorockfan28]

Chris LeDoux chose an area, that I know quite well for a lot of the footage. Growing up in L.A. it's an honor that a legend chose my hometown to film his video. I like Tom's original version and Chris' far better than Rascal Flatts. At least neither Tom or Chris sound like a whining 4 year old through out the song.

[Black101Jack101]

@rodeorockfan28 Not really a whining 4 year old, and there isn't really anything wrong with their version of the song either. They are actually singing the song in the key that it would be sung in if it wasn't a country song (and therefore somehow justifying the origonal versions not really singing it out loud.) They converted the song from being country themed and thus actually sung the song as it would have been by anyone else covering the song.

[rodeorockfan28]

@Black101Jack101 the whining four year old thing is my opinion. I do not like that RF gets the credit for introducing this song to Country fans either. That is not true.

[jennyp0101]

They changed Vancouver to Vegas, that doesn't go over well with me at all! Tom Cochrane version is the best!

[bcschmerker]

Pretty good on this transposition to C major. (I'm used to the F major of both Cochrane's 1991-vintage #1 single in Canada and Rascal Flatts' cleaned-up and chorused-up rework of 2006.)

[nuggets556]

lol he's dead

[39tommyboy]

every cowboy had a chris ledoux cassette in a old radio out by the roping pen. before most people even knew his name exsept for the real cowboys. then garth brooks mentions his name in one of his songs and it went sky high then. lol rip chris.

[kzeke12]

you say nickelback i say zac brown band

you say linkin park i say jason alden

you say eminiem i say darius rucker

you say real country i say chris ledoux

thumbs up it u agree

[Burpnickel32]

@kzeke12 You are exactly right, but me I would switch darius rucker for randy houser, no offense...just don't

know much about Darius Rucker

[countrymusicaddict24]

@kzeke12 you say zac brown band, i say ricochet

you say jason aldean i say tracy byrd

you say darius rucker i say rick trevino

you say chris ledoux, i still say chris ledoux lol

yeah..not really big fan of today's mainstream stuff, but that's my point of view. lol these kinds of comparisons are fun

[ThaDru]

@kzeke12: You shouldn't insult the zac brown band like that, comparing them to nickelback! ;-D

[ralphyization]

sorry man, this isn;t going to cut it. I like Tom Cochrane's versionl Nothing has come close to touching that, yet!

[razor12331]

@ralphyization tom cochrane does a REMAKE of this ORIGINAL SONG BY Chris LeDoux

[elvisinatoaster]

@ralphyization this is real country little kid



[dianniejt]

Just heard an AWFUL version of this song on the radio (worse than Rascal Flatts if you can believe that) Had to listen to a real cowboy sing this song. Now to listen to more of his songs for the rest of the night and teach my kids what real music sounds like. RIP Chris.

[tinkmarie82]

Man I'm glad the days of Rascal Flatts cover of this being on the radio 24/7 are over with! That was painful!!! RIP & GOD BLESS CHRIS LEDOUX!!! :)

[GiantsHky]

@tinkmarie82 I'm glad I never heard this guy cover of this song on the radio.

[speedwizard97]

Sorry folks!!!! Tom Cochran's version is still the best version of this...no offense to the hee-haw crowd..

[Yukiethemalamute]

Powerful song! And this is my favorite version. Its in between noisy and too quirky. Just right...fun and fast enough, plus its Chis LeDoux

[GiantsHky]

This guy is nothing more than an inbred redneck hick.

[teripiper47]

Nobody does this better than Chris Ledoux. He will be missed.

[richardsonkimbla]

@AMERICANSOLDIER16 ha 11 people are retarded

Rascal Flatts suck... just saying

[codyveitenheimer]

Chris LeDoux.... Last real cowboy country singer!!!

[2620productions]

there all good singers to be honest....

[chironboy]

Ick. Listen to the Tom Cochrane version if you want to actually enjoy this song.

[xgmb45]

the singing had about as much emotion as McMurphy after his lobotomy

[RubySnow101]

@xgmb45

HAHA thats fucking excellent :)

[bradtaylorthomas]

this guy is the lamest piece of shit i've ever seen. jesus. just give up you pole toking pussy!

