I apologize for messing with your video analytics. I've probably watched this video 10,000 times over the last 9 years. I love it just as much in 2023 as I did in 2014. This is probably one of the best pieces of art ever created!
I have to add to 'Watch List' for this faultless and joyful Rocketman rendition over the years. This cover is simply ... out of this world and a giant leap for Rocketmankind!
Do you know why bluegrass musicians don't smile while they play???............. Because they take their music VERY SERIOUSLY!!!! ( That's an old Bill Monroe joke )
Pretty old video now, but I love this. Plus, it really makes you think about how sure, an astronaut is a prestigious job but at the end of the day, they are just like us in that they miss their home, and have to fix stuff and keep boring records but in space.
Fun fact: For every four members any bluegrass band has, one is legally required to work for the county or township. Volunteer fire counts as long as he has a mustache.
I was raised in Bluegrass a genre my daddy loved and led me to love. He played every string instrument there was and gave me my love for music. And I love these guys. Makes my heart smile and brings back wonderful amazing memories.
Me and my husband have been rocking our 9 month old to sleep to this song every night the last couple weeks. It’s got a great rocking beat. Great cover
@@hermes9220 If he has Bible teachings up on youtube please give me the like....I am sure he gives a good sermon if he puts that level of effort into playing that well.
This song means a lot to me one of my buddies passed away in 2010 in a mining accident along with his uncle and his cousin .. they used to listen to these great tunes.. may god bless the 25 men who lost their lives on that day..:(
Just wonderful, truly fantastic when I feel down, heavy at work I listen to this and the bounce comes back into my step. Thank you all at Iron Horse and glad tidings.
this is the theme tune to my holiday in New Zealand March 17. this was and is my go to track once we parked up at night. brings back so many memories of good times. THANK YOU.
This the first song I had every heard from Iron Horse. Found myself dancing around the man cave!! lol Just an unbelievable cover of an awesome classic.
I have never posted a comment on youtube before, but this song right here, definitely deserves one. I am very impressed! I dont typically like bluegrass, but y'all are some extremely talented men! I adored your cover quite possibly more than the original. You got a fan in me for sure!!!
I watched this shortly after published back in 2014 and have watched it almost every week since. Cannot get enough of this song and Iron Horse has become a regular part of my rotation now. I am not a huge music fan (I listen to very little anymore), but everything these guys do just really gets to me.
I feel ya Bear Cat and if i'm being honest I probably do listen to this at least every other day. In fact I listen to Iron Horse quite regularly and this is coming from someone who was raised on 70's rock.
This is one of the best covers to any song I’ve ever heard. In fact, I prefer it over the original, which I am also very fond of. I do not often listen to music, nor do I have a propensity to listen to this genre, but on the occasion that I choose to listen to something, I am usually paying special attention to signs of musical and artistic mastery, to which I often feel as though musical pieces may have been better if certain aspects were modified in some way. This is a top-tier musical performance, which I would say is as close to perfect as I’ve ever heard before. I simply had no interest in critique. It’s wonderful. I wept @1:59 from the blend of harmonics and instrumentation. Credit to the artist and sound mixer. An outstanding performance.
Someone said that this was amazing. That is a tired overworked adjective but is entirely appropriate. I am listening to this for the third time today. Love it!!!
Funny, it seems their focus is on Metallica covers yet I think this is their best song. Great job fellas. ( not saying the Metallica covers are bad, this one just blows them away) Well done!
My brother and I love bluegrass also love the soggy bottom boys in the George Clooney movie Oh brother where are you?
Can't stop listening to Rocket Man I'm addicted to listening to this song. Iron horse rule definitely better than original sorry Elton.

I can't say this about a lot of video but the more I watch this the more I like it.
Yes, -Sir !!
me too! :))
This is my first time hearing this. They did a phenomenal job!
I have to add to 'Watch List' for this faultless and joyful Rocketman rendition over the years.
This cover is simply ... out of this world and a giant leap for Rocketmankind!
instant happiness.
Four middle aged men putting other bands to shame by sheer talent. This is how it's done. Brilliant and always makes me sing along.
Ive always loved this song, but this cover is absolutely the best!!!
This is off the chain. Beautiful harmony
A true bluegrass band.... not a smile among them, fantastic.
Got that high lonesome sound.
Do you know why bluegrass musicians don't smile while they play???............. Because they take their music VERY SERIOUSLY!!!!
( That's an old Bill Monroe joke )
Truth at it's best !
Pin this
lmao
yo....the banjo is the most underrated instrument.ever....the speed and rhythm in which they play.....lit!
Love this take on a classic Elton masterpiece... never gets old

