go to
www.myspace.com/chetgassmusic
for professional studio orginals by me =)
my cover of Cult of Personality....Living Colours best (and probably only) hit.
such a kickass song I loved every second of playing it.
ya I also messed up quite a few times and the solo was 3/4 improved..so its not perfect but ehh i'm happy with it =)
playing my Washburn x50 pro w/ orginal floyd rose, semour duncan pick ups.
running into Pod Farm
got the backing track from some site..don't remember what
anyway enjoy and drop some comments and don't forget like it!

I love how he plays it the hardest way possible

[@redacted1402]

just had to flex on us

[@iaincrawford3319]

What you mean properly like the guitarist in the band. haha

[@danielnutt9]

@@iaincrawford3319 no he's playing the main riff in a different pattern compared to vernon

[@iaincrawford3319]

@@danielnutt9 Calm Down Chylde... most compositions have different ways to play the same notes but on different strings in another scale, Cheers for your input son. Also I have met them all on a few different occasions over the last 20 years with my mates and had a beer when going to see them play live.

[@dannyc7839]

I think this way is easier tbh

[@KPnutsack197]

Honestly... I feel like I should have paid to watch that. You're a savage dude

[@marcoabreo6506]

Save some cheek for everyone.

[@Chaoslava]

This is one of the only covers where I've sat in an empty room and watched, mouth agape, and then looked around to see if the 0 people in the room were as impressed as I was when he smashed the end of the solo out. Absolutely incredible.

Let something be free bro 😉

[@empanadasfritas7142]

I studied music and a feel like he is doing something good for all of us. He maybe was kind of a spoiled kid on his days but, He surely rocked the shit out of that guitar.

This guy has some awesome rhythm!! Beautiful job man!!!

Never seen someone play so smooth following the song's flow. The solos were a treat to the ears.

[@WTFisCollege182]

man you FUCKING DID THAT SOLO!!!!!!

***** So wait hang on, you report somebody's comment as abuse when he retaliates to a troll but you don't report the troll's comment as abuse? You're pathetic.

[@AndrewGammie]

People might get caught up that it's not 'note' perfect to the song, but dude, in all honesty, watching you have fun shredding is just as exhilirating. If you can get into your own shredding and pump it out, you can bet your arse that the people watching you play will be just as amped up for it too. shred on

[@zacwoods]

Andrew Gammie it's even better this way because the song was intended to be played a bit sloppily. It flows better sloppy than when played tight

[@brainrich1358]

Also you can call this his "interpretation" of the song. Where a musician can take a piece of music and add something to it without completely forgetting of its origin.

[@jonsword9508]

Technically This guy's solo was better so I don't know why that kid brought that up. How is Your shredding bud

[@rollitup419]

There is no perfect certain. In living colour never plays the solo the same twice.

[@jonsword9508]

Sometimes You have to play what sounds best from You

[@Pikmii]

Possibly the greatest guitar cover of Cult Of Personality ever made. Well done dude 👏👏👌

[@CamilhinhaDias]

You Rock!! 100% on expert

[@filesstorage6809]

I can only fc hard

[@briveaw2684]

Lol yes

[@andeegreen]

Quite possibly one of KZbin's all time best covers! This is a mindbender of a song and the cover is excellent!

[@ChezterG]

I never learned the solos either note for note.. just the basic outlines..

[@dannyboyno2]

Here in 2020 lockdown to say that was absolutely quality!

[@stevedoingstuff3960]

you have that tremolo down, man. sounds so damn good!

[@pantojiuxmobile7412]

[@seanabbott7065]

You also got something a lot of videos don t get and that's saved to my playlist to enjoy again that's mega respect to you

[@IOxyrinchus]

Wow, you freaking nailed it man. Watching you play the solos especially is a real treat, I have to go learn this now. Seriously, watching you shred is exhilarating just to watch.

[@BLVZE.]

I used to watch this video daily like 3 or 4 years ago and coming back to it now and I still love it. Banger cover dude. You've got talent.

[@xIsaacCantu]

You captured the essence of the song! Best cover I've seen so far! You inspire me to make my own covers

[@paulwilliams3980]

Do you fucking know how fucking hard it is to do this? i'm learning to play this and i keep screwing up yet you were so easy and and calm and just fuckin doing it like its nothing you are a fucking god ROCK ON!!!

[@ezraabbas3041]

Paul Veilside does anyone have a clue indeed. Im trying and trying, its so hard

[@wasifuddowlah4986]

+Paul Veilside its easy man keep practicin other songs then after some time get back to this

[@yoshatabi]

Just takes practice, like everything does. I can understand how difficult it could be. I'm going to try to learn this song today.

[@theblaydemeister7895]

Paul Williams I just can't get that insane solo down

[@buickkkkkk1]

I read in a old rolling stones mag that the solo in this song is like impossible quite possibly the hardest solo to nail, I'v been looking for somebody on youtube that's nailed it and this guy has come the closest ..........

[@samcoon6699]

Vernon Reid's tone was SO good here. I remember the summer that song came out, man, hear that pumping at a party, it was awesome!

[@grantbitten6786]

Fantastic job Bro !

[@IsleyTribute]

Son, you one badass on that geetar! LOL! I love it! The emotion, the excitement of the song, the engergy ... even the improv ... ALL 110% GREAT!!! Rock on!

best cover of cult that i can find you youtube ... you've done a superb job of capturing the feel of the soul of the solo. well done bra!

[@HobzyMcRuse]

Really good playing dude. You are very talented and I hope you're in a band and making awesome original music the way that Living Colour did (and still are) way back in 88!

[@luispenedasilva]

[@manslayerpupil]

That might have been one of the greatest covers of any song I've seen on KZbin

[@bluepillzombie960]

Forget "might have been" that shit was off the charts !!

[@ELF1977]

Uhh... dude? I think Vernon would be like "Holy shit, this fuckin guy is playin' my riff better than I do!" Sorry for the pro-phanity. It's one of my favorite songs all-time, and I have never heard anyone play a cover of it like that before. Badass dude!

[@VioletDeliriums]

This is still the best "Cult" cover I've seen on KZbin. It's not "mindless shredding" if it symbolizes the rage in the song. Only if it is just "look how great I play guitar" is it mindless shredding. Unfortunately, that's how most shred enthusiasts treat it -- they turn musicians into performing monkeys, not artists with minds and purpose.

[@andytheegoldfish]

The guitar on this song is so good I needed to hear it featured more prominently in the song and your cover was just what I needed. Good job!!

[@stevieg1755]

Ok, so I found this vid to try and maybe learn this song...now I think I'll just set the ol' geetar back down, grab a beer, and watch this again! You Rock Bro!

[@aidanlarose6901]

The guy that said he felt like he should've paid for it said it best, this was ridiculous. I really hope you're still playing because this was incredible.
