I swear...if I ever did this one on stage, I would so have you on stage with me as the r&b Richie Sambora or Neil Giraldo. You're a dynamite axe - man!
Agree with Mr. Scott...bust out the pastels and the Wayfarers Crockett and Tubbs style...awesome version again...I gotta go find some Jan Hammer now 👍🤘🤘🤘✌️🤟🍻
God this is Fucking awesome. Just took the boys out on the lake and we were bumping this on the boat drinking tequila and pulling up to play beach volleyball at one of the party coves. I’m 24 been playing guitar forever and love the 80s vibe and style.
You are hands down my favorite guitarist on RUclips. I’m an 80s kid and you just honor that period. Thank you for sharing your talent. Just beautiful what you do.
This cover is a perfect example of how you can add guitar to a song that has little to no guitar in it. I love the arrangement you gave it and both the guitar solos are tasty, melodic, and perfectly executed. Fantastic cover. Love this song too.
Huge fan of Alexander O'Neal! This is just absolutely fantastic! I too am also a fan of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis! The essential 80's sound (I my opinion). I would have loved to have this version on an album release! More like this please!
Tastey! Great tone, great chops. Love the whole Leppardized thing. Sometimes, just sometimes youtube gets it right and recommends something really cool, and THIS is reaaaally cool. 👍
The bit at 3.17 up to the drum break like that's the build up for a complete breakdown of the instruments to hold their own individually then come back together
Criticize is one of my most favorite tunes of the 80s. As a DL fan and an occasional guitar player, if I had your skills I'd do the same kind of cover.🥰
Back one year later to add I'm no longer an occasional guitar player. Since listening to you and a few other inspiring RUclipsrs out there, I'm now playing and learning guitar every single day. Thank you for all the inspiration you provided, you are beyond talented!😎
Trippy, I just started listening to this song again for the beat because of my love for 808’s after a few years of knowing it from GTA IV. Almost like you knew 😂
Oh god. I thought at first, hmm, tough one. But then it just got better and better. And towards the end it was mind blowing. Absolute respect. You are amazing. And another song that I also love. We have such a similar taste! Wasn't expecting this but you totally pulled it off.
Alexander O'Neal is such a gem! He should've been bigger in his prime! His voice, and killer slow jams of the 80's were definitely notable amongst that of the Motown revival that took place in the 80s-early 90's. The album Hearsay is so good! Please, if you can do a rendition of the title track "Hearsay". One of my personal favorites of Alex O'Neal is "If You Were Here Tonight". Great rendition, and phrasing/soloing!
Listened to this song for the very first time yesterday (of course your version that is). Just listened to the song itself on Spotify and although it's pretty good, I like your version better. Glad I listened to your Leppardized rendition first. Watched this right after watching your video for Steve Winwood's Valerie. Dude keep up the grind, you make all these legendary songs even more legendary. I salute you brother🤘🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's funny really, I like any good music, mainly hard rock and AOR, but I'll listen to anything that is good. Be it soul, Jamiroquai, Nile Rodgers etc. I love this track. I'm well over 50 years old, you're a lot younger. It's about our ears.. BTW how is Super Monaco going? ATB Nick..
Didn't know this one. A really great one, but I'm sure a lot more exciting due to your guitar work. How do You make this picture with You in the front and the cover art in the background? The picture You see before entering the video.
This is sooo brlliant. I always have this kinda of ideas to songs that apparently have nothing to do with others. I even can hear Joe Elliott singing this hahaha :)
Please do more of this stuff, 80's soul and funk Leppardized, 'SOS Band just be good to me' for ex. Or some of Kraftwerk form the 80's film 'Breaking' Or Ollie and Jerry. You have so much talent!!! Do it man. ATB, Nick..

Alexander O'Neal isn't well known outside of Urban Contemporary circles, but he's fantastic. Excellent choice.
After this I'm looking him up.

Beautiful rendition of Alex's classic hit single. Well done for your brilliant effort and thanks for sharing ❤
Also Lukatherized… amazing playing as always. Enjoyed every second of it.

Aww very kind! Thank you!

