Why do the Scots all have to make it about Scotland? Do you feel like the poor relation/short guys lol. Just asking. For example; if it was a cover of an American band's tune by Blur for instance, I wouldn't feel the need to say that 'my countrymen did it proud'
@@tabascocat5102 Seems to bother you more than it does me. Spare me the disingenuousness you English are acknowledged as just about the most jingoistic people on the planet. Could it be that you are just a ‘little Englander?’ 😉
@@Stormbringer75 I'd like to know who thinks that. I see less jingoistic behaviour here in England, FROM the English than any others. St Georges day is almost forgotten but, St Patricks? St. Andrew's Day? They're big. I'm just curious
There have been cover versions of this song performed by much bigger bands, but Gun's version remains the absolute best! Also, I just realized that I remember watching this very videoclip for the first time on MTV back in the mid-90s. LOL! Man I'm old...
Going to see Gun in Dundee tomorrow at the Beat Generator. Saw them at the same venue last August. First time that I saw Gun live was in 1987 at Fat Sam's in Dundee. There's been a few personnel changes since then though. I believe it's only the two brothers left from the original line up. Gun are from Calton, Glasgow.
Still one of the best bands that Scotland produced and they had an inspired cover here. Happy days standing outside the "Barrowlands" going to "Gun " gigs..
I heard GUN play this cover back in 1992 at Glasgow Barrowland long before it was even released...... Totally blew me away, was such a great gig.... This band are STILL great, cannot wait for their new album in 2024, their new single All Fired Up is awesome and hankers back to the days of Gallus and Swagger.
Saw these guys do this live in the 1990's... as an opening band for Bon Jovi. Joan Osborne aka If god was one of us was boo'd off stage she was so bad.... 20,000 of us on the field..p155 wet through... waiting for Jovi... These guys came on... started with this... in minutes, we didnt give a crap that the heavens were still falling on us.. we were... ROCKING!!!!!
HM Axyl yeah this version is deep and dirty heavy, but still maintains crispyness round the edges, helped by the vocalist not growling or screeching or screaming. So it is very heavy metal instead of grungy imo
Best cover song ever. I was with mates in Newquay one year and this was the song of the weekend. Will never forget it. Sounds as awesome today as it ever did.

Just heard this excellent cover in the space capsule heading for ISS. The crew have made a mixtape that's playing in the capsule prior to takeoff and Tim Peake's playlist is made of UK bands so he's to thank for including Gun :)
One of the best covers of ANY track ever, from the Glasgow boys. Bought the 12" single of this in 1994. Loved it then....love it more now. Robin Topping 31st Mat 2014
This one and Korn's version are the best. And I don't say this because I'm a nu metal fan, but I think that these two versions are the best covers. Gun made it hard rock, and Korn made it nu metal.
Christ on a bike this takes me back. played this album on repeat. this version of word up kicked serious ass and i loved it. i think there was an issue back in the day where they had to rename themselves G.U.N as there was another band with the same name or something. i could have it in reverse though. Great to stumble across this again. oh the memories :)
Tim Peake's space capsule takeoff playlist - says it all fabulous and more and Gun's video has enough swagger alone for liftoff. As good as it gets. Simply the best and a total blast on a cold snowy day. Glad I heard Tim Peake talk about it on Radio 4 the other day. Off you go Tim and Gun a perfect pairing up there in space.
35th anniversary of the release of a classic song: "Word Up!" is a funk and R&B song originally recorded by American funk band Cameo and released as a single on 27th May 1986, becoming the band's best known hit. My favourite cover version is this, the 1994 cover by British hard rock band Gun, which peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart.
This CD single was like my third music purchase, I was totally mesmerized. I thought it sounded so cool that I could hear every inhale between the words on the vocal track. Sounded dangerous! xD
Superb. This is how you re-work a classic. Love the ladies as well, Miss Pouting and Gorgeous with the Nose Ring and Miss Fantastic in the hat. Wonderful. Great song and vid.
30 years later I still come back to this. Legendary.
There's no way 1994 was 30 years ago............ damn :(

The 1986 original is still the best.
Such a criminally underrated band. That voice - one of the best in modern rock.

