Estranged (Guns N Roses) Cover by Gareth Rhodes/axl77

[herco7819]

It's one of my favourites too. The acoustic guitar really works well

[herco7819]

Brilliant version. Different to the original but excellent

[axl77]

@herco7819 The original version of Estranged is possible my favourite song ever written. Essentially, this version is simply a tribute to that.

[rockAndmetal765789]

you need to in guns n roses!

[davejimbobjim]

KOBIBA + Gareth should do civil war, that would be awesome!

[axl77]

@davejimbobjim I'd gladly participate in a collab with the great Kobiba.

[1geeeable]

dude u r freaking awesome!! one of the best cover I have ever heard!! amazing!! keep rocking mate! \m/

[d3fepona]

Man I love this song, and I try and cover all types of different types of music. Let me just say, that this is one of the best cover's I've ever seen - peroid.

[Tigre395]

bravo une belle reprise ! :)

[felokinhah]

Large version, for me better than the original Guns, you let the music tranquilha much lighter and made​like Guns 'November Rain' because it is not anyone who can do a song with more than nine minutes and turn it in a work of art

Congratulations, you could

i've watched other your videos, more to me this is the best its , more a fan of Brazil.

[alexbyrd12]

@felokinhah Dude he is amazing but there is no one in the world who can sings Guns tunes better the Axl Rose!

[TIZI8493]

Excellent cover, man..it isn't easy..i love the final part!!

[ax7guns]

o por dios ! pero que gran cover (L)

[mdekq007]

[titunovergod]

[colbysanders64]

I may be in the minority here,but I like your real voice better than the Axl voice! Dont get me wrong.You do an awesome Axl,but your real voice has a smoothness to it that I love! Excellent!

[axl77]

@colbysanders64 Thank you for saying that :) I love to do the Axl thing , but it's great to hear there's people out there that prefer me using my own singing style :)

[odiesback]

Very clean and did the song justice.. Thumbs up!

You keep on impressing me everytime i hear a new one from ya. this is the best of Estranged i have ever heard!!!!

[barberryman]

Damn! Just Damn!!!!!!!!!

[revitup24]

I really enjoyed your version of "Estranged" and the ending of the song was spectacular. Thanks, Gareth, for sharing this music with us. Best, Revi from Long Beach, California.

[9clintalio]

I've been a GnR fan from the beginning, this is the greatest cover of Estranged I've ever heard. Prior to listening to it I was like "Oh no, Buddy is gonna F*** up my fav GnR tune". Sorry man, I was wrong. Now that's doing a tune justice. I don't share much on Facebook, but I shared this. Clint Nabz.

[lili881523]

Woooow!!!! <3

[DaJasperx3]

Thumbs up if you want Kobiba performing a GnR song with axl77

[231Twix231]

Can you sent me the tabs?

[newgnr]

being able to watch such wonderful covers makes me hate SOPA even more!

[Axlgunner100]

dude tell me, what is your favorite Guns song?

Axlgunner, Portugal

[PatateDrogueii]

You have an awesome voice ...

[jordanpopov1]

it,s incredible...better than the original. man, you are 1 of greatest things i,ve seen in youtube. i got no words...incredible. greetings from spain !!

[topmik123]

... well done, great job... and when a song of your own?

[utbr1]

You've take what's out there and have Created that into a Masterpiece! I've clicked on the original authors and expected the same quality only to be sad thereafter...Peace! You're great at what you do, your voice ROCKS!

[jeaniedeans]

Its breathtaking, your great, really amazing ♥♥♥

[utbr1]

Beautiful Music done by a Rock Star!

[vaibanez17]

This is the best original style cover out there. KOBIBA and axl77 rule.

[LoftArt79]

Порадовал. очень хорошее исполнение, не все берутся за эту песню. Люблю эту песню. И УСПЕХОВ 

[mrbrownstone1891]

Holy shit , this is awesomesauce !

[dudu90tm]

woah...great gnr song and great cover :D

[Zennenen]

Fantastic vocal. I am usually no fan of covers, but this is amazing, keep it going!

[Jeanzinhpv]

' the reason of the video's popularity , in my opinion , is because of his talent, not because kobiba liked this , but it also helped a bit haha. ,

[XCandyBarrX]

I love this music :D

Thanks I'm happy now

[mvmes23]

no words to discribe the feeling..... you did the job greatfully..... gave a diferent tone to the music that matches perfeclty... keep in mind that way to play bro... its just awesome.. thank you for it ... =] like a gnr fan i whishe to aks you a song if possible... =]

[Soziospackus]

i just downloaded your cover on my computer. fuck, i'm really jealous. you really put soul into your performance and additionally you sing clean and you got good timing. but please don't go to a talent show. create something by your own :)

[VildStyle]

Good lord.

