This is one of the only covers where I've sat in an empty room and watched, mouth agape, and then looked around to see if the 0 people in the room were as impressed as I was when he smashed the end of the solo out. Absolutely incredible.
I studied music and a feel like he is doing something good for all of us. He maybe was kind of a spoiled kid on his days but, He surely rocked the shit out of that guitar.
@@danielnutt9 Calm Down Chylde... most compositions have different ways to play the same notes but on different strings in another scale, Cheers for your input son. Also I have met them all on a few different occasions over the last 20 years with my mates and had a beer when going to see them play live.
People might get caught up that it's not 'note' perfect to the song, but dude, in all honesty, watching you have fun shredding is just as exhilirating. If you can get into your own shredding and pump it out, you can bet your arse that the people watching you play will be just as amped up for it too. shred on
Also you can call this his "interpretation" of the song. Where a musician can take a piece of music and add something to it without completely forgetting of its origin.
This is still the best "Cult" cover I've seen on RUclips. It's not "mindless shredding" if it symbolizes the rage in the song. Only if it is just "look how great I play guitar" is it mindless shredding. Unfortunately, that's how most shred enthusiasts treat it -- they turn musicians into performing monkeys, not artists with minds and purpose.
***** So wait hang on, you report somebody's comment as abuse when he retaliates to a troll but you don't report the troll's comment as abuse? You're pathetic.
Wow, you freaking nailed it man. Watching you play the solos especially is a real treat, I have to go learn this now. Seriously, watching you shred is exhilarating just to watch.
Uhh... dude? I think Vernon would be like "Holy shit, this fuckin guy is playin' my riff better than I do!" Sorry for the pro-phanity. It's one of my favorite songs all-time, and I have never heard anyone play a cover of it like that before. Badass dude!
Still love this cover. Love how he's so into it, feeling the music, makes me wish I had the attention span and willpower to learn something so complex. I'll stick to my penny whistle and pots and pans xD
The guy that said he felt like he should've paid for it said it best, this was ridiculous. I really hope you're still playing because this was incredible.
Dude - you killed it !!!! It's hard enough to play it exactly like the original... BUT.... To play it your way, improvising it and making it sound that good.... THAT IS TRUE TALENT !!!! Everybody who thumbs down this video - most likely can't do it like you did or even play the original version. THUMBS UP !!!!
Really good playing dude. You are very talented and I hope you're in a band and making awesome original music the way that Living Colour did (and still are) way back in 88!
Do you fucking know how fucking hard it is to do this? i'm learning to play this and i keep screwing up yet you were so easy and and calm and just fuckin doing it like its nothing you are a fucking god ROCK ON!!!
I read in a old rolling stones mag that the solo in this song is like impossible quite possibly the hardest solo to nail, I'v been looking for somebody on youtube that's nailed it and this guy has come the closest ..........
Son, you one badass on that geetar! LOL! I love it! The emotion, the excitement of the song, the engergy ... even the improv ... ALL 110% GREAT!!! Rock on!
Back for another comment. One of the baddest things I have ever heard and I have been to the joint not proud of it but keep rocking the scales everyday in Your sleep even and We will be rocking like this Dude one day
Mean playing brother. Those riffs bring back awesome memories of younger days. Keep playing all the old school stuff pls bro. Bring it all back home for us. We too busy now lol. Got kids and shit but I can depend on you to do justice. Rock on brother. Nice cover. Up the old school.
Ok, so I found this vid to try and maybe learn this song...now I think I'll just set the ol' geetar back down, grab a beer, and watch this again! You Rock Bro!
first, we have a "woman" playing metallica and now rey mysterio is playing cult of personality! now justin bieber will play motley crue! What kind of world do we live in now?
You totally did complete justice to one of the best rock songs EVER written and performed!!!! Top 5 song ever and you nailed it!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Honestly... I feel like I should have paid to watch that. You're a savage dude
Save some cheek for everyone.
This is one of the only covers where I've sat in an empty room and watched, mouth agape, and then looked around to see if the 0 people in the room were as impressed as I was when he smashed the end of the solo out. Absolutely incredible.
@@Chaoslava this and the Asian dude doing cannon rock 2.
Let something be free bro 😉
I studied music and a feel like he is doing something good for all of us.
He maybe was kind of a spoiled kid on his days but, He surely rocked the shit out of that guitar.
I love how he plays it the hardest way possible
just had to flex on us
What you mean properly like the guitarist in the band. haha
@@iaincrawford3319 no he's playing the main riff in a different pattern compared to vernon
@@danielnutt9 Calm Down Chylde... most compositions have different ways to play the same notes but on different strings in another scale, Cheers for your input son.

I think this way is easier tbh
This guy has some awesome rhythm!! Beautiful job man!!!
0:10
Never seen someone play so smooth following the song's flow.
The solos were a treat to the ears.
