Episode 14: Kevin Rudolf - She's Gone

[jayraka]

Theres a certain vulnerability to his performance that is kind of cool. I like this better than Rob Thomas' version because although not perfect its more real. If you want perfect listen to the studio version.

[alienhuman]

Mr. Hall is too kind to this squirrel.

[alfa02189]

Just gross...I got to go and toss my cookies...my toilet flushing sounds better!

[Genkimark]

This is like a bad drunk guy at Karaoke, lol...

[yellofury]

Rob Thomas did this song justice

[BugTubeOrg]

I grew up to Daryl's original so I think I have a good opinion on this.

To tell you the truth I did not here of this guy before this.

I liked it very much; just another dimension to this song.

I'm sure Mr. Hall is smiling with approval, not ridicule.

[jrds62]

Mejor hubiera ido yo a hechar mis gorgoritos.

[pyrrho1000]

I think Kevin Rudolf did a great job with the song, especially his lead guitar work (using his Les Paul for the rhythm was also a nice touch). So far as singing goes, he's no Daryl Hall, but he can hold a tune. All props to him.

[parsonsclubmarket]

What a shadly charactar~

[sevenzdown]

This kid is on the show because he wrote a great rock song. That was enough for Daryl; if you watch that video, the band seems to enjoy the hell out of playing the kids song. I don't think anyone there minds the kid scuffing up a few covers.

[angied818]

If you guys need a PA or crafty or anything like that, let me know. I would love to help on a session.

[aviansoul]

Never heard of Kevin Rudolf... really good performance with a nice touch on the lead. Thumbs up from me!

[kkomrada]

OMG he is awesome

[adamatova]

Rob Thomas did this so AWESOMELY.

[leit420]

started out kinda i dont know, but turns into an awesome acoustic she's gone. i think the smile are smiles of joy from the beautiful music.

[fooltosign]

OMG.... he is terrible!

[brigdob]

The better lyric is "One less tooth brush hangin in the stand".

[mikebtko]

that was really special, so cool, loved that, the lyrics were always so killer, you can really break your heart to that tune, it tucks back, then gets emotional, still great, still would be a hit...

[mikebtko]

that was really special...

[caraphyllis]

How generous of Daryl to give "She's Gone" to Rudolf to perform. It's one of Hall & Oates' best tunes, but if it had been recorded by this guy it would have tanked. I notice the band members smiling now and then to avoid bursting out laughing. This guy is so freaking lousy that they can't quite believe he's on the show.

Even the great Daryl Hall makes a mistake sometimes, and inviting this puppy was indeed a mistake. But it's OK Daryl, I forgive you because you are basically awesome.

[CletusColtrane]

@caraphyllis

Relax....it's the guy paying respect to Darryl and H and O, does he sing it as good as John, obviously not. It's usually a non-musician who berates others, this guy has huge blls to sing this in front of these guys, lol

[caraphyllis]

@CletusColtrane I assume Rudolf has done some good stuff for Daryl to invite him on the show. Maybe it was an off day for the poor guy. But it just sucked. Not sure what your point is about non-musicians berating others. I am a musician (big deal), and I'm not berating anybody. Berating means yelling at. I'm giving my opinion, which is what folks do on YouTube. This episode surprised me, but I love still love Daryl & the show. Sharon Jones, Todd Rundgren -- now we're talking.

[CletusColtrane]

@caraphyllis

This guy is so freaking lousy that they can't quite believe he's on the show.

Sound berating to me, no biggie, I just don't see the point in going out of your way to be so negative.......

I'm gonna delete my posts don't want to add further "hate" to the thread

[DensetsuTito]

@caraphyllis I think Kevin did a good job :P

[arundelthomas]

do you think these cats would be messin with this dude if he didnt have heart and soul? Ifell em

[arundelthomas]

all these credits came spot talent better than daryl i guess lol

[CSxWOOF]

saw him sing an acoustic version of let it rock and his voice sounded way better compared to this... this sounds like he has some kind of throat infection or whatever thats causing his voice to sound weird which is probably why he couldnt hit some of the notes like he did in the let it rock acoustic version

[Rshimy]

@CSxWOOF the difference is that this is real music. This trendy flavor-of-the-month douchebag cant do real music. only radio pop

[CSxWOOF]

does he have an acoustic version?

