Smokin' - Boston Cover Song

[GuitaristCovers]

Great cover mate, I really enjoyed it. It kinda dragged on a little as you were kinda "commentating" at the start? I dunno, maybe that's just me. But anyway great cover, you rock

[Fempter]

omg, very nice :D YOU ROCK!

[TheSlugger099]

WOW SILVER HAMMER!! BRAVO, I LOVE THIS COVER!! GREAT GUITAR!

[michaelkelso8298]

ROCK ON SILVER HAMMER!!!!

[queenrocks77]

good stuff but the guitar was to low in the mix. I was struggling to hear it.

[MrDanteTube]

I wish you were my grandpa!! =D

Outstanding!!!

Obs.: 260 likes/26 dislikes. Conclusion: 1 in 10 people are not smokin'

[darthmanno]

HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE A GREAT GUITAR COVER BY ONE OF THE JOLLIEST MEN I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!

[chrisoo99]

[ole9421]

Love those cymbal crashes. They sound like someone hitting pie pans.

[HuutavaOrgasmi]

Whoa! Nice guitar! :) And good playin' btw ;)

[Jackinart]

This is so classic...the headphones. :-)

[101pete101]

You're never too old to rock!

[FanDesBeatles]

I love Boston, and your cover is sooooooo great.

[Jonasbroh8er]

Heyy SilverHammer Really Love The Cover :D I Was Wondering, For Your Backing Track, Did You Use Some Kind Of Computer Program? Cause Im In The Guitar Covering Youtuber Myself, Im Currently Fixing All My Vids Cause I Didnt Have A Good Amp At The Time, But Anyway Yea If You Can Tell Me What Program You Used, That Would Rock :D Thanks Alot, Keep On Rocking That Tele, Deff Suits You :D

[SilverHamer]

@Jonasbroh8er Thanks for your compliments. The backing was something I made myself using a Yamaha DGX-200 Electronic Keyboard and a Boss DR-880 rhythm box, and my Johnson short-scale bass. I recorded it into a Korg D3200 digital work station and exported the tracks to my laptop and used Magix Video Deluxe 2.0 to mix audio and video tracks.  Hope this helps you.

[kiekieboek]

hello Silverhammer i like your cover and also your guitar. Do mostly use the tele or do you also have other 6-strings at home??

[SilverHamer]

@kiekieboek I presently have 2 Teles...one I made myself. The one in this video was given to me. I mostly play Hamer guitars.

[jrbostonrocks]

Yea buddy! Rock on Brotha!

[theguywholaughed]

hey man me again....is thata homebuilt telecaster? god i bet youve got tons of guitars in your house, i guess your wife doesent mind then XD nice cover too:)

[SilverHamer]

No, this one isn't home-built...but my wife bought it for me :) I have 22 guitars plus two projects awaiting assembly. And nope, she doesn't mind at all...in fact I have so many guitars because of her. :D

[TheShadowShaman]

great job, you just can't plan for the headphone slipping down! =)

[billyzoom1]

That was very fun. Love how your personality came through. Nice playing! I know many of the parts of the song but never could stick with it to put it all together. Awesome.

[ZACfromSCB]

You Sir, are amazing...

[JumpingTomato]

Nice job! I love your Tele, and that's also a cool T you're wearing!

[jakegallo]

i hate you with a passion, i hope your trailer burns up killing you and your honey , and your piece of shit telecaster, you are white trash, i hope you do not try to reproduce

[SilverHamer]

1. Why would you hate me with a passion...I doubt we even know each other

2. I don't live in a trailer...if you knew me well enough to hate me with a passion you would know this.

3. You have real issues with your own self esteem to wish two perfect strangers dead.

4. This Tele may be an import, but it's by far no piece of shit.

5. I prefer the term "redneck"

6. Too late, I have three kids who have also reproduced.

Perhaps you forgot your Prozac today.

[jamesmanortiz]

@jakegallo fuck off dude i hope your computer blows up in your fucking face while your writing this dumbass comments, this video is here for entertainment and if you dont like it go fuck your self.

[yoneverknow123]

[Sreybk]

Nice Tele.

[fenderstrat71]

[ScrewAttackChina]

What's with all these little punks disrespecting you and your videos. I can't wait when they re-instate the draft. Time to teach some manners. HUAA, you little punks?

[bosdriver1234]

Dude!! play that whole alice cooper tune......halo of flies! I'll be watchin for it!

[SilverHamer]

My cousin Tim and I did the full-blown cover for Halo of Flies about 8 or 9 months ago, but we didn't make a video. We have it loaded up on our mp3 player on myspace. It is song #6 in the myspace player, and there are more tunes below there in a music widget from reverbnation. Check us out at myspace(dot)com/theninnow Had to use (dot) because youtube doesn't allow us to post URL addys in our comments. :D Let us hear from you, man. LC

[Foxracer708]

head phones lol ha that was funny amazing boston rocks!!

