Popular Post Gordon Comstock Posted May 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) 01. Wasted Years (IRON MAIDEN acoustic cover) 02. Vienna (BILLY JOEL acoustic cover) 03. Every Little Thing (THE POLICE acoustic cover) 04. How Can I Be Sure (THE YOUNG RASCALS acoustic cover) 05. Maybe I'm Amazed (PAUL MCCARTNEY acoustic cover) Quote In 2008 I released the first "Barefoot" acoustic ep, a collection of Bumblefoot songs played as stripped-down acoustic versions. It's a pleasure to now release "Barefoot 2", acoustic EP of cover songs Recorded in April 2020, raw and natural sounding, some of these songs I've played live for years, others being songs I've always loved and wanted to cover Hoping to continue releasing more Barefoot acoustic EPs, stay tuned! You can buy it here: https://bumblefoot.bandcamp.com/album/barefoot-2-acoustic-ep ------------------------------ 1. Sleepwalking (Bumblefoot - acoustic cover) 2. Tiny Dancer (Elton John - acoustic cover) 3. The Day I Tried To Live (Soundgarden - acoustic cover) 4. Only Time Will Tell (Asia - acoustic cover) 5. Come On Eileen (Dexys Midnight Runners - acoustic cover) 6. Tell Me Something Good (Rufus & Chaka Khan - acoustic cover) Quote 'BAREFOOT 3' acoustic ep takes the 'Barefoot' series up a notch, with intricate guitar arrangements, big backing vocals, and drummer Kyle Hughes. "The aim was to capture the spirit each song has," says Ron. "I took every part of every instrument from the songs and translated them to acoustic guitar - from learning Elton John's piano parts to playing through a wah and talkbox for 'Tell Me Something Good', and tapping into the personalities of the different singers - I had so much fun making this album! I hope you all enjoy it, thank you!

Popular Post Towelie Posted May 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2020 Ron is the real deal. Discovering him was the only good thing to come out of GNR from 2009-2020. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Wasted Years is pretty good. I can't stand The Police, but even that one wasn't bad. This is a nice EP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge Police fan either. No one ever covers the only song I truly love by them which is Wrapped Around Your Finger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) The only missing song is Don't Cry, imo. Anyway, that's the only "complaint" from me. This EP is awesome. Edited May 8, 2020 by Sosso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlterL Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Gotta listen to this. I do wish he would have added some of his own songs to it. Damn it I want acoustic clots and Argentina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason Axl never wanted to write music with him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 If there's one thing I'm thankful for during the "new Guns" era, it's that it introduced me to the fabulous music of Buckethead and Bumblefoot. Can't wait to give these a listen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
