The Showdown: Carry On My Wayward Son

[Inductus]

Nicely done but I hate this new style of production - there's nothing NATURAL (no pun intended) left in it after all that pro tools rape.

[maskeddrummer213]

STILL NEEDS MORE COWBELL!!

[ekiwitch]

They had forgiven a few solos.. but they added it THE FUCKING METAL..

What the hell, this songs ROCKS HARD ! xD \m/

[MscJeff]

240p we meet again...

[simonize251]

How could you not like this? Unless your one of those arrogant ignorant snobbs that think every cover should sound just like the original. Fuck that. Nicely Done!

[fist626]

I can't decide if I like this or the original more!!!

[isaiahperrry]

I will cry some more thank you very much!

[MrBluedevil0913]

@xrealizev Rush is from canada 

[maschur1]

[iIdeoTheQue]

@maschur1

[TereyKlit]

ONE M0:00RE TIME; PLIS!!!

[xrealizev]

The showdown Breaking Benjamin and Nickel back 1 more band and i will forgive Canada for Justin Bieber

[skeletonchrist999]

@xrealizev are u kidding me, u cant find one other good band, for christ sakes dude, theres zimmers hole, beneath the massacre, baptized in blood... just keep your eyes and ears open man, theyre out there, and besides u shouldnt forgive us for justin bieber, its not our fault that talentless piece of shit usher saw him on the internet and saw an easy way to make money in a world full of people with an ear toned to crap..

[MMAPhreak21]

@xrealizev First of all, The Showdown and Breaking Benjamin are both American. The Showdown comes from Elizabethton, TN, and BB comes from Wilkes-Barre, PA. Canada has plenty of good bands; Silverstein and Thousand Foot Krutch come to mind immediately. Then there's Alexisonfire, Arcade Fire; Canada has a great musical base.

[LizardLoverAnna]

@MMAPhreak21 Rush too of course :D

[ibanezrawker]

@xrealizev nickle "blechh"? lol anyways i agree with you lol

[JasonP407]

@xrealizev kataklysm....voivod...and now we...sadly..have to forgive canada for that prick

[skrewdreyever]

[SHADOWxOFxHATRED]

This song has what you need. More cowbell

[ShyeBlooze]

Oh I'm so fuckin' sorry I ment a Wannabe metal band, you stupid fuck

[sobritocool]

@ShyeBlooze shut the fuck up. ur just jealous becuase you made a metal mand urself and the showdown ruined it for you. they are 100 times better than you.

[ShyeBlooze]

ahem...if one more fucked up metal band does a SHIT cover of a GREAT song ima kill people.....

[hadomaru]

@ShyeBlooze then you have no problem here, as the Shodown is not a 'fucked up metal band' and this is nota 'shit cover'. Go back to your weed.

[XxLastRequieMxX]

covers are never as good as the original thats why they are covers but this one is just as epic!

[RandomGanker]

No....everyone stop saying this is shit. This is a good cover and brave to cover a song as epic as this one.

[bmxandcars]

i miss Andrew Hall.

[LWDIII]

Weird. The audio didn't work first time :/

[DavidFromHolland]

brilliant version of a brilliant song!

[jesterakatrevor5]

Took the best of the best and made it better!!! I love it!

[Drumzncymbalz]

Great cover..they made it their own..

[aquacreepydingo]

Okay. The one exception to the rule which makes it a law.... This remake IS better than the original.

[streffin]

i like the original, but since i'm a metal head, i do prefer this version.

Great song, and a great cover.

[enmudel]

original is way better, this sux

[ShionXShikaTeam]

XD love this ♥

[Knucklehead4life85]

[rarebreed210]

I really like this cover, but the orginal is pretty awesome

[Boooooom123jahsjka]

Gutes cover!

[MrPythie]

sorry the best cover is by Randy Marsh

[vegetafan09]

Love the cover but call me crazy i prefer the original

[71cKwl]

@vegetafan09

I have to agree with you on this.

[vegetafan09]

@71cKwl glad somebody does

[beefygreenapples]

EPIC

[amoxio989]

Lay your weary head to rest!!!

[Mysterii9]

Relly good cover! 

