The BEST SONG TO COVER Live...

[@MusicisWin]

What do you think the best cover song to play in any venue is?

[@MilesOlsenMusic]

War Pigs, Paranoid, Killing in the Name mashup!

[@liljbox19]

Love this bro, you are an amazing player, would love to meet with you and just talk away for hours, ironically enough I just got engaged last year in November. Been making a whole lot of new stuff lately myself and I've been trying to make something completely custom, looking for beat makers or even yourself to colab on an album I'm working on right now. Hope to maybe hear back from you, but Ive been thinking of putting you into one of my songs for a long time, would be hella cool to make something interesting with you

I photograph a lot of weddings, and I will say that one song that gets every pumped up, singing along, of all ages, without fail, is don’t stop believing

[@DanielBobke]

Again...a 43 year old song.

[@grandarchon6969]

@@DanielBobke What's wrong with that?

[@DanielBobke]

@@grandarchon6969 Absolutely nothing. My earlier comment was that most of the songs that resonate even with a younger crowd like in this video are songs older than most of the audience.

[@jalanbuck]

Yup. We close with that a lot and it gets everyone on the dance floor singing along. Every. Single. Time.

[@rmaxtpmx]

Where would you rank Livin on a Prayer in comparison? In my experience, no one can resist screaming the chorus at the top of their lungs.

[@theena]

Was not expecting a song about the Irish troubles as the answer to this question but I am just glad it is not Freebird. That was an incredible cover, you guys.

[@jalanbuck]

My band covers Zombie, it kills every time. Everyone sings along and I get to go nuts on the guitar solo - what’s not to like?

[@Gerry-p1u]

As an Aussie great to see you mention Are You Gonna be my girl. Also so good that Zombie is the one. A great anti-war song.

[@ethanfoxall3804]

The #1 cover song that gets everyone going is Mr Brightside no questions asked

[@hegemonycricket2182]

🤮

[@wielkiarts6832]

That’s exactly what I was thinking

[@MarshallRobertsMusic]

Ty! Bro! Your solos during Zombie were incredibly beautiful!!! I've only sung and played rhythm guitar for almost 30 years and in a number of bands. But your channel has truly inspired me to work on learning to play outside my comfort zone. Thank You!

[@sneifert1968]

You shook me all night long. AC/DC

[@joermnyc]

“Just What I Needed” by the Cars got the crowd going for my friend Mike’s band back in college (he was the bassist, it helped they had real analog synths because back then digital didn’t have that sizzle).

[@delocabi3038]

Thumbs up because The Cranberries are my favorite band. They got me into guitar. I also have Dolores's Gretsch White Falcon.

[@Hbomb731]

Too much fun! I’m going to play my trumpet behind my head my next gig!

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

I’ve found that War Pigs is a cover song that everybody, young and old, enjoys. That would probably be my pick.

[@deadshot4245]

and for a drummer its not exactly the easiest if you aim to be accurate but gives plenty of space to make your own too great choice best set of lyrics that still ring true sadly

[@DanielBobke]

There you go...54 year old song.

[@gregsteffey1266]

Yes! War Pigs is a great cover song to amp up a crowd. I loved playing it. I am a guitarist.

[@achillesreyskens2774]

kick out the jams goes crazy imo

[@jackhaugh]

There’s a band made of former Amish people called the Amish Outlaws that does a mash up cover of War Pigs with Move Bitch. It’s fantastic!

[@NedJeffery]

7:20 I was so certain you were going to say "More than a feeling".

[@jeffmoestaygyi.1248]

Haven’t played in a few years but I’m getting back into after being severely depressed for a few years now I’ve come realize you can’t let go of your passions they are a part of you and your expression.also thanks for putting me onto tomo great lessons

Black Betty turns out to be incredibly popular. Everyone seems to know it.

[@TheSlandis]

@MusicisWin7 Right....

[@dharris1234]

Yep, play this one live! I always think about Dolores O’Riordan which makes me sad and gives an emotional heaviness to it.

[@MrChristoferoful]

So he's talking about Zombie? Really?

[@alecrisser12]

Live music is enjoyable even if I don't particularly care for the songs. Looks like an awesome show!

[@jonprudhomme7694]

Thought for sure it was going to be Sweet Caroline, given the locale.

[@TheChrisDiaz]

South Florida band member of Airplane Möde - Yup, Zombie brings down the house every time. Great video! I'll be in Nashville in the coming weeks 🙌

[@bravo4adventure988]

What a fun band…found myself grinning from ear to ear by the end

[@balustrade2966]

In the UK I'd say it's definitely maybe either Wonderwall or Don't Look Back in Anger

[@mjf1036]

I would have never guessed the cranberries but you slayed. No surprise the band is booked solid. we were in Nashville a few weeks ago to see Cardinal Black and loved the rocking cover bands there. such talent and energy and the bands have. Shout out to @theFutureLegendsNashville.

[@inboundmusic8894]

I believe it's sandman. Every gig I play that one is always the crowd favorite 🥲😭

[@tylermorrisofficial]

This was such a fun weekend! 🤘

[@danwilhite]

Great video! Makes me miss playing in a band. We used to play “Say It Ain’t So” by Weezer. Seemed to be a crowd pleaser…several years ago.

