"The Man in Me" - Bob Dylan a la Lebowski-inspired cover

[lawless130]

dont listen to the haters this is far better than that ray lamontagne version i enjoyed it IF YOU HATE THIS VIDEO YOU ARE ENTERING IN A WORLD OF PAIN

[HybridStoner]

whats with all these haters, man. This is not Nam, there are rules! good cover, keep abiding.

[bobdacreepable]

risky cover dude but u nailed it...first dylan cover i believed

[Joeyg143]

It'd sound great with better recording equipment.

[AlecTheConfused]

wow man this was great, I was kinda annoyed that i couldn't find the original, but i'm glad i checked out your cover :D really nailed the Dylan sound imo, ;]

[ternak001]

i thought you were pretty good

[karna112487]

lol good retort rasta, but you knew you are not bob dylan sir....

[therealjustbriand]

hey Count Blackula, you're not Bob Dylan, maybe you should title the video something else?

[MrFantasticSarcastic]

its good bro i like it:)

[beatlific]

Great work mate, sounds great. Good stuff. :)

[Assman1243]

donny you're out of your element

[Doniosk]

Wow Bob Dylan look out!

[Cheesenrice87]

the toe is not the fucking issue..

[weisserstein]

Very good.

[thildeska]

OMG Steevie Kellerman can play guitar!

[mutsapimp]

the problem isn't the chinaman, dude. It's the other lebowski

[hellzbelle222]

how do i find not the cover version??

[stylesuxx23]

best "Cover" so far, really nice one dude. You really seem to <3 this song, just like I do :-)

[definemaybe]

i like it thanks!!

[johngruman]

Thanks Rasta! Very nice version of a quiet classic by Dylan. Very cool.

[rjhather]

this song is pure class. nice one

[CoderXxYy]

this 'dude' not bad

[AlignedHubSeeker]

another fucking attentionwhore

[rasta1982]

@AlignedHubSeeker That's just like your opinion, man

[intheflesh714]

@rasta1982

great response, I enjoyed the video. you sing it better than Bob himself, not sure if that's really something to be proud of though lol. keep rocking dude!

[crook5090]

the trick is to go to tubifier.com to get the 256k version of this mp3.

[ertzuiop123]

Nice man, rock on

[helenkeller5528]

This was actually a LOT better then I thought it was going to be. Great job on the cover.

...But that's just, like, my opinion, man...

[yukmust]

this kid sucks. it's nice to see some frat boy butchering a great song.

[rasta1982]

@yukmust Frat boy? Ouch. I don't think I ever met a single frat guy who knew how to use technology

[hellzbelle222]

@yukmust no its really not why cant i just id the original? maybe there should be a seperate section of you tube that didnt plkay live versioins or covers, because i think that that is the youtube i want to use!! any cover of bob dylan is pathetic im sorry its not him!! whole point

[drumONdrugs23]

why the fuck cant i find the original??!?!?!?

[Dylan1307]

I AM VERY FUCKING TIRED OF NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND ANY BOB DYLAN ORIGINAL SONGS! SO FUCK YOU!

[rasta1982]

@Dylan1307 sorry you dumb bastard... It's hard to find clips because of the big labels owning all the rights and limiting what you can find. That's why there's pretty much only a Vevo channel for him. Don't blame me, blame the major labels

[alexshmalex]

@rasta1982 Ignore the fucking Nihilists dude... lets go bowling.

[simontja]

@rasta1982 I blame you, not solely but you're a part of it - seeing as you titled the video "Bob Dylan" when it clearly isn't Bob Dylan singing, but you!

[Yahear]

@Dylan1307 can't believe you wrote something stupid like that.. the guy likes bob dylan as much as you do you dumb bastard... quit it asshole bob dylan would spit on your ugly face

[MrZakXero]

@Dylan1307 Buy New Morning you jackass

[Calatafimi]

@Dylan1307

You fucktard ! Fucking piece of shit !

[agent827360]

great movie and this is the best thing on youtube that is the actual performance by bob dylan

[mariodieter]

why the fuck i cant find the original?

[dongaspare]

Don't fuck with the Jeezus!!

[sillybearproductions]

SHUT THE FUCK UP DONNY!!!!!

[CHEESYhairyGASH]

put "cover" on the title of your video. your good but your not bob dylan

[pufmama]

sweet! and I love your song choice!

[xhilo]

He is a nihilist. Oh! It must be exhausting

[allkindaboy]

At least I'm housebroken..

[antiposeur6]

v_v dio...

[RyanTheComedyKid]

The rug really tied the room together...fuckin' rug pissers

[Dontforgetme1971]

Call me Duderino^^

[rasta1982]

@Dontforgetme1971 His Duderness

[garcaro1]

Nice cover man. Is that you?