[MrBluedevil0913]

i still like the original you cant go wrong with kansas and look at the time it came out that was in the 80s

[Ozymandiaz1260]

@MrBluedevil0913

70s, actually.

[MrBluedevil0913]

@Ozymandiaz1260 o yea thats right i knew it was around the 80s 70s era

[guidoschot]

@MrBluedevil0913 and @Ozzymadiaz1260

but its still good now!!!

life in the now!!!

[sobritocool]

this song makes kansas sound like girls

[chicka321]

this is manliness...this version makes Kansas sound like a buncha pussies

[rightherewaiting666]

I like the heaviness but the guys voice just makes the song unable to be good.

[drummerknot131]

these guys are one of my favorite christian bands and this is a amazing cover.

[Voice0fSurvival]

Originals better this guys voice is just comical :)

[JoinTheDanceBreak]

@Voice0fSurvival This guy cannot reach the pitch of the guys from Kansas give him a break.

[Voice0fSurvival]

@JoinTheDanceBreak Fair dos I just don't the heavyness of it bit too over the top for my liking

[sobritocool]

dude this song rules

[gerbils4]

idk why, but his voice just totally makes this :) didnt think they pull this off, nor did i thinkitd be this awesome :D

[beefygreenapples]

3 best covers

3. Red - Ordinary World

2. The Showdown - Carry On Wayward Son

1. One Less Reason - When Doves Cry

[drummer4god4ever]

they need to play this song live!!!!

[wjlawson17]

this is amazing one of the best covers of all time... but holy diver by killswitch engage puts up a fight

[hbjohnblack]

it's okay. I still prefer the original.

[Rythesis]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKING AWESOME

[SavingPrivateCoxall]

amaze :):):)

[SueNC367]

oh, nice!

[jonnyshredfayce]

Pretty sure they're in D standard for this... anybody know for sure?

[JwSaloga]

Jus lettin you ppl who commented b4 that it wasn't any of you except ItzOnur....and if it's you reading this don't bother tryin to start am argument becuz I don't play those games

[JwSaloga]

What's really bullshit is when people talk shit on a good song, fuck people, jus cuz it's not the original band singin the song you act like it's a disgrace to humanity. These bands play their own versions of a song to show appreciation of it and then ppl call it garbage. "The original was better." well of course it was fuckin retards but it doesn't mean that a different version is trash.

[Petesama]

@JwSaloga They are entitled to their own opinion just as you are to your own :) There are people who thinks this song is garbage. So what? No matte how hard you try there will always be an opposing side ;) Just enjoy the music, don't try to change the world ^^

[ItzOnur]

fuck this -.- kansas is way better this is bullshit

[TCWstudios]

they need to start doin songs like this put screamin on hold for aa little bit i hope im not da only one who thinks this

[beefygreenapples]

love it

[DarkKevvo]

meh...i'm torn between the two. its like deciding between cake and pie

[MrCaleson]

fuckin beast song i liek this one better than the original

[phunagewine]

so much frustation

[tazz3001]

i love the solo

[1995supersam]

i like bot versions if yu wanna jam listen to this one if yu just wanna relax listen to the one by kansas =] =]

[Railfan88]

I like the Showdowns version better!!!!!!!!!!

[Endzeitpoeten]

Very angry version of this song... but I like it...

"On a stormy sea of moving emotion / tossed about I`m like a ship on the ocean / I set a course for winds of fortune / but I hear the voices say..."

I could be sung in an angry way....

[lonewolf7999]

I crank this song all the time in the car and it just sounds more sweeter every time I hear it!!

[xinvokex]

sweet cowbell.

[Andrade830]

BEEF!

[beefygreenapples]

So much better then the original

[AtomHeartGuy]

@beefygreenapples Are you kidding??

[beefygreenapples]

@Does it sound like i'm kidding?

[plexnoid]

Nice interpretation! I still prefer the original, but I can respect the personal twist that The Showdown has put on it.

[SirWalldo]

Well I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinions.. Have you hear their new album. It's pretty rad...

[SirWalldo]

@fufufufufufu

It's metal dude, not exactly Kansas any more Dorothy....

The dude's got pipes in my opinion...

[yarrrmatey]

It sounds like the guy from smashmouth is trying to make a comeback.

