    Congratulations^^

  • Perfecto, muy bello..Subi mas !!! 

  • Awesome cover!!! You my friend, just got a new subscriber :)

  • @16945pie It's always great to know that, thank you very much for letting me know you enjoyed this video enough to want to subscribe, i'll keep doing many more and hope that i can do others that you like.

  • .. I do not know what to say ..I can only cry

    I do not know what was your expectation

    friend ..

    but made a fan of Guns N 'Roses for 23 years of crying like a child ...I never lived something like this ..

    only GNR

    could makes me cry ...fuck

  • @kanudo1989 what would bumble foot do...?

  • great great cover my friend.

  • @myrkskog100 Thank you very much for leaving a comment. This one seemed to work a lot better than i expected as an acoustic piece. Glad that so many Chinese Democracy fans seem to have found it.

  • You did a great job with this song dude just like every other song

  • @conscript93 Thank you so much, great to hear from you, i love Catcher, one of my favourites on the album.

  • you got a great voice, but why acoustic?

  • @UkFor3ver Thank you :) I like doing acoustic versions, it's kind of my thing. :D

  • very nice version! congrtz!

  • Congratulations, you have the gift!!! Long life to Axl Rose... :D

  • make one cover of street of dreams

  • @CeSaR3o0 Awesome suggestion, i remember hearing one of the early leaks of that song and was instantly impressed with it. I love the way Axl's voice works on that one. A great track. I will certainly cover it.

  • Wow... Perfect!

    And I dont say that often!

  • This is my favorite cover you've made so far. It's easy to feel the emotions. Great job Gareth

  • This cover is amazing. Your breath control is amazing too ;D

  • I really liked this. Do you share this audio? is available for download or buy somewhere?

  • muy buen cover

  • u sing wonderfully man :) why don't you put out a guns n roses cover album of yourself ? or send you're recordings to bumblefoot to see if he likes them.

  • this stuff's great, do you have an album out of these covers?

  • 3:34 ;)

  • man! you could easily have been one of those worldfamous 80 90 artists, no kidding

  • Dude this is great! I always tried to sing it in it's original pitch, it was really hard for me but you made me see that lowering the key makes it brilliant.

    Even though I don't understand what this is song about -I tried many times to understand but my main language is not English and I don't know the culture- it always seemed great and I feel like a bizarre child running free in a flower field like there's no tomorrow, with all the worries left behind. You've strongen my feelings, it's great!

  • Beautiful

  • @Zellzify Thank you very much. Tried to keep this one simple as opposed to the heavy production work on the original Guns N Roses recording. I love playing acoustic version of songs.

  • You really have an undeniable talent. Just a tip: Sometimes, after a few verses, you have a slowing down. that does not sound good to ears. Pay attention to 0:15, 0:21, 4:28, 4:38 (Blaze of Glory at 0:20 is the worst) Making it all the time, is a bit annoying. You make one of the best covers of Guns I've ever seen. I would like to sing half of what you sing. It's just constructive criticism. I've worked with singers and have a good ear. Anyway, congratulations!

  • RESPECT MAN!

  • i LIKE YOUR VERSIONS BETTER SOMETIMES....NO... ALL THE TIME!!!! Well, I give them credit, too. ok, ok.

  • @ENAIRAMA1 I really appreciate the comment. Im no Axl, he's in a league of his own, but this is my way of paying tribute to one of my all time musical heros. :)

  • Nice work man , You reignited my passion for guitar brother. TY!

  • @tralinc Thank you man, great to hear that :))

  • PLEASE give me chords. Please.

  • Epic man, you should do a cover of If the world and Better too!!

  • I don't think I had a chance to watch this one, it's a really good cover bro! right on!

  • Gareth for President of Free World, you make me catch a bus for a long trip with this version...

    I said, pls, send some chords of your beatiful version...

  • Love it...Cant wait to here more from the album...

  • I swear my brother was passing by when I was watching the vid, and he said what band is he(you) in ( he doesn't know the guns), I lol'ed, really amazing btw

  • This is really beautiful well done :)

  • well done, sir! fuckin good shit!!

