The dude learns to play keyboards, drums, guitar, and bass, how to arrange and record a Pink Floyd song using some killer equipment and editing skills and some people have the audacity thumb down the video? Miserable idiots. Great job, Ewan! You should be very proud!
Chad Lutzke, people may have their own opinion and tastes, don't you think you are able to judge someone? I can't imagine pink floyd's fan judging other's opinion. That guy does really great, but not like the original. I don't think I'll listen him again.
QuietFox a quite respectable reply. I'm someone who has considered this my favorite song for over 40 years, and really I think he did it just as well as he could have. At least his heart was in it...better than a lot of people who try all four parts by themselves
guess they hang around in youtube to find some videos from some moron shooting at his classmates........ But lets not be distracted. Excellent work, anxious to receive my shirt!
Thank you all for your overwhelming support on these Dobbie Hall videos, here is the grand finale! I suggest turning your volume up nice and loud to get the full experience. Enjoy :-)
@@shawnnbramwell8773 I don't know bro. The bands that you listed, have a lot of one tempo songs with not a lot of spacing between instruments. Fairly easy to track by one multinstrumental person. This tune has a lot of tempo changes, starts, stops, spaces which i thought it would be almost impossible by one person, without the help of Pro-Tools
@@legasiguy551 I don't know either bro. Cubase is comparable to Pro Tools. Ewan has a diverse array ( sounds redundant, but it's not), of skills/talent!. I can intellectually discern the array of dynamics in "Echoes"--breakdowns, intro, bridge/chorus, interludes, etc.--as I can with other great songs. I was trying to emphasize that there are some unique styles out there that are very difficult to "reproduce." The capacity for creating great, unique, and innovative music is much more scarce than "reproducing," it well!
Truly one of the most talented and versatile musician I’ve ever seen. Who else can perform all these instruments so well and nail the vocals too. Not to mention the post production work of mixing and editing. Unbelievable. Great work.
...nailed the vocals? There's confidence building, and there's honesty! He needs to figure out if he just needs some work or if it's gonna be a liability in advancing his career in music. Depends on what he wants and how badly he wants it! Try singing at CBGB's ( I know it's gone), or the Roxy, The Whisky, The Trubadore.....
@Ewan Cunningham As a PF fan for almost 50 years I just want to say that I'm very happy to see your talented performance of this masterpiece. Wish so much luck for your life.
I'm 51 and grew up spell bound by Pink Floyd. You have nailed this incredible track and its clear you have observed the Floyd in minute detail. Very well done
Speaking as someone who has watched and listened to "Pompeii" dozens of times over the decades, I can say that this is as close as we'll ever get to hearing it done by a band with no members named Nick, Rick, Roger, and Dave, and it's only one man doing all four parts!
As a lifelong fan of Pink Floyd, I have to say that this is outstanding. I just love this track, but to see it done so well by one man is unbelievable.
This is the best cover of Pink Floyd's Echoes I have ever heard. This guy is self taught and plays all instruments? Amazing! It makes me so happy to see young people paying tribute to the 70's Rock Music. It really was the pinnacle of Rock Music in my opinion.
This is really amazing. The guitar work is superb, the bass is just as good, the drums are tight and positive and the keyboards are timed to perfection. Even the vocals are good. To be able to play one of these instruments this well would be a significant accomplishment, to play all of them so well is truly astonishing. I hope sometime in the next few years you start making your own compositions, because if you can do that you ought to be able to make a very good living at this. You could make a living as a session musician anyway, but it would be more satisfying and more lucrative if you can make your own music. Good luck, I hope you make this your living if that's what you want, and that you always enjoy it whether it is your livelihood or not.
Hey, thank you very much for this amazing comment! It's very encouraging indeed. I am working on my own original demos which I hope to share with everyone very soon :-) Hopefully you can check them out too. Thank you for the support, have a great week :-)
Totally agree with you here!! I'm a drummer and a bass player ... I can do those parts but the keys and guitar too at such a high level is nothing short of outstanding!! Utterly amazing work Ewan!!