[ddblackwell]

it looks like you had fun making this one....lol You are really good, love to watch you play. still waiting on some Fogerty!!

[otuma1]

very good

3:20 lol

[gibson1714]

can you give me the tab for the chorus?

[GuiTuber]

That was smokin'. With all the collaborating you do, you need to find someone who can put some words to it. It would be a masterpiece then. -Rob

[nfkfirefighter]

one troop to another good video! awesome work

[Guitarplaya103]

lmao the head phones fall down..  dude ur Awesome!

[Renkuto]

I started playing around more than a year ago, and More Than A Feeling is a good song to learn.. not too easy, and not too hard :D

[matthewgoodnight92]

it's odd to see you not playing a hamer.

[cooley23]

It's not often that you see someone playing "Halo of Flies". I certainly enjoyed that. Thanks!

[SilverHamer]

My cousin, Tim, and I did a full-blown cover of Halo and the audio is posted on our myspace page. Check it out when you get the chance. URL is myspace(dot)com/theninnow

Thanks for the great comments! LC

[MacksGoldberg]

I've got to learn to play a guitar. This video further convinces me that I would enjoy being able to play the songs that I love. Maybe this Christmas I'll buy myself a beat-up six string from a secondhand store. I wouldn't know how to play it but I know for sure that I can't learn how without having one to practice with.

[deathgrape]

Do it. I got a Stratocaster 6-string standard for pretty cheap at a local store and taught myself, and it is extremely rewarding once you learn the basics.

[bengal21]

Great!!!!!!!!!! you are very entertaining

[bobbrza]

what kind of humbuckers do you have?

[SilverHamer]

This guitar doesn't have humbuckers...these are generic Telecaster single coil pickups. I have about 14 other guitars which DO have humbuckers on them, and it depends on which guitar you are asking about as to which kind are on it. My SG has Gibson pickups, one of my Hamers has a Seymour Duncan "Seth Lover" at the bridge and a "59" at the neck, while another of my Hamers has a pair of "59s"...and so on. I like Seymour's pickups ;)

[SnakeCIA1]

Are you gay? I heard you are gay?

[SnakeCIA1]

You suck at this song.

[mOnAuLt]

omfg !! the drums r crazy !! and good job ;)silverhammer

[skydiverperu]

Hey SilverHamer i need you in my birthday.... you are very funny.... greetings from Lima Peru

[Travis5DTD]

do you have Guitar Pro5 your backingtrack Sounds like it...

[SilverHamer]

I don't know what Guitar Pro5 is...I threw the backing track together using the keyboard you see against the wall behind me, and a Korg DDD-5 drum box, recorded them using Steinberg WaveLab and mixed the audio tracks with Magix Video Deluxe 2.0 when I made this video. This is one of the few of my vids that the camera audio is used in the mix.

[poolph01]

Dude... 201% (100% Great job and 101% Great composure)... that was a cool trick with the headphones, you made it look like an accident... :)

[lovelymccaslin]

i love you !

[oogledump]

[HansieDZ]

I think you're great!

Keep on pickin' LC!

[paullym25]

[antihax91]

[itstristanyo]

I'm going to be seeing Boston and Styx next Tuesday, can't wait!

[pomp1957]

[zeppelin743]

That was awesome the song and the little alice cooper intro it made me laugh so hard when the head phones started to fall.

[jasonjinx]

Good cover. That's a cool-looking Tele you got there.

[SkynyrdLives]

Go Silver Hammer!!!

[drumjams27]

awesome!!

[DrummerThib]

Great Job man!! Really good but i have a little question.. whats the name of that song u were playin in the begining?? please message me as soon as possible. Thanks

[SilverHamer]

That was a song called Halo Of Flies by Alice Cooper from their Killer LP...circa 1971/72.  Thanks for the kind words. LC

[coodlude]

oh man when your headphones fell that was hilarious the way you reacted!!....fantastic playing and the backing track was nice too!

[SilverHamer]

Yea it was one of those moments...this was actually about take number 6 or 7 because there was a certain part in the beginning that I kept messing up...I finally get through it and the damn headphones fall...I was thinking, "NATURALLY!" LOL. I decided that if they didn't fall completely off that I'd just keep going and fix them in the first guitar break. LOL. It all worked out, but boy was I ever frustrated...LOL. I thought about redoing it once more, but at this point I had HAD IT! LOL.

[Luigiman960]

lol 3:20

[MrBrawl]

Pretty cool, man! I think you should turn up your guitar a tad, and maybe even add a little more distortion. That was spot-on, I'd say! Very nice!

