| Andrew User Info... | I just heard this song by green day working class hero... ill be the first to say that they are fucked now with the makeup and the lame songs about george w bush. For the band that got me into playing guitar in grade 7, it is what it is..pop punk. but this song kikcs ass i dont care what people say go listen to it its fuckin rad. i think it might bea cover? That oculd explain things - Mon, 21 May 2007 12:55am Edited: Mon, 21 May 2007 12:57am | ||
| Andrew User Info... | oh ok its a lenon song.....go figure.... ok...where's the delete thread option..i thought they wrote it . fuck.. - Mon, 21 May 2007 1:00am Edited: Mon, 21 May 2007 1:02am | ||
| DTjackson User Info... | At least it's a good cover. Nothing fancy. Just a classic song brought to a younger generation who may not of been too keen on Lennon's music. Plus, it's a charity single. Hard to remember a charity single that didn't suck. I'm looking at you Nickelback! - Mon, 21 May 2007 2:10am | ||
| Wizz User Info... | Back in 1970 when lennon wrote the tune it was banned from radio play because it used the word Fuck and the entire tone of the song was not the kind of thing radiostations and record label wanted to send out to the masses, which is too bad because more people should have been exposed to it then cause it had all the potential to be a number one hit back then but instead it'll be a number 1 hit for greenday, i'm sure of it. they dont totally desicrate it but to me i jsut dont find they do it justice. The only plus side is that everytime I hear it played on the radio they give credit to John Lennon for writing the song so at least his music is still getting out there...even if it is from the guys who made "dookie" - Tue, 22 May 2007 11:04pm | ||
| Andrew User Info... | dookie was pretty good for it's time...sure it's poppy...and not all anti-government...but it was good times for me got me playin guitar (along with gob's how far shallow takes you). I know there must have been a few people from this board at that gob show in that room with the reddish couches everywhere and a low cieling..probabaly around 1998? - Wed, 23 May 2007 4:29pm | ||
| Swingin' Joe User Info... | I think the real question is who was better Paul or John? I say John, cause he was badass. Hell, I'd pick George over Paul. - Thu, 24 May 2007 1:17pm Edited: Thu, 24 May 2007 1:18pm | ||
| DTjackson User Info... | Paul made too many sappy silly songs but still better than Ringo who was either doing country or singing childrens songs. George Harrison was the man. Too underrated. - Thu, 24 May 2007 4:20pm | ||
| Andrew User Info... | i personaly like lenon a bit more too but the beatles would definately not be the beatles without paul would never have even came close.. The two of them competed a lot and would use each other's ideas to come up with better ones. You can't just ignore songs like I Saw Her Standing There, Drive My Car, Paperback Writer, With A Little Help From My friends, Fixing A Hole, When I'm Sixty Four, Hey Jude, Back In The U.S.S.R,Helter Skelter, and above all, Let It Be. I love how everyone always puts down love songs....its so manly. I think im gunna go work out with the guys n then sit in front of 7/11 listening to ac/dc talking about how all girls are sluts. lol. - Thu, 24 May 2007 5:04pm Edited: Thu, 24 May 2007 5:07pm | ||
| Rob W User Info... | If you wanna hear a good cover of this song, check out the version mark lanegan does of it. It's on a Lennon tribute cd that came out in the mid 90's sometime. It's absolutely incredible, much better than the greenday version. You know, Mark from Queens of the Stone Age and the Screaming Trees? And his solo stuff. Of course you knew that, just checking - Thu, 24 May 2007 6:40pm | ||
| DTjackson User Info... | I'm not against love songs. I LOVE, errrr, love songs and the above list mentioned is a great list although I'm not a big fan of When I'm 64. Those are the Paul songs I disagree with because they sound kinda corny and kitsch [excluding Maxwell's Silver Hammer because silly songs about pounding people in the head with a hammer are awesome]. And Mark Lanegan rules. - Sat, 26 May 2007 2:27pm | ||
| mcbean User Info... | #1 reason Paul is awesome - the vocal on "Why Dont We Do It In The Road" - Fri, 8 Jun 2007 11:37pm | ||

| trevor corey User Info... | Ahh yes, music from my childhood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUT9V3EhC2w - Thu, 2 Aug 2007 11:02pm | ||
| Tito Santana User Info... | marilyn manson does a good cover of it too. better than green days in my opinion. - Thu, 2 Aug 2007 11:13pm | ||

| trevor corey User Info... | Sorry, sorry, that was awful. Try this instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPe46JbejLY - Wed, 22 Aug 2007 11:05pm | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | I made a promise to myself that I would never listen to Christina Aguleira's version of "Mother". There's no way on earth I could ever bring myself to do that without desperately wanting to end my life. I heard a bit of Green Day's cover.. I don't like it.. most likely because I'm a huge Lennon fan... I did listen to the Flaming Lips version of "(Just like) Starting over" though.. because they're cool... - Thu, 23 Aug 2007 12:56am | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | Oh yeah and Marianne Faithfull had the coolest eyelashes... they looked super cool in Rock n Roll Circus. - Thu, 23 Aug 2007 12:59am Edited: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 1:01am | ||
| DTjackson User Info... | Flaming Lips are awesome. I would sell my arm to see them live with santa costumes and other madness. - Thu, 23 Aug 2007 12:27pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K30q0P4wFG4&mode=related&search= - Fri, 24 Aug 2007 1:55am Edited: Fri, 24 Aug 2007 1:58am | ||
| Andrew User Info... | it's cool to be a lennon fan though..it's really not cool to be a green day fan. i like the production/drums/solo. billy jean's (lol) voice is just the same generic one he always uses but o well. Vocal Talent is optional if you are a good songwriter, just ask the other billy (corgan). - Fri, 24 Aug 2007 4:12pm Edited: Fri, 24 Aug 2007 4:13pm | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | Billy Corgan's voice rules because it's unique... Just ask Bob Dylan - Mon, 27 Aug 2007 11:40pm | ||
| Andrew User Info... | yea but his songs rule because he's an amazing writer. imo - Wed, 29 Aug 2007 12:04am | ||
| Swingin' Joe User Info... | Bob Dylan can sing?!? - Wed, 29 Aug 2007 6:27am | ||
| Andrew User Info... | lol i cant even reply dude all i can think of is u and jiri cornering me in christie point and i ran away and u guys were like LETS GET EM BOYS! lol. good times :P - Wed, 29 Aug 2007 4:36pm | ||
| Christie Point Joe User Info... | As much as I was a dick them days, they were awesome. Bro, bro, if you ever wanna get drunk, give me the permission to add your ass on MSN. And for the record, Bob Dylan can't sing. - Wed, 29 Aug 2007 9:35pm | ||
| DTjackson User Info... | It's not so much about the precision of voice but the emotion and what is being said. I don't like Bob Dylan or Clap Your Hands Say Yeah [throwing them out there as another example] because of their singing talents. I like them because of their sincerity and ideas. - Thu, 30 Aug 2007 12:30pm | ||
| Andrew User Info... | lol yea dude they were fun. and i'll probably see ya at a show one of these days so ill buy u a beer or something. go ahead and add away if u want. - Thu, 30 Aug 2007 4:40pm | ||
| Swingin' Joe User Info... | True enough, I even like a few songs of his. Just not a diehard Dylan fan. - Thu, 30 Aug 2007 5:52pm | ||