Nice to see, that you polished this old tune. Thank you! 👍
This is a great example of 80s for you to work your magic on & you did it again 110%
Something about the 80's. But I think I'm a bit marred by the wonderful experience of it all! 🙂
Love a bit of Alexander 🥰
Nice to hear Charlene again, Amazing work buddy 👏 🤘🎸🎵🤘
WOW, one of my all time favourites. Love it
Yesssssssss 👍 sounds amazing my king 🤴 yes you did that 🎸🎧 cheers🍻 your journey fan always 🎶
A belter of a tune, and a banger of a guitar addition. Nice work dude.
Ah thanks David!
Awesome stuff... I enjoy all your guitar videos 👍
Awesome cover have a great weekend
Excellent 80s jam right there. I love that you covered this!!!
Good song ;) And he scooores!!!!......and the growd goes "WOOW"!
Huge fan of Alexander O'Neal! This is just absolutely fantastic! I too am also a fan of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis! The essential 80's sound (I my opinion). I would have loved to have this version on an album release! More like this please!
Thanks! I’ve covered Janet Jackson’s Black Cat and although it’s not strictly Jam and Lewis songwriting, it may still be of interest to you. Cheers!
Tastey! Great tone, great chops. Love the whole Leppardized thing. Sometimes, just sometimes youtube gets it right and recommends something really cool, and THIS is reaaaally cool. 👍
Thanks Jack!
Thank you so much I have this on 12' vinyl. Didn't even imagine the song with guitars. It sounds absolutely brilliant
The bit at 3.17 up to the drum break like that's the build up for a complete breakdown of the instruments to hold their own individually then come back together
Very kind, thanks!
Love this tune love your playing win win!
This is banging. It's a classic and you've taken it to another level with this, nice one.
Seriously lovely tones there! Well done!
Great job
Pleased you think so!
❤❤❤❤ I love the ending. Super cool cover
I can’t have enough ❤❤❤🕺🕺🕺🕺
First! Great song!!! The 80s man. People went "ahhhht" out 🍹
Criticize is one of my most favorite tunes of the 80s. As a DL fan and an occasional guitar player, if I had your skills I'd do the same kind of cover.🥰

That is class!! Top drawer!!
That riff you play in the second chorus is killer, but so is your whole cover, well done.
Ah thank you! 😁
yea man loving it sounds goood. this is a good one 💕
Trippy, I just started listening to this song again for the beat because of my love for 808’s after a few years of knowing it from GTA IV. Almost like you knew 😂
your Leppardized catalog always made me impress
Thank you so much for doing this cover. Well done.
Thanks Wayne!
Absolute Banger!
Oh god. I thought at first, hmm, tough one. But then it just got better and better. And towards the end it was mind blowing. Absolute respect.
You are amazing. And another song that I also love. We have such a similar taste! Wasn't expecting this but you totally pulled it off.
Great stuff as always! I would imagine a certain new album of covers are on the way from you soon...looking forward to that!
Thanks! Haha, they will be coming but there’s too many songs to digest. I think I’d cope better if they just kept releasing singles 😅.

Great rendition, and phrasing/soloing!
Thanks! Will certainly be covering more from the album.
Class this could have come straight from Miami Vice 👌🏻😎👌🏻😎👌🏻
Well done! You’ve always managed to pull out the best songs.
Whoah this is really cool, adds another dimension :D

Fantastic ❤️
I keep rewinding from @2:03❤❤❤🕺🕺🕺
Excellent execution, could play Lay your hands on me by Bon Jovi!
Awesome cover!
Amazing. Perfect solo as always!
This is my first time hearing this song, but you made this song rock! Great job!
I prefer this over the original to be honest. Great job!
Radio 2 classic!
A Ken Bruce favourite !
that is class. Top drawer!!

In an image editor, i layer my pic over the album and erase around me and the guitar.
I had this CD when it First came out
This is sooo brlliant. I always have this kinda of ideas to songs that apparently have nothing to do with others. I even can hear Joe Elliott singing this hahaha :)
Thanks!!!
Hearing this tune for the first time... but I'm certain that this Leppardized version is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the original one.
Just to add... the backing vocals are amazing!
Okay! Okay! Jam on!
From @2:42 ❤❤❤🕺🕺🕺 I go to another planet 🌎
It's Alex baby 😂
never heard this song before, but its pretty sweet.
Miami Vice vibes ❤☀️😎
Love the choppy rhythm during the verse👍
❤❤❤❤
YES
great now i have to play GTA 4 again!!
Epic
Please do more Alex covers!
Would love to!
Another delicious layer of cheese and onions onto an 80s burger of a track! :-P
Any chance of doing Crystalline by The Midnight
It’s a possibility
Please do more of this stuff, 80's soul and funk Leppardized,
'SOS Band just be good to me' for ex. Or some of Kraftwerk form the 80's film 'Breaking' Or Ollie and Jerry. You have so much talent!!! Do it man. ATB, Nick..
Certainly will be expanding on the Leppardized stuff. I’m a big fan of Jam and Lewis so their productions will be sure to feature a lot.
i love this so much, i'd love to see a leppardized version of madonna's dress you up
Is this on Standard E?
Sure is
@@bwm5150 awesome thanks
(Drops jaw)
