@@brandonvladovic4194 I was trying to think what tv show this was from.. Yes, it was the final scene of Breaking Bad and Walt's final demise. Such a great song and cover by Russ.
First thing......Awesome Job on the recreation of this incredible song! Second......I hope you can also agree that how Badfinger was RAILROADED on EVERYTHING they did while in the music industry. How did that even happen being so close to The Beatles? How could McCartney/Lennon/Harrison/Starr not pull these guys aside and advise them how to enter into a fair Management Deal? It has to be the worst treatment of a band in the history of the music buisness. Such a great group that never was able to reach the height of their potential due to such evil criminal buisness associates and You would think that working closely with THE BEATLES that something like that could never ever happen. BTW, love the cool Hamer guitar you use to play the intro! I am looking forward to you recording some more Badfinger songs for the channel.
Oh, I agree James...Stan Polly really screwed these guys over, big time. And yes, it's hard to believe that none of the fab four didn't step up and give them some direction. If only Ham and Evans had stuck it out. Thanks so much for listening!
The Beatles were having their own problems at the time with Epstein dying and the Con Merchant Allen Klein taking over plus resentment within the group
Holy moly, that's all I can say, Fantastic job. The instrumentation is terrific,; plus, this is not an easy song to sing, and you nailed it. Congratulations!
I came here to learn the vocal harmonies. This was more than I bargained for! Nice job, Russ! And look at that room full of gear behind you -- you're living the dream!
Wow, I just found you. Your vids are astounding ! ! ! I'm 68 years old and retired from gigging in 2020. Haven't picked up the guitars much since. Now I have a reunion jam coming up and I was scrambling for help on the Ventura Highway leads. And then I found your channel and it's just lovely and inspiring. Thank you ! ! ! Baby Blue Blue me away !
Another knockout Russ! I LOVE discovering people like you. You rock and seem like a great human to be boot - if I can judge you by your musical taste and talent.
Awesome in everything, the rhythm is great, the instrumental part is literally perfect and the vocal is more than appropriate, I love this song and this dude made an optimal job, the editing also is perfectly timed, the only question is: "How can this video have less than 78k views?" My strong congrats for your cover.
Absolutely fabulous cover Russ. What a great song, and you did it proud. I also use a capo as the rhythm guitarist in our cover band on this song. Keep on rocking buddy!
Excellent job! You are the very first person to get the rhythm guitar part right from the many cover bands that I've heard play this song. It's the following chord to the D-flat minor part just as the lyric goes "special love I had for you."
I really don't know much about the artist....but every time I listen this song... I literally can visualise those scenes where Walter white is laying on the ground...♥️♥️♥️
This was absolutely the best cover I’ve ever heard of this song. Of course, I’ve always been a huge Badfinger fan!! You sir, laid it down perfectly. Wow….
Nice production from top to bottom. I do this sort of thing from time to time, and it's quite spiritual - the personal connection to music and playing instruments. I often lament that music has become so sterile, only to be purchased in sanitary packaging. I so love to play and see others play. I know yo know what I mean.
Great cover i liked it i was good at it
Many thanks!
You did it for you
Can I get some crystal, Walt?

Waltuh
Good memories listening to this song on my childhood transistor radio!
This cover is 99.1% pure.
thanks so much....I appreciate it!
nearly more pure than waltuhs mephanthedamen
So...go ahead and post your performance! SMH

Thanks again!
As someone who recently finished breaking bad and heard this song, hearing this was like hearing it all over again for the first time
Thanks so much for listening!
I just finished breaking bad today
@@stahl_rosen today, 1 year ago
So what exactly is "breaking bad"? I think I must be living under a rock or something.
@@jeffroutledge9153 tv series
Seems this shows up in my feed every year. So I feel compelled to comment. I still thin’ this is on of the best covers of any song on TH-cam.
This song is like wine, i will never get tired of it🙂
Thanks for listening!
Nice, but don't drink alcohol. It will kill you xd
@@acordybs Show us the way to the next whiskey bar
@@arcynic5404 Seriously. It's a poison. Don't be dumb. But I know most people don't listen and they want to die, so...
OMG... you are a master!!
Many thanks; I appreciate it!
Ahh, there it is - the long awaited cover of Badfinger's best known song. 👍
Thanks much for listening!
Great job covering this song. Brought a tear to my eye thinking about Heisenberg dying in the Final scene of Breaking Bad.
well done
Great talent and video editing! Rock on brother!

