[Dampyy]

U need to do Show must go on! PLEASE!

[blubare]

There are plenty of americans in the running for Queen extravaganza

[StephenKuharik1989]

u sound good

[japguy360]

what! No backflip?

[rachelismbabilove]

haha strangey :P

[NellaTorre]

Congratulations on the second round.

[erynperyn]

That face.

[RealDavoX]

I love your guitar playing! But you should try not to make that strange face :P

[kokopilko]

What is it with youtube guitarists and JEM's?

[V3n0m667]

@kokopilko Because they're freaking awesome! I <3 my pmc.

[NeoAndersonn]

Now met up and start Queen again!

[songsprings]

Great combo!

[FaBioZunk]

FANTASTIC the best i ever heard :) good luck

[flootzavut]

Fair play Matt, that was awesome. It's a huge shame the Brits are being left out, and I think you just showed why. Ironic seeing as Queen started here huh? But yeah, nice job - alongside the obvious (Marc!) this is the best audition video I've seen by miles.

[manola425]

ho i brividi!

[teemucarr]

You sing like an angel!!!!

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

where is your guitar in the mix?!

[Vale3028]

Incredibile, non ci sono parole questo tipo è stato baciato da qualche Dio!!!

[MrsTakumi]

ok i officialy melted you sang so AMAZINGLY well

[hitcharide1]

boy got skillz....very nice guitar indeed!

[balleroceleste]

S U P E R B

[NascarNiki]

If you want to hear more of Marc's music look up the Band called Downhere! They are Amazing!

[LooneyBlondie]

Nice Mashup!! ^^

[shawnuel]

That was pretty great, Matt. And who wouldn't want a guitar player named Shred?

[RR2510]

@mattshred

your using a Ibanez guitar right?,met what kind of amp are you using?

an what is your amp?

some are using the Brian May guitar but don't come so close to the original sound.

[domeee11]

perfect combination...

[RR2510]

matt can you upload a Bo Rhap versie with you playing Brians solo?

[Todd1971]

4 people are RETARDED !!!

[ozzcar1]

Am I the only one who can barely hear this guy's guitar...?

[LordLuKha]

@ozzcar1 yup.

[waspjerk1]

I think they want to give the us Americans/Canadians a chance because of the on rising pandemic over here. Many Americans have Bieber Fever so we need to produce something able to combat this ongoing "pandemic". It's a fight for humanity man

[oldnetfag]

Great job dude, They should definitely open this to the Brits and ANYONE else for that matter. As a Canuck, I still call shennanagins. You'd get my vote! Best luck to you mate!

[SeawaySensFan]

Having seen a few highly regarded Queen tributes, the guitar playing is usually the glaring flaw. You nailed this buddy! Very impressive.

[lokiqueen24]

Amazing! dude, move to the states for a while then go back. Lol you've got this! & Marc too. :)

[chrisseher]

cool my friend....really nice! ! ! congratulation...I think the new generations of musicians are much better and talented than the old, so it is a sacrilege to say, but I do not care, queen needs new people, it ceases to be an ordinary franchise! time for new talent

[jennyjoe798]

WOW!!!

[pethornton6]

If only opened to Canada.....THEN MOVE!! You were great!!

[killerqueen501]

You're good, but you know full well that you can't enter, so you go ahead and make a mix of you and someone who is getting huge exposure under the guise of "a duet with the person who i think deservs to win". Bullshit, you saw he was getting 5 million views and decided to use his publicity to try sneak some views of your own.

The rules are clear, NA only. it will be rolled out in other continents if it gathers success in north america.

[tightproductions]

Great couple :-)

[leahbethm]

Ha! That was great that you did it with the Marc Martel vocals! ..... "This is the guitar solo ..... "

[mwl797]

good luck man... you deserve to be the guitarist!

[NellaTorre]

Matt, you're awesome. Not only do you absolutely own that guitar but you're humble. It's an absolute shame that you don't qualify. Luckily they still posted it and the world can see how truly great you are.

[snider029]

No why your great singer damn it my country has left behind a great singer.

[snider029]

@snider029 Wait I misread that Guitar was great too though and it is a shame

[Nicoljane]

Sooooo glad to see you entered Matt, you'll get my vote for sure.

