[bjble]

[Hasjiesman]

Sjessus......wat een heerlijke tieten!Goed performance ook!

[sfeigh]

Hadn't heard this version before. Marianne really brought it all to the table. There's nothing bad at all about htis song. With the possible exception of 78 dumbasses who hit dislike...

[MsRADIKI]

1000000000000000000 LIKE

[Mr10heymo]

gotta love her and everything she touches

[1949Jens]

So very few women with " Balls " ..and why ? coz Marianne Faithfull got most of them <3

[darkestdraw]

77 people are not from the working class.

[honoraryjn84]

I have to say i like Manson's cover more and the original, JOHN LENNON, The most..... Marianne did a pretty good job at it but.... I dont entirely like the style =/

[greenslashpurple]

This song is shows how rock can still be relevant. A "made-for" interpretation. And this band is something not to be fucked with.

[BEASH57]

Raw and gritty... like the working class hero.  Brilliant. Most certainly the best rendition of this Lennon piece.

[meeeee1968]

great version of a lennon classic,

shes still a very sexy lady

the band is great here also

[dcraigwise1]

...still sexy!! And with that voice....

[hectordgk]

Greendays is better

[xDragonFightresSx]

@hectordgk You might like the style better -as I do, too- but these guys are technically way better than GreenDay is.

[makemeateeshirt]

Marianne has so got the voice for this sawng, and on a personal preference note, I prefer it to Lennon's....and the musicians are crisp and tight:)....Brilliant....

[makemeateeshirt]

marianne:) John Lennon eat yer heart out

[levi7516]

i love both john lennons version and mariannes version of this song, just brill

[marconius101]

My favorite is Green days but overall this one is dam close, i think there all good

[scarfacesoprano87]

@kyle032196 It's comments like this 1 that make me want to kill people Green day suck cock for bingo money.

[kyle032196]

@scarfacesoprano87 If thats how you feel

[makemeateeshirt]

It's not often you can say an artist covering a song is better than the original, so clear the wax and enjoy the unique voice of Marianne

[thegirlsnme]

Really love this cover as well as the song....

For the children that have to P&M about who is better G.T.F.U.

You don't get it anyway:)

[wingandaprayer]

Superb guitar...who was that guy?

[19SISYS50]

@wingandaprayer

BARRY REYNOLDS

[jamesh2o2]

[scoobeedu]

[yorkshiretractors]

THE MIDDLE CLASS CAN GO FUCK THE SENS 

[scoobeedu]

haha yeah another rich girl made it big with mommies money. Her mother was an austrian aristocrat. Eva von Sacher

[gillesnewwave]

@scoobeedu and so what????? who cares? except you with your Wiki knowledge.......

[scoobeedu]

@gillesnewwave Well nothing much just that the working class are being controled by the wealthy even in music ,because music is just another business venture like anything else . yout hypnotised by it eh? to the point you will defend her.am i right?

[stefan103]

@scoobeedu What!! Yeau she was family born, but my understanding is that lots of them were nuts and Marianne actually lived on the streets for two years as a heroin addict.

[LoliNana]

she's hot O.o

[Anterimon]

I know this song was a longtime ago but I still love it..........where are you now!!!!!

[myangelmyall]

Fantastic! Bravo! Magnificent ;)

[jaevierum]

Das beste was es je gab einfach geil

[bettyboopdenormandie]

[sthompson1000]

I love the irony of the Baroness Sacher-Masoch singing about being working class!

[finelame44]

merci,scwack,super voix,excellente chanteuse...

[Gorrilaki]

VERY GOOD!! IN RHODES - GREECE (JUNE 2011) WAS EVEN BETTER!!!!!!!!

[Scrughat]

71 peoples only listen reggaeton

[OzPedro123]

71 People have shit musical taste and shit for brains.

[lancedyer1]

Saw Marienne last week at Rhodes, Greece, of course, she included this song - she is amazing and her interpretation of songs is unique!

[zeka1996king1]

IZVRSNO

[fonbets]

Absolutely brilliant cover.You did John proud with this.

[Galileo185]

I saw her do this live at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett around the time of this video. I was no more than 5 feet away from her as she sang....

[LittleJamesL]

Good song but I prefer Marilyn mansions versions this one is just to slow for me

[camcoop25]

@LittleJamesL

Prefer what you like.. but that doesn't make you less of a moron. It is a slow song, dickhead... listen to the Lennon version.

[LittleJamesL]

@camcoop25 dude i have listened to the lennon version and if you listen the marylin manson version is slightly faster and fuck you for calling me shit if you dont like my comment then dont read it you tosser.

P.s my reply was late because i was too busy to check my emails

[LittleJamesL]

@camcoop25 dude i have seen lennons version and i still prefe marylin mansons version and if you listen carefully it is slightly faster and fuck you if you dont like my comment dont read it .

P.S my reply was late because i was too busy working to check my mail

[projheli]

[stephaniemireille]

Her boobs look like they may actually explode!

