Forget the haters... you nailed the feel, and that's what counts most. Great rendition of one of my favorite songs.

[sharlottegrey]

nice job :)

[RabbidSnail]

Awesome video!!!!!!! Truly amazing!!!

[alathea1]

So, the whole song is in Eb-ish? You did a great cover of it. I love Colin Hay. You sound a bit like him when he sings live.

[gamekiller743]

[goldenhiro]

Ah you're amazing :)

[serwombathardy]

[MartinLewisTV]

My favourite cover of overkill !

[CLownShuffle]

wonderfull!

[Petergriffin195]

WONDERFUL

[1q1q2q3qeq4qrq5qtq]

You rule!

[thunzie]

one word: Brilliant.

[DrFreerun]

My favorite cover!

[rsoeren]

better than the orginal!

[shortie46]

great job!!!!!!

[tninsac]

kyle gas from tenacious d :D

[ziglee]

You missed the rising of the vocals from the second verse and further...

[ianb4music]

@ziglee Really? I've never noticed that......



[cotey4]

@ianb4music Yeah Collin does sing in a higher key at some spots in the song. In fact I have heard it most version form him. Having said that, being a singer/player......I cant hit them myself but you will hear no complaints from me. Your rendition of this classic 80s song was spot on! Much like Collins acoustic versions. Very VERY well done my friend.

[ianb4music]

@cotey4 Lol, thanks for the kind comments, but my original comment was kinda sarcastic :). Just me being a smartass :D. I always like it when people tell me how I messed up and sang the words wrong or got the tune wrong etc.

[cotey4]

@ianb4music Ah yes. Now that Ive re-read you comment I can "hear" the sarcasm. And I know what you mean about people's comments. I occasionally have a "Peter Brady" moment, trying to hit that one note that I probably shouldnt and people seem to delight in telling me as if I didnt notice my own blunder. But I usually take what I can form critisism, pos. or neg. Unless it intentionally mean spirited. But once again I enjoyed the cover. Rock on.

[razorblade530]

I like this better than Hay's acoustic version. Good stuff! One of my absolute fave 80s songs.

[odenatorador]

beautiful! what's with the tuning? why did you tune your guitar a step sharp?

[ianb4music]

@odenatorador Errrm, it's tuned half a step flat...



[HoosierDaddy16]

your guitar playing is really good but man your voice is amazing! Kudos to you man

[ohheyhereitis]

I love your singing voice.

[Jonth93]

amazing !! where did you find the tab? :O plz don't say you played it by the ear! :O

[ianb4music]

@Jonth93 Lol, unfortunately I did indeed play it by the ear. :)



[Jonth93]

@ianb4music damn you x)

well, you are an amazing guitarist and have a lovely voice!

[1q1q2q3qeq4qrq5qtq]

@Jonth93 just type song name in google and you'll find tabs, even in guitar pro format

[AnniBunny1985]

I like :D

[shambles2009mofo]

amazin man :)

[gsouza73]

vc é bom cara muito bom otima voz!

[TheRico1992]

i like your version :)

[mistajim1969]

Awesome! Great cover bro!

[BenSB32]

Best I've seen thus far,but still no one who has the nutz to go after it for real on the final build up. Your voice is a dam near match I'm sure you could pull it off if you get the right breathing down on it.

[ianb4music]

@BenSB32 LOL, I've tried it, but he has a special voice, I certainly can't do it... :)

[CCashBo]

Great , really great. Thank you .

[TheArschlord]

youre voice is really really cuel Respect better then orginal

[TheArschlord]

youre voice is really really cuel Respect

[Megasatanist666]

Nice :D

[BijeliTigarLovac]

Outstanding....thanks for your version. And adding the few measure of "intro", really add to the performance.

[JohnNormic]

RESPECT !

[Stashman94]

Utterly amazing. Do you have chords or a tab or something for this that I could get you to send me please? Thanks.

[mickimurr]

Fantastic Ian, a lovely version of a great song ! If I could master Bar Chords I'd nearly learn it from watching (damn my stubby fingers...... and lack of guitar skills).

[SchlafferAffe]

wow, great voice und guitar play :)

[AORNOfficial]

thumbs up mate ;)

[BloodForSale]

[majoralvega1]

very very nice og on

[exposurejd]

Smooth...Keep it rollin'!

[djz0mt3c]

man, keep up the good work :) greetings from ger.

[danmasterdan]

Wow Amazing voice!

[recurveninja]

how did you possibly get sound that amazing with that camera? or did you record it seperately and input it later?

[ianb4music]

@recurveninja For this one I used the built-in camera on my Mac, but used an external mic (or two, I forget what I did on this one).

[recurveninja]

@ianb4music thanks, i was blundered by that, lol.

[weiwuwei01]

@recurveninja yea, the macbook pro is just awful for video and sound. Funny that they tout it as a multi-media platform... Anyway I do the same, I use the laptop camera, but I plug a Zoom H2 into the line-in for the macbook. When I'm not sitting at the laptop, I use a Zoom Q3 for mobile video, and that has a decent picture and also a nice mic built into it. Cheers y'all!

[wildandthewest]

great playing

[burgurs]

sounds bloody great!!!!

[TRALALINA1]

Jestem przyjemnie zaskoczony wykonaniem tej piosenki. Bardzo mi się podobało. Pozdrawiam.
