Livin' On a Prayer Cover (featuring PelleK and Cole Rolland)

Hey guys!
So I have a Christmas vid on the way as well but me and 2 of my good KZbin buddies just wanted to do kind of a "Holiday Collab Jam". We decided to give a shot (yes, pun) to an obviously classic tune and just have some serious fun :) Big ups to PelleK and Cole for being so so easy to work with.
And as always, BIG BIG ups to you guys for ROCKING my casbah ALL YEAR LONG!

This song was my dads favorite song before he passed away. This made me think of all the times we use to sing it for him or play it really loud. Great job guys. This is so awesome. Keep kicking ass.

[@KingOfBlades27]

The best thing of music is literally when only one song can have so much meaning for you. It is just an awesome feeling :)

[@OleMarthonKarlsson]

e du norsk

[@maxipongi6180]

Sorry for your lost but hey,at least that is his favourite song so associate it with the fun memories you had with your dad!

[@DOOMSLAYER66641]

I used to sing this to my grandparents to get them dancing but they passed away but they always be in my heart

[@TheJbhmetal]

The Bon Jovi tune is a classic! Your dad had a great taste of music. I am sorry to hear about him being gone. God bless you!

[@wademercer6317]

Someone needs to make petition to have these guys make a band together!!!!!! That would be something to see!!

[@niteblade6731]

Wade Mercer have Leo play bass and myral Cohen as the drummer

[@ryanmerlino1003]

i third that

[@melisagantner2764]

A tremendous idea!!!

[@spencerstanley4759]

I fourth the motion.

[@ikbendusan]

shit idea

[@ColeVecsion]

Why are you guys not touring as the greatest new metal band on the planet? i think this needs amending ASAP :P

[@Zmac-tq1pb]

I agree completely

[@BigGator5]

I said that on Erock's last collaboration. They need to make this happen.

[@StoneTargus]

they need drummer and then world os theirs!

[@bjornorchard3693]

They seriously need to!!

[@whitemike1221able]

They can get Avery drummer! I know he's 8 yrs old but he smiles while rockin and could be the greatest show of all time!

[@Argonwolfproject]

It's 90 degrees in my room and this song gave me chills.

[@CWINDOWSsystem32]

11 months ago, so February 2016. Why do you turn up the heater so high?

[@stevenslater409]

maybe because he lives in Australia

[@SyntheticFuture]

I'm not quite sure if you have to deep throat that talkbox but hey whatever gets you off ;)

"Deep throat the talkbox" LMAOO

[@wildmikefilms]

Bruce Wayne ive seen you elsewhere on the internet im almost positive

[@jakenewell7897]

Bruce Wayne iol I think u mean aol

[@MrEthernopian]

i was thinking the same thing. lmao amazing cover though

[@DayDrinkin]

it's 11:40 PM. I just discovered this channel and originally thought he was an amateur before clicking and now I'm shaking because it's so damn good.

[@gavinpalmer4627]

they are all so good together.

[@isaacwilson3120]

I don't understand all these hate comments. I mean, yeah, PelleK's voice doesn't _quite_ fit the tone of the song, but if you don't like it, just go back to the KZbin homepage or close the window or leave in some way. You don't have to stick around to say how much you hate that PelleK is the one singing and how Cole has a Linkin Park shirt.

[@SquishMe]

well said

[@kasmersensei7646]

@@HollyRoxxMusic I don't even think it's that. His voice is very close to the original, not much difference. I never considered Bon Jovi as great vocalists, just more great showmen.

[@HollyRoxxMusic]

@@kasmersensei7646 Possibly, so.

[@pedroalves5323]

I mean - let Bon Jovi interpret some of the songs I heard from PelleK ..... They would give up on the second high note, I believe. Don't get me wrong I like "living on a prayer " since I was a youngster. But I like this here more than the original.

[@RrockCj]

2:12 The way he sang "Baby, its OK" is incredible!

[@Danishdudezor]

Lol, so many people complaining that this isnt the right way of doing this song. ITS A GOD DAMNED COVER. Its not meant to be exactly like the original; go listen to the original if that is what you're after. AWESOME cover you 3, amazing vocal range, awesome guitar play. Keep it up guys!

[@kasmersensei7646]

Definitely! great version.

[@Z04RD]

Canada, Norway and USA. That's music without borders. Respect guys! That's awesome! |m|,

[@Stynkrat]

who is what?

[@SuperNerd1988]

Cole Rolland is Canadian, PelleK is Norwegian, and Erock is American.