[domeee11]

the left guys looks like freddy himself hahaha

[meowzeenha]

Man give it a go, send your video (without Marc on it OFC), I've seen on the official site video from contestant from Brazil, so if they are putting it up on the official site, even if the rules say is open to North America and Canada only, is because they are looking at everyone and maybe they will redo this rule soon. Wont cost a thing, just send it!!! You are great :)

[jasen1011]

Good job Guy! Check out my guitar solo for the song...check out my channel....I have a few other Queen covers on there. I'm from Canada and have entered the contest...you would definately have my vote...even though you'd be against me :P cheers, J.

[figaro214]

awesome - saw him on Ellen as well - If he doesn`t win contest she will surely make

him a star-

[Logan27T]

This is SO fantastic! I got choked up when I saw him on Ellen. Keeping Freddie alive!

[lolilory]

GO GO GO MATT!! :)

[pumasuede]

This discovery is way way better than Journey's (the guy from the Philipines)

[Mandy1114]

He HAS to be Freddie Mercury's love child... I know... he was gay.... but STILL. Maybe a reincarnation? lol And that guy on the guitar looked HOT while "shredding" it. :D

[llwillis01]

Wow! You are amazing and should win that contest. Queen should hire you themselves and maybe they can become a band again with you! Exceptional!

[xXxRach25xXx]

1 deaf person watched this video lol! x

[007pinballdoctor]

That was totally awesome! Thanks from a long term Queen fan!!

WOW

[04phyllb56]

Good luck Mark! Saw you at the Ellen show yesterday. Hope you make it all the way. Fantastic voice!

[russellperry]

This is the guitar solo...

[RakHapoelPT]

Wow that's great.Im going to upload one too! (:

[Nicoljane]

I'm sure it's not just Canada but the whole of north America it's open to. Please check it out again.

[Mattshredmusic]

@Nicoljane But i'm from London :) x

[Nicoljane]

@Mattshredmusic I know plenty of us Brits are angry at Rogers choice from comments at the QueenEXtravaganze facebook page. Considering Queen where born here, it's unfair, though there is talk Roger maybe opening the contest up to Europe and Oz.. Him must!

I was dead against this contest at the start, but after listening to Marc, well thats the closest to Freds voice I've ever heard, Roger himself is amazed ..and you've got Brians pitch exactly.

[Mattshredmusic]

@Nicoljane Do you think i should just apply even thou technically i can't win anyway lol at least then they'll get to see it and realise that they've shot themselves in the foot? :p x

[Nicoljane]

@Mattshredmusic Yes I sure would, I'm sure someone from mexico entered and that isn't included. Go for it! :o)

[flootzavut]

@Mattshredmusic I have no idea what difference it would make, but for what it's worth, you should definitely at least try to enter - your rendition should be out there getting you fans.

[31415equalspi]

@Mattshredmusic do that. Then they might open the competition internationally.

[Nicoljane]

That was brilliant, it's not fair it should be open to everyone. I agree Marc should win and you would win the lead guitar...

that was awesome you make that thing sing.

[Mattshredmusic]

@Nicoljane Thanks Nico! so very kind of you :) x

[Yo1969Yo]

@Mattshredmusic You are very good. Like Nicolijane said, I also heard that Roger is thinking about making another Queen Extravaganza but this time it will include England. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

[edgc91]

WTF with the faces on the solo

[Mattshredmusic]

@edgc91 haha! if you were a musician you'd understand that when you're playing from the soul you have no control over the rest of your body, it's all completely on impulse and spontaneous, check out Steve Vai, he pulls some cracking expressions lol!

[greybash]

wow that was amazing!

[Mattshredmusic]

@greybash Thankyou! :) got a new vid coming soon, just started work on it now! x

[Mattshredmusic]

@greybash Thankyou! :) got a new vid coming soon, just started work on it now! x

[NairLuani]

That solo! I wish you could enter. Amazing!

[Mattshredmusic]

@NairLuani I know right! me too :( x

[gigisdiamonds]

Oh that sucks! I mean living out of the area. I thought you lived in the US. Wish you could live with some U.S friends for a bit. But I know that doesn't work. I married a brit. And the laws suck. Sorry =( Maybe when they see how few good people are turning out, they will change the rulles. Or have a contest for the UK, Well you still ROCK IT! Keep it out there...you just never know what may come of it yet! =)

[Mattshredmusic]

@gigisdiamonds i know :( fingers crossed! how amazing would it be if they changed the rules after seeing my entry haha one can dream hehe thankyou for your support! :) x
