Marc Martel - Bad (U2 Cover)

- I was quite late to the U2 game, as seems to be the trend in my history with the world’s greatest rock bands. It was the late nineties before I dove headlong into The Joshua Tree, the album by which I measure every other U2 album. Soon after that, they released All That You Can’t Leave Behind, forever sealing the deal for me as a U2 fanboy. Right around that time, my friend Jason Germain and I were forming a band of our own in Caronport, Saskatchewan, to take a bunch of songs we’d written and recorded, on the road. We really wanted to be a five-piece, so that someone could be the electric guitar expert, as neither Jason or I were great at it. Before we thought better of the idea, ultimately agreeing four members was plenty, I vividly remember auditioning one steely-eyed guitarist from our college, and being completely enamored with his ability to reproduce The Edge’s angelic sounds with his array of effects pedals. We were setting up for rehearsal when he started playing the riff from “Bad,” and I thought, “Wow, that’s amazing! This is our guy!” Turns out, he had other plans for his life than riding a fifteen-passenger into the perilous unknown with four other barely-adults. Either way, this one goes out to Ben Davidson, wherever you are. Hope you’re doing well, man.

That’s my kick-ass nephew right there people.
Always good.
Your nephew is awesome. Please let him know that for us!
How much I would like your voice even for just one day. I'd sing until I passed out.
Well....I'm not sleeping myself now....gotta listen to this at least 25 more times.....
This song will forever bring back that image of U2 on the Live-Aid Stage that 90-something hot July afternoon. As usual, Marc kills. :)
Freddie Mercury singing U2. Great!!! Your voice is a king of magic
He sounds so much like Bono, but better.
@@koljarzg inded!
@@koljarzg Bono at that time was incredibly powerfull. Listen to BAD at live 8 or 1986-06-15 - East Rutherford.
Totaly agree, magic and amazing ! A gift this man ❤
Yesssss 👏
Brazil.
Marc + Acoustic guitar + Amplifier delay effect equals U2's orginal.
Wow Marc the voice you have is a god's gift, Sound like Freddie and with this U2 song my song its great, my hart is crying so good performens. A great verry great singer and great guitar and piano player a verry gifted men you are Marc. Greetings from a great fan from Holland.
Amazing !
Please...
Do more U2 covers !!!
How Freddie would sing U2 😉
Absolutely amazing job, Marc ! Such a pleasure listening you
Nothing less than awesome!
Yet some notes sound as if Freddie is singing U2😉
This is incredible. Marc is just simply amazing with every song he sings. SERIOUSLY TALENTED
Bono: I didn't know Freddie sang our song.
Marc: Nope it's me
Absolutely crushed it!
This guy can sing the telephone book!!!
WOW! Your voice is perfect for both Queen ANDU2 songs! Kind of sounds like Bono and Freddie’s voice blended together!
Fabulous! Brought me right back to my first time listening to The Joshua Tree.
holy shit!!!!!! you sound exactly like Bono. nicely done, my favorite U2 song.
Thank you for covering one of my favorites from U2. 😊
Freddie! Are you again with us? WOW THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
Great fan, Cantidio Pimentel de Santa Maria RS -brasil
One of U2s songs that I love and you did it great. Would love to hear more and maybe INXS.
Excellent! I love your queen covers, but it's also great to see you do my favorite band!!
Soooooooo awesome!! I dream of seeing Marc Martel live one day soon! ❤️
Omg, so much talent in one person.
Bravissimo Marc!!! Ho aggiunto questa meravigliosa cover alla lista dei miei preferiti perchè è eseguita in modo impeccabile oltre che con grande eleganza
I was following you from facebook and then on youtube it is a great honor to listen to you every day
As always you did n amazing job! God Bless!
There are no words...this is perfectly expressed
I hope you feel as much joy in doing that as we all do in listening to it. But of course, for it to be like this, you must ...
How does one man have so much talent? What a gift!
Magnificent.
Gizzzz, the control of voice… amazing
Unbelievable good! You got a magic voice! King!
Very underrated U2 song. Brilliantly covered as always by Mr Martel
Totally not underrated in the slightest. In fact it’s highly rated.
One of my favourite U2 songs from back in the 80's....... great choice to sing and great job Marc.
Love it! I’ll be seeing Mark again for the Ultimate Queen Celebration in NJ on July 23! Can’t wait! Saw him last yr and wow just wow what an excellent show!! Actually met him after the show and got his autograph. Super nice guy! 😘❤️
Maybe with Ultimate Queen Celebration? I don't know if the Queen Extravaganza is touring in the USA this year.
@@ThatllShowEm I stand corrected thanks!
@@cindygipple5571 Whew! There has been some confusion with which band Marc is touring with. Queen Extravaganza was touring in Europe, and some of the dates overlap with what's on his website... And not with the same band, or in the same city. I can't imagine how it would feel to go to a show only to figure out it was a different Queen tribute band.