[@guitarcomet5]

In my experience (1990-2010) 15 different classic rock cover bands I played with had several songs in common on the list. (Note: Eastern North Carolina) 1. What I Like About You 2. Born To Be Wild 3. Should I Stay Or Should I Go 4. Long Cool Woman (black dress) 5. You Really Got Me 6. Sweet Home Alabama 7. Brown Eyed Girl 8. Rock & Roll All Night 9. Rock & Roll (been a long time) 10. Margaritaville Sorry if we missed a few of your favorites. We promise to learn them by the next time we come to play here. 😊

[@guitarcomet5]

@MusicisWin7 Woo Hoo! ..all those years of playing in local rock bands, hanging out in dive bars with drunks yelling in my ear about how great a guitar player I am… is finally paying off! 😝 I’m sure my prize will be worth all the effort.

[@guitarcomet5]

…btw , I love the humor you inject into you videos.

[@magnumopus511]

Based on experience, when we play live, people respond best to *Mr.Brightside, Don't Stop Believing, Wonderwall* for acoustic and that☝ *Zombie*

[@heathert6680]

Zombie always slaps! Love the video Ty. What a fun weekend and love seeing your talent tying it all together. Bravo!

[@forturizergaming9661]

ain't gonna lie my band does a sick cover of "everybody" by the back street boys that slaps every time live. oh and so does our cover of ghost busters

[@gareth6233]

You should do a series like Beato’s ‘what makes this song great’, like ‘why I love this song’ sorta thing. This would be a good entry. Also really liked your breakdown of why the solo on Every Time I Die was the best solo. Help us plebs understand, Tyler. HELP US...

[@xdzero9987]

This is truly inspiring. I wish to be good like this one day

[@stratonicc2651]

id say "knockin on heaven's door" is a great song to cover live. whether you want the slower, more acoustic version like bob dylan's original, or the heavier, louder, more raunchy sound like GNR added, it has its fast and slow moments and allows for both great guitar solos and crowd interaction.

[@DavidWayneBroyles]

My custom rig is a Boss Katana 50 with an Airstep from Xsonic. Does the trick. 😀

[@jsbmx2039]

Show looked like a lot of fun. Good stuff

[@nickd8289]

Play that funky music white boy. Gets all the girls dancing immediately and gets the party started.

[@thewizdad]

My vote is “We Are The Champions” by Queen. Nothing gets a jammed club singing as loud as they can as that chorus.

[@3GPtv]

The song, Zombie, is about the killing of two children by a terrorist bomb. I never ceases to amaze me how people can be happy, excited and have fun with a song about the murder of children. It's probably just me.

[@schectertheboy]

I knew it got to to be Zombie!!! This song is one of the G.O.A.T!!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻😆😆

[@stefantop5752]

[@joelsmith552]

A band I was in used to do a ska cover of "When I Come Around" we started doing because it was fun filler, but it always killed.

[@barackmycat9448]

Mustang Sally for the win.

[@tyhystreasuretrove7315]

True that, we throw a call and response guitar and kazoo solo in the middle and everyone goes feral. In close contention old time rock and roll, the older crowd always go nuts when they hear that stupid intro.

[@barackmycat9448]

@@tyhystreasuretrove7315 Good one. I don`t think I could play Old Time one more time. You`re right though.

[@andyc2744]

Mr. Brightside always seems to get us in the UK going - or Zombie. Note, wrote this before seeing the end of this vid, great minds!

[@auramatic77]

Zombie is one of the most crowd pleasing covers we do, yes

[@KarenBasset]

Sometimes you gotta read the room to know what songs will work for the location and demographic.

[@No1414body]

Just for fun one day, play Torn by Natalie Imbrulia, all the girls will go crazy. They love that song

[@KenFernbach]

Zombie - Agreed! Great song 👍

[@alviselsey7794]

I play on Broadway in Nashville and I play Zombie nearly every day. I still really don't understand why people like it so much

Honestly, the two most popular covers that we play are usually American Girl and The Boys Round Here.

If you teach this to one girl living in a house she will teach it to another girl living in that house, and they’ll play it forever and the second girl’s boyfriend will hate you because they’ll play it non stop every day for about 3 months straight.

[@spacegoat77]

I’ve seen Livin on a Prayer done a few times and, although you really need the right singer, everyone knows it and screams the chorus at the top of their lungs usually quite badly. And the guitarist finally gets to use that damn talk box you bought years back to learn the song

[@guitarj]

Crazy enough, it’s funny you mention Nantucket, cause my Aunt has had a beach house there for awhile, and I’ve visited so I know what you mean about $90 t-shirts

[@jaredbryce7964]

TNT by AC/DC is always a big hit, so is Lose Yourself by Eminem, but Zombie is a fantastic song and so open to interpretation/improvisation. Salvation by The Cranberries is another good one, especially if you cover the Prayer for Cleansing version, 😂😂

[@frequencydependent1826]

Zombie is a much requested song HOWEVER, the song that gets the best reactions 100% of the time is Purple Rain hands down.

[@thecollective1584]

+1 for "Zombie". I was ina hard rock origjnal (mostly) band that did this with a guy singer. One night, we started off proper, but for some reason, without discussing it, all went heavy metal pissed on it. The lead guitarist his the distortion a bit heavier, the drummer abused his set, I dug in a bit more, and the singer got truly pissed on the chorus, the right back to standard on the verse... The audience went apeshit... If done well,you can't miss

[@DanielBobke]

I always find it interesting that the songs that really connect - even with a crowd that is maybe 35 years old or less on average - are as old or older than the crowd is. And the fact that "Zombie" is about the strife in Ireland, it doesn't at first glance make for a song everyone wants to scream out in a party atmosphere. Most of that audience wasn't born when that song was released! Along with Freebird, it just shows that the better songs are of a certain age 😉

If I would have to judge if this is the best cover song, having that soulless crowd as a reference passing the camera, I would say no. You're right on the things you mention Ty, don't get me wrong, it's a good platform to solo and you as a guitar player have fun with it, that's cool.
