Guns N' Roses - Estranged | Vkgoeswild piano cover

[@TheTequilamonster74]

I remember an interview with Slash where he stated how much he always worried about this song live because of all the different parts and changes. He mentioned it was the most challenging song he had to play live. I give him props for admitting that and it is a real challenge. Great job.

[@blackz06]

I agree with him. And you!

[@kkeithf]

There's actually a very famous rant by Axl bitching about how band members didn't want to play certain songs. Wonder is this is related

[@rixxortiz8744]

@@kkeithf yes, most of the band didnt even want to record both november rain and estranged, so those are basically Axl's projects

[@kkeithf]

@@rixxortiz8744 why is the band always mad at the lead guy the always comes up with their best stuff, it's like a bad meme

[@alexandrosandriopoulos9587]

Hes right. Live versions are so much worse than the original one

[@naturalbornkiller361]

I hear Axl's vocals, slash guitar, izzy's rhythm guitar, Duff's bass, Reeds' piano and Matt's drums, in one musical instrument. Amazing.

[@vkgoeswildofficial]

Thank you

[@iWyzk]

You mean Gilby’s rhythm, at the time that this song was made Izzy had already left GnR.

[@eyedeerman38]

​@@vkgoeswildofficial I love doing my Axl impression to this!

[@rooh5825]

I will likely be in the minority to say this but this is Guns N Roses best song in terms of the epitome of musical achievement for the band. The fact that somebody took one of their lesser-known songs, and likely one of them more difficult songs to play on the piano, and did it, it's amazing

[@Unclejunior152]

My favorite GnR song. You're not alone.

[@dr.adilshroff170]

Best best song !!

[@pedrohenriqueelias9430]

I completely agree

Definitely their best and most under rated song, shame its not as well known as it deserves to be

oh Axl is a genius. I love his ballads. This is just as good as anything Freddie Mercury or Elton John wrote. Estranged is a masterpiece.

She is playing the vocal melodies and the guitar melodies. Homegirl is sick. I think ths beyond what Axl does on the record. Nice work.

[@danielapretodasilva950]

Just went to tears... this girls plays from the heart....

[@alphacause]

Yes, this song and this excellent cover are grossly underrated! I remember back in 1994, when I first heard this song on my "Use Your Illusion II" album, I was struck by how much emotional and melodic range was in this song. It is by far, my favorite song from Guns N' Roses, but much to my chagrin, it never got any airplay. It just simply wasn't commercially viable. It was too lengthy to cater to the short attention spans of radio music audiences. This song and this cover deserve more praise.

[@samdugdale5041]

thank you for your beautiful music. I have PTSD and was given the idea of listening to music with no words but I still like my music. I can't tell you how great it is to be able to use your music as therapy when I am having a hard day with flashbacks. You are amazing and have great talent. it helps me THANK YOU!

[@insipid_rhyme350]

Hope you're doing well ❤

[@LoLo-fj8iu]

Wow Axl Rose is such an amazing pianist I never thought anyone could play this song as good as him .this is one of the greatest works of art and you didn't even get one note wrong, wow I wish I could play like you.

[@olil9923]

Lo Lo usually it's Dizzy Reed who plays it

[@yu-joonan9762]

yes but axl composed it.

There are guitar bends all over the place in that song - a very worthy effort from a piano player!

When you're talkin' to yourself And nobody's home You can fool yourself You came in this world alone (Alone) So nobody ever told you baby How it was gonna be So what'll happen to you baby Guess we'll have to wait and see One, two Old at heart but I'm only twenty eight And I'm much too young To let love break my heart Young at heart but it's getting much too late To find ourselves so far apart I don't know how you're s'posed to find me lately An what more could you ask from me How could you say that I never needed you When you took everything Said you took everything from me Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait When no one I know can seem to help me now Old at heart but I musn't hesitate If I'm to find my own way out Still talkin' to myself And nobody's home (Alone) So nobody ever told us baby How it was gonna be So what'll happen to us baby Guess we'll have to wait and see When I find out all the reasons Maybe I'll find another way Find another day With all the changing seasons of my life Maybe I'll get it right next time An now that you've been broken down Got your head out of the clouds You're back down on the ground And you don't talk so loud An you don't walk so proud Any more, and what for Well I jumped into the river Too many times to make it home I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone If it doesn't show give it time To read between the lines 'Cause I see the storm getting closer And the waves they get so high Seems everything we've ever known's here Why must it drift away and die I'll never find anyone to replace you Guess I'll have to make it through, this time - oh this time Without you I knew the storm was getting closer And all my friends said I was high But everything we've ever known's here I never wanted it to die

[@MarkRoskoGuitar]

i've listened to this before and it still amazes me how sometimes your left hand seems to just help the right hand out seemlessly! as if you could play this song upside down and back to front all at once.

