I am here after Billy tweeted about it. He retweeted my pic before (I am the guy with the Zero tshirt from Egypt who Billy retweeted his pic last month).

But this song is just awesome, great cover man!

[homsniff]

[christiantjr]

[JuanaAntonia]

Beautiful cover. Well done! Believe it or not, Billy himself share this video from Twitter! Lucky you!

[Flowerblood]

The great Billy Corgan himself just tweeted about this. Congrats.

[firedevotion]

IT'S JESUS IN A HUMAN BODY. >:U

[BeMyEbonyPearl]

Amazing :)

[4tlus5o1idu5]

holy crap, this is awesome. i also like the fact that you didn't try to imitate billy's singing like pretty much everyone on youtube. btw, AWESOME singing voice!!

[MsManchild]

very very good!!

[ouackstrax]

Very interesting spin.. nice one

[aniym21000]

I love this!

the original is awesome, but this is excellent even though it's a totally different take!

[ilovewinbutler]

This is unbelievable! Seriously fair play!

[verveijo]

dude that's great!

i couldn't imagine that it could sounds like this!

[Tang526]

down how do i do this for 6 string

[lus1981]

:^ |

Awesome...

[MAD1981full]

Terrible

[mistersimonfletcher]

@MAD1981full Don't be a dick. >:[

[corgan59]

moué, jolie, mais la chanson perd quand meme tout son univers. C jolie, mais non sa marche pas...en tout cas pas avec moi. Don't like it, the song lose her soul i think.

[derit]

12-guitars are the best ever! Great job reinterpreting for the 12 string acoustic its great@

[rockboytyler]

some of the words were wrong, but I definitely hit the like button! Nice work on the chords, it's beautiful!!

[geoff1424]

way to bright for a song off Mellon collie, drop that thing down a whole step and darken the play more!

[skippydeenice]

great job bro

[ChrisSutton82]

Epic fail!

[aluencita]

apa yo quiero uno asi... XD

[MAD1981full]

Sir , great cover no needs more to say

AWESOME

[smokeynighttrain]

Nice cover, the lyrics match the melody really good. And coming from a SP fan that means alot.

[Saintgutfree524]

I like it alot.

[LionsTigersAndTrouts]

This is extremely nice,

not to mention unique.

Maybe a cover of "Pug" is in order? :D

[Angelofdeth76]

Your cover makes me feel better Thanx

[hanusanus666]

nice

[Tfr3sh17]

FAGGOT

[vagabondmusic121]

it goes to show how u can play one song in so many ways. i would of never guessed that to be a smashing pumpkins song

[Watch4]

*gags* No.

[runnersdialzero33]

@enjoiskater21 This matters, why?

[MAD1981full]

Man your cover is awesome really Original it seem to be so close of Iha James

good good work

[Orangeman334]

Impressive. I've enjoyed watching many of your videos and I can say that you are already one of my favorite vocalist on youtube.

[IamTheScorchedEarth]

great cover now is even more sad... i am about to cry...

[somebody77777]

= ) very nice!

[SpongeyGreenPerson]

: )

[kirke1892]

Jaki piękny głos ! Coś cudownego ! :)

Wonderful voice :)

[locojohnston]

heyy i covered this a long time ago too (see related vids..), love it! you definitely win.

[leitinhomarginal]

hey, don't cry, everything is gonna be allright ( I'm joking OK?).

Great job!

[guurrrllll89]

Love it!!!!

[ssdario]

awsomeness!

[jdury]

Absolutely stunning cover, and I say that as a 17 year long SP fan. Great job! You rearranged it musically into a new new key and arrangement, and that's what a good cover should do. I've watched this dozens of times lately. Great job!!!

[placeborgy]

i like this version. good job.

[Sarcuphiluss]

if it was a song that originally was like this, this would be wicked sick, but ur voice has major flaws(comparing it to corgan's voice), and the timing is quite wrong....

Yet, i say, i like the song, i like ur version, but this isn't an honest version. still, 5/5 dude, rock on

[Saintgutfree524]

It's his own version you fuck.

[back2thefutre]

way to go dude. you are a badass mother fucker

[AToxicOrange]

this sounds more like a weird christian rock number than anything else.

love the guitar though.

[nailszwan75]

Absolutely stunning mate, fair play to you, fucking awesome

[ilovefrancilie]

That was beautiful.

you're excellent

[JDRock9]

Nice somber sad take on the song, I feel it's more of an angry distructive outburst. Well done!

[XPac894]

no.

[dwaaag]

i'd take this criticism properly, I mean the dudes names Xpac he must be cool

[XPac894]

dont get me wrong, musically your guitar playing is good and you have a good voice, its just a song like this i feel is suppose to be dark and heavy.

[drwhitmd]

Sick. Really fucking good.

[jeligula]

Nice. Every empty-headed college girl in the US loves you. Bastard.

[WhiskeyArjan]

Jealous?

[luzhellenmary]

wow i absolutely love this

[loserella55]

Beautiful.

[itsherbie33]

nice!

[bandofraypruitt]

SUCK MY FAT COCK IN HELL!!!!

