Rise Against - Savior - Cole Rolland (Guitar Cover) 

SAVIOR. 🔥

Ligths in classroom: *are gone* Random Girls in class: 3:27

If you ever want to try something cool listen to the original Savior by rise against with headphones and only put on/in the right ear. The first 20 seconds are just him singing without the music. It feels like hes just singing for you. I found it pretty awesome :)

3:27 is like a drug for me, I became addicted to that solo man, so simple but powerful at the same time... just perfect

My favourite youtuber uploading a cover of my favourite song. That made my whole month.

I remember seeing your cover 5 years ago and I absolutely fell in love with your play style. I remember watching it over and over again while I went through scales and warm ups as inspiration to keep practicing. It’s really cool to see how your style has the same vigor it did before, but how it has also matured. There were definitely times in the second play through where you choose not to play a flashy solo and instead allowed your playing to collaborate with the music as a whole, which in turn showcased the music and its nuances very well. I absolutely loved the first cover but as a musician, I appreciate the second one a lot more and I think you should be really proud of it. You took an awesome song and found the balance between making it your own and not losing the original character of the song, which is super cool to see.

Hi Cole. I think I finally understand what you meant by adding to the musical experience. I heard this concept a bit differently in an interview of Charlie McCoy, a harmonica player from Nashville. He said that new players have to understand that less is more, and narrated a story from his recording past. The soundman would especially turn his volume down when he played his solos, because they didnt add to the experience. McCoy said that I ll play less, but when I play, its gonna be so damn good that it will add to the song. I feel that you have embodied the same idea with this version. Adding melodic sounding part was a welcome addition, as well as those high notes. This song made me subscribe to you 4 years earlier, and today I am very happy that I did!

Man if I ever start playing guitar it will be due to this guy's influence. Dude's a legend.

3:27 YES!

Sounds great man!! Crazy high note at 03:29!🤘

That solo had me speechless 🤣🤣😱😱😱 great job dude 🤟🔥🔥

Oh my god, this song makes memories flood back. I absolutely love this song, and your rendition is amazing man.

3:25 I'm just getting goose bumps all over my body everytime I'm listening to this section of the cover. So phenomenal!

Ngl pretty happy I forgot about this song, cause your cover made me fall in love with it all over again. Props dude.

I think I appreciate the song more since seeing how much more went into the guitar portion than I ever realized. Thank you very much.

I love his song. Great job with this. I love when songs take a pause and then jump straight into it like this song does.

I literally just felt my actual SOUL. GOOD FUCKING JOB!!

The fact that he can get so close to sounding like the actual guitar track is absurd.

Amazing cover of one of my favorite songs. Well done, Cole!! The improvisations you inserted give me goosebumps in the best way

That last section of improvised solo... subtle but got damn it sounded BEAST 🤘🏻🔥

Bring back the guitar remixes my man 🙌 that shit was my jam. Like your earlier remix of Savior, by far one of the best videos on your channel. Keep up the good work homie!

once again music bring us all together

Those improvised solos are fucking epic dude. Doesn’t take away from it but adds to it immensely. New subscriber for sure.

This completely amazing!!!!

I am starting to like more this version than the original. Keep up the good work Cole!

Cool lick at 1:54, gonna always play it that way now 😁

Found it today and love that piece of music! Nice work

This video just showed up in my feed. I'm glad it did.

Esse garoto é fera🎸🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

*_rocking Rolland!!😉😉😉_*

I think my room caught fire this was so lit. LOVE IT!

This is a masterpiece! You did exactly what you set out to do, take an already amazing song and make it better! Your additions were incredible. Keep up the great work!

3:37 man look at those strings BEND!

Bullet For My Valentine - Hearts Burst Into Fire!!

Loving the throwbacks to your old covers!!!

Love the solo in the interlude!

Okay, I need to leave a comment here, although I very seldom do so. First of all, you are an insanely talented guitarist and the way you arrange songs makes you a great musician in general. I got to know you through your joint works with Lauren Babic (whom I've been following for more than 4 or 5 years now). I love most of the songs you cover and at this point, I'm not sure whether or not you take requests but I have one. Since you covered Through The Fire & Flames it shouldn't be the hardest challenge ever for you, but it's definitely no easy song : Children Of Bodom - Kissing the Shadows. When you search for that song's guitar covers here on RU-vid, there are almost only pretty low quality covers, save for one. It's the one with the most views, by a guy named metalsuki. Now that cover is an old school cover from 8 years ago (!!!), meaning with crappy sound and camera BUT ALSO something I never see in your covers (and would make it a lot harder for you haha), the whole thing is in one take. No fancy transitions or editing. I'd absolutely love to see YOUR one take guitar cover of that song. And I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one. Good luck if you actually try this :)

John Cooper de skillet hará una nueva banda de metal llamada Fight the Fury!! Por favor haz covers de sus nuevas canciones!!! Por favor!!!

Dude you are insane, this is so good ! Keep it up.

Super awesome to see a remastered version of the first video I ever saw of yours! Haven't stopped watching since! I love the different approach you took with it, with a couple call backs to the original (Sick bend into final chorus, etc.) Love it, man!

Cover is awesome!!! Please cover Painkiller- Three Days Grace!!!

Here before 50 views

havent picked up my guitar in years, your videos have inspired me to once again wield the axe.

I’m loving these covers. You never cease to amaze!

So much better than your last savior cover...

I would pay money to see Hetfield downstroke that verse lol

Love this song! You did great!

Love your insights at the end. Being here since forever and your new approach is really good. Every time I play a video, it comes with the question of guessing at which minute you will add something that is not in the original song which is fun!

Hey cole lately you have lowered the intensity of your videos this great cover but I personally liked it much more than you did before

Preferred the original cover you did of this one, tbh. I hate being negative (because I can't do any of the insane guitar work that you do), but if you're going to do covers, I miss when you would put a lot of thought into making them different and stand out. Adding in your own lead guitar with interesting new takes on instrumental harmonies(Original Savior, Faint, Smooth Criminal) or choosing a song I wouldn't expect to get rocked out (Hello, Everytime We Touch, Stay The Night). It seems like lately you're just copying rock songs with minor tweaks instead of making them your own. Just my two cents. I still subscribe and will be buying your next album as well. Take care man.

Bro! Just what I just whitnessed right now? You just improved an already amazing song in a way I didnt think it was posible! Thank you for sharing this amazing talent ❤

Man smashed it out! 🔥🔥love how you always make it look so easy and relaxed. The solos in there were awesome too!!

Dudeee these are some damn serious Bends you do there. Great Work! Keep it up! Greatings from Germany!

Mind blowing!! I enjoyed every single note🎵🎸💙

Dude...this is so fucking good! This is one of my favorite songs and you did it more than justice. Insane. 👌🏻

Another awesome job dude! I love this song I’m so pleased you did this! And that solo is amazing man!

The most impressive part is nailing that tone! Great playing, too.

Dropping BOMBS AGAIN nice 1 matey🤘

Wow! Thats amazing 😍

It is so cool to me that the little solo over the last chorus is… it’s stupidly simple like maybe 5-7 notes total lol but it adds soooooo much! That’s insane.

That tone is on point
