Marc Martel - Bad (U2 Cover)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 кві 2022
- I was quite late to the U2 game, as seems to be the trend in my history with the world’s greatest rock bands. It was the late nineties before I dove headlong into The Joshua Tree, the album by which I measure every other U2 album. Soon after that, they released All That You Can’t Leave Behind, forever sealing the deal for me as a U2 fanboy. Right around that time, my friend Jason Germain and I were forming a band of our own in Caronport, Saskatchewan, to take a bunch of songs we’d written and recorded, on the road. We really wanted to be a five-piece, so that someone could be the electric guitar expert, as neither Jason or I were great at it. Before we thought better of the idea, ultimately agreeing four members was plenty, I vividly remember auditioning one steely-eyed guitarist from our college, and being completely enamored with his ability to reproduce The Edge’s angelic sounds with his array of effects pedals. We were setting up for rehearsal when he started playing the riff from “Bad,” and I thought, “Wow, that’s amazing! This is our guy!” Turns out, he had other plans for his life than riding a fifteen-passenger into the perilous unknown with four other barely-adults. Either way, this one goes out to Ben Davidson, wherever you are. Hope you’re doing well, man.
That’s my kick-ass nephew right there people.
Always good.
Your nephew is awesome. Please let him know that for us!
Bono: I didn't know Freddie sang our song.
Marc: Nope it's me
Marc + Acoustic guitar + Amplifier delay effect equals U2's orginal.
Well....I'm not sleeping myself now....gotta listen to this at least 25 more times.....
How much I would like your voice even for just one day. I'd sing until I passed out.
This guy can sing the telephone book!!!
People are holding this guy back to be famous. Easy the best voice we heard in a very long time and should have been a legend allready
His star is rising steadily and organically. People learn about Marc. Help spread the word! Cheers, mate!
@@papabearM3he is rising way to slow its been more then 10 years. He should be a top 40 king allready. People are deaf. I put Marc in the List of Elvis Prince epic catagory. The once in a live time epic people
@@spidermonkeynr1 it is not a good time for music, or talent, for that matter. Somehow the "industry" just creates "hits" with autotuned no talents and machine generated forgettable tunes and lyics. Marc just doesn't sell out. He does what HE enjoys. No apologies. No regrets.
@@ToddandRaquiForrest
It has nothing to do with the “not a good time for music,” Todd. It is ALWAYS a good time for music. The problem IMO is that Marc refuses to hire a proper PR agent. He needs to be on every page of every magazine. He has got everything going for him, but his time is ticking. He needs to hire a PR firm pronto!!!!
Freddie Mercury singing U2. Great!!! Your voice is a king of magic
He sounds so much like Bono, but better.
@@koljarzg inded!
@@koljarzg Bono at that time was incredibly powerfull. Listen to BAD at live 8 or 1986-06-15 - East Rutherford.
Totaly agree, magic and amazing ! A gift this man ❤
How Freddie would sing U2 😉
Absolutely amazing job, Marc ! Such a pleasure listening you
This song will forever bring back that image of U2 on the Live-Aid Stage that 90-something hot July afternoon. As usual, Marc kills. :)
I close my eyes, and I hear Freddie singing Bad... Oh my god
Nothing less than awesome!
Yet some notes sound as if Freddie is singing U2😉
Rick Flare's favorite U2 song! lol....great job as always man...better than Bono for sure...Godspeed!
Jeezuz Christ who the heck are you????? My previous offer of marriage still stands!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We wish! He's smitten with a beautiful lady already.
Get in line, lady! 😃
@@papabearM3 That too! 😅
holy shit!!!!!! you sound exactly like Bono. nicely done, my favorite U2 song.
Freddie! Are you again with us? WOW THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
💙💙💙 "Stay" (Faraway, so close!) 💙💙💙
tears in my eyes
Amazing !
Please...
Do more U2 covers !!!
There are no words...this is perfectly expressed
Very underrated U2 song. Brilliantly covered as always by Mr Martel
Totally not underrated in the slightest. In fact it’s highly rated.
There's no way to be in U2 concert and not cry to this song! Great cover btw
Marc this is a gift! So this is what Bad sung by Freddie would've sounded like. Wow!