People might get caught up that it's not 'note' perfect to the song, but dude, in all honesty, watching you have fun shredding is just as exhilirating. If you can get into your own shredding and pump it out, you can bet your arse that the people watching you play will be just as amped up for it too.
shred on
Andrew Gammie it's even better this way because the song was intended to be played a bit sloppily. It flows better sloppy than when played tight
Also you can call this his "interpretation" of the song. Where a musician can take a piece of music and add something to it without completely forgetting of its origin.
Technically This guy's solo was better so I don't know why that kid brought that up. How is Your shredding bud
There is no perfect certain. In living colour never plays the solo the same twice.
Sometimes You have to play what sounds best from You
12 years later I keep coming back to this cover. Well done!!
SAME-one of the best performances I've seen
Possibly the greatest guitar cover of Cult Of Personality ever made. Well done dude 👏👏👌
Quite possibly one of RUclips's all time best covers! This is a mindbender of a song and the cover is excellent!
Still listening in 2020??
Listening in 2021...
Rock and roll never dies...
2021 brotha
2024
2024 as well
2024
You Rock!!
100% on expert
I can only fc hard
Lol yes
Vernon Reid's tone was SO good here. I remember the summer that song came out, man, hear that pumping at a party, it was awesome!
This is still the best "Cult" cover I've seen on RUclips. It's not "mindless shredding" if it symbolizes the rage in the song. Only if it is just "look how great I play guitar" is it mindless shredding. Unfortunately, that's how most shred enthusiasts treat it -- they turn musicians into performing monkeys, not artists with minds and purpose.
man you FUCKING DID THAT SOLO!!!!!!
Oooooohhhhhhhh!
*****
***** ok...
WTFisCollege182 😂😂😂😂 💩 that was good
*****
So wait hang on, you report somebody's comment as abuse when he retaliates to a troll but you don't report the troll's comment as abuse? You're pathetic.
The man is back, its clobbering time!!!!
I play a long with you on the bass and it's the most fun I've had playing! Keep up the great work!
You captured the essence of the song! Best cover I've seen so far! You inspire me to make my own covers
I used to watch this video daily like 3 or 4 years ago and coming back to it now and I still love it. Banger cover dude. You've got talent.
you have that tremolo down, man. sounds so damn good!
Damn Thats a fat cat yo
Here in 2020 lockdown to say that was absolutely quality!
That solo made my jaw drop open!
You also got something a lot of videos don t get and that's saved to my playlist to enjoy again that's mega respect to you
Did I just listen to the studio version??? Perfect cover man.
Wow, you freaking nailed it man. Watching you play the solos especially is a real treat, I have to go learn this now. Seriously, watching you shred is exhilarating just to watch.
Those harmonics you add to the intro stop my soul in its tracks every time. Love when people improve like this.
Uhh... dude? I think Vernon would be like "Holy shit, this fuckin guy is playin' my riff better than I do!" Sorry for the pro-phanity. It's one of my favorite songs all-time, and I have never heard anyone play a cover of it like that before. Badass dude!
That might have been one of the greatest covers of any song I've seen on RUclips
Forget "might have been" that shit was off the charts !!
Still love this cover. Love how he's so into it, feeling the music, makes me wish I had the attention span and willpower to learn something so complex. I'll stick to my penny whistle and pots and pans xD
The guy that said he felt like he should've paid for it said it best, this was ridiculous. I really hope you're still playing because this was incredible.
Word!
I never learned the solos either note for note.. just the basic outlines..
BEST IN THE WORLD
Damn bro that's a sweet cover. You shredded that shit man 🎶
The best guitar cover I've ever seen on RUclips and better cover of even my favorite songs good job man
Excellent cover!
This man really KNOWS how to use a Floyd Rose bridge ladies and gentlemans...
Kudos to you buddy, great work!
the thing about music its thats about you can do whatever you want, so, awsome improvisations on the solos, nice job! Congrats!
Dude - you killed it !!!!
It's hard enough to play it exactly like the original...
BUT....
To play it your way, improvising it and making it sound that good....
THAT IS TRUE TALENT !!!!
Everybody who thumbs down this video - most likely can't do it like you did or even play the original version.
THUMBS UP !!!!
Really good playing dude. You are very talented and I hope you're in a band and making awesome original music the way that Living Colour did (and still are) way back in 88!

Paul Veilside does anyone have a clue indeed. Im trying and trying, its so hard
+Paul Veilside its easy man keep practicin other songs then after some time get back to this
Just takes practice, like everything does. I can understand how difficult it could be. I'm going to try to learn this song today.
Paul Williams I just can't get that insane solo down
I read in a old rolling stones mag that the solo in this song is like impossible quite possibly the hardest solo to nail, I'v been looking for somebody on youtube that's nailed it and this guy has come the closest ..........
Son, you one badass on that geetar! LOL! I love it! The emotion, the excitement of the song, the engergy ... even the improv ... ALL 110% GREAT!!! Rock on!
You are badass. Fuck haters. Vernon Reid told me he approves.
