      No the highlight was the genuine guitarist playing the strat. The electric one dummies. The white guy stood across the room. Ed can’t play that fast for shit. Dylan wrote it, jimmy smashed it. Hopefully this would of taken some new people to the great original versions. This is really shit. Shows the state of society

      As a guitarist who loves Jimi Hendrix, and a vocalist who loves Ed Sheeran, and is inspired by both of them, I really like the rap verses in this song, I think it's a nice extension of what the song's lyrics. The lines are hard as hell, and I really like his performance. My favorite version of the song is easily still the Hendrix version but sometimes I feel there are too many guitar solos in his version and not enough focus on the lyrics. I like how Delvin's version focuses more on lyrics, because the lyrics are pretty hardcore, both the main lyrics and Delvin's added lyrics. And don't forget this is Delvin's arrangement of the song, it was his idea to do this. Delvin brought on Ed Sheeran to do vocals for his cover, not the other way around. Ed probably wouldn't have thought to even do this if Delvin didn't ask him to be on the project. But if you feel that strongly about it, there are versions of this song with no rap.

    some songs just should not be covered, some songs are perfectly good the way they are, this was one of these songs. These three have proven me wrong, they have not only covered but they have modernised it, made it there own, taken a perfectly good song and made it into another equally as good song. I don't like Devlin, nor am I a massive fan of Ed Sheeran, but this is a great song and it is very well done. People who don't like it, grow up and enjoy!

    Being someone who listens pretty much only rock music (my iTunes contains 95% rock and related genres) - I rate this version a lot. Devlin is actually a great rapper with some amazing messages, he doesn't just talk about drugs and the women he's f*cked or the cars he got; he's real. This cover is fantastic as it brings genres together instead of keeping them apart and I'm sure Dylan and Hendrix would have welcomed that.

      You aren't by a long shot...this thing shouldn't work, but it does...people dont want to hear this, but if Hendrix were alive today, he would have rap overlays and autotune and sampling and all that...I guarantee he would

      U were right until you got to autotune, sorry, but no, he wouldn't

      Brian Raney Hendrix didn’t even write the song, he did the best version but Bob Dylan originally wrote the song. They need to stay away from classic songs if all they’re gonna do is change the verses and add rappers on it. It takes away the original and feeling it gave.

      Agreed! This remade version he fucking stole to claim "his new single" is fucking terrible! I am surprised Ed Sheeran did this SHAT! Fucking TERRIBLE!
