Overkill by Colin Hay cover

[LanaSaurusRexx]

Great job! Keep rockin' man (:

[KombiPode]

iF YOU ARE GOING TO DO A RECORDING AND PUT IT UP ON JEWTUBE THEN WHY NOT GET A DECENT MICROPHONE YOU FUCKING WANKER!

[jgochoco]

@KombiPode its called not trying to make a professional recording, this was posted way before youtube was a household name, when my 5 megapixel camera was pretty top notch. take it easy "wanker", your anti-semetic comment is pretty confusing, seeing as how "jewtube" is totally free 2 use... & seein as how you took the time out of your day to go out of ur way to comment and try to spread ur negativity, Im guessin youre a pretty lonely person. Hope things change for you, smile more, hate less. :)

[KombiPode]

@jgochoco

"jewtube is free to use"

Nothing is free idiot, especially when it is owned by jews!

[Ladyburg299]

@KombiPode owned bitch!

[Trulliii]

Well sounds like Colin Hay singing...and heey:D he is it! :D

[NuraHawk]

do you have the tabs? i really want to play this song!

[AnadimSkywalker]

video qui sert a rien si on voit que un tiers des accords dommage :( car le son est bon

[KyogresWrath]

where di you get the tabs

[Revelnoc]

Sorry but the Lipsynk dosent do it for me, how about your real voice'!!!!!!!!

[jgochoco]

??? no lip synch here... thx i guess, if youre saying it sounds too good to be me singing! if the sound is off from the video in terms of timing, its cause i used an old casio 5MP camera in video mode to record it. But I assure you, its all me, which isnt hard to believe, at least for me, as I hear many many little flaws with both the playing and the singing! someone once lip & guitar synched to MY video's audio, put it on youtube, now THAT WAS A TRIP & a compliment i guess! :)

[DrZombieKiller]

@Revelnoc how cud u think that is lip sync? This guy is good but he is no Colin Hay. No offence jgochoco

[jgochoco]

@DrZombieKiller none taken, i just enjoy that people generally think its on the upper half of the good/bad opinions :)

[kravann]

wow this literally blows y cover out of the water.. mine dosent have vocals... i play the guitar for them instead...

[jgochoco]

@kravann thx man!!!

[fullonfatty]

amazing !

please send me the tab if u can or a link or something .

[angieluvsthing]

could you please tab that? There's some chords in there i just can't get!!

[jgochoco]

I have the tabs that I used to play it on the detailed information screen on this one, or maybe the other version that I did, it was from a gent in australia, and it was the best sounding/easiest playing and most fun way to play it that I found. hopefully its still up there, I owe it all to whoever posted that version, which is much better than the ones that were around on the major tab sites, at least back when I played this one, I'll save it just in case the site gets shut down.check the top!

[cyber797]

Omg! When you first started singing i thought oh he's playing to the vocal version of overkill. then later in the song i realised, wait is this really Colin Hay? At first i really thought that it was Colin singing.

You are really good at immitating Colin Hay and have a great voice!!

[jgochoco]

thank you, there seems to be only a lot of aussies still listening to colin these days, its always nice when an american or someone from somewhere else is looking for his music (or people showing some respect for him), Colin is truly an inspiration for me! :)

[cyber797]

Actually i'm from sweden :) And you're welcome.

[50033836]

Guitar's a bit out of tune for the song, but an amazing voice!! :D

[jgochoco]

i know, it always sounds that way to me when Im playing, but i can never seem to get it to sound right, even with many different autotuners. this one may have just been me adjusting to whatever matched the out of tune guitar, but oh well, its all just for fun anyways! :)

[Detman101]

Awesome cover man!

=]

Dm

[jgochoco]

thx! :)

[PhysicianMasquerade]

Really nice!..

[jgochoco]

thx, how is it in venezuela

[angieluvsthing]

that wasn't you singing??

[jgochoco]

yeah, it was... :)?

[AzXZer0]

your voice is really great

[jgochoco]

thx, u in phx?

[Bezza9footy]

Brilliant Voice!

[jgochoco]

thx bezza!

