My brother gave me this link and said he heard this song for the first time and he loved it! Imagine someone's first hearing of smashing pumpkins is from you! Great one my friend
Amazing cover of my all time favorite song!! I'm 72 and been playing in bands since the 60's and this song caught on to me and I caught on to it and will ALWAYS love it! Great job, I will listen many more times! You have a great voice!
"1979" Shakedown 1979 Cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet Junebug skipping like a stone With the headlights pointed at the dawn We were sure we'd never see an end to it all And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below Double-cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in store Morphine city slipping dues down to see That we don't even care as restless as we are We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts And poured cement, lamented and assured To the lights and towns below Faster than the speed of sound Faster than we thought we'd go Beneath the sound of hope Justine never knew the rules, Hung down with the freaks and ghouls No apologies ever need be made I know you better than you fake it to see That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below The street heats the urgency of now As you see there's no one around
I decided to mess with this tune. Looking for a good cover. This is spot on! I know its a 2014 but if this cat still checks the comments....excellent man!
You obviously have no idea who I am but we've played 1979 together many times. You sang and I was your second guitar from this side of the keyboard. I want to thank you for this, it seems to me that it is better than the original. Sincerely. Your friend From Argentina.
@@CharlieSheps Thanks for replying! thats really good to hear that you're still playing guitar, i checked out your band and you guys great such great music! safe to say have got yourself and your band a new fan!
When he played that intro I was like wtf is this than he played that riff than he sang and well dude you are awesome I can only play the riff 😭 can't sing while playing
Does nobody realize he plays it exactly how Marty Schwartz does in the tutorial video for the song. Cool man. I had to tweak the chords a lil bit bc I didn't think they sounded alright.

Nobody realises how hard this song is to sing while playing the riff to such accuracy.
Yeah that bend always messes me up
Its actually a lot easier to me than playing a normal four chord song. I like songs with patterns I guess
So hard, literally why I’m searching for people doing covers of it lol. Trying to fix my brain.
Exactly
@@Ryanbaggarly VERY HARD TO PLAY AND SING THIS SONG - BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO... GREETINGS FROM LAS VEGAS
dude singing this with the riff is insane. even billy would just half ass it sometimes and play a straight chord! good shit man
haha thanks!
@@CharlieShepsyeah kudos man. Tried playing it confused while singing it and asked my sister to sing for me lol.
Crazy that you can sing this while playing. Awesome cover.
Super hard cadence with the vocals.
is true...is very difficult
Lol 😂
@@javiertorres1770 kind of like spelling

"1979"
Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double-cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slipping dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go
Beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it to see
That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now
As you see there's no one around
Sup Kurt 😁
