Abacab - Genesis cover

[kneelandpray1]

Pezzo fatto veramente bene e voi siete veramente bravi!!!

[Netthuno]

Beautiful song!

[bbuteo]

Wow, fantastic performance, I love it.

[vanhalter]

@bbuteo Thanks... have a nice week!

[pagani43]

You sound just like Phil!

[vanhalter]

@pagani43 Thanks for the comment ... but Phil is unparalleled! Ciao

[XxWeCryMercyxX]

good cover , Great song. vocals- pretty much spot on as far as sounding like phil collins. drums- very good job , chester thompson would be proud, keys -sounding good, guitar-well done, awesome ending. my only complaint is that the tempo is a bit fast , the tempo needs to slow down a bit. but then again when your on stage playing in front of people , you get amped up. 4 and a half stars..........

[vanhalter]

@XxWeCryMercyxX Thanks!

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

The song is open to interpretation. They have the basics down. I liked this!

[georgeman2468]

Oh dear, schoolboy error with keyboards. One of the chords is completely wrong! Im a keyboard player, have been for years. With Genesis songs, its paramount you get it spot on with all the details cos thats what fans listen out for.

[vanhalter]

@georgeman2468 excuse me but we are not a professional musicians, we are a old friends that we have one day in a week for go out of house. And if one cords is wrong, we live however! Ciao

[amccann7]

@spargiland tra poco mi sa che dicono che i Genesis sbagliano la pronuncia di alcune parole! ahahaha

[kingofkeyboards]

LOVE IT!

[2base]

Heard quite a few covers of this favorite Genesis song of mine, believe it or not -- and this is by far the best! You guys rock! Wonderful playing and great vocals! Thanks for posting!

[vanhalter]

Thanks 2base for the nice comment... At least you have not criticized us for the pronunciation of the text! Ciao

[tiedupsmurf]

[vanhalter]

Thanks for your support! patrickdrennan

We agree with you... the words are wrong, but shortly will try to learn the correct text ok! Ciao

[vanhalter]

Grazie Gretaziu... un saluto da KASESPARSE CIAO

[Triphammerband]

I thought this was too fast too, but when you play live sometimes you are nervous and this just happens. It sounds great anyways!!!

Nice job, sounds great!!!

[vanhalter]

Thanks Mark!

[vanhalter]

also you have to know, that this has been the our first "exhibition live"..

[slamndave]

beats a bit fast your right but it sounds good

[izarac88]

i thought it a little fast ,but it still sounds proper good boys.

[vanhalter]

izarac88 This is the fast version... live !! Ah..Ah.. Ciao and Thanks for your comment.

[hermanhurensohn]

Mix things up and exercise them, its pure fun and it should not take him any longer than say a day or two to achieve that.

Exercises like those will make him flexible in doing great stuff while performing his gear.

Like i said: I like your version just get it all straight and perfect in timing. timing is very crucial to this very song. The song becomes hypnotizing when the timing is perfect.

[vanhalter]

Hi hermanhuresohn, thanks for the suggestions.. even if I have spent much time for translating them in Italian language.. ha..ha.. Greetings from Milan Italy

[hermanhurensohn]

After this is accomplished, he could play those parts with left and right hand on two manuals of his organ and when this is done to perfection hi probably will be able to play part one with his left hand over part two, using his right hand.

[hermanhurensohn]

Anyway, he could try to play part two over part one and then part one over part two.

First he can do it until there is no difference between cd playback and him and then do it with his right hand, after that, start over again and do it with his left hand.

[hermanhurensohn]

From what i have expirienced, the song can be played up to 150 bpm´s but it is crucial that everyone is all the time very very exact in what he is executing. Timing is crucial.

Exercise it until you can play it backwards.

Nice training for the keyboarder:

After the chords there is this little keyboard riff from Eb to f to g and afterwards from Eb to Bb F to G , well i havent got the clue if you understand what i mean, the notation differs from european to american.

[hermanhurensohn]

Hi. Nice attempt, but the keyboarder missed out on notes. if he wishes, i send him a transcribtion of the exact thing that has been played on the record. Back then i was young and had an awful lot of time at my hands....

The git part from g to a to c and so on, isnt as it used to be played.

apart from that, i like pretty much what you did there. From my point of view, the feeling isnt gone just because you´ve decidet to play the song at about 145 bpm. It sounds pretty good to my ears.

