Rocketman // Iron Horse

[@justinboydlong8542]

I apologize for messing with your video analytics. I've probably watched this video 10,000 times over the last 9 years. I love it just as much in 2023 as I did in 2014. This is probably one of the best pieces of art ever created!

[@FatherTime89]

I can't say this about a lot of video but the more I watch this the more I like it.

[@christianb.4726]

Yes, -Sir !!

[@piotrminor7054]

me too! :))

[@davewilson4929]

This is my first time hearing this. They did a phenomenal job!

[@austenj4539]

I have to add to 'Watch List' for this faultless and joyful Rocketman rendition over the years. This cover is simply ... out of this world and a giant leap for Rocketmankind!

[@boavista64]

My brother and I love bluegrass also love the soggy bottom boys in the George Clooney movie Oh brother where are you?

[@boavista64]

Can't stop listening to Rocket Man I'm addicted to listening to this song. Iron horse rule definitely better than original sorry Elton.

[@terrancemaddox9062]

This is off the chain. Beautiful harmony

[@NathanCarterVids]

Some truly killer harmonies. Seriously talented guys.

[@dustywelchcraneman6614]

That's what I like about this... Like bluegrass has that sound you expect from GOOD grass... They didn't just play and sing they picked and sang a bluegrass song, nice transition licks and nice rolling to match it all up. Harmony, good spread. Perfect all the way around.

[@Burn269]

Bluegrass musicians are the best musicians. They can play Everything

[@mikelldaley9078]

AMEN !

[@jaylebeau7783]

"SERIOUSLY!"

[@bobleiser72]

yo....the banjo is the most underrated instrument.ever....the speed and rhythm in which they play.....lit!

[@randomtandem6427]

Love this take on a classic Elton masterpiece... never gets old

[@emmasphere7654]

Four middle aged men putting other bands to shame by sheer talent. This is how it's done. Brilliant and always makes me sing along.

[@777rueang7]

I absolutely love this version.

[@dinorockwell7670]

Ive always loved this song, but this cover is absolutely the best!!!

[@KodenameKrusty]

I love Bluegrass and I love Elton John. This is like when chocolate ran into Peanut Butter and we all got Reeses.

[@bryceplayz5312]

KodenameKrusty I know right they are freakin phenomenal

[@HotFish]

Peak simile game by the way; that was very good

[@hermes9220]

They go to my church he preaches

[@jamesfreeman2980]

KodenameKrusty if you ran into Elton John you wouldn't get peanut butter and chocolate, but you could get your fudge packed

[@bmadison5367]

@@hermes9220 If he has Bible teachings up on youtube please give me the like....I am sure he gives a good sermon if he puts that level of effort into playing that well.

[@leotsujimoto5926]

This is one of the best covers to any song I’ve ever heard. In fact, I prefer it over the original, which I am also very fond of. I do not often listen to music, nor do I have a propensity to listen to this genre, but on the occasion that I choose to listen to something, I am usually paying special attention to signs of musical and artistic mastery, to which I often feel as though musical pieces may have been better if certain aspects were modified in some way. This is a top-tier musical performance, which I would say is as close to perfect as I’ve ever heard before. I simply had no interest in critique. It’s wonderful. I wept @1:59 from the blend of harmonics and instrumentation. Credit to the artist and sound mixer. An outstanding performance.

[@austenj4539]

Yep, I agree. This cover is a giant leap for Rocketmankind! I love it.

[@rogerd9150]

I agree. The mastery of these instrumentals and vocals are very moving to the soul. Amazing how talented these folks are.

[@mglsite]

A true bluegrass band.... not a smile among them, fantastic.

[@Giganfan2k1]

Got that high lonesome sound.

[@freighthauler7642]

Do you know why bluegrass musicians don't smile while they play???............. Because they take their music VERY SERIOUSLY!!!! ( That's an old Bill Monroe joke )

[@AndersStenmalm]

Truth at it's best !

[@BoofsBoofington]

Pin this lmao

[@mildredsrecipes3543]

Perfect takeoff, perfect landing. Truly inspiring. Thanks men.

[@lilnuggychrom4820]

I was raised in Bluegrass a genre my daddy loved and led me to love. He played every string instrument there was and gave me my love for music. And I love these guys. Makes my heart smile and brings back wonderful amazing memories.

[@kev1669]

Funny, it seems their focus is on Metallica covers yet I think this is their best song. Great job fellas. ( not saying the Metallica covers are bad, this one just blows them away) Well done!

[@raymondo162]

TOTALLY totally agree YumFuz, and it would be even better if they'd just bring the bass solo up a little louder.........smidgeon

[@BarCodetheband]

kev Agreed.

[@davidgriffiths5897]

Idk if it beats elton...

[@AlbertaWildman]

Agreed. This is definitely their best cover.

[@pbeam4781]

The absolute best version hands down

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

I’ve listened to this multiple times and just can’t get enough! This is an excellent bluegrass version of a classic. Thanks you.

[@Westyrulz]

Yes sir ree

[@mikelldaley9078]

YES YES YES AMEN

[@ThePetersens]

This just doesn't get old.

[@simopasanen]

This just stays awesome.

[@aachen800]

The Petersens don't get old either.

[@oracleofottawa]

The vocals and harmony are just riveting...

[@Pickernik]

Awesome, funny, sad, well sung GREAT song.

[@amylane6953]

Me and my husband have been rocking our 9 month old to sleep to this song every night the last couple weeks. It’s got a great rocking beat. Great cover

[@TheBrunohusker]

Pretty old video now, but I love this. Plus, it really makes you think about how sure, an astronaut is a prestigious job but at the end of the day, they are just like us in that they miss their home, and have to fix stuff and keep boring records but in space.

