hello

[@IamY00t]

Did not expect that voice.

[@AlecSullivan]

Hopefully it was a pleasant surprise! 😄

[@LoudSoundDisturbance]

@@AlecSullivanobviously dude u sounded unreal!!

[@glencarson2635]

Holy shit... I've never seen anything like this before.

[@AlecSullivan]

Hopefully that’s a good thing 😄 Thanks for the comment! 🤘

[@McCauley824]

I genuinely don't know how this doesn't have more views. Man what a voice right here. Nails every nuance to this song. Pitch control is so damn impressive too. And lets be honest, the great hair really helps!

[@AlecSullivan]

The hair likes to steal the show sometimes 😄 Thank you so much for your comment! I’m glad you liked it so much and let me know. Comments like this keep me going, so thanks 🤘 I’m hoping for more views too! Feel free to share the video with friends and check out my others if you’re into it. Anything helps, and I appreciate it all!

[@gypsytaechatelaine5145]

So, I'm trying to gather my composure here. Goodness! I'm actually bedbound, but this almost brought me out of it. Your exhillerating energy and amazing voice just grabbed at my whole being. Fascinating cover...you took this to another level and made it yours!!! 🎆

[@AlecSullivan]

That’s exactly what I’m hoping to do for people! Any amount of positive energy I can spread is a huge success for me. So happy you got something from it 🙌

[@grantchang81976]

as a male your high scream is dynamic. i wouldn't have thought singing the lower octave on the high notes.

[@AlecSullivan]

I’m stoked you like it!

[@typicalvitamed6823]

Dammn what a voice !

[@AlecSullivan]

Hey thanks! 😃🤘

[@JimRyan-zn6qk]

Hey man, please forgive me. This is my first comment in 4 years since my stroke so I can't see except for peripheral. So I just want to say that you have a great voice and I played guitar for 35 years professionally in cover bands all over California. Different regions out there and at first after this truck I couldn't play but now I can and I wish I had someone in my city like you because I play all the rock and music from that era. And all the music that I like as a guitar player has either Robert plant or hard or Ronnie James Dio or somebody like that singing. So it's hard to find people to play that music. But I play it about 6 to 8 hours a day. It's the passion of my life and I was great to hear you. I heard you play the first song on a video I watched and I watched your voice come into key and you're pitch improved into the second one and so I know that you have a great quality voice and a great tone and you can use your voice so you know. Kudos to you man. Keep pursuing it. I know it's inspired me. I'm also mostly blind LOL but nothing worse than a blind guy making videos. I've been making videos a little bit on my channel lol. I hope this all makes sense cuz I can't really proof for you too. Well have a good one man

[@AlecSullivan]

Well thanks so much, man! Sorry to hear about your challenges but I’m glad you’re still pursuing what you want to do. Keep it up 🤘

[@swordandsheild1]

Dude FUCK yes. I was thinking of trying this at karaoke in the original key thinking no one had maybe really done it but here you are fucking killing it in basically the same exact style I wanted to go for! Great great stuff man it's a crime you didn't get more traction on this ballsy and powerful cover.

[@swordandsheild1]

Also instant sub as soon as I heard that first verse. AND YOU HIT THE DRUMS FOR A SEC OKAY I SEE YOU.

[@swordandsheild1]

@@AlecSullivan thanks man! I'll be practicing, thanks for laying some groundwork for me to work from in turning this into a style that suits our voices, and something a little more Chris Cornell-esque. Really love that touch!

I am so impressed! My band mates want me to give this one a go & I was feeling very intimidated by this song. I don't typically sing power songs in this range.

Thanks, Elyse! I appreciate the comment. You should definitely belt this one out for your band!

[@ZenTheMusician]

Thank you so much for singing in the original key. God bless you for not being a fake. I also can hit the notes. The fakes piss me off.

Man, what vocal technique have you studied to sing so good as you do? I’ve always wanted to take clases but I never did.. 😔

[@AlecSullivan]

Hey thanks! I appreciate you asking. I’m actually self taught and never studied any specific techniques, I’ve just been singing for most of my life and gotten very comfortable with controlling my voice. You can do it too! It just takes consistency and time. Classes or a vocal coach would probably be the best route in order to speed up the process and do it safely though! 😃
