RacerX - Godzilla

[Brokephi316]

This rocks LIVE!!!

[godgodgodzilla]

You´re both right men!, I just was taken aback by the news but don´t take me wrong, I still LOOOVE IT check out my username haha, the song is a killer one, and the whole album is just amazing , It's just that is strange when u listen to a song for long time and then somebody tell you that's not the original one, it happened to me many times, I can't remember a good example, but "I'll be around" by "Richie kotzen" (originally by The Spinners) hit me like a bucket of cold water

[godgodgodzilla]

i never knew this was a cover, so disappointed, was one of my favorites..

[molomono]

@godgodgodzilla Why would this being a cover change anything?

Racer x preserves the original spirit and musically improves the whole lot, same goes for the Angel Dust cover of Temple of the king by Dio.

[420Slaterson]

@godgodgodzilla Did you know that All Along the Watch Tower by Jimi Hendrix is a cover of a Bob Dylan song? Or that Crossroads by Cream is a cover of a Robert Johnson song? Respect by Aretha Franklin was by Otis Redding at first, and Elvis's Hound Dog was by Big Mama Thorton. Covering a song doesn't mean you lack creativity. The way Racer X did this song is brilliant in my mind. I was familiar with Blue Oyster Cult's version, but I didn't even recognize it was a cover until the singer came it.

[akemoguy]

this version is better sorry BOC

love ya but this fuckin rocks

[VanishaGlamChick6]

Paul could destroy cities with song !!!

[gunnerboy773]

Paul is Godzilla!

[ftwopointeight]

My girlfriend masturbates to this cover.

I'm just sayin'...

[semskate]

@ftwopointeight You should masturbate your girlfriend while this song is playing.

I'm just sayin'...

[RenegadeShorts]

@ftwopointeight You think that's awesome? Mine just had sex with Paul Gilbert...

:(

[soupdujur]

Nice version!

[bcoffin12345]

Awesome cover, but @3:28, as with the original, I just wish the instrumental would go on for a little bit longer. Seems to end too abruptly. But that's just a nitpick. Love this tune, and love this cover. Somewhere beneath the sea, the King of Monsters is banging his head to it.

[THEBIGJOBE]

Not bad. like the rythym of this one better then BOC but the singing of BOC sounds better.

[ghosted760]

And I thought the Blue OC version was good. This version just KILLS.

[draghetto93]

who is the singer?



[HardRocker600]

Epic intro bass solo.

[blagozlatev]

@HardRocker600 Well it's not a bass intro. If you see the live performance you'll see that this is actually Paul Gilbert using his guitar in a very low tuning. It's something like Drop C with a 0.66 string for a 6th string.

[corremaderoketearreo]

@blagozlatev I think I remember i´ts a 7 strings guitar. Anyway, the most low note is B. Drop C doesn´t exist!

[Clonk93]

@corremaderoketearreo you can drop it to where you want.. espeacially in death metal they tune how they like it. well this is not death metal. but listen to illdisposed man!

[flobtob]

@corremaderoketearreo It's on a 6 string, watch the live version ;)

[corremaderoketearreo]

@blagozlatev Oh, excuse me, because my english is so poor, I confuse Drop with Flat. Anyway, the lower note is B. (I think I remember. I don´t have here my guitar to check)

[serginietor]

@HardRocker600 it's a guitar, but I don't blame you, it has an effing weird tuning and string set

[Nockahomer95]

From where do I know that intro?

[Arekaine]

2 people don't like picking up buses and throwing them back down

[yellownotepads]

I wish this could play as I walk around

[thebrutalisk]

This is badass \m/

[nylckittie]

Fucking DOOM!!!

[chinesedonkey14]

dude racer x is sick!

[elvarwinston]

wow this is really cool but i think fu manchu did the best cover version

[mormonjoe]

This song should be called "Tsunami"

[SpiOfTheShadows]

@mormonjoe DUDE. . . not cool, too soon, also terrible idea since this is a remake of the original song by Blue Oyster Cult. Even though you posted this one week ago, it's still too soon to even make that type of remark.

[newjerseyfan101]

@SpiOfTheShadows you nuts man. thats fuckin hilarious!

[rushpython100]

whats with the weird buttons on the top part of the bass?

[Syklenut41]

@rushpython100 those are pick up selectors

[UrSkulled]

This is fucking nuts, I love it.

[DaKatphish]

a moment of silence for those 2 souls, who had their cities completely leveled by Godzilla himself

[motleycrue24]

wow this is amazingly better than the original

[cycoslayer69]

why does he have a bass in the picture?

