Happy to see I'm not the only one to realize the many ways that metal techniques can be applied to a number of different genres of music. Sounds awesome!
Awesome!!! Your 'Leppardizing' Covers never fail to impress as Hysteria is my all time favorite Album (followed by Adrenalize and then Pyromania) and your technique of adding that style to pop songs is just stellar. Can't wait to see which song you choose for your next installment!
Dude this is coming from a genx, this is absolutely bad a** ,made the hair on my arms stand up and I bet Steve winwood would let you play for him in concert 🤟🤙💪✌❤🌏Generation X 🤙🤗
I agree with your description, same version I first heard too back in '87 playing over the PA at the supermarket where I worked as a 16 year old. Great memories. Great song choice. Love it.
I wonder if Steve Winwood would consider this song to be one of his favorites because I know it’s one of my personal favorite songs your guitar work is brilliant and awesome I enjoy your videos
I saw him live a few years back and he pretty much skipped all of his solo material live. I am well aware of the rich career he had in the beginning and enjoy a lot of that too. But he didn't play Valerie, The Finer Things, Roll With It or Don't You Know What the Night Can Do?
Before seeing this video I hadn't noticed that this beautiful song contains such a nice and articulate guitar line. I'll try to play it too, even if not so well.
This is the greatest rendition of this song I've ever heard...how could u make the original better? Your guitar work, and this is a hell of a mix also, my lord...Bravo dude
Always the best - still would love to see you do a guitar cover of Michael W Smith’s “Place In This World”…….I watched a couple of covers on TH-cam of said song and I know that you be the best!
bwm5150 you've done it again! You somehow manage to take many of my favorite songs that popular culture has largely forgotten (The One and Only - Chesney Hawkes, Good for Me - Amy Grant, just to name a couple) and make me fall in love with them all over again. Dig your sound and your taste! Always looking forward to the next song you revamp : )
Odd! I’ve been obsessed with this song the last 3 days and I just saw your video. The leopard style covers are 🔥 🤙🏻 killed the solo! Dare I say as good as the original keyboard. Saludos de Mexico 🇲🇽
Old Stevie Winwood!!! Just listened to Roll With It the other day but this is BA. Damn it if I didn't have to go listen to another girl's name song in Donny Iris and Ah Leah after this tho 😂👍💪🤘🍻
Man, I was just listening to this song (and exact version) by pure hazard and discovered there was a TOTP appearance of Steve Winwood lol. Scrolled down and saw "Steve Winwood - Valerie - '87 Remix (Leppardized Guitar Cover)" 20 hours ago XD Great job as always, love your covers : ) RR.

Um, NAILED IT! That was F'n great man!
this dude deserves more views
Now we understand why this version reached the top 10 in '87.
I love your leopardozed versions of songs. Very inspiring .
One of the all-time classic feel-good songs. Just love it with this guitar overlay. Steve Winwood is one of the UK's music treasures.