[rancidehfoda]

Amazing!! you're great!! Nice work, keep it up! :D

[axl77]

@rancidehfoda Thank you very much, it's great to know that i can contribute in some small way :) Best wishes to you, Gareth

[AndysGuitarSolos]

Thanks mate you made my day :)

[axl77]

@AndysGuitarSolos Thank you so much for letting me know, im glad to be able to have that kind of impact.

[HotNadav]

Dude Its Beautifull

i like when people change songs to their kind of style

[axl77]

@HotNadav It's great of you to let me know that you liked it. Estranged is such a beautiful, epic song, i'd hate to do a shoddy version or something that was below par. Best wishes to you, Gareth :D

[wcmaster24]

KOBIBA and axl77 would go great in a band KOBIBA in the lead guitar and axl77 in the acoustic and vocals thumbs up if u think this would be great :D

[axl77]

@wcmaster24 I'd be up for it if Kobiba would. Im sure we could do an interesting GNR collab, can peoples help make that happen?

[1SatanicMechanic]

@wcmaster24 u got it man these too and gewerth 44 best ive seen on here.

[snex1337]

dude.. you have talent pouring out of you. best cover artist i have ever seen. keep up the hard work, don't give up.. you will eventually get to the places you want to go to.

[jinxkhoche]

amazing performance...!! hoping to learn from you :)

[0oAndrex95o0]

[joseph1405]

[GuitarMax5121]

+500 peoples watch, because kobiba like's......kkkkkk'

[axl77]

@GuitarMax5121 Really? Wow.

[Royital]

great!! sounds like you realy put some serious effort doing this.

i liked the way the electric guitar sounded and the way you played it, very clean.

keep going!

[axl77]

@Royital Thank you very much, really good to know that you enjoyed it and liked my guitar playing.

[musicnewfolder]

u should have 1 000 000 views....

[axl77]

@musicnewfolder I wish..... :) Thank you for saying that though.

[gumbajen]

I love your voice... esp. on the higher parts in the latter part of the song. Would love to see you do a version of Yesterdays and So Fine.

[snicklefritz7861]

fucking amazing.  very nice job. subscribing for sure.

[axl77]

@snicklefritz7861 Thank you man. great to hear from you, and HUGE thanks for taking the time subscribe to me.

[KellyomCruz]

eu gostaria de pedir a você se possivel você gravar um video da música Civil War, isso seria possivel?av

No mesmo estilo dessa, acustica

Obrigado.

(I would like to ask you if possible you record a video of the song Civil War, it would be possible? av

In this same style, acoustic

thank you)

[axl77]

@KellyomCruz Thank you :D One of my first jobs in the new year is to get Civil War uploaded.

[KellyomCruz]

@axl77 Thank you. I'm waiting

send me the video as you post

[KellyomCruz]

parabéns muito bom, você conseguiu passar um sentimento e isso foi otimo

( very nice congratulations, you spent a feeling, and it was great)

[hevernon]

So good mother fukkk!

Excellent man, I love your voice, keep doing videos!

[trenahi]

Nice, You're singing much better now that you stoped trying to make Axl's voice. That cover is the best I ever see, good luck!

[axl77]

@trenahi Thank you so very much, i have a mix of people following me, some love the Axl style covers, others prefer me to just cover GNR in my natural style, i guess that means i'll keep doing both :D

[diego59x]

@axl77 do you ever turn off your laptop????

in every video i see it's always on.

thats one big electric bill.

[dartvader158]

BEST SONG OF GNR, GREAT JOB !!

[davejimbobjim]

you should put up some videos of your band playing.

[myiagi900]

your voice is epic man im stoned here listening to that u must b the first to cover that acoustically i dont even think gnr would do it the way u done it man xcelent

[axl77]

@myiagi900 Hey, it's good to know you liked it. Ive heard some great feedback on this one, and it was a huge challenge/risk to do it on the acoustic guitar. I did overlay somepiano to give it depth, but by and large, my version is more of a guitar driven song than piano.

[w1104717]

@myiagi900 holy shit dude, just wow that was epic. Really loved it.

[dragonballma]

kobiba liked this and for a fucking reson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[axl77]

@dragonballma Thank you, having someone as reputable as Kobiba over to my page was great. It's pleasing to know he enjoyed it.

[dragonballma]

@axl77 m8 we all did ;)

[MauFeitioO]

WHY YOUR PC IS ALWAYS ON?! XD

[axl77]

@MauFeitioO Yeh, ive been told off for that here at home. Need to start being more energy efficient.

