If you ever want to try something cool listen to the original Savior by rise against with headphones and only put on/in the right ear. The first 20 seconds are just him singing without the music. It feels like hes just singing for you. I found it pretty awesome :)
Thank me later th-cam.com/video/InMJDdzQcJE/w-d-xo.html there are some vocal only versions of Rise Against and Linkin Park, at least thats what i know off
I remember seeing your cover 5 years ago and I absolutely fell in love with your play style. I remember watching it over and over again while I went through scales and warm ups as inspiration to keep practicing. It’s really cool to see how your style has the same vigor it did before, but how it has also matured. There were definitely times in the second play through where you choose not to play a flashy solo and instead allowed your playing to collaborate with the music as a whole, which in turn showcased the music and its nuances very well. I absolutely loved the first cover but as a musician, I appreciate the second one a lot more and I think you should be really proud of it. You took an awesome song and found the balance between making it your own and not losing the original character of the song, which is super cool to see.
Hi Cole. I think I finally understand what you meant by adding to the musical experience. I heard this concept a bit differently in an interview of Charlie McCoy, a harmonica player from Nashville. He said that new players have to understand that less is more, and narrated a story from his recording past. The soundman would especially turn his volume down when he played his solos, because they didnt add to the experience. McCoy said that I ll play less, but when I play, its gonna be so damn good that it will add to the song. I feel that you have embodied the same idea with this version. Adding melodic sounding part was a welcome addition, as well as those high notes. This song made me subscribe to you 4 years earlier, and today I am very happy that I did!
First off I wanna say I'm a huge fan and enjoy all your covers. Between you and a old roommate/role model of mine inspired me to get back into playing. Having said that you have a unique style that is one of a kind and I wanna play a song/make one with you! Please message me it would mean a lot to me!
That moment when you listen to the OG song on Spotify and go "wait, where are those sick guitar riffs?" and then remember that you're so used to Cole Rolland's version that you pause the OG and come and watch this video.
As a native Chicagoan, I can honestly say that Rise Against are the best thing to come out of the Windy City since deep dish pizza. You nailed this one brother 🤘
Bring back the guitar remixes my man 🙌 that shit was my jam. Like your earlier remix of Savior, by far one of the best videos on your channel. Keep up the good work homie!
Yes I loved the other remix.. I downloaded the other version as MP3 and when the video was playing I remembered the other version :/ I preferred by far the other one
My favourite artist covering my all time favourite song for the second time? Count me the fuck in! Your tone in this version sounds fucking brilliant man! Blew me away as standard! Absolute goals.
Okay, I need to leave a comment here, although I very seldom do so. First of all, you are an insanely talented guitarist and the way you arrange songs makes you a great musician in general. I got to know you through your joint works with Lauren Babic (whom I've been following for more than 4 or 5 years now). I love most of the songs you cover and at this point, I'm not sure whether or not you take requests but I have one. Since you covered Through The Fire & Flames it shouldn't be the hardest challenge ever for you, but it's definitely no easy song : Children Of Bodom - Kissing the Shadows. When you search for that song's guitar covers here on TH-cam, there are almost only pretty low quality covers, save for one. It's the one with the most views, by a guy named metalsuki. Now that cover is an old school cover from 8 years ago (!!!), meaning with crappy sound and camera BUT ALSO something I never see in your covers (and would make it a lot harder for you haha), the whole thing is in one take. No fancy transitions or editing. I'd absolutely love to see YOUR one take guitar cover of that song. And I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one. Good luck if you actually try this :)
Bro! Just what I just whitnessed right now? You just improved an already amazing song in a way I didnt think it was posible! Thank you for sharing this amazing talent ❤
Preferred the original cover you did of this one, tbh. I hate being negative (because I can't do any of the insane guitar work that you do), but if you're going to do covers, I miss when you would put a lot of thought into making them different and stand out. Adding in your own lead guitar with interesting new takes on instrumental harmonies(Original Savior, Faint, Smooth Criminal) or choosing a song I wouldn't expect to get rocked out (Hello, Everytime We Touch, Stay The Night). It seems like lately you're just copying rock songs with minor tweaks instead of making them your own. Just my two cents. I still subscribe and will be buying your next album as well. Take care man.
It is so cool to me that the little solo over the last chorus is… it’s stupidly simple like maybe 5-7 notes total lol but it adds soooooo much! That’s insane.

