Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down (Cover)

[jnic4901]

Try again abit slower and this wouldn't be a bad cover...as it is though.....:/

[MikaylaanddTabby]

leave this one to Johnny.....

[SFRslap02]

Covering cash isnt about sounding like cash, its about rememberin those songs, its up to us to keep playin em, i dont care if your too fast or too slow, he didnt insult the name of cash, i take it as a sign of respect to cash, so unless you guys show me somethin better its not your place to say this is a bad cover

[toogawnjawn]

Good vid, saw lots of covers of this song, and this is up with the best, this is the most poplular post mortem of cash after the hit nine inch nails cover of hurt before he passed on. Another cover that he did was personal jesus and from depece mode to maryln manson, they were all good versioms.

[Jay79504]

you sound very much like him dude. But slow it down and you will be dead on. *No pun intended* lol great cover

[leinhart991]

What about gaga?....Leave Cash for the big boys ok pretty "bad" boy?

[JerkRant]

@leinhart991 what about her? big boy ;p

[psstplease]

To all the users who are hating on this cover....it's called a COVER for a reason. This is his own personal way of performing the song how HE wants to. It isn't supposed to be an exact replication of the original song. As a matter of fact, no cover song ever performed by ANY artists is going to be the same as the original song. I challenge any of you haters to turn on a camera, pick up a guitar, and record yourself performing this song. Guarantee it wouldn't be a fraction as good as this...

[jordan82992roberts]

too fast slow down

[tigerw222]

i liked it. good version

[robpm9996]

Forget everyone else, I like your cover!

[TMGDragon]

Your going to fast slow it down and it would be better.

OUT.

[AlexIsonSanders]

GREAT man, rhythm is very consistent. Do you practice a lot of flamenco? -Are you tapping the guitar with your middle finger, or is there something I'm not seeing??

[scottsvision]

Nice cover! Can't believe all the douche-bag-hater comments on here.

[cowboyfromkettins]

i like it, different take on a classic.

[ModiDody]

its almot like rapping WTF Dude !?!

[Snix03]

was a pretty dope cover, you should do another take when you feel better

[time4business]

if you didnt enjoy this one watch mine and be as brutally honest.

[BryceeTB]

i actually liked this.

[vince277]

Dude you made it your own... pretty good I liked it.

[mrclean320]

im sure your a nice guy and all, but seriously... YOU BUTCHERED THIS SONG, AND MADE AN INSULT TO THE NAME OF CASH...

[JerkRant]

@mrclean320 i'm sure you're a bald guy and all... BUT YOU'RE RUINING IT FOR ALL THE OTHER BALD GUYS OUT THERE

[AlexIsonSanders]

@mrclean320 Yer a dick.

[mrclean320]

@AlexIsonSanders thanks

[OpieTheRipper]

@mrclean320 What's funny is I'm sure Johnny Cash would love this rendition and appreciate a fan who took his time to put his own spin to it.

[mrclean320]

@OpieTheRipper im sure johnny cash is turning in his grave because of this

[garrettkirkthompson]

I loved the double-time thing you did every now and then. Thanks for the upload.

And for everyone who's complaining about the timing, rhythm, tone, et cetera, I do hope you realize that a good cover isn't the same as a note-for-note copy of the original song. Interpretation is what makes covers interesting. If you want to hear something that sounds exactly like the original, just listen to the original. Just saying.

[BigRed40299]

i dont care what anyone says this was a bad ass cover

[mattmulcahy1]

i thought this was a great cover, better then the god dam gospel singer girl i just watched, these guys got sticks in there asses

[SliponmyVans]

love the way you play it and your give it a rock n roll touch with your voice. very good! :)

check also my channel, got some covers too :).

[gambit511]

i think you are great good cover

[epr323]

Intro is outstanding! great cover

[epr323]

I intro is outstanding, good cover!

[countryboyrick91]

can u give a how to on this i have an idea on the chords but i'd like to know them to make sure

[bryon17]

Its as if john travolta from grease tried to sing Johnny Cash in the style of elvis

[mattdd05]

It's a cover you idiots!!!! He's not a Johnny Cash impersonator he can play the song any way he likes. He is aware that the song is faster than the original he's the one who learned the song not you complainers.

[mrdepaz666]

u just woke up who cares play the the song just wanna hear song not your life story bad cover 2

[JerkRant]

@mrdepaz666 u think it's bad? who cares just watch the video and leave not your opinion

[AlexIsonSanders]

@mrdepaz666 You're real constructive in criticizing.

[thejackal280]

its good, i love it, but its gotta be slow for the ultimate greatness

[BleednDreamz]

Well the people that are saying this is terrible are merely commenting on it is too fast, and not a complete mirror to the original.

If you ignore the fact that it is faster then the original, he did a damn good job.

[WeAreNootCool]

Omfg :O

[psstplease]

Dude I like this....I like the percussion beat it adds more effect to the song, much like the original.

[loginusername7]

wake and bake. rock on dude.

[perleatsworld]

How dare you play a cover of a cover in a way that Johnny didn't play it! Stop complaining people, great job.

[jacobmuller]

Pretty good.

[photosinmiami]

well i lasted through about 34 seconds. meh

[SmegmoliO]

Where did you learn that. It's not right. You got rythm, that I can recon, but there is a certain emotion that goes with every (good) song, especialy J.Cash's songs.

I just saw a very nice cover of this song by some dude on here, luca7fold, his video is just a black & white picture (of Him?) but the way he does it is pretty good. Think he's got an accent from some-othe-country. enuff said.