Giuliano "Jools" Gizzi (guitar) and Gary Moore (guitar).
@@dennis-vl2nz yep
@@VenturiLife Gary Moore isn't playing on this
So nice of Cameo to write such a head-banger for Gun!
Possibly the best cover of all time!
There have been a few and this is deffo up there
No way 😂
Definitely in my opinion.

O Korn fez uma versão dessa música, más a do GUN é muito melhor
I only ever heard the Korn cover but i think i like this one better.
Excellent remake which made original rocking even better!🤘
1 Of the best covers ever made in music history.
Najlepsza wersja tego utworu . Jest moc !
Całkiem spoko, ale wolę wersję od zespołu Korn. Choć w tej wersji jest lepsza solówka gitarowa.
@johndevin100 tu gitara naprawdę gra chociarz Korn ma tę nu metalową moc .
Still an absolute banger in 2024
Facts
Hell yeah!! 🔥
The best cover song, hands down
This has always rocked….best cover of the original by a country a mile! That solo!
Yup rocked the day I heard it in "Barbwire" movie and still does today.
90's production quality
Still sounds very up-to-date and fresh, without any doubt that's the best version of this song. Long Live Rock'n'Roll !
Except for the oiginal
it's a great cover, but the best version is the original
This ia the best cover of Word Up 🎸😎🙏
I love the original, but this version has life of its own 🎸💙🙏😎
Damn, still sounds so good after 30 years, unreal talent.
One of my favourite covers of this song.
It took balls to cover this and turn it into one of the best covers ever recorded
The original is not from Korn though. The original is from 1986 from Cameo.
@@salembookworm I think everyone knew that

I love every version of this song but this is the definitive version for me.
I remember listening to this while Pamela Anderson dancing this music on Barb Wire! Peace!

You was an lucky one in1992 never catch this Moniument of Scotch Rock...live
The Drums sound beautiful
I' ve heard better sounding snares...
A great cover of a great song. I saw Cameo live in the 1980s. It was one of the best concerts I've seen.
Best cover version ever, hands down...love it.
This one is good too but imo korn's cover is better

Still the best cover of this track I've heard to date.
Better than the original. Oddly enough, i actually think this version is "heavier" than Korn's. Their's is more "grimy" and "seedy" I think. :D
HM Axyl

Gary Moore I couldn't agree more. :)
my favourite version of this song is by The BossHoss idk they just make it so it fits better
Never realised that it was a cover. I mainly know this song because of gun
Best cover song ever. I was with mates in Newquay one year and this was the song of the weekend. Will never forget it. Sounds as awesome today as it ever did.
Funnily enough, so does this, which I'd offer in rebuttal... ruclips.net/video/19d2aolIx0E/видео.html
One of the few covers I can really stand. Great job Gun..
Love the original, but this cover....wow!
This is the coolest version of this track by a mile!!! Such an awesome attitude in the voice.
nothing is better than the original
Oh My......Arguably the best cover of any Song Ever. Inspired. The guitar break seals the deal, beautifuly arranged cover.
I'm not a fan of hard rock, but an R&B man, so of course I love the original version by Cameo. However, this version is simply amazing. Wow!
J ai scotché direct quand j' ai connu cette reprise il y a longtemps
Et toujours dans le coup 👍

Swagger is such an incredible album. Every song is top notch.
They were not very good.
Gun rocks this. By far the best version.
Cameo has to be joint #1 with them....
2nd best version. It slaps though.
Agree
The best cover. This and Korn's cover. Both are legendary covers of Cameo's song.
nothing is better than the original

Great band, great cover. Mark you are missed
seen em live great band
I bloody love this version