[jakeskinner52]

hey dude, great yab, this is ona my favorite songs ever

[leokill27]

good but two things.

1. your stumming pattern was out, and yes i know its a cover and i loved the extra note you added. but it sounded odd outof time

2. this is mainly for mikeknight4u, but if im not mistake, you were'nt singing correct??

[cometoanend]

he did very very good, you ASSHOLE. You sound as if you have the I.Q. of a gnat. Why dont YOU do better? because you CANT! This guy has an incredible voice. So don't knock it if you cant do better.

[asskroshambo]

hey man, chill, its called constructive criticism. not only pros who can do better can give it, its what the layman thinks and from someone elses perspetive, and if you can't apreciate this, then dont comment on others.

[mikeknight4u]

Wow. That was fantastic! Your singing style reminds me alot of John Mayer. The strumming rhythm you did with the song kind of gives it a Brazilian feel to it.  I wish I could sing like you!

[Smallenface]

Best cover i have seen, i'll post my cover too when i finish it :)

[guitarsrock137]

well done that was brilliant good singin!

[Numanelo]

wow nice, you're a real great singer

[gotoeish]

good job

[firsequall1]

sound very good mate!

[stmonday02]

Damn good!

[SbenTreal]

! that's great! :)

[ozzyxyz10]

first i thought its colin singing

[Aengoth1]

very very good dude :)

[buffcouch]

it does sound good....maybe...too good >[

[jgochoco]

what do you mean by too good? :)

[buffcouch]

well i dont really care too much so i didnt really check for sure but it sounds like you jsut lip sung colins live acoustic version. if you didnt, wow dude perfect. if you did....lol congrats give me a winky face

[jgochoco]

whoo hoo, thats probably the best compliment yet, thx! ;)

some dude from spain actually lip synched himself playing to this video or my other ones audio, that was kind of weird, when I asked him about it kinda joking around, he just took it down and never said anything... i would have rather he left it up, it made me feel special.

[vmtrhamburg]

I love your voice! I really do :)

Nice job...plz check out my cover of the song - thanks ;-)

[sportcrzy0]

ver very very very good. try playing on a classical guitar. thats how he does it. trust me. i play guitar

[tak3030]

nice voice!

[wolfgirl234]

This is my favourite song and you made it even better. Your playing and timing was perfect and I envy your skill. You should be proud of it and I wish I could sing half as well! xxxx

[jgochoco]

@wolfgirl234 thank you! sorry to take so long to reply! :)(

[Luisnmoni]

Nice job...my favorite M@W song...

[AnarchalPatriarch]

This was really good, both guitar playing and singing. Great job!

[jesuscookies123]

[jgochoco]

[AppleMoonSauce]

Wow dude, that sounds really, really good. You sound a lot like him. Guitar is perfect. A++++ Great work.

[Badmolar]

[omfgstfulolzwtfidk]

Very nice =-)

[Joseav16]

[guysarfaty]

Wow! I like this more than his. Great 5/5

[jgochoco]

thx, but nothing touches the original imho!

[18aholic]

wow. you sound just like him! :) this is really a great cover.

[TommySeanF]

very nice, keep it up!

[lorddismay]

i like it alot man. good voice too. that kinda sets you aside. im trying to learn this song now myself but i still blow. havein trouble already on the 1st chords after the intro thingy. maybe post a tutorial? haha

[ptweezie713]

im not trying to be mean but the chords are so simple that a tutorial wont help, you just gotta practice till you get em down.

again im not trying to be mean i've been exactly where you are before

[abrookins2008]

nice job man. i love this song and you played it really well. 5 star job. =]

[Tapxin]

Nice job. That's such a great song. What strumming pattern did you use?

[marl0n91]

Awesome! I'm just having trouble with that "ghosts appear bit" at the moment but you've absolutely nailed the whole song!! Great stuff :D

[jgochoco]

well thanks.. i didnt really play the whole song, i missed the solo and a verse... but that part is also the trickiest for me too. :)

[Charlii931603]

dude fucking yes that was awsome could you please post the chords or where you got it from

[jgochoco]

thx man, check my other version info, its got the links to the tab or you can probably figure it out from the video, I played it a little different and slower

[punkerkid1880]

Well done man

Im thinkin of doin a cover but it'll sound weird cuz imma kid but yeah

awsome job sounds just like colin

[jgochoco]

THANKS! do it, post it up! look at the version two i put for the tabs in the description. ..

