I love how people are just walking by pretending like this isn't the greatest thing they've ever seen

The public in the city that you did this in is boring as fuck... I'd be screaming and cheering the whole way through

So many people walk by hearing but not recognizing talent, A shame.

This kid is so unbelievable. I have been following this young man for years. James Bell makes it look so easy when you know it's not. Anybody voting thumbs down doesn't know a damn thing about rock and roll and how hard it is to play like this.

that performance deserved to have a standing obation not just one clap probably fro your father haha, you are ultra talented bro!

A little gay girl (justin bieber) gets recognized on youtube while singing about babys, and people like you just go unnoticed...

Great job! Loved your style and sound.

That guy is a freaking genius, but I think you chose the wrong spot. Damn, so much nannies out there!

The average age in your town seems to be like 84.

Can't stop playing this one! Love it!

20 plus years and it's still a great tune.

Thanks for making my morning in the office more tolerable by listening to your playing!

One of the greatest musicians ever in my opinion

Man the Brits seem cold. You could raise the dead with that playing and they don't seem to notice.

Some of the best playing ive ever heard absolutely insane

Slash will be proud of YOU !!! GREAT PERFORMANCE !!

This kid BLASTS!🤙🏼⚡️🤙🏼🤘🏻💥🤘🏻

Dude even Slash would take a bow for that solo. That was freaking insane my man.

Brilliant, my friend! Cheers, from Maryland, USA

Are you f***ing kidding me, one clap at the end??!

you would have a wild time playing in the subway here!

No clapping at the end, no roar of appreciation. Shitty public. Absolutely brilliant. Fantastic!!

Absolutely rockin my man! So many people that can move their fingers fast but don't have a true feeling for the music they're playing - they just go through the motions. You play it like it's meant to be done! Good stuff.

I like the way he adds his own flair to it, good job man

People keep commenting on the people not stopping and watching. I don't care; I just love the way James plays guitar, anyone with a musical ear can tell James is pure CLASS.

my missus is 57 today and dancing in the front room to this ...get in

very underrated & very talented, great passion :-)

You are so talented! -LOVE YOUR ERIC JOHNSON ! YOU BLOW ME AWAY!

That was BAD A!!! DEFINITELY the longest behind the head soloing I've ever seen. Fantastic!

Nmms llevo viendo este chico por años y sigo pensando ... Que pinche audiencia tan más aburrida ... el chico tocó increible y esa version uya del solo final estuvo de pu t amadre ❤

WOW James, I just found your Channel. Slash,should be Proud🎸🎸🎸🎸. Thank you for Sharing.

Love your tone, it's crispy but very clean then it's heavy and narly and easy to hear the notes your playing outstanding man

Love this cover, spectacularly done. Wonderful style man.

This guy is super talented!! Why the hack nobody noticing him!! He deserves to be on a stage !! Man I'm super mad of this crowd! They don't understand music!

Wow. Absolutely Amazing.

I remember coming across this video a few years back and the young fella getting a few negative comments for this and that for his ''performance''. Just watching it again just now. Absolutely superb. Sound - 10/10 and thats not even as slash and all the album equipment that ''Geffen'' had at hand. Also its live on the local street. But most of all - 10/10 for a young guy picking up the guitar in a world and age dominated by shit music and playing songs that to the critics having a pop at are the stuff they only dreamed of doing. The only people having a pop at this video are simply people who are sitting there, with tears (of rage/sadness/missed chances/jealousy/or anything else) in their eyes WISHING they were in James's place. I twanged a bit giutar to Guns 'n Roses and have saw them live 6 times. It makes and warms my heart looking at young James in this video knowing the feeling when he slides his pick down the G chord of this legendary song. Stick in mate! All the best from Scotland and every good, genuine, guitarist and Guns 'n Roses fan out there.

Any negative comments are individuals who are consumed with Envy And jealousy. And Its got to said The public of Stoke on Trent aren't exactly lapping it up. I would direct your efforts where they will be appreciated James... Best of luck Dude. Keep Rockin..