[@rubenTR309]

Amazing to think that somebody (probably Axl) actually sat down and composed this.

[@davidmcgrew3837]

Ruben Williams he really is a musical genius..... he gets known for his singing but his piano playing is second to none....KZbin has a use your illusion outtake of him just playing the keys...he's solid

[@danielapretodasilva950]

David Mcgrew where in KZbin? How can I find this?

[@nialldoherty9720]

Axl wrote this and November rain by himself on piano He's piano playing is pretty damn good too

[@tony.g20]

@@nialldoherty9720 - this is not correct. November Rain he did write, originally clocking in on piano at over 25 minutes pre -1985. Estranged was very different. Axl spent many years writing the lyrics to the song, as the real story between him and Erin played out. The melody itself was comprised of 2 completely unrelated events. The first was a dream that Axl had in which one of those old rag-time much faster carnival barker show type show tunes, (think Groucho Marks on stage with a piano player) was playing in his head, so imagine a triple speed version of Estranged, but an entirely different melody. At some point Axl expressed and perhaps played his idea to Slash. The melody in this case, and unlike November Rain, was written by Slash during the famous 2 week summer sessions in Chicago that Axl was a no-show for. Mostly because of the excessive drug use within the band. In any case as confirmed by Slash in his book, the melody came to him quickly, and it was tracked and sent to Axl for approval. Because Axl wanted this song to be special, and because he was blown away with Slashs melody he calls it out within the UYI2 liner notes under the song.....'Slash..thank you for the killer guitar melodies'. There would obviously be no need to Thank him if Axl had written it.." Just wanted to clarify...

[@nachocheez9690]

Axl wrote and played this on Estranged

[@marianoramirezgisbert6099]

I think this is my favorite arrangement of the whole channel. It excels by far the original piece in my opinion, doesn't sound at all like a cover but as an original piece. Bravo!!!

[@vkgoeswildofficial]

Thank you very much

[@thomasjohnson1816]

You show this music from a different angle , it's brilliant

[@jtdurden]

Brilliant. A hell of a lot of effort went into that. And it was worth it. Well done.

[@LoomisPowderdogs]

maybe it's just me, but --- Kurt Cobain said he hated guns n roses because they could not make any good music, he said that specifically, that and other things. but here is the thing. this and november rain have been 2 of my favorite songs since 1992, i still remember the party I was at when I first heard Estranged, in 1992. I had just started playing piano, and was trying hard to learn. Not many songs are in your current playlist that were also in a mixed tape as a punk 19 year old. as far as Nirvana goes, I just never got it, I admit they are good, i dont understand it, but their range was nowhere near this

[@deepcreep98]

I recently saw an interview with Kurt Cobain and he admitted that he actually thought GNR did some really good things. Also, he said he had toyed with the idea of touring with them, mainly because he enjoyed irony. Take it for what it's worth. Peace.

[@rooh5825]

Nirvana SUCKS compared to guns n roses. Sorry, it is true. The only thing Nirvana had going for it we're Cobain's ability to write lyrics, and the drummer. Guitar and vocals, terrible. Yeah I said it, and I'll state it again, it is true, I get so sick and tired of the ignorant hipster crowd crowing about Nirvana all the time. Nirvana didn't suck, but they weren't nearly the band that so many people make them out to be. Guns and Roses is Far and Away a better band

[@adrianalmadatalamante395]

Amazing song selections, it's amazing how you can totally transform a song into a beautiful piano cover, the emotions the piano gives to the person hearing it are the best thing, i can't even imagine what you feel playing those songs. That's what a real musician does with its instrument. I'm sorry i didn't hear you before.

[@deviIbird]

Generally, I find that I don't like piano covers of entire songs that have piano (what I mean is, the piano cover attempting to cover all instruments + vocals). But your work... there's not one video that hasn't left me speechless. Watching you play, it's obvious that your amazing talent not only comes from practice and dedication, but from natural talent. Needless to say, AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESOME!!!

[@grequl]

[@marcusstarman1849]

I'm given to understand that Axl thinks the lyrics at the end of that song are the best he's written. And I'm inclined to agree.

[@ThomasFullery]

I actually found this video by searching for a piano cover of Coma. I didn't find it, but I wasn't disappointed. @VKgoeswild could definitely nail that, if anyone could!
