When I get high, I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car's a drug for me
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart
Always got the cops coming after me
Custom built bike doing 103
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart
Ooh, are you ready girls?
Ooh, are you ready now?
Whoa, yeah
Kickstart my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah
Baby
Whoa, yeah
Kickstart my heart, hope it never stops
Ooh, yeah
Baby, yeah
Skydive naked from an aeroplane
Or a lady with a body from outer space
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart
Say I got trouble, trouble in my eyes
I'm just looking for another good time
My heart, my heart
Kickstart my heart
Yeah, are you ready girls?
Yeah, are you ready now, now, now?
Whoa, yeah
Kickstart my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah
Baby
Whoa, yeah
Kickstart my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah
Baby
Kickstart my heart
When we started this band, all we needed
Needed was a laugh
Years gone by, I'd say we've kicked some ass
When I'm enraged or hitting the stage
Adrenaline rushing through my veins
And I'd say we're still kicking ass
I say, ooh-ah
Kickstart my heart, hope it never stops
And to think, we did all of this to rock
Whoa, yeah
Kickstart my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah
B-b-b-b-b-b-baby
Whoa, yeah
Kickstart my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah
Baby
Kickstart my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah
Baby
Whoa, yeah
Kickstart my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah
Kickstart my heart

Erik Gronwall. Born 1987. Established 2009. Making Rock music great again 2023.

haha

[@marlahart2060]

🎸🙋‍♀️Yes he is!

[@lance7989]

Fuck yeah

[@lance7989]

I like him better than listening to Vience. I'm just saying.

[@nikitarosen7902]

87 was a good year. So this dude is heaven sent. Just love him and all he does. Brillliant ❤❤💯🌟🤘

[@joniladd]

First time I ever heard this song where the lyrics were legible

[@HorseLady1109]

I know, right?

[@mcsmith8405]

I am not usually a fan of covers but damn that man got some lungs. He is amazing.

[@ashlynb840]

Fantastic job done by everyone… it’s great to finally hear what clear, crisp lyrics sound like on a Crue song.

[@scottharris1552]

😂 I came here to comment the exact same thing haha 👍🏻

[@MsDivineAZ]

Same! I was thinking "Oh those are the lyrics!" 😂

[@scottharris1552]

@MsDivineAZ yeah me too haha!

[@t-bonedoelman455]

Yup. Ditto.

[@MrVortex1313]

Or even tangible ones for that matter.

[@josephperry6822]

Oh, those are the lyrics! Outstanding cover Erik!!

[@Per.Norberg]

Long lost in the Vince-mumble-lingo for quite some time now *lol*

[@MsDivineAZ]

I just said the same thing! 😂

[@skulltone9734]

I thought the same thing!!

[@elainecallander7436]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@Vivianblue.]

Holy shit! I could actually understand the entire song for the first time in years!

[@tibord72]

In my opinion Erik could easily replace any singers from any band he’s definitely been blessed with a golden voice great cover as usual 🤟

Wow, thanks!

[@Bomber68]

Very very easy...

[@stephenhuxley1088]

I saw skid row with Erik 2 summers ago in Canada at a music festival in Burlington Ontario and he absolutely killed it. Sorry to say this Erik im a huge Bach fan but halfway through the first song I was like this guy is amazing they don't need Bach back. Erik you put skid row back on the map. I hope nothing g but the best for you. You totally won me over. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see you again

[@davezombie5940]

Except sebastian Bach...

[@Twizzforsberg]

Yes he can do it. Never heard anything ge cant do crazy good

[@motorcyclemaniac6674]

This is the first time ever that I’ve actually understood the lyrics on this song 😅 Bad ass as alway Erik 💪💪💪 and a big thumb up to the band! Awesome cover as usual.

Thank you!

[@danielsansone654]

I was thinking the same thing

[@trelard]

Dude.. You're how Vince Neil WISHES he ever sounded. Great cover. Kudos to ALL involved.

[@TheSkinsFactoryInc]

In all fairness, Vince sounded like this back in the day. He had his own style. He just let himself go way down...

[@nikitarosen7902]

Agree 💯🤘

[@barryb90]

@@TheSkinsFactoryInc He didn't though. This lad is levels above Vince in his prime, and definitely couldn't replicate the studio albums live.

[@TheSkinsFactoryInc]

@@barryb90 No he did. Erik has a much stronger voice. No doubt. But Vince had a style that he created and helped create one of the biggest bands in the 1980s. The whole reason you know of this song is because of Vince and the band's style. I don't know how old you are, but going by your name i'm going to assume you were born in 1990, so you didn't see the impact Motley Crue had on the 80s music scene. I think you're enamoured with Erik's power, perfect pitch and range and I'm right there with you. It's why i subscribed. But there's a certain energy that comes with creating a song that most cover singers can't replicate. It's a creator's vibe that can be mimicked but not replicated. That said, I love this guy. He has one of the best voices i've heard in a long time.

[@JimboNovrain]

@@barryb90 so true

[@viperbot2k9]

Oh my god. MOTLEY CREW CALL THIS MAN!!!!!!

😁🙏🏻

[@Taylor___]

Yes Erik!!! I’ve wanted my band to do this for ages!!!! This is your best cover yet!!!!

[@gibear2k7]

I almost agree.....It's going to be hard to beat PAINKILLER though!!!!

[@laszlopauli6719]

Cool !!!

[@whiterodman]

Shattered is my favorite

[@mariec3898]

Erik you can song it all, you can own it all. You have a sublime voice. You're one of the great. I appreciate everything you do, everything you say. Take care of yourself. I ❤ u Erik.