Love your insights at the end. Being here since forever and your new approach is really good. Every time I play a video, it comes with the question of guessing at which minute you will add something that is not in the original song which is fun!
Gotta say, Cole. I like the improvisation on the lead parts. That's actually something that I really like to do, improvise my own solos to make the cover stand out as mine. Fantastic job, dude!
I remember when you dropped your first Savior cover!! I still to this day here your version of this song every time it comes on the radio, to be honest i like the first one better!
Super awesome to see a remastered version of the first video I ever saw of yours! Haven't stopped watching since! I love the different approach you took with it, with a couple call backs to the original (Sick bend into final chorus, etc.) Love it, man!
I recognized the solo was similar to your remix of this song way back when. It's nuts to see how much you've improved with quality of videos, and just quality of playing.
Dig the updated cover but I like your older one more Update: after finishing the video and hearing why you chose to do what you did with the song I can definitely respect that choice. Definitely good choice on your part cole. I love it.
I'm an absolute fan of your old version, I think I still prefer it to this one, but I see the effort you put in musicality and melody ratter than shredding, this is super cool !
thank you for taking my request! My band is very inspired because of you, I can't wait to hear more from you. Oh and sometime in the future, expect to hear from us! ~ZBK
Ya man! I had it pretty much figured that you had evolved your approach to the music in a much more mature tune to not over-power the music, just energize and 'tickle it happier' so-to-speak. I love the approach. Sometimes I wish you added a little more though, some songs need it!
This is a masterpiece! You did exactly what you set out to do, take an already amazing song and make it better! Your additions were incredible. Keep up the great work!
Rise Against pulled off something awesome with this song. Every band has those few songs that truly embody what the band represents and sounds like, Saviour is definitely one of those songs. Fuckin' badass cover of a fuckin' badass song
SAVIOR. 🔥
Hello sir!
Cole Rolland HELL YEAHHHH!!
I like it man!!!
DUUUUUUDEEE I love this band! Didn't think you listened to them 😂💪
Wunderlich Drums He's done this cover previously :P Check out his old cover th-cam.com/video/ew3NvxfJ-qw/w-d-xo.html

I just recently found this out and its dope af
laas lassen Yeah I discovered that on my own. It was cool!

Thank me later
th-cam.com/video/InMJDdzQcJE/w-d-xo.html
there are some vocal only versions of Rise Against and Linkin Park, at least thats what i know off
3:27 is like a drug for me, I became addicted to that solo man, so simple but powerful at the same time... just perfect
It’s crazy how powerful vibrations can be
Man if I ever start playing guitar it will be due to this guy's influence. Dude's a legend.
Insane
My favourite youtuber uploading a cover of my favourite song. That made my whole month.

Sounds great man!! Crazy high note at 03:29!🤘
So clean
That solo had me speechless 🤣🤣😱😱😱 great job dude 🤟🔥🔥
Dude thanks! Way different than the other version but I had to mix it up
yeah sounds so good!
II Illusiion II u
@@ColeRolland U did a great job.. It just fits. :)
The fact that he can get so close to sounding like the actual guitar track is absurd.
Was just thinking the same thing.
Isn't that hard for Rise Against stuff .. but yeah I got just the same gear as RA lol
That moment when you listen to the OG song on Spotify and go "wait, where are those sick guitar riffs?" and then remember that you're so used to Cole Rolland's version that you pause the OG and come and watch this video.
I literally just felt my actual SOUL.
GOOD FUCKING JOB!!
As a native Chicagoan, I can honestly say that Rise Against are the best thing to come out of the Windy City since deep dish pizza. You nailed this one brother 🤘
They’re great!
Ngl pretty happy I forgot about this song, cause your cover made me fall in love with it all over again. Props dude.
3:27 literally earned a sub brother that shit was legendary - words cant explain the power behind that string bend
Bring back the guitar remixes my man 🙌 that shit was my jam. Like your earlier remix of Savior, by far one of the best videos on your channel. Keep up the good work homie!
Dude I appreciate that! You've been around for a long time. Listen to my outro talking section at the end :)
Yes I loved the other remix.. I downloaded the other version as MP3 and when the video was playing I remembered the other version :/ I preferred by far the other one
I honestly didn't think this song could sound any better and low and behold you make a video proving me wrong.
Thank you!
Cool lick at 1:54, gonna always play it that way now 😁
Everyone in the room made the Steve Vai face on the high notes!! Eargasm. The short wait was worth it.
😎😎
3:37 man look at those strings BEND!
@3:25 I swear it gave me chills
once again music bring us all together
My favourite artist covering my all time favourite song for the second time? Count me the fuck in! Your tone in this version sounds fucking brilliant man! Blew me away as standard! Absolute goals.
So glad you liked it man! Get ready for a new original song next
Cole Rolland HELL FREAKIN YES!
I am starting to like more this version than the original. Keep up the good work Cole!
Those improvised solos are fucking epic dude. Doesn’t take away from it but adds to it immensely. New subscriber for sure.
Bullet For My Valentine - Hearts Burst Into Fire!!
That's a good one great piece of music there
Oh my freaking god. Couldnt bielieve this song can sound any better. But daaaaaamn boy you rock it to a whole new level. Dooooope !!!!
Thank you!

