Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild (Obligatory 80's Metal Guitar Cover Pt. 4)
Вставка

- Toss up between this and 18 & Life to add to my hypothetical 'ultimate 80's metal' setlist. I can foresee more ballads being added to the set so I thought this would keep it more rocky. I'll no doubt be doing 18 & Life along with many more Skid Row in the future. This one is really fun to play and deceivingly challenging with all these little pull off licks in between the sections. Solos are also a challenge but a fun one at that. :)

This Jem of a song.... slammed through the charts like a freight train... pulverizing any grunge waiting to be heard..with SB making sure true metal wasnt going out without a fight..
Flag on the play: revisionist history. Now, for context, I LOVE Skid Row, and I was CRAZY about this song. But 'grunge' wasn't a thing, not yet. Skid Row S/T dropped in 89, but Nevermind was 91. Before Nirvana, you had a couple bands in the charts that could be described as 'alternative', (I'm thinking the Chili Peppers, REM, The Cure) but nothing that I EVER heard described as 'grunge.' I would posit that the first Skid Row single that went toe-to-toe with 'grunge' per se was Monkey Business, and we all know how that fight went. You could say that Nirvana was 'waiting to be heard', but my issue with that is that Nirvana's first album was on Sub-Pop. That's an underground label. They put out records by The Dwarves, Mudhoney, Poison Idea, true underground bands, at the time. 'Bleach' era Nirvana was in competition with bands like Black Flag, the Misfits, the Chili Peppers, or Ministry. 'Nevermind,' on the other hand, was a Geffen record. THAT put Nirvana in competition with Guns 'n' Roses, Aerosmith, The Eagles, The Who... it was a different SCALE. Once Nirvana was being distributed on the scale that it was GONNA get heard, it got heard, and Skid Row was NEVER a significant threat. And I say this as a guy that likes Skid Row 10 times more than I like Nirvana.
I used to listen to this album everyday while walking miles to-from and across college. Great job!
Cheers! You must've been power walking all the way. :P
cleanest cover on youtube \m/
Very kind, cheers!
Been watching your covers for years man. The most efficient and accurate cover artist on youtube! Awesome!
Thanks man, very kind! :)
Love skid row. Always loved scotti hills sound
Perfection! I'd love to see you do Firehouse "Lover's Lane." Fantastic guitar jam.
Kickass.
Well done. Played perfectly.
Love your covers!! Great job on nailing the intricacies of all the songs you do!!
Cracking video dude! It's one where you cannot resist singing along to.
Haven’t heard this song in so long. Great cover!
Absolutely LOVE watching you playing these old school tunes. So much different than just listening to them. Well done!
Great song and great cover.
One of my fav hard'n'heavy songs.
Thank you so much for covering this.
Killer tune like always.See you on your next video :)
The last great song from the era! You hit a home run man!!
Holy Get-The-Fuck-Out, it must be more than a _decade_ since I last heard this song . . .
I still knew every single word tho'! - I grew up with this band and as a genuine, angry, scared and confused, rebel without a clue, youth gone mad, their songs got printed permanently on my subconscious.
There's enough clutter in my mind that they can get buried from time to time, but a bit of a nudge at the right time brings it all flooding back. Ah, good times! (Well - if I'm honest, not so good. Pretty bad times actually, just like the younger years of pretty much anyone who feels attracted by this kind of music I'm guessing. The good songs got us through tho'!)
Thanx a lot dude, for the trip down memory lane as well as the excellent performance! Rock on!

Hey dude - the first concert I ever went to, way back in 1993, was Def Leppard.
Don Valley Stadium, in Sheffield.
It was Terrorvision, Ugly Kid Joe, Thunder and Def Leppard.
Hell of a day - I was fifteen.
I know exactly what you mean. These songs were my escape from reality until i graduted to more sinister avenues of escaping. But i made it.
@@Val_kyriee
Yep. I think I know exactly what *_you_* mean too dude.
Congrats on surviving - I know from experience, that ain't easy.
@@stickiedmin6508 likewise my friend.
Wow, my favorite band of the 90's and the best anthem ever, you make it look so easy
Another great job!! love how you take the time to dial in the tones to be spot on!!
That was the perfect sound. Great job man. Never stop playing!!