[@Stynkrat]

thanks! Sorry I probably sounded stupid! XD

[@mhb11]

Ikr it's totally a NATO alliance

[@JassyPabst]

I also love it more than the original, sounds fresh and totally awesome, also love this vocal "wah wah" effect xD and awesome solos like always :DDD cool that you guys made this collab :)

[@ushaiyer32]

Very True

[@guitarfliud10]

I love PelleK's voice and Erock's shreds together. They complement each other so well.

[@SynphamyMusic]

This should have been a boss fight on guitar hero

[@meganthefencer694]

Dan Maginnis I know!

[@geogravid8033]

the guitars are excellent...but this singer...oh my god he's a star!

[@MeganAngel315]

Oh my god!!! You three just broke my metal heart!!! The epic guitars, majestic singing, and speak box. Why are you three not in a band and traveling the world!!!??? Anyone in the comments a talent agent because here's the talent!!!

[@gamerboy244]

I love how it's always so obvious you are totally having a blast playing these songs, singing along with a huge smile on your face.

[@Kiwi_Tea]

Eric is so happy playing...man if I could as happy doing something like he is :)

[@nickathdd]

Being a die hard Bon Jovi fan, and watching plenty of your vids, I was totally blown away by this. Totally freakin awesome dude. KEEP ON ROCKIN!!!!!!

[@Bullvine69]

Pellek sounds a little like Klaus Meine at times. Great collaboration guys sounds fantastic.

[@theforceisover9000]

I have always wanted these 3 to play together QuQ so beautiful. Now they just need a drummer, bass and that spanish guitarist who is just as epic...then best band ever.

[@mediadeo]

perfect man ... some people are living on a prayer while others are praying on a liver ...

[@benjaminparkinson5255]

I love this version

[@MrWhitearchon]

i would pay good money to see theese guys playing live together :)

[@thrropones7656]

I really like the heavier guitar parts you're doing, but this vocalist doesn't quite beat the original Bon Jovi vocals. He's falling just a little short I think.

[@Thesupersparta333]

True, but I don't think anyone can really do Bon Jovi perfectly except Bon Jovi himself.

[@JacobKilledBatman]

I don't know, I think PelleK did pretty well on this song. His range definitely beats out Bon Jovi's for sure. It's just a different style of singing.

[@daway212]

I do feel that there is something lacking with his vocals, not in range or octaves, but the way he sounds. It doesn't quite match

[@pjcreations]

He enunciates too well for a metal singer.

[@DaNO324]

They can cover the song however they want

[@av.nurcihankocali1774]

Cole Rolland's guitar is burning. That's real talent

[@lordchapelseed791]

now THIS fits with PelleK's vocal range, NICE rendition!

[@isabellelachambre5051]

My favourite Bon Jovi song ! Thank you !

[@LauraWicca]

I love these guys, they are really talented. Keep rocking! 👍👍👍

[@lizatopouria6304]

I love the Linkin Park shirt. Amazing work guys!!! Absolutely love this!

[@PabloSantaFe87]

Goddammitt !! the best cover i've ever seen of this song and I've seen a lots, that is just fantastic

[@marshalcraft]

Yeah, some are hit and miss, but when hit they are pretty good, like Titanic heart go on, i love that one.

[@TrudeauAFH]

Well done! You guys should do more covers like this!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!

[@StarlynSky]

Okay, it's time for you guys to form a band now

[@TechnoSkittles]

And just when I thought this song couldn't get any better... you went and covered it. I'm just... I... I can't even... MIND... BLOWN!

[@uninterestedhour]

Dear god that Pellek can sing

[@dsaturn3342]

Having voice just enhances this SOOO much. I love it.

[@hooter63]

Simply Outstanding guys! Keep stuff like this coming, the sky is the limit. I hear a bunch of armchair producers putting in their 2 cents that haven't a clue what they're saying. Cole: best colab with Eric yet! The call/response soloing with E was awesome, the syncing up in octaves was tight as a drum. K: Freaking awesome vocals, dude, I could hear you are like wanting to let the pipes rip, but not trying to steal the stage, nice! E: As usual, epic brother! Putting this together for fun basically, shows your love and compassion for music and the people who listen.

[@LunaCarya]

Usually I don't like Bon Jovi covers, but this is genius! Love it!

[@vittoriopellicano5756]

WHAT THE HELL COLE ROLLAND IS AMAZING

[@TheHeavyMetalJunkie]

And this is how awesome song turns into FUCKING AWESOME song. Great job guys

[@4kr3Gaming]

If all the covers made were half as good as this one, World would be a better place!!. Please make more of this awesomeness!!!!

[@MrJsfowler]

Dude. where have I been? your band is outrageous. I am a 50 year old 80s junkie and your songs rock hard. More more more. I do have one curious question. I saw you did a Dr. Who remix (amazingly done, I must say). would you be up to making a remix of Technolique Parks (sorry if I misspelled the name) song Orbital? would love to see what you can do with that. you gave a huge fan. love your work.

