Posted on my mom and aunt’s birthday, 2016. Happy Birthday, Mom and Betty! :) They’re not twins, but they’re both born on the same day, but years apart. Cool, huh?
Mom and Betty are lifelong Dallas Cowboys fans, as well as being season-ticket holders. While the Broncos are still my favorite team these days, the Cowboys are my second. With all of the attention the Broncos have gotten lately, I wanted to show the Cowboys some love. I’m aware that this song isn’t about football, but since I don’t take JBJ’s claim of being a “cowboy” at face value, I felt it was open to interpretation. :)
TO F OR F#?: “On a steel horse I ride”--the “I ride” part is a little tricky, because JBJ sings more of an F than an F#, but it’s over a D major chord. I opted to go the full F#, and I think it sounds better (maybe he was going for a more bluesy feel?). I felt good about my choice when I saw a TH-cam clip of JBJ and Richie Sambora performing it live unplugged (a 1/2 step flat), and JBJ chose to sing the major third (equivalent of F# in the original key).
I sang this in a cover band in high school, but someone else played the guitar part. So I finally got around to creating my own solo arrangement of this song, after a kind fan suggested it at the Little Bear a couple of months ago.
About the jeans--two things: 1) I couldn’t resist buying them when I saw that that particular Levi’s style is called “Toto”. :) Probably should have been called “Jovi”--I mean, c’mon. 2) Yes, I’m wearing them in an ironic way, unless you think they’re cool, then I’m just wearing them...unironically(?).

First time watching. Dude,you're good. Was a pleasure to watch.
@@simonpiper4696 ... and to hear 😉
MIke showwwww, I m from Brazil,
What is the intro chord of this song bro
That guitar sounds absolutely glorious
+MOONENSTEIN you are absolutely right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
It does and us more mortals I would play this with 6-string with chorus and reverb maybe some delay. 12-string is a beast to tame but it sounds divine.
best cover artist on youtube, period.
Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi all in one....incredible
Agreed...
This guy is incredible!!!! What a fucking voice!!!!
100%
Concordo
Is there any song this man can't do as good or better than the original? Jesus, what talent.
That 12 string guitar sounds amazing.
That is, quite simply, the best cover of this song I've ever heard and watched. Maximum respect.
This guy is insane! Can't stop watching his covers
Literally the best cover artist I’ve ever seen. He can sing anything 🙌
I always love the sound of a 12 string!
you've seen a million faces - and you rocked them all! ^_^
It’ll be fun when this video hits a million views, so I can say I’ve seen a million faces. OK, should probably subtract any down votes, since I clearly didn’t rock them. And also any repeat views, since it’s probably supposed to be a million unique faces. Man, this math is getting complicated. Let’s say when I get to maybe 1.2 million views, that by then I’ve probably seen a million unique faces, allowing for a healthy percentage of repeat viewers. And let’s be fair-I’ve rocked at least a vast majority of them (minus the aforementioned down votes). Someone please check my math. Or if you’re British, my maths. I mean, I’ll never have the perfect batting average of Jon Bon Jovi, rocking every single one of his faces like that. Man, that’s some serious face rocking. 100%. Just nailed it. Something to aspire to!
The downvotes may be considered misclicks :)
I think he's Rocking Everybody watching on TH-cam.
He sure did Rock me!!!!!!!!!!
Dude this is by far the best wanted dead or alive cover I have heard.
What a voice!!!!
Dude your vocals are dead on. Singing Jon and Richie's parts at the same time. Yep. Somebody give this guy a record deal.
By far my most favorite rock tune of all time. It stands in class all by itself. I play it on guitar guitar every single day. Thanks God for the music!!!!!!!!!
Mike ...one of your best
Man this guy can sing ANYTHING!
Mike, I've started taking vocal lessons recently and something I hear IMMEDIATELY is how you sing into your mask and get that voice to resonate in exactly the way my teacher is helping me to acheive. I'm hoping that one day I'll be as skilled a singer as you!
If there was any justice in this world you would have 20m subscribers and 200m hits. A person who can both sing and play as well as you is extremely rare. Thank you and please, please continue to entertain us on here.
Mike plays and sings with that confidence... The confidence many have trouble with that hurts the song... The power and passion is absolutely A1....
Excellent. Mr. Maase
When i cant sleep and iam depressed i listend to you! Youre voice is so amazing!
+Lillyy Glad to hear it helps, Lillyy. Sleep well.
+Mike Masse thanks!!
God bless you!
Mike has rocked many faces, including mine, for years! You're still the man, Mike!
When people show videos of song covers on TH-cam that impress them, I always ask if they've heard of Mike Masse. If they haven't, I do a "hold my beer and watch this" sort of thing and they become a fan before the first video we watch is over.
What a belter of a cover mike,and guitarist
Mike is like a good old wine,the older the better...His musical skills are respectable,every honor Mikey and many greetings from Macedonia,Balkan Peninsula
Oh man that Guild 12 string is absolutely beautiful. Great job Mike, you are absolutely amazing.
Thoroughly awesome, just so good.
Dude. That guitar sounds FANFREAKINGTASTIC. And the vocals.. dayummmmm.
Perfect cover, hi from to Turkey
I watched your videos years ago and totally lost touch. Just stumbled back to you tonight while getting out videos. Keep up the good work in the studio, and whatever you’ve been doing to get in better shape. You’re inspiring
Awesome, Mr. Massé!!! Perfect as ever!!! Thank you for sharing your talent!!!! Greetings from Brazil!!!
Wow wow wow. Just can't get enough. Great choices and mixing. Please keep making awesome music.
Wow that rocks
Marvelous,not even has sung it unplugged at such high tune or pitch!
I love the 12 strings, they give the full reverb effect on this song
brilliant simply brilliant what a voice.
that voice!!! wow
These guys kill it every damn song!! They just do
You are my "go-to" TH-cam musician when I need cheering up. You, sir, rock.
Outstanding!
Absolutely gobsmacked!
How the hell you can keep turning out renditions of such quality is totally beyond me Mike!.
So looking forward to seeing you play live in London. 01/04/2016 can not come quick enough!

