Breakdown

Let me hear it now

[lilyzhnya69]

<3 me encantan todas tus canciones. :D

[Tapiola2007]

Hey, just wanted to say this was great! A slightly different vibe to the original but fantastic all the same! Good luck with the project of recording all of GnR's songs. I'll be looking out for Estranged as that's my personal favourite!

[yugijan2196]

How in the hell did you start singin like this? I played your cover right beside the real version of this song...and holly shit! they both sounded exact! Love it!

[arktinen]

Man, you're very talented! I was going to ask you if you had any original song and I see you do. Congrats! I'm a singer too, but I haven't had the chance to do some stuff on my own, eventhough I should try. Have you ever thought of trying something bigger than just YouTube? You'd have success for sure! (=

[Berqy123]

My one of my all time GNR favorites... hands down.... You did it justice man..F'n Awesome.

[rocketqueenxo]

hey, where did you find the chords for this? can you post them? :)

[hectorjose1]

come on it will be fucking cool if you use drums

[TheJohnny990]

great but it could use bass drums and piano. its still great though

[axl77]

@TheJohnny990 Yes,i recorded this ages ago. Id do it a lot better now. Im currently on a mission to record every single GNR song in the order they appear on the albums. So far ive got as far as Nice Boys on the Lies record. If you want to hear my more recent GNR efforts that have been recorded better , check out my main channel page. I have them under a playlist :) Thanks for the comment man,Gareth :)

[TheJohnny990]

@axl77 ur welcome

[ayotollah]

Whats the basic chords you are using?

[danielvsh]

"but it is written... if the evil spirit arms the tiger with claws Brahman provideth wings for the dove"

My fave GN'R song. Great job as always. You need to post acoustic tabs for all gnr songs, I dig the way you play them. Awesome!!!

[snakegod77]

[goldfishartou]

WauW - Thumbs Up from a GNR-fan... :D

[W1ckeD]

What so good about this is the fact that he recorded it all himself, you think you hear a whole band behind him, but every instrument is done by him.

[read2achieve]

pretty good!

[ScarecrowVids]

Nice !

Well done !

[RNRS001]

That was awesome, it makes me wish GnR ever had done a proper acoustic MTV Unplugged or something, though this is a proper indication of what it wouldve sounded like.

[kimi1546]

I don´t usually write comments on youtube very often but after watching your video I had to say one thing : WOW!!!

You´re great... from now you have a new fan in Spain!!!

[Royl79]

Amazing!!! Cheers to you mate!!!

[acm12358]

you could put a vid of your band playing this:)

[TimeSplittersChimp]

You realy should be making money for your voice and creativity

[reyAMPS]

sick ass cover....sounds badass.

[pistolino69]

Trully and honestly better than the original.

If the band had come up with this version it would have been one of their best tracks.

[acm12358]

perfect cover except when doing transition to the refrain, the first time only, the others are good. you should make a litlle pause and then start: BREAKDOWN!

that bugs me

nice song from my favourite gnr album!

[axl77]

Thankyou so much.I just did this without any practice so thats why there might be moments in it that i could have ironed out.

[trickpa80]

Hey Axl77 you are great man, this cover is awesome , we love your work about GNR.....

Congratz from Brazil !

[dp79]

One of the great underrated gnr songs - great performance as usual gareth!

[slcpunk33606]

[empirecircle]

You've done a great job on this one!

Why dont you do audition for Velvet revolver, i think your voice will fit the music very well.

[brunorockerr]

this is excellent man ! this is one of my favourites of guns n roses , really great song , and you did justice to the music ... 5 stars !

[axl77]

Hey, that means a lot to me. It was a big song to take on and to know that people seem to like what ive done gives me a lot of satisfaction.Its been fun to get my electric guitar going again too.

[metalupurass85]

Pure Talent!

You will be famous one day my friend

[GNRlova23]

AMAZING

[axl77]

Thankyou :)

[Flexo1986]

Hello Gareth!

Do you play the guitar in this cover???

[axl77]

Hey, yes i play everything on all of my covers. Im a bit of a loner when it comes to music.

[Flexo1986]

Man you're a freakin' genius :) You rock...I can't even tell the difference between you and Axl!! Goog job!!!

[zacandtaylorrule]

Awesome job Gareth. Love your G 'N'R covers.

[vintagevr100]

the solo over the end text was deadly, i usually hate when people improv on slash's stuff , but you however aced it ! aweseom job man

[OblivionsAngel1122]

Gareth, I'm speechless. (Yes, that's a good thing. =) Breakdown is in my top 3 GN'R songs. Brilliant !

[healthyaddixion]

wow gareth WOW!!

[W1ckeD]

It's like a "lite" version of the guns version, the only thing I missed was the drums, because that's one of the things that made Breakdown so awesome.

But you told us that drums are a really a pain.

The lower "breakdown" voice is awesome, same for the end where you say that text that Axl does, really in your own/Axl style.

It's a awesome cover, I really love it the way it is, a more chilled version, It's 12.30 in the night here, and so relaxing and energetic at the same time. Top Stuff.

[healthyaddixion]

so refreshing to see an intelligent comment for a change.

sorry to butt in :)

[TheSlashest]

awesome!!!!! i can't believe that's better than original!

[dbenmil]

OMFG!!!! One of my all-time favourit GNR songs (I have a few ;) You rock so hard it's not even funny! I was waiting for you to post this song. BRILLIANT VOCALS!

5*

[G0c09]

Really great sounding stuff! Awesome! It's also pretty cool how you can sing in a way that sounds so much like Axl Rose :)

[avrillavignefan1990]

Wow!! I can not seem to find any different words than I usually use.... amazing! You are so awesome! Truly talented! :)

[Maru2nd]

And what should I say !!! Don`t find the right words!!