[@Tman2217]

[@dangschwind]

Hey Lisa ... great ! ok ... no problem ... got another drummer (friend of Shunny) he wants also to collaborate hahaha ... I know it since yesterday ... he´s a rock- drummer ... hahahaha ... you see

[@dangschwind]

[@jakefaulkner8381]

+The [Fe] Throne Try using the search engine 'duckduckgo'. On their video's page, you can select 'watch here' when you click on a video, that MIGHT get you round the block, it's worked for me before

That may in fact be the most perfectly bizarre descriptive statement of enjoyment I have ever heard...more so because my brain pictured both the element and the musician.

The level of skill these guys are bringing is ridiculous! I always get so hyped to see a new video, keep shreddin dude!!!

[@GuysCallMeShawna]

I needed a cigarette after that.

[@mikerossiter6223]

Awesome indeed

[@GrimslyRyuzaki]

That means u are cigarette addict that means u will be dead in hmm 20-30 years? I don't even need to say 'I hope u get cancer' coz, well, y know.

I've been watching since the beginning, and your collabs with PelleK are definitely some of your best work. You guys must work really well together!

[@flynnhendry]

Maxmoefoe on vocals

[@urmum7703]

pretty much

[@ameliaz315]

This was incredible. The vocals, the guitars... I am speechless >

[@tao5394]

i know it's an older song but the way you guys play brings new life to it. which brought a fire in my very being of my soul. and i'm sure it dose with many other metal and non-metal fans

[@philthy122]

How none of you seem to have recording contracts and play sell out stadiums is simply beyond me!

[@YourMoralCompas]

This was one of the very first songs that got me into a rock fan and then turned into metal! as a child i loved this song and i love yo u guys even more now! THANK YOU!

[@Baconator96]

LIZARD ON A CHA-AIR!

[@hylander89]

AWESOME! You have a metal sound.... with a newer punk rock mix.... love it.

[@AngeloDau]

Pellek is a good singer with high notes, but he can't touch bonjovi's tone, he is a Whole different beast, sorry pellek

[@megatjiwari5051]

+Angelo Dau (Retoucher) thats a good thing. he sing in his own voice not some imposter trying to be someone else. every singer is unique in their own way. If all singer sound the same then theres no point in having many singers in the world.

[@Kiwi_Tea]

+Mus May Well said.

[@S0LIXUS]

he isn't supposed to sound like bon jovi.. just like bon jovi doesn't sound like axl rose .. or axl rose doesn't sound like mick jagger ... Pellek does covers in his own tone .. which makes this collab so good...

[@staticmunk7777]

oh my gosh I thought of another I hope all 3 of you go together on doing a classic deep purple song highway star you 3 would really rock and rule that one and bostons more than a feeling you would make it ring through out time itself.

[@MetalDiamondtake]

Is it me or the sound quality is not good?

[@mohdfaizalezuansulaiman8904]

Nicolas Boyer just you...lol

[@jazfranklin8296]

That...was... FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!! You guys need to be in a band like seriously that was so incredible I wanted to cry.

[@Vegetsu101]

Thats way too much porn for my ears, systems offline

[@christiankjrlarsen1410]

Astonishing... no other word for it. I'm completely mind boggled by the skills. MORE MORE MORE :D

[@bosdad7]

The guy on the Les Paul was awesome. the other two were mediocre Las Vegas lounge performers.

[@vacant4]

Its not even a Les Paul lol

[@bosdad7]

did you watch the video ? the white guitar is a les Paul style guitar.. not an SG . no matter who makes it, it's still a Les Paul. ( style ) . Thanks for taking the time to troll !!

[@vacant4]

Of course its a Les Paul STYLE but that guitar is made by ESP/LTD and I'm pretty sure it's called an Eclipse. Don't get flustered buddy, neither you or I are aggressive here, remember that.

[@bosdad7]

so what your saying is, that my statement would allow people reading it, to know who I was talking about. ( which was my intention ) I was not trying to educate people on what guitar is made where or by whom. however, I would like to thank you for jumping in and explaining that you also are not sure of who made the guitar. As you can see by all the comments, people were just going crazy trying to figure it out. ( sarcasm ) .

[@vacant4]

As I said... Don't get angry, I honestly thought you assumed it was a Les Paul so I told you so. Sure it's not life changing I just felt like it. You could've said a million different things to refer to Cole as well so it's not like I'm the one at fault here; neither of us are. When did this become so hostile?

