Thank you Edd. I owe Axl so much. The inspiration he's given me through amazing artistry is what has kept me going for long spells. Love the guy. Breakdown is another classic, I'd love to do a great cover of it.
I feel like stripped down covers like this really help to shine a light on how good the songs are. Brilliant cover. Maybe my favorite track off the criminally underrated Chinese Democracy. Speaking as a longtime Guns N' Roses fan.
I'm actually speechless of your range and replicating Axl here. And Chinese Democracy is incredible. This is also my favourite song. That high note he holds, then tremolo it is incredible
Dear sir... I an only regret I spent so much time before stumbling into your channels and this particular cover. I thank you so much for these beautiful covers!
Chinese democracy really was a masterpiece, you do the best Gn'R covers on RUclips. You bring a very unique brand to the songs, absolutely fantastic! Being a singer myself, I'd say your way up there. It's awesome
*_Essa Música é muito Profunda creio que o Axl escreveu ela para Sthefany Seymour ou também pensando no passado,"foi um tempo difícil pra vs, foi um tempo difícil pra mim" (There Was a Time)_* 🙌❤⚘⚘
Wow Gareth! This is a vocally brave song to cover. A great version. Love the high note and vibrato in the mid section. Really impressed dude. Well done. The double layer vocals going on leading up to those high notes sounds like Alice in Chains a bit. This is definitely saved to my favourite videos.
That was like epic... Earlier i was thinking of covering this song but now that misunderstanding is sorted and I am finally at PEACE... Thankyou Sensei thankyou 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Man I've commented on some of your videos and I'm a realy GNR fan, so I almost never like guns n roses covers but you rock And I loved all of you covers. congratulations and keep doing GNR covers becaus you are good. see ya. Andrew
Gareth man, i genuinely believe that you`re taking the CD songs to a whole new level. Quite an accesible one actually, not complaining about the original stuff or whatever... But your versions belong to the type of music i can relate to as being the understanding type. Broken glass and cigarettes. Thanks for these awesome renditionds of one of my greatest musical infatuational influances, Guns. Wish you all the best with your artistic prospective. With respectful appreciation, John.
Wow! Not just a cover but a smart interpretation.... I agree that it's a masterpiece. I like to listen to it as a tribute/ challenge/ dialogue with Rock/Pop's greatest singers: Elton John, Mariah Carrey, Steven Tyler ...
I've been listening to this cover for over 6 years now, usually a few times a day or at least a few times a week. I can't play the guitar and I can't really sing (at all), and after all these years I still don't believe a human being can sign something even remotely close to what you have done between 3:55 and 4:01. 4:15 is also out of this world. I mean bro, you're the best and I mean it. Greetings from Poland, it sucks you're not recording covers lately. ~one of your oldests fans, possibly
@@nahiyanalamgir7056 thanks for your reply. Haven't heard this one for a few months, came back as always and your comment made me happy. Update: I'm still listening.
@@EuropeanLord Haha glad to hear that, and I'm listening to this again after 6 months for your response lol. Just a fun fact, the original note is an F#5, which is absolutely crazy.
Hearing your takes on these songs with them stripped down to acoustic guitar and vocals, you can really hear the song in a new light. You've got an awesome voice as well. Keep on Rocking my friend!
Like a judge from the Voice would say, you made this song your own, giving a different vibe in the lyrics and you coming from a different place than Axl is. Solid song performance.
love the striped down version !! love the covers and the efforts! Still one of the best "lyics/story" on Chinese !! Good work Gareth! hope your search for the GnR Cover band is going good ;) cheers
Man, wow you sure you're not Axl's long lost son, Ha . Great Job! I would watch that at any bar and pay, I've been a GNR fan since 7 yrs old. Great Video.
you sound EXACTLY like axl @4:00 .. that's pretty sick! the good kind of sick lol my favorite song on chinese democracy, thank you for doing it justice!
hey gareth... after a total devastating rock and fuckin rolling night i listend to your version of 'there was a time' ... i love how you use the tools to make a perfect song sounding just a little bit more perfect ! ! ! god bless you dude, and of course... god bless axl ! ! !
@axl77 Dam straight. And this song is by far my favourite song on the whole album. Blows my mind every time I listen to it. You did a really good job with it too keep it up man.
dude, u're amazing, u got great talent, never give up and u'll become very famous, U will feed many souls with your great music, u got magic voice, u got nice guitar skill. WE TRUST IN YOU !!!
Dude, you have to come to play in Brazil, especially in Rio! You are a great singer, please consider this hypothesis. Congratulations on a great job!!!
I've downloaded the youtube clip, converted it into an mp3, and now I can listen to it on my phone with headphones whenever I want. Thank you for this beautiful rendition. In my opinion, it's better than the original.
@axl77 bro i really loved this version.. maaaaaaaannn awesome, i listen to this at least two times a day... love the tune you gave to the song =] i still dreamming with your you could be mine at classical tune like you did at roquet queen where u are at axl looks.. =] hugs bro.. hail from brazil
After 11 years... Still the best cover on Earth to this incredible peace of art. Thanks!
Agreed
Thank you Edd. I owe Axl so much. The inspiration he's given me through amazing artistry is what has kept me going for long spells. Love the guy. Breakdown is another classic, I'd love to do a great cover of it.
I can feel it.
I feel like stripped down covers like this really help to shine a light on how good the songs are. Brilliant cover. Maybe my favorite track off the criminally underrated Chinese Democracy. Speaking as a longtime Guns N' Roses fan.
I used to listen to these as he uploaded them in 2011-12, I keep coming back to them.
The best song of the Chinese Democracy!! And man!! You've done a crear job!! Continue doing this! You're great!!
+New Rose Thank you! I loved doing this cover. Chinese Democracy sounded good to me, although I know a lot of hardcore GNR fans didn't much like it.
If you're a hardcore GNR fan you should love Chinese Democracy. Incredible album. Awesome cover.
I'm actually speechless of your range and replicating Axl here. And Chinese Democracy is incredible. This is also my favourite song. That high note he holds, then tremolo it is incredible
Dude, excellent covers. I'll convert your GN'R Covers into MP3 so I can listen to them in my car. Hope you don't mind.
Um BR aqui 😅🤝🏻
Just found you randomly.. OMG your voice is perfeckt for that kind of music.. thumbs up From Denmark.

