  • A good cover that does justice to the origional and i like how he edits out the swear word himself without it having to be bleeped`.

  • Dreadful! "...something to beer"? Guitar style doesn't fit the words so loses the poignancy. Awful!

  • Whos the gay guy.

  • I like this version, but the best, for me, its John Lennons Version. I think, the feelin of him, what he feels, you can see, feel and hear it in his own song at the best!

  • Comment removed

  • I like this video but Green Day is one word

  • The version that I liked the most.

  • Better than John Lennon!!!!!!!1

  • @oldinfant23 you're stupid. no.

    

  • @jdrush92yo dude that's my opinion!!!!

    You have no right to say that I am stupid!!!!

  • @oldinfant23 you're stupid. (:

  • @oldinfant23

    Yeah, i like GreenDay's tribute more aswell. a bit more music, sounds better overall.

    John Lennon and GreenDay, the music industry hit a real high-note here

  • one of my friends sang this at a school concert. after he came to me, hugged me and whisperd "that was for you." i nearly cry every time i hear this because of the memories and reasons behind why he did it.

  • @100blueeyedboy

    would you care too elaborate on that? i'm one of those people that needs to know something compleatly or it nags at me untill i forget

  • @AgentTasmania

    well not long before, my mum died and left me orphaned. but i kept goin to school. kept carryin on. the reason he did it is because he thought i was a hero for bein so strong.

  • @100blueeyedboy

    and as usual i now kinda wish i didn't know. but props for keepin strong. if misfortune slaps you in the face, kick it in the nuts

  • As far as the makeup thing goes, bands have been doing it forever from David Bowie to The Stones and Kiss. Wearing makeup doesn't make you gay, but, kissing a guy that wears makeup does.

  • Ok. I'm an old fucker that remembers when Lennon's version was banned for using the word fuck. Musicians throw around curse words nowadays to be cool. Lennon was making a statement about society and trying to shove it in the face of an establishment that didn't give a shit about the average person.BTW, I do like this version though. This is Green Day honoring a legend.

  • @61Turboman FYI, they still don't give a shit!

  • I think he may be a commie

  • Keep Rocking Wise one S

  • Sad song, never ending.

  • I disagree - for what its worth - i love the industrial chain. This version does as much justice to the song as Lennon and is as individual as Faithful - there are far worse covers

  • GREEN DAY ARE FUCKING LEGENDS

  • Not sure about this song. It's kind of... eh, and Lennon'll prolly do it better if I try listening to him doing it.

    'Course, I can't hear for shit, so maybe it'll be more interesting if I go stare at the lyrics... Then again, lyrics are Lennon's, so.

  • What a joke,

    Fucking has beens need to take off the eyeliner and the gay belts and start using the word fuck. Pussies

  • "American Idiot" uses the words "faggot" and "fuck" in it, actually. And the belts are not /technically/ gay, although, I believe, belts in general are rather useful for related purposes, so perhaps your assessment is not /too/ far gone...

    And seriously, all humans who are shown on television wear makeup. The level of makeup should not necessarily make or break their sexuality.

  • Ahaha your funny :)

    I've too also heard belts are useful for said purposes, like holding up ones trousers

  • fuck u

  • Wow dude everyone thinks your cool cause you said fuck. The TV program blocked it out because this was on American Idol you big dumb fuckin retard.

  • go and listen to half of there fuking songs before you start shouting your mouth off

  • I love this cover, not as good as original yeah, but it's still good.

  • the origninal way mutch better

  • goddammit. its as if i didnt have enough reasons to hate greenday

  • Its Green Day, you dumbass go back to school and learn where to end words.

  • this sucks compared to the original

  • Me löve it

  • that's not a good cover, quite a poor one in fact. all they added to the original song is power chords and heavy drums, nothing imaginative. of course it sounds good, because the original song sounds good.

  • The best seconds : 4:24 - 4:40

  • Of course its beautyful because is written by John Lennon :)

  • most beautiful song i've ever heard!

  • who is this picture of?

  • they ruined this song

  • Listened to this four times over, it's absolutely brilliant, even though it's a cover, it's easily one of their best!

  • the best cover of the song. even better than the original imo

  • fuck you.

  • That was uncalled for.

  • i think its a good cover, and its good a band these days has something to say,i cant remember the last time any musician said anything about what is happening in todays world. good on them.

  • The've killed it?

    Bullshit,I mean really If you didnt like it why did you click on it?

  • honest awnser is i seen it while i was listenin to john lennon singin it, thats why i clicked on it

  • Why do I have to stare at this dude the whole way through the song?

  • where is this??

  • American Idol finals. Season 6, I'm pretty sure.

  • nice the only one not deleted i usualy dont like live but this one has less yelling

    ty bro

  • i dont mind the bad sonund quality it makes it sound more original

  • Fucking fail. A good quality song is Not live, get the real version.

  • Four words. Fear of the dark.

  • Music is live by definition. Everything else is tinned 'music' that only serve as advertisement for the real thing - the live event.

  • Thank you. But as you can not tell the difference between what I mean and what is "tinned live 'music'" you should get a proper education.