@@ewancunningham I believe, but do not speak for asuschrist, that he was intending highest praise. You deserve very high praise Ewan. I'm short on expression of that. It's covered better by other comments here. However, some covers are actually better than original versions... Examples abound on RUclips... This is much more than a cover. I assert this is the best tribute of any song on RUclips. I'm not picking bones with asuschrist on cover versus tribute as a term. Rather, I'm guessing at your motivation. I dare to guess that you, like so many of us here, deeply love this song... So much so that you faithfully... all portion moods passages... and thereof are done with a faithfulness to the artistry that touched you! I'm sharing this now with people I love. My reach is tiny, but my audience will love what you have done!
I’m 38 now, grew up loving Pink Floyd’s music, and when I saw Pompeii for the first time, I picked up the drums and started playing. That was 20 years ago. Have played a ton of Floyd over the years, and have encountered a lot of bands and players that have done an homage to Pompeii, but you sir not only captured the feel, spirit, and musicianship, you did it all by yourself. Wonderful! Bravo 👏
I agree with @digitalvalleyusa - Ewan, I am totally blown away by your musicianship, mixing, shooting and editing skills. The foresight to shoot scenes while on holiday that could be used for the video was fabulous too.
The amount of attention to detail is unbelievable. From notes to t-shirts, footage, editing. Most imporantly I felt the spirit there. Very inspiring. Thank you.
Dude, you just managed to give me the same chills and feels I get from the original, something no cover has ever managed to archieve before... There are no words on this world to describe how amaizing and oustanding this is, so much talent in one man.... wow, just wow. I know I've said the same thing on the last video, but I will say it again. Best cover I've ever heard, hands down. Keep on the great work ^^
Well what can I say? It's comments like this that inspire me to get better and better! Thank you so much for your wonderful encouragement! Keep on rockin'
Yes the guys can do it, they put their own mark into the song too, that's important, but imo this is a bit soft interpretation of the song, a bit cold, technically correct but what's missing is energy, so my voice still goes to a band called GRUHAK, if you Googled Echoes cover their name was probably appeared in your google results. They're doing it with more involvment, it's been done on the open site up the hill so the atmosphere is very much like in original performance, it's shorter version but wilder as well, it will blow you away. Try compare and let me know what you think.
Dear Ewan, I just want to say that this is the best Echoes cover I've ever listened to in my life so far. You do have really great talent that not everyone can have, this is so precious and I have to admire your pasion, your great hardwork and dedication. It's also great that a young guy like you got a wonderful music taste, I know Pink Floyd is one of the best psychedelic rock band in this world, their triumph era may have passed but it still has a great impact on young generation nowadays. That's what we call legacy you know, never gonna be forgotten. I'm a PF fan too and no word can describe exactly how satisfied I am when listening to your cover. Keep it up bro, shine on you (crazy) diamond! :)) (From Vietnam with huge love)
I wonder how many of us viewers realized you played the entire piece upside down on a lefty bass as a righty player. I'm totally amazed with all the bloody details you've put in the video, always follow your passion Ewan! I hope original Floyd members will appreciate your work one day as well, you've earned it!
So I clicked on the video out of interest. I wondered how someone could dare cover (in my humble opinion ) the greatest song of the 20th century. Started and thought. Wow they're doing it justice. Then realised it's one person. Hats off.
In times of overused clickbaiting, this video is a real treasure. Its title promises something truly delightful and yet it delivers something incredible. HE DID IT ALL ALONE MAN
Holy cow I realized at 3:12 when the first singing verse begins that your cinematography, and even facial expressions EXACTLY match that of the live in Pompeii video. Fucking WELL DONE mate this is extraordinary.
The whole idea of "self taught" sounds impossible to my ears... You have done an excellent job!!! As a Pink Floyd lover I absolutely loved your cover!!!! Keep doing these!!!!!!!
I just can only imagine the sense of achievement I'd have if one day I was able to replicate with my hands and voice the masterpiece PF gifted humanity.
Quattro volte CHAPEAU! 🎩🎩🎩🎩👏👏👏🎸🎹🥁🎙️🎚️ Coverare un capolavoro come Echoes già è impresa ardua per una band. Ma addirittura suonare DA SOLO tutte le parti di batteria, basso, chitarra e tastiera, canto e controcanto, in maniera MAGISTRALE, filmare tutte le esecuzioni, metterci su anche varie riprese della mia Roma ❤️ e infine mixare il tutto, audio e video, è da MOSTRI di bravura. Ho la pelle d'oca dall'emozione, che dire... Sono rimasto senza parole 👍
As a lifelong Pink Floyd fan, musician and songwriter, I salute you and will let you know that your work is truly moving and I believe that Pink Floyd's name is honored. This version of "Echoes" is very authentic and one of the (if not the) best versions I have had the privilege of listening to.
