The Assassination of John Lennon

[WWFinurhouse]

It's so hypocrite that Lennon talk of peace that he can't even make peace with Paul.

[Apsu72]

I can't believe you actually taped this. This is history!

[Q7R43]

Like John ones sade "'im not afraid of dying. I think it's just getting out of one car and getting into another." That line helped me this couple of weeks, Becus my grandma past away<3 :(

[Apsu72]

@Q7R43 I'm sorry to hear about your Grandmother. I lost mine too.

[Q7R43]

@Apsu72 Thanks, And im sorry about your grandmother too! :(

[TheWeatherman1100]

Just a couple of days before lennon's assassination, he was planning a comeback. He was kiolled so We never heard the comeback

[oroizwvm]

that song they sang first song is for paul how dare they cover pauls death but john everyone knew because they saw it

[045781]

The United States is a bravewashed Media believing infested land.

Lennon was the only person on earth who could gather one million people together to protest war.

That is a serious threat to the United States war machine,

Got it...........

[LookingForVioletHill]

Goosebumps, anyone?

[Pinepaw]

Can we please stop fighting? None of it symbolizes love and peace, which John stood for, which we should all stand for.

[ozzyhead73]

@Lunarwill  gracias

[Adamalgorithm]

As a fan of classical music, I can only say that Lennon is to rock music what Beethoven is to classical music. Both are great humane visionaries and geniuses.

[zaxx19]

Unreal....every real hero this country had for 20 yrs was assassinated ......Lincoln before them, assassinated.....If a man come to free people, he shall leave in a casket I suppose. FK my life Sarah Palin will probably end up president and ill have to leave for Canada.

Im not so sure why so many want to turn such a beautiful country into such an ugly Hobbesian hell.....well I do know why, GREED.

[Napoleonkuryakin]

@OrchidOxycodone: U r a haemorroid!

[Napoleonkuryakin]

Any cunt in America can get a gun and that 'law' is what killed our John!

[hobo877]

Thank You John

[SaleGuy]

RIP John Lennon

Give peace a chance

[Curtest76]

For those who want to gain a different perspective about MDC go check out a book available from most local libraries title "Who killed John Lennon? written by Fenton Bressler.

Even Though The News Was Sad I Had To Laugh Give Peace A Chance But For Someone To Want Peace They Need Jesus He Promises Peace.

Grain Circle is crazy there are boundaries everywhere and should be enforce USA USA USA

[Tupac4lyfe44440]

Much love and props to Lennon, and plenty others who spoke up and was killed for it.

[SuperSteveo74]

wats the song on 2:22

[baxtadzeee]

@SuperSteveo74  John Lennon - GOD

[Perryfan001]

Although I'm real youn and just saw the lights of the beatles, they've influenced me. When I heard this, i said to my self this guys sing inginity times better than today's pieces of something. I can't speack for others but through what I see, John was like the President. not politically, but of peace. Unlike Paul or George or Ringo, he wrote songs through life experiences and through what he felt. He told the truth. it was like the death of Kennedy all over again, but this times even worse. RIP

[swierczek06]

December 8th darkest day of history

[thedruonzz]

@HELTERFUCKINGSKELTER Thanks. I miss that guy.

[thedruonzz]

Made me cry so hard.

[jitterbug121]

I remember this night very well, it was surreal. I hopped into the car and took a ride toThe Dakota and put a Christmas wreath on the gate. I couldn't believe it, although there were hundreds of people gathered already walking around aimlessly and in shock :..(.

[ManticoreFire]

I wouldn't really call Lennons death an assassination. An assassination is usally for a political purpose. The guy who killed Lennon was so fucking insane he thought it was for a religious purpose.

[MrCrunchypuff]

R.I.P

[cutecat190]

Kind of makes me want to cry :l he was a great person.

[sk8terboy12325]

i hope the guy who killed him rots in hell.,

[judez23mac]

One the the greatest Britons ever - a working class hero is something to be - and he was one. He was born into a a society that is STILL riddled with class injustice, and the money driven agendas of the upper classes still take precedent over our laws and our wars. One of Britain's greatest sons RIP.

