[MaryAsinger]

Ricky you made a beautiful improvised version of the song!!!Great own style!

Love this one...sounds romantic too ;-)

*****

[RickyShades]

Thanks so much MaryAsinger. Very much appreciated. Guess it's one of those sad romantic tunes. ;/

[nightwolf014]

hey ricky! you really have the voice for billy idol songs. yeah the cat eyes are great, what a nice twist. great how you mix it up to be like your own.:D great one!!!!!!!jodie

[RickyShades]

Thanks Jodie. I might try some more B.Idol tunes but I can't "scream" in key like he does, someone suggested I smoke a lot of cigarettes and drink a lot of alcohol to do that. :) Oh, and btw, the background pic on your channel page actually inspired me to put the cat eyes up. :) Thank YOU!

[RetardedMangoTV]

that is a very nice guitar~

ur candles r too romantic~~

i can see girls fainting bc of ur voice and the candles...

[RickyShades]

Thanks Mango. Maybe I can use the candles like your little bag on the wall. :) Oh, and if any girls faint my wife beats them up! :)

[jgelhaar]

You do this justice! I haven't heard this song in so long...

Love the candles, too! Perfect...

[RickyShades]

Thank you so much jgelhaar. This tune is not widely covered. Your comments are really appreciated. :)

[usaga1]

You know whats cool about this. You are making listen to music I usually don't listen to. Now I am not only a Ricky Shades fan I am a Billy Idol fan. Grat guitar work at the end Bro. Keep it up. You make it look easy but I know better.

[RickyShades]

Thank you my friend usaga1. I figured you would like this as it has a lot of "minor" chords ...lol! Looking forward to letting it rip at the next jam (if I'm allowed .lol) I need the "brothers" backing me up with their rhythm section. :)

[willhoit63]

Great job!! One of Idol's best songs. Awesome guitar player man!!

Bruce

[KarmaSnap]

Very impressive! love your performance and the sound quality is top of the line!.....5*****...Barbi

[RickyShades]

Thank you very much Barbi. Guess we're out own worst critics. I would like to improve the sound even further since it's being recorded straight to the camera mic (yuck). One of these days I'll get a camera with a "mic input." Thanks again! :)

[allshookup77]

Ricky, Absolutely fantastic performance... Great video too, loved the cat eyes and candles in the background, so cool. Enjoyed the guitar pickin' at the end, very good. 5star performance!

[RickyShades]

Thanks so much FrAnk! Much appreciated man! The picking at the end? Well, sometimes I get carried away when having fun! lol :) Thanks again!

[RickyShades]

Thanks sweet Rachael! :) And congrats to you for coming up #1 on the YT singing Top 20! :)

[rachaelstewartmusic]

thankyou i was so shocked at that hugz rach

[RickyShades]

You certainly deserved it rach. I knew it from the first moment I heard you. :)

[HuggableAngel]

BILLY IDOL RAWKS ..wow u kinda sound like him too ... wicked

[RickyShades]

Thanks Huggable! Billy definitely has a wider range than me, and plus he can "scream" in key! Thanks! :)

[HuggableAngel]

lol smoke more cigarettes n drink more alcohol i think is how they manage to do that LOL

[RickyShades]

I'll have to try that. LOL! Although I can't drink and play because although I can walk, my fingers trip all over each other when I play. lol :) Only drink water when I play! :)

[quinoacat]

I am not sure which tone I liked better on this. Your Baritone Pipes or those nylons on that unique guitar. I thought heard some Keith Richards style strumming pattern in the rhythm towards the end. This was another neat cover that earns a fiver from me.

[quinoacat]

Killer Cat eyes....I am off to Google up some info on that sweet guitar you are playing...Thanks for sharing this awesome production. Tell Molly I think she is an awesome kitty that deserves some catnip for her part in this.

[RickyShades]

Thank you quinoacat! That strumming part is left over from my influence by "funk" music era. LOL! Perhaps KR heard me at some point and copied me. LOL! :)

[quinoacat]

That is a thin Axe I see. 13 Pin Synth interface and quite costly (around 1400 bucks new, 5-800 bucks used). The rhythm I was referring to sounded a bit like part of Sympathy for the Devil (around 02:50). Your improv towards the end sounded similar to a part you played in your Hendrix Hey Joe video. I just listened to it again to see how similar it sounds to me. It is a little different so I can't accuse you of repeating yourself. I just think I have identified a signature in your style.

[RickyShades]

Yeap, it's pretty thin. The 13 pin interface is quite rare. I purchased it around 1992. Actually was an even trade for an old custom-made Guild guitar I owend. And, I do have certain signatures, more than one. The end is different than Hey Joe, although part of the lick is the same, just a different application. :)

[nathanbeatty]

you are so good, do you perform in clubs where you live? another great job

[RickyShades]

Thanks so much nathan. I do private/corporate etc, and trying to expand the lounge/club circuit as it is my preference and so much more fun.

[HuggableAngel]

i am so stuck in the 80s LOL

[RickyShades]

Oh yeah, time of the NYC super clubs, Studio 54, Mud Club, and others. WOW! Wish I could so some time traveling! :)