...sorry, only a "handful" can create, write, compose, and record like Pink Floyd! Do any of You commenting play even one instrument half-ass? I don't mean o.k, or good. or well, or very well, or great, or exceptional, or phenomenal ( Prince, Jon Bonamassa, Eddie Van Halen, PAT MATHENY, Alicia Keys), or can put on a live show like Lenny Kravitz or Sly stone and the family back in the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
? I'm well if that's a question-- aside from, once, loving this city and the music scene. Now I here gunshot or see gun violence on a regular basis! Gonna have to head for the suburbs. I know a lot of great guitar players and well-rounded musicians that can do it all; even a few that could have should have made their mark in pop-rock! They're phenomenal songwriters and can play all these instruments very very well. Good musicians are a dime a dozen; especially guitar players. I've been around, and I've seen and known what greatness is all about. This cat is good, but I honestly he's nothing special in the singing department...I like his drumming and that's about it. I've played with cats that had played with Hendrix, Prince, David Grohl, and Kurt, Semisonic, Bob Dylan, Soul Asylum, The Replacements, Husker-du...etc...
This is incredibly fantastic and very close to the original live at Pompeii.. With one immense difference, All done by an eclectic multi-instrumentalist... Hats off... 🤟🤟👍👍🙏🙏
ewanjohncovers That would be cool and worth seeing, myself and obviously from the comments others would no doubt like to hear your own matarial, I've watched your other Floyd covers there all perfect, ever considered a king crimson cover?
+Joseph King I'm currently writing and recording my first original demo's. I'm excited to share them with everyone throughout this year! I've not listened to KC too much. I'd like to cover 21st Century Schizoid Man. My Dad is a big fan of King Crimson :-)
Cool! Ich bin 60+, also mit Pink Floyd Musik aufgewachsen. Schön, dass es junge Musiker gibt, die "Klassiker" der Rockmusik so ernst und genau und mit Herz interpretieren.
Found myself back again tonight.. Admiration... and scrolled down and Rossen's comment hit the nail on the head. Fabulous congratulations. East coast US beers on me if your ever in town. Best Wishes my friend.
You're fucking insane man! It took me 5 minutes just to realize it was the same person playing everything. You got all my respect, congratulations for this colossal work! Thanks! Great job on the video production too. Be careful with hard panning instruments on the mix (keep the effects on the center, it will sound more full), but besides that... wow!
Thank you so much Lucas! I'm glad I almost tricked you into thinking it was 4 different people ;-) I wouldn't normally hard pan instrument like this but I was trying to emulate the mix of Live At Pompeii, which has instruments all over the stereo.
Incredibly well played all the instruments, guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, effects and voice. After this, I think whatever touches will be easy for you. Congratulations and greetings from Perú.
Wow! This is beyond shockingly good for several reasons: 1) just the fact that only YOU played all the instruments is more than enough to impress. 2) how you were able to sync (audio visually) all the instruments in the final mix is beyond me because this is not the kind of music you can simply sync to a click track. Even Pink Floyd didn’t sync it. They just played it together. 3) your age (so young). 4) the upside down lefty bass. 5) and…you’re rendition contains your own interpretation while staying true to the overall theme, tone and format. You are brilliant!
This is just one such kind of dreams when u see urself playing the guitar and the drums solo and all the hard hiting notes all while u r listining and enjoing the music. Great to see that u actually did this.
Increiblemente bien tocado todos los instrumentos, guitarra, bajo, teclado, batería, efectos y vos. Después de esto, creo que lo que sea que toques sera fácil para tí. Felicitaciones y saludos desde Perú.
You are a true talent in this modern age. You played all parts of that flawlessly and you didn't change or add any improvised licks. You even nailed David's birds. I hope you go far in your musical career. You deserve it.
I've been a pink Floyd fan for nearly 50 years listened to this track hundreds of times as well covers of this and other Floyd song's there is some good stuff out there but this something else
A couple of things I've noticed watching this again that I missed the bass is a lefthander played right handed so strung upside down as if learning the part isn't hard enough also the original video/DVD is slightly off pitch you can hear it quite clearly in places don't know if its because it's been transferred from film to a digital format but it explains why it's difficult to play along to the soundtrack thought it was my bad playing which could still be a contributing factor
ewanjohncovers I was sent this video from a friend off mine ... I'm 61 years young and have been a fan and listener of Pink Floyd since I was 12 years old. Son ..... all I can say is how impressed I am of your talent... remarkable. Please continue with your art. Today you gained a new fan.....