  • I've been listening to this in about an hour now. AND you added me as a friend on facebook.

    You are truly amazing!

  • @jonsitron11 Hi :) Thank you for the facebbok add :) Really appreciate your support and happy to meet you on the social network. Gareth

  • awesome!

  • OOohhh mmmyyy gooodddd.......It's... beautiful...

    I fall into the endless summer night...

    Thank you for it!

    Respect from Russia!!!

  • I love this version! Thank you, Gareth. You really make my day. Every day. :)

  • REALLY NICE.

  • @brettfury Thank you very much :)

  • Great hearing these songs stripped down. no idea why Axl layered them so much. def took away from the greatness. i can listen to these acoustic versions all day. too bad Chinese Democracy production was so terrible. Great job.

  • @machine24 Thank you so much. I did like Chinese Democracy very much but i also see the opportunity to offer stripped down, bare bones versions of the songs. I agree with you that the greatness of a song can sometimes be drowned out by over production.

  • @axl77 i rather enjoy the "overproduction," but I've always been a fan of acoustic versions of songs. It woulda been cool if GnR released an acoustic version or their acoustic live show from Rose Bar on a disc.

  • Amazing cover my friend :) greetings from BA

  • @lordcadillac Great to hear from you , thank you so much for listening and commenting.

  • i love your work, special all the appetitte covers... (im gnr fan since 87´´) BUT this tune my friend this is so way better than GNR i could listen to this all day..

  • @grizbazzen I really appreciate your words. GNR means so much to me. I owe those guys so much for all the inspiration theyve given me so its hugely satisfying for me to know that GNR fans such as yourself enjoy what i do with their music. Thank you so much, Gareth :)

  • I love this version you did! I listen to it forever! Congratulations and success!

  • @kozzme89 Thank you so much, i really appreciate your opinion and comment. Gareth :)

  • speechless !

  • Can I ask you, what microfon do you have ? That's mark ? A price ? I'm from the Czech Republic, It's possible, I'll have other price here.

  • I have covers, but this one is very quality and nice !!Good job !!

  • I have covers, but this one is very quality and nice !!! Good job !!

  • @DavidNRoses Thanks a lot man, great to hear from you , Gareth :)

  • muito bom cara !! você toca muito bem e sua voz é fabulosa !!

  • nice job mate you should have a go at better the be a crowd fav

  • Awesome cover, loved it. The lyrics are kinda messy at the ending, but the vocals are superb! I recommend another Chinese song that works well with accoustics: Better. :)

  • You really really have an incredible voice and I love it so much. Actually, as I found you on the youtube, I almost listen to them everyday lol, especially those that you'd covered GNR's epics. keep going man you're great!

  • this is a amazing song! i really love it! It just sounds so right! but what are the chords you play with this song? i tried to find them, but no tab was right:P It would be awesome if you would respond to my question!

  • Great work. Having watched many of your vid's I think your voice work's so well with an acoustic guitar. It is your biggest plus. You should really try base your original work around around your acoustic asset, maybe semi acoustic. Just an opinion dude, all the best !

  • @MrArtvandelay99 Thank you , as it happens, im planning more acoustic work soon. :)

  • I really like your voice :) this cover version is so awesome!!! would be cool to hear you cover prostitute:) keep up the good work!!

  • @axltonder Thank you so much for that :) Id LOVE to cover Prostitute, its my favourite song from the Chinese Democracy album and i'll definitely be doing a version at some stage. Infact, i'll be covering ALL the Chinese Democracy songs. 

  • You have a very good voice. I like it better than Axl's on Chinese Democracy where it sounds a little harsh to my ears. Good job!

  • i can't wait (:

    can you do "street of dreams" ?

    it's a great song.

  • I've been waiting for a chi dem song for ages, and i'm pleased to say this didn't disappoint! beautiful cover man, fair play.

  • eu so seu fá!

  • cool this man! i wonder if axl has seen it.....

  • It's great, man! Awesome vocals, cool cover! Respect!

  • @dmgeldmgel Thank you very much. always a pleasure to cover GNR. Hoping to do more very soon :)

  • Fantastic version.

    Got any tabs?

