Even Brad himself said in an interview that singing this tune live was extremely challenging..

That's the straight truth.. is why you don't hear girl singers cover him much

...too tall mountain. Missing the original, sorry

What was weird is he declined to hit the first high note.... but then hit the second one which is even higher! Odd.. but great nonetheless.

No, it's pretty simple. Either you can hit them or you cant. 99% can't

seriously? dude..aim higher

agree!

What do you mean? Hopefully you aren't putting BBf down. He is the peak of musical proficiency, in every way.

Yes he is, but he's laughing because the Band Geeks are complementing him so well.

Good effort by the players but that vocalist should sing only in the shower.

Yeah, and Brad didn’t go to falsetto leading into the chorus. Incredibly he hit that big hook note in full voice.

He needed a woman’s touch on the final reprise: where few men have gone before.

Check out Lexington Lab Bands Boston tributes…

Anne Marie does have an amazing voice. Have you heard her doing the Jackson 5 medley?

Sí, sí! La voz y la guitarra sonaron espectaculares!

He also played with Guns n Roses 2006-2014!

Yep

dan t amer hist Except that someone switched out the muscle car's original Muncie 4 speed, with a worn out automatic from a 1979 Honda Civic. The Honda Civic analogy is aimed at the drummer, who seems to over simplify rolls and fills, even when the original wasn't that complicated to begin with. The other musicians seem to be a step or 2 above the drummer in musical ability on most songs. Aside from that, I've been impressed with them.

I think he was talking about the voice of the lead singer (Bumblefoot). He has absolutely powerful high notes like Brad Delp did, but his low notes are not super smooth.

@@IAmTheRealKen true, but hey let's admit (those who sing); sitting sunk into a mooshie sofa is not condusive to getting full extension of diaphram, stomach and lungs. You can't open up and wail like that. What I love about this is the dynamics of this little studio full of musicians, having fun, playing this beloved song and putting out here for us to enjoy!! Good on them!! I'm diggin BF and will check out more vids of him and Band Geeks, sep or together.

amen brother : )

@@patrickmcleod111 Agreed - The drummer didn't do his homework on this one. He "Drum Dialed" this one in (see what I did there?).

Check out the Apollo record with Portnoy!!!

On top of being insanely talented, He is also one of the most down to earth people you will ever meet. He also has a great inspiring story about his health. He is a huge inspiration to me especially after I got to meet him at G4. I intend getting as many people exposed to bumblefoot as I can. You at a minimum have to respect his musicianship.

That “Lady” and her sister are two amazing forces of musical nature .. and she’s Quite talented on several instruments as well..

ha ha... ya that dude is his doppelganger for sure!

lol

Hey, it's Donald Trump!

He's not. He is not very skilled actually. And misses most of the original, signature fills of the songs. He's great on keyboards but I've seen Geek-videos with a much better drummer (and a better kit too)

Harry Williams fear not! I have already sent these chaps a demand for the return of our foreign monster......minister!

Sucks

The way recording should be done

E.G.Systems; yes, based on this statement. Absolutely. And one thing never mentioned is the incredible high musicians feel when a song comes together with all doing their contributing part. It is heaven; the best feeling.

Oh, he goes higher than that. Way higher. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l56pptqI0Ne6n6s.html

@@voyagerabove4034 Nice - Ya, he nailed the tone on those falsetto notes. In some ways, it's actually easier to hit the higher stuff than it is when you're trying to 'bridge the gap' from chest to head tones. Brad kind of lives in that upper-end of chest range for a lot of us, and those notes can be very difficult to nail with clean sustain, without going flat, and without going falsetto. Once you get past those (and you've figured out how to do it), the higher stuff isn't so bad. UP TO A POINT anyhow. Personally, I find it easier to sing someone like Chris Cornell than Brad Delp, since at least you can add some gain / grit. I simply can't do Brad any justice, and so I find this recording pretty fucking unreal considering his already dominant guitar playing ability lol - HOW MANY MUSICAL GENES CAN ONE GUY GET!?

Check out Mike Masse.. He's pretty tidy too...

Heyy.. Agreed 100%.

Leonid and friends

since I first heard this 7 years ago, I have since discovered LLB, L&F(who I got to see live 2 years ago) and Foxes & Fossils ; all excellent cover bands. plus, the Analogues, who get my vote as the best Beatles cover band, hands down.

Noticed that too 🤘
