Even though this is a cover and most think that INXS version is better i will agree with that especially since they use the sax and this one uses a guitar. That being said give credit when credit is due. This is an excellent cover and if Joe had done it originally it would have been a hit. Problem is there is no venue for Joe Cocker or any Classic rock artist in today world. FM rock stations use to be the venue but those are disappearing every day to the crap being recored today. just my opinion
its an alright cover, but michael hutchence just sang this song with such power and emotion its hard to imagine a cover being in the same league as the original
Joe is awesome in his own right, but this song belongs to mick and the boys, it IMO cant and shouldnt be covered by anyone as they nailed it as the original artists. for those that dont know im talking INXS. r
@nezkeys79, joes voice is rough and a little ragged, but have ever heard his first 5 cds? his voice was beautiful, but for a man who was a superstar,and then thanks to heroin and booze, ended up penniless in 79,sleeping on a friends sofa, he stopped the dope and booze got married and reclaimed his career and just signed a recording contract w/ sony @ age 66, he deserves some credit?
@kakom75, joe is the greatest white soul singer in history,when he covers a song it is a compliment to the original artist/composer ,the BEATLES use to send songs to joe hoping he would record them. i would hate to see your cd collection. The joke as u call him, still sells out stadiums in europe and signed a new recording contract w/ sony at 66 years of age lets see ur guys do that
@Evertonian01 that is a dumb ass statement. I would bet my life if Michael was still alive he would have been as proud as hell to have a rock icon and hall of famer cover his song. That is the ultimate complement to an artists is that someone that is better than you thinks enought of your music to want to record it. And the law comment is just stupid. There are hundreds of covers that became hits after they were covered and not by the original artist. So by your thinking we toss all those away.
@LesSmith45 The law comment was in direct to this song only. Hutchence has such a unique style, and I think (regardless of the whole fuckin' compliment shit) that it just shouldent be attempted to cover it..
@kakorn75 joe,s voice is raw, n unique!!!!!...he wasnt tryin to be like micheal!...and cocker is neva eva a fuking joke!..and anyone can sing what eva the fuk they like!
@kakorn75 This is one of the stupidest moronic statements i have read on Youtube. A Rock & Roll Icon hall of famer a joke!!! No the joke is your dumbass ignorance. If you dont like this cover that is cool. That is your opinion. But to call this icon a joke is just plain ignorant. PERIOD! as much as i like INXS and LOVE this song. INXS is done, have been done and will never remotely rise to the status that Joe Cocker has EARNED. It is just sad the Michael had to be a coward and kill himself.
Joe Cocker is a talented singer in his own right, but remaking this song is just not kosher especially if the arrangement is exactly the same as the original.
Dude.this version is a bit diferent, just because joe cocker sings it in his own way, which is the Blues way, when INXS, being more agressive in their performance, sings it in the "Alternative Rock and New Wave" way, kinda.there's a big diference between INXS and Joe Cocker just because the style is completly diferent.Both versions are very good because they're so diferent, and you have all the right to think that INXS is better because all of us have the freedom to consider think and apreciate.
not bad at all, just with those riffs I expect Michaels voice to come in.Not that much Cocker "mojo" to this - and whilst I love the sax in the original, not a bad guitar solo-probably lacks the grab you factor
Love the song, i have seen it live a few times .. verry powerfull, But i am wondering why they did a guitar solo instead of sax since joe has always had a great sax player with him. As for the nasty comments made by dumbasses, just pity them, they are frustated cause they are worthless people and cant admit it to themselves, (probably gay also)
He is using a Fender Stratocaster to get this clean sound... but it also depends on the amp he is using.. I would say it is an Marshall because you can hear this unique scratchy sound...
You again with your silly childish fan mentality. Why don't you just admit you're mentally diseased, try to deal with it, and forget about dead pop singers who would treat you with nothing more than weary contempt if they'd ever met you, then joke about what an idiot you are with their mates later.
Jeez, how can anything be made of a world, that has people in it such as these?
i've got a question about the guitar that was used to record this. what kind of guitar is it? what kind of pickups, amp, effects? I LOVE IT!!! i want to have that kinda sound in my guitar
its always great to see one great singer performing another great singer's song... arises deep respect for both. otherwise this version is soooooo different in the good way and carries another type of energy. no matter how big joe is, he cannot outdo a one-in-a-million such as michael is
a nice version but it will never beat the original inxs version for me, i saw inxs perform it in 1994 in mandurah western australia, it was just michael with andrew at the piano 'magic', it is the best cover i've heard though, good job
I think that both versions have pros and cons. To tell the truth, I favor INXS just because Hutchence's voice is so much smoother. Cocker's just a bit to rough. Other than that, music is EXACTLY the same
you wanna know a great way of fiding music? here it is, when you listen to a music, try to memorize a phrase or a bit of the song. then google the phrase and next to it "lyrics". it should appear a song. copy the songs name and paste it in you tube search and then check if its the same song you were looking for.
