Dancing In The Dark (Bruce Springsteen) Cover By Gareth Rhodes/axl77

[powpowpictures]

Oh, and it's awesome by the way.

[powpowpictures]

Can you tell me what you used to record the audio? Logic?

[Keyrunnet]

You just own that song. I like your voice.

This is the best cover of this song.

In my books your The Boss.

[axl77]

@Keyrunnet Thank you :) After the last comment i had , which read 'you are fat' , your comment came as a welcome tonic :) I was really happy with this cover, i don't often say that, as much of the things i do, i always seem to have a lingering sense of dissatisfaction which is mostly down to the limitations of the technology im working with. It's really good of you to comment though, it makes a lot of difference to me to get really great responses like yours.

[bitcheata]

you are fat

[axl77]

@bitcheata Ok.

[bitcheata]

@axl77 Oh, never mind my judgement about your appearance.I really like your cover and your voice, you do have talent.

[KayceeJFarro]

Great cover! I love your shirt! :)

[axl77]

@KayceeJFarro Thank you so much, i was really happy with this one. I love my retro t shirts :D

[kotnikd3]

what kind of voice type do you have? tenor?

[bassieeee7]

WOW, you really have an awesome voice. You should really become famous with it ;). very cool idea to play this with an acoustic picking the notes btw! One more thing, when Bruce sings it, it always seems to me he´s singing from his toes with all of his heart, and I think you did that too so gj

[axl77]

@bassieeee7 What a great comment, yes, im happy with how this one turned out. Bruce Springsteen is such a gutsy, honest artist with songs that reach millions of people for that very reason. I hoped to try and somehow capture a fraction of that with my cover and am glad to hear you think i have done so. Best wishes to you, Gareth :D

[brucefan8]

This is the best cover of any song I have ever heard! very nice!

[axl77]

@brucefan8 Thank you so much, i love getting feedback on this one, its a cover that i put a lot of thought into. Huge respect from me for Bruce Springsteen.

[superkarin1967]

much better than the original!

[sgbmusic]

very nice!

[axl77]

@sgbmusic Thank  you :) This is of the things ive done that i'm most happy with.

[TheAustinWalls]

awesome! you should try some adele.

[Kristiization]

Another great cover. I'll have to suggest this to my friend. I think she'll love it.

[jocel892]

I noticed you were only 1 like away from 100.

The 100th like was mine :)

[thechangee]

Well done!!!

[axl77]

@thechangee Thank you very much. Bruce Springsteen has been something pf a discovery for me this year. I've been a long time Bon Jovi fan, i loved their songs of couples struggling to pay the bills, living on faith and love and getting by through sheer determination. Then all of a sudden, this year, i realise that Bruce Springsteen is the Godfather of all that and it's only now im going through all his albums thinking, wow, i have been missing out so bad. I now understand why he is the boss.

[1Anettka6]

I've got the same notebok, the same backround :D Nice cover ;)

[kosciel24]

pretty! 

[draconius25]

Your shirt is awesome! Great cover btw!

[axl77]

@draconius25 I LOVE Back To The Future, that film influenced me so much as a kid. Especially the bit when Marty plays Johnny B Goode at the Enchantment Under The Sea dance. Pure classic.

[florentyn991]

man you are verry talented...i like you verry much...you deserve to be promoted much more...i wish you the best of luck <3

[anujsnarain]

Dude, you rules. "Dont cry" is epic.

[littletexasgirl73]

Great job once again, loved it! Congrats again on getting the new gig. I know you're going to be wildly famous one day. Hope you still have some time do the covers though, I really enjoy them.

[axl77]

@littletexasgirl73 Thank you very much for saying that. Truth is, id be happy to just get by and enjoy myself. Fame is not something i think id enjoy. Im happy to surround myself with great musicians and good people. Your comment means a lot to me, its that kind of faith that got me through that audition last weekend. Its great to hear from you as always :)

[mxXxu]

[mxXxu]

[axl77]

@mxXxu Yes, i play the electric guitar in quite a few of my videos. For all these videos i record everything myself, guitars, bass, vocals, backing vocals, percussion. Its a labour of love. I have two electrics, one Fender Strat and a Westone

[mxXxu]

[michellesupport89]

Hey man. Great job.  Bruce is such a great musician. I have always loved him.

[bucketbot101]

Is there any song you cant cover and make sound awesome? I think you should have a bash at The River, I think you would really do that song some justice!

Keep up the good work man, i love these videos! 

[IxAMxM4TTY]

had this song in my head all day because of this cover. great work.. your so talented :)

[Metalmadness84]

How old are you?

[axl77]

@Metalmadness84 33 :)

[Metalmadness84]

You have to be on the top brother. Your voice and style is great. Keep on rocking....

[Joy54]

I love it!! =)

[andyshores]

Ok man, I'll spill it. I follow what you post because of the Guns project, and I love what you do with GN'R tunes. But I gotta admit that even concerning songs/artists I normally wouldn't give a second listen to, I do when you cover them and quite simply you continually amaze me. You're a talent in the truest form of the word.

[TheJohnny990]

this is a great cover of a great song. more bruce covers please.

[kkk7hh]

[filteredglitch]

awesome, as usual.. i think in honour of back to the future, you need to cover 'power of love' by huey lewis! i could totally see you doing a wicked cover of that!! ;)

[axl77]

@filteredglitch Thats such an excellent idea. Love that tune, thanks a lot man , Gareth

[Hallucination]

You should send this to Bruce haha. I bet he'd love it.

[slashrocksmysocksoff]

I LOVE YOU!!

[yjh4385]

[axl77]

@FISHANDCHEZ Hey girls, its been a while since i checked out your stuff so ill head over and have a look. Thanks so much for leaving a comment on this even though you arent familiar with the original. Means a lot to me, best wishes, Gareth :)

[greensp4rk]

This is really great. This is one of my favorite videos by you!

[axl77]

@greensp4rk Thank you for taking the time to say that. When im choosing a cover i put a lot of thought in to how im going to present the song tonally. I decided straight away that this should be stripped down and simple. I loved the song before i covered it but once i studied the lyrics, i found an even deeper respect for it. Thanks so much , Gareth :)

[teteroom]

Just a beautiful arrangement and great vocals!

[axl77]

@teteroom Thank you very much for saying that. This is such a great song to cover. The quality of the songwriting in the Springsteen back catalogue is nothing short of imense.

[elliott4296]

love it springsteen my fav artist plz do more!

ps you got tabs??

[axl77]

@elliott4296 I would love to, i'll be interested to find out how many of my subscribers enjoy Springsteen covers.His ethos in terms of songwriting content has had a huge influence on artists like Jon Bon Jovi. To me , Springsteen is a legend.

[vickysvids]

@axl77 you should rather find out who dont XD Bruce springsteen is a living legend