[RockBanddrummer2009]

what an awesome version of this song

[ibanezrawker]

best version yet!

[tycoon45]

epic

[TheDarkRenegade]

very niccceeee

[kenshin4227]

surprisingly i am really impressed!

[BabyBlueEyed1]

I have to say i love this version...Its even better than the original

[Iceman3524]

i would have to disagree about better. But it is good.

[BabyBlueEyed1]

@Iceman3524 It really has to do with what type of music a person likes and I prefer the rock element they have added to this song....

[Iceman3524]

Yes, i agree. I prefer Kansas' sound to this.

[BabyBlueEyed1]

@Iceman3524 I like the fact you have an opinion about music and this is good music

[Iceman3524]

Im gad you dont assert your opinion and demean those who dont agree with it. And yes, this is good music.

[BabyBlueEyed1]

@Iceman3524 Honey why would I demean you for your own personal taste. I was raised to respect the opinion of others even it was not my own...Lol this is great music!!

[Iceman3524]

I've met many people who insult you for your opinion. I was raised that way too! Lol. You like any other great bands?

[BabyBlueEyed1]

@Iceman3524 Depends on what bands you think are great lol... Avenged Sevenfold, Rev Theory, Shinedown, Crossfade, Hurt, Breaking Benjamin, CCR, 10 years and many many more..Which ones do you enjoy.

My dad would never forgive me I did not respect others lol.

[Iceman3524]

Journey, Queen, Foreigner, blessthefall, Escape The Fate, CCR, Second Thief, Theocracy, Hawk Nelson, Styx. And a lot more. I listen to almost anything but rap and country.

Well, let's hope you do respect others. Wouldn't want that would we?

[BabyBlueEyed1]

@Iceman3524 Lol oh I have my days buy usually its a person who deserves to be told off :)

Very good music ...Any new stuff that you like

[Iceman3524]

Alot of people deserve that don't they?

ummm......new music?

Skillet is newer. And so is Black Veil Brides. And This Romantic Tragedy. They're all good. So is Blessed By A Broken Heart.

[BabyBlueEyed1]

Yea alot of people do..You like some really good music ..I will check out This Romantic Tragedy I have never heard of them any other suggestions

[Iceman3524]

Thank you, you do too. I love This Romantic Tragedy.

Uh......It Dies Today is good. And so is Red. And I really like Blessed By A Broken Heart.

[BabyBlueEyed1]

I like red about the rest I will give a try ...Lol I love learning of new music

[Iceman3524]

Red is good. but they unfortunately only have two albums out. My favorite song by them is Death of Me.

Me too!

[BabyBlueEyed1]

I love that song lol!! Any that you have discovered and have became huge and than it ruined it for you

[Iceman3524]

ummmm.....what?

[BabyBlueEyed1]

Found a new band that you liked and when they hit it big it just wasnt the same

[Iceman3524]

oh! well...that hasnt really happened to me. but i do hate bands that are just tota sell outs.

[BabyBlueEyed1]

You and me both ..and there have been a few that i cant listen to anymore

[Verona5908]

good song

however nowhere close to kansas

[SirBladewind]

@Verona5908 Course. Kansas is an amazing band. But this is a good song.

[mrcrazylove]

I've been out of the loop for awhile. I didnt know The Showdown covered this song!

Amazing cover!!

[UnrestRocks]

Sure his vocals are no where near the amazingness of Kansas, but the way i see a cover is, a band takes the song and makes it their own take on it. His vocals are and amazing miz with all the instrumentation. Great cover guys keep it up.

[SlaughterSolutionPro]

this cant beat the origonal [srry about my spelling]

[RockPlayer95]

this song cover is the best!!

[ThomasDMatthewsno2]

@RockPlayer95 I agree! Fuck, they should play this cover on 96.1 rock!

[goldenchicken243]

i could listen to this song over and over again

[Chrysis161]

Comparable to the original, the guys vocals arent nearly as good as the lead singer of Kansas, but this isnt the type of song where that really matters, its all about the words and the music. enjoy!