I’m seeing him live next week on May 7th at Lynn Massachusetts
@@ThatllShowEm your right I agree and corrected my comment. I do thank you though for catching that! 😘
So much talent in one body. Truly a blessing to have you with us.
Absolutely amazing so incredible always thanku so much love and God bless x
Marc this is a gift! So this is what Bad sung by Freddie would've sounded like. Wow!
tears in my eyes
I’m learning this song currently - this was truly mesmerizing
Amazing performance.
An incredibly difficult song to sing to you did it brilliantly.
There's no way to be in U2 concert and not cry to this song! Great cover btw
Excellent version
I play this song and know that staying in perfect time with delayed dotted 8th notes is critical to the sound....I can't imagine singing expertly in addition to that. Amazing job, Marc. Well done.
I've been watching it trying to figure out how he did it!
Practice! U2 have been doing it perfectly for decades
People have no clue what a feat this is.
I bet he practices with a metronome.
Have you heard him sing Queen's The Prophet's Song? Impeccable timing is of most importance in that song as well. Do a search, "Queen Extravaganza Prophet Song" Prepare to be amazed. He has also performed it with Black Jacket Symphony.
Love this song & you totally nail it
No matter what you sing, you make the lyrics so clear. Thank you ❤️
Would love to hear you cover Kate Bush & David Bowie
I could listen to you all damn day... amazing!
If I could, yes I would! :)
Just perfect, in every song you put on your voice is amazing
one of my fav U2 songs, was like oh no......great job brother.
be looking forward to hearing more of your stuff, cheers from nova scotia, canada
imagine at Rock&Rio in Brazil, representing various phenomena like him.
that's one hack of a performance lad, absolutely nailed it.
Really good! Marc. You captured the essence of the song and Bono's emotional vocal delivery. 😃😁👍
My favorite U2 song. Good job!
You have such a beautiful voice Mark, we love you!!!! Greetings from Argentina!
Phenomenal. One of my favorite songs of all time. Fantastic job.
amazing
Among many this is one of my favorite U2 songs, and you do it very well. 💪😜👍
Once again, listened to one awesome Marc Martel cover……….and twenty videos later, I’m still listening.
It’s always the case for me! LOL
Lol I have a huge playlist of his covers and original music. (And another with his Christmas music!)
Incredible.
muy bueno con la guitarra el piano y una increible voz, EXCELENTE¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Amazing musician
Perfect! Thanks for it ! 😍🥰
Saludos. al Gran Cantante siempre veo tus videos...
Desde San Isidro de Lules- Tucuman...
you are the best singer keep it up my friend...
Great job Marc! Haven't seen a vocalist get the riff right til now... Awesome. Works well with your voice. You even pulled off the dynamic build!
Brilliant! Brings back memories...
Marc singing one of the most beautiful songs of U2.!! Ohh Thanks, best way to start my day!
Great song! Regards from Mexico
Jesus Christ, this is magic. U2 is my favorite band. You did great Marc. Amazing 👏
What a beautiful song to wake up to this beautiful sunny day! 🌞
I love U2 singing Bad during LiveAid as it was such a great performance. That guitar sound is so Edge/ U2. Nice job Marc!
Nothing short of amazing. I could not believe how this sounded with just the guitar and an outstanding vocal. He was really projecting like I've never seen. So great to see something new. Thanks Marc!
From one U2 fan to another, really well done! Bad is one of those fan favorites you are treading on thin ice to try and cover; but you sure did it justice! And your story of Ben was a real nice touch.
Absolutely fantastic!! Bono would be proud 👏
Dude just has an incredible voice! Wow!! Awesome cover!!!
💙💙💙 "Stay" (Faraway, so close!) 💙💙💙
My Favourite Band 🙌 more U2 please 😃
Love this. Amazing talent ! Thank you !!! Hope so many more find out your diverse talent !
This song is amazing, will always remember my adolescence
Me suena la voz de Freddie de jóven!!! Igual igual increíble Marc Martel. Eres un talentoso músico.
Oh my god i love you marc!
Two of my favorites Marc and U2 combined. Absolutely amazing! Great job Marc!
Holy shit, Marc! I knew you could nail Queen perfectly. Now you've meshed The Edge and Bono into one human embodiment. Unbelievable. What can Marc not do? This is great because you can scale your act from street busker to leading a full fledged stadium performance.
Or perform a stripped down version of Queen to an audience of 10,000?
this was beautiful
Marc is so amazing!
Uff 🤦🏻Amazing Voice!.. Congratulations from Venezuela!..
PLEASE MARC, MORE U2 COVERS! your voice is so special
Wow. Just wow. ❤
Its just wonderfull! Thank you Marc!
Much respect, 100% incredible 👌
Each cover recordered shows to us how the Freddie's voice matches with all type of songs LOL.
Brilliant you have an awesome talent as singer and musician
OMG! Amazing performance! Looking forward to the concert here on Brazil! Congrats Mark, you're a great artist.
Great, just great.
I lived a long life to listen Freddie Mercury covering Bono. Thank you for that. Congratz.
Wow. That was amazing. Great job 👍🙏
