| jhorton | Posted: Apr 18, 2009 - 22:33 Christ does this ever end? Worst piece of music I have ever heard. |
| jhorton | Posted: Apr 18, 2009 - 22:31 A good solid 1. |
| jhorton | Posted: Apr 18, 2009 - 22:31 Farging horrible cover. Just horrible. |

| ChrisL (Directly above the centre of the earth (give or take a gravitational anomaly or two)) | Posted: Mar 18, 2009 - 09:55 If I'd never heard Eleanor Rigby before perhaps I'd like this better, but there is none of the emotion of the original captured in this piece. Technically, it's quite astounding but ultimately it's a very cold and souless cover.  |
| Pyro | Posted: Mar 18, 2009 - 09:55 It's better if you can SEE him play. Very unique style. |
| alezz_ua (Ukraine, Kyiv) | Posted: Mar 18, 2009 - 09:55 Unique style. Worth of been in RP rotation. Got 8 from me. |

| Aural_not_Oral (End of the Oregon Trail) | Posted: Mar 18, 2009 - 09:54 Seems like he forgot what song he was playing there, for what seems like 5 minutes in the middle. Then, oh yeah Eleanor Rigby, then wait, I liked that thing I just played, let me try that again. Then, oh, guess I better just end this somehow. Not that enjoyable for me. |

| erichb | Posted: Mar 18, 2009 - 09:51 Very few have mastered the creative genius of the album cover like Stanley has done here. Well done, Stanley. Well done. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Mar 18, 2009 - 09:51 This is really fantastic... |
| vit | Posted: Mar 18, 2009 - 09:50 I'm not old enough to like this yet. |

| HarrO (Just Down the Hill from Paradise) | Posted: Feb 14, 2009 - 21:19 Well, I see the Beatles cover police have been here. Always loved SJ's style myself. |
| MayBaby (Savannah, Georgia) | Posted: Feb 14, 2009 - 20:37 Oh Hush, MBE : ) This is pretty cool! |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Feb 14, 2009 - 20:33 Cool cover, which is common with Stanley Jordan... |
| brians201 | Posted: Feb 14, 2009 - 20:30 Completely loses the soul of the song in a maze of technicality ... whats the point !! ... LESS IS MORE !! |

| michaelgmitchell (Belleville, ON Canada) | Posted: Oct 11, 2008 - 09:07 He missed a few notes. |
| Manbird (Santa Rosa, CA) | Posted: Oct 11, 2008 - 09:07 cacophonic. |
| sporkster (New York, NY) | Posted: Oct 11, 2008 - 09:07 This is one of my favorite Beatles songs, but this cover is just terrible. Seriously.  |
| snemelc | Posted: Oct 11, 2008 - 09:07 "Liked the guitar work and the original song but not this song by this guitarist." Good point! The soul of the original song is crushed for "l'art pour l'art".  |
| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet this is not my home) | Posted: Oct 11, 2008 - 09:06 I would never have known this is Eleanor Rigby |
| dickscratcher | Posted: Aug 09, 2008 - 04:03 Liked the guitar work and the original song but not this song by this guitarist. |
| Prodigal_SOB (Back Home Again in Indiana) | Posted: Jul 09, 2008 - 12:38 bokey wrote: Wow -it got rejected.Just, wow. It did get reviewed and went 12/13 (48%). Stanley is kind of a love him or hate him sort of player. A friend of mine who can be a pretty damn showy guitar player in his own right will often make the comment "Wow! He sounds like TWO not very good guitar players" and I can sort of see his point at times. The last time I looked I was the only one who had ever tried to upload anything by Stanley. You could try something else you know. This only goes to show that every once and awhile they let stuff like this slip through. |

| thewiseking (New York, New York) | Posted: Jul 08, 2008 - 13:28 not diggin it my favorite beatles cover.......Wilson Pickett doing Hey Jude with Duane Allman on guitar |
| PigLatin (They are pigs, these Romans) | Posted: Jul 08, 2008 - 13:25 Eeek! This music is scaring me!  |
| jlind (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Jul 08, 2008 - 13:23 This is a really interesting cover, I like it. |
| Pyro | Posted: May 06, 2008 - 14:44 His technique of playing is pretty fascinating to watch. |
| mutepoint (Located) | Posted: May 06, 2008 - 14:37 Coooool! So this is Stanley Jordan. Me likey. |

 I wish my dentist had this good of taste. He's more the Celine Dion type of driller. |

| robco1 (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Mar 04, 2008 - 13:52 I saw him play this at my school in the early 90's. Simply incredible. |
| Ahnyer_Keester (Chicago Il) | Posted: Mar 04, 2008 - 13:51 OMG!! I bought this album in the 1980s in England. I came home from the pub and saw Stanley on some late night program. Ran out and found the vinyl that week. Amazing. I haven't heard this in years, thank you so much for playing it. Awesome!! |
