The Gaslight Anthem Here's Looking At You Kid cover

www.myspace.com/neilsalter

The Gaslight Anthem makes me feel like people must have felt when they first heard the Beatles of the Stones. I have never felt before that spark/stab of excitement in knowing that there is someone that feels the same as you and has that same heart and pull and drive and belief that you do. I've never met 'em but these bastids have sung their way into being my best friends and they are, without a doubt, whether you like punk or folk or blues or rock'n'roll or whatever... without a doubt, the most exciting band in music today. They are the Barack Obama of rock and roll. I hope this does them justice.

so many things wrong with this cover

1 you cant play or sing in the same key... infact the guitar is in a different key from your voice

2 u need to learn the correct lyrics

3 the key you're playing in is the same key as green day's time of your life, which this song sounds nothing like

sorry to be harsh but dude its true

@scottmclintock1991 Hey dude, don't apologize! I'm just stoked that you watched at all. My only defense is that I purposefully changed the words to girls I know. And that I dropped the key to try to sing it without cracking all the time. lol... when you're as shitty as me, you gotta work around the song and grab it as close as you can.

Thanks for watching Scott. Seriously means a lot.

omfg you're right, you do look like mclovin

[thepunkfish109]

There's tons of Brad Pitt, Ryan Renolds, Johnny Depp look-alikes... but we McLovin's... we are a rare breed.

Oh, by the way... I still need the money for that beer I bought you. lol

[2tonesg]

you sound like bob dylan. =p

[mattandhisguitar]

not what I expected but good nonetheless, has a unique style to it!

@price5824 Wow! Thanks for the tip man! I'd been wanting to get this on my iPod because I just love this version of it!! It's gotten to the point where I can only beat off if I hear it playing so now I can get back to being able to rub one out anywhere I happen to be! By the way... I make $500 a day working from home! Send me $20 and I'll show you the secret!

can you do a cover of Bob Dylans, "The times they are a-changin" pleaseeeeeee

[thepunkfish109]

@MusicFiend2310 Both guitar parts are always awesome to jam along with. I like doing the seconds because they've got such cool counter-melodies that sound amazing but also don't require you to be Slash to play 'em, haha. Just good old fashioned brand new rock'n'roll. Always a thrill. Thanks for watching!

[thepunkfish109]

Ha, better than the "McLovin" comparison I usually get.  Thanks for watching!