[rskuckian]

what's the strumming pattern here dude?

[wownov83]

I dabbled in pacifism; before 'nam of course.

[epiphoneaddict]

Shut the fuck up Donnie.

[whatwindow]

you see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass?

[trevfrank]

where's the money lebowski

[rasta1982]

Vee cuts of your JOHNSON!

[EhhBomB]

@trevfrank its down there some where leme take another look hahahah

[AustinNeel2007]

Fantastic job, this is without doubt the best rendition on Youtube. Can you tell me what chord you are playing between the Am and C in the progression?

[rasta1982]

It's like a B/C or something... Think a G chord minus the E strings. Good transition chord.

ThanX for the love!

[harybosco]

very well done...the balls to do Bobby well.

[rasta1982]

Very much appreciated.

[KDoc21]

this aggression will not stand!

[tylerjameshowland]

Very nice!

[4347matthew]

u didnt think i was rollin out of here naked, did u?

[ipodttt]

your entering a world of pain smokey

[rasta1982]

All right! There it is! It's fucking zero! You happy, you crazy fuck?

[StaticEclectic]

It's a league game smokey.

[RayPallama]

It really tied the room together.

[rasta1982]

Fuckin' A.

[ipodttt]

they peed on your fucking rug

[thiefcafe55]

@RayPallama this form of aggresion will not stand man!

[onecoolcat141]

@RayPallama sure did dude

[asianliciousonline]

The Dude Abides!

[rasta1982]

Far out man.

[ReallyReallyClean325]

+ the population of all living and dead

[bossesg1]

hey good job. i can't find the perfect tab for this song. i also use a capo on the first fret but there is this little descending thing you do from C to B to A i think and i don't know exactly what it is. also are you playing Am7 or just Am. and what about the Dsus2 or just D?

[rasta1982]

I think the descending thing is the standar sort of C - B/C - Am...

And I think it is just a straight D

[postman252]

You sound so much like Dylan!!!

[KDoc21]

nice, man... i love this song

[hellobeatle]

wow.. really good

[rasta1982]

Appreciated!

[jimmygeeeee]

awesome awesome awsome! please keep it goin!!!

[rasta1982]

Will do! Mastering my album with The Gents this week. Music, music, music!

[jimmygeeeee]

didn't realise as i was drunk last night, but cool t shirt! Clash are my best!

[rasta1982]

Perfectly understandable... Currently nursing hangover myself.

[mogly8]

Well done, sounded right indeed.

[retardedeskimo]

nailed it! nice job dude

[rasta1982]

ThanX bro and hello from San Diego.

I miss partying with the Irish during college summers

[retardedeskimo]

haha the Irish have a reputation of partying and heavy drinking....and boy do we live up to it.

[rasta1982]

The Irish would sublease the housing cheap from students away during the summers. Never met so many beautiful women w such beautiful names...

[retardedeskimo]

haha. Yea lots of obscure names. and beauitiful women?? If it wasn't for them all this bad weather would have killed me a long time ago lol. i'm guessin your into blues??

Have you ever heard of Rory Gallagher?

[rasta1982]

I haven't but I just checked out his Wiki page. I do love the blues (and most everything else for that matter). But I'm sorry to say that "The Commitments" is about the most i know about Irish blues!

[spyderco11]

where fom san diego you fom im in la jolla great job dude.

[rasta1982]

Whatup & thanks. I'm up in Carlsbad/La Costa when I'm down in SD. I go up to LA once a week or so too so I can work at this music label. Controlled Substance Sound Labs / Silverback Artist Management

[mikect975]

just like bob...very good

[ffieldy]

very good cover.. this song is great and very easy to learn. and that's what i love!

(sorry, if there are mistakes. my english is not the best)

[rasta1982]

ThanX.

And practice is the only way to improve. I podvádět a používat Google Translate :D

[rmk30]

thanks a lot for the post... i'm trying to learn this song and your video really helped with the strumming pattern

[rasta1982]

Glad I could be of service!

[Soundstage8]

Like, in order, what are the chords that play over "nearly any task" in the beginning? They're 3 chords for each word, and I can't figure out what they are :P And after "task" you switch to a new one again...

[rasta1982]

Ahhh... It's just a natural progression from C to Am... I think the chord is B/C or something.

eBGDAE

x3002x

Also note the capo on the first fret.

If you ever have any questions just ask! ThanX

[Soundstage8]

The chords you use are G, Am, C and D, right? I looked the chords up on the net, and though you're playing all the right chords, you've added to it a litte ;) I like you're rendition better than the ultimate-guitar chords...

