[MegaIncroyable]

I got serious chills. Awesome cover, Gareth! 

[axl77]

@MegaIncroyable Thank you very much :) Great to hear you enjoyed this. I know i didnt put much of my own stamp on this but i wanted people to hear how my voice goes when i go up really high :) I played this in a cover band recently and they wanted me to stop singing it like Axl as they were worried it might come across a bit cheesy but i had to explain to them, my voice just goes like that when i go high.

[Primeministerr]

OPEN A BAND MAN!

[The09la09]

I like you for liking Axl .. you share what I see in him too

[DotDotTiffany]

God you're amazing..

[eminmo]

dude you should be in your own band, you truly have talent!

[TheJwwinter]

Great cover , you sound like axl, guitar playing is awesome too.

Whats your guitar & amplifier because it sounds great ?

[USEDTOLOVEHER]

Hey M8, i have been following you for the last 2 years, since the days of the wig and bandanna! lol love your voice and your cover versions. Hope you dont mind me posting a video response of a version of sweet child that was recorded last year with my best mate on the drums (Jamie) I think he got intouch with you about if you ever needed a drummer to lay down some drum tracks for you:) anyway i think you will appreciate the lead guitarists in the bands style as he is a huge Slash fan :)

[idlerumors]

wow, this was perfect! I usually can't stand covers but this blew me away. You should audition for Velvet Revolver my man, They're still looking haha

[qjtemikureca]

your are just the best!

[jonsitron11]

You should consider getting a drummer.

[XxDarknessX11]

Great Cover sounds freaken awesome beset cover i've heard so far keep rocking man

[33868600]

sos un fenomeno amigo!

me encantan los primeros videos acusticos con la bandana roja

un saludo desde argentina

[omirantunespaiva]

Great video! I'll post a video response, it will be the second video that i'll put linked to yours (the first is November Rain), if you don't mind. Congratulations and thanks!

[lukeber4]

from 5:00 'till it finishes is the BEST AXL ROSE F***ING COVER EVER

[axl77]

@lukeber4 Thank you so much man, i really push myself to sing some of those notes. Axl will always be an inspiration to me :)

[bidelagnolli]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! I'M CRUSHED *------------*

[qjtemikureca]

!!!!!!!!

[Payiuco]

who is in the lead guitar!?

[UnholyMasterOfMetal]

Dude. Awsome. Out of curiosity, where is your voice break between chest and head?

[IxAMxM4TTY]

your AMAZING bro :)

this one would be good to put drums on

[Liamaylward1996]

AMAZINGGGGGG.

[xDeedee92]

Bluntly put, I love you.

[paico2000]

Holy shit ! You are awesome !

[bomfly2]

i thought sebastian bach from skidrow has the best voice but i've changed my mind , you are more than awesome ... i wish you were from romania . .we would make a great band :))  cheers and keep rockin' ! \m/

[gumdnf]

Guns n roses! They will be here in Portugal, 6th of October, I will go to the arena by 2 pm, the concert is by 7:30pm, I feel lucky! xD

Great version! You friggin' rock!

[Pearlmaretthe]

YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING.....WOOOOWWWW...KEEP IT UP!!!!!

[axl77]

@Pearlmaretthe Thankyou very very much. This is the most taxing guitar work ive done so far. I tried my best to emulate the guitar work of Slash. I think i came up short in places but i gave it my best :)

[skinheadsrulz]

@axl77 YOU DO THE BEST COVER ON YOUTUBE

RESPECT

[Freeway514]

This is the best Guns n roses song EVER! I like the way it sounds like the original but is your style as well :) The guitar playing is good too, I want to learn this song but I`m still learning chords

[axl77]

@Freeway514 Thankyou again. Yes, again, with this one i tried to emulate the original with the guitar parts especially and also the high Axl like notes. Thanks for listening :)

[harold926]

wow realy good of you to reply to those who say they don't like it that you appreciate that they have watched it but i've heared a few of you'r song now and damn they are awesome

[Glockenator]

I'm so pissed off. I was listening to this for the 4th time and my laptop speakers took a shit on me in the middle of the song. You're too awesome for my speakers

[simonhj900]

GUNS N FUCKING ROSES FOREVER!

