I would have much preferred this to "Mother" as the first cut on "Plastic Ono Band." It fits that album perfectly. Tough, lean, and in your face. In 1969-1970 John's muse was still a force to be reckoned with.
Really too bad that Julian Lennon could not get with Paul, George and Ringo and see if they could do some songs. But it was not meant to be. Julian is good, not his dad, but still pretty good. But too late now, with George gone now too.
my turkey wasnt from heroin---it was from valium on which im addicted since 2006---thing is---heroin turkey is 3 days and valium 6(SIX) fckin days of ,,rollin in pain,, ,when every sound or touch feels like a touch of real LEPER!!!
rotten... but you can survive with alcohol,really helps,but be in uncounciesness from it. six fckin days!!! nightmares..pain..paranoia...no,not paranoia -its real fear ure gonna fade away
On October 9th we will all watch "Imagine" in honor of the greatest singer ever's birthday. Let's give him the best birthday present ever: the highest viewed video on YouTube!! Let's give him what he deserves and what Justin Bieber does not deserve to have!
Copy and paste to all John lennon/beatles videos and all music videos let's get this noticed quickly!
Whether J.L. literally experienced it, or figuratively imagined it, he managed to express a thorough range of the pain and desperation that can hit you when parting with something that was a major element in ones life...It was too heavy for Paul, he either didn't get it,...or understood it too much.

@EnglishTeaCp I know. I found it kinda hot for some reason O.o. He screams like that because this song is about what John was thinking from, withdrawing from Herion and The screaming at the end represented How he( and most addicts will) will feel they are going out of their mind whhile their withdrawing. but still its kinda hot. lolz
if the beatles never broke up,i think they would have made this song. think about it. ringo on drums, george on guitar and paul with his bass and backing vocals
@BEARARMZ Says on the wiki for this song John did present it to Paul as a possible Beatles single, but Paul rejected it so got released as a Plastic Ono Band single.
@jlk792 I dunno, too fast for using it as much as the main riff in here. I just love the song the way it is, but maybe some more bluesy leads like the intro here and there would do great
Very good!

He must have been singing from experience. The" Primal Scream Therapy" he and Yoko were going thru is evident in the last half of the song.