[Mikegadan]

Awesome job

[master1x2344]

ooooooh peroo QUE IMPRESIONANTE:D!!!!!!..

[holinger1]

5 people were kicked by Axl Rose..

[MrSnakeSlasher]

Axl Rose version, please!

[MrSnakeSlasher]

Axl Rose version please!

[MrSnakeSlasher]

Axl Rose version please!

[metasoundband]

You're great,mate!Keep up the good work.Greetings form Bulgaria.

[dayvancowboy134]

incredible performance and singing! wow! i really loved the arrangement, any chance you can record your acoustic part over the dubbed instruments and upload an instrumental version?

[Viniz2002]

Você canta e toca muito bem. PARABÉNS

[jamie9999999]

Absolutely amazing...

[axl77]

@jamie9999999 Thank you :) It's the most ambitious ive been so far. Its a hell of a song.

[dbenmil]

Just discovered this video last night and haven't stopped listening to it since. Definitely a Gareth GNR cover I will be listening to ALOT along with "You Ain't The First".

[dbenmil]

ORIGINAL GNR FOREVER! Best band the world has ever known along with the BEATTLES and QUEEN.

[axl77]

@dbenmil Agreed, i'd list my favourites as 1.GNR 2.Bon Jovi 3.Soul Asylum

[dbenmil]

Are you really only 28 ? lol ;P

[axl77]

@dbenmil No , 34 :/

[dbenmil]

@axl77 - I thought you were in your early 30s, my comment was meant to be a joke ;P

[PourThatSugarOnMe]

@axl77 you don't look it ;P haha great job on this btw, you're absolutely fantastic! :D

[dbenmil]

OMG! This is getting too weird! Another GNR song I've been listening to ALOT in the past few weeks! AWESOME COVER!!!!! 10 * and posted on my Facebook wall. I wish Axl could hear this!

[axl77]

@dbenmil Thank you Dina :D Great to know that as a huge GNR follower, you thought this was good enough to share on your wall, it's that kind of support i need. Id be nervous as hell to know Axl might listen, i got the thumbs up from Bumblefoot on this though :D

[dbenmil]

@axl77 - WOW! Thumbs up from Bumblefoot? Awesome! But it would be even more awesome if Axl gave you the thumbs up :) I usually post my favourit videos of yours on my wall. I like to use my Facebook page to give my favourit YOUTUBE artists exposure. I really appreciate musicians, especially pianists and guitarists (acoustic or electric) and as you know, I usually look for videos of GNR covers 'cause I've been a fan since 1992 and been listening to them everyday since!

[Bruticus570]

That was fantastic....Hope your making money with that voice of yours...

[axl77]

@Bruticus570 I wish i was ...., just having fun. I suppose that's got to be worth something.

[intoxicatedhate]

Damn man i just found you tonight,from lookin at old vids ,good stuff. Keep it up , come to Houston,tx

[axl77]

@intoxicatedhate I'd love to visit Houston. Come to think of it, i'd love to spend a lot more time in the US. Everything that's influenced me in a major way has come from the USA.

[sam8404]

@axl77 I would be the first one to buy a ticket if you came to Houston

[travisc347]

Dude do you have a twitter account

[axl77]

@travisc347 I don't at the moment, i closed my Twitter feed down as it just all seemed a bit pointless.

[travisc347]

Very good man ...sounds good maybe you should try out for velvet revolver

[axl77]

@travisc347 Hey, i should be so lucky. I think they are probably looking for someone at bit more 'rock' than me. Someone who is kind of on the edge of something, without actually falling of the edge if you know what i mean. It's a hard balance to crack.

[gaelkuo]

I'm a big fans of the old Guns for more than 15 years and also love Estranged very much. You indeed did a great job on it especially you put a little bit different way and tone or maybe some emotion, not just imitate Axl.I can hear your soul from this song. I got a video of Estranged guitar cover but sucks though...anyway I looking forward to seeing more videos from you. Cheers from Taiwan.

[axl77]

@gaelkuo Great comment, thank you for that. Yes, i tried to put my own feeling in to it. I don't think there's anything more tiring than a cover that just tries to copy the original note for note without any expression. Estranged is a song that means a lot to m, and over the years, it's something ive been able to identify with at certain points in my life. It's great to hear that you enjoyed it. Thank you for commenting, Gareth :D

[gaelkuo]

You are a star!! Or even better than that.