Dude.....BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!! About 15 years ago I saw "Live at Pompeii." Their performance on that recording influenced me more than anything. Overnight my musical taste matured. "Echoes"is always the song i go to when i want to hear greatness. And, you did it justice. Good job! My only semi-negative comment is let the drums ring more. A little too muffled. Awesome!
ewanjohncovers Absolutely. I always heard of Pink Floyd and thought they were a good band, but that performance in Pompeii opened my eyes to the genius that is them. Again, impressed by the performance. Subscribed! All the best, from Memphis. :)
Hey everyone! My new album 'Copenhagen Girl' is out now!
Give it a listen :) hyperurl.co/copenhagengirl
The dude learns to play keyboards, drums, guitar, and bass, how to arrange and record a Pink Floyd song using some killer equipment and editing skills and some people have the audacity thumb down the video? Miserable idiots. Great job, Ewan! You should be very proud!

It took me way too long to realize all dudes were the same dude!
I realised it from your comment.
Same here
WHAT????

But which one's Pink?
I am SORELY disappointed - Gilmour didn’t wear a shirt in the Pompeii version!!! How could you have missed this?!!! 😎
Absolutely fantastic work!!!!
Neither did Rick
😆
🤣🤣
Also the bass Ewan is not about a whole head taller than the other three.
Good effort on the Mason butterfly shirt though...
Thank you all for your overwhelming support on these Dobbie Hall videos, here is the grand finale! I suggest turning your volume up nice and loud to get the full experience. Enjoy :-)
Dude please do some live Eagles stuff so much great music from the Eagles to play that they did live give it a try!

The best band ever doing a cover. Nobody is late during rehearsals.
7 years later, this is still the best Pink Floyd cover on youtube.
So true! When we know that this was the stone PF needed to skip to be PF. Echoes moved PF and when you move there is no echo anymore or is it?
Echoes is already a very hard song to get right, and the fact that you did it all by yourself is beyond impressive..
Thanks mate :-)
yOU WANT DIFFICULT? Try Steely Dan, or Van Halen, or Prince!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@shawnnbramwell8773 I don't know bro. The bands that you listed, have a lot of one tempo songs with not a lot of spacing between instruments. Fairly easy to track by one multinstrumental person.

@@legasiguy551 I don't know either bro. Cubase is comparable to Pro Tools. Ewan has a diverse array ( sounds redundant, but it's not), of skills/talent!.

I was trying to emphasize that there are some unique styles out there that are very difficult to "reproduce." The capacity for creating great, unique, and innovative music is much more scarce than "reproducing," it well!

Thank you very much Lee! Good to hear from another Floyd fan! I'm glad you enjoyed my cover of this masterpiece :-)
Nice too see young people with decent music taste
Its one guy

Yet popular charts are still dominated by sellout RUclips artists with a large enough following for labels to consider them “worth their time”

Plz. Come to korea

...sorry, only a "handful" can create, write, compose, and record like Pink Floyd! Do any of You commenting play even one instrument half-ass? I don't mean o.k, or good. or well, or very well, or great, or exceptional, or phenomenal ( Prince, Jon Bonamassa, Eddie Van Halen, PAT MATHENY, Alicia Keys), or can put on a live show like Lenny Kravitz or Sly stone and the family back in the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shawn N Bramwell ok?
? I'm well if that's a question-- aside from, once, loving this city and the music scene. Now I here gunshot or see gun violence on a regular basis! Gonna have to head for the suburbs. I know a lot of great guitar players and well-rounded musicians that can do it all; even a few that could have should have made their mark in pop-rock! They're phenomenal songwriters and can play all these instruments very very well. Good musicians are a dime a dozen; especially guitar players. I've been around, and I've seen and known what greatness is all about. This cat is good, but I honestly he's nothing special in the singing department...I like his drumming and that's about it. I've played with cats that had played with Hendrix, Prince, David Grohl, and Kurt, Semisonic, Bob Dylan, Soul Asylum, The Replacements, Husker-du...etc...