[dwaaag1]

your cool. die

[0strangehappenings0]

your really good, but i still think that only billy can sing the pumpkins songs.

[xXemokid23Xx]

omg man you made this song better to me my sister found this and iv already listened to it twice i listened to the real version and thought "im gunna listen to yours again" your really good keep makin more music

[electricfleetwood]

wow, that was really different, bodies is one of my personal favourites, but i liked it ;)

[orangecrushaa]

really nice job a bit to happy but nicely done

[allanyumul]

damn! you made it perfect man!!!!! i love most the BODIES from Smashing Pumpkins... you made me like it more now...

[sanggkim]

wow... nice cover. one of the best covers of a song that makes it work.

[TheImplodingVoice61]

Cool cover, really like what you've done with it.  How do you play it?

[Trizesta]

Interesting take on this song. I like it, man!

[hajal77]

simply amazing. i'm gonna buy myself 12-string today after watching this performance.

you look like richard patrick, btw.

[NightmareGanon]

Pretty good. You didn't quite catch the vibe, but your version alone is pretty good.

[leopheard]

A bit 'Dawson's Creek', but still excellent!

[JustplainCool9000]

you took a great song and redid it your own style without totally fucking up the original, what a true cover should be, great job bro!!!

[levey24]

so does it just give the guitar more punch than a 6 string? and what about soloing ... harder? or not really used for soloing... thx in advance

[lachlanhiggs]

yeah... enough gap not to vibrate on each other but close enough to be able to hold the strings down as if they were just one....

[back2thefutre]

that was awesome man

[back2thefutre]

Wow dude, that was good.

[sshell85]

awesome job man

[tabster097]

I wonder what the smashing pumpkins think about this..I honestly like you better lol. Well at least this song..Awesome version of the song like the last guy said.

[DaysOfGloryDMbass]

Awesome version of the Song i think there should be a recorded version of this trak because the orginal is such a heavy but beautiful trak and this version exposes the fragility of the actual mesage of the song i think. but thats just me :) i could be wrong.

[richpon1973]

if this was edward cullen (twilight) singing right now. my sister's gonna faint.

SHEESH!

anyway, best soundtrack for that movie though.

[surge0116]

that was pretty freakin cool man

Bodies - Acoustic Style

[richpon1973]

ian, send this cover as one of the follow up soundtrack of "TWILIGHT"

[FrxBass]

twilight can eat my nut sack

[jaodff]

why did you make it into a wimpy song?

[levey24]

technique with a 12string vs a 6string, for chord play is there much difference?

[aboutjoshua]

Stop retuning and doing it so good or tell Billy to do it this good.

[awaitlightning]

i love your covers mate, they are justy really great. This one has convinced to buy a 12-string i love it so much. Please keep it up. Dan x

[jmkof]

T salio d la puta madre!! cool

[Lolololous]

hi lachlan,

i'm a 22 italian boy. when I first heard this cover of yours I immediatly fell in love with it. I listen to this song everytime I log on youtube! I would be pleased if we keep in touch sometimes, I'm a guitarist too. Take care and keep going like this.  Lorenzo

[ferna1977]

Love it. Please, what's the tuning?

[lachlanhiggs]

I'm tuned DACGCD. Chuck a capo on the fourth fret and most of the chords are basic. start on the third fret with the first and second strings pressed down.. the rest of the strings are just left open. keeping this finger arangement it's just going from 3 to 7 to 2. That's the first little phrase... have a muck around in that tuning and it should be clear where i'm going. cheers

[tidalboxer]

AWESOME! You made it your own...I like it as much as theirs.

[superspaceboy]

ta bien paja tu version de smashing 5 starz

[8inspiron8]

Hi there,

this is but i call a true cover. Bodies was a great song but you've made it even better. thanks for your inspiration, i dont use to comment peoples vids but this one is great.

keep playing!

[scopein79]

Very good cover ! Original.

[malder83]

I'd buy this if it were on iTunes.

[Creep187SAas]

hell yea, love the original, but this is a really great cover!!

[afab232]

awsome

[VeronicaTomlinson]

You're absolutely amazing. I can't even think of the words. Great job. Amazing voice. Not to mention that cute face of yours. lol.

[alexxxth]

muy bien cover desde inglaterra

[joemusiclover]

not bad... pretty good

[brockadile6]

fuck your a pussy

[NarutoNdGaara]

Good job, I hate Smashing Pumpkins tbh.

But this is golden.

[ncastano1]

muy buen cover desde argentina

[TanakaCard]

This cover is awesome

sure its not 'hard-core'

but thats why its called an ALTERNATE cover

anyways, keep on playing that guitar buddy,

awesome cover

[SaviourOfCows]

i agree with MrMisanthropy, it this song was written for the hard core sound.

[NarutoNdGaara]

Lol, you're a funny one.

[LolzNdolz]

It would be a perfectly beautifil cover if the song was a sad love song, but it's a song that consist "break-up hate". It would be very good if you wrote "My version of Bones - Smashing pumpkins". Very good =)

[MisterMisanthropy]

sounds all poppy and whiney. guh. sorry just what I think.