[vanhalter]

hermanhurensohn can you send me the transcribtion? Thanks Ciao

[SireThomasAsh]

Sorry, but this version is more'n rocksong. It's much too fast. Groove's gone...

[vanhalter]

Thomas, what you say is correct... it is too much fast.. I think as you! The next one us, will play more slowly this song ok!

[morgoth195]

You missed all the guitar during the chorus, but not a bad attempt, just needs a little work. Keep trying, brother!

[antericka]

Exellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[vanhalter]

Merci!!

[FaceValueUSA]

Nice. See FaceValueUSA for my bands version. We are over seas. Ciao!?

[Ocampa]

Very well done! Ciao from Holland. :)

[vanhalter]

Ciao Ocampa and thank you!

[xpack1]

I thought it was cool for a live version. Vocals sound like Phil. Very hard to match sounds of bands perfectly.

[vanhalter]

Thanks xpack1...Ciao from Milan

[xpack1]

No worries mate. Ignore all these comments. It's easier to point out the bad than the good. I'm in a band and know how hard finding a good sound is. Sounds awesome. Keep it up!

[vanhalter]

Thanks xpack1 unfortunately are not good to sing in English, but hope that the music is enough good!

[entangled1]

dont give up the day job ! learn the lyrics man jesus !!!

[vanhalter]

Sin! So this evening could not eat! Ciao bello..

[bakedaddy747]

Drums need to groove more. It sounds like Tre Cool from Green Day trying to play R&B.

Play behind the beat a little...you are playing on top the beat.

[rambaldibia]

Awful and amateur cover, a lot of mistakes, wrongs sounds, incorrect lyrics, very bad drummer, bass played with fingers (Abacab is played with a pick) etc,etc....sorry but Genesis deserve MORE RESPECT.

[vanhalter]

Rambaldibia we are an amateur cover band , don't do it for job. We have never studied music and we are autodidactic! We play for fun, if we make some error you have to excuse us but we will see to improve. Hi from Milan Italia Ciao from Milano Italy

[myklem]

I think you did a fantastic job. A great rendition of a great tune! Keep up the great work; you're good musicians.

[TheTayMan]

Yeah, that is pretty sloppy... Martin Levac's band is the best band around.

[italicon64]

Fantastic Cover

[vanhalter]

thanks Italicon..

[valliseasons1]

great job on and excellent genesis tune. drummer should practice alittle more and get the right toms lol (8 and 10) sounds better, great guitar and keyboards, 9/10 for you guys!!

keep some genesis tunes coming

[vanhalter]

Thank's Valli... from Italy

[JanineRobin]

i was wary of watching this because i love the song but you did a great job, well done!

[perrob83]

my favorite genesis song, hard to play. great performance, for a first time.

[toioba]

Fantastic, the keyboard and guitar sound very similar to the original one.

[toioba]

Fantastic, the keyboard and guitar sound very similar to the original one.

[jnkirk1974]

Everyone did really well. The keyboardist's timing is off a lot and missed some notes. Still, pretty good.

[vanhalter]

Jnkirk you are right, but this is our first time that we play live and some mistake can be accepted.. however it is not true badly as a whole? Hi and thanks

[bassman5588]

Great Job!! This is a hard song. You guys did it very well. Keep at it.

[vanhalter]

Thanks for comment Bassman5588...

[BassOperator]

Really nice performance. I'm really impressed. Greetings from Poland.

Adam Gordon

[vanhalter]

Spettacolo veramente bello. Io realmente sono entusiasmato. Saluti dalla Polonia. This is the translation in Italian of your comment! Thanks Ciao and (regards in Poland)

[formula602]

Nice,but maybe try playing it a little slower...it has a heavy groove,and you guys seemed to be rushing a bit..let it "breathe" a bit.......the drummer should be putting more emotion into every snare beat.....just my 2 cents

[TheOneAndOnly89x]

Nice song :] Ciao Ciao, baci

[RedbackDrummer]

nice job but leanr the lyrics

[vanhalter]

Hi RedbackDrummer, You have really reason, has to study us the lyrics... but we play in italy and the people doesn't make us case at lyrics, so' don't study! However now on youtube they see all over the world us and then will learn the English! Hi and thanks

[vanhalter]

I'm happy that you have appreciate this song!! Happy New Year dear Fluffy... Ciao