[scorpioTNT]

Do you mind if i put this one on my ipod so i can rock al day?

[scorpioTNT]

its easily downloadable.. and/butt because i greatly admire your giftedness on the guitar. i just ask cause i respect you.

[SilverHamer]

Help yourself! :D I'm flattered!

LC

[kbleuel]

Dude it's nice to see an awesome cover of one of the greatest rock songs ever composed. Keep on rockin brother! I wish I had those skills.

[maffmanu]

[jboots22]

Damn!!! I'm jealous. That was spot on. Way to go Silver... oh yeah, I almost forgot,.....Fuck you larscole1977..

[eddana2]

[SilverHamer]

Yessir!! :D I'm also a big-time fan of the original Alice Cooper Band. :) Thanks for your comments.

[eddana2]

Brother... my friggin headphones do that all the time...lol ...i hate em....

[mark052092]

hahahaha Larscole1977 you just got dominated right there.

you tell em larry haha

great job playing, and what a fine guitar you got there too

thanks for posting.

[larscole1977]

Wow---you know what...you are a descent guitar player, however...I'm concerned that you are actually gay. Could your'e 'honey' be a man? Wow---seriously dude...man up.

[SilverHamer]

Whatever would make you think that I'm gay? And so what if I was? LOL. Nope, I'm 100% hetero and my honey is the sweetest little Philipina gal in the world, and she loves to treat me to new instruments on a regular basis. After checking YOUR page out I see that you are just a person who likes to piss people off with your comments...so basically you've just made an attempt to rile me up, but you've failed. Seriously, dude, go fuck yourself. :D

[videotaker4356]

Well said Silver. A lot of people like what you do and that's what it count the most.

[therisnousername]

lmao nice response and nice guitar playing im going to try to start playing the guitar but it will take me awhile since im only 14 and listen to rock all the time and have no clue what im doing :D

[456run]

great play and an especially good headphone mouth protector...

[ERB77777]

Good job hammer!!! Great attitude my friend. Looks like you had fun doing it.

[societyofsoul17]

[MyFairyKing500]

Hey, you're a really cool guy, you look very nice.

Btw:Boston is a great band, I love American Rock Music, I'm Austrian, but no problem for me. =)

Keep on rockin', dude! (and cool guitar) =)

[SilverHamer]

Thank you! :D

[HxHenry]

cool old dude. cool guitar. and i only say old cuz of the white mustache.

[SilverHamer]

I prefer to think of it as "silver" :) Thanks for the compliment.

[SilverHamer]

Sorry for the multiple replies...I was using my Tilt Phone and it did not appear to be posting...grrrr. Turns out it posted too many LOL.

[BugsBunny1337]

I love this song and this is a great cover, outstanding.

[TRAEISBLACK]

[Raptor4488]

[1987944s]

very nice!! make some more

[BigManlyMan4]

dude boston is the best band. It really sucks that they went bankrupt

[jernov]

hah, that's a cool american tele xD

I'm just wondering, how many guitars do you have laying around? I've seen quite a few of them already ^.^

[SilverHamer]

I put strings on 20 necks...but I count my double-neck as 1 guitar, and with that being said, the last count was 19 1/2. The 1/2 is an SG body, fully loaded, which needs a neck. :D

[jernov]

hehe =)

You should make a video showing all your guitars and other equipment sometime, maybe a series cause that might not fit in a 10 minute timeframe, LOL.

I'm almost done with repairing one of my own guitars, I'm making a video about that one soon =)

[SilverHamer]

I put strings on 20 necks. 5 Hamers 4 Johnsons 3 Gibsons 2 Teles (Larry Tele, & American Flag) 1 Galvestson (double-neck) 1 LTD 1 Titan Strat 1 Ventura 1 Yamaha I also have an SG body which is fully loaded, but needs a neck.

[ExcruciationX]

Nice, great playing. One of the best bands ever. :)

I'm dying to hear you play it with a sustainor pedal (if you have one).

[kevin01725]

ur the man

[nuremaste]

Pretty sweet. Nice job, Silverhammer. Wish I had your chops.

[karebear1989]

It just cracks me up how he watched that fall...woopsie! lol

[JackdawRyan]

thats not a fender tele? what make is it?

[SilverHamer]

It's called Trinity River...it's an imported copy.

[nrajeff]

Great guitar playing, LC. Awesome job.

[mike6254]

hey man that was pretty good

freaky thing about it

i just learned and played the song this morning lmfao

thats very good though not gonna lie

but i have to ask, how did u get the backing track; how did you make it?

[SilverHamer]

With my handy-dandy drum box, my bass gee-tar, and a little bit of borrowed talent from a friend on the organ. :) And, of course, a pot-load of inspiration from Boston. :-D

[tomwillbetom]

thats not the song douche
