these kind of home-made cover videos usually suck balls...and I totally expected this one to as well, but....much to my surprise......great job. You even sound like Alex, but, as Paula Abdul would say, ``you made it your own``.....
Man, if you are a fan of Big Star... and you see this, you're ready to pounce but you are very good! Well done! Nice surprise. Great voice and you've got the pretty pretty guitar sound down as well.
Well done mate. Believe it or not, but I asked a street singer in Omaha, NE to play this song, and he played the entire song without missing a beat.....while he and I traded off singing leads and harmonies. Couldn't believe it. Goes to show you that Omaha has a pretty cool music scene.
Very pleasant surprise. Liked the high/falsetto bits in the vocals- you really nailed them. Any chance of a "Stroke it Noel" cover- thats my other favourite Chilton/Big Star song,

Hi Nick - thats very kind of you.We will do a quick vid for you with the chords slowed down. I'm no good at chord names so we will get something across to you showing my hand from a better angle. Take care. Joe.