Another knockout Russ! I LOVE discovering people like you. You rock and seem like a great human to be boot - if I can judge you by your musical taste and talent.
Wow, great cover! And your voice is really close to Pete Ham's warm tone! Love it!

One of my all time favorite songs; and you played all the parts to perfection! 😊
Thanks a million...I appreciate it!
This cover is excellent, I especially liked the vocals. A good vocal harmony never gets old, and you nailed this one!

BB DIDN'T bring me hear...my '70's adolescent past did.
I have no musical knowledge or ability, but I find this amazing, almost mesmerizing!
I appreciate it very much!
Excellent job! You are the very first person to get the rhythm guitar part right from the many cover bands that I've heard play this song. It's the following chord to the D-flat minor part just as the lyric goes "special love I had for you."

Great tune, well done. Dude, I love that sunburst Hamer!
Oh my..you are so good. Just like listening to Badfinger. You are shared and on my list. Great music sir.
Wow, thank you! I appreciate it so much!
Thanks for reminding us of another song we have to be grateful to Todd Rundgren for! Great cover as usual, thanks very much.
My pleasure! Thanks so much!
I despise people with that much talent!
That said, excellent work!
LOL...many thanks!
Great job blending tracks
Simply incredible! I’ll be watching this again and again.

I really don't know much about the artist....but every time I listen this song... I literally can visualise those scenes where Walter white is laying on the ground...♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for listening!
The real story of the man who actually wrote this song is FAR more tragic than any TV show.
Fantastic rendition of a super song!
Thanks so much!
Fabulous work. At first I was thinking, "Hey, these guys are really excellent!" Then I took a closer look!
Thank you so much...glad you enjoyed it!
Very good job on a truly great classic, very talented sir!
Thanks a ton!
And now "You are Badfinger" Baby Blues my favorite. ..
Mine, too! Thanks!
Again you nail Pete ham’s inflection/feeling in the lyrics. Well done
Thanks so much; I appreciate it!
Come ON man!!!
This recreation is genius Russ! ... even if your drummer got anxious and split for a cocktail a bit early :) Awesome stuff!
Thanks, Joe! Yeah, I look back and the schmuck has already left the building....I swear, you can't count on anyone these days.
This was perfectly done! I'm very impressed! Well done!

Great song, You nailed it Bro, well done!
Great Performance...wow...great Talent.Enjoyed, the performance. Karen, NC, USA
Thanks a ton; I appreciate it!
Nice production from top to bottom. I do this sort of thing from time to time, and it's quite spiritual - the personal connection to music and playing instruments. I often lament that music has become so sterile, only to be purchased in sanitary packaging. I so love to play and see others play. I know yo know what I mean.
Yes, I know what you mean. Thanks so much!
What a fine cover and a superb tribute!
Excellent cover! So sad what happened to Badfinger
Thanks Jeff. Yeah, it really is tragic.
What happened?
Great cover! I listen it again and again.
This cover is amazing ! Your vocals are really really good
Beautiful!! ❤️
Thanks Dina....much appreciated!
What an amazing cover! This is seriously good Russ
Many thanks!
amazing work! I'd bet that playing this on a plane would be the danger, pilot would bang his head too hard to see the sky.
LOL...thanks so much!
Excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks!!
Fantastic! And you make it look so easy……and I know it is far from it! Thank you for sharing your talent!
You are so welcome! Thanks so much!
