(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. A cover song...and my Tribute to the Rolling Stones.

This is my tribute to the Rollings Stones...the greatest rock band (in my opinion) in the world...and the remaining old rockers are still rolling strong today.

This is my cover of the classic 'Satisfaction.' It is not an exact copy, the intro is shorter than the original, and this was deliberate; there is no Karaoke or pro backing track in the world that would be produced without the full intro...I've done this so it won't be recognised as a Karaoke or pro backing track. Anyway, the drum backing is nothing like the original...I hate programming drum machines! Anyway, I always produce my own music, my own interpretation of any cover I do. I've change the lyrics a little bit...cigarettes are not fashionable these days and I certainly won't promote them, so the verse which gives reference is deleted, amended. There is a line which I've replaced in that deleted verse, I sing; '"There's no karaoke from me.'' So my friends out there who sing karaoke — don't be offended. I wish all on YT who sing Karaoke the best, just go for it! But, please be selective on the tracks you use. This copyright shit still bugs me. Those who upload Karaoke may have purchased the tracks... ok, for their own amusement, but for heavens sake, as I've said before...what harm is done, I feel they are promoting songs for the record companies...anyway, who wants to download the inferior sound quality which results after the YouTube Mp3 process.

Another downside for me is; before all this copyright nonsense, I was toying with the idea of singing and uploading some of my favourite songs, using Karaoke tracks ...songs that are too elaborate for me to produce as a one off to upload.

Anyway, I hope you like my version of this great 60's song

Thank you

James

  • oh oh James, what did you put up that was so offending that it got blocked.

    lol, stay out of the hot water hun and stay safe.....I know I have lost friends on here too due to copy rights,

    the same band had 2 dif channels on here and both were suspended also many other good friends have lost their channels.

    fantastic cover James, excellent performance hun

    endless starz

  • Nice tribute to the Stones- I enjoyed it

  • Awesome work, James! Excellent work on the instrumentals, vocals, everything.

    That's it, you speak your mind and tell it like it is (coming from one of your biggest fans who uses karaoke tracks----- ROTFL!!!!!)

    I support you and I could say more about this copyright situation in foreign tongues, but they're (YT) going to have to bound my mouth with duct tape pretty good.

    Love your cover, do MORE, don't give up - we're all here to support YOU!

  • Hi James

    Great cover, smashing work indeed, I liked the copyright and the no karaoke passage, very cool indeed.

    Even though this wasn't your original video, it's still good to watch :)

    Best wishes

    Mark :)
