Sea-Foam Green Awesome cover. Sounds full and complete. Chorus drags a bit behind the instrumentation. Not sure if that is purposeful styling or a matter of latency in recording. |

What a beauty Smooth and slick, luxurious and dynamic. I always like what you do with double-tracked vocals, and your performance here is sublime. It's a great song with a lovely chord structure (but then nobody here had any doubt that Michael is a master songwriter) and you've made it your own. It suits your style so well. Excellent stuff. |

M2 Firstly, great clean production. Secondly, your voice has never sounded better. You picked the perfect song for your pipes. Thirdly, you didn't veer too much from the M2 version. Lastly, stellar job. And great song, M2. Dave |

wow Vic you did an awesome job with this one. You really picked up on the Bowie undertone that I had in mind when I recorded this. I love how you changed up the pre-choruses, and the harmony leads are awesome (very Mick Ronson). i am honored, I gotta tell you. |

Point #1: I used to have both Knucklehead Smith and Jerry Mahoney, up 'till I was 13. Eyes moved, etc...the whole nine yards. Spent hours working on an act which I never put on the road. So: your artwork drew me in completely. Thanks. Nice memories... Oh yeah....the tune... Pro, pro, pro. Great choice to put your touch to. Flows perfectly with your style. |

Very cool I love this. Your guitar excels as ever - lovely sounds, and great playing. I love that acoustic sound. Lovely vocal, too. Your distinctive voice suits this perfectly. I love the way you sing this. A match made in heaven. Outstanding stuff. Nicely done. Peace. |

Excellent Cover Vic You captured the spirit of Michael's song, but in your own unique way. Very cool production and mixing on this track. Love the lead breaks and guitar riffs, very cool sound. Great job my friend. Be well and be cool |

I Could Get Old And Not Grow Up Vic, you get younger with every song you do. Man, you know how to rock! This is really a great version of a great song. Your Holman touches never seem to run dry on ideas. Your guitars sound great and your voice is right up front where I like it. Sweet harmonies on vox and guitars. As usual, I'm in awe of your drums. You'll be my first choice for drummer when you play in my band. Bob |

Great Job Vic All the touches you added are very nice. Your vocal style almost sounds like M2 on this. Very nice sounding production indeed. Enjoyed a lot. |

Great cover Vic I wish I'd got myself organised for this challenge - I had very good intentions (and it wasn't even going to be a Michael2 song!). This is a very good version - sounds like one of your own, which shows how strong your particular style is. I really like the lead bits. Long live the sus2 chord!! Neil |

WOW! Phenomenal intro - hooked me in right away. You have a great, distinctive voice and this is so well done, it does sound like you had fun doing over the original. Great guitars and drums. I love the fact that this is not easily pigeon-holed. Fine piece of work, Vic. I am deeply impressed. Cheers, Jim |

Very VH Michael2 by way of Bill Nelson put through the Dukes of Stratosphear's meat grinder.........or something like that. A pretty breezy 4 minutes that I didn't even notice roll by. Solid, psychedelica (stand-up great guitar tones, too). Thanks. |

Great choice Vic and excellent version. As always the guitars are brilliant and your vocals are wonderful. Brave of you to cover M2. You did a great job. This challenge is really cool. |

I love everything you do Vic and it's time I gave up lol, an excellent performance and a great cover from you of a wonderful song! I had a listen to the original and you have done a superb job here, loved it all! |

Make sure... ...that when you put out that Vic Holman double album, there are some covers in there, just as strong as this... It kind of forces you to stretch the boundaries of your natural Holmanity to encompass a wider arc of sound... Love the spread of jangling guitars. Never heard jangling guitars from you before... But seriously, I like the VARYING of the jangle, and the combination with the underpinning slightly distorted electric rhythm guitar(s). Think you did some serious singing on this, too, Vic... Ed |

perfect I just discovered you and glad I did - love your voice and guitar work. Great cover to work with but your redering is beautiful. You have a Matthew Sweet wall of sound pop sensibility that runs through your tunes. With that sound and your Bowie-esque voice you again remind me of Adrian Belew. |
from envy. No seriously great choice of song and you manage to be both faithful to M2 song and to your own signature. You give it some extra drive while retaining the sensibility.
Great lyrics from Michael, by the way.
