Quick story: many years ago, I was selling cardboard boxes to companies and called on a construction company in South London called Broads...the owner, a Mr William Broad, had pictures of Billy Idol all over his office and a gold disc on the wall. "Crikey, you must really like Billy Idol" I said .. "I should do," replied Mr Broad, "He's my son!!" ☺️ Great job guys, as usual...
To be fair this is a lot more natural for me 😂 I do love the challenge of playing/singing different styles, pulling different sounds etc. It's what got me into it back in the HSCC days! I learn so much from doing these vids :) Anyhoo, glad you dug it - have a great one 🤘😎
Over 50k in a week! That's a record for me lead singing on one of these vids. Thanks for tuning in everybody :) I wonder what Darren's got for us tomorrow?
Qué temazo muchachos!!!! @camblokland great power in your voice! This was an excelent performance. I saw Mario singing! Great to see everybody enjoying
Okay, after watching many of your videos, I just have to say this. I feel the bassist deserves a special shoutout. I'm sorry I don't know his name, but I've seen him in multiple videos. He's a large, middle-aged guy just like me, and he's always in the background, never front and center. But sir, I just want you to know that you are noticed, and you are doing an incredible job. My man is just always back there rocking that bass. I thank you sir.
@@chisel83 Yeah he's one of South Australia's most prized possessions. He's played all over the world with people you wouldn't even believe... but nowadays he lives a simple life gigging around in Adelaide. All of us "younger" musos look up to him a lot.
@@chisel83 Thank you for that information. I appreciate it very much. I love how you said, "Quiet, unassuming but he's super man on the bass." That sums it up perfectly. Happy Easter!
Very kind of you to say 😊 Hopefully we get there eventually! Especially for Darren's sake - he pours so much time and passion into these vids as I'm sure you can tell! Take care 🤘
@@camblokland I always thought the intro was played on two separate guitars. But I watched the original and it is on one guitar. You really went the extra mile to replicate that, not to mention the awesome guitar solo and stellar lead vocal.
I'd hate to do this to Hindley Street and sing it live as I love them so much. I've Been to see them live and everything, But please skip to 16:40 on the following link and please compare with your own judgment... ua-cam.com/video/r4U4b1CJAPg/v-deo.htmlsi=7ri1ZC3sYcc9JX6k
Cam Blokland!!! Either your vocal OR your guitar prowess would have been an A+ on its own, but to do both to such an exceptional level makes you dux of this week's Singit Live masterclass. Am now rummaging around in the list of classic songs I have maintained the last few years, adding to as I hear/remember them to put a 'C' next to ones you would slay! Each instrument gets a spotlight in this song: Darren's keyboard riff (which sounds simple, but is the equivalent of a tongue twister for the fingers); the rhythm guitar riff, the pulse of the track (love the vibe you bring, Crafty, can't wait to see you with Singit on a bigger stage); those DRUMS from Mars, especially that primordial boom-fest in the breakdown; Damien's bass is the shoulders on which the song sits - a rock song is nothing without the solid foundation of its bass line; recorded in a 30 minute window, meticulous planning, organisation, art direction, technical know-how and post production genius makes that possible.
How good were songs written then? Rebel Yell, "just another song" on the charts in the 80s, all those tracks that have since become the treasure trove of gems from the second half of the 20th century...listen to each of the elements, there is so much to the composition and dynamics of this song.
You're definitely going to win on the word count this week, Sharon. Excellent review, very true about the 80's songs, they are in a different class to tracks of this era. Championship point to you! 🎾
Had to listen to that five or six times before commenting. Tremendous energy...Wow! Cam is really in rare form on this, thought I was listening to Billy Idol. And Mario drives the whole thing along like a steam locomotive, with Damien pouring on the coal. One of your best, Darren.
Thanks so much Sergio! Damo and Mario are a mighty rhythm section for sure 🤘 And Darren and Crafty are all right too 😝 Hmm now I'm wondering... if Mario is the loco and Damo's pouring on the coals... then Darren is the maintenance guy making sure the train runs properly and looks good... Crafty is the usher welcoming everyone on board... and I'm the horn/whistle screaming at everyone as we roll along 😂 ooft... this comment has gone "off the rails", have a great one mate! 🤘
Cam is about as polar opposite of Billy Idol as black and white. But once he hits that first guitar chord, he’s channeled 1984 and Billy Idol all over again!!! What a great cover both vocally and instrumentally!!! Plus, I think I had as much fun listening to it as you guys did recording it. Well done Sing It Live💯❤️👏👏
Yeah I wasn't ready to pull out the clippers and the peroxide 😂 I was born at the tail end of the '80s, but I was all about 80s music in my teens - still my favourite era. Been nagging Darren to let me do this one 😉 glad you dug it, have a great weekend!!!
@@MoPoppins haha yeah about bloody time! 😂 No no... there are so many great tracks in the pipeline so he just has to wait for the right time. I am very glad that time was now :) And now... I have the difficult tast of trying to choose a "cooler" track for next time 🤔 Thank you for the kind words 😊 Take care 🤘
@@camblokland Not sure what you mean by “cooler” track, but I bet you could do a killer rendition of Simple Minds’ Don’t You Forget About Me, or Bryan Adams’ Run To You. Or how about Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game - definitely cool.
Darren, good to have you and some of the "old" crew from HSCC back on the tubes playing great music once again. Also nice to hear the "newer" members of the group too!
Yesss! Steve Stevens and Billy Will Be Proud :-) Very Well Done Guys. One Of My Favorite 80s Rock Songs! Great Guitars And Your Vocals Are Bad Als Too!
Damn.!!! This was outstanding!!. What vocals!!!. I was dancing with my headphones on and I'm almost 70. I loved it!!!. The little drum solo was great. All of you just rocked the hell out of this cover!!
That intro is a siren call to anyone who was a teenager and listened to rock music in the 80s. I keep coming back to listen to this over and over again, pumping my fist in time with the "More, More, More"! Well done!
Exxxccceeelleennnttt!!!! Good job Guys!! Good thing I'm the only one in the house right now cause I'm standing here dancing in front of the computer :-)

