Helter Skelter (Bealtes Cover) - Stereophonics

[Sandler41882]

Great cover.

[stereophonicsful]

this is the best version

[GabloFX2]

Siouxsie's is the best, very different from every version!!

[adsyoffinch]

that scream @3:33 sends shivers down my spine....

[RAPSODIAROCK]

GREAT COVER. AND YEAH THE BEATLES ARE GODS. MISS THEM MISS THEM... FANS WILL UNDERSTAND THE LAST PART

[lastlane]

Sounds good, now write your own music that sounds this good.

[SuperFieldsofgold]

better than the original. you talk about the beatles, as if they were gods. there are good musicians. not only the beatles. this version is great. yeah

[fede018]

i love the Stereophonic, but i'm not feeling Kelly's vocal :/

[15cjm]

kellys voice makes this awesome :)

[MartimRockass]

love kelly covers

[Mcfishmeister]

This is a pretty good cover!

[JoostBeersMusic]

Too much humbuckers for me but it's a good cover though! (:

[cardiffcrewsoul2000]

i love both bands oasis n phonics!!! if anythin im more into oasis but this tunes is much better than the oasis cover! kellys voice is the fuckin bollucks here!!

[xXxgeegee1234xXx]

this wins over oasis's cover, but both bands are great

[brannighan212]

In my opinion i like this more than the original - Dont hate me ! haha XD

[cashforchaos]

The guitar work is better than Oasis' cover. They're both up there though and its hard to say which is better cos they're both top

[Rocker342]

@MikeLovesChoppers they would say "fuck this shit. we can write music without the help of technology. all we need is lsd and an indian spirit guru"

[RedLioness8]

This one's like Oasis cover... But the singing is great

[cyyytr0n]

@RedLioness8 Actually, they both have the same influences, and they play the same rock'n'roll

Of course it does sound the same ^^

[keyblok]

I just can't get that first scream out...

[ROBBIE51123]

quality!!

[666rebels]

why does every1 think the originals are better? yes, it is the original song they are singin, but come on the phonics and u2's version is way better. well done the beatles for bringing it out, it doesnt mean it cant be matched or done better.

[djangolad]

@666rebels U2s version is totally lame!

[jackofwack]

@666rebels Probably because the beatles have the four masterminds of music wheras the phonics and u2 don't?

[666rebels]

@jackofwack ringo star?? mastermind???? do your homework b4 writing daft things like that.

[jackofwack]

@666rebels

I think I've done enough homework, perhaps you should do your English homework to learn to spell? Although Ringo isn't a good technical player he still wrote some amazing songs and some of the best drum hooks and innovated dampened snares ect... have you played drums for 10 years? I have.

[666rebels]

@jackofwack i dont come on here to argue with sad little boring freaks like you. unfortunately your little boring so called fact was wrong which you have just pretty much admitted yourself. my comment was a matter of opinion which cant be right or wrong. you must be a really boring person poiting out daft things like spelling. 10 yrs? so you mean you have bought a kids drum kit for xmas and you look up 2 ringo the artist? really boring and sad. whos your band by the way?

[jackofwack]

@666rebels

I'm a sad boring little freak? You're the one who attacked my opinion. I'm in a new band at the moment, only played covers before, I play lead guitar in it, it's called Violet Radar. If you want to see me play I've got some metal stuff on my channel (metallica covers) from nearly 2 years ago. You have a really adistic view point on other when really you're the one in ignorance. Ringo plays music, not technical drivel. I aspire to his song wrting ability, something you cant appreciate

[WILBURYCRUSH]

@666rebels I'm sorry.............have you heard the beatles "helter skelter".of course it's better. jesus. let's not get daft. macca can out sing bono kelly and noel today, let alone back in 1968...............

[666rebels]

@WILBURYCRUSH "macca" a better singer than kelly jones?? are you deaf??? how funny!! stop smoking crack. the beatles are class but as for a comment like that "wilbury" ! at least you have put a smile on my face today, that i thank you for. all the best "wilbury".

[WILBURYCRUSH]

@666rebels Only someone with no real understanding of the history of popular music would fail to understand the debt owed by all modern rock bands to the beatles, without whom....................i could go on but maybe it would begin to resemble the flogging of a dead horse. By the way, i like the Stereophonics.....but i also know where they stand on the musical scale.

[foxybronwina]

I think Kelly has the best voice for this cover!! brilliant song and he's made it even more entertaining!!

[kellyseyebrows]

i love the beatles and i love stereophonics.......but which one is best ? well i just can't choose !