[SuperJordan08]

[HARDCORESTR8EDGE]

really awesome job!!! I love overkill, I feel alot better knowing Im not the only one singing this song. Again great job!

[jgochoco]

thanks! the singing was kind of quiet like someone else said, I was in my room at like 3am and didn't want to wake up the roommates...

[useless6969]

[jgochoco]

thx, i need to fix my guitar, the neck piece that holds the strings in place snapped :(

[DraxDhampir]

Great job ^^

[Hypurman1]

Yeah dude, this isn't bad at all. Really good job. Spot on. Work on your breathing a bit though.

[Oegly]

Indeed not bad :D

[NinThai]

[NicoleMartin1]

Singing in your head voice... Get some gut behind your voice.

[Narutotjuhh]

the guitar could be better, but your voice, wow dude O_O i'm speachless _O_

[Verrucktwulf]

[yamiam91]

[xoZOEobSCENExo]

You have a looooverly voice. [:

This sounds really awesome.

You could easily match up to the original.

[atvrider7]

both your attempts are great, each one with its own unique flare.

[darkunitx]

I like your voice. :D

[noahsarkkingdomheart]

your voice is a little similar to his and you're badass on that guitar

[Hazard1556]

Cool!

[emilyguitardrums]

[tbeep]

Nice job on the vox! I sat down and learned this the minute I saw it on "Scrubs"! HAHAHA! :)

[Pinkpeach15]

[emilyguitardrums]

[kustom4004]

really good fun to play this song, good job man keep it up!

[nednick06]

pretty good but where's the solo? :S

[gamerguy00]

True, true, but the solo is a bit hard, I think. I, myself, want to learn this song. Just wondering, does anyone know where to find tabs?

You voice is very much like his, only a liiiittle bit darker I think. Awsome cover, among my favorites"!

[jgochoco]

thanks very much! i put the tab link in the other video description, check it out and throw your version up here! I am completly stage frightened, i can only play to a blind audience with youtube. it allows my to get my voice out where I would never have had the courage to do it live in front of people!

[Dhakar]

nice playin and a good voice!

[clarkparker27]

very nice

[jgochoco]

thanks clark your stuff is pretty awesome!

[masterwardle]

hey man i love that song, good job dude :)

[somniumai]

You did great with the song, i am envyous. So Anyway where did you get the tabs I am trying to learn it..If you could tell me that would sweet

[kearnsmark]

[MissCerealKiller]

Excellent work! I've been a Hay fan for over 20 years....and your version sounds great. Keep it up! Blessings + Steph

[mandotim]

Nice work...is that C sharp minor there? That is a fun song to play

[jgochoco]

not sure about the name of the chord.. I found another tab that sounds better on the chorus, check my version 2, I kinda show the chords more.. thanks!!!

[loveislost88]

I love this song. youhave an awesome voice... very smooth, didn't crack, was on tune, and is altogether quite pleasant :)

[lubbadub]

Not breaking any new ground...

great voice, playing gets better throughout, you're pretty talented.

I'd love to know where you got the tabs for this song, if you've still got the reference.

[rowenlemming]

Absolutely awesome. Great voice, especially, and accompaniment was anything but weak. Keep at it mate, you've got talent.

[jgochoco]

hey, thanks a lot!

[Drakken25]

same Colin Hay

[suspendedchaos]

It sounds much better if you strum with your hand rather than a plectrum, I've found.

[Ferender]

hmmm your voice is good but the guitar kinda sucks @ start

[bloodmonk74]

yep quite ok so far

[koen90]

where did you get this tab???

[jgochoco]

just google search "Overkill Tab" and try out as many as you can, then create your own version!

[Deanread]

Well done. I love this song

[FSUtdog]

Very well done! Thank you.

[cripplar]