[TheMostEpicFilms]

@cycoslayer69 probably because that's the bassist?

[MetalKen]

@cycoslayer69

Thats John Alderate, bassist for Racer X & The Mars Volta.

[6rock2]

I like Blue Oyster Cult's version better.

[IbanezLk]

@6rock2 i would have to agree

[monsterpistol2000]

Godzilla the god of all monsters!!!!!

[RedxLightning4694]

this is like musical apocolypse

[BombsonBicycles]

woo sinister. is paul in drop C here?

[CodeRosario]

@BombsonBicycles Sounds like pontentailly standard A

[SamBellGuitar]

@BombsonBicycles I think he used a 7 string, with drop A on this. It is sinister! Heavy stuff!

[MetalKen]

@SamBellGuitar

6 string in Drop A on the live DVD.

[ComfortablyMuffin]

@SamBellGuitar .66 gauge Low E tuned standard -2 steps or drop C.

[TaxideaTaxis]

@ComfortablyMuffin This isnt drop C....it's like drop A

[ComfortablyMuffin]

@TaxideaTaxis No kidding. I must have mistaken for another vid with all the posting I do.

[newjerseyfan101]

@TaxideaTaxis b probably

[torped0vegas]

gold, love the guitar sound

[Mr360Sam]

holy shit, that is an EPIC cover!

[Goobag]

Holy shit. That is the business. One of the best covers I've ever heard. RacerX are the gods. Paul is all over this. The lead parts are sexy as fuck.

[C00Lcat69]

makes me go yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah

[Blademaster7777777]

hi! thats Blue Oyster Cult's !

[neubauer9]

2:08fuckin' orgasm

[AntHraXUltran00blet]

This next song will take a little imagination on your part...

[Thirdgen83]

Buck WHO??!...

[laragunner123]

just..........A W E S O M E

[bitchslapper12]

Such an amazing tone and FUCKING AMAZING tone on Paul's guitar!

[qwerki666]

This is just fucking awesome.

[METALHEADIN702]

holy shit i love this version.

[stixx2000]

Nah

[mikey420247]

pretty rad

[khatezcreamssz18]

any cover of this song? i like racer x style!

[OneAgeingRocker]

VI-KING-GODZILLA-MONSTER-TASTI­C!

[v0lquete]

i love dead mans shoes

[DeanKreger]

go go Godzilla!

[blind082008]

needs more cowbell

[dave4378]

Hahaha "yes, i am THE Bruce Dickinson". Hahaha classic.

Great cover.

[IMaiden23]

@blind082008 LOL

[jorgenson1717]

@blind082008 wrong song

[platinumshadow1]

@blind082008 that would be dont fear the reaper

[Darfaultner]

@platinumshadow1 By Blue Oyster Cult, as in the guys that wrote this song. Come on, that's amusing.  Besides, if you were at all knowledgeable in music you would realise that this song also needs more cowbell... It's obvious.

Bruce Dickinson knows.

[CGK579]

@Darfaultner dude that's awesome! haha

[JakeRipperguitar19]

@blind082008 MO COWBIELL! XC

[Gecko7291971]

@blind082008 Actually, this version needs to be buried

I'm sorry but I like B.O.C.'s version much better

[Killzor420]

@Gecko7291971 troll

[shanesreallycool]

@Gecko7291971 if they would have covered it like most bands do and just play it exactly the same as the original i would agree. but racer x actually made it sound different making it worthing of awesome

[Gecko7291971]

@shanesreallycool Sorry, chief, but I'd have to disagree

From my prospective, they ruined the song

[joseneid]

@blind082008

oh, you caught the fever too?

[ineeddrugs135]

@blind082008 if blind082008 wants more cowbell we should probably give him more cowbell.

[dave4378]

I'll bet....

[Diffle]

Viking Kong is one of my favorites by them

[lordkain132]

Best song of the 80s

[Wiegraf768]

Superheros by Racer X was released in November 2000. =\

[BurnRoddy]

Yeah and the original version from Blue Oyster Cult was released in 1977. =\

[bobopatchigglerrulez]

if you average 2000 and 1977 then you get 1988.5 so the two songs collectively... never mind

[gibsonSG011]

@bobopatchigglerrulez wow ur either really stoned or where about to say some deep shit lol

[AlexRaymond19]

ha bet you feel dumb

[noobydiablo]

from 2000.

lol fail

[stavsantis]

hahahaa rather funny!

[HalfWereHaiti]

YEAAAAAAAAAH