[DeadJesus100]

They hurt you at home

[TThom2]

[ballandchain25]

fuckin great!!

[bongulum11]

die frau ist spitze

[TheGringopobre]

excelente version,gracias marianne

[TThom2]

@cunnilicker I agree totally !!! Even if I respect Lennon very much for doing the original...

AND/BUT Cindy Laupers Version is same cool shit..

[TThom2]

@cunnilicker I agree totally !!! Even if I respect Lennon very much for doing the original...

[TThom2]

Boah.. Und die Hats ja auch drauf , ihre version ist auf Platte Gäsehaut pur allein wg der Bass-Linie und ihrer immer fast umkippenden Stimme.. Broken English war das Album und Working Class war immer mein Disco Hit Gäsnehaut pur.. Werd ic mal mit Schwefel angehen neben Sister Morphine das Beatles/lennon Äquivalent der Faithful

[pedrotabarca]

llevo 42 años sin poder de dejar de sentir todo lo mas extraño y profundo,el tiempo que lleva ella publicando canciones.

[yorkshiretractors]

here in the uk it is full off middle class assholes who think there are summit but they are all pen pushing twats fuck em. YORKSHIRE RULES

[scole665]

@cunnilicker This is such a great rendition. I love this song and I love her. This song strikes such a chord in me. The words are amazing and that voice. Almost too much for words. First you must learn how to smile as you kill if you want to live like the folks on the hill.

[rockin00boogi]

Who is this great guitarist?

[19SISYS50]

@rockin00boogi ,

the guitarist is BARRY REYNOLDS

[kisshomedotnet]

What a beautiful voice.

[xxxxxnaxxxxx]

なかなか雰囲気が出ていてかっこいい。

[AnimesPedroC]

Nothing is better than Marianne! This is the best there is in this world!

[ttesoro]

@cunnilicker

U r absolutely right....even your nick is stupid if I may so.

[phlogopit]

wow, marianne, THATS music and expression!

compared to lady gaga, madonna, justin whatever, you have to tell something with your songs.

thubs up!

[fuzonacid]

@phlogopit

Justin Bieber? lmao...If he met Marianne he would probably pee his pants.

[magdaszabo]

@phlogopit  oooohhhhh yes...ooooohhhh yeah....she is really something.

[JLennonOno]

@phlogopit i bet u never read a song from madonna or lady g u say they ve nothing to say in theire songs and that s totally wrong i leave out the fact that marianne has something to say out of a jlennon song

[phlogopit]

@JLennonOno

Yea, it's john lennon - song. I dont know, from whose feathers the songs of madonna or gaga have flowed. surely not from their own feathers.

i do respect your point, i really have no idea of the saying in the songs of those marketingstars. that has to do with their music. i dont like their music, so i am not interestet in their texts.

btw, the version of lennon s better in my opinion. but that is no reason for not liking the faithful version.

i'm no native english speaker, sorry!

[OropherThranduil]

@phlogopit

you mean she has something to tell with John Lennons song.

[phlogopit]

@OropherThranduil

exactly!

[richandrenee]

@phlogopit isn't she great, John Lennon wrote this song.

[ALLALA111]

L'intelligence et la classe

La meilleure de toute la chanson anglaise depuis 50 ans

[radshopfred]

Irgendwie bin ich verliebt in Marianne ! But no chance to meet her ! So i still dream on !

[radshopfred]

Irgendwie bin ich verliebt in Marianne ! But no chance to meet her ! So i still drem on !

[MooreHypnosis]

Faithfull was born in Hampstead, London.. Her mother, Eva von Sacher-Masoch, Baroness Erisso, had aristocratic roots in the Habsburg Dynasty and Jewish ancestry on her maternal side. Faithfull's maternal great great uncle was Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the 19th century Austrian nobleman. In regard to her roots in nobility, she said "I'm even going to Budapest, which is nice because I'm half English and half Austro Hungarian. I've inherited the title Baroness Sacher-Masoch. working class?

[yorkshiretractors]

@cunnilicker well the thing is as far as i know he was not working class . but his was good but this is a lot better any how fuck all them posh middle class assholes we have here in the uk fuck em

[yorkshiretractors]

this song is about me fuck all them posh twats here in the UK we are run by middle class assholes fuck the lot of em fuck em

[phomiffy]

whose the guitarist???

[CrMami]

She is LITTERALY making love to this song!

I love it....her voice just expresses every word and emotion.

[TheOthoudt]

@CrMami No, she is FIGURATIVELY or VIRTUALLY making love to this song. If she was "LITTERALY" (spelled LITERALLY) making love to this song she would have to be stimulating her clitoris with the sheet music. ;-)

[The64200]

I agree, this is a great cover, and a big part from that making the great musicians, thatare playing here....

[fonbets]

Fabulous MF.Just brill.

