@@carlosibanezlazaro7459 Entiende la época en la que se hizo este video. La canción es un temazo. Este es uno de los grupos mas infravalorados de la década de los 90. Son buenísimos y los conocen cuatro gatos.
Why do the Scots all have to make it about Scotland? Do you feel like the poor relation/short guys lol. Just asking. For example; if it was a cover of an American band's tune by Blur for instance, I wouldn't feel the need to say that 'my countrymen did it proud'
@@tabascocat5102 Seems to bother you more than it does me. Spare me the disingenuousness you English are acknowledged as just about the most jingoistic people on the planet. Could it be that you are just a ‘little Englander?’ 😉
@@rosswilliamson1732 I'd like to know who thinks that. I see less jingoistic behaviour here in England, FROM the English than any others. St Georges day is almost forgotten but, St Patricks? St. Andrew's Day? They're big. I'm just curious
Going to see Gun in Dundee tomorrow at the Beat Generator. Saw them at the same venue last August. First time that I saw Gun live was in 1987 at Fat Sam's in Dundee. There's been a few personnel changes since then though. I believe it's only the two brothers left from the original line up. Gun are from Calton, Glasgow.
Still one of the best bands that Scotland produced and they had an inspired cover here. Happy days standing outside the "Barrowlands" going to "Gun " gigs..
There have been cover versions of this song performed by much bigger bands, but Gun's version remains the absolute best! Also, I just realized that I remember watching this very videoclip for the first time on MTV back in the mid-90s. LOL! Man I'm old...
I heard GUN play this cover back in 1992 at Glasgow Barrowland long before it was even released...... Totally blew me away, was such a great gig.... This band are STILL great, cannot wait for their new album in 2024, their new single All Fired Up is awesome and hankers back to the days of Gallus and Swagger.
HM Axyl yeah this version is deep and dirty heavy, but still maintains crispyness round the edges, helped by the vocalist not growling or screeching or screaming. So it is very heavy metal instead of grungy imo
Best cover song ever. I was with mates in Newquay one year and this was the song of the weekend. Will never forget it. Sounds as awesome today as it ever did.
Forgot how good this vocal was. Love the original too. This is great song. Great vocal. Gun. Totally forgotten them till just now. 2021. Took me by surprise. Great.
One of the best covers of ANY track ever, from the Glasgow boys. Bought the 12" single of this in 1994. Loved it then....love it more now. Robin Topping 31st Mat 2014
This one and Korn's version are the best. And I don't say this because I'm a nu metal fan, but I think that these two versions are the best covers. Gun made it hard rock, and Korn made it nu metal.
Saw these guys do this live in the 1990's... as an opening band for Bon Jovi. Joan Osborne aka If god was one of us was boo'd off stage she was so bad.... 20,000 of us on the field..p155 wet through... waiting for Jovi... These guys came on... started with this... in minutes, we didnt give a crap that the heavens were still falling on us.. we were... ROCKING!!!!!
Years ago, the original Cameo version came on the radio and my girlfriend at the time scoffed at the "awful cover of the Gun song". I knew there and then that we were doomed as a couple.
Reminds me of a comment I read on CZcams a while back from someone mocking the ‘80s throwback’ covering Placebo. It was on the Kate Bush original of ‘Running up that Hill’.
Помню, как же! Дембельнулся в конце ноября 1994-го. Домой приехал, гостей собрал, телек (зомбоящиком по тем временам его вряд ли назвать можно было) включил - американское MTV тогда ещё бесплатно, некодированным сигналом со спутника местный кабельный TV-канал транслировал, а там - эта заводная вещь, ныне столь щемящее чувство ностальгии вызывающая
..cameo's version was pretty red hot but...this track with its hard driving rock is just fxxking brilliant and the guitar solo is beautiful...'smoking' freaking Gun man!
Just heard this excellent cover in the space capsule heading for ISS. The crew have made a mixtape that's playing in the capsule prior to takeoff and Tim Peake's playlist is made of UK bands so he's to thank for including Gun :)
35th anniversary of the release of a classic song: "Word Up!" is a funk and R&B song originally recorded by American funk band Cameo and released as a single on 27th May 1986, becoming the band's best known hit. My favourite cover version is this, the 1994 cover by British hard rock band Gun, which peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart.

Facts
90's production quality
This evening I´m going to see them LIVE!
The best cover song, hands down
Simple and totally perfect guitar solo
What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: czcams.com/video/9vTEJBus0YM/video.html Very well done!

So nice of Cameo to write such a head-banger for Gun!
Love the cameo original but as a Scotsman I have to say my countrymen did it proud as a thumping rock version!

1 Of the best covers ever made in music history.
I was 28 when this came out and it still fkn rocks now.
2020 and still being the best cover🔥

2022 still ♥️
2023 😀
2024 and counting. 😂
2023 and still sounds fantastic! Great vocals and guitars
Still sounds very up-to-date and fresh, without any doubt that's the best version of this song. Long Live Rock'n'Roll !
Except for the oiginal
it's a great cover, but the best version is the original
I love every version of this song but this is the definitive version for me.
It took balls to cover this and turn it into one of the best covers ever recorded
The original is not from Korn though. The original is from 1986 from Cameo.
@@salembookworm I think everyone knew that
Wrong

One of the best rock bands of the 90's.