[jo4nny]

Great job and great tune, but the sound doesn't do your talent justice.

Hook up some recording time and lemme know if you've got a myspace music page or something. I would totally get baked to your tunes bro.

[rasta1982]

ThanX man. I do have a myspace page but I've abandoned it for other networks. Check the links in my profile. YouTube is more of a practice space for me. I am currently recording. Check the Imeem link for some sounds.

[M4ndMs]

good job :)

[rasta1982]

Appreciated!

[ibozes]

i want to be the man in you, bob.

-narek

[ibozes]

very very gay

-narek

[Soundstage8]

You almost sound just like Dylan :)

[rasta1982]

ThanX. Check out my version of "It Ain't Me" too.

You on Netflix? Be my friend?

[Soundstage8]

I was on Netflix over the summer, but not anymore :( I get it for the summer and then cancel when school starts :P I would though, man :)

[rasta1982]

Cool, cool. I noticed your enthusiasm for film and was curious. Netflix keeps me from going out to the bars all the time!

[Soundstage8]

Ha, yea, Netflix is my lifeline over the summer ;) I just sent you a PM...

[ZachMaximus]

dude i watched lebowski this weekend and it made me wanna search this song up. long story short, you have a really sweet cover here. good job.

btw, i have the same mitchell. i love it

[rasta1982]

ThanX Dude. Check my other cover of this song from a 70's reggae group called Matumbi. That Mitchell has held up pretty well for $250 since like 1998 or so.

[robsterboy123]

Insane cover my man, i am a dylan freak and i think u hav one of (if not the) best man in me covers on youtube

[rasta1982]

Very much appreciated.

I watched the Big Lebowski this morning hung over on the couch with my bro. Such a great song.

[DementedMax]

___|'|___ Forehead

[TPO1985]

Excellent job. At about 1:05 it sounds like a little Pink Floyd in there.

[rasta1982]

I know what you're talking about but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe something off Wish You Were Here? ThanX for the words of encouragement.

[atimus203]

Its very subtle, but you can hear it is from wish you were here. Not the words, just the way you accent and bend/unbend the notes.

[rasta1982]

Sometimes I can hear the vocal phrasing too.

I covered a reggae cover of this song too by Matumbi.

[mrbrown950950]

You are awesome!!!!

[rasta1982]

Why thanX good sir. Very good random assortment of favs you got up right now. Protect Ya Neck son. I got some RZA vids too in my collection. Peace.

[fullblowngenius]

Weirdly Dylanesque tones, dude. You might have been borned wit it.

[rasta1982]

That means a lot coming from a full blown genius and all. Good stuff...

[fullblowngenius]

Yeah, and I mean Dylanesque circa '73! It's a very specific version of the Dylan arsenal of varying styles of timbre and diction. It's that NEW MORNING voice, never quite used prior to, or after that album. Coolosity.

[rasta1982]

Well shiiiiiit... You sure do know how to make a Mexican blush!

[blueukulele]

Full of soul,excellent

[rasta1982]

Appreciated and thanX.

[jrsone2]

nicee, did you know That Peter Tosh and The Barrett bro's did a rythm cover of this song for Joe Cocker to sing over. But unfortunately Joe Cocker never got the chance to do the track with Tosh due to his drinking problem.

Great Cover and Jah Bless

[rasta1982]

I did. Good stuff. Check my other version of this song.

[scottay69]

amazing, how many good songs Dylan has, most musicians would love to write 1 song as well as Dylan and he has 100's

[rasta1982]

No kidding. You can always pick up a Dylan album and hear a random song you might not have heard before and say, "Wow."

[idiotwind75]

for some real surprises, check out Dylan's gospel stuff (slow train coming, saved, and shot of love!) -- im an atheist, but Dylan made some of his best music during his "christian" years ...great cover !!

[rasta1982]

Sounds good. I'm an atheist too but inspiration is inspiration nonetheless.

[rashersmark]

Superb :) Nice voice

[rasta1982]

Why thanX good sir.

[doggun]

perfect

[rasta1982]

ThanX.

[scarboroughkid101]

very good cover

p.s. Nice shirt

[rasta1982]

Nice shirt, greater band. ThanX.

[Craigee69]

[rasta1982]

Fuckin' appreciated!

[LordFata]

sounds quite like the "original"

very well done!

[rasta1982]

ThanX for the support

[Deathbringer09]

[rasta1982]

Double-thanX.

[blinknbcr]

[rjpoole82]

[rasta1982]

Hope you will find some of my other vids enjoyable as well.

[theSonicSupernova]