The streets are not worthy of your awesome talent!

As always, TOP NOTCH, EXCELLENT, SUPER.....looking like the pro that you are!

These old people geesh they walk by and don't even notice something amazing is taking place Hahaha! Love it ! Andrea xoxo

my god, truly amazing work. love the sound and your energy

Wow! You have the gift and the talent.

Absolutely insane playing - the crowd reminded me of Pheonix Nights!

James Bell Xb very well original good job God bless you

move over Slash, the'res a new sheriff in town named James ''HELLS'' Bell!!!!!!!! you are amazing.

YOU LIVE ON THE PART OF THE WORLD WHERE PEOPLE DON'T STOP MOVING AND HERE IN U.S.A. WE KICK BACK AND LISTEN TO YOU THE AWESOME PLAYER!

Great job playing in front of random people. That's great experience, and takes guts. Love the behind the head stuff and the elderly woman walking in front the camera lol.

Another great performance, keep it going! Cheers

You'll be one of the best guitarists in the world !! I heard your cover of Clapton's Bad Love and it's awsome!!

Nice job dear James, wish you all the best from Western Siberia/Russia

Awesome playing. I could just stand there and head bang to your performance!

Complimenti un esecuzione stupenda!!! Sei un musicista incredibile, aspetto più canzoni scritte, suonate e cantate da te.

Wow solos are top stuff here mate... outstanding

The sound of the electric guitar. Hard rock yeah

You made that look easy, awesome skills.

Why did you pick a spot with so many old people?

Dude, fantastic job...truly an amazing performance..

Thank you very much. JAMESBELL .

Wow... great sound!! Cool James!!

Man that's some awesome playing! It just seem you are at a wrong venue; bunch of old people passing by who can't appreciate it where James Taylor songs will be a big hit!

Dude! Rock & Roll!!! Smashing! :)

James you just blow me away I Think You're great and I think you're pretty cool too

Dude really good all the other covers I've heard weren't nearly as good as this dude

this was absolutely very very quite good

Excellent! Really Cool look too.

Ya nailed it . Big Fan of old school gunners, slashes solo career n wi myles Kennedy n co ect .but for a young lad to go out strut his stuff n go ball's out while playing back of head like the man himself . Respect earned . Also well done ma n pa ! For support .

Awesomeness

Slash would be proud

He makes it look So easy

brilliant, that was awesome.

That sounded & looked great. Another excellent performance. Looking good with that new hair cut and sun glasses and layered shirt look. Stylish as always, James. Thanks for the video!

That was sick when you started playing behind your head lol nice playing man

Thank you! That was great, you got tone, diversity and orginiality...Loved It

This was awesome! If you meet the right people you might become a big guy in the world of rock!

that was incredible!

Very Cool! Excellent!

beautiful improvisation

Well done. You've got the talent and guts to perform that all the haters wish they had. Keep rockin'. You never know when you might inspire the next great guitarist to pick up the guitar for the first time.

Amo demais😎

Yeah!!! Great!! James

Magic fingers. Awesome tone

This is a metaphor for life

Rock Yeah you nailed it amazing

That was awesome! What is wrong with people there...man if you came here and played like that there would be a crowd of people all around you!! Your look is great too...Very cool!

Great Sound! Thank You James ! :-)

I absolutely think that this version that you played is better. The solo is amazing dude. It's so catchy and it was stuck in my head.

Awesome sounds coming from that Les Paul man! I can't believe people were just walking by like that

Wow this was amazing and the people that walk by and act like he's invisible wouldn't know talent if it smacked them on the face they really missed something special I'm pulling for you James Bell I hope you accomplish what your after but in the meantime just keep doing what your doing and that's rocking out jamming playing good music and doing what you love you rock!

Demasiados abuelos que no se enteran de nada. Un verdadero genio, suena estupendo. PARADISE CITY solo para paladares entendidos.

This isnt even his final form