[Rshimy]

this guy fucking sucks. 

[rollingthunder02908]

@Rshimy I Agree 100%

[shawnkylemcclure]

@Rshimy He lets it rock...but fails

[ihatehumansalot]

@Rshimy agreed, this guy should give up music. terrible

[arundelthomas]

sorry guess thats a maj

[arundelthomas]

wow i cant believe i actually got to post you yubes twisted lately. Daryls #1 then paul young. But im into waht d's doin the room sounds great nice drums sound. Makes me sad to see t bones last days. He was agreat all round musician and his acoustic gtr playin is superb. I mean as soon as i saw todd was on this i went right for it. This cat rudolf. I like that he chose open e. I mean at the send of the song those b and e string are wide open it jangles and i like the song in e maj now

[arundelthomas]

no this guys cool and into open chord so he kool

[stevegeraci1]

Rudolph cant play in the same reindeer games Daryl can

[allphase41]

This guy sucks ,just like all the others that dayrall has at his house,Let me show him what I can sing,oh no you have to be somebody,oh ok Day rail Bring back Todd Rundgren, and listen to this guys amateur guitar solo, i cant friggin believe it.I cant b elieve it Day Rail you stooped low for this one

[allphase41]

This guy sucks ,just like all the others that dayrall has at his house,Let me show him what I can sing,oh no you have to be somebody,oh ok  Day rail Bring back Todd Rundgren

[allphase41]

This guy sucks ,just like all the others that dayrall has at his house,Let me show him what I can sing,oh no you have to be somebody,oh ok Day rail

[serp188]

Why did Daryl ever work with this loser. Kevin Rudolf blows. He was hardly even in key half the time. Love Daryl, just cant believe he plaed with this dude.  There's a first for everything I guess.

[guiterry]

Everything about this song is wonderful EXCEPT Kevin Rudolf!! How did THAT happen!?!?

[WhiteNacho]

Goosebumps here too!

[alphabeets]

Amazing! Goosebumps bigtime.

[need2loosegirth]

wow the harmonies

[gibsg62]

This video shows us all what kind of Musician Daryl is... A great one !

[gronn76]

Booooo!  Get the hook.

[ModernSaxDotCom]

I found my new favorite YT channel!

[lettux]

WTF with this guy???? is this a joke???

[mattdaddyful]

@lettux Hehehehe

[peechyq]

HOLY HELL HOW DID THIS GUY GET SIGNED??????

[LetsRock242]

@peechyq he got signed because he kept trying and not listening to people like you

[mashomegula]

It's obvious to me that some people make it on their ability to bullshit people rather than musical talent. Kevin may be charismatic and some what creative, but the guy can't sing. Then again nether can Bert Bacharach who is a great song writer !

[F1ipPr0md1]

FLAT! lol!

[stupidgluetruck]

is it chilly in dayl's house? and too well lit, it seems...

[tarasvoice]

No offense to who ever this guy is but I don't like how he doss this song anf it frustrates me becuz Daryl is righ there in the room and I rather hear him sing this wonderful song. The other guy is singing it all different and not the same way and it does not make it ring as true to me...I like this show though it was a cool idea to play live form his actual house.

[CalgarSkull]

Why isn't Daryl SINGING INSTEAD!!!!????

[Khazanah]

go back to Cash Money studio Kevin..... or sign to Aftermath record!

how and why did mr Hall invite him anyway?????

[jshaouy]

Kevin is so adorable, he rocks it everytime...

[MrBlackBrit]

Rock on, mate.  That was the shit.

[mikmaz777]

effin great song...effin shittiest version ever

[raoulrecto462]

killed the song...not good

[thechadwasgreat]

this is a joke, right?

[BARCATNEW]

They should play this song with this fuckhead singing to get terrorists to talk!! The new tool for the CIA ..I would take water boarding over this anyday..DAMN!!

[vanzan12]

honestly i dont think it was that bad.. but i must agree, rudolf is not a great singer^^ there are a lot of youtube videos that prove it (more than this one)

[Ms0Oo]

Love U Kevin..Kevin your telent

[ladybluluv]

yuck

[Rshimy]

Dude this guy fucking sucks, i never heard of him, thankfully.

[BARCATNEW]

I threw out my headphones this guy sucked so bad...Tried on my new ones and this ass hat sux even worse!! T Bone should have shoved his hat in this Kevin who the fuck cares' mouth!!