What a fantastic and melodic cover of this great song!! Chinese democracy is an underated album!!
This si fucking amazing. He transmites peace and calm. One of the Best cover that i have ever listened. His voice is incredile good
4:00 gave me so much goosebumps! Well made cover! You made it look so easy to sing this high!
My favourite Guns n Roses song. Great cover mate 👍🏻
Dear sir... I an only regret I spent so much time before stumbling into your channels and this particular cover. I thank you so much for these beautiful covers!
'There Was A Time' is a lung killer. If you watch Hammerstein, New York, 2006 you'll see Axl Rose struggling in the two verses.
Great job man.
I was there live...what a show.
this is a masterpiece cover for such a underrated song. keep going back to hear it after years since the first listening
That cover was badass! Really nice arrangement :)
nunca me canso desse cover.
❤️
Verdade
Eu também tbm não.
i've always suspected this song was meant to be an acoustic masterpiece, and you proved it. thnks for an amazing cover
Chinese democracy really was a masterpiece, you do the best Gn'R covers on RUclips. You bring a very unique brand to the songs, absolutely fantastic! Being a singer myself, I'd say your way up there. It's awesome
Gareth, your version of this song brings me so much memories.. Love your work. Thanks for keeping your vids live on you tube.
I do so love this rendition of this tune - Cheers to Gareth, I keep coming back to it, just great,

it's good to know that there is someone alse who have respect for this great song and btw for all new GNR work... Great job man :)
Wow! Not just a cover but a smart interpretation.... I agree that it's a masterpiece. I like to listen to it as a tribute/ challenge/ dialogue with Rock/Pop's greatest singers: Elton John, Mariah Carrey, Steven Tyler ...
11 anos já . Escutei muito seus covers.
This is a great song, and I love to sing along to it but it’s so hard. You have incredible breath control to sing it so smoothly. Well done my friend!
This is excellent, I'm impressed with your 'intimate' version here, Gareth. Well done!
I've been listening to this cover for over 6 years now, usually a few times a day or at least a few times a week.

Now think about Axl's live performances; he hit the original notes live several times. Gareth didn't hit the original notes but still sounds great!
@@nahiyanalamgir7056 thanks for your reply. Haven't heard this one for a few months, came back as always and your comment made me happy.

Iove this version just as much as the original, please come back you are badly missed

Awesome job my friend! Just goes to show how hard a song this is to sing, and to think Axl does it even higher up there
Man, wow you sure you're not Axl's long lost son, Ha . Great Job! I would watch that at any bar
and pay, I've been a GNR fan since 7 yrs old. Great Video.
