Buddy Holly Tribute - "Rave On" by Robert Miller

[Cowboy11474]

It's guys like this who keep the spirit of Buddy Holly alive. Thank you!!!

[bellbonne]

an honorable cover. I was lucky enough to hear Buddy Holly when he was alive--and this cover has the sincerity and humility that Buddy Holly displayed in his performance.

[TigerArmyNeverDies]

This is awesome! Thanks for keeping the spirit of Buddy alive! One of the greatest musicians to ever walk this earth.

[trextrextrex]

Darned good. And that's from someone who know's



[Karlpetry]

very cool. Don't stop, do more!!!!!!!

[MrGlue42]

i loved it! you might not of had the "oomph" that buddy had but this is really good

[flagle35]

i like it good job do what u love

[voidforpurpose]

Nice take, but you need wilder suits, skinner ties and more gy-ra-tishuns!

RAVE ON!

[slashgnr12]

Really great work ;) just ignore people like "Violinroy" he dont know what he talks about ;)

[violinroy]

Just hold still! all that walking around is 1970s and 80s stuff.

[violinroy]

This is horrible

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

@violinroy "Horrible"? lol, well I guess there's always someone who has to be negative. How about you post your own version as a video response and we'll let people compare. ;)

[TheDJGrandPa]

@RobertJeffreyMiller Well, that's one of the worst responses to give, you can dislike something without the ability to do it yourself. I myself can't play this song half as good as you, and I can't sing as good as you, but I didn't really like it... The singing is false enough for me to notice it (and according to people, I'm pretty bad at noticing it), over-all, you did everything right "technically", but it lacks one thing.

Rock and Roll.

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

@TheDJGrandPa Well, his critique was worse; yes, I could do better, but I know my performance wasn't "horrible". At least your critique isn't just "you suck".

[rjs11189]

@violinroy Wrong. Dude, I'm a huge fan of your stuff. Its awesome, keep on doing what you're doing.

[stringbenderE2E]

@violinroy what do you do, find someone playing Buddy Holly and type in "This is horrible" ???. I've seen this same remark from you on other Buddy Holly videos. Why don't you get yourself a hobby or something?

[coolhand67]

@RobertJeffreyMiller I think it is really good. Good job!

[johnsain]

Anyway - Great performance!....minor point but 'spazz' out a little.....rubber soles?

[johnsain]

dude,....put some more of your 'body' into the solo. ; )

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

Body Holly? I didn't want to slip on the floor. :P

[Iyebaka]

Very good.

[BobandyHolly]

Great and we have the same name too !

[nestorgs]

Well done, dude!!

[dragonheart1947]

great sound, kudos to the singer, keep the old days rolling

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

Thank you very much, dragonheart! I'll do my best! :)

[sweatlove07]

The Absolutely Best Performer of Buddy Holly Songs on the World is Angus McGregor !!

The Voice of him is so Great ! Absolutely Perfect Show ever I´seen. The Songs playing here on Youtube : Oh Boy and Rave on.

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

McGregor doesn't quite have Buddy Holly's stance down (left leg in front of the right by a step and slightly to the side, with the right leg keeping time to the beat, for example) and his tone is a bit nasal-sounding in the two songs on YouTube, but it does look like he puts on an amazing show.

[TheBuddyfan]

One of my all time favourites.Wish I could play my Strat the way you do!Is there any CD available??

[mskittykatty]

I am still lokkin for my Buddy Holly. I lost you in the parking lot. this guy rocks. love it. rave on my fav song by the late great Buddy Holly.

[lolakitty4484]

This is amazing! absolutely the best cover ive seen so far! youve got it all down, tone beat, everything! well done!

[MagiMysteryTour]

I bet you Buddy Holly would have liked Mellencamp's music though

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

Oh I agree.

[feeona27]

this is my favourite song of Buddy Holly that you do and I think u do it so well. Its to bad u cant to Buddy for PNE cause you'd definitely win the whole show with it. I can tell you guys I saw him live for this performance and it was amazing!!Made my heart melt even more so than usual.

[reimansuccessteam]

Wow you are great

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

Thanks!

[jamierourketen]

where are the crickets?robert you are cool but you need the double bass and the mad drummer!!!!! hell i will do it!!!!

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

Thanks, jamie! I will be putting a band together for my Buddy Holly tribute for future shows.

[StikPivot]

Excellent. You've got it man.

You have inspired me to start playing again

Have a look at my efforts if you have time. I'd like to know what you think

Cheers

Spencer (Luton, England)

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

Thanks, Spencer, I enjoy your videos and am glad you have started playing again!

[PeteAndJakee]

i have thr original rave on song on cd and i love it i sing it in school alot and the kids sing a long

[popeyekds]

Wow.. Man You Made Me A Fan.. Been A Fan Of Buddy Since I Was A Little Kid... You Should Think About Doing A Buddy Holly Album... His Songs.. Id Buy Em.. lol

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

Thanks, popeyekds! I am working on an album of my own stuff but will likely be doing some Buddy recordings at some point as well. :)

[CashFan4]

Where were you when they casted The Buddy Holly Story. You kick ass!

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

:D Thanks CashFan4, you made me chuckle. Thanks CashFan4, dlpine & Leftovers666 & everyone for your nice comments, which have convinced me to continue doing my Buddy Holly tribute while I pursue my own songwriting. I just have to work on the hair. I had to do it myself and didn't have enough time to style it closer to Buddy's way.

[dutchpuppy2]

You need to "attack" the text more.  You seem concerned to sound "pretty" instead of energetic. (I used to do Buddy's stuff. At least you have hair ;) as mine has thinned out way too much).

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

"I feel pretty, oh so pretty." :p Well, I only had about 3 hours of sleep so I was lucky to even be conscious! It's a fair comment though.

[CashFan4]

AWESOME!!!!

[dlpine]

RJM, again i am so impressed with your talent. and buddy holly is a personal favorite of mine. what he did in twenty-two years amazes me. do you perform professionally? i sure hope so. thanks.

[Leftovers666]

Nice cover

Love That Song

[rockabillyotis]

You got the groove - Nice cover!

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

Thank you very much, rockabillyotis and everyone else, for all the wonderful comments!

[reekster]

Not bad at all, keep it up.

[npknhdfrvr]

Wow! this is a great cover.

[RobertJeffreyMiller]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the comments!

[jdunn58]

Rave On! My favorite Buddy song. You do him justice!

[comoxrunner]

Amazing! You have it all: a wonderful voice, a wonderful gift with the guitar, and a wonderful stage presence!  Way to go!
