      Those kind of solos are that ruins the original flow and wibe of cool tracks. Hate them. And overall they mostly failed here to deliver the melody.

      @@SandroUNDEAD They totally kept the original groove, the guitar does a perfect job deliviering the melody. The improvisations blend seemlessly into that groove and give it a new touch. That's why I totally disagree. Not only did they create something new (which is the goal of every good cover), they stuck close enough to the original at the necsessary points to deliver its spirit.
      An adaptation of the Act 2 arrangment and the hammond organ like sound in the middle part would have been nice, tough.

    this bass line is SO tight. it's too bad they couldn't get a manual player to play it live on a fretless. but it's also pretty fire to see the synth pulling it off with his left hand and basically never missing a beat for 6 minutes straight.

    • @duffman18
      @duffman18 6 років тому

      Super Soul Bros. One thing that always has international bands from all over, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Sweden, etc. Is beatle week. Yeah 85% of the bands are beatles cover bands (the other 15% is rolling stones or the who or the kinks etc). But a lot of the bands cover the beatles in their own way. Like one bands does punk covers. Your amazing musicianship would be super popular if you did a jazz funk cover of beatles songs like you do with game music. This is just a suggestion, it's a bit out of left field so I obviously expect you to not want to do that lol. But just an idea