Im going to his concert on saturday im so exited
Iceland has been waiting for him!
How did u know about him in iceland??? That exactly where im going on saturday😂😂😂
@@bassiboiii761 it's on his tour schedule! 👍
@@ThatllShowEm silly me😂
Did you see him when he was there with Queen Extravaganza in 2015? :)
Brrrrrrrraaaaaaaavvvvvvoooooo!
Omg, so much talent in one person.
Thank you for covering one of my favorites from U2. 😊
Hi Marc good song good singing
Gizzzz, the control of voice… amazing
I hope you feel as much joy in doing that as we all do in listening to it. But of course, for it to be like this, you must ...
Great song! Regards from Mexico
Bono would freak out at that
This is incredible. Marc is just simply amazing with every song he sings. SERIOUSLY TALENTED
nice
There should be a 1,000,000 likes button at once here on youtube.
The next "every breaking wave" I hit the 100,000,000 likes button.
Great great great great
OOoooh! Awesome!
Holy shit, Marc! I knew you could nail Queen perfectly. Now you've meshed The Edge and Bono into one human embodiment. Unbelievable. What can Marc not do? This is great because you can scale your act from street busker to leading a full fledged stadium performance.
Or perform a stripped down version of Queen to an audience of 10,000?
Man you`re good!
I was following you from facebook and then on youtube it is a great honor to listen to you every day
imagine at Rock&Rio in Brazil, representing various phenomena like him.
Once again, listened to one awesome Marc Martel cover……….and twenty videos later, I’m still listening.
It’s always the case for me! LOL
Lol I have a huge playlist of his covers and original music. (And another with his Christmas music!)
best cover version ever!!!
Blessings from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan
Wow Marc the voice you have is a god's gift, Sound like Freddie and with this U2 song my song its great, my hart is crying so good performens. A great verry great singer and great guitar and piano player a verry gifted men you are Marc. Greetings from a great fan from Holland.
Fabulous! Brought me right back to my first time listening to The Joshua Tree.
How does one man have so much talent? What a gift!
You're incredible
🙏
WOW! Your voice is perfect for both Queen ANDU2 songs! Kind of sounds like Bono and Freddie’s voice blended together!
Magnificent.
Incredible.
Amazing musician
Oh my god i love you marc!
Soooooooo awesome!! I dream of seeing Marc Martel live one day soon! ❤️
Love it! I’ll be seeing Mark again for the Ultimate Queen Celebration in NJ on July 23! Can’t wait! Saw him last yr and wow just wow what an excellent show!! Actually met him after the show and got his autograph. Super nice guy! 😘❤️
Maybe with Ultimate Queen Celebration? I don't know if the Queen Extravaganza is touring in the USA this year.
@@ThatllShowEm I stand corrected thanks!
@@cindygipple5571 Whew! There has been some confusion with which band Marc is touring with. Queen Extravaganza was touring in Europe, and some of the dates overlap with what's on his website... And not with the same band, or in the same city. I can't imagine how it would feel to go to a show only to figure out it was a different Queen tribute band.
I’m seeing him live next week on May 7th at Lynn Massachusetts
@@ThatllShowEm your right I agree and corrected my comment. I do thank you though for catching that! 😘
Well done Marc .. we’ll done
One of my favourite U2 songs from back in the 80's....... great choice to sing and great job Marc.
that's one hack of a performance lad, absolutely nailed it.
Unbelievable good! You got a magic voice! King!
One of U2s songs that I love and you did it great. Would love to hear more and maybe INXS.
Marc is so amazing!
Each cover recordered shows to us how the Freddie's voice matches with all type of songs LOL.
Jesus Christ, this is magic. U2 is my favorite band. You did great Marc. Amazing 👏
👏🏼👏🏼 standing ovation 👏🏼👏🏼
Absolutely crushed it!

I lived a long life to listen Freddie Mercury covering Bono. Thank you for that. Congratz.
My Favourite Band 🙌 more U2 please 😃
Amazing version, Marc. It will always remind me of Live Aid. Although I was a huge U2 fan already, that was the day the rest of the world realized they were the greatest active band in the world. 🏳

Just perfect, in every song you put on your voice is amazing
So much talent in one body. Truly a blessing to have you with us.