[@annem4491]

Bluegrass Fusion, Excellent!

[@mikeholmes4348]

Just incredible, better than the original well done guys you have lifted a dull UK Monday.

[@simon2343]

Not just playing the song. But making it brand new . Sweet guys

[@StanleyRodgers]

My god, the vocals on this version are outstanding! The harmonies couldn't possibly be any tighter. Amazing!

[@racketman2u]

How could we not like such musicianship? bravo.

[@jasward3826]

this is unbelievably good , fantastic voices as well as the playing

[@TheOfficialNeumann]

This is excellent musicianship, you can tell they've been playing together for a long time.

[@evelynfischer7819]

That banjo is amazing! Thank you.

[@terrygreennway9655]

Fantastic, old Vance does pretty 😊.

[@Heuchler52]

Gentlemen, you all are SUPER! Kudos!!!

[@mikeholmes4348]

Just wonderful, truly fantastic when I feel down, heavy at work I listen to this and the bounce comes back into my step. Thank you all at Iron Horse and glad tidings.

[@lipsyncyeah]

I'm the same. It gives you a pep in Yr step

[@mkvickery09]

This is one of the best covers I have ever heard. By anyone. Of anything.

[@darinpendergrass3511]

That's my kind of music! Rock on!

[@upshaw1314]

There isn't anything better than this cover. I'm amazed.

[@tactopublicidade]

I am from Brazil. I'm impressed! I'm Amazed! This sound mix took me! My best find of this year. Congratulations! Iron Horse and Elton John!!!!

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

If you like a good sound mix, check out Chris Isaak. Even his live mixes are amazing.

[@livewolf9647]

This is the first time i have heard these Guys. BLOWN AWAY!

Fantastic

[@Swampwabbit77]

[@spasskyfan5389]

Amazing!

[@marcellayox583]

I love this so much!!! Stumbled across yall last night and can't wait to hear more!!!! Fantastic artists!!!!!!!

[@SethJefferies]

I watched this shortly after published back in 2014 and have watched it almost every week since. Cannot get enough of this song and Iron Horse has become a regular part of my rotation now. I am not a huge music fan (I listen to very little anymore), but everything these guys do just really gets to me.

[@ebvfd1453]

It gets better ever time I hear it!! Greatest Bluegrass cover of a Pop song ever.

[@YCreek]

People keep saying the banjo dude is killing it and he definitely is. Everyone of these guys is killing it.

[@jesperjohansson7999]

Great cover!

[@streetfighter1966]

Awesome harmonies loved it.

[@beauhodges7957]

I love this more than the original

[@CourtAReed7]

I have never posted a comment on youtube before, but this song right here, definitely deserves one. I am very impressed! I dont typically like bluegrass, but y'all are some extremely talented men! I adored your cover quite possibly more than the original. You got a fan in me for sure!!!

[@Jack-zr2kv]

These Guys are so Awesome

[@49ccMopedWorld]

I must have viewed this song at least a thousand times haha. Makes me so happy

[@user-lj4kr3ny3n]

me too

[@Petebassclef]

GUYS.......best stuff I've heard for years. Well done.

[@electrojones]

These guys would be a great band for any occasion. The kind of happy music that leaves you a little melancholy.

[@RicardoQueirozmyself]

Guys you are incredible!

[@TheReal7Bit]

Wow, fantastic! First time I heard you guys, love it. As fast as it may be, I think bluegrass is very calming music. Great job!

[@nolan1432]

It's the dependability of that bass line - 'boome buume boome buume boome boome...'

[@jkwttrs]

One of my favorite songs. Well done men.

[@bill3352]

Beautiful , well done!!

[@paulco4145]

Fantastic rendition of one of my favorite songs! Thanks guys!

[@AR-ed3xw]

These guys are even better live, proud that these guys were my sons first concert

[@sergioaobolado]

Iron Horse is the best! Congrats, from Brasil.

[@johnny7388]

This is a great rendition of a great song! Well done Gents.

[@bearcat8691]

I never get tired of hearing your rendition of this! I could listen to it every day. Keep up the good work!

[@davidcampbell285]

Bear Cat amen brother!

[@daleross9357]

Bear Cat yes happy May day twenty eighteen we are warming up Pennsylvania USA

[@Garion1227]

I feel ya Bear Cat and if i'm being honest I probably do listen to this at least every other day. In fact I listen to Iron Horse quite regularly and this is coming from someone who was raised on 70's rock.

[@TGOIIHome]

Rodger That!

[@ddd228]

@Gawdamit The banjo makes it a happy tune!

[@Kolepto]

I love when an authentic band puts a twist on a classic. Commemorating a legend in the best way possible :D

[@jaredcrenshaw1115]

Dudes, that rocked!

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

These guys are great and I love the way they record. Just condenser mics, no plugging in and mixing. You've got to respect that even if you hate the music.

[@TheSamoht67]

right on

[@MrNidogg]

Thanks again for coming to Bozeman guys! You are awesome!!!!!

[@HowLEWD]

this song is perfect . the bass intro is set the tone.

[@johnmcnabb8943]

Pure mastery.

[@davidmarshall7887]

WOW!! I am blown away!! How excellent😱😱😱😵😵😵😵 this made my day!!

[@TheeGranAutismo]

This song means a lot to me one of my buddies passed away in 2010 in a mining accident along with his uncle and his cousin .. they used to listen to these great tunes.. may god bless the 25 men who lost their lives on that day..:(

[@virvisquevir3320]

TzD MxVix - Condolences to everyone there. Stay strong! I'm sure they're enjoying their favorite music somewhere else...

[@LarryGreen]

Fantastic jobs Gents!

[@alexcabrera3769]