[JohnFuent3s]

I love how u can't even hear the bass...

[erika121071]

I tend not to like it when bands sing Beatles songs...but this cover is just amazing..great voice, breathtaking instruments!

[pretoclan]

wow i saw all covers on youtube ( U2, Bon jovi, the killers...)... this one is the best by far

[pretoclan]

wow

[thomasdrocker12]

i know about 3/4 of these viewers will disagree with me but i honestly, think this is better than the beatles version.  ♥stereophonics♥ are ♥amazing♥

[lito130483]

buen cover,la voz me recuerda en algo a la de Kurt Cobain...buena eh!!buen tema!!!

[russinroll]

good very good,band!!

[Ariosvaldo670]

I'm listening to all the posted versions. This is the best one!! The closest to the original! The first heavy metal song ever!!!!! THE BEATLES! ALWAYS THEM!!!!...

[aleccmusic]

Nice ! kick ass voice

[lika187]

I do enjoy this cover...

[MrPeterGroove]

Aerosmith did the best cover of helter skelter

[beatlesmusica]

excelente cover :D

[arturborucfan]

Better than the oasis but oasis are better alll round

[olivier92160]

closed from beatles version, excellent

[Losers0fTomorrow]

They sound like the Beetles and Jet had a baby. sweet! :D

[leeroysnowneger]

@Losers0fTomorrow Hell yeah!

[k0oksoa]

Of course the original is better!!! But come on, this is an amazing cover :) Kelly can sing anything! this guys are amazing.

 I would hate it if they changed the style of the song..they were just having some fun ;)

[phonicsfan1]

@k0oksoa fucking agree, love this.

[KonohaRamenNoodles]

I love both Oasis and Stereophonics but I think Kelly covers this song better then Noel if i'm honest.

[bristolcityrocc]

well yeah, kelly is a proper rock singer, noel is awsome but just a singer. By somemeans i think this is better than the beatles original as this is more polished and just better.

[MarvelNut]

@KonohaRamenNoodles This cover is fantastic. Oasis's cover is sloppy, at best.

[cyyytr0n]

@KonohaRamenNoodles Kelly's voice is more rough than Noel's ;) so indeed, it sounds better, but the oasis' cover ain't bad too :P

[stuckontheupslow]

Great cover, favourited.

The song really benefits here from modern amplification and recording techniques, while being faithful to the original, something U2 and Oasis were completely unable to do with their covers. This sounds like what Sir Paul was trying to achieve in 1968...

[massivetime1]

fukin brilliant ,,what a voice that man as got ,,,yaaaaaaaaaaa

[lukefreo20]

this version gave me chills!! AMAZING!

[zapista21]

im stunned :O

[AFirmKickInThePants]

I'm not a big fan of Stereophonics but I gotta admit they put all their heart in this cover, it sounds perfect

[pobhockle]

Wow, he can hit the notes.

[keane06]

I think this is the best version of the song

[RainbowPasghetti]

it sounds amazing for a cover, but OF COURSE the original is better. if this was better, then it would basically be like making a new song.

[clowninamicrowave]

I'm a huge fan of the original, but this is a great cover version. Also like Kelly doing Revolution & I'm Only Sleeping.

[admanphoto]

This is exactly how I'd imagine the way The Beatles original would sound if they had the production we have now. Best cover ever and the vocals are shit hot.

**5 stars, 10/10, A++, Gold Star**

[elementx20jr]

wow this cover is just awesome!!!!

[flackenstien]

origional is better...

[elementx20jr]

of course it is but this is still a great cover you have to admit

[raulishoogallagher]

sounds like jet i really like it

[bwylde27]

HAHAHAHAHA

[Osmozziss]

i think nobody knows The BeaLtes!

about The Beatles, guess what!?!? "Tell me tell me tell me the answer....you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer!!!!!!!!!!!"

[woozy11285]

great cover

[bartellius]

this guy sings very very well!

[teddyrata]

The greatest cover of this song

[flackenstien]

if this is true.. the origional is still better

[kryl4egfromhell]

no it's not.

[flackenstien]

roflmao.. the origional is better.. you do know the irigional is by The Beatles right?

[xgirlx405]

OMG i went to a bottle of the bands last night and there was this band. They did and AWESOME AWEOSME cover of this song.

The band was 'in circles'.

Lead singer(girl)/ guitarist

bassist(boy)

drummer(girl)

THEY WERE AWESOME!!

just thought i might share that

[riff88m]

wow fuckin great

[fercax]

oh this is great!! probabily the best cover of helter skelter that ive heared

[bleo34]

Alright - not enough balls.