[JerkRant]

@SmegmoliO well considering I posted this song 5 minutes after learning the chords and words I must agree there wasn't much emotion... I do play it a lot slower... but still in my own way.... I find it boring strumming it without somne of the percussion slapping

[JerkRant]

@SmegmoliO btw I also checked out the luca7fold cover... and it was fucking horrible

[SmegmoliO]

@JerkRant what can I say...keep doing what you do man.

[SmegmoliO]

@JerkRant I reckon the recording is pretty bad XD but still a good cover I think.

[wiebehouwers]

GREAT!

[gatewaycart]

-FUCK- these haters.

Your cover is fucking great.

You got style, and I can feel the rugged sincerity in your performance.

5 Stars from Kentucky.

[SonicGlover]

its not too fast its his cover...thats why its a cover its his version and its different i like it good job man

[huzy619]

oh please man, you've got to teach me how you did it. it is excellent, perfect. please help, i've been trying to learn this song for a week and it sounds nothing like it. please help a fellow guitarist.

[mrnice1989ka]

Very Nice !!!!!

[mycokerulesyayD]

dude. your voice,Is fucking amazing.

[calebwright111]

wow... that was very bad... im not saying i could do any better, but im just giving my honest opinion

[MVLINEMAN]

Hey bro dont listen to shit people on here say, your cover is fuckin badass

[MVLINEMAN]

hey bro do you have the tabs for this? i cant find em anywhere

[alexdldude]

Nice video and cover man:-)

Like the joke about being ecofriendly too ^^

[Collierscott9]

You should give lessons

[lolomggabielle]

[doughnuts56]

I thinks its good, great job man

[Invaderzim120]

it was pretty good

[ganonslyaer98]

a little fast but it was good

[buttzillamal]

Great voice, great playing. Well done, Johnny Cash is key.

[perleatsworld]

thank you, I feel like I should thank you for this

[owsleyforkmusic]

nice

[micros43]

Stick that guitar up your bummy mr.

[Avatardevil1]

I like your interpratation of this song. (I don't know if "interpratation" is the world I'm looking for because I'm from Poland, and as everybody knows Polacks are idiots) : )

[eatthinkblink]

this is the best cover on here but i think you sing it to fast bud

[VirusDK]

Good voice and good job. :)

[mobako]

You'll check your comments just to see that I said great job pal.

Great job pal.

[MrSajtos]

nem is így van te gyökér XD ez nem mulatós te rühes Bódi Guszti utánzat :S

[Tonybasskicker2]

it's too fast dude

[LTchimp]

u gots to send me the tabs

[RobSweeneysMusic]

Hey man, Its just

Am, Dsus2

then

C, Dsus2, Em, Am.. Those are the only chords you'll need to know.

[ForTheFallen2000]

You drink when You wake up. Hahahahahaha

[Farmertran]

That's probably how he gets the nice raspy voice that our friend Cash has. Maybe I should start drinking when I wake up..

[ForTheFallen2000]

I used to do that, it catches up with you. Now I dont drink at all, and I feel better.....I was sick.

[RockStarKick]

Nice job, I just did this one if you got time to check it out

[ashleyapplebee]

this is fantastic. you've got great taste in music :D

[strongbowist]

Nice job man!

[xXJonathan789Xx]

Damn this strum is driving me nuts! It's tapping the wood with your thumb and strumming at the same time right? I just can't see how you incorporate the faster strum during the "Cut you down" periods. It seems almost impossible when done in that method.

[silbentor]

muy bueno desde asturias

[Tidinrw]

you've done your own way. great!

5*****

[NarutosDemonForm]

Wow. This is pretty good of a cover.

[EMGge]

i should be thanking you for this?..lol

you want acoustic technique, search yoav

[JerkRant]

I don't believe I asked for any special appreciation let alone a thanks.

However, Yoav is quite original with his acoustic techniques even though I don't enjoy most of his songs. But so are Miyavi, Antoine Dufour, Vicki Genfan, Joey Eppard and many more.

[PunkRotter69]

he's out his nut....

[ZULUFENIX]

Well the strumming pattern in rather cool but is he o cocaine or what ? :|

[Topazmoon]

holy shit man... thats good, i love the strumming pattern

[tomlove79]

if you like this check out EUM Gods gonna cut you down, just search it on you tube...Great work!

[NastyGreaser]

WTH I dont know this technique. really good improvisation, or did you get it from somewhere?

[towgunner31]

nice work do you think you could post how to play it? great job

[tlsnow44]

haha awesome job man. A bit more upbeat than I remember but still great haha.

[keeperdood23]

Hey this was awesome. I like the speed that you did it in. AWESOME hun

[shereen1h]

you should do a cover of 'Hurt'

[hunterdero95]

i love this song. your awesome

[Killuminati911]

nice speed!

[ydoucare38]

5 stars  easy

[linomgutierrez]

wow you have no rhythm at all. god damn is that all you do is other peoples songs.

[JerkRant]

I have rhythm... it may be bad rhythm... or awkward..and yes... why I do only sing other people's songs....

Do you only reply on other people's videos?

[RuneZ95]

Really really really Goooodd !!

[Bostonunderground12]

haha, first of all, his rhthym is fine, second of all, it doesn't matter because its solo acoustic...plus what is wrong with covers?

[KenpachiSH]

ur great =)

[garrettharrington]

That was  aweseome, man!

[CrackCityRocker2188]

hahah simon the enviromentalist

[apehodet]

great song, great cover! but it's not originally johnny cash is it? isn't it a tradtional folk thing? and moby did it, titled run on, which is what made cash want to do it?

[zaffo138]

dude that was awesome you're a badass.
