Doesn't Make It Alright - The Specials

[Kernowexile]

Yeah love it!



[revpgesq]

love this cover of the anti-thuggery, pro-personal repsonsibilty, anti-discrimination, jammin' anthem of the Specials. cannot tell you how many times this song has come up in counseling folks. :-) just cause you want it, or it might make you happy...doesn't make it all right. it's the worst excuse in the world, and ...it doesn't make it all right! :-)

[punkandoi69]

[killallneds]

[masturfulattlife]

[privatehelluk]

I've played my bass along to this video many times, its great mate! You should post "Why?" up!

[rasta1982]

Awesome. Glad I could be of service. "Why" is my other most favorite Specials song. Words ring true.

[nightscape124]

[blades92]

its amazing if i dont say so myself:)

[rasta1982]

Really? I like Stiff Little Fingers. I'll have to check it out. ThanX for the support! All my stuff is arranged into playlists for your enjoyment.

Adios from San Diego.

[jaredcoleere]

[rasta1982]

G - D - C of sorts...

Breakdown starts at Em - D - C - Bm

Something like that

[jaredcoleere]

[rasta1982]

I figured it out myself but I might be able to put chords up.

[jaredcoleere]

Any Way you did good keep it comeing don't stop spread the message.

[rasta1982]

Very much appreciated and sorry about the delayed response. I do love the old school r n' b and rocksteady; that's the Jamaica sounds for me. Come check out some of my newer Musical Misadventures sometime. I have everything sorted into playlists.

Peace.

[rasta1982]

Will do. Gracias por tus piensamientos.

[VanSpeedwagon]

I have to admit...I really dug that, and I'm pretty picky. Thanks for the post, and the song was a good choice.

[rasta1982]

Glad you enjoyed it. It's my favorite Specials song. I try and pick songs that people don't expect. Check some of my newer songs sometime. Peace.

[billybop65]

Im crap on the guitar but if I was good I would try this tune. One of the best Specials tunes ever. This was an excellent version. Good taste in music I have to say.

[rasta1982]

Why thanX. I'd like to eventually cover "Why" but time is always running short. Check out some of my other misadventures sometimes. Peace.

[steveislazy]

that was great 1 for me to learn cheers

[rasta1982]

Glad I could be of service. Peace.

[jemlocks]

I love watching this vid, you just bring back the specials. I play guitar and would love to learn this, do you have the basic chords? I will work out the rest. Keep up the good work!!

[rasta1982]

I figured it out... Something variations of:

G - C - D (Em for the change)

D - C - Bm - Am - G (When it slides down)

[jemlocks]

Cheers for that, simple yet brilliant!!

[rasta1982]

That and thanX for the vote of confidence. If you need more help, let me know. Come check some of my newer vids some time.

Peace.

[herbieherbz1]

Sweet!

[rasta1982]

ThanX. I've got some English Beat concert footage and Mikey Dread in the studio recording with my friends Iration too.

[jaredcoleere]

OMG your well mint man theres not enough stars for me to rate you. its worth more than five stars its mint!

[rasta1982]

Very much appreciated. Come check out some of my other random selections some time. Peace.

[tigidap]

[Donbrashear]

Good video mate. Great song.

Is that the specials version or stiff little fingers?

[rasta1982]

You said Stiff Little Finger! Love that band! But it's the Specials version. Enjoy your Turkey Massacre Day!

[sexysoi6]

good stuff!

[rasta1982]

Appreciated!

[Classikpunk1976]

badass dude

[rasta1982]

Damn... Check the vid I just found of this song live in My Favorites.

[tatooselhefe]

hey rasta what happened?

[rasta1982]

Fucking work man and moved back home after my failed attempt at moving to the Philippines. Don't worry though... I'm going to the studio Sunday and am working on an indie film soundtrack with my bro. Send me your email and I'll send you what I've got going when I finish.

[ckd1]

man you do great covers

[rasta1982]

Appreciated... I have originals, but I try to keep them off here. YouTube is more just practice for me... Click the MySpace link in the description to check my sound. What's up with your band?

[949883]

cool, a more melodic version, and solo...gr8

[2tone69]

good stuff,from somebody tuned 2 2tone

[rasta1982]

Check it... Just went to see the Aggrolites play today and am currently uploading vids from the entire acoustic set at Lou's Records in Encinitas, CA... Going to a Pepper BBQ in a bit where my boys are playing and will get more footage. Peace.

[Pacquaio]

Now that's a very impressive version of the song, well done

[rasta1982]

Sweet... This song and "Why" are my favorite Specials songs. Now hook me up with a San Mig light, strong, ice, and I'll take a Red Horse and Tanduay while you're at it. ThanX!

[FILTHYFAKE]

COOL.. I like your tunes on myspace..

[rasta1982]

Much appreciated. I haven't been able to get to my friend's studio in quite some time (read: a closet w a mic, some amps, and ProTools on his computer). So I figured I'd get a webcam for $20 for in between visits. Now a lot more people can see me instead of just practicing in my room. But as of late I've been traveling and going to a lot of shows in lieu of my own performances. I should do something about that...

[FILTHYFAKE]

hey great version of one of my fave songs! you should check my version out on you tube.. its the only cover we do in my band (FILTHY CAKE). thanks, martin.(guitar)

[boonhi]

A damned good job i must say! One of my favorite Specials songs by far! and you do it well!

[rasta1982]

This song and "Why" are my favorite... I hope to cover that soon. ThanX for the support.

[chipsnfish1]

yo rudeboy got a tab :D

[rasta1982]

Sorry, I do not... Figured it out and I'm in the Philippines w limited time to tab it out. Sorry.

[chipsnfish1]

cant find it on the internet anywhere :( lol

[SouthCentralVARudie]

very rude :D

[rasta1982]

Neo-rude boy. Thanks.

[chipsnfish1]

ur fucking quality m8 got a tab for this get back to me thanx nash

[rasta1982]

Much appreciated. In the Philippines right now w/o a guitar so new vids on hold. I think I might have the chords somewhere on my external harddrive, but not for the solo. Had to mess around a bit to figure it out

[guigomora]

sounds good!! i'll check at ur vids

[rasta1982]

Orale pues.

[roadhockey]

Is that an unfolded copy of Pearl Jam No Code on the wall behind you?

[rasta1982]

Nope... Pearl Jam is on the other side of the room. "Lost Dogs." I used to have more covers but my CD collection has been stolen 3 times. Two books of 200 and one of 100. The insurance co.s made me send in all the booklets as proof.... And now then they dropped me.

[cheveuxman]

the way you play it plus the sound of your amp it makes it sounds reggae/rock . nice . well i don't know this song but it's a The Specials one so it must be ska I guess . you should try Too Much Too Young by The Specials

[rasta1982]

Yeah... Was toying around with some new settings on my effects board. This is my favorite Specials song with the 45" mix of "Ghost Town" a close second.

[tatooselhefe]

great song!

[rasta1982]

Glad you enjoyed it... I'll hit you back with Pulp Fiction in a bit.

[tanker242]

What sorda amp you using? Solid State? please reply to my msg so I get an email ;)

[rasta1982]

YouTube tripping out, been tryin to post: Line 6 Spyder 2x12 with a Line POD Pro Rackmount. Super stoked.