[HottSinger112233]

Screw all the haters! Your Really good, and I think you did a great job with the guitar playing, too. There's nothing wrong with a mellower, calmer vesion of a song. Keep it up! :) <3

[Roenno]

hey gereth, how are you?

wow. I don't find any words for this cover...

I love it, great sound.

[NLmitchieNL]

i was annoying ppl i was ps3'ing cuz i was singing with this song :)

[vatsalraicha]

NO, cant say I liked this one. you did interpret some songs well. Like for its so easy, west arkeen and duff actually wrote it similar to what you did. You can check axl's 2006 interview as a proof, where he sings it how it was actually first written by them.

[darkfro]

Great job Gareth. Keep it up!!!

[keo774]

the guitar is good, the vocals too.

the perfect cover! =)

[RickyRower]

great sound

[Ricoslogger]

ummmm dude I did love your acoustic versions of most songs but these ones all seem the same. they are just mellow and hate to say it but dreary. couldnt listen past 1:30 on any of these new ones. Hope you do some original stuff or just mix up the tone in these covers

[axl77]

@Ricoslogger Shot down. I appreciate what you say but i from the reaction ive had to the covers ive done more recently people have been saying they are pleased that i havent just done note for note covers. Try my Paradise City or recent Out Ta Get Me and Anything Goes. Ive really learned a lot and tried to up the tempo. I also have uploaded about 15 originals if you look at my recet upload entires

[Ricoslogger]

@axl77 Yea sorry man good call. Everyone to their own man keep doing what you love

[chricolwould32rock]

Dude, you are amazing! I've been seeing your vids and it is so cool that you can do that.

[ajo101]

how the hell do you scream like that? I wish I could sing half as good as you. I'm not that great of a singer lol

[MrAlejandro25]

GREAT!!!!

[helloweenfi]

i cant find the words to describe this... it is just amazing! your a talented man, wish you luck! i love this cover!

[bleco123fan]

this is just fucking amazing!

[syntrax19]

you sing like god!

[syntrax19]

1:28, axl have a six pack!

[bigj2344]

wow the guitar work is obscenely clean good work here Gareth

[axl77]

@bigj2344 Thankyou :) Its nice to get a comment on my guitar work. Few people mention that, thankyou :)

[syntrax19]

you sing better than Axle, to say it right!

[HudsonSlashSaul]

hey, bro. fuck man, excellent. you sound so extremely cool, i like your versions with you and your guitar, because it really shows your skills and talent as far as singing goes, mr.brownstone version is totally overwhelming!!!! apply to be a front man of a band!!!! it would be a pitty if you never join a band, many people would miss sth!!!!

[axl77]

@HudsonSlashSaul Thankyou so much. Your comment is really insightful and i appreciate you taking the time to let me know your thoughts. I really enjoy playing around with the GNR songs. Everything i do is out of respect for them. Id dearly love to join a band. Just cant seem to meet anyone who wants to have a go at it.

[dracualsbg]

Ill just bow to your vocals.

[syntrax19]

you are just as good as Axl! you can be just as BIG like Axle rose! :)

[axl77]

@syntrax19 Thankyou so very very much. Axl has been a constant influence for me in so many ways. His songwriting ability and his presence is something i really aspire to.

[RockYourSocks313]

Im shocked.. in the good way dude.. U got an amazing voice.. Believe me dude, if u try you could become BIG!.. 5 stars from Denmark dude!!!

[axl77]

@RockYourSocks313 Such an amazing comment. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart.

[ilolweizbhir4u]

holy **** i thought im listening to the guns and roses!!

great cover 5/5.