No arguments in this band!
You out Roger, Roger! Your timing on the drums is spot on, you have David Gilmour nailed and you also do a great Richard! Fantastic job Ewan!
Every instrument is on point. This deserves billions of views!
This is incredibly fantastic and very close to the original live at Pompeii.. With one immense difference, All done by an eclectic multi-instrumentalist... Hats off... 🤟🤟👍👍🙏🙏
what a genius u are my lord !!!, god bless u i hope Roger and david and Nick could see this,Rick and Syd are watching you for sure....
If you have yourself cloned, you could do a live gig! first class cover well done mate.
I have grand ideas of possible gigs I'd like to do :-) Thanks for watching Joseph!
ewanjohncovers That would be cool and worth seeing, myself and obviously from the comments others would no doubt like to hear your own matarial, I've watched your other Floyd covers there all perfect, ever considered a king crimson cover?
+Joseph King I'm currently writing and recording my first original demo's. I'm excited to share them with everyone throughout this year! I've not listened to KC too much. I'd like to cover 21st Century Schizoid Man. My Dad is a big fan of King Crimson :-)
ewanjohncovers s awesome
ewanjohncovers sounds like your dad knows good music, look forward to hearing your matarial... keep us posted
Only a master can play this masterpiece so well. Great talent.
Cool!
Ich bin 60+, also mit Pink Floyd Musik aufgewachsen.
Schön, dass es junge Musiker gibt, die "Klassiker" der Rockmusik so ernst und genau und mit Herz interpretieren.
I love how it's shot exactly like the Pompeii video. Even the cuts from David Gimour to Roger Waters. Kickass vid.
You don't have to like PF (which I do so much) to see what an epic effort this is. Fabulous! Congratulations, man!
Thank you very much Rossen! Glad you liked it :-)
Found myself back again tonight.. Admiration... and scrolled down and Rossen's comment hit the nail on the head. Fabulous congratulations. East coast US beers on me if your ever in town. Best Wishes my friend.
Cool ass cover! Can't imagine how long it take to learn all the parts of a 23 minute song, record it, mix it, and do it with such amazing quality.
You're fucking insane man! It took me 5 minutes just to realize it was the same person playing everything. You got all my respect, congratulations for this colossal work! Thanks! Great job on the video production too. Be careful with hard panning instruments on the mix (keep the effects on the center, it will sound more full), but besides that... wow!
Thank you so much Lucas! I'm glad I almost tricked you into thinking it was 4 different people ;-) I wouldn't normally hard pan instrument like this but I was trying to emulate the mix of Live At Pompeii, which has instruments all over the stereo.
Lucas Vallim , if it was 4 different guys playing it, it wouldn't sound as well as this, talk about being in the same channel, good job.
Amazing cover! The best echoes cover I've ever seen!!
Thank you very much Jaume :-)
This is the greatest thing I have watched in 32 years of my existence on this planet.
Look up the original... pompeii pink floyd.. echoes.... this is the copy of the masterpiece.. very awesome but not the original..
Incredibly well played all the instruments, guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, effects and voice. After this, I think whatever touches will be easy for you. Congratulations and greetings from Perú.
This is breath-taking, kid. A masterpiece in covers. You are the best.
Thank you very much!
I'm 39. I am a PF Fan. And I am totally speechless. What a talented guy you are Ewan. Brilliant; just beyond brilliant...
This is the best cover of anything I've have ever seen on RUclips.
Absolutely great!!!! This young man has a ton of potential!!!! Happy travels man.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😮
I'd love to see a "Making of"!
Fucking amazing work dude. I would absolutely LOVE IT if you would cover Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety maybe? That would be incredible.
Would be a big challenge! I'd love to give it a go though. Thanks for your support dude :-)
Most anticipated video of the year right there for me if you do it. Good luck!
@@ewancunningham Yeah, if you please. We will be waiting!
Wow!
This is beyond shockingly good for several reasons:
1) just the fact that only YOU played all the instruments is more than enough to impress.
2) how you were able to sync (audio visually) all the instruments in the final mix is beyond me because this is not the kind of music you can simply sync to a click track. Even Pink Floyd didn’t sync it. They just played it together.
3) your age (so young).
4) the upside down lefty bass.
5) and…you’re rendition contains your own interpretation while staying true to the overall theme, tone and format.
You are brilliant!