[@CapnPhilly]

I dare say this is your guys' finest work. Truly mesmerizing!

[@shortwinger3]

Cole has talent but he shreds so much to the point where it's just obnoxious That being said, while I don't like that he shreds throughout most of a song, he does have talent and worked hard to get where he is, so why the hell is cole wearing a linkin park shirt? He is way above linkin park's level. Linkin park is shit. Cole has talent. He should know what talent is because he clearly worked hard as hell achieve the amount of skill he has and linkin park has no skill or talent.

[@shortwinger3]

Yes, I know this unrelated. But it pisses me off that mediocrity is accepted even by people that should know better.

[@danielvutran]

shortwinger3 Do you ever think that since cole is extremely talented, that he understands true talent such as Linkin Park? Maybe it's not he that is confused, but it is you.

[@shortwinger3]

You see the thing is: linkin park has none. If they did, I wouldn't have written that comment. This is linkin park in a nutshell: whine and cry about stupid high school shit that doesn't matter, scream like a spoiled 14 year old brat that had call of duty taken away, uses bland chord progressions in every song, use one drumbeat throughout a whole song, put in a mediocre rap section. That's all they do. even mike shinoda has heard good music before and he still wants to write shit music with linkin park. Makes no sense.

[@eMilFx]

shortwinger3 It hasn't occured to you that he simply likes Linkin Park's music? Even if they are "talented" or not, you can like the music anyways. And also it seems to me that Cole is playing as "lead guitarist" in the verse and therfore he is "shredding" a bit more than Eric in the verse. Might just been me tho

[@ewenyap3018]

shortwinger3 you just got to accept that there is no such thing as definate when it comes to opinion, YOU might not like LP or think they have talent, but others do.. you can't measure it like a physical thing, its subjective and opinions will differ. and even if you think you can change that, you cant.

[@whateversuckme]

just DO IT eRock! Form this band and you shall own the world of metal for all time!

[@TaSimsch]

I can't stop replaying this song!

[@remoruegg5685]

Nope... I still think you should keep it instruments only... I'm sorry, but I just don't like the singning so much... I mean, yeah, it's pretty damn good, and i could not do even nearly as good... but in my opinion, it doesn't fit with the Music you've been doing so far... and man, I really love that guitar solo/duet around 3:30, but... the whole song should be like this... Am I the only one who feels this way? Probably I am...

[@WrathofGobae]

It's just too poppy sounding. Same reason I hate Sonata Arctica. But whatever floats their boat. Not like I care too much.

[@DemonsSeed]

No, you are not the only one.

[@McSmacks]

I agree. Not bashing the dude's vocal talents, but I'd much rather have it be straight instrumental or even have the original vocals playing than have someone else singing. It was still really good though.

[@markpobanz2821]

Absolutely not, I agree. The singer is great, and he really started to let off at the end, but you're right, it doesn't fit with Eric and the other guitar player.

[@moviemaker2011z]

You can't pksy livin on a prayer and not have vocals, and pellek did okay on this in my opinion

[@MasterLederhosen]

Yikes, the chorus gives me chills, especially at the very end. Great Job!

[@Telemachus2814]

I love that you work with PelleK! You were already awesome and this makes you even moreso!

[@dazzio187]

these guys should tour! seriously! this is fucking awesome

[@meganthefencer694]

Oh Styx! Erock has a talk box!!! Nice! This is one of the greatest covers I’ve ever heard!

[@gio1734]

i love how these guys are so happy

[@utrocks97]

Simply fantastic. It's a new twist to it but retains the classic song. Great vocals, outstanding guitar playing. Loved it!

[@waitingforwings6]

Awesome :) definitely a nice lil gift to all the fans, least I think so! Happy Holidays you guys, or Merry Christmas even hehe thank you for the music, keep rocking into the New Year!

[@JDawgss]

ok...you must ALL move to the same area and make a band and rock this out professionally...I LOVED this version of this song...you are ALL so talented and loved every minute of this!

[@KevinC119]

Amazing! Definitely do more with PelleK if you can! 2 of your best are with him, so good!

[@Half_BreedGinger]

you guys have totally got to form a band together that was insane you all went really well together and you guys are incredibly talented at what you do keep it up guys

[@RMC123ify]

That was the most brilliant think my ears have ever heard... Holy shit, well done guys!

[@gimmethatduck8783]

Yes this is amazing omg love all 3 of them and now this what do I say but this is a dream come true merry Christmas to all Erock and PELLEK and cole fans I hope this is on iTunes and spotify defo gunna ride to this

[@danielrocheleau4048]

BEST Erock collabo so far. Never ceases to amaze!! Amazing work from all three!!!! Invisible touch meets metal!!!!
