Thunder Road (Cover)

[SpareRoomJams]

hey this is some good stuff check out our version of this classic if you get a chance

[electron115]

Bless you.

[722mhm]

Just excellent!

[lifeofmuzic]

Great job man

[mcs1hr]

I'm not sure whether this is my favourite song, or even whether it's my favourite Springsteen song - Factory and This Hard Land probably pip it for that acolade.

But....I can listen to this song all bloody day, as I did as work today. Just listening, thinking, day dreaming. And all the time in my head it feels like a film rather than a song.

Hope you know what I mean.

And this is an excellent cover, thanks for posting.

[Rainman270]

thanks for teaching me this. I like your version.

[thebigmarbowski84]

Hey Bill! I just caught myself watching this one again! (Like I hadn't watched enough) and I had to leave a comment... This video already became one of You Tube's finest for sure. 11.000 views that's a lot my friend! It's really brilliant, I remember watching your video over and over again so that could get the harmonica and guitar part right...LOL... Take care my friend

-Matt

[greenT331]

[eddies7]

You should play Bob Dylan songs too, and post in youtube

[MrKev02]

[eenuitduizend]

Awsome, just love it!

[mtboceanport]

Uncle Bill, I echo Philip's message of 5 months ago...love what he said...and i ditto it! lis

[billdek]

[MrMaggoo24]

This was brilliant

[davie1689]

enjoying your vids dude

especially the ones with the harp

keep them coming friend

keep the faith

[bradpamp]

love it

[GMSpringsteen]

what for an harmonica are u using?

mine is honnel blues harp v(c), will it do?

[billdek]

I play Marine Band harps - either the Special 20 or Blues. In this video I'm playing the song in the Key of E (the Born to Run album version is in F). I did an harp-only (no vocal) version of the song in F - check it out on my billdek channel.

[rhopen]

This is truly impressive billdek... one of the best covers I've ever heard on YouTube by anyone. -Ron

[nhlfan2002]

Nice job with the harmonica and guitar conjunction.

[boxer75010]

Genuine talent - fantastic guitar / harmonica and what a voice! Beautiful arrangement. Bravo!

[FiremanSteve]

I love it!

[willienelsonpri]

excellent. great vocals and guitar picking. appreciate hearing all the lyrics with the feeling you put in them. new experience with a song i've heard so many times. thanks.

[billdek]

Thanks uh.. willie? - I'm gonna do Wings for Wheels next (precursor to TRoad). it's way cool...

[willienelsonpri]

really i'm liz. jay and i run willie nelson peace research institute founded by willie 4/07. he is giving a song away, a peaceful solution, and wants people to record it and spread the message of peace.

[jmjbas]

Very well done sir! As a fan on Bruce and the E Street band, this is an amazing cover.

[colinbks11]

absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PianoDan18]

Hey BillDek I got a full version of thunder road now, tried to get my voice heard, did my best, let me know what you think.

-Dan

[DirtyRamires]

One of my favorite songs ever (and I´m not a BS "die hard" fan).

Your cover is fantastic. Thank You.

[collegepark747]

That was incredibly inspiring man...Bruce has always been a huge hero to me, and you did him justice...the harmonica was so cool to hear too man. I've got my guitar and harmonica in hand right now..

[Ma965]

Very Good Job dude.

[ATLANTISBAR]

Well done! I am from Uruguay and next month I will fly to NYC just to see Bruce for my very first time. I am 36 and been listening since I was 15, I used to sing this song walking on the way to the highschool, this song really touch me. Un abrazo

[Leonetta24]

Woooow...this cover was awesome, and your voice is amazing too! When I was a child, I always asked my dad to play it to me. :) So, it's my favourite song, and I guess it's one of the greatest song in the world! :)

[sweaerotech]

Yes the boss usually sells out in minutes over here,hope to get a hand on a few tickets next week. Also Southside Johnny is coming here in october and meatloaf to looks like one expensive music fall :-)

[sweaerotech]

When my son was new to the world I used to sing this song to him and he would go asleep beautiful song and very nice version you do Billdek.

[billdek]

thanks for your very kind words. I get a lot of comments and email from Sweden - I guess the Boss is still big there!

[simpleman11585]

billdek, that is a top 10 favorite of mine. because of this, it is a top 5. i know music, and you do one hell of a job on here. keep it up.

[billdek]

thanks so much simpleman. I'll never grow tired of this song - Bruce wrote it when he lived in the town I grew up in - I've forgiven him for the last line "it's a town full of losers... and I'm pullling out of here to win" LOL...

