[TrentBMartinez]

I Like This Version Better

[hunterkiller3472]

Awesome version...really hits home!!!

[MrStrongarms]

great song like it more than the first !!!!!!!!

[lebmocardsfan]

The guitar part in this song is absolutely beautiful. I've always been a fan of artists who sing the material they write. The emotions are so much more evident. You can literally feel the pain in this song from Bret. The friend he's singing about in the original version was one of Poison's bodyguards named Kiko(sp?). Why can't more music be like this. Rock on Bret, CC, Rikki, and Bobby!!!

[DiabloArcade]

...best lyrics ever...

When I want to bitch about growing old,

I think about how many never had a chance…



[22infection]

this doesnt sound like cc is this richie kotzen on guitar i know cc does the orignal but this playing now doesnt sound like CC

[Memnoch67]

I wish he would have stuck to the original song, but It's his song so....no offence to who ever posted this.

[WEEFATBOAB]

love the lyrics on this version, the original still has the edge musically for me thou.

[LizzieSparrow2]

Good God. I just discovered this version about 2 months ago. It is BEAUTIFUL. I can't ever listen to the ORIGINAL version without tearing up; this version absolutely gives me goosebumps. It kills me. Does anyone know exactly what inspired Brett to write this? I'm so curious, because it's just stellar in both its delivery and the meaning of the whole thing. Truly awe-inspiring. Way to go, guys. Truly beyond words.

@LizzieSparrow2 I'm not sure about this version, but the original was written about his friend, who was a bouncer i believe, who had died. But im not sure about this version. But i absolutly love this version.

[LizzieSparrow2]

@weers94 Yeah, I heard about his friend that died. :( But this version is just as beautiful---gets me totally choked up listening to it. Thanks for posting it! :)

[victor132guitarfreak]

@LizzieSparrow2 I heard the original song was written about bret michael's bodyguard (who was also his best friend) I have to read more about this

[excapegoat]

i have heard this version for nearly 20 years.

[HaleyRenae100]

Great song!! Bret is an amazing artist, his songs always have a meaning to them.

[anomdeguerre]

this was on the B side (it actually was on both sides of the tape) of the single tape 'life goes on'. the back of the package said this was the original version. i still have the cassette... somewhere.

[MrRoadhammer10]

this is an awsome song and so true. This is why bret michaels is one great artist

[Paul8820]

This is really good. This version should have been on the Flesh & Blood Album.

[shemomos]