[krokus89]

you're fuckin' amazing!!!!

good jop better than Axl now =)

[slashfrusciante]

FUCKING AWESOME!!

loved it

[junnybungle]

Well, first cover video to my favourites, loved it. Well done Garath! =]

[Mexicanito]

You don't consider yourself a lead guitar player? I thought the solo would suck or something. If it is because you don't play quick or something, that doesn't matter. You can play with FEELING, and your bends are awesome, you are a very good player. A lead guitar without feeling is nothing.

[Mexicanito]

Awesome, and you made it even harder to sing by not playing it half step down :P Great job!

[pkdavis1495]

Your talented. Write your own music. Don't cover douchebag Axel Rose.

[jonsitron11]

@pkdavis1495 It's Axl. And he ain't a douchebag.

[bat69tab]

Fucking brilliant, keep it going man, Axl forever!!!

[oselifer]

I think your voice is better even from the original gnr album recording..

If you sung with slash playing it would be amazing.

Congratulations!!

[hicecilia]

You are

A M A Z I N G.

But this and the other songs need some drums in there!

[evaneboy]

beautifuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul  is so beautifull your voice is like axl but more clean and is better than axl voice try to play de guitar 1/2 down and will be perfect

[andrasiboti]

where do we go, where do we go, where do we go now

[anica19anox]

Your voice look like Axl's voice O.o

[junkdrawerfull]

You kick ass and your covers are really good but you need to cover some Tesla my friend. You have a voice that would be perfect for Tesla. Try Love song or something like that.

[mujuma]

Holy fuck man, towards the end you sounded just like him...

I am jealous, my bogan voice is nothing compared to this )):<

[skinnbonesfan]

Awesome!!!!!!!!! =)

[jonsitron11]

Holy... Certainly the best cover... Ever... No doubt...

[nhoodfan]

this is so good that with the slideshow it almost brings me to tears

[gibbanz22]

man you got an amazing voice....once your done with the whole appetite project you should do "i remember you" by skid row you can easily pull off sebastian bach

[vaughn99]

@gibbanz22 - I second the Skid Row classic.

[shrekpower]

very nice buddy ;) 5*

[RockerzFromHell]

Yo axl77. Nice man. I really like your stuff.. Is it possible I can save your covers to itunes or something? A cd. I like your stuff.

[junnybungle]

[MatyouLoyd]

[Coma757]

[axldaniels87]

[pobhockle]

The "Where do we go"? bit - ....Wow, man. Great singing.

[axl77]

Thankyou. Its not something id usually try in one of my many acoustic unplugged shows but i enjoyed 'belting' it out on YouTube :)

[MrGuitarrez]

Hi Gareth, I'm from Singapore. Now that I know you're from Barnsley I couldn't help wondering if you follow EPL and if you do, what's your team. Sincerely hope it's not ManU coz if it is then......

[axl77]

Hey, yes you are going to be very upset with me. Manchester United are most definately my team. So many legends, so many awesome times. I cant think of any other team in the world quite like them. Sorry.

[MrGuitarrez]

Ok. Given your SUPREME ability as a musician, I'll make an exception:)

We'll possibly discuss anything under the sun but ManU or Liverpool....

Cheers mate!

[MrGuitarrez]

So many awesome times...err like being mesmerised by Messi and Co last May?...:)

[a13382]

@axl77 manchester is the GREATEST team ever.u have a good taste of music and sports.good job and keep rockin!!!

[lukeber4]

the best i've seen online

5 stars btw ^^

[GnRHnTrS]

Wow That was amazing..

Keep Rockin guys! xD

[LifEddy]

wow! You're fantastic! you have talent! and I already love your voice! I am16 years and I'm studying singing. what vocal technique is used? I want to learn! (sorry for my English, but I'm Italian)

[Aoloso]

[W1ckeD]

I will book a damn ticket and fly to Barnsley, I live next to the U.K no problemo, we could jam.