Sublime, breathtaking, astonishing, out of this world, beautiful...
Hill LG Moonwalker see on RUclips at mysteriis de satan 14
Excellent reproduction right down to the butterfly on Mason's t-shirt.
Thanks a lot dude! Glad you noticed :-)
This is just one such kind of dreams when u see urself playing the guitar and the drums solo and all the hard hiting notes all while u r listining and enjoing the music. Great to see that u actually did this.
It took me till 1:39 till i realised , "hey: this is all one dude!"
Haha ....,😅
Nice job!
Increiblemente bien tocado todos los instrumentos, guitarra, bajo, teclado, batería, efectos y vos. Después de esto, creo que lo que sea que toques sera fácil para tí. Felicitaciones y saludos desde Perú.
Echoes at Pompeii has to be one of my favorite pieces of music Pink Floyd ever performed, and you NAILED it!
Блин, ну ты молодец, чувак. Круто, реально круто.
Man you got my respect god bless you!
That was perfect❤️
Thank you very much Jawad :-) glad you liked it
ewanjohncovers it is my pleasure ewan❤️
That transition to bass funk gets me every time; I’ve been a Floyd fan since my mid teens.
This is some next level stuff dude, I haven't even watched yet but I bet it's great.
Thank you so much man! Especially for sharing it on reddit :-) keep on rockin'
Es increiblemente bueno chicos, congratulations from Spain very good job.
Could be the single best individual rock effort ever, truly incredible to do this all on your own...
Well done !!! Nick Mason approves !
Haha thanks dude :-)
I can't believe this has just 2,392 views. This is video is so fucking great.
It has a bit more now, thanks for the great comment dude :-)
You are a true talent in this modern age. You played all parts of that flawlessly and you didn't change or add any improvised licks. You even nailed David's birds. I hope you go far in your musical career. You deserve it.
That almost brought me to the mid-20s existential crisis :P
Great work!!!
Cool. Pink Floyd best band ever!
Thanks a lot dude :-)
I've been a pink Floyd fan for nearly 50 years listened to this track hundreds of times as well covers of this and other Floyd song's there is some good stuff out there but this something else
A couple of things I've noticed watching this again that I missed the bass is a lefthander played right handed so strung upside down as if learning the part isn't hard enough also the original video/DVD is slightly off pitch you can hear it quite clearly in places don't know if its because it's been transferred from film to a digital format but it explains why it's difficult to play along to the soundtrack thought it was my bad playing which could still be a contributing factor
Nick Mason sent me here. Damn, you're good!
Thank you very much :-)
ewanjohncovers I was sent this video from a friend off mine ... I'm 61 years young and have been a fan and listener of Pink Floyd since I was 12 years old.
Son ..... all I can say is how impressed I am of your talent... remarkable. Please continue with your art.
Today you gained a new fan.....
I'll have egg, sausages, chips and beans , and a tea.
JL Chamberlain Haha lol. I think those who have the live at pompeii disk will understand.
Can I have a pie without crust
Chips are off...we got egg and bacon, egg sausage and bacon, egg and Spam, Spam eggs sausage and Spam, Spam Spam Spam baked beans and Spam....
Marmalade I like Marmalade
This porridge is nice.
Maybe the best cover of Echoes. And all that by a one man band. Kudos.
Dude.....BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!! About 15 years ago I saw "Live at Pompeii." Their performance on that recording influenced me more than anything. Overnight my musical taste matured. "Echoes"is always the song i go to when i want to hear greatness. And, you did it justice. Good job! My only semi-negative comment is let the drums ring more. A little too muffled. Awesome!
Thank you for the great comment dude! Glad to hear from someone else that was also inspired by the Live At Pompeii film :-)
ewanjohncovers Absolutely. I always heard of Pink Floyd and thought they were a good band, but that performance in Pompeii opened my eyes to the genius that is them. Again, impressed by the performance. Subscribed! All the best, from Memphis. :)
Holy crap. I normally hate covers but you up guys nailed it
Thanks a lot dude! But what do you mean "you guys"? ;-)
Sorry, was confused by the video and the fact that I was enjoying beer! Well done.
My mind literally lack vocabulary to demonstrate how creative, genial and a great way to celebrate this masterpiece is.
Your work is complete, Ewan!!
Un cover extraordinario, de lujo. Según veo es un solo artista multiplicado por 4.