[@kimberlysalmonowicz6121]

Wow Erik!! You kickstarted my heart! I love that you pronounce every word clearly, keep up with that fast tempo and look like you all are having fun! Love to the musicians as well.

Out of this world! Some of those notes 😱🙌

[@rafapauser]

Love how you CAN sing everything you WANT!!! Thanks for your music talent and inspiration ❤

[@uddercharmsfarm8159]

That was sooo good. I grew up in the 80s and motley crue was one of my fave bands....Vince would be envious!!!

[@amendo]

Erik deserves all greetings, and so do the band. But this lead guitar guy made Mick Mars such justice that I needed to say. Wonderful song, and Mr. Mars guitar is the soul of it. Marvelous job!

[@CoughHiccup]

DUDES !!!!,,,one of my favorite bands and songs.... I just wanted to say that this rendition is absolutely incredible! Your passion and talents really shine through, and you've all done an amazing job capturing the energy of the original. Keep rocking and making awesome music. Vince would be jealous 👽🙃

DUDE! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@espressocoffeeman]

Can not fault what this guy and his mates do. They take every original song to a new level. 👍

Hehe thanks dude!

[@Billy-bd2oe]

Just great, covering the songs both Erik and we, grew up loving! So glad that he is healthy and doing great!

[@pennyjohnson4410]

Wow!! You nailed it again! Great cover for you to have done! You sure can get up there with your voice. Awesome job! You sure are still kicking Ass! ❤

Rock hard!

[@Revan83]

Wow! Great cover once again! And a one of my favorite songs from this band. Thank you, Erik!

Thank you! I love Mötley!

[@evelinamagic2546]

Слушаю подборку каверов на крутые группы всех времен и народов. Не думала , что каверы могут так классно звучать. Есть много талантливых исполнителей , которые дают второе дыхание знаменитым творениям.

[@TaraPumphret-ni9lp]

Awesome cover! So cool to hear it finished after sharing the process with us. Thank you

[@stevenpetrokovitch6398]

WOW!!!! One of my favorite bands of all time. You have done Crue justice! Wouldn't be surprised if they contacted you. Amazing job!!! Cheers!

Hehe thanks Steven

[@llliesbeth26]

Amaaaazing cover!! Fantastic as always, Erik!❤

[@dennissamples5233]

What the heck just happened here? Wow! In my senior yearbook I listed that as my favorite song. Over the years it's collected dust, especially after hearing Vince trying to sing it. Thanks for breathing fresh life into it...just wow!

[@keithbryant6110]

Omg you never cease to amaze me with your voice. And you can tell you are loving every minute of it. Rock on

[@user-ul5se5tn4i]

A collab between Erik and Tommy Johansson would be an outer world experience!!

And Chris Davidsson.... wow

2024 Skid Row and Motley Crue tour together and Erik sings for both bands.

[@HorseLady1109]

Interesting idea….does he get double money, then?

[@oddduckdeena]

Buckets 🪣 of talent. The enjoyment comes through with all of you. Thank you for this cover. Erik is one of the epic artists of immense skill.

I know a lot of covers of this song. They are all very good. But your cover is amazing. Amazing work again. Great musicians, great work! Thanks Erik!

[@ChanceTheChancenator]

Me before clicking on the video: oooooh, this is gonna sound so much better than the original! Me while listening: I was right! 🤘😁🤘

Omg! Almost 40,000 views in one day! Everything you deserved is happening for you. It’s nice to finally understand the lyrics to this song!

[@StrikeTheRoot]

meanwhile, Vince Neil just gobbled up another jelly donut...... I have a feeling Tommy and Nikki are going to be giving Erik a call.....can you imagine Erik just being the lead singer to every 80's metal band at the same time? because he simply sings better.

[@tonygranholm6855]

He is too busy in SkidRow 😉

[@elliaselliyasa3885]

I watched on KZbin, MC live show during their prime (80's) . Vince was a good live singer.

[@Joni_Papillon]

Bye bye, Vince, Axl and Sebastian 👋

[@gregdonald74]

Look, I know aging rock stars with their declining skillset can be a polarizing and contentious topic. But man, I don't ever want to hear you talking about jelly donuts that way again.

[@Zaq519]

The fact that they’ll defend Vince and slam mick says everything about where Vince’s job security is at…..crazy

[@kmkm4465]

I'm 54 and have a 17-year-old son who loves Crue and Skid Row but I told him those are the two bands I'd never see again... just isn't the same. I was so wrong. Wasn't paying attention. Missed the Dallas show this past yr, but just told my husband we won't miss the next one. Amazing talent!

[@lisamartin2203]

Amazing!!! First time I could actually hear the lyrics!! I’d love to see a Crüe show with Erik singing!!

Holy shit man! I have been a fan and been listening since you won Idol here in svedala! I still remember when you blew the roof of the building with your Iron maiden cover! I still get goosebumps just thinking about it. And this version of one of my favorite bands is epic! Sounds actually better then the original especially these days. As a Swede I can be proud having you out there representing the awesome talent we have in our country. And the band sounds really good. Grymt Jobbat Erik!!! Love hemifrån svedala! 💙💛💙

Stort tack! Uppskattar supporten. Ser fram emot att flyga hem till Sverige igen :)

Wow. Nice rock tune along with crisp clear lyrics that I can actually understand. Thanks for putting this video out there.

[@Mozartkugel]

Great cover as always - but the biggest part of the fun for me is always trying to recognize the guest musicians. 😁 This time Jens Anderson form the fantastic Crazy Lixx! 🤘😎 Don’t know the guy on drums yet, but will certainly look up his band afterwards! Thanks for putting a spotlight on these guys, Erik! 👍

Awesome! That would be Billy Jeffs. You'll find his Instagram in the video description :)