[Straydogger]

I understand the idea of this show and I love most of the things they do there but, I'm sorry, this guy just doesn't work with this kind of music.

[Starlitblond]

Dam!! wish I could be there!1

[pars4245]

was surprised darryl didn't hit him over the head w/ his guitar...JESUS !! terrible !!

[Starlitblond]

lol..

[hateangie]

is that kenny arnoloff on drums?

[jesusofraleigh]

*Aronoff

And yes, that's him. He is one of the four rotating drummers Daryl uses in this series.

[usamericanz]

Can't believe Daryl is 63 years old...looks pretty damn good for a senior citizen.

[TacoEatinCarlos]

why dont you suc his little shriveled up coc you faggot

[Rudolfhead]

Every time I see this, I wanna cry! Why do some songs (and musicians)  =) do that to me?

[MegAnnMon]

Me too! idk why but it usually only happens with kevin!

[XxSUPERMARIOxX]

cause hes awesome =)

[MegAnnMon]

Yeah... I know!

[Rshimy]

this guy sucks, are you serious? he couldnt hold a tune for his life

[BIGSOULMAN1]

Agreed!, terrible and embarrasing!

[Icefreeze96]

@Rshimy I bet he did better than you would if you sang it!!!!!!!!

[BARCATNEW]

I think I just threw up a little in the back of my throat listening to this dipshit!! I can't wait till "He's gone" this guy really fucked up a good song! What a fuck head!!

[Athena97p]

lovely <333333333333

[12Jetdiver55]

I remember Hall and Oates from the 70's. I didn't know Daryl was a Pottstown boy. I used to work out of Pottstown Muni. Airport. I remember hearing about the Lunchonette.

[mccart31]

another great song ... great singing !! aswell !!! i loved it !!! thanks for posting !!!

[12Jetdiver55]

Exactly......

[12Jetdiver55]

You just don't see the beauty of this.

[PrincessPrepMonica11]

^^

KEVIN!!!!!!!<3

his voice ! AH ;D

im getting chills (:

or is it just cold in here .

NO . ITS HIS VOICEEEEE :DDDD

<3

lmaoo.

[12Jetdiver55]

What an awesome version of this song!!! Excellent!!!!!!!! I wish I knew all the chords.

[HurricaneKristin]

Kevin definately can sing! His voice is great and he has amazing songs too. He definately did this song justice. If you ask me, it's better than the original.

[Millertime9969]

Better than the original... that's ridiculous. His voice is monotone and garbage. Without autotune and voice effects this guy is even more untolerable.

[HurricaneKristin]

I've heard him sing live before. He's great. His voice is genuine and it's something no one has done before. You could stop insulting him anytime, you know he's more talented than you'll ever be

[mugwaii2008]

this Kevin cant sing at all, sorry to tell ya...he is off key everywhere......

[coolpankerin]

KEVIN ist der grösste :i love him sssssoooooooooooooooo much

[BARCATNEW]

I just noticed this guy even sucks at playing the guitar!! What a dickhead , he is trying all the trends, glasses, hat ,scarf, shitty voice. etc..

[tobioreo]

Awsome vocie he rocks

i just notcied something i think that before new years he had a awsome vocie but when new years came he start having vocie promblem. am just saying

[Rudolfhead]

What a beautiful voice! I'm getting chills! <3

[lucy08294127]

I LOOOO000OOVE KEVIN! xD

period.

[MinnieRebelde8]

I LOOOOOOVE KEVIN! xD

period.

[okltsply]

Why would Darryl let this clown who can't sing try to sing one of his most soulful songs, when it's obvious he has none. This idea that older musicians have, that they need to hang with younger "artists" to be "relevant" is just stupid and produces turds like this version.

[Darksunny1993]

super ^^...

[dtowndatmycity]

Dang i love diz song i love Kevin Rudolf =)

[rmiller9969]

That was terrible. I can't believe Daryl dealt with that. H&O your rock but Randolf is a talentless flavor of the month. Who's next to duo, Lady GaGa?

[HurricaneKristin]

Kevin did it WAY better than Hall & Oats. And it's RUDOLF. If you're going to insult someone, get their name right. And Kevin has more talent than you could ever dream of.