[nachofeet]

really excellent.

[Macnatty]

Nice man. Nice liberties taken here. Creative.

Check out my SP covers.

[Mel0019]

dude, you take the original "im angry because someone screwed me over big-time" and mess it up. i thought this was gonna be the origina on acoustic, not a change billys work around...

[ixi3x6]

Same song, changed key to make it a more new wave esq sounding song (more suited to your voice). Sounds like something that Hoobastank or something would do. Good inflection to alot of your lines. And of course cut out all of the spaces where there would normally be loads of distorted lines, extended singing parts. The girlys should cry, if thats what your going for. All in all good job man, Ive tried to really cover it myself, getting nowhere, at least you came up with something.

[chadermel]

hey bro, your cover of this song is simply stunning. did you tab it out your self? or where did you get the tabs? if you tabs it out you really should post them.

thanks.

[johnnyfree]

*tear* that was beautiful

[purplelyna]

u r basically covering every single one of my fav. bands..thank you so much!

[nothingisthatsimple]

wauw. that's just beautiful!

[redkierkant]

great cover man. love how you put your own personal touch on this. keep up the good work dude. we need people like you

[filmito]

nice job

:)

[WhiteSpyder170]

Dude. Flat-out awesome cover.

Billy Corgan would approve.

[kimbui1]

This is really great. Cheers.

[fromheaven0]

very, very, very, very, very, very... very good! you are the best :o <3 5 stars ^^

Sorry for my bad English. You should get a award. You are actually better than the SP's <3

[unrealnews]

It's very exciting to hear this great song re-rendered so well.

[mymorningvodka]

SERIOUSLY nice job, takes a true artist to remake a classic song in a different light, a different context.

[jerseymover3]

a cover isn't cool unless you mix in your own style...you did exactly that, good job...your from austrialia i think i saw? can you cover some silverchair?

[ninamala84]

this cover is jelly good, love it... even though it's not as darkish as the original SP version you can still feel all the power and tension in it... utterly beautiful good job

[ninjameyer]

All good metal songs have roots on the accoustic guitar. You rocked it man.

[luvherohhater]

amazing.

[KennewickMan00]

i know like everybody said this already but this is like fucking genius even if you didn't write the song. Just the way you play it is really creative and original.

[cdderob]

That sounds really great. You've got a great voice in addition to your obvious guitar skills.

[jakuun]

Wow man, you really can see you're in the music with such empathy, keep it up.

[orwin90]

shit god dame.. this is b.a. lol.. good work man.. sick vocals and sick guitar.. i wish i had 6 extra strings

[jebadiah4]

thats my fave pumpkins song.... and that my friend was how corgan shouldve done it!ha!

[slunk007]

Wow. That is an amazing cover. I like it way more than the original on MCIS. Bravo.

[autumn999]

A new twist on one of my fave pumpkins songs.

Really well done.

[locojohnston]

wow you're good man

[simmersound]

Hmm.. It looks like you're in drop D, or Perhaps Dadadd...in 12 string form.

Is this the case? Let me know, I'd love to play this!

[lachlanhiggs]

It's DACGCD... really nice to play with

[simmersound]

Yup!!! sounds great!!!

[orwin90]

the actual song is in drop d and then everything is tuned down a half step (including the dropped d)so i guess drop c# half step lol :P.. almost the whole album is to get its darker sound

[cujagu]

Holy fuck man. Holy fuck. I'm stunned at how awesome your sound is. After hearing this and your Videotape cover, I'm definitely subscribing.

[camobaby]

AMAZING

I agree you sound a bit liek James Iha

[zoidberg2713]

good job. your awesome!

[okapi81]

superrrrr i am cry

[qwertyfuck1]

good cover pigfucker...

...and your guitar is in tune!... most youtubers don't know that 90% of sounding good is having a properly tuned guitar.

[lachlanhiggs]

hahaha........

[Cracknutte]

I love you!

[tjswat]

fantastic

[iluvmongooses]

I really like this... really chilled out version. I really like the way u finish it too! Want this on my mp3 player! lol

[Teej212]

you sound like james iha

[beyondtheblackhole]

man, that is beautiful... doesn't sound much like the original, but i loved it anyway. nice guitar, lovely voice, rock on!!!

[Brycemillard]

Wow, I want to see more of your stuff!

Do you do a lot of acoustic covers?

[dtr4eva]

is there anyway i could download this cover i want it on my Ipod lol its awesome!

[richieglos]

WOW! That was so beautiful, so pumpkins, uplifting version of one of my favourite songs. Thanks for sharing your talent, that's made my day.

[okapi81]

offffffffff offffffffffffffff superr yaaaaaa

[KhrizQFBRJ]

Wow...you covered this song very well, 'cause you didn't try to imitate Billy's voice but you tried to add your own style to your own version, which is always good. You've done justice to the song, though I must say that I missed all the distortion ans screams for a while :)

[malder83]

Damn, great job!

[GwenChanel]

Nice job with covering this.

I love it especially because you could transform Billy Corgan's blind rage into a very vulnerable song, wich is what Billy was trying to hide in this song I think... anywayz coodos to you!