[savaloydrunkard]

shut up

[GrantStoke]

Check out Stereophonics with the black crowes on Jools Holland doing "Twice As Hard" (it is posted),unbelievable.Kelly and Chris have a one night stand on the mic and Jools lays some bad blues "Joanna" down as only he can.

Completely lose my shit to it every time i watch it.

[PepMoix]

This is not a cover, is a clone of the original. To do that, please, don't even bother to cover the song. Not that it's bad, actually it's excellent, but to listen to this I prefer to listen to the beatles' one...

[savaloydrunkard]

It's a cover..

[jamjamjamsession]

a lot better than oasis' one

[LordEizen]

this is just.. excelent

[slim22rj]

teally a cool voice, mate.

[Adzer427]

the attention to detail in this version is unreal!!

[Jbhoy88]

This is Rock and Roll! Can't wait for their new stuff this year

[dudeinanelevator]

Sounds good, but I think I prefer the Aerosmith version.

[LordEizen]

shit!! cool voice i wish i could sing like that.. >=D

[Mr6292]

These guys MUST be Beatles fans or at least major fans of this song. The attention to detail on this is incredible from the sound of the lead guitar, the musical backing, the lead vocal and the backing vocals. Well done Stereophonics.

[byronmblack]

if i was to cover this song, it wouldnt sound anything like the o.g

they wrote the song to sound as violent and loud as possible. if i was to do it, itd be a little more death metal.

[garcia433]

and thats why your not doing it cos it would sound awful!!!

[caguaman2k]

i did not expect this version to be even good... and i admit it... it is absolutely great... i expected something similar from oasis, of course liam singing, but... these guys from stereophonics are really good... i like more oasis, but i like more this version

[c2phonics]

iv seen these guys live twice and going again in december this year...this guy can sing okay, nobody has a voice as good as that. Saw them in cardiff last year and he was utterly unbeliveable..he makes shouting and screaming very sexy

[c2phonics]

Martynfield..??? wat??! smoking does not give KJ his voice? jesus what planet are you frm? The guy was born with that voice, hence the reason he can sing anything- Rod stewart had a similar gravel to his voice 2...all natural...not cos he smokes!

[garcia433]

kelly has admited though in a magazine interview he did use to smoke to hopefully make his voice sound more rough! i dnt kno if it did, but he did say he did smoke quite a lot only for that reason.

[nwLohmann]

well the smoking certainly worked...

[ambientkitty]

I was convinced before....but now I am THOROUGHLY CONVINCED that Kelly Jones can sing ANYTHING. He's a friggin genius. Just when I think he can't possibly ooze anymore talent...he goes and does something like this....I mean holy SHIT!!!!!!!! He is probably perfect. (Except he smokes...oh well)

[MartynField]

yh but smoking gives his voice that ruff edge so i suppose its not all bad

[ambientkitty]

I guess you're right....never thought about it that way......like I said...oh well!

[DCDx89]

Beatles obviously did it the best but this is my favourite cover, the intro/screaming bit was great.

[andotoldo]

Yea I agree, I've listened to U2, Motley Crue and Oasis but this version is my favourite, probably because it's so close to the original

[beatleandy1]

This is the best Helter Skelter cover i've heard, It has energy, Kelly screams it just like Macca did.

[BPMontana]

Hell yeah he did! :D

[notti500]

Good version- then again have they ever done a bad cover version..............I cant think of one.

Mr Jones has one of the best Voices around

[IKilledElviss]

Stereophonics/Oasis - both great bands, both great covers of the song

[TheSkelters]

Very good version!

[xXokcoolXx]

Keep doing what you do Stereophonics!

Great Cover!

[JcjR1988]

yes yes yes but...the oasis version is live not recorded in a studio with 500 bloody edits made to it..this versions has proper production of course its gonna sound better..

[deanBORO]

It sounds better because kelly is a better singer than liam, i've seen both 4 times.....No contest!

[deanBORO]

I meant noel, he can sing better than them both to be fair.

[s4099274]

the boys rocking out like usual. Good shit all round.

[MsPrettyPunk82]

This is a pretty good cover actually, Oasis doesn´t even come close...

[myworld06]

Brill, this is better than Oasis version (its nothing personal I luv Oasis) but Kelly has a better voice that Noel for this kind of song!!!

