Thunder road cover - Bruce Springsteen

[budibausto]

o my good gracious me...this is terrific. Bravissima! I'm seriously impressed being a scrappy musician and a hardcore Bruce fan listening thousends of covers!

Well done!!!

Please do more stuff. I'd love to hear from you Mary Queen of Arkansas and Wild Circus Billy's Story!!!!

Ciao!

[dsnfldgfds]

[coldblowlaneresident]

I'm 53, bruce fan since 1980 and i love this

[kilwilkie09]

Can I ask why, thunder road...hope you got your gcse...very good...keep it raw.

[AKpike1]

A good cover is when you can recognize the song but it's different enough that the covering artist made it their own. That is exactly what you did- really, really good. Record it, I'll buy it.

[Evan1214]

You are terrific. Really talented!!

[722mhm]

I am a die-hard fan.....Favorite song......Your cover is exactly how it should be sung.....A kid experiencing life and trying everything......Just as Bruce was when he wrote it.........Outstanding job! Goosebumps......

[blobblexxx]

@722mhm now, THAT, is a compliment. Honestly, thank you so much, this has to be one of my favorite comments ever! Glad you liked it.

[charlessupernova]

check out my version.. you'll never need another!

[MisterNatale]

good ! W Bruce Springsteen !!! :D The album " Born to run" is my favourite album. |!!!

[Farkelu]

Sweet version - us guys inevitably try to sound like Bruce. Continue to be yourself!

[Upgrade27913]

This is amazing ruby <3 it! Can you tell me the chords please? thanks xx

[blobblexxx]

@Upgrade27913 sure can - do you want the original key or the one I play in?

[Upgrade27913]

@blobblexxx ummm both if you don't mind :D

But if that's too much of a bother then ur version then thanks x

[antoniogarraf]

Here from Barcelona. Thanks for the song, is my favorite. And yours is one of the best covers I've heard, if not the best. Makes a bad day becomes a better day. Would you dare with a version of "The River"? Sure it would great. All my encouragement for your career as a singer, you've got a fan here. Sorry for my english...

[blobblexxx]

@antoniogarraf thank you :) I realllyyyyyy want to try the river, it's hard to find a key I can sing it in well though :( thank you so much, and your english is perfect. Lo siento mi espanol no es lo mismo! Hablo un poco por la escuela...

[aftmast]

As one who's listened to Springsteen their whole life, I must say this was one of the most outstanding covers of Thunder Road I have ever seen. I play this on both harmonica and guitar, gonna learn piano, but need vocals. Vocals are not that easy, and you got this song perfect with your voice. Never give up what you have, it can take you far :)

[blobblexxx]

@aftmast wow, I appreciate that a lot. Compliments from people who really love the original song or artist always mean the most, because I'd like to do right by them y'know? I play piano too, and as for vocals - they just come with practice I think... a year or two ago I couldn't sing to save my life. :P Thanks for the kind words

[alyssaeatsthesky]

I was really impressed because not only did you play well on guitar, you told a story. When you sang, it seemed like you were lost in the lyrics. I really liked this.

[blobblexxx]

@alyssaeatsthesky thank you so much... I love the song, so it was fun for me to do.

[MattyCson]

Your family must be so proud ,brilliant version of a classic well done

[TaskMaster619]

Good luck with your GCSE's, I guess you'd have done them by now or are currently doing them, right? Nice job, well done :)

[blobblexxx]

@TaskMaster619 believe it or not, I do them next year! We just get prepared extra early :P

[TaskMaster619]

@blobblexxx

Well you should get a bloody good mark for this-- really incredible, my favourite song, I'm glad you didn't ruin it haha

[krstofc]

you are beautiful, the song is beautiful ... everything is perfect

[dannyb584]

Hey, this is pretty good! :)

Have you heard the frank turner cover?

Its awesome!

[blobblexxx]

@dannyb584 ha, his cover was the first time I heard the song, I heard the original after.

Love them both.

Frank and Bruce both rock in my eyes :)

[nickynunn]

well done,what a beautiful song.

[Kevhorror]

This is excellant! Well done Ruby! I'm a massive Bruce fan, and you did his classic proud!!

[blobblexxx]

@Kevhorror thank you! 

[scurvymofo]

One of my favorite songs - you did a great job!

[noelenda]

[arsetomouth1]

beautifull xxxx

[garyg121]

best thunder road cover ever!

[blobblexxx]

@garyg121 thankyou!

[wmg3293]

i am a HUGE springsteen fan and i am always skeptical of covers.. but this was sooo amazing!! im sure youll do well on your exam :)

[blobblexxx]

@wmg3293 thank you so much!

I'm skeptical of covers too, and am therefore fairly hypocritical for doing them ;)

Glad I didn't mess up - we'll have to see what my music teacher thinks.

Thanks again.

Ruby

[nickagz13]

@blobblexx Is there any way you can tab this then post it?

[testcyp76]

That was wonderful. You did the most important thing of all when doing a cover song. You made it your own. You put your personality into it in such a way it made me forget its a Springsteen song. Great job!!

[blobblexxx]

@testcyp76 Thank you!

I was worried I messed it about TOO much but I'm glad you liked it!

honestly - thank you so much for commenting.

:)

[musicalape]

That was really good....

[blobblexxx]

@musicalape thank you !

[Daver869]

Hey Ruby! Haven't seen you in a while. You know, you should really start thinking about getting yourself out there more, like look for performance opportunity and show off your material. You are a unique voice and I'm sure others would appreciate it :) I'm thinking of doing that soon!

[blobblexxx]

@Daver869 Hey! thanks, I'd love to perform but a) I get nervous ;P and b) I don't know what places around where I am do that kinda thing!

But y'know, I'm working on it :)

Awesome, I'm glad you're still playing and stuff - cos you're seriously talented!

[Daver869]

@blobblexxx Thank you! and yes I'm still playing! My friend gave me a Gibson Les Paul guitar as a gift and I've been jamming a lot of Led Zeppelin tunes. As soon as I can find my flipvideo cam, i'll post new videos :D

[willosborne]

that is really good ruby. i've actually never heard any bruce before. i'm off to buy an album now :) thanks mate!

[Johnnyjoe5]

A Grade "A" I think.

[blobblexxx]

@Johnnyjoe5 Thank you :)
