Demi and Slash hitting the same note at like 6:25....epic

[@georgepol3758]

Hey people. Notice this comment. What he's saying is important.

There’s a brief moment as the solo starts and another longer note towards the end. It’s really amazing!

Seriously!!

There's a moment where her voice wails, and the guitar kicks in a bend up to the same note and sustains it so it's hard to tell what's her and what's guitar, and it was really cool

[@oneinamillion-uq1id]

A kicking chemestry few find it. I get mine from ummm I,ll just whistle I love Axl Dad. I wish the 2 artist heaps of blessing. Demi would be great at doing some Janis Joplin covers. Try just a little be harder matches the essence of her generation she don't give up on anything. Slash has opened a door and unleashed some way forgotten lost music. That's why it's lost the world is lost. To it's depth and passion of the hands that feed her.

[@jacobwoodmusic1109]

Damn right - so unbelievably cool!

[@Slash1066]

Fantastic idea to blend her vocal with Slash's solo

[@steve-oh5]

This song is an absolute monster! Demi absolutely crushed it. And yet another masterpiece stitched together by Slash and his ability to get the right musicians playing on the right tracks. I'm in awe.

[@Rick-pn1pp]

I keep listening to this with utter amazement!

[@marcus813]

Getting Lovato to sing on this classic song was a genius move by Slash. I love this cover!

[@tonmuller]

Slash is the type of artist who is always surprising his fans. What a record!

[@oceancrosby4578]

Well, they are nowhere near as good as the original but yeah nice vid, however, Demi Lovato definitely steps it up in the second half, Slash's solo IMHO echos Carlos Santana, one could almost trade them out.

[@ElydaAmorim]

you should listen to her last album :)

[@kaylathompson2111]

Then you haven’t listened to her very much 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@bratislavdzombic]

It's likely because modern music production doesn't quite offer the same platform for artistic expression as some of the retro stuff does.

[@bogdanionut4423]

If you liked this, you should check out her covers of I will survive, Ain’t no way, don’t go breaking my heart (all are on streaming platforms too). From her own music, you should check out Father, Mr. Hughes, Tell me you love me, stone cold, 4 ever 4 me, dancing with the devil, anyone (and the whole album this song is on tbh)

[@virgilvirgilvirgil]

At 6.23 - 6.24 minute, Demi is reaching Heaven with that note and Slash, already there, in Music Heaven, is picking it up and carrying on to the God Allmighty !

[@brudbbb1]

Drummer knows what's it about!

[@Le5Pau1]

Slash can play his signature style that he's had for 40 years over a 50 year old track and still make it sound fresh... Amazing!

[@DETSRC313]

☝🏻 Underrated comment on the art of music.

[@brandothecatmeow]

That soul in Demi's voice. I mean, damn. She needs to do a whole album of nothing but funk and soul.

[@orlock20]

I've been thinking that for awhile, luckily Slash put the money down to make it happen.

[@floofymuffin]

YESSSSS

[@mickhoover8050]

Wow! This is a jamming video...I had no idea Demi Lovato could sing like that because I haven't really listened to her, but dang man, she can sing. The 70s vibe is so cool too.

[@being1gaga]

Try Stone Cold by Demi.

[@bogdanionut4423]

You should check out her cover of Ain’t no way by Aretha, I will survive, Don’t go breaking my heart - the vocals are insane and these are classic songs that I’m sure you’d enjoy. In terms of her own music, you should check out 4 ever 4 me (it interpolates Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls), Father, Stone Cold, Sunset, Unforgettable, Still alive, Every time you lie. Her discography is really really strong, but if you’re not really a big fan of contemporary pop music, I feel like these are great ways to introduce you better to Demi’s abilities. Her first two albums and the latest one (Holy F*ck) are all rock/pop-rock if you’re into the genre. It makes me really happy when people discover Demi’s talent after not paying her too much attention, so I’d really love for you to discover even more of her stuff

[@stacyk.8112]

If people think Demi Lovato is just another autotuned Disney kid singer, I would highly encourage them to listen to her music. She is highly underrated and deserves more credit and recognition!

When she is just "herself" she does have the range and feel.
