The Almost Famous - Gold Star For Robot Boy (Guided By Voices cover)

[@deepfriedcelt]

Hands down my favorite cover of this song. Right now I think I like it even more than the original.

Nice job, it's cool to hear this song with a little more polish. It's such a great tune. I dig the other GBV covers too, glad to see them getting some love in Norway!

This version captures the innocence, the child-like wonder, and the spiritual purity of Robert Pollard's vision like no other. Thanks for this.

[@egspyr]

Thank you SO much for your kind words❤

[@j.b.williams4117]

@@egspyr - I hear the last 4 bars of tags, and the final held chords - and I think of the Replacements. Ever heard of them??

[@egspyr]

@@j.b.williams4117 yep, like em a lot. I think the first song i heard by them was a kiss cover..black diamond🤘

Great melody brought out by brilliant instrumentation and the harmonies are just awesome. Listened to this like 100 times in the last minute.

[@snais3231]

Best cover ever 👌🙏

[@egspyr]

Thanx❤

@SpookyApparition Hey! Thank you for your feedback. We use a Fender copy made in Korea…The electric guitars on this song was played directly into the recording device, and we used the guitarsounds/fuzz available on that machine… I think we played three electric guitars, and one acoustic on this one.

[@markhower3787]

Still fabulous!

[@Masaichi-ux5lf]

Awesome sauce from l.a ca

[@markhower8986]

Thanx Mark :))

[@BricksWithoutStrawNJ]

Why are there photos of the Beach Boys during a GBV cover? Just curious

@SpookyApparition Yes, on this song we mostly used the four bottom strings, and let the bass guitar do the root notes. We didn’t try to make this song sound very different from the original. It works well as a straight rock song, and we wanted to recreate that and as you say give it some more clarity.

[@SpookyApparition]

bottom four meaning D-G-B-e of course.. i don't think i'm hearing a lot of low E string, unless you guys just mixed it really well.

[@egspyr]

@ThePetraKelly Thanx man! We enjoyed your playlist..take care:)

[@SpookyApparition]

great cover guys! what sorts of guitars/amps do you use? i really like the guitar tone on this... it doesn't get too chunky sounding either. do you guys play it by leaving off the root notes of the chords and playing the bottom four strings? i really like the clarity

[@mikefur3957]

Pretty sure the original was recorded under water.

[@davidmiyamoto8928]

Funny.but i like it alot

[@egspyr]

Thank you David🤘

[@egspyr]

No logic there, were only huge fans of both bands
