PetRock performing "Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson

[@Zim-wc2rs]

I’m about to be 60 and it’s great to see real music played again!!!!!!!!😊

[@bobbyboykin7137]

Same here, 60 in November. I can well remember when this one came out, and it still sounds fresh !

[@davidashburn8583]

An absolutely amazing cover of a truly unappreciated classic! The family’s anthem for our Lakehouse, even our dog loves it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@carlrosendorf5210]

Your dog has good taste ✌️ peace 2023

[@MLStanleyK]

ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON!!!

[@brucereynolds9708]

Totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@joedipento579]

The Schiltz ball makes its surreal ! Recording engineer on it besides talents of musicians.

[@scottw5315]

Very well done! Let's bring back real music.

[@SuprJoinT]

Simply perfect, best cover I've heard yet. Even the dude playing the Joe Walsh parts, looks like James Gang era Joe Walsh.

[@petrocktv3564]

Thanks Rob!

[@flashbacksaturdaynight871]

WOW!!!!!YOU GUYS ARE EFFING AWESOME! I host a national weekly radio show called FLASHBACK SATURDAY NIGHT and I play Fergusson's version about 7 times a year. I will be running your version into our library and will absolutely play it on the show. I'll shoot you a link of my segment playing your song. Great to meet you guys. Here's a link to our archives so you can get a feel for what I do. www.mixcloud.com/bobby-gray3/

[@stephenpowell49]

Well said

[@petrocktv3564]

@@flashbacksaturdaynight871 thanks so much for the kind words! It means a lot to us as lovers of this music. Please check out our other videos and let us know what you think!

[@andreawaterstreet3901]

This is all around awesomeness. But in particular, that drummer is KILLING IT!!!!

[@kurtodell3990]

Ok - badassed. Nailed the vibe, fantastic harmonies, and shout out to the bassist for nailing that line!

[@andylaw4988]

This a wicked version. Spot on I so many ways. Vocally it's awesome but that Joele Walsh slide part....!!! Smoking. Well done guys!!

[@petrocktv3564]

Thanks very much Andy!

[@rogerwhitaker169]

You guys brought a smile to this old man's face. Fantastic job and a great tribute to a much underrated song from 1978. Has Jay heard this? Sure brings back memories.

[@petrocktv3564]

Hey Roger! We're so glad you enjoyed our tribute! It's one of our favorites. As for whether Mr Ferguson has hear our humble little group perform his tune we have no idea!

[@markmath1]

I hear ya Roger. Same here.

[@reneeolson3952]

Best cover version I've heard for this great song!

[@cowboy4010]

Damm Good Job Y’all ! Keep It Up ! Rock On ! Cowboy ….

[@Guitarman7133]

THIS SONG KICKS THE SHIT OUT OF COVID! It was never really that bad.....hardly anyone died. LONG LIVE ROCK N ROLL!!!!

[@toadflax636]

1977...such a good year to be alive and experience this music and culture...Aliens in Space may ask you in a parallel universe one day "how was it to be alive and experience that music"?

[@oaubert]

After hearing this song on Family Guy last week, I can say that this is by far the most accurate cover (real slide picking) of this song.

[@petrocktv3564]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to us!

[@kevinbrake9407]

@@petrocktv3564 absolute best cover I've heard! Any special tuning on the slide guitar?

[@danahancock5984]

I play it in standard Tuning.

[@michaelwenzel1715]

Family Guy Garbage Island just got me here

[@jeffj2495]

I wish you guys would do some more big hits like this. You really have a great band.

[@ThePower1963]

Wow, that was a really awesome cover. Thought I was listening to the original. Very well done, fellas!

[@nancyx591]

Great - now I’m going to have the song stuck in my head again!

[@petrocktv3564]

Hi Nancy! We wish we could say we're sorry but... Well, you know. We're glad you found our channel!

[@gern7535]

I was 17 when this was released in 1977. Still have the 78 and play it on my turntable. Great tune! I believe Jay did music for the "Castle" TV show too.

[@johnsherfey3047]

78?

[@gern7535]

​@@johnsherfey3047I was being sarcastic. It's a late 1970s reference.

[@bobburger3427]

Keep coming back to this video. The way it starts out mellow then kicks in and the camera vibrates the video... WOW. Not a music expert but the tempo, heavier bass and drums make it better than the original.

[@incvend5337]

WOW what memories that song brings back !!!! Nice job!!!!!

[@petrocktv3564]

Thank you! We deeply appreciate the kudos!

[@joltinjack]

Damned good rendition. I was a college football player in the mid-to-late 1970's, and remember this song very well. This group captures the essence of being alive in 1975, and onward.

[@petrocktv3564]

THANKS VERY MUCH! That's what we try to do!

[@m.scottreeder]

Outstanding!! Well performed down to the note. Back in the day, I don’t remember this song when it came out. But in ‘78, when I was fourteen and in the 9th grade, “Shakedown Cruise” was released. The old WLSQ-AM classic rock station in Montgomery, Alabama played it all the time.