[kaspaz30]

it was awesome man great playing, you are a man of many talents..!

Greeting:)

[slashthebestone]

AWASOME voice man! youre amazing! and i think the lead guitar was pretty good man! where you from?

[axl77]

Thankyou so much for that. Im from the UK. A little town called Barnsley in South Yorkshire.

[slashthebestone]

youre welcome mate! i am a lead guitarrist and i do think that it was really good! damn! if you were from Brazil i would call you to sing in my band for sure!

[axl77]

That would be great. Distance is our enemy. Thankyou for what you said anyway. I appreciate your views and comments. Gareth :)

[slashthebestone]

yea..exactly..thats the problem..but anyway! youre welcome mate! hope to see more cover soon! cheers!

[yugijan2196]

axl77 i said it once and ill say it again....ur fuckign amazing...tht is the best cover on youtube!

[axl77]

Thankyou so much man. Thats so good of you. I was especially apprehensive about covering this one as its a big song and means a lot to a lot of people. Im so glad you think ive done it justice :))

[yugijan2196]

yes you have done it justice my friend :)..keep on rockin bro

[xXMarines11Xx]

Next Axl Rose Right there. nice job dude

[axl77]

I wish i was. No, hes a legend in his own right. This is just a tribute, i realise hes a million times better at this stuff than me. Doesnt stop me paying tribute though. I certainly wish i had his money :)

[mufto7x]

what guitar,amp,and effects do you use in the intro and the solo?

[sneider4907]

Hey man your grat really.....i allways followed Axl steps haha he is the man right?a tip: if you scream a little bit more higher you´ll get better...just as Axl........luck man keep going....

[thealmightyaxe1]

what software did you use to make this?? Sounds great by the way

[Neton16]

HOLY CRAAAAP DUDEEE!!!

AWESOMEEEEEEEEE COVER DAMN IT!!!! *_*

The perfect SCOM cover so far!

you make it with ur band?

[axl77]

Hey dude, thank so much. I recorded the whole myself one afternoon. It was hard to lay it down without percussion. I hope to find a band one day :)

[Neton16]

OMG! u are amazing player!

[axl77]

Thankyou so much. My aspiration os to find some like minded musicians in the next few years who want to go and rock songs like this live :) Thankyou for stopping by, Gareth

[W1ckeD]

I would totally jam with you If I lived closer to you, I could all the drum work, no problem. ^^

[axl77]

Thats such a shame. Im really hopeing to get something going. Ive met so many talented people but none so far who live near enough to make it viable. Ill keep looking :)

[AxlNSlashDuff]

Remove the backing vocalz dude.

You're Voice rocks!

but this seems to be gayish cause of the backing vocals.

^_^ \m/

[dbenmil]

Wow!!! Awesome job with this cover and great video!

Waiting to hear your new stuff... :)))

[axl77]

Thankyou for stopping by for a listen, its always great to hear from you :)

[mcram3r]

the solos not the exactly like the original and culd of done with a bit more wah, but i still luved ur variation on the first run and end of the solo keep it up, id luv to c a vid of u plaing ur electric tho

[axl77]

Yes, the Wah was lacking.I dont have one unfortunatley so i had to make the best of what i had at my disposal. Im glad you liked it though and i will do an electric guitar song/video soon, Gareth :)

[ShirayuriSky]

sounds more like shannon hoon

[axl77]

I can live with that

[Jase1274]

WOW you are great. You said you are not a lead guitarist but you did great. I enjoy listening to all your covers you are a true talent.

[Ezkaton]

Wow, very good! You adapted it very well.

[unkieali]

i love how it sounds with a lowered tempo, although admittedly it does make the guitar parts easier to play, but still that's not meant as criticism.. excellent cover

[DRUGO198]

you're a mad genius ... I sing Guns N 'Roses and that you are the most

[munkeygirl8]
