"XYU" acoustic Smashing Pumpkins cover

[@toringbearer]

Billy really was a maniac for a few minutes there, hahaha

[@Jamus1975]

Awesome job. Rocked it

[@toringbearer]

Dude saaaaame!!! The first time I heard "XYU" was at night, and for some odd reason "Stumbleine" had already creeped me out a little, and then "XYU" came on and I was like, I can't handle this band. hahaha

[@zalton8543]

I searched for xyu acoustic... I found it. u did justice. very well done.

[@waterpump7961]

This was just beautiful .... 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 keep on smashing babe ...!!!

[@EdCureton]

...an acoustic version of XYU. Not going to lie. When I saw this as a recommendation I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. Wow! This was awesome... ...and hearing BIlly play this in St. Louis was a once in a lifetime experience :)

[@Izekial56]

Wow, once again you're voice is great. I was actually kinda surprised at how well you incorporated the angry snarls into this. Nice. "And in the eyes of the jackal I say ka-boom!" My favorite part of this song and you totally nailed it. Kudos. Keep up the great work! I really enjoy your Pumpkin covers. :)

[@pishauko]

the best XYU cover that I've heard... you are a great musician.

[@DrizztJL]

Frickin awesome, it always brightens my day looking in on your channel. I want to play like that!

[@darthmaul2112]

This is just a fantastic, manic, haunting, and intense version of an underrated Pumpkins song. Amazing job! And your voice fits this song sooooo well. I have a new appreciation for this song thanks to you! Keep up these great covers!

[@gotohellaaron]

This is so great. I learned how to play this from this video.

[@VinceSeagal]

Good job! I like the rage in your voice

[@isobelevans8881]

This is so good, honestly, I've watched a load of your other covers and they're all great, but the passion in you voice is amazing! Can't wait for you next video :)

[@rydidog]

I always wondered if you could do this song on acoustic. Bad ass!

[@onetwothreeman]

Ambitious undertaking. Well done!

[@Deanobucko917]

i was waiting for the 'in the eye of a jackal' line and holy mackeral did you deliver. you screamed it better than he did and much sexier too. this song is one of their more difficult songs and you pulled it off nicely. congrats. loved the sreams and raunchy vocals. did you feel like you got something out of your system when you were done singing it? love your covers, they are the only ones on KZbin i keep coming back for. i want you to know how much i appreciate everything you done

[@sophieisabelclumpkens3900]

Billy can't sing it like this.....perfect!

[@Stickman07792008]

not at all.. I think you have the best sp covers by far. You don't over sing them and you play them straight forward. You are my fav by far!

[@MarMoif]

I love this deeply, thank you so much

[@toringbearer]

Oh, you CAN do anything on acoustic. Whether it still sounds good is a different question ;) thank ya!

[@luisguerra9479]

I loved intro the eyes of the jackal i say kboom part was a weird combination of cutness and some toxic grunge vives love this good job girl

[@merocksy]

That makes sense if you look at the lyrics :P I still think it's one of their most unique songs, just so raw and visceral :D

[@guitaranthony9478]

awesome

[@Stickman07792008]

Can't wait for your next cover! Absolutely Love them.. I actually am recording them and making a cd so I can listen in my car!!

[@Kroller6]

Awesome!!! Love it! You should try Tarantula acoustic next. :)

[@WestGeorgiaTiger]

Amazing!

[@rodriguesgv8639]

Amazing

[@user-nf7ej2sh9q]

billy should do a show with you

[@thewaysofsin]

really good,well done

[@zacharytwiford3403]

When i first listened to Mellon Collie, This song and Tales of a scorched earth scared the shit out of me. I couldn't listen to them at night lol

[@crossfaden777]

Any new covers soon??

[@toringbearer]

Honestly (and this is kinda stupid considering I'm literally just singing to my computer...) I get so nervous when I'm recording videos that I don't know what I got out of my system. But when I'm driving in my car with this song blasting? Yes, I feel worlds better by the time it's over ;)

[@culoculo5226]

:D i love it

[@tocoparacuando]

I Love You, i´m not gonna crack! You have rock in your veins!

[@merocksy]

Nice playing! It took me a while to figure out how to play it the way Billy did on the record, but it's more or less the same as you played. I always wondered what the song could be about, any ideas? :)

[@leroymasochist]

Can you help with a visual? Did you have an angry growl on your face? Or Billy's classic Don't give a S--t sneer?

[@toringbearer]

I heard a rumor a while back that it was about his ex-wife ("Ex Why You?") but I don't really know. It's one of those songs that has more feeling than an actual narrative, I guess :p

[@toringbearer]

Aww, well thank you! :)

[@xmissviolencex]

3 its official.. I love you lmao. ;P great cover

[@madegirl555]

Chords pls 🫶🏼🫶🏼 I'm in love with your cover

[@17comawhite]

You sound like courtney love. I don't like that woman, but I really like your voice. :))

[@kamheilai516]

Nice

[@loetzschmann]

Top!

[@sargati_5022]

Thought it was Courtney love at first 💀

[@purplepuppy2132]

Shit your vocals are great, sounds a lot like Billy haha

[@toringbearer]

lol, I don't sing in front of a mirror silly :p Honestly it was probably a smile, because I think I sound ridiculous lolol