[@paulowen8527]

Top band, outstanding musicians.

[@AIGeneratedBITCoinApproved]

Thunderous Applause!! Applause!! Applause!! Stadium roaring!! Stadium cheering!! Thunderous, standing ovation!! Award winning!!

[@slshusker]

I visit often for this respectful version that is a 99% homage to the original tune.

[@anthonysince1969]

I'm getting 15 and 18 year old into 70s soft rock and this song is perfect. They both love 10cc.

[@petrocktv3564]

Good job spreading the soft rock to a younger generation! WE LOVE IT!

[@jimjones6960]

Holy crap, what an outstanding cover!

[@amymasliah3565]

best rendition ever. !!!!!! Thanks Boys.

[@petrocktv3564]

Hi Amy! You are very welcome and thank you for your kind words!

[@MrBabyBoa]

Nailed it! Great job all-around. Solid vocals, nailed the Joe Walsh slide solo, and a very good mix to top it off! :-)

[@fordranger63]

Great tune even almost fifty odd years down the road.

[@ccarley9133]

I usually hate covers but - THIS WAS AWESOME!!!👍🏻 Great job! Plz keep the 70’s ALIVE!

[@petrocktv3564]

Hello and thanks very much for your kind words. We are truly thrilled that we produced something you enjoyed. This band LIVES to keep the 70's alive! Stay smooth!

[@joltinjack]

You guys rock! It's like a time machine - going back to 1978 and hearing this.

[@petrocktv3564]

Thank you! We're glad you like what we do. We work really hard to do the tunes justice

[@kriszellers9718]

Awesome

[@ronniemerlyn4051]

PETROCK PLEASE COME BACK- PLEEEAAASSEEEE

[@giorgiocisilino4874]

great tunes from back in the day played and sung so well.

[@markcavazos5794]

Wow! Just like the album I have had under my bed for some 40 years! Awesome job. Thanks for the memory.

[@bdhampster]

This song sounds like nostalgia.

[@Scritley]

I can't imagine anyone doing a better cover/tribute of a song... so GOOD!

[@frankdanfelt7059]

You made it great. I remember when Jay sang that.

[@petrocktv3564]

Thanks, Frank! We're realty glad you liked our rendition!

[@CurtisLinder]

Yes - really superb cover of this gem of a song.

[@stratplayr6997]

EXCELLENT JOB!! Totally spot on! Nice slide playing by the lead guitarist & the vocals sound just like the original!

[@dudeguy117]

Yes, awesome cover!! I love this song!!!

[@gdudley9]

Don’t think that tune could be done any better!!! Y’all knocked one out of the park with that one fellow’s! 🎶!

[@petrocktv3564]

Hey thanks Gary! We hope you like all of our videos. We're really glad you found our little corner if KZbin!

[@ericstrong513]

Yep, brings back those good old AM Rock Radio days from the 70's. Lot's of catchy pop rock or bubblegum rock songs from back then that are actually fun to listen to and/or play. AM Radio had this stuff, flip it to FM for "Album Oriented" rock and the typical Yes, Led Zep, ZZ Top, Bad Co. etc., if you lived it you know what I mean. BTW, you guys played that right on and tight, nice skills.

[@Tedzepplin]

Found this channel completely by accident. Phenomenal musicians! I think y'all made this band directly from my own brain. I play too, thankfully for money now, in several bands but your band is the type of gig I've dreamed about joining for decades. I'm a subscriber, keep it tight and I'll be watching.

[@petrocktv3564]

Hey Bryan! Thanks for the kind words! This band was a dream project for everyone involved and it took a long time to lock down membership and get rolling. We are really glad the work has paid off for folks that see and hear our stuff. Keep rockin', and stay smooth!

[@bigeyejim]

As a musician (if you can call a bass player a musician 😂) I am jealous. Great playing and harmonizing!! Bravo!

[@randyedward1]

You killed it top-to-bottom!! Outstanding...🎶

[@petrocktv3564]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@goodcitizen4587]

A great rendition of a great song.

If I could give it 5 thumbs up, I would. This is an amazing version of a classic. Good job guys.

[@petrocktv3564]

Martian Productions thank you!

[@MustHaveWine]

Damn...you guys rock! You totally nailed it!

[@Jon_Bass4001]

Nailed it. Best cover I’ve heard so far and I’m digging the garage setup. 🔥🔥🔥🎸

[@petrocktv3564]

Hey thanks very much! We are really glad ypou enjoyed it! Our space has been transformed since our earlier videos were shot. Nothing like a pandemic to free up time to reimagine rehearsal space!

What an amazing cover! I was younger when this came out (born in ‘67), but it was still one of my favorites just the same! Thanks for sharing this under appreciated hit so perfectly.

[@deanallen927]

Great job!!! Now all you have to do is do the bass straight to the board 70s style and you'll have it! (ha ha).

[@Neilfrozn]

This is still a good song. Just recently, I heard it again, and was reminded.