[Madaevilc]

music is pretty awesome, i dont go much on the vocal work, altho its not really fair to compare this guys vocals to kansas

[562duke]

this is one of those great covers

[Noctilius]

amazing cover

[FroggerSplat911]

Ur Vocals Sux! Other Then that not bad.. =D

[WiiStarStudio]

this cover is great bur the original is better ;)

[Crush40roxsox]

oh... my... god... this song has inspired me to start writing awesome metal songs again!

[AustinTCV]

God This Cover Is SicK!

[theirishjew]

Nice!

[Bulldogfan401]

i like this one better than the original

[drumguy4u]

yeah, i d have to say i like this one better. but kansas gets my respect.

[ChildrenOfBodomGODS]

fuckin awesome cover !! 5/5

[MrHolypoop]

I F'IN LOVE THIS SONG!!! both versions are the shiz!!!!

[NipplesMagee]

Epic!

[ZiggaZlick]

i personally love this verson better cuz its heavier but i agree respect to kansas man

[goodandevil11]

An amazing cover!

But nothing ever tops the original.

=]

[SilvrbckEMG]

usually. most of the covers ive heard hav been better than the originals.

[sarahbryant44]

you have to give them credit. its still extremely similar to the original but they just put some of their stuff onto it. it really does sound good if you pay attention to it. all the instruments make it so much better.

[MonstersNightmare]

I love this one. I respect the original. Because it was by Kansas!!!

[jacobislucas]

I ABSOLUTLY LOVE THE FIRST ONE. but i started to move to more harder things and this is right up my alley./ but i alwasy still listen too the origenall all the time

[Ender400]

What a travesty this is.

Anyone who think is better than the original...or that it;s even good...you're a fucking moron with no taste.

[NipplesMagee]

lol, This guy is Fucking Lame.

[Xguitarist676]

How the fuck are you gonna bash someone's OPINION?

[SilvrbckEMG]

did u mean me? i wasnt bashing ne1's opinion, just staing mine.

[Egerspurge]

What have they done?

[pmankillinspree]

I got this CD from my friend. Probably my favorite song on there.

[Satansgoat666]

better than original

[DarkSectorMaster]

awsome song

[GuitaringKingSean]

I like the cover, I think they done a good job, but his voice sounds processed to fuck and back

[sarahbryant44]

this is absolutely amazing. anyone that says/thinks differently has no ears. haha for real.

[t456t4567]

this is suckey i like the feel of it but it dosnt even come close to kansas

[vlrbcaixeta]

they manage to take one of the best rock songs ever and turn it into a peace of SHIT.

If you want a really good version of this song check out Malmsteen's one.

[coolporter2]

i still think this is the best one out there atm =o

[CoheedFreak06]

@vlrbcaixeta you spelled "piece" wrong. your opinion is now invalid.

[Nothingineternity]

@vlrbcaixeta Malmsteen took a heartfelt song and sapped the motion out of it these guys managed to rock it up a bit more and still have the emotion in the song. Malmsteen made it like all of his other songs emotionless. That's why I dislike Malmsteen's music.

[Mayerthorpe]

this would be a much better version for rock band

[wjlawson17]

better then Kansas version...

[1238654321]

COWBELL!!!

[slashoman998]

hit that cowbell!

[MetallAndy]

Great cover!!!!! I wanna learn this version on guitar...

[HeartofTheWarrior555]

Great Cover!!

[DvdExod]

I love this song and I love the Showdown's cover. Don't get me wrong, I like Kansas' version too but I don't know. The Showdown's cover has more passion and feeling in my opinion.

[lesbianseegullmaster]

im not tryin to knock ur opinion coz i think the same as you, but, if kansas had the technology back then the showdown did when when they recorded this there'd be more expression n stuff coz on newer material (on any artist) i find the instruments seem more "fuller" if u get me, great song tho :D

[KingKj52]

I completely agree. The old guitars, it wasn't the instruments, but the amps/speakers/recording material.

I love this song though.

I wish Kansas could remake this, :P

Great song, no matter which of the two bands do it.

[golden1324]

"Great song, no matter which of the two bands do it."

True dat

[Superapeaholic]

yea..this song is fuller and heavier cause technology has come a long way.. listen to judas priest then and now

[lesbianseegullmaster]

yeah I understand that, i even mentioned tech in my comment, priest are mint too XD
