Cool video of him doing a version of Motley Crue's "Kickstart My Heart".

+ First time understanding a bunch of those lyrics.
- half of that video consists of Gronwall's teeth. Do not want.

I mean I think that might be the best sung version of the song ever, including the version on Dr. Feelgood. Those notes he hits are insane and they seem like he hits them effortlessly, as opposed to when Vince sings it with no effort at all.

While it's competent and the guy has a voice, you can tell English ain't his native language and that his vocal was punched in and he sings the lines without much actual Rock personality. Better than the original? No way. None of the Motley swagger and groove.

Has a stupid haircut. He’s in a cock rock band pretending to be Bach. Fix the hair or put on a wig!

He has great pipes but this is too clean. Kickstart needs more grit.

His cover of the Sia song “Chandelier” is absolutely fantastic! Made me really like that song!

Chandelier is a great song. I imagine very difficult to sing as well.

No. Original version with Vince is the best.

I think the fact that he's singing all the words is throwing everyone off.

Nope. It’s grown back. Long on top. Shaves the sides. Doesn’t look right for Skid. Out of place.

He's better on the Sebastian stuff.

This sounds like American Idol.

I liked Eric in HEAT, and think the Skid Row CD is great, but this cover has zero personality or groove. IMO, not a good fit for his vocal style.