[jenisjewel]

that was AWESOME!!!!!!

[billdek]

thanks Jen! - it was my first YouTube upload (and my 1st "public" performance - before YouTube I only played for my girlfriend and family members). Keep playing Jen - you've got the heart! - Bill

[marcotheboy99]

Very nice. you dont try to rip off bruces way of doing this song but does your own, originalty is what it counts about, very nice!

[heelsfan2280]

I admit I wasn't expecting much when i watched this but your cover was GREAT! awesome song man and you did it well.

[davillecards08]

Uncle Bill, its Philip, great stuff, the harmonica is a nice touch. Im diggin the facial expressions too.

[billdek]

Hi Philip - your mom let you SEE this? LOL... thanks buddy... it was great seeing you up in Jersey at the weeding!

[GatesFan]

I'm a big Bruce fan, seen him a bunch of times, you do him a great justice, nice job :)

[KarenEng]

In this Video, you are the spitting image of my brother, (he's handsome, don't worry!)Lol!

[KarenEng]

Great musician, Great Voice!!!

[VodCrack]

You are actually so flippin' amazing. It is pretty unbelieveable! You are the best!

[dancityboy]

Hey Guy that was Awesome, Well done.

I would love to jam with you :)

Dan Danielsen

[aisha1424]

Awesome

[MartinFarrows]

hey billdek, what a great cover!! it's amazing, you're a master of the guitar.. the harp sounds really well too, and the voice and.. everything!

[billdek]

thanks so much Martin! I subscribed to your channel and I recommend that anyone else looking at this do the same. keep playing my friend - Bill

[billdek]

thanks guys! this was the first video I did on YouTube (in fact, it's my first "public" performance ever) I could improve a bit on the vocals I think... I just think Thunder Road is the best song ever - I'll never grow tired of it.

[Thorny2]

Awesome 5 star video! Nobody does the Boss like you.

[Durandal]

This is amazing.

[davidjosephT]

I have to say hats off to an exellent cover. I have been playing Springsteen for years and you have intriged my ambition to play his tunes again. Keep it up.

[joaoPunkEmoKid]

congratulations billdek, it's absolutely fantastic this cover! :D

[mcaterham]

WOW!! if i could sound like you i would be one happy guy great job !

[nicejoest]

I appreciate your covers very much. You have worked really hard to learn the guitar, vocals, and harmonica.... and yet...

You still give the song the passion it deserves. I'm impressed.

[eidsvig]

very nice cover

[fniazi]

Whenever I think one song of yours is the best you top it. This was nigh on perfect. If you started a Bruce cover band, I'd be so there.

[billdek]

thanks so much Farid - this was the first video I did and the song is (of course) special. I grew up in New Jersey - in Springsteen country you could say - so I feel the song right down in my gut. When I listen to it now I sort of think I was holding back a little - camera shy. Thanks again, my friend.

[einarmagnus]

That was awsame, you gave me the chill's.

I'm looking forward to learning it my self...

I'm getting a harmonica next week, and this is going to be the first song i'm going to learn. I can allready sing and play guitar pretty well. Feel free to give me some pointers on learning harmonica playing in a private message!

Keep on rocking! ;)

[vivian120]

Awesome. Brrrruuuuuuuuuucccceeeeeeeeee!

[billdek]

Vivvvvvvvvvvian! Thanks!

PS The Boss don't smoke

(okay, Bill shut up and play...)

[u04rf5]

Totally mezsmerizing man, brilliant

[mrchappelow]

That's beautiful man.

[bentonio07]

Cheeeeers, man. I never dared to do this one: it's really hard. You're doing it justice!!! Gotta watch some more!!!

[billdek]

LOL... thanks Ben. I've been playing it everyday for five years. I'm almost there.

[fenderfan]

You sound GOOD keep it up

[littledragon2007]

Your voice sound very much like Springsteen's. If I close my eyes, I would have thought it was him for a second. Would like to see you upload more videos. There aren't too many Springsteen covers on Youtube. Peace.

[thicknick27]

great job on a tough song my friend.. great emotion!

[billdek]

thanks, guys. I was a little nervous about posting it - expected lots of flames but so far none.

[spanishjohnny111]

billdek.I've been watching you for 2 days straight my friend.You are awesome.Please keep up the talent you have my friend. I consider myself one of the biggest Bruce fan on the planet.You have a gift and seeing that you are putting it to use with the greatest storyteller's songs just takes my breath away.You havea friend for life bro.