[TheRichyrich245]

lennnon is better than elvis and lennons death was more tragic

[scarman1999]

i want to know is the beetles were preety rich not completly but why was john liveing in a apartment and why would they want to murder him wat did he do to deserv tht it just dont make scence....

[nathenism]

the government hated him and wanted to get rid of him...i think they did it...i gues he was trying to wake people up, i wasnt born yet so i dont know as much as i probly should

[subatan]

even 30 years later

we miss him ;-)

[plukap]

STFU lennon and elvis were kings!

[zKATRYNz]

why didnt you just put up the reports instead of making it messy with all the additions

[PrunyOldToe]

What a waste =(

Dirty muderer. >=\

[assais]

really? he died?

[GrainCircle]

Dont be a rasist. If you dont know, we all one race, a human race, and thats what JL try to tell us.

Theres no Russia, no iraq, no china, we all the one. Human beeings. Cooperaation is building, hatred is destroying. RIP John, and i hope some of your great teachings will be understanded. PEACE, FREEDOM AND LOVE!!! - i wish it for Americans!

[joeafrolovesblow]

@GrainCircle you're a fag and your ramblings make no sense

[khristapink]

@GrainCircle right you are

[GrainCircle]

If you study world music idols history, most of theese prophets have been murdered or selfkilled by drugs etc.

J.Lennon was a prophet of peace.

I dont believe his death was done by some maniac. I believe in our world theres group of people who wants to have a lots of war for profit. They dont like prophets such J.Lenn. or JFK. Wake up.

[Chris0756]

Thats a really educated statement, from what I've seen all of the terrorists and murderers come from the Middle East and Russia, don't lump me in with some nutjob from the eightes who decided to kill John. I'm american and I think John was awesome, so do yourself a favor and quit being such a dipshit xRubyGemmax

[babygirl91580]

wow judge a whole population of people on one sick ass fuck. we are not all gun loving people. i personally hate guns :(

[dougalmac54]

where are you from, dipshit? wherever it is, you must be the village idiot, indicting an entire country fro the crime of one man. so fuck off.

[ketzaliTANKU]

how could someone do something like this to such a great person?! this just shows how screwed up a lot of people are...

[lastephla]

Im not really a fan of john lennon but of course i heard of him he seems like a nice person it's a shame he died like that R.I.P John Lennon.

[HowDidHe]

John Lennon, is defintly the most famous singer to have left the world early. There are some that come close, there are some that get mor publicity , because of how they went out, some our in the news more often and remembered more fondly. But no-one, i mean no-one was as influential , amazing , high , and had such an impact on the word like Lennon did. He was extremly passionate for what he did , i can bielive ever part of the earth can gain some enjoyment out of at least 1 beatles song.RIP JL

[JohnnyGGN]

Of course not. Elvis was more famous. Get real.

[dougalmac54]

Of course not. John was more Elvis. Get stuffed!

[superman3000able]

Elvis just may come in 3rd .

[JohnnyGGN]

Haha, you`re actually funny but not in touch with the real world. Elvis was the worlds superstar and of course more famous then JL.

[superman3000able]

I have to agree on that MJand JL is da world known best musican of all time period.

[DaGGortiz]

i HATE the person who assassinated john lennon!!!!!!!! he was SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE in the earlier days, i wish i could have lived in the 60's so i could have met him. my mom's friend did, i envy her,

what would i give to have meet him, or meet them all

the man who killed john should rot in hell!!!!!!

[imcool4725]

john lennon was once asked how he thought he was going to die, and he replied i will probably be popped off by some loony

[CARNLOU]

Yep... that is true.

[TeEwEe589]

i guess he was right

[Bluespartan258]

Wow that the date of this was uploaded

[Revolver8566]

lennon and jackson are the only 2 candidates for best of all time.

people like presley,mccartney, etc. are all overrated and overexaggerated.

[stevarinoag]

why are people saying that John Lennon's death was worst than Michael Jackson's? both men were VERY talented and influential artists and you can't just say that one person's death is worst than another person's because they are both human beings and both had loved ones. You also can't say one person's music was better because all music is great (except rap, that's not really music) and plays a major role in our world..

[Khultan]

'Except rap' Boy, you sure don't know much, Stevarinoag. Such a shame on you.