[rmiller9969]

Well your obviously a dumb deaf Cunt. Because Kevin who gives a fuck sucks my balls.

[HurricaneKristin]

And you're obviously a loser who has nothing better to do than call a girl a cunt on the internet because she defends a friend of her family. Kevin has talent and way more fans that you could ever dream of. Grow up. He has way more talent than you.

[rmiller9969]

It's obvious that your a friend of his because it blinds you to think he's talented. I'm 10x more musically talented than this douche. People who aren't talented get famous all the time. Hilary Duff, Lady GaGa, ect. Flavor of the month.

[HurricaneKristin]

Prove you're 10x more musical. You get famous, have a number 1 hit and release an album containing only songs you wrote. Not to mention, he's played guitar in many songs. He obviously has talent. I'll give you Hillary Duff. But Kevin definately has talent and doesn't deserve your criticism. He did nothing to you.

[ivettexxx]

he wrote every song on his album, played every instument in those songs (except piano in two of them), sung those songs, and produced them. he's been writing songs for big named artists, ones that you probably like, and his debut song hit number 5 on the billboard. now, u acomplish all that, and then you can talk. because i'm sorry, but singing christmas carols when you're drunk, doesn't count as musical talent. so don't go on videos to trash a guy you don't even know. got it, asshole?

[Millertime9969]

This guy is terrible.

[HurricaneKristin]

You're terrible! Leave Kevin alone. Don't be jealous

[TacoEatinCarlos]

suc a negar dick faggot

[usamericanz]

you know, i realize you're a drooling retarded moron, but still, it's the rare depths of stupidity that is evident when someone can't spell 'suck' or the N-word. maybe you should stop destroying your braincells by getting hight sniffing your sister's panties and pick up a book? just a thought.

[TacoEatinCarlos]

You a fucing negar loving faggot as well. IN mexico I would eat your cum and then fuc your ass after I rape your sister ombre. And i get high off spray paint and shooting my load in your face faggot

[lifewifiznj]

wtf you need a hobby

[coolpankerin]

wow !!!!!!!!! das ist echt ein geiles lied !♥ :O

[BARCATNEW]

This is what you get if Steve Perry from Journey and Tom Cruise butt fucked and had a kid!!

[MusikMan54321]

stinks!!! my whole body hurts

[dan270145139]

which 1 of them is daryL/ the old one or the one with medium blond hair?

[ivettexxx]

dude, if ur saying the old one is the one with the sunglasses, that's kevin rudolf and he's 26. serious burn!

[Happybep]

i looooooooooove kevins voice. He is so sweeeeeeeeeeeet <3

[lucy08294127]

Think i'll spend eternity in the city.

this part is very well.=D

[treoguy]

The guy with the sunglasses sucks!

[HurricaneKristin]

That's Kevin Rudolf and no he doesn't

[bja214]

come on guys, you've got to give him some credit. i mean, you've got to be some kind of top notch fuck-up to butcher a tune that bad with Daryl Hall and company backing you up.

[sheilaherron]

All the dogs in the neighborhood started howling when I played this out loud!

[BARCATNEW]

This guy really sux..Daryl should have reached over and choked this ass puppet with his own scarf!!

[sheilaherron]

Ouch!!! This one hurt my ears... It must be so hard for Daryl to listen to this... just goes to show what a nice guy he is

[BARCATNEW]

Who the fuck is kevin rudolf..This version BLOWS

[HurricaneKristin]

I love Kevin Rudolf!!! His voice is great

[BARCATNEW]

Get straight to the doctor QUICK your hearing is all fucked up!!!

[tanyaxoxoo]

favorited!

[melissastarr]

love this!

[SuddenSparkles]

Kevin does justice to a great song. I love his plaintive voice. Song for a plaintiff in a divorce suit.

[KevinRudolfChica]

he gets finer and finer everytime i see him!!!

[Vanezziza]

Uhh! I love it =)

[05beustace]

I love this version it is bang upto date. Hall and Oates are outstanding I've been a fan for years and Darly just knows how to jam.

[pneilson]

WOW!! You should release this version.

[GerryCoyle]

I think we need John Oates in there.......QUICK!

[vladka182]

<3<3

[warforger2nd]

That's it? There's nothing else on this guy other then a awesome music video >_>

[NGdetroit]

Good Question?

[PhDSociology]

WHY do you delete the comments??