[OhMyTopHat]

I would claim it a country spin on Tom Cochrane's hit...plain wild and danceable!

[codyj103]

@cowtoy101 thank you! I ride bulls and I concider myself a cowboy but not "country" or a "redneck" and it really chaps my ass when I get called a redneck cause i rodeo

[lovelullaby12]

Chris Ledoux was the last true cowboy. God bless his soul!

[singingcowboy674]

Funny, before Garth came on the scene I'd never heard of him 'cept in passing. Never heard anything he'd done. Being from GA and him being regionalized at the time. I never met the man but a friend turned me on to him and I truly began to love the man. And no, I am heterosexual. Not that way but as a older brother. A true friend who I only knew through his songs. I'm a singer myself and I don't have a hard on for stars, pardon the phrase. We all put our pants on one leg at a time. God made us

[singingcowboy674]

@singingcowboy674 all special. We're all equal. So it wasn't that I was star struck though I did respect him as an artist. Not sure what it was. I cried when I heard about his passing. Hell, I didn't even cry when Johnny Cash passed. There was just something about what country was all about that exuded from Chris. I wish I'd of had a chance to meet him and I know one day I will. Believe he is the only one as far as artists that I actually desire to actually sit down and get to know.

[singingcowboy674]

@singingcowboy674 He wasn't my dearest friend but he damn sure meant a lot to me. I tried to write a song about him after I was passing through Kacey, WY and stopped in and met his daddy-in-law. Heh, me and that old timer sat and talked I guess the better part of two hours. Never had even met him before. Pretty much just talked about Chris who was in business with him at this tack shop. Bout every 15 min or so I'd catch myself getting choked up. I kept apologizing but he assured me it was ok.

[singingcowboy674]

@singingcowboy674 Said he meant a lot to a lots of folks. I wrote a tribute to Chris I'd like to share. It was gonna be a song but I drew a blank in the middle so Chris buddy, if you're paying attention up there which I don't know why you would be, this is for you....

America ran through his veins, A cowboy through his bones,

He loved his wife and babies and on the prairie made his home.

He could sing you a song that he wrote himself seems there was nothing that he couldn't do,

[singingcowboy674]

@singingcowboy674 He could ride, he could rope, hammer and shoe, he was a cowboy through and through. God bless you Chris. May you sleep safely in His arms til we all awake to see our Maker's face.

[TheDudeFrom0Z]

rascal flats actually sings.. this dude sounds like hes just saying it

[monopog]

this si the worst music ive heard in while

[ThePs3GaMeR321]

When i Found out rascal flats covered this song i bout shit my pants,,,,, a real cowboy wrote this song and these fags claimed it pity!

[GiantsHky]

@ThePs3GaMeR321 The Chris Ledoux version is also a cover

[ThePs3GaMeR321]

@GiantsHky  of who

[GiantsHky]

@ThePs3GaMeR321 The song was written by Tom Cochrane it was release in 1991 on his Mad Mad World album

[1992camarorallysport]

Asshole Splat's and Chris can't be compared, little fan boy's who don't know country and only know what's currently "hot" should just by pass this video.

Chris is country at it's finest without a doubt. If you can't apperciate this you need to be listening to a different type of music. Then again, country really isn't country now-day's. guess that's why the classic's are worthy of being called a classic.

[eddienickels1]

@1992camarorallysport You tell'em but it is really western originally they called it country western now just country The West Begins In Fort Worth Greetings from TEXAS

[hiimbobbythehippie]

too bad he slowed down the beggining and sings parts differently........

[VidMasters1]

i like Chris better then Tom Cochrane but rascal flatts is still the best at this song in my opinion

[canadiancountryboy94]

this song is leauges out of Rascall fags version the only time i would compare chris to them is if i where compairing black and white

[sillypickle1971]

this dude sucks

[Dtaylor94]

You tell 'em GoodOlRudy! Rascal Flatts has good music, but it's modern country; Chris LeDoux is true, pure country music and it sounds great!

[bellavida48]

love this song.. Chris is best at it but tbe lyrics Kick ... & I love sexy undertone... life is a highway & i want to ride it all night long.. I will go with you

[armymen12002003]

the best cover of this song

[MrTechnogeek52]

Seriosly Tommy C is the only one who can sing this. Just give up. I'm a rascall Flats fan and I still don't feel like he came anywhere close to the original.