This tune is way more fun than 18 & Life. REALLY GREAT!!
Those guys had some fucking pimp ass solos.. man they where great
💥 Even Mix is Dead On. 🎸Bravo💥
Great cover!!! Please, add to your list Firehouse - All she wrote, another great 80's song!
Will give it a listen. Cheers Wagner!
Agreed. There’s a ton of firehouse you could do. Check out Reach For the Sky as well.
@@TOTALPWNAGE3 Firehouse - agreed from the guy that has a Firehouse tattoo on his shoulder - All She Wrote or Don't treat me Bad
@@bwm5150 Rock On The Radio and Don't Walk Away are excellent, from that first album, also. Heck, the ENTIRE album is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, we would like to see you cover some of those !!!!
🤘Good Stuff 🤘

Bad ass
Автору нравится всё, что нравится мне!))

I covered this as lead guitar in 1990 when I was 16 in front of the entire school. My wig got stuck down the guitar strings and I missed every beat.
Ufff!!!! 👏👏👏👏
Park Avenue leads to……SKID ROW!
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance - The Hot Wind Blowing
Bro you are awesome
Because we are the youth gone wild!!! Can you do any Dio cover like the songs that
Vivian did
Thanks! Possibly. I don't listen to Dio that much but I think I should probably try Rainbow in the Dark at some point for the solo :)
I'm just a new subscribers to your channel but all the song I've listened brings me back to my youth periods...oh could you please play a song from warrant from their first or second album🙏🙏
Certainly hope to get to Warrant soon.
@@bwm5150 thank you...may be heaven/I saw red/ uncle's tom cabin would be perfect🙏🙏
2 thums up..We've been waiting for Wasted Time, please.. Thank you
Love all your cover of Skid Row songs! Your guitar is so beautiful!! Please let know if you wish to upgrade your guitar, seriously 555.
Thanks! Not quite sure what you mean though regarding the guitar.
@@bwm5150 I mean if you want to sell this guitar in the future, I would like the opportunity to take care of it if possible. Cheers.
Ah I see, sorry to disappoint but this was my first so I would never sell it. I have upgraded to a Charvel but I like to play both.
@@bwm5150 I understand, cry cry... Btw, wonder why there is only one knob (another one is missing)?
I removed the tone pot and moved the volume over out the way.
This song was me in 2006/2007
Havent made it through all your videos yet but hope you have winger-seventeen or slaughter-up all night covered
....not yet. :P
And the boy wonder does it again
Omg
You sound great!!! How do you record your guitar with the backtrack. Your mix is awesome. I hate the way I do it. I try to line up my guitar audio with the MP3 backtrack in Camtasia. I want to record all of it at once.
I record my guitar onto Logic, where the song is too. I record the video separately, but at the same time and then sync them together.
great skills man, did u make that guitar yourself?
Cheers! No, it's just a Jackson Dinky but I took out the tone pot and moved the volume out of the way.
Is there a tab for this song cuz I just want to play it hearing you play it so well jeez man great job 🤘👍
Thanks! Sorry I don't have any to hand that I can link as I learn by ear but I offer a custom tab notation service at bwmguitarlessons@gmail.com
@@bwm5150 ok good to know thank you.
You ever tried Rattlesnake Shake? Awesome cover as usual.
I haven't but I may give it a go once I do a few more of my favourites.
bwm5150 Yaaaaay! ☺
Rattlesnake Shake....\m/ \m/
What is your bridge pickup?
Stock Duncan Design pickup. Not sure of the model.
What amp are you using? Sounds killer
Cheers. I use a Boss Me50 into a Palmer Pdi-09.
how do you learn songs in the guitar?
I use my ear.
@@bwm5150 oh same btw, but how do you "hear" or know the chord shape used to make a certain sound? Is there theory involved?
You can't know for sure unless you see the person who originally played it but over time you get experience on what shapes work best and where to play them.
@@bwm5150 thanks man, using my ear for 5 months now, hope I get better!
Ok.
Nailed it bro!
What guitar is that?
Jackson DK2 Dinky
How about some Scorpions!
Maybe someday soon...
too much what they did
???
@@bwm5150 Sorry, I was kind of hangover loll I was impress by what they did with the guitare... sometime hear the song is a thing and see the way it's been play it'a naother diferent thing. Be proud of your work, Thanks for sharing !!!
Its kinda fake to me specially the solo part...
Haha, if you compare the original to this, you should hear the difference with my guitar added.