His voice... am speechless, Who´s that guy
Cam Blokland (TheSuperjesus, Southern Empire and more....)
That’s Billy’s brother
Thanks Cam for scratching that itch
Nailed it! Damn. P.S. Thanks for a little drum cam. Always nice.
Wow, his voice is perfect for this song.
Superb guys. You had a 75-year-old Brit jumping about like a big nostalgic kid!
Aww I miss the UK!!! Good on you Doc - keep on "jumping about" your weekend 😂🤘
OMG !!!! Billy Idol HAS to listen to this! He will be PROUD of you guys! AMAZING !!!!!
I would love that 😎 thanks Marcelo, glad you dug it! ❤🤘
Cam can go seamlessly from singing Andrea Bocelli to Billy Idol, with a Steve Stevens guitar solo thrown in there to boot. He’s a man of many talents!
To be fair this is a lot more natural for me 😂 I do love the challenge of playing/singing different styles, pulling different sounds etc. It's what got me into it back in the HSCC days! I learn so much from doing these vids :) Anyhoo, glad you dug it - have a great one 🤘😎
He completely killed it ,I thoroughly believe what was previously said he can go from Bocelli to idol Great job
@@camblokland still think your Bob Seeger is best
he certainly is!!!
What about the Australian human metronome Mario Marino ? Precise , even strokes with minimal waste of movement , producing an optimal sound.
That’s exactly how an authentic ROCKBAND should sound like
Well
Except that you can play EVERYTHING this fine
SLAYED THAT 💩!!!
Love this song,i have the original on casette.Cant believe how acurate you are tio the original
Over 50k in a week! That's a record for me lead singing on one of these vids. Thanks for tuning in everybody :) I wonder what Darren's got for us tomorrow?
Just listening again for about the 30th time.
Fantastic voice Mr Cam and great song choice - I bet you could do some Cult songs also - thanks for the video
@@TR-vr5pz Like to hear them do Fire Woman.
you guys killed this!!! and your vocals were spot on...dare I say every bit as good as the original
outstanding job.
Listen to this song with good(!) headphones !!!
Qué temazo muchachos!!!! @camblokland great power in your voice! This was an excelent performance. I saw Mario singing! Great to see everybody enjoying
Not sure how you keep pumping out this quality.
The power of friendship... oh and having a really good producer helps 😂 thanks mate! ❤️🤘
I got three words...
Un.
F***ing.
REAL!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘
Thank you so much!!! ❤🤘 Glad you dug it 😎

His name is Damien Steel Scott or as I call him the man of steel, but he more like Clark kent. Quiet, unassuming but he’s super man on the bass 👍

@@camblokland May I ask who some of those people were that he toured and played with? That sounds incredibly interesting. Thank you.
@@camblokland yeah I’ve seen Damo a few times over the years in local Adelaide traps. How you enjoying the Super Jesus gig?
No stop! No stop!No stop!
You guys should have millions of subscribers.

Agreed
A rebel yell from Adelaide to the world!!! SINGIT IDOL!!!
To duplicate what Steve Stephens, one of the best guitarists ever, did, man, and sing along too! You do rock, Cam! !
Like the man once said....."I Know It's Only Rock & Roll....BUT I LIKE IT!!!!"
Darren is the reason Singit Live will go places, you can feel and see Darren passion for music.
He's a wizard 🧙♂️
@@camblokland literally :D
3:08 Wink at the back! 😉
😂
Only so many humans on earth can play that intro, Cam! 🙌
Great work fellas ❤️
Yeah that was unexpectedly difficult 😂
@@camblokland
I always thought the intro was played on two separate guitars.
But I watched the original and it is on one guitar. You really went the extra mile to replicate that, not to mention the awesome guitar solo and stellar lead vocal.
The guitar player on the left is so into this song he wants to jump up and down but there’s no room in there. Awesome.
Bugger for a minute I thought thats was Ron Jermery on the drums :)
Wonder how he plays double bass with only one pedal 😊
Yup. Kicked A again. Exactly what I expected when I clicked the link.
If theres a better Cover of this track - I have yet to hear it. Just Brill.....

Great sounding guitars. So close to the original!
Thanks Dan! Check out Crafty's YT channel, he talks about the Helix patches we used for this song :) Digital amps/fx have come a looooong way.
Noice.....ripped it a new one!! God I love a huge power chord. 😋

I think everyone of a certain age (ie: those who rocked out to this song when it was released) have a rug very much like that one!
Unreal guys...
That song requires an "attitude" Cam and you nailed it, enjoyed it all around SIL.
Cam is an Oz national treasure and must be protected at all costs.