  • Hi Gareth, quick question. In your cover did you change the key of the song?? I mean, like going down a whole step or something... because when i play along with your video sounds ok, but when i play along with the original track it sounds weird. (i play the same chords you're playing because i used your cover to work out the chords)

    Anyway, great work and great voice man!! Really liked it

  • Comment removed

    /love your BIG fan Jonas!

  • @NineOne100 Jonas, thank you :) Music makes my world go round. Thanks so much for stopping by with a comment, Gareth :)

  • Sweet you finally did it a song from the new album hell yeah!

  • @merlinx81 Yes,im did This I Love too if you want to see that. Its one of my more recent clips. Gareth

  • You're great, I'm jealous of your voice... I try to sing to, but I just can't reach the high tones Axl (and you) does.

  • Good job.

  • you're awesome! your voice sing very well and I like your voice!

    sorry about my bad english.. know.. I'm from Brazil haha

  • grande!!! wonderful cover:-)

  • oh man, That is grate, I realy love it, good version

  • @AndrewAviles Thanks Andrew, im really glad that you liked it. I'll be doing more GNR very soon

  • u rock!

  • This has to be one of your best covers to date. Perfect vocal work and that guitar just flowed so well. Really enjoyed this one.

  • @Juncti Thanks for that.Its good to know im on the right track with these things. Im inspired by the reaction to these GNR covers :)

  • Amazing.....You're the best! Keep playing!!

  • @slash1898 I'll keep trying to do my best man. Great to have your feedback, thank you :)

  • Great cover gareth:)!

    I love your voice and musical direction:)

    I would love to hear you do a cover of GNR's song prostitute(this is love) from chinese democracy!^^

    Keep it up!

  • @maiden910802 Prostitute is my favourite song on that album hands down. I cant wait to cover that tune. I think its epic and immense. Love the final few bars of strings and piano too. Axl has gone on record as saying that if it were totally up to him in the world hed make an instrumental album, i cann see that heppening one day. That final sequence of Prostitute is amazing.

  • bloody awesome...one of my favs from Chinese democracy

  • @diamonddave77 Thanks a lot diamonddave :) Love the username by the way. Mine too. Im also mad keen on Prostitute. Great track to finish the album with those soothing strings after that hectic guitar noodling

  • Fantastic cover, great voice and some great adaptations on the guitar.

    Only negative is the lyric in which you sing "How about it, talk about it", it is actually "How a body took a body" (a line from Catcher in the Rye book). But as I say thats just one tiny negative.

    Keep up the good work man!

  • @deanrankin Thanks man, i was going on the lyrics on one of the GNR fan pages. Its sucks that they got that wrong if its such a crucial line from the book. Darn!! Might have to think about re-doing the whole thing. Theres nothing worse than a lyrical slip in a song that means a lot to people, thanks for the heads up :) Gareth

  • This truly is one of your best cover. So beautiful and well done, great singing and playing.

  • @krummakot Thanks a lot man,Catcher is a great song to play. Axl really knows how do to epic arrangements.

  • Is both sad and nice to hear you sing this song, because it sounds way better than GnR.

    GOD I miss the old Guns n' Roses from before the "Spaghetti Accident"...

    Thanks for all your great work Gareth :-)

  • @ElvisStillRules Hi :) Thank you so much for your comment.Id never claim to be able to touch the quality of Axl but i really appreciate you saying what you just said. Im sorry to hear that you werent fond of the new GNR stuff. My biggest issue with it is how long it took to make. Years of frustration for dedicated fans who had to make do with scraps like the Oh My God song on the End Of Days soundtrack.

  • Comment removed

  • @axl77 You are most welcome Gareth. I was not kidding. I mean it. In addition I would like to add; I really like many of your videos here on Youtube.

    Keep up the good work. You just need a great band, some new songs at the same quality level as November Rain, Don't cry, Sweet Child O' Mine, then you could create pure musical magic like GnR, one of the greatest rock bands ever, did.

  • you are very good, u deserve a record deal if u dont already have one, i am a die hard gnr fan and a fan of axl, its good to see someone covering there songs, but its better to see someone doing a great job of it, heres to u man, great fuckin job!!

