it's a shame peoples' lives can end up like his, and everyone (including me) just sits there trying not to think about it, or we just walk past homeless people and see them as some kind of blight on our 'perfect' society. but they're people.
@Iarehascheeseburger Some poeple just need a helping hand. Everyone at one point does. No matter rich or poor, in my eyes no life has any more value then anyone else. This is truly amazing though,this is what i wuld call a true musicians. Poor as dirt and making it this far. Man, fuck fame.
People stating that many doesn't in fact think he is good based on musical talent, but rather on that he is homeless. Of course music is better with a story, but I suppose that is forgotten nowadays
He does an amazing rendition. It's sounds completely sinister and extremely hurt filled, compared to the original. I suppose that's a good way to interpret the song.
best singer I ever heard was in a train station in london at night under a bridge (ha london bridges) there was a homeless guy with a guitar who looked like and probably had been sleeping in shit for 6 months - but the sound he was making was angelic - people just walking by ignoring him - I must have been there for an hour - he wasnt singng to anybody just purging his soul it sounded like !! a sad lonely/beautiful sound !!
Fucking brilliant, if i could sing like anyone it would be this guy. I play guitar but if i was a vocalist this is who i'd want to be like. Such simple plucking but the voice makes him shine!
@tanbo15 Sad to say but it is because he does not make teenage girls wet and turn on closet gay teeneage boys who would never admit secretely listening to beiber!; And, not anyone would probably buy a poster of this guy because we live in such a sick and fake superficial coorporate world!
@freakinstein69 Erm he hasn't played guitar for 30 years and he didn't own the guitar his playing on, was provided by the studio. And the guitar part isn't supposed to be amazing to begin with, the title isn't "Through fire and flames by a homeless guy". As for retard, you obviously haven't gotten your facts straight so what gives you the liberty to imply that this person is a retard? I just hope you're one of those attention whores in which case i don't mind you acting up.
he probably transposed the music to fit his vocal range, he played different notes due to him transposing the song, and he can play the song anyway he wants too. its why its called a cover.
This man makes better music with his voice, an acoustic guitar, and a microphone than any pop star can make with thousands of dollars worth of fancy studio effects, and the best producers money can buy. This is what music is about.
Why? This is real life for some people, but isn't what the most People want see...good man! Thanks for upload. It's a very good covered song in live. Greetz & a good, lucky new year 2012.
I know before hand that I am vastly out numbered and that this comment will be beaten, but I honestly don't understand why everyone loves this guy so much. In all honesty, its blowing up just because he's homeless. If this was just some random guy that posted this online it would be trolled on..
@TheDailyGnarticle I sort of agree. He's not a bad singer, but also not anything special, and he's a pretty bad guitar player, to be honest. I would probably give him a few bucks if I heard him on the street, because he's better than most buskers by a long shot, but give him a record deal? Yeah right.
@a3th3r dude...listen to his cover of creep. his voice is beautiful. it's the kind of rusty worn-down voice which only a homeless guy could have and it makes him real special.
@TheDailyGnarticle the fact that he's homeless certainly helps the sob story aspect of it but nowadays there's very few professional musicians that can actually make the listener feel their emotions and connect with them. i believe that is something special and should not be ignored
@TheDailyGnarticle If you don't hear his voice, I'm sorry for you.. Go back and here his creep cover. His voice is special and he sings with so much feelings. I don't care if he was the worlds richest guy or homeless, he sings in a way I don't hear often.
@Sloveren I do hear his voice... I never said he didn't put emotion into his singing. I just said he doesn't really have musical talent and once again, he is getting this publicity because he is homeless. He makes multiple errors in this video and people are still shitting themselves over it. I think in my previous comment I was actually pretty reasonable.
@assassinbbx I agree with you about that, but there are many talented artists out there right now waiting to be discovered who will put just as much emotion into their work. I still stand by my comment that if he was not homeless, people would be ridiculing him.
I feel that he is indeed rather good, a plesent voice etc... But I have to agree with you, there are pletty of singers who are equaly good or even better that never get this kind of recongizion. This is prolly due to the "fairytale" situation. Anyway, if someone
he can sing but he cant play guitar dislike this comment all you want a mean the guy deserves to be on the tv on the charts ect but get someone to teach him to play or play with him cause the guitar thing just aint working sorry |:
this went right into my fav section , r u kiddin me , this guy is awesome , just saw his "creep" video b4 and now this here !! someone should give him a album contract
@Thebeastfromtheweest the tabulature isnt all that difficult. He's not using any other string except the first one. You really should be able to tab this yourself even if you just started playing.
@CAD742 clever mom joke. what, only you can fuck with people? i comment one single word and your pussy ass can't handle it? god damn. and not only that but you didn't even use assure correctly, dumb fuck.
@Wahoofuck A room, new clothes and a freaking record deal. WTF is wrong with them, they got a great man there and they won't help him? I don't get people today? I seriously don't.
some folks are just born with it...hes one uvem,that voice,is so Joe Cocker-like......"that boys good"