I honestly agree, but everyone has a different opinion!
@@ColeRolland don't get me wrong the last one was great too but this is just insane...

Here before 50 views
Beast O Phantom even me
🖤
Damm dude...that is freakin awesome!!! At 48yrs old I am just starting to learn how to play, hopefully one day i am able to do this song lol
I would pay money to see Hetfield downstroke that verse lol
Cole. Dude. My mind is actually blown. You are so incredibly talented.
Thank you:)
Hey cole lately you have lowered the intensity of your videos this great cover but I personally liked it much more than you did before
Agreed! Watch the talking section at the end :)
Amazing cover of one of my favorite songs. Well done, Cole!! The improvisations you inserted give me goosebumps in the best way

Listen to the talking section at the end of this video where I explain my process and approach
This helps. Sorry for the premature opinions!
It is so cool to me that the little solo over the last chorus is… it’s stupidly simple like maybe 5-7 notes total lol but it adds soooooo much! That’s insane.
Quiet part at the end is awesome

Love hearing that you enjoyed that! That's important to me
Any time someone asks who my favorite guitarists are my answer is, and forever will be the same... Synyster Gates and Cole Rolland. Keep it up man!
Dude Im honored.
3:27 - I'm done :O amazing cover and song btw!
Another banger from the man! Wicked solo dude, my ears have never felt so happy!
😎👊🏻
bro u , ur stule,ur guitar,ur background everthing is superb
Thanks!
That closing. Wow.
I had to like this before i even heard anything. Just because of Rise Against and you. Yesssssss.
:)
He totally kill the song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......
Great job CR
The solo was the best part. Well done Cole
Tasteful!
Gotta say, Cole. I like the improvisation on the lead parts. That's actually something that I really like to do, improvise my own solos to make the cover stand out as mine. Fantastic job, dude!
Hell yeah man!
I thought there was no way I would like it better than your original cover but I did. You have insane skill man
Thank you
Oh my god, this song makes memories flood back. I absolutely love this song, and your rendition is amazing man.
Great cover. That Kiesel is sick . You nailed it.
Mind blowing!! I enjoyed every single note🎵🎸💙
I remember when you dropped your first Savior cover!! I still to this day here your version of this song every time it comes on the radio, to be honest i like the first one better!
Super cool to hear that! Now you have both
Intro was like a gentleman 👌👌
:)
Brings back so much memories I use to love rise against
Thanks!
Best cover ever
Man your covers of Rise Against are spot on, they need to have you as a session guitarist in the least!
Absolutely OUTSTANDING! Bravo man.
thanks!!
Dude... you just blew me away. I’m always nervous to watch covers of this since it’s my favorite song, but you killed it! Good job!
Dude thanks! I didn't want to add too much and take away from it
Super awesome to see a remastered version of the first video I ever saw of yours! Haven't stopped watching since! I love the different approach you took with it, with a couple call backs to the original (Sick bend into final chorus, etc.) Love it, man!

I recognized the solo was similar to your remix of this song way back when. It's nuts to see how much you've improved with quality of videos, and just quality of playing.
So sick that you remember that
ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!
I think my room caught fire this was so lit. LOVE IT!
The most impressive part is nailing that tone! Great playing, too.
Dig the updated cover but I like your older one more
Update: after finishing the video and hearing why you chose to do what you did with the song I can definitely respect that choice. Definitely good choice on your part cole. I love it.
Thanks!
I think I appreciate the song more since seeing how much more went into the guitar portion than I ever realized. Thank you very much.
I'm an absolute fan of your old version, I think I still prefer it to this one, but I see the effort you put in musicality and melody ratter than shredding, this is super cool !
I appreciate this!
Your stuff never ceases to inspire me.
💙
Now this is something to wake up too! I love this song. Yes!
YES
Best part ever 3:26 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

LOVEEEEEE ME SOME RISE AGAINST!!!!!!!
This made my day.. what a "Savior" :)
what a dad joke haha

I love his song. Great job with this. I love when songs take a pause and then jump straight into it like this song does.
It's been over five years since you did your old cover of this song. Damn, that feels long ago. Still, your new cover is great!
How crazy is that.
And here I was thinking, this song couldn't get any better... silly me. Amazing cover, man, of one of my favorite songs.
This is a masterpiece! You did exactly what you set out to do, take an already amazing song and make it better! Your additions were incredible. Keep up the great work!

Love playing these! My interpretation has changed a lot.
This video just showed up in my feed.
I'm glad it did.
As a big Rise Against fan, I'm really impressed. Wish I could play guitar as good as you!
Thank you man!
Omg another one of my favorite songs keep on rocking
Thank you