Vance is a pretty great history buff to have as a neighbor!
The absolute best version hands down
Awesome, funny, sad, well sung GREAT song.
Bluegrass Fusion, Excellent!
10 years already. Wow. I hope time has been good to you all.
Perfect takeoff, perfect landing. Truly inspiring. Thanks men.
This is the first time i have heard these Guys. BLOWN AWAY!
Not just playing the song. But making it brand new . Sweet guys
I was raised in Bluegrass a genre my daddy loved and led me to love. He played every string instrument there was and gave me my love for music. And I love these guys. Makes my heart smile and brings back wonderful amazing memories.
Me and my husband have been rocking our 9 month old to sleep to this song every night the last couple weeks. It’s got a great rocking beat. Great cover
Some truly killer harmonies. Seriously talented guys.
I love Bluegrass and I love Elton John. This is like when chocolate ran into Peanut Butter and we all got Reeses.
KodenameKrusty I know right they are freakin phenomenal
Peak simile game by the way; that was very good
They go to my church he preaches
KodenameKrusty if you ran into Elton John you wouldn't get peanut butter and chocolate, but you could get your fudge packed
@@hermes9220 If he has Bible teachings up on youtube please give me the like....I am sure he gives a good sermon if he puts that level of effort into playing that well.
The vocals and harmony are just riveting...
There isn't anything better than this cover. I'm amazed.
I’ve listened to this multiple times and just can’t get enough! This is an excellent bluegrass version of a classic. Thanks you.
Yes sir ree
YES YES YES AMEN
Just incredible, better than the original well done guys you have lifted a dull UK Monday.
this song is perfect . the bass intro is set the tone.
This just doesn't get old.
This just stays awesome.
The Petersens don't get old either.
These guys would be a great band for any occasion. The kind of happy music that leaves you a little melancholy.
Wusste nicht, dass der junge Johann Lafer neben Kochen auch noch so musikalisch ist.😉 - Ein klasse Lied von Iron Horse! Top!
My god, the vocals on this version are outstanding! The harmonies couldn't possibly be any tighter. Amazing!
Ur ass lookin like one of the dudes in the video
GUYS.......best stuff I've heard for years. Well done.
Banjo guy - bluegrass hero right there. 💪
The banjo and mandolin in this video is tremendous.
This is excellent musicianship, you can tell they've been playing together for a long time.
This is one of the best covers I have ever heard. By anyone. Of anything.
I love when an authentic band puts a twist on a classic. Commemorating a legend in the best way possible :D
How could we not like such musicianship? bravo.
This song means a lot to me one of my buddies passed away in 2010 in a mining accident along with his uncle and his cousin .. they used to listen to these great tunes.. may god bless the 25 men who lost their lives on that day..:(
TzD MxVix - Condolences to everyone there. Stay strong! I'm sure they're enjoying their favorite music somewhere else...
this is unbelievably good , fantastic voices as well as the playing
Never get enough of this....Eat your heart out Sir John.....😁
These guys are even better live, proud that these guys were my sons first concert
That's my kind of music! Rock on!
I am from Brazil. I'm impressed! I'm Amazed! This sound mix took me! My best find of this year. Congratulations! Iron Horse and Elton John!!!!
If you like a good sound mix, check out Chris Isaak. Even his live mixes are amazing.
Just wonderful, truly fantastic when I feel down, heavy at work I listen to this and the bounce comes back into my step. Thank you all at Iron Horse and glad tidings.
I'm the same. It gives you a pep in Yr step
It gets better ever time I hear it!! Greatest Bluegrass cover of a Pop song ever.
People keep saying the banjo dude is killing it and he definitely is. Everyone of these guys is killing it.
Imo the best rendition i ve ever eared. Evenmy wife that is not a big bluegrass fan loves it.
I love this more than the original
I listen to these guys perpetually they are solid gold. Come to Tallahassee please!
I miss my lefty banjo! I'll get another, someday. Great tune.
I have always loved this song. This version gave me goosebumps. I don't get goosebumps.
That's the spirit my freind

Credit to the artist and sound mixer. An outstanding performance.
Yep, I agree. This cover is a giant leap for Rocketmankind! I love it.
I agree. The mastery of these instrumentals and vocals are very moving to the soul. Amazing how talented these folks are.
Had to take a trip down memory lane and watch this music video, now time to watch The History of Future Folk!
I love all music, from Rob Zombie to Celine Dion to Buckwheat Zydeco. This is definitely in my top 3!! How serendipitous that I happened upon this.
Someone said that this was amazing. That is a tired overworked adjective but is entirely appropriate. I am listening to this for the third time today. Love it!!!
Fantastic
I love this so much!!! Stumbled across yall last night and can't wait to hear more!!!! Fantastic artists!!!!!!!

A great blue grass rendition of a great rock song,
The intensity in his face as he plays and sings...........
What a great rendition!
WOW!! I am blown away!! How excellent😱😱😱😵😵😵😵 this made my day!!
Funny, it seems their focus is on Metallica covers yet I think this is their best song. Great job fellas. ( not saying the Metallica covers are bad, this one just blows them away) Well done!
TOTALLY totally agree YumFuz, and it would be even better if they'd just bring the bass solo up a little louder.........smidgeon
kev Agreed.
Idk if it beats elton...
Agreed. This is definitely their best cover.
Just amazing! These guys are just amazing! I'm floored.
That bass player playing without frets is badass. Come back to Lexington sometime!!