[axl77]

@gaelkuo Thank you for saying that. I really wanted to make sure i did a decent job on this song. It plays on my internal jukebox most days :)

[Judezki92]

I like this one, it's nice to hear different versions of this gem. Nice desktop picture btw ;)

[eagamii090]

Excelent man! Very nice! Greetings from Argentin

[xCPTxMo]

Great cover!

\m/

[jkellyjellybean]

Just subscribed, you did an amazing job, I love this better than the original!

[JuninhooGouvea]

Veeeery cool man! Say hello to Brazil?

[axl77]

@JuninhooGouvea I LOVE Brazil, i get so much love from your country and i feel very affectionate towards your nation. I also have a great friend who lives there. I hope to visit the country one day in my life :D

[JuninhooGouvea]

@axl77 That's cool, very successful! You are an excellent singer!

[MrWimmel]

Am loving this one, man.

[axl77]

@MrWimmel Thank you very much, it's a epic. Theres a lot of songs and music that i like, but few songs that i genuinely love, this is one such song.

[royik1234]

you are my god from now

[axl77]

@royik1234 Wow :)

[MrWimmel]

@axl77 It's true. For me too :)

[RobLawson1982]

This is superb. I love this song and this cover gives it a whole new sound. Plus you just taught me how to play it. Absolutely love it. Thank you.

[axl77]

@RobLawson1982 Hey, im glad this helped with the chords :) Thank you so much for commenting. Its such an epic song, i really wanted to make sure i did this one justice.

[wildcat31772]

watch?v=KNEJj3xM06E ... their singer hasnt' got shit on you mate.

[MattyRds95]

This is so amazing gaz :)

[axl77]

@MattyRds95 Aw, thanks bru, as a song, Estranged pretty much defines the reason why i decided to try and be a musician, i love it so much. Hope the MattyRds95 bandwagon is blasting along at a rate of knots.

[renanfrankjr]

GREAT! great song, great singer, it's just amazing!

[axl77]

@renanfrankjr Thank you very much :D I really appreciate that. I put a lot of effort in to trying to get this one right. I know the song is very important to many GNR fans the world around.

[TheSuperUnknowns]

this is fuckin epic!!!!!!!

amazing

[axl77]

@TheSuperUnknowns Thank you :D Really glad you liked it.

[mrmusicrocks1]

I love gnr. That cover was amazing. Only didn't like the new gnr pic. How could you?!! I actually like the new gnr, and I'd only go to a concert to see Axl, but seriously he needs to give up the gnr name. It ain't gnr.

[axl77]

@mrmusicrocks1 I agree. I think he should change his live act too. It's not 1992 anymore and those stadium shows he does seem empty and soulless. When he was a younger man, he had the energy and the bite to really convey intensity and drama, but nowadays, he's just plodding through the motions in a very uninteresting way. I'd like to see more stripped down show, like those Rose Bar shows he did in NY, i suspect Axl himself would enjoy doing more of those too.

[9393ja]

amazing

[axl77]

@9393ja Thank you very much for coming on here and listening to this. Great to have your feedback :D

[ONEPIECEgiannhs]

you have pretty nice voice

[aallbbeerrttggaarrcc]

I'm a huge Guns N' Roses fan since all my life, and now i'm your fan mate, you are amazing. Top covers mate! Keep on rockin'!

[cgrab690]

WOW!!!!!...that is just awesome...the best g-n-r covers...how are you not famous..hats off to you buddy

[soyhaukkadebsas]

I'm a Guns and Roses fan from argentina. Let me tell you, this is just amazing. You have an amazing gift, and you should be proud of yourself...I'm a singer too, and that's why I recognize that you have a wonderful gift.. When I first saw the video I thought it was going to be someone else ruining the song but it wasn't. THANK YOU for your music.

[LunaticAligator]

Thank you so much for doing this wonderfull cover of my favorite song.

[tpda1990]

i jizzed

[NorskParody]

You're just amazing :) 

[axl77]

@NorskParody Thank you very much, really glad you liked it :D

[flamingangel01]

This is unbelievable, you should be proud of yourself.

[axl77]

@flamingangel01 Thank you for saying that, i was happy with the end product, it's certainly a tricky song to get right.

[o0blink0o1991]

Hej, your covers are just amazing! your voice is great! you re doing the greatest GnR covers of all youtube!!! :)

[axl77]

@o0blink0o1991 It's heartening to know you feel that way. I started doing a few GNR covers for fun but over time , more and more people have come forward to give me some of the greatest encouragement ive ever had. Doing my YouTube channel has been more fun than i could have ever imagined. Thank you :D

[MrMustangman04]

Damn, you nailed that one, great song n long song. How many takes did it take you?