[welshdragonia]

they'v also done a good cover of hot chocholate's sexy thing

[Mikeg73070]

Great version!!!

[rodrigolfernandes]

TOTAL KICKASS

[Tlzmaniac]

His voice is perfect for this song..much better than Noel Gallagher's version!

[hrhadam]

Noone is a better singer than Noel Gallagher. Except Liam Gallagher

[ManuZombie]

Great cover!!! :D

[doon2110]

Loving it

[Davidls2]

woooo 10,000 view :D

[Jondoms123]

I thought the Oasis cover was quality - I'm surprised to say, this is better. the vocal sounds a lot more like the original

[artisthespoonman]

Soundgarden's version is the best. Totally reworked the song.

[Chrotisofus]

It's not the best. But for you personally, perhaps. I must say, i like theirs best too. But it remains just an opinion.

[jethron5000]

they do the best covers. best of you, don't let me down, n this, helter skelter. beautiful

[deanBORO]

Never heard these do a bad cover yet! AMAZING!

[D4Vl7]

The best cover of this song that I've ever heard.

[Yetisly]

This is one of those few Beatles songs where the covers seem to be better than the original. Great song tho.

[vogue4u]

Much more crude version than Oasis´

Much more true to the original.

Helter Skelter isnt a particularly musical song, its Paul singing nonsense lyrics into a mic with strong riffs.

Its brilliant though.

And this cover respects all of its raw brilliance.

[GerlovesCami]

during the last few seconds of the song i had a feeling he was goin to scream "I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!" why didnt he?

[MovingThroughKashmir]

This is an awesome version! Really nails the feel of the original, I think. Really manic and kinda everywhere.

[Jacd92]

Way Better Then The Oasis Version and Kelly's Vocals Are Incredible!

[winta1991]

much better than the Oasis version that is the worst version, i think this is better than The Beatles version despite the fact they wrote it.

[sayshu666]

oasis version is the best one....

[marcelovialino]

this is very good

[showmerightnow]

Miles better than Oasis--this ROCKS. I still like the Banshees cover best though. Do check that out if you don't know it. I wanna hear Kelly do AC/DC Back in Black!

[pedrothechimp]

this is a mint cover i reckon like, true to the original and performed in a way that doesnt change ur opinion of stereophonics musical abilities. this IS better than the oasis cover

[ComaRadio]

wwooooohooo

[desmondstreet]

the oasis cover is the worst...nothing more than a pub band the public throw their money at........sad.

[vitalogy]

Completely untrue. The Oasis cover of this is much better. You actually get the psychadelia out of it, this cover makes me think that someone told them to cover this rather than wanting to. You get the same with the 'phonics covering Gimme Shelter.

[avelandpunk]

completely agree with that. oasis put much more psychadelia into it, this is just a bunch of blokes screaming down a mic. sounds a bit too heavy metal aswell.

[Dntexerville]

The song was heavy have you even heard the original it was screming into a mike. I love Oasis and there cover but this one does the original more justice

[superfly1001978]

No Idea pal.... The Oasis version was awesome. Real Psycadelia and feeling.

[musacluver]

PAUL WAS THE WALRUS!!!!! XD

[cholowoo]

These guys are awesome! Are they new?

[ecorfield]

no they have been going for about 10 yrs

[brokenboykayaker]

Where have you been? Your missing out on a bloody brilliant band.

[lordsabber]

:p lol

[spongeBoNg42oh]

no theyve been around since the 90's

[joshuorgz]

Bloody brilliant!!!

[moosebyte2007]

best cover i've heard the others being oasis which is decent and the one by U2 which is bloody terrible

[jizzdawg]

Not bad,but the motley crue version is better and the phonics rox tbh :D

[livpsu]

this is definitely the most energetic one

[lordsabber]

great

[themuselover]

this is a class cover. kelly has nailed the vocals better than any other cover of this legendary song. this song needs to be played like the authentic classic. if it ain't, well in my own opinion, it's pretty poor (not saying that Oasis's one was) but they sound like plastic fakes of the song yknow?

[JordiHagens]

its a good cover.. but it is too much like the beatles... they dont do the song in their own style. oasis does

[lattediluna]

awesome vocals... when Kelly push the pedals...no one can compare to him!

[Madrupert]

easily the best cover of this song. Makes lil Oasis effort look really feeble.

[champagnedsupernova]

great cover..

but "better than OASIS" ???

NO!

[JulieC48]

Amazing vocals by Mr Kelly Jones!!

[stephba]

very good cover !!!

better than "helter skelter" by oasis.