Wow! That's gotta be the best cover of that classic ever! Absolutely brilliant from start to finish.. 👌

I dont know wether im supposed to be amazed by the great sounding guitar or the exceptional vocal !!!!
Your voice always brings me joy, man. Love your covers bruhbruh!
Amazing Vocalist, and musician
I'm Brazilian and a big fan of your work. Hugs
I don't know what more impressive, what you've done with your music or what you've done with your body. You look fantastic. Someday a short video on your diet and exercise regimen might save a few lives of your TH-cam followers. Great cover.
The voice, the style, the talent. No further discussion.
Richie and Jon would be proud. Wow!!
Or envious lol..
...ohhhh man...it was the best one performance I've seen on TH-cam.
Congratulations from Sao Paulo-Brazil.
First time visitor. I see you do it with a feel. Incredible is what I can say. No other way one could have done justice to this anthem.🙏👍🇮🇳 Love from india
Great Job as always Mike! I grew up on these great songs as well, brings back great memories of high school and getting my driver's license, and cranking it up in the car! Cheers! and keep doing what you love to do!
So many of your vidz are excellent. I cannot pick a favorite. I have not even watched tham all. But his one is up there.
Probably the best cover of this song I've seen. Always play along.
Mike, I just found you. That was an amazing version of this difficult song! As a guitar player I massively respect you. Don't listen to any BS from negative people on here, you're the real deal.
one of the best bon jovi songs performed by one of the best cover artist imho ! you rock mike ! greetings from the netherlands
U got "it" Mike. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.
What can I say ! The sound of that guitar is amazing, and your voice is off the scale.
Not many can nail that song , but you did and more.
I got really excited when I saw that you had posted a new video because I really like this song! This was very wonderful! Your videos never cease to amaze me
Just... WOW!
Mike, you rock now and forever. Mad props from NOLA.
Always brings a smile to me when you upload a new video. An extremely talented musician with a perfect voice which I am very jealous of!
Incredible performance!
Hell of a cover man, one of the best I’ve ever seen. Cheers from Buenos Aires
Mike having to go almost to the top of his vocal abilities says a lot about Bon Jovi and this song.
Great Song,great singer and a dream Guitar!
What an amazing performance and performer! This is perfectionism incarnated and respect for the audience in every aspect through the offering of a top class act. This is quality!
Fantastic
Simply brilliant.
Simply beautiful
You Hit that on the spot
deserves more views
Yet another truly FANTASTIC job. Every single song just impresses me a bit more. Thank you!
LOVE the old Westerly Guilds! Great job as always Mike!
You went for the high harmony...AND NAILED IT!!!
In my opinion, you have my favorite guitar accompaniment to this song, well done.
I am very particular about covers of this song and this is one of the best I’ve heard, rivaling Jon and Ritchie in their 1980’s performance of this song. I recently found your covers and they are all stellar. Great job!
Fantastic performance in London, Mike. Do this one next time!
This is the most amazing acoustic cover I've ever heard.
I think this is the best cover of "Wanted dead or alive" I've ever heard!
Absolutely fantastic outstanding amazing
Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Don't stop! This is phenomenal! Shared, liked! Very good!
Greetings from Scotland... That guitar, what a sound

Mike, just saw this. Excellent cover. Perfect as far as I can tell. It's obvious that you are an experienced performer and a talented musician. Keep 'em coming! My son loves guitar and he's fascinated by covers like yours.

You kill that !! So outstanding
Wow! What a thrill it must be to just pick up this guitar and play and sing this song. Nailed it.

This guy is living the song.

4yrs old and still the best cover to date of this Bon Jovi classic.
Beautiful tenor voice!
Splendid, wonderful
Sir that was amazing playing and singing WOW!!! Can't wait to see more of your performances.
I just found my inspiration as a beginning singer/guitarist. Amazing.
I like just about all your covers but this is my favorite. Your guitar playing makes me want to throw mine away. Lol. Just ungodly talent. Got off Facebook but following you here on TH-cam. Happy Holidays Mike. Wish I had one quarter of your ability. 👍