  • @crazyswayzekaraoke Thank you very much.Im having a lot of fun doing these GNR songs and interacting with people.Your feedback really means a lot to me.I spend a lot of time thinking about which songs to cover and to get the thumbs up from a real GNR fan gives me a lot of satisfaction. Thank you ,Gareth :)

  • Awesome song. Awesome book. Awesome cover again.

  • @juice1991 Thank you very much.Never read the book actually. I really ought to,if not to just get a good background to this song.

  • this is the first song iv heard of that album, awesome and thx for posting

  • @sabastyne Thank you very much. You are more than welcome. I have a passion for playing the GNR songs.

  • Superb!!

    Ken G

  • @megagamer8455 Wow!!! Thats a comment i wont forget in a hurry. I should have that on the blurb bit that describes me on my channel:)) No, prefer to air on the side of being humble. I really appreciate you saying that though my freind. Much respect, Gareth :)

  • YAY! hahahaha

    awesome cover :D

  • @savannah234345 Thank you many times over. Happy that you liked my version. Hope you have a great Sunday. Gareth :)

  • Good one man, please a Street Of Dreams will be epic

  • @ELGABRIELMAN Cant wait to do that one. I love the vocal line and how it goes up an octave. Very much like This I Love in that respect. I wonder why he changed the title. I liked that it was called The Blues. As a title, it was nice red herring. It made you think youd be listening to something bluesy instead of the rock opera that is Street Of Dreams.

  • @axl77 Hell yeah :) Street Of Dreams! Can't wait to hear that one!!!

  • nice cover i like it i worked out some words for the nananana bit try putting in

    (no matter how hard that i try i carnt erase you from my mind )

  • @gnrman89 Yes,its not always easy to pick out the exact words that Axl sings.Theres a joy to discovering his lyrics though. One thing he isnt credited for enough is his strength as a lyricist. He really does have a sharp mind.

  • LOVE this song, great job bro

  • @Supergibb Me too man. Im honestly struggling to pick out a bad song on that album. Love it most of the way through

  • This is, once again, amazing.

  • @HGJDmino Thanks a lot my friend, i put a bit of extra time in to this one because the lyrics werent overly familiar to me. 

  • Sweet man, I love this one

  • @RedOrb19 Thanks man, i really got in to this song yesterday afternoon when i was rehearsing it before i did the upload. Its a great tune

  • u seirously rock

  • @adamepi8316 Thank you very much. I'm glad that you liked this version. It was an interesting song to learn the chords for. I have a healthy new respect for the original

  • Great job Gareth...as usual. Just keep doing this mate.

  • @darkfro Thanks a lot my friend. I'll never tire of doing Guns songs. As soon as ive finished them all, i'll probably go back and re-do them all again. GNR is music to me.

  • Great job!...really fantastic cover!

  • @teteroom Thank you.Im happy that you enjoyed it. It was a really great song to learn and one i'll hope to play at gigs i do in the near future

  • and that's what i say: Woohoo you Rock!!!

  • @TheLaermer93 Thank you very much. 

  • hey! did you see them when they were in britain? :D

  • @marsperMovies Unfortunately not.They still have dates in Britain in Manchester and London i believe. It's good to see Axl out there on tour but my real wish would be for him to make another album.The pressure is off him now.He's got Chinese Democracy out of the way, id love to see him spread his wings and just unexpectadly pull out another record.

  • @axl77 i saw them in denmark.. and i must say.. wow!

    you have got to go see them at some point! really!

    but yea it would be nice to hear a new album...

    but for now.. go see a show! i can only recommend it!!

  • @marsperMovies I saw them in Sheffield four years ago. That night was the first night of the UK tour too. It was a great night apart from that i was a long way back from the stage. Not easy to appreciate the full quality of the sound from too far back.

  • Nice job! ;)

  • @eksces2000 Thank you.It was an interesting song to learn :)

  • another classic remasterd in perfection top jobGareth

  • @thecritic2007 Thank you my friend. Its always good to read your feedback. Im hoping to spend next week doing more and more

  • Fantastic cover of a fantastic song! Great work!