[TheRorylewis]

bond2621 all i have to say is fuck you. leave good country folks alone you towel headed son of a bitch. chris ledoux IS country, rascall fags are a cheep ass boy band. you wouldnt know the difference probably because you like to take it in the ass. so go take a dick and leave this life

[TheRorylewis]

way better than the rascall fags, they covered this song right after he passed, thats bs. toms is good, but chris beats all. you cant beat straight up country that chris puts out there, if you dont like chris why would you even watch the video. chris ledoux was and still is a legend and will never be forgotten. rest in peace Mr. LeDoux.

[Bond2631]

@TheRorylewis u r the faggot

[bigwhite1979]

Chris LeDoux is a legend

[jmctasty]

Wow, this version is nothing compared to the original. Tom Cochrane's original was by far the best. Even the Rascal Flatts version was better than this one. Just my opinion.

[mat5637]

good songs!!

[nirvana9983]

this song always makes my day better.

[Kamler1]

i could just listen to this all day... to me, this is the best one... it has a different sound to it...

[SSjMrWhippy]

this is shit compared to tom cochrane, lets just say, this is the worst of the remakes, not even the tune, his singing is good and his other songs are alright, but sorry to say, this so shit.

[moondogiec]

thats assinine fuck you show some respect do you know how hard it is to make and play songs. chris ledoux is one of the best singers in the world you faget

[SSjMrWhippy]

firstly: learn how to spell

secondly: he is one of the best, i said this song was shit

[jhammer8199]

@SSjMrWhippy shows how much you really no its easily better

[newfoundlandmike]

i am not the biggest fan of country music but i think tom's version is the best not saying that other versions of the song isnt good Chris ledoux was a great artist RIP

[sax1master1]

:( i like Tom Chochranes a ton better

[kapnkrunch009]

Meow

[wyoriver33]

plus he's from wyoming so thats awesome in itself...ha

[wyoriver33]

The best of all time! there is no question...he lived it, sang about it, and believed it. Try finding that in the junk thats on the radio today....(rescal flatts)

[calfropingfordman]

i hate rascal flats with a pasion

[cowtoy101]

i wouldnt call real cowboys "rednecks" to their face unless you want to see what a ride on a cot in an ambulance is like.Chris was a REAL cowboy singing songs for REAL cowboys and cowgirls and was not only a gentleman but a great friend to many.

[redneckmechanic94]

@cowtoy101 Your right, but there are some "real" cowboys that are big rednecks. My bro for instance, hes done everything from bronc riding, to bull riding. he's the biggest redneck I know.

[BIueCameI]

@cowtoy101 LMFAO @ you.. My brother is biggest reckneck Former Marine you will ever meet. He has stomped plunty of people even befor he was a Gunner. he don't get pissed over being called a redneck he smiles with pride. Still wears tight wranglers and a cowboy hat.. So much for what you think... Most cow boys, rednecks, farm boys, boys from the woods. they are all cool most are willing to help for free. I don't know what crap your smoking. but that comment is not true. I was raised on farms.

[screwlost42]

@cowtoy101 A real cowboy knows that a redneck is someone who has a sunburn from workin his ass off out side doing real jobs. He will point that out well he is cleaning the pavement with your face. Dont forget he has to imbed a good lesson to you as he imbeds your face into the ground.

[cowtoy101]

@screwlost42 well for fun for the past 26 years my playmates were 2000 pound rodeo bulls because i was a Pro Rodeo Bullfighter/Barrelman and i retired last year, not only that i was born and raised on a cattle/horse ranch so i know a little about Cowboying and also Rednecks, around here Rednecks work on farms and Cowboys work on ranches and we get along fine with each other.

[screwlost42]

@cowtoy101 oh yeah I know the difference just sayin that redneck aint an insult to a real redneck. Not sayin cowboys are rednecks. I have worked on ranches and farms and am niether a cowboy or a farmer but I know better than to cross words with either unless you like as you said "to ride in a cot in the ambulance to the hospital" happy new year n stuff.