Soup dragons & Gun 🏆🏆
This has aged well given it’s nearly 30 years old.
Hm people still commenting
Old music is usually better tho
There have been cover versions of this song performed by much bigger bands, but Gun's version remains the absolute best!
Also, I just realized that I remember watching this very videoclip for the first time on MTV back in the mid-90s. LOL! Man I'm old...
Man you ar as young as you love this Masterpice i am still do❤
O Korn fez uma versão dessa música, más a do GUN é muito melhor
The Drums sound beautiful
I' ve heard better sounding snares...
I heard GUN play this cover back in 1992 at Glasgow Barrowland long before it was even released...... Totally blew me away, was such a great gig.... This band are STILL great, cannot wait for their new album in 2024, their new single All Fired Up is awesome and hankers back to the days of Gallus and Swagger.
You was an lucky one in1992 never catch this Moniument of Scotch Rock...live
Not all covers will do a song justice but this version is superb.
2021 and still good !
Little Mix does better
2022 still ♥️
This ia the best cover of Word Up 🎸😎🙏
I love the original, but this version has life of its own 🎸💙🙏😎
Still the best cover of this track I've heard to date.
Better than the original. Oddly enough, i actually think this version is "heavier" than Korn's. Their's is more "grimy" and "seedy" I think. :D
HM Axyl
yeah this version is deep and dirty heavy, but still maintains crispyness round the edges, helped by the vocalist not growling or screeching or screaming. So it is very heavy metal instead of grungy imo
Gary Moore I couldn't agree more. :)
my favourite version of this song is by The BossHoss idk they just make it so it fits better
Never realised that it was a cover. I mainly know this song because of gun
This has always rocked….best cover of the original by a country a mile! That solo!
Yup rocked the day I heard it in "Barbwire" movie and still does today.
Forever in my playlist! Greetings from Russia!!!
a seriously underrated cover song if ever there was one.
I think as cover versions go this is one of the absolute best. Smashed it out of the park on this 👍
That intro.....Love this tune now and then.
Best cover song ever. I was with mates in Newquay one year and this was the song of the weekend. Will never forget it. Sounds as awesome today as it ever did.
Funnily enough, so does this, which I'd offer in rebuttal... czcams.com/video/19d2aolIx0E/video.html
One of my favourite covers of this song.
I m a time traveler from 2496 and still this song rocks!!!
1994? Jesus wept, i'm old!
at 3:06 , that music ..lead guitar background.......feels great.....awesome
YES SIR!! AMEN TO THAT!
Yep. That's the best moment in the whole song. Why can't we have whole tracks made up of the best bits?
Anshul katta ikr
I'm not a fan of hard rock, but an R&B man, so of course I love the original version by Cameo. However, this version is simply amazing. Wow!
One of the best rock songs ever! Period!🤘
Haven't seen this in years.... it hasn't lost anything... still bangs
If ever there was a song topped
Oh My......Arguably the best cover of any Song Ever. Inspired. The guitar break seals the deal, beautifuly arranged cover.
Best cover version ever, hands down...love it.
This one is good too but imo korn's cover is better
@@pkyios there's no better, there's just what you like better
@@akrecu yeah thats why i've said "imo"

Still sounds killer in 2023.Love it.

Great band, great cover. Mark you are missed
This is the coolest version of this track by a mile!!! Such an awesome attitude in the voice.
nothing is better than the original
J ai scotché direct quand j' ai connu cette reprise il y a longtemps
Et toujours dans le coup 👍
Still cool in 2023. Keep on guys
llevo más de 20 años sin saber de quien era esta canción!!!! y por fin la he encontrado!!!
Best Version of this song!! God damn I miss the 90's
Early 90s 😏
Best time I've ever had, was at college for half of the 90,s
KoRn is better
@@escew 😂😂😂
Love it! And that guitar solo - killer!
Especially those badass pinch harmonics~~~
Hard to comprehend this is 30 years old
So hard 😢
I bloody love this version
A Masterpiece of a Cover.
This music is full power!
So far this is the best cover of this track
One of the best covers of ANY track ever, from the Glasgow boys.
Bought the 12" single of this in 1994. Loved it then....love it more now.

Love the original, but this cover....wow!
Wow! Thats a really 90's music video
Llevo viendo este vídeo 23 anos y no me canso
As a young teen, this song mixed with the Barb Wire Movie intro was Iconic
Iconic?
Swagger is such an incredible album. Every song is top notch.
They were not very good.
The original, Korn, and this. This song just works with anyone.
Gun rocks this. By far the best version.
Cameo has to be joint #1 with them....
2nd best version. It slaps though.
Agree
The best cover. This and Korn's cover. Both are legendary covers of Cameo's song.
nothing is better than the original
this band were so good - should have been massive
Were? are still!
Nearly thirty years later and it still fucking rocks.
Excellent remake which made original rocking even better!🤘
Awesome version of a great track. Pure energy music for a workout!
One of the best cover versions I have ever heard.
This one and Korn's version are the best. And I don't say this because I'm a nu metal fan, but I think that these two versions are the best covers. Gun made it hard rock, and Korn made it nu metal.

There have been a few and this is deffo up there
No way 😂
Definitely in my opinion.
One of the few covers I can really stand. Great job Gun..
One of the best covers ever, and it doesn't detract from the original either
The original would be Deborah Harry's The Jam Was Moving from '81.
@@elenabenz5882 Not exactly, but the similarity is so strong I'd expect a lawsuit was involved somewhere along the line.
Jesus, there are more versions of this song than Blade Runner.

+Michael Anthony Jenkins Like Hey Joe and Louie Louie.

Who could (knows what really music IS) could argue that!!??!?!?
Damn straight
You know the song is good when multiple band and singer covered it
I never knew I needed this in my life until right now.