[TaxiIceland]

@cunnilicker I have to agree with you

[floydd72]

To jest rzeczywiście lepszy niż oryginał Lennon, ośmielę się powiedzieć, że jestem w mniejszości, twierdząc, że i naraża się na gniew fanów Lennon, ale to jest moja opinia, nie zrozum mnie źle, kocham Lennon oryginał, ale ten , to tylko kamienie, Faithfull to piosenki pełne prawo, pod koniec, wielki John Lennon niemal na pewno zatwierdzić i może nawet zgodzi się ze mną

[skiesburngrey]

Like the music alot but her voice in my opinion just kills it sorry if i upset anyone

[ttesoro]

@cunnilicker

I completely agree. I saw her here in Malaga few years ago. She´s fantastic.

[yogibaer1955]

diese Frau ist einfach nur Klasse , es gibt keine bessere version von "working class hero" als die von marianne faithful

[The64200]

@yogibaer1955

Doch, die von john lennon, aber dies hier ist schon klasse!

[waiotahi52]

If I wrote a song as good as this and someone did this to it I would be very very impressed.She nailed it!

[Jasppppppppppppp]

Happy Birthday Marianne

[nothinghumanlovesfor]

i am shock that there 64 negative feed lol this song is smashing, and she sing it with such depth and feeling. 

[cristyss88]

@nothinghumanlovesfor those people are deaf! :)

[Love60sMusic]

Actually, Yoko Ono and Marianne met each other again in some hotel in 1985, Yoko said that John really liked this version.

Poor Marianne, her voice got ruined by drugs such as heroin. But she is still amazing. I'am currently reading her biography (book), its touching.

[Reaper2252]

im writing this only becasue i see people saying bad things abotu other peoples covers of working class hero green day did a version so did mariyln manson ozzy ozborne tina Dico and others im saying this none of them are bad at all they all did an amazing job on their cover.... this one incldued marianna faithfull did an amazing job so im just saying all covers are very well done

[tingss92]

I love the lennon version far too much to say this is better, its is however this is very good as is the osbourne version, i would like to think this is better than that one

[aliwhitwell]

@cunnilicker .... I totally agree with you. This is in my opinion a better version than John's. The musician ship is superb and Marianne puts great feeling into the lyrics. Superb version.

[thei80]

what a voice!!

[elamite66]

The song is great. Marianne's voice, to me, has changed so much from when she sang "As Tears Go By" I know she's older but it's more than that it's almost like a different vocalist I'm not saying worse just different, maybe she just has a much wider range than I ever realized Again a great rendition

[villacapra]

Have always thought this to be the definitive version. Glad other agree. She is so under rated.

[kurtleuven]

@cunnilicker i dont agree to this i found the lennon version better mainly musical than vocal though. example of beter cover is the man who sold the world from david bowie by kurt cobain that song was written on his body..

[chrisadis]

Fantastic version with a great band too! Marianne is awesome!

[shalyma]

Marianne Faithfull! Who saw her in the film Laura Palm?She was great, better actress singer!

[frouner1995]

This version suck, Green day and John Lennon do it Better!

[LoliNana]

she's a Goddess. in every meaning of the word.

[ioriorioriorio]

@cunnilicker AH f*ck 'em if they cant take it.....Johnny would love this, and its sung from the heart...marriane's dad worked in the potato and turnip fields when he was 11, and her mom was a worker too.....She herself was a welder from age 12 till 22

[Spignelli]

Btw try the Noir Desir version, a bit more drama in it.

[Spignelli]

Great rack as well :)

[wakygee]

I heart Marianne....have for so many years

[bapyou]

This bitch rules.

[arty7777]

Great tune listen to the Green Day version

[andrewlewis963]

do women really feel the angst

[swanstep]

Great band, great vocal from Marianne. Awesome really.

[fonbets]

I think it's fantastic.

[yorkshiretractors]

WELL NOT MANY SONGS SUM ME UP BUT THIS DOSE FUCK ALL THE FUCKING mpS AND THE MIDDLE CLASS ASSHOLES IN NEW LABOUR . i for one will never vote for labour ever just a load of posh twats fuck em all YORKSHIRE RULES

[mcertonio]

Any Artist that is BRAVE enough to PUT IT OUT THERE

Is deserving of Respect!  There MANY talented people

That can sing or paint better, But did not put in the work!

it is HARD work Making An album, It Is Hard Work to book yourself

In clubs. AND "There is A chair for every ASS"

[ttesoro]

She sang this in a concert in Malaga...where lots of ppl r wealthy people on pension...but I DO know what it´s like to be someone coming from working class.

Love her!

[RoyNeary77]

Lennon would've loved this. Great version!

[blurabbit147147]

@RoyNeary77 Lennon told her himself that hers was his favorite cover.

[MillvillePekes]

better than green day

[1osbourne]

I must say i prefer listening to this version but I do like Ozzy Osbourne and Lennons version as well. Cant get me head around Cyndi Laupers tho...