[cowtoy101]

@screwlost42 i met a lot of cute nurses riding on a cot in an ambulance to the hospital, just as the saying goes "ride bulls, bust broncs,,,meet nurses"

[sobratogirl]

@cowtoy101 I don't think that generalization is true for everybody. (Yeah, I know I'm being a smart alec.) I'm practically a redneck. I'm not born into it--not really, but I've embraced it for about three years (and speaking as a teenager, that's a lot). I'm currently "brain-swaggled" by a cowboy, I listen to country music all the time, and I miss riding terribly. I joke about it a bit, but that's the only way I get to talk about it as much as I want to.

[lookingforlennon]

I don't get it with the negativity, I like this just as much as Tom Cochrane's both videos don't really have much to do with the song and I always just dug the song so stop knocking this guy he's good in my opinion.

[lynyrdskynyrd4ever]

this song has very little feeling. tom cochranes video shows you what he wanted to trasmit with the song, this video shows you the literal meaning of the lyrics... no color

[kgurlroxursox]

I agree with 886rocker - This is the worst version i've heard!

Rascal Flatts does it the best in my opinion

[clurion]

Rascal Flatts is a pathetic mockery of music :/

[GiantsHky]

only dumb redneck hicks would like this version.

[93fordboy]

go back to your BMW and your dang latte. they miss you

[jackrussellhonda]

fuck off

[886rocker]

This version i do not like, sorry all

[Hooplights]

I cant say enough how much you enriched my life Chris. I danced in alot of barns in the dirt just too see you and loved you performing at the Grizzly Rose in Denver. The world lost a part of our history when passed but I know somewhere your making music for true blue Cowgirls!!!

[yellowsubmarinemex]

COOL, GOD BLESS YOU MR. LEDOUX...

[AirborneXXL]

Miss you Chris RIP

[elvischik]

GREAT version of the song...video is odd but you get a kick out of it for sure haha

RIP Chris

[ifraglife]

i like all 3 versions, whats not to like about this song:

great message

great sound

great song

[redneckgirl5394]

i like this version a lot better. true i wasnt born wen toms came out, but wenever i hear RF version, i start singin Chris's version

RIP Chris

[sensoryhouse]

this version blows and was covered a whole 6 years after the original.

[TheBlakeWilson]

Hrm. Personally, I think Tom owns this song with his heart and soul! Flatt's cover was meh, didn't like it much. Didn't like this one much either. But hey, just my opinion. Tom's copy <3

[GoodOlRudy]

Rascal Flatts and Chris LeDoux don't even belong in the same sentence! People who think Rascal Flatts are better aren't true (country) fans. Taking nothing from RF, because they have good music but it's not exactly country. Chris LeDoux wasn't trying to make a ton of money with this he was having fun covering a song he liked. Adding his own stamp on it with the crazy video. He did the music for fun and did it all his way. He didn't care if people liked it or not. Chris was a lovable nut!

[morosemoose]

@GoodOlRudy Chris LeDoux was the last of the real shit kickin cowboy singers. Most of what's outy htere now are a bunch of wannabees.

[labcoat31]

@GoodOlRudy R.I.P. Chris Ledoux!!!

[ford7919]

@GoodOlRudy someone changed the lyrics to make it american. written by a canadian using world cities changed to all american cities for chris's version. like chris but rascal used original lyrics.

[CraZyGurL1951]

i like rascal flatts version better.tom and this dude suck at this song.rascal flatts sings it better.i dont care if you put me thumbs down.rascal is better.

[VIDvider]

Tom Cochrane, all the way.

[calfropingfordman]

hell no

[littlekiwimarilou05]

I like the original by Tom Cochrane better, no mean to offense anyone who likes this version or Rascal Flatt's version better....Plus, if you listen correctly to the lyrics of this version, they modified the lyrics a bit...

[VIDvider]

Thank you

[xanthwing]

This version is superior to all others.

[calfropingfordman]

yep especialy that gay ass fuckin rascal flats band they are not country

[Charna44]

Tom's version pawns this.

[Willow2567]

How much fun is this video! Very creative and enjoyable! CRAZY!

[bevvy60]

original way better