[stevarinoag]

lol i actually consider it poetry because the rappers usually only come up with the lyrics. Their DJs do the rest.

[kingmonkeyballs]

jhon and not mj ... wtf..... the greatests artists

[Me6is]

I dont like the way this video was done. I doubt the news told that Lennon is dead and then played this music video.

[Billyjoeljr]

athiest or not...God frowned upon the Death of John Lennon

[DaGGortiz]

sooooo true, sooooo true,

[MrSos96]

MJ IS WAY BETTER

he healed the world like a doctor

[westcredit]

i agree

[antixbush]

Fuck MJ, His music was horrible, he was a freakish frankenstein that touched little boys.

[anthonytalks]

FUCK YOU

[rawdawg15]

He died three days before I was born

[eggmangoogoogoojoob]

An awful lot of hot air has been expended over the death of John Lennon. Of course his murder was tragic - he was only 40, after all - but let's face it, his most creative years were behind him. Just listen to 'Sgt Pepper' and then 'Double Fantasy.' Jesus. He was about to follow it up with 'Milk and Honey,' which is even more saccharine sweet and sentimental. I remember someone saying at the time 'What have we lost?' On the basis of 'Milk and Honey,' I'd have to say 'not a lot.'

[MrSos96]

hes nothin compared to mj

RiP

King full stop

[rawdawg15]

are you out of your mind. You are comparing this great man who literally helped create an entire genre of music to a bubblegum pop star who touched little boys

[PrunyOldToe]

YOU CANT compae John lennon and Micheal jackson

They are very diffrent artists

[LODGE4444]

John Lennon's murder was by far the worst crime in the history of the human race.

[KonijnKlok]

@LODGE4444 Yeah, I can't think of anything that even comes close *cough* holocaust

[starryian007]

@LODGE4444 I think you may be prone to exaggeration. The holocaust ring any bells? 6 million dead? However, I get your meaning. John Lennon's murder was indeed a despicable and cowardly crime. He robbed the world of Lennon's talent and message of peace. May God always be with John Lennon.

[yankeez99]

@LODGE4444 ya forget the world wars or the ethnic cleansings ... a musician who lived an easy life got shot :( really?

[Trainzvideo]

@LODGE4444 I think John himself would disagree... 9/11 was a lot worse I think

[anbuwolff]

if i was alive back then..and got my hands on his killer..i'd brutally beat the crap out of him til he died..

[crazyblonde0]

i feel the same, but it would have been against everything John worked for and believed in. I'm pretty sure that in heaven, John forgave Chapman...

[anbuwolff]

your right..for john..i geuss il learn to control my anger..

[elotriggerhands]

me 2.

[HistoryofTek]

great tribute video......

[johnny10301968]

They gave M.J. more coverage than John Lennon.

[lhkjk]

so what

[elvis316]

Uh, Lennon also died before the internet existed, that might have had something to do with lack of coverage--that and you probably aren't old enough to really remember.

Not to mention that local news in large metropolitan areas focuses on 'urban' media. Figure that one out. That and everyone loves a freakshow. Take your pick. Tool.

[eggmangoogoogoojoob]

Yes, but back then in 1980 we didn't have 24 hour rolling television news (at least not here in the UK, where we still had only three TV channels), or the Internet, or Sky, cable, text, mobiles ... there was more media coverage regarding the death of Michael Jackson simply because there is so much more of a media industry than there was then! Don't get me wrong, Michael Jackson was a great entertainer, but let's just look at the bigger picture here before we lose all sense of proportion.

[Emarald4500]

rip john you will never be forgotten

[verbaud]

Michael Jackson Whooooo?????.......

[LifeinPink11]

What's that song called, the first one where John's singing, it was so beautiful, I just can't remember the name?

[jesusranch34]

It says right there, "A Day in the Life"

[aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy]

i really liked this video. it makes me sad though :( if i would've been alive when Lennon was shot i would've cried!

i think it was such a big shock because it was so sudden and unexpected. kinda like the Michael Jackson thing.

"Give peace a chance"

[RileyRichardz]

i wanna shove a fucking chainsaw up mark david chapmans ass, and cut off his arms and legs, and drown him!

[icrynuxfire]

Lennon wouldn't approve of that! ;)

[PatronusSecretum]

Then you're no better than him

[crazyiot]

Lennon is my idol,hero. My goal is that someday i get to talk with mark and probably ask why the hell he shot lennon.i hope lennon is in peace.

[rotory2002]

I don't want to see Chapman dead. I want to see him live for 200 years with sores all over his body and constantly fearing what his fellow inmates are going to do to him if he goes into general population. I would be willing to bet that if Chapman died tomarrow, John Lennon would meet him in the afterlife and just hug him, Forgive him and ask him WHY. But I am not John so FUCK YOU Mark David Chapman !!!!!!!!

[Voolvifmonn]

I couldn't agree more...if only he could experience burning to death without actually dieing.

[vocesdelmasallaperu]

WHY SHOOT A SINGER? SO WEIRD.

[Heer69]

Why shoot anyone?

[vickymendez1987]

really am so sorry ... makes me very sad.

He was an incredible artist, a man of peace, a marker of trends. idol of the crowds!

I adored, and adore, and I'll adore for the rest of my life.

was a person who will never be forgotten

[SantaMaria444]

the bealtles ruined american music! He's an asshole!

[waky2backy]

The Assassination of John Lennon

Was One Of The Most Senseless Acts Of The Last 1000 Years

And That Bastard Chapman Got His Last Autograph

CIA Black Opps If Ever There Was One!

Im Sorry This Had To Happen

[TheRagingDoomFire]

Has Chapman gotten parole? Or is he still in prison?

[matmadman]

I'm not gonna say that I don't want to kill that fucking man cuz it would be a big lie, but I think that is God who must take care about it. No one of us can do anything, maybe yes we can, but we'd be doing the same shit that Chapman did. If we say we hate him, why do we want to be like him?. Just think about it...

[icrynuxfire]

Exactlyyyyy!

[5tharchmage]

he didn't dereves to die!!! god!!

[diguchisecuador]

Damn I am in Latin American and I cant speak a very good english but i love all his songs and his lifestyle he was a hero, I am 19 years old but he is like my Idol, Imagine and working class hero are all the time in my mind becouse I wanna be a better man like you Lennon

[lotsologan]

Dont kill the man who killed john lennon. John lennon believed in peace. if u follow john lennon and believe in his will, do not kill people.

[lotsologan]

holy shit, i almost cried. Beautiful man john lennon was. no one else can fill his shoes.

[actor41]

wow john lennon was a wonderful man who changed the world. Its so sad that he died. A good video and very touching

[juangonzalo3294]

mmm... I miss Lennon, but thats weird, because I'm a little fan of him!

I admire him very much! The Beatles Rock!

[traf1852]

A video nicely put together -- Lennon's genius with what Lennon was all about... PURE GENIUS !!

[helderleal]

Genius have always a tragic way to die...

Great video, ending with the place where they begin, the Cavern, was a nice touch!

[monkeythriller]

what a crying shame, a man of such talent. r.i.p john

[Pacolikespie1967]

He should have

[actor41]

im sorry i know he did a horribul thing but noone deserves the death penalty

[LadyBugTab]

i agree

[JadenTheCoolGuy]

Apparently the murderer was some Christian nut-job who thought he was a "blasphemous phony"...so that's where the Bible get's you.

[nickranes3]

what, that fool got shot cause that time he said they were bigger than jesus?

[TheMccartneySIayer]

Fuck!

[RoosterToot]

The Beatles music has effected me alot ever since I became a fan. He did not deserve to die this way - All he wanted was peace. Granted, he wasn't a perfect person, none of us are perfect people - but John Lennon DID NOT deserve to die this way. He was a voice and inspiration to millions - to a whole generation. I will ALWAYS be a Beatles fan.

[RoosterToot]

Wow. I may not have been alive during the 60's, or even the day Lennon was shot... but this video... it gives me a huge lump in my throat, and makes me very sad. I was very, very reluctant to even view any videos regarding news reports the day he died - I was too afraid to - but you did this video very well, even if it made me very, deeply sad.

[ChillingBanana]

I want to kill the bastard who killed it..

[nolimitdreamer]

very sad and one of the greatest voices of all

[amgidshared]

hijo de puta

[SLUMBERS2]
